Detection of glucocorticoid residues in pig liver by high-performance liquid chromatography with on-line electrogenerated [Cu(HIO6)2](5-)--luminol chemiluminescence detection

A novel method was developed for the simultaneous determination of glucocorticoid residues such as triamcinolone (TR), prednisolone (PR), hydrocortisone (HC), cortisone (CO), methylprednisolone (MP), dexamethasone (DE) and triamcinolone acetonide (TA) by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with chemiluminescence (CL) detection. The procedure was based on the enhancement effect of glucocorticoids on the chemiluminescence reaction between luminol and the complex of trivalent copper and periodate ([Cu(HIO6)2]5-), which was on-line electrogenerated by constant current electrolysis. The HPLC separation used a Nucleosil RP-C18 column (250 mmx4.6 mm i.d., 5 microm, pore size, 100 A) with a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and 1.0 mmol L(-1) ammonium acetate (pH 6.8, 40:60,v/v) at a flow rate of 0.8 mL min(-1). The effects of several parameters on the HPLC resolution and CL emission were studied systematically. Liver samples were hydrolyzed with Helix pomatia juice followed by a solid-phase extraction procedure. Under optimum conditions, the limits of detection (LOD) at a signal-to-noise of 3 ranged from 0.08 to 1.0 ng g(-1) and the limits of quantification (LOQ) at a signal-to-noise of 10 ranged from 0.27 to 3.33 ng g(-1) for seven glucocorticoids. The relative standard deviations (RSD) of intra- and inter-day precision were below 6.8%. The average recoveries for glucocorticoids (spiked at the levels of 5-50 ng g(-1)) in pig liver ranged from 88 to 106%, and the relative standard deviations of the quantitative results were from 2.0 to 6.9%. The proposed method had been successfully applied to the determination of glucocorticoid residues in pig liver.

Chromatographic Applications on Monolithic Columns: Determination of Triamcinolone, Prednisolone and Dexamethasone in Pharmaceutical Tablet Formulations Using a Solid Phase Extraction and a Monolithic Column

A method is described for extraction, separation and quantification of 3 corticosteroids in tablets (triamcinolone, prednisolone and dexamethasone). The extraction was achieved using a solid phase extraction (SPE) on RP-18 cartridges. The steroids eluates were examined by HPLC. The chromatographic separation was carried out on Chromolith^® Performance RP-18e column, a new packing material consisting of monolithic rods of highly porous silica, using isocratic binary mobile phase of MeOH and H₂O in the ratio 1: 1. A diode array detector was used at 254 nm for detection. The method was validated for system suitability, linearity, precision, limits of detection, specificity, stability and robustness. The limits of detection were 6.25, 6.25 and 12.50 ng per 25 L injected volumes for them respectively. The recovery values of this method were between 89 and 101% and the reproducibility was within 6.86.     

Comparison of different liquid chromatography methods for the determination of corticosteroids in biological matrices

Various extraction techniques can be combined with column liquid chromatography (LC) and ultraviolet (UV) or mass spectrometric (MS) detection for the determination of synthetic corticosteroids in biological matrices. Target analysis of low concentrations of 25 microg/kg of dexamethasone in feed can be performed by combining immunoaffinity chromatography (IAC) and LC with UV detection. A straightforward multi-analyte procedure is obtained by tandem solid-phase extraction (SPE) and subsequent LC-UV. However, the limits of detection for feed samples are then relatively poor, viz. 100 microg/kg. A multi-analyte method which meets modern demands of about 5 microg/kg detection limit requires one-step SPE combined with LC-MS analysis. As regards urine corticosteroids can be determined down to a level of 0.5 microg/l by either SPE-LC-MS- MS or SPE(IAC)-LC-MS.     

On-line automatic SPE-CE coupling for the determination of biological markers in urine

Automatic SPE has been coupled on-line to CE by a transfer tube and the replenishment system of the CE instrument. The approach allows the target analytes (viz. creatinine, creatine, xanthine, hypoxanthine, uric acid, p-aminohippuric acid and ascorbic acid in urine samples) to be removed from the sample matrix, cleaned up, preconcentrated and injected into the capillary. The detection limits range between 0.14 and 4.50 microg/mL, the quantification limits between 0.45 and 15.0 microg/mL, and linear dynamic ranges - which include the reference healthy human values - from the quantification limits to 1332 microg/mL. The precision, expressed as RSD, ranges between 0.38 and 2.22% for repeatability and between 1.79 and 7.61% for within-laboratory reproducibility. The errors, expressed as RSD for all compounds, range between 0.20 and 6.90%. The time for automatic SPE and that necessary for the individual separation-detection of the target analytes are 13 and 12 min, respectively; the analysis frequency is 5 h(-1). The accuracy of the method and potential matrix effects were studied by using spiked samples and recoveries between 96.00 and 103.07 % were obtained. The proposed method was applied to samples from healthy young students.     

