Preconcentration of methylxanthines on hyper-cross-linked polystyrene followed by their determination by high-performance liquid chromatography

We studied the possibility of hyper-cross-linked polystyrene application to the dynamic sorption preconcentration (solid-phase extraction) of methylxanthines (caffeine, theophylline, theobromine, diprophylline, and pentoxifylline) from aqueous solutions. The conditions of preconcentration were optimized as follows: solution volume of 25 mL (pH ～ 6), solution flow rate 0.7 mL/min, microcolumn size 25 × 2.7 mm, adsorbent weight 0.055 g. The compounds were desorbed into a 0.5-mL portion of methanol and determined in the eluate by reversed-phase HPLC with spectrophotometric detection at 280 nm.

The detection limits for methylxanthines are 1 (theophylline, theobromine), 2 (caffeine, diprophylline) and 4 (pentoxifylline) ng/mL. The procedure was applied to the analysis of urine-based model mixtures.

分子烙印聚合物固定相分离咖啡因和茶碱的研究

分子烙印是一种新兴的分子识别技术,利用该技术可制备对烙印分子具有“预定”识别能力的高分子聚合物,即分子烙印聚合物（MIP）,从而可以对性质和组成相近的组如对映体等进行分离^[1,2],咖啡因与茶碱的分子烙印聚合物的制备以及二者分析已有报道^[3-9],但存在两种完全相反的结论。一种观点认为,即使以咖啡因为烙印分子,所制备的聚合物对咖啡因分子的选择性吸附能力也小于茶碱^[3-6]。而另一种观点则认为,在一定条件下,如以咖啡因分子为烙印分子的烙印聚合物对咖啡因分子具有更强的吸附能力^[7-9]。本文分别采用茶碱和咖啡因作为烙印分子,以甲基丙烯酸等为功能单体,在不同条件下制备了多种非共价型分子烙印聚合物,并系统地考察了其作 为HPLC固定相对咖啡因和茶碱的分离能力,同时也对烙印分子应具备的条件加以探讨。     

An RNA aptamer-based electrochemical biosensor for detection of theophylline in serum

An electrochemical RNA aptamer-based biosensor for rapid and label-free detection of the bronchodilator theophylline was developed. The 5'-disulfide-functionalized end of the RNA aptamer sequence was immobilized on a gold electrode, and the 3'-amino-functionalized end was conjugated with a ferrocene (Fc) redox probe. Upon binding of theophylline the aptamer switches conformation from an open unfolded state to a closed hairpin-type conformation, resulting in the increased electron-transfer efficiency between Fc and the electrode. The electrochemical response, which was measured by differential pulse voltammetry, reaches saturation within a few minutes after addition of theophylline, and the dynamic range for detecting theophylline is 0.2-10 muM. The electrode displays an inhibited response when applied directly in serum samples treated with RNase inhibitors; however a full response to the theophylline serum concentration was obtained by transferring the electrode to blank serum-free buffer solutions. It was demonstrated that theophylline is detected with high selectivity in the presence of caffeine and theobromine.     

Poly(aquachlorobis(1,10–phenanthroline)copper(II)iodidemonohydrate)/GCE for simultaneous determination of caffeine and theophylline in human serum,tea, and tablet samples

This paper presents metal complex based polymer film modified electrode for simultaneous determination of caffeine, and theophylline. Potentiodynamic fabrication of poly(aquachlorobis(1,10– phenanthroline)copper(II)iodidemonohydrate) modified glassy carbon electrode (poly(ACP₂CuIH)/GCE) was verified using cyclic voltammetric and electrochemical impedance spectroscopic techniques. In contrast to the unmodified glassy carbon electrode, the poly(ACP₂CuIH)/GCE in equi-molar mixture of theophylline and caffeine revealed sufficiently separated oxidative peaks with much enhanced peak current showing electrocatalytic property of the polymer film towards the oxidation of theophylline and caffeine. Under optimized solution pH and square wave voltammetric parameters, oxidative peak current response of poly(ACP₂CuIH)/GCE showed linear dependence on the concentration of caffeine and theophylline in the concentration range 1.0–200.0 µM with limit of detection 8.92 × 10^-3 µM for theophylline, and 1.02 × 10^{-2 µ}M for caffeine. Spike recovery in the range 97.0-102.4% for theophylline, and 95.4-100.0% for caffeine, interference recovery in the range 96.0–101.0% for theophylline, and 95.7–104.3% for caffeine, agreement of the detected amounts of theophylline and caffeine in tablet samples with the nominal values, and stability of the modified electrode all validated the developed method for simultaneous determination of theophylline and caffeine in wide range of real samples. The method was applied for simultaneous determination of both theophylline and caffeine in three tea brands (Black lion, Addis, and Wush wush), pharmaceutical tablet brands (Panadol extra, and Theodrine), and human blood serum samples making the method an excellent candidate.

The kinetics of tritium-hydrogen exchange between xanthine,theophylline,caffeine and water

Isotopic hydrogen exchange at C-8 of xanthine, theophylline and caffeine in water has been studied at several temperatures and constant pH. The rates of detritiation of these compounds have been determined over a pH range at constant temperature. The rate-pH profiles for theophylline and caffeine are interpreted in terms of rate determining attack by hydroxide ion on protonated substrate. For caffeine and xanthine at high pH an additional mechanism involving hydroxide catalysed exchange of the neutral compound is suggested.

Caffeine and theobromine in coffee, tea and cola-beverages

Summary A new method based on reversed-phase ion-interaction HPLC is described for the identification and quantitation of theobromine, theophylline and caffeine in beverages. The interaction reagent used is octylamine orto-phosphate which also constitutes the mobile phase. The stationary phase is a microparticulate reversed-phase C-18 packing. With spectrophotometric detection at 274 nm, detection levels of 0.15, 0.30 and 0.40 ppm were achieved for theobromine, theophylline and caffeine, respectively.Quantitative analysis was performed by the standard addition method for theobromine and caffeine contents in tea, espresso-coffee, decaffeinated coffee, decaffeinated tea and cola-beverages.     

