硅胶基质固定相离子对反相液相色谱法测定强离解化合物的正辛醇/水分配系数

反相液相色谱(RPLC)是测定正辛醇/水分配系数(log P)的有效方法,但由于缺少同类型模型化合物,RPLC在测定强离解化合物的log P时遇到挑战。该文在硅胶基质C18色谱柱上,采用离子抑制反相液相色谱(IS-RPLC)和离子对反相液相色谱(IP-RPLC)分别对中性化合物、酚酸、羧酸、磺酸及部分两性化合物的保留行为进行了系统研究。在IS-RPLC模式下,利用中性化合物、弱离解的酚酸和苯羧酸作为模型化合物,建立了表观正辛醇/水分配系数(log D)与纯水相保留因子对数值(log k_w)的定量结构-保留行为关系(QSRR)模型,测定了19种离解化合物的log D值,作为后续IP-RPLC的模型化合物及验证化合物。在IP-RPLC模式下,将中性、弱离解和强离解化合物作为混合模型组,以溶质静电荷n_e、氢键酸碱性参数A和B为桥梁,建立了线性良好的log D-log k_w-IP模型,采用3种不同类型的离解化合物进行了外部验证实验,预测值误差低于10%,证实了模型的可靠性。在此基础上,预测了8种强离解化合物的log D_7.0值(pH 7.0条件下的log D值)。研究表明,利用结构相关参数沟通不同类型的模型化合物,是实现IP-RPLC测定强离解化合物log D值的一种行之有效的方法。与聚乙烯醇基质色谱柱相比,通用型的硅胶基质色谱柱上尽管存在着更多的次级作用,但可以为强离解化合物log D的测定提供更灵活的选择。

On-Line HPLC with Biochemical Detection for Screening Bioactive Compounds in Complex Matrixes

On-line high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with biochemical detection (BCD) has been developed to screen compounds showing antioxidant action, enzyme inhibition and receptor affinity in complex matrixes. This review summarizes HPLC methods combining different post-column detection methods, such as diode-array detection (DAD), mass spectrometry (MS), chemiluminescence (CL) and nuclear magnetic resonance, for antioxidant screening. The methods based on a single relatively stable reagent such as DPPH^• and ABTS^•+ were the most popular. Oxygen free radical scavengers mainly depended on post-column CL detection. The on-line hyphenated HPLC–BCD systems based on post-column UV/DAD fluorescence and MS detection were also widely applied to screen enzyme- and receptor-active compounds. These strategies provide a convenient tool for quick identification and quantification of active compounds in complex matrixes.

     

The use of nitrous oxide for supercritical fluid extraction of pharmaceutical compounds from animal feed

Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) coupled “off-line” with HPLC analysis has been applied to pharmaceutical analysis: two different matrixes (rodent and dog feed) were spiked with compounds under investigation in pharmacological studies in order to study the supercritical extraction of such matrixes prior to further analysis and quantification of the compounds of interest. The fluid flow-rate in the SFE system was governed by the geometric characteristics (internal diameter and length) of the linear fused silica capillaries. The changes in fluid flow-rate, between experiments, for each new restrictor, required the introduction of the term Total Gaseous Fluid Volume (TGFV), which enabled a series of extraction results to be compared. The comparative behavior of nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide as supercritical extraction fluids was investigated. Results obtained using pure supercritical fluids with high solvating power (density 0.79 g ml^?1) and fluids modified with a polar liquid solvent (methanol and acetonitrile) are discussed.     

Determination of residues of quaternary ammonium disinfectants in food products by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry

A liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method has been developed for the determination of residues of alkylbenzyldimethylammonium, didecyldimethylammonium, didodecyldimethylammonium, and benzyldodecylhydroxyethylammonium compounds in various food matrixes. These quaternary ammonium compounds (QAs) are used in the food industry as disinfectants. According to the Dutch Food Law, the total mass (expressed as cetyltrimethylammonium chloride) of QAs in food products shall not exceed the legislative limit of 0.5 mg/kg. Samples were extracted by a simple salting-out procedure, using acetonitrile and sodium chloride; about 100 samples could be prepared and analyzed daily. Special care had to be taken to thoroughly homogenize samples and to avoid the use of contaminated labware. The method was validated by a procedure in compliance with EU Directive 2002/657. From the matrixes of ice cream and minced meat, recoveries of more than 95% with a relative standard deviation of about 3% were obtained by 3 different analysts (n = 54). Detection limits were in the low microg/kg range. The decision limit (CCalpha) was determined to be 0.55 mg/kg. Dairy and meat products, collected in The Netherlands, were analyzed (761 samples). In 1% of the meat samples, 2% of the ice cream and milkshake samples, and 24% of the whipped cream samples, the Dutch legislative limit was exceeded. Over 2000 injections could be performed on a single column without deterioration of the peak shapes or recoveries.     

Advances in the determination of degradation intermediates of personal care products in environmental matrixes: a review

In this review, recent methods developed for the determination of degradation intermediates of personal care products in environmental matrixes focusing on the extraction and determination steps are discussed. The five classes of personal care products evaluated are stimulants, fragrances, sunscreens, antimicrobials, and insect repellents. Methods are critically reviewed in terms of the analytical steps involved in the analysis, sample pretreatment, separation, and detection as well as the different confirmation strategies employed. Preconcentration from aqueous matrixes was performed by solid-phase extraction, liquid–liquid extraction, or solid-phase microextraction, allowing the simultaneous extraction of parent compounds and their degradation intermediates. Following the extraction and cleanup steps, the identification and quantification of degradation intermediates of personal care products at environmental levels (i.e., parts per trillion to parts per billion range) is usually performed by using mass spectrometry techniques such as single quadrupole mass spectrometry and more recently by time-of-flight mass spectrometry or tandem mass spectrometry. The main scope of this review is to critically evaluate the current state of the art of the analytical techniques used and to identify the research needs in the determination of degradation intermediates of personal care products in environmental matrixes.     