Micellar electrokinetic chromatography for simultaneous determination of six corticosteroids in commercial pharmaceuticals

We have developed a micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) method using bile salts for the simultaneous determination of six corticosteroids, including betamethasone, cortisone, prednisolone, 6alpha-methylprednisolone, triamcinolone, and prednisone. The separation was performed using borate buffer containing sodium cholate and sodium deoxycholate. Several parameters were studied, including bile salt concentrations, concentrations and pH of borate buffer, and analytical voltages. In method validation, calibration curves were linear over a range of 10-100 microM for each corticosteroid. The RSD (relative standard deviation) and RE (relative error) were all less than 5% for intra- and interday assays. The limit of detection of each analyte was 5 microM. The recoveries were greater than 95%. Application of this method for quality control of commercial tablets also proved to be feasible. All analytical values fall within the labeled amount of 90-110% for betamethasone and prednisolone, and of the labeled amount of 92.5-107.5% for 6alpha-methylprednisolone, as required by the United State Pharmacopeia 25 (USP 25).     

Separation of corticosteroids by microemulsion EKC with diethyl L-tartrate as the oil phase

A novel microemulsion based on a mixture of diethyl L-tartrate (DET) and SDS was developed for the microemulsion EKC (MEEKC) determination of structurally related steroids. The system consisted of 0.5% w/w DET, 1.7% w/w SDS, 1.2% w/w 1-butanol, 89.6% w/w phosphate buffer (40 mM, pH 7.0), and 7% w/w ACN. With an applied voltage of +10 kV, a baseline separation of aldosterone (A), cortisone acetate (CA), dexamethasone (D), hydrocortisone (H), hydrocortisone acetate (HA), prednisolone (P), prednisolone acetate (PA), prednisone (Ps), triamcinolone (T), and triamcinolone acetonide (TA) could be achieved. Under the optimized conditions, the reproducibility of the retention time (n = 4) for most of the compounds was less than +/-0.8% with the exception of A, Ps, and T. The average number of theoretical plates was 18 800 plates/m. The results were compared with those achieved by the modified micellar EKC (MEKC). MEEKC showed obvious advantages over MEKC for the separation of highly hydrophobic substances. To further evaluate the system, we tested the MEEKC method by analyzing corticosteroids in a spiked urine sample.

Multiresidue analysis of glucocorticoids in milk by LC–MS/MS with low‐temperature purification and dispersive solid‐phase extraction

A multiresidue method for the determination of 12 glucocorticoids (clobetasol propionate, budesonide, triamcinolone, triamcinolone acetonide, fludrocortisone acetate, flumethasone, beclomethasone, prednisone acetate, 6‐α‐methylprednisolone, hydrocortisone, cortisone, and prednisone) in bovine milk was developed using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. Isoflupredone was used as an internal standard. Milk samples were treated with ethyl acetate to extract glucocorticoids and were frozen at −20°C for 6 h to precipitate fat. The extract was dried under nitrogen, and residues were dissolved in an acetonitrile/water solution. A further clean‐up step was used by dispersive solid‐phase extraction, with octadecyl silica and primary secondary amine as the absorbents. The recoveries of glucocorticoids spiked at 0.5, 1.0, 10.0 μg/kg ranged from 75.7 to 117.3%, except for clobetasol propionate and budesonide (16.1–49.5%). The limits of quantification were 0.01–0.5 μg/kg in milk. This method has been successfully applied in real samples. The results demonstrated that this method is simple, robust, and suitable for identification of glucocorticoid residues in milk.     