Simultaneous determination of theophylline and caffeine by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy using partial least squares regression techniques.

A 1H-NMR procedure based on an analysis of its data by a multivariate calibration method was conducted for the simultaneous determination of theophylline and caffeine in synthetic and real samples. Partial least squares regression (PLS) was chosen as the calibration method. The methyl signals of theophilline at 3.36 and 3.54 ppm that overlapped with those of caffeine were significant characteristics which were employed in this study for their analyses. The proposed method was successfully applied to recovery studies of theophylline and caffeine from real tablet samples.     

Multivariate optimisation of the experimental conditions for determination of three methylxanthines by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography

Caffeine (1,3,7-trimethylxanthine), theobromine (3,7-dimethylxanthine) and theophylline (1,3-dimethylxanthine) are the most important naturally occurring methylxanthines. Caffeine is a constituent of coffee and other beverage and included in many medicines. Theobromine and theophylline are formed as metabolites of caffeine in humans, and are also present in tea, cocoa and chocolate products.

In order to improve the chromatographic resolution (R_s) with a good analysis time, experimental designs were applied for multivariate optimisation of the experimental conditions of an isocratic reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (RP-HPLC) method used for the simultaneous determination of caffeine, theobromine and theophylline. The optimisation process was carried out in two steps using full three-level factorial designs. The factors optimised were: flow rate and mobile phase composition. Optimal conditions for the separation of the three methylxanthines were obtained using a mixture of water/ethanol/acetic acid (75:24:1%, v/v/v) as mobile phase and a flow rate of 1.0 mL min⁻¹. The RP-HPLC/UV method was validated in terms of limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantitation (LOQ), linearity, recovery and the precision, calculated as relative standard deviation (R.S.D.). In these conditions, the LOD was 0.10 μg L⁻¹ for caffeine, 0.07 μg L⁻¹ for theobromine and 0.06 μg L⁻¹ for theophylline. The proposed method is fast, requires no extraction step or derivatization and was suitable for quantification of these methylxanthines in coffee, tea and human urine samples.     

Determination of substituted purines in body fluids by micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography with direct sample injection.

Many substituted purines (theobromine, caffeine, paraxanthine, theophylline and uric acid, as well as other methylated xanthines and uric acids) can easily be separated and analysed in one run using micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography with a boratephosphate buffer containing 75 mM sodium dodecyl sulphate (pH approximately 9). Serum, saliva and urine samples collected after the self-administration of caffeine and serum samples from patients receiving theophylline or caffeine pharmacotherapy were screened for substituted purines. The data presented show the ease of using on-column multi-wavelength detection for investigating the feasibility of direct sample application, the characterization of sample pretreatment procedures and peak confirmation by comparing absorption spectra. It is shown that the determination of purines in serum and saliva samples, including therapeutic concentrations of caffeine and theophylline, can be accomplished without any sample pretreatment, whereas sample extraction is required for the determination of purines in urine. Quantitative data for the determination of micromolar amounts of theophylline (samples from adult patients) and caffeine (samples from infants born prematurely) in serum samples compared well with data obtained by non-isotopic immunoassays. Micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography with the direct injection of serum or saliva samples requires only microlitre volumes of sample and several different compounds can be determined within a few minutes.

High-Performance Liquid Chromatographic Analysis of Theophylline in the Presence of Caffeine in Blood Serum and Pharmaceutical Formulations

Abstract

A reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method has been established for the separation and quantitative determination of the alkaloid theophylline in the presence of caffeine -internal standard- in blood serum and in pharmaceutical preparations. The separation was performed on Spherisorb-5 RP-18 5μm reversed phase column using methanol: 0.038 M ammonium acetate: acetonitrile (38: 57:5) at a pH of about 7.20. The eluted alkaloids are detected at 272 nm. The retention time is 3.09 min for theophylline and 3.85 min for caffeine. The correlation of the integrated peak area with the concentration of theophylline showed a linear relationship between 0.05 to 5.0 theophylline in blood serum, tablets, sprinkels, syrups, suppositories and injectable solutions.     

Non‐enzymatic Electrochemical Sensor for the Simultaneous Determination of Xanthine,its Methyl Derivatives Theophylline and Caffeine as well as its Metabolite Uric Acid

Xanthine and its methyl derivatives, theophylline and caffeine are purines which find important roles in biological systems. The simultaneous voltammetric behaviour of these purines has been studied on a glassy carbon electrode modified with an electropolymerised film of para amino benzene sulfonic acid. Well defined and well separated peaks were obtained for the oxidation of xanthine, theophylline and caffeine on the polymer modified electrode in the square wave mode. The experimental requirements to obtain the best results for individual as well as simultaneous determination were optimised. The signal for the electro‐oxidation was found to be free of interferences from each other in the range 0.9 – 100 μM in the case of xanthine and from 10–100 μM in the case of theophylline and caffeine with detection limits 0.35 μM, 7.02 μM and 11.95 μM respectively. The simultaneous determination of uric acid, the final metabolic product of xanthine oxidation in biological systems could also be accomplished along with xanthine, theophylline and caffeine atphysiological pH. The mechanistic aspects of the electro‐oxidation on the polymer modified electrode was also studied using linear sweep voltammetry. Chronoamperometry was employed to determine the diffusion coefficient of these xanthines. The developed sensor has been successfully demonstrated to be suitable for the determination of these compounds in real samples without much pre‐treatment.