Analysis of new psychoactive substances in human urine by ultra‐high performance supercritical fluid and liquid chromatography: Validation and comparison

New psychoactive substances represent serious social and health problem as tens of new compounds are detected in Europe annually. They often show structural proximity or even isomerism, which complicates their analysis. Two methods based on ultra high performance supercritical fluid chromatography and ultra high performance liquid chromatography with mass spectrometric detection were validated and compared. A simple dilute‐filter‐and‐shoot protocol utilizing propan‐2‐ol or methanol for supercritical fluid or liquid chromatography, respectively, was proposed to detect and quantify 15 cathinones and phenethylamines in human urine. Both methods offered fast separation (<3 min) and short total analysis time. Precision was well <15% with a few exceptions in liquid chromatography. Limits of detection in urine ranged from 0.01 to 2.3 ng/mL, except for cathinone (5 ng/mL) in supercritical fluid chromatography. Nevertheless, this technique distinguished all analytes including four pairs of isomers, while liquid chromatography was unable to resolve fluoromethcathinone regioisomers. Concerning matrix effects and recoveries, supercritical fluid chromatography produced more uniform results for different compounds and at different concentration levels. This work demonstrates the performance and reliability of supercritical fluid chromatography and corroborates its applicability as an alternative tool for analysis of new psychoactive substances in biological matrixes.     

Simultaneous determination of pesticides, biopesticides and mycotoxins in organic products applying a quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe extraction procedure and ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry

A method for the simultaneous determination of pesticides, biopesticides and mycotoxins from organic products was developed. Extraction of more than 90 compounds was evaluated and performed by using a modified QuEChERS-based (acronym of Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe) sample preparation procedure. The method was based on a single extraction with acidified acetonitrile, followed by partitioning with salts, avoiding any clean-up step prior the determination by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography/tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry (UHPLC–MS/MS). Validation studies were carried out in wheat, cucumber and red wine as representative matrixes. Recoveries of the spiked samples were in the range between 70 and 120% (with intra-day precision, expressed as relative standard deviation, lower than 20%) for most of the analysed compounds, except picloram and quinmerac. Inter-day precision, expressed as relative standard deviation, was lower than 24%. Limits of quantification were lower than 10 μg kg⁻¹ and the developed method was successfully applied to the analysis of organic food products, detecting analytes belonging to the three types of compounds.     

Alysis of the volatile constituents of food by headspace GC-MS with reversal of the carrier gas flow during sampling

A technique has been developed for performing headspace GC-MS analysis of volatile components of food, in which the carrier gas flow is reversed during sampling in order to overcome problems caused by the diffusion of substances not retained by the cold trap. Chromatographic profiles of volatile compounds from cheeses, obtained at room temperature, provide confirmation of the validity of the reversed flow technique, and the versatility of the system is evidenced by its successful application to both solid and liquid matrixes: the absence of any discrimination against the various components reveals its efficacy for compounds with a wide range of volatility. Addition of internal standards to the sample enables the use of the technique for quantitative analysis.     

Determination of cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) in selected foods by liquid chromatography: NMKL collaborative study

Results are presented from an NMKL (Nordic Committee on Food Analysis) collaborative study of a method for the determination of cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) in foods. The method is based on the addition of an internal standard (vitamin D2), followed by saponification and extraction with n-heptane. The fraction that contains vitamin D2/D3 is separated by preparative normal-phase liquid chromatography (LC), and the analytes are determined by reversed-phase LC with UV detection at 265 nm. The method was tested by 8 participating laboratories. In this study 6 different matrixes were analyzed for cholecalciferol content: milk, liquid infant formula (gruel), cooking oil, margarine, infant formula, and fish oil. The contents varied from 0.4 to 12 microg/100 g. Three matrixes (milk, gruel, and margarine) were fortified with vitamin D3. In the other matrixes, vitamin D3 was added at 3 different levels at the Swedish National Food Administration. The milk was analyzed as a blind duplicate, whereas the other matrixes were analyzed as split-level pairs. The recoveries from the samples with vitamin D3 added varied from 93 to 102%. The repeatability relative standard deviation (RSDr) values for accepted results varied between 2.2% (fish oil) and 7.4% (cooking oil), whereas the reproducibility relative standard deviation (RSD(R)) values varied between 6.8% (margarine) and 24% (cooking oil).

Determination of chlorinated acid herbicides in vegetation and soil by liquid chromatography/electrospray-tandem mass spectrometry

The method presented uses reversed-phase liquid chromatography with negative electrospray ionization and tandem mass spectrometry to analyze 9 chlorinated acid herbicides in soil and vegetation matrixes: clopyralid, dicamba, MCPP, MCPA, 2,4-DP, 2,4-D, triclopyr, 2,4-DB, and picloram. A 20 g portion is extracted with a basic solution and an aliquot acidified and micropartitioned with 3 mL chloroform. Vegetation samples are subjected to an additional cleanup with a mixed-mode anion exchange solid-phase extraction cartridge. Two precursor product ion transitions per analyte are measured and evaluated to provide the maximum degree of confidence in results. Average recoveries for 3 different soil types tested ranged from 72 to 107% for all compounds with the exception of 2,4-DB at 56-99%. Average recoveries for the 3 different vegetation types studied were lower and ranged from 53 to 80% for all compounds.