Determination of beta-agonist residues in bovine urine using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry

A multiresidue method was developed and validated to screen bovine urine samples for 10 beta-2-adrenergic agonistic drugs--brombuterol, cimaterol, clenbuterol, clenpenterol, isoxsuprine, mabuterol, ractopamine, ritodrine, salbutamol, and tulobuterol--at the 2 microg/L level. The method is also quantitative in the range of 1 to 4 microg/L for all analytes except salbutamol. The procedure uses enzymatic digestion, liquid-liquid extraction, and cleanup on solid-phase extraction columns, followed by detection using a liquid chromatograph-tandem quadrupole mass spectrometer operated in the positive-ion atmospheric pressure chemical ionization multiple-reaction monitoring mode. Method validation included assessment of recoveries, repeatabilities, linearity of responses, decision limits, and detection capabilities. Overall average recoveries ranged from 70-91%; recoveries were generally lower for salbutamol. The decision limits ranged from 0.4-1.0 microg/L, and detection capabilities from 0.6-1.7 microg/L.

Stable isotope dilution mass spectrometry for the simultaneous determination of cortisol, cortisone, prednisolone and prednisone in plasma.

A capillary gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric method for the simultaneous determination of cortisol, cortisone, prednisolone and prednisone in human plasma is described. [1,1,19,19,19-2H5]Cortisol, [1,1,19,19,19-2H5]cortisone, [1,19,19,19-2H4]prednisolone and [1,19,19,19-2H4]prednisone were used as internal standards. Formation of the bismethylenedioxy-3-heptafluoro-n-butyryl (BMD-HFB) derivatives made possible the separation of the four corticosteroids with good gas chromatographic behaviour. The new double derivatization has been demonstrated to be of value for sensitive and selective quantification by this technique. Detection was performed by monitoring the molecular ion (M+) of the BMD-HFB derivatives for cortisone and prednisolone, the [M - 18]+ ion for cortisol, and the [M - 30]+ ion for prednisone. The method requires no complex corrections for contributions and provides good accuracy and precision.     

Solid-phase extraction of polar compounds with a hydrophilic copolymeric sorbent

A new synthesized copolymer based on N-vinylimidazole-divinylbenzene (VIm-DVB) was tested as a sorbent for the solid-phase extraction (SPE) of polar analytes. In the on-line SPE, this synthesized sorbent enabled 100 ml of sample to be preconcentrated with recoveries as high as 80% for oxamyl, phenol (Ph) and derivates, bentazone and (4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy)acetic acid (MCPA). For the off-line SPE, 1000 ml of sample was extracted and recoveries were higher than 92% for all compounds with the exception of oxamyl (83%) and methomyl (78%). The VIm-DVB sorbent gives better recoveries than the previously synthesized 4-vinylpyridine-divinylbenzene (VP-DVB) resin and similar to such highly crosslinked commercial sorbents as LiChrolut EN or Oasis HLB. Real water samples were used to validate the on-line SPE method. Linearity was good and detection limits were between 0.1 and 0.2 microg l(-1).

Amphiphilic polymeric micelle as pseudostationary phase in electrokinetic chromatography for analysis of eight corticosteroids in cosmetics

Amphiphilic polymeric micelle, as a novel pseudostationary phase in EKC was used to determine eight kinds of corticosteroids namely hydrocortisone, prednisolone, hydrocortisone acetate, prednisone, cortisone acetate, prednisolone acetate, dexamethasone, and triamcinolone acetonide in cosmetics. Amphiphilic random copolymer poly(methyl methacrylate‐co‐methacrylic acid) (P(MMA‐co‐MAA)) was micellizated via neutralization in alkaline aqueous solution. The influences of the molar ratio of monomer MMA to MAA, the concentration of polymer and pH on the polymeric micelle microstructure and EKC performances were investigated. As molar ratio of MMA to MAA in P(MMA‐co‐MAA) increased, both CMC and environmental polarity of the inner core in polymeric micelle decreased dramatically. With increasing monomer ratio, the size of polymeric micelles increased firstly, and then decreased, finally increased again. ζ potential of the micelle had a slight decline trend. As increment of polymer concentration, the size of the polymeric micelle increased steadily. By optimizing the monomer ratio, the polymer concentration, and pH of the running buffer, as well as operation conditions such as separation voltage and temperature, the eight analytes could be separated within 16.5 min using 7.5 mg/mL polymer with the monomer ratio of 7:3 dissolved in pH 9.2 borax buffer as the running buffer. The method has been used for analysis of corticosteroids in cosmetic samples with simple extraction; the recoveries for eight analytes were between 85.9 and 106%. This method was of accuracy, repeatability, pretreatment simplicity, and could be applied to the quality control of cosmetics.
