Plasma level monitoring of D,L-verapamil and three of its metabolites by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography.

A high-performance liquid chromatographic assay was developed for determination of verapamil, norverapamil (M1) and its N-dealkylated metabolites (M2 and M3) in plasma. Plasma samples were vortex-mixed, deproteinized and centrifuged. The analysis was performed on a C18 reversed-phase column with fluorimetric detection. Since the polarity of verapamil and norverapamil differs considerably from that of M2 and M3, two different eluents were used for rapid high-performance liquid chromatographic separation. The eluent for the separation of verapamil and norverapamil was acetonitrile-0.07% orthophosphoric acid (33:67, v/v), and for M2 and M3 acetonitrile-0.07% orthophosphoric acid (25:75, v/v). The high-performance liquid chromatographic assay allowed rapid, sensitive and reliable quantitation of verapamil and three of its metabolites in plasma without an extraction procedure. The limit of detection was less than 5 ng/ml (plasma) for all compounds. No interferences with other commonly co-administered drugs was observed. Plasma concentrations of verapamil and its metabolites were determined in 21 patients receiving a continuous infusion of verapamil for tachyarrhythmia of acute onset. The steady-state plasma concentration data of verapamil and its three main metabolites in these patients gave evidence that the plasma concentration of verapamil and its active metabolite norverapamil was primarily determined by the extent of the formation of M2.

Simple high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of tolbutamide and its metabolites in human plasma and urine using photodiode-array detection

A high-performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the determination of tolbutamide and its metabolites in human plasma and urine. The compounds examined were extracted with diethyl ether from the acidified biological fluid. Chlorpropamide was used as internal standard, and 235 nm was chosen as the wavelength for diode-array detection. A study of the relationship between the capacity factor and the mobile phase composition and pH showed that acetonitrile-2-propanol-0.1% orthophosphoric acid (17: 17: 66, v/v) was the best eluent on a C8 reversed-phase column. The method is precise, sensitive and suitable for pharmacological investigations.     

Application of liquid chromatography to the simultaneous determination of acetylsalicylic acid, caffeine, codeine, paracetamol, pyridoxine, and thiamine in pharmaceutical preparations.

This paper describes a rapid reversed-phase liquid chromatographic method, with UV detection, for the simultaneous determination of acetylsalicylic acid, caffeine, codeine, paracetamol, pyridoxine, and thiamine in pharmaceutical preparations. A reversed-phase C18 Nucleosil column is used. The mobile phase consists of 2 successive eluants: water (5 min) and acetonitrile-water (75 + 25, v/v; 9 min), both adjusted to pH 2.1 with phosphoric acid. Before determination acetylsalicylic acid is completely converted to salicylic acid by alkaline hydrolysis. Salicylic acid, caffeine, paracetamol, pyridoxine, and thiamine are all detected at 285 nm, whereas codeine is detected at 240 nm. Calibration curves were linear for salicylic acid, caffeine, paracetamol, and pyridoxine in the range of 50-500 mg/L, and for codeine and thiamine in the range of 50-1000 mg/L. The method was applied to the analysis of 13 fortified commercial pharmaceutical preparations. Recoveries ranged from 92.6 to 105.5%, with relative standard deviations of 1.1-5.8%.     

Measurement of epidoxorubicin and its metabolites by high-performance liquid chromatography using an advanced automated sample processor.

A sensitive and rapid method for measuring epidoxorubicin and its six metabolites by high-performance liquid chromatography using an advanced automated sample processor is described. Plasma samples (1 ml) were extracted using C2 cassettes, and reversed-phase chromatography was performed with an Apex II ODS column. The isocratic mobile phase of acetonitrile-0.019 M NaH2PO4 (pH 4.0) had a flow-rate of 1 ml/min and the fluorescence detector an excitation wavelength of 480 nm with an emission at 580 nm. Linear calibration curves were obtained which were reproducible both within-day and day-to-day (coefficients of variation less than 10%). The extraction efficacy of epidoxorubicin was 88% and ranged from 51 to 88% for the metabolites. This method has been successfully applied to measure the plasma levels of these compounds in patients receiving epidoxorubicin over a wide dose range (12-120 mg/m2) and in patients with disturbed liver biochemistry.     

Development of an Ion-Pairing Liquid Chromatography Method for the Determination of Phenoxyacetic Herbicides and Their Main Metabolites: Application to the Analysis of Soil Samples

A modified ion-pairing liquid chromatography method is developed for the analysis of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid (MCPA) and their phenolic metabolites in water and soil samples. The separation and determination of all compounds of interest can be performed with a mobile phase containing 30% acetonitrile and 10 mM tetrabutylammonium hydroxide as the ion-pairing reagent. Separation of the two phenoxyacids is strongly affected by the pH of the mobile phase, which has to be buffered to pH 7.2 with phosphoric acid. The increase in the hydrophobicity of the sample solvent results in wider peaks for the two phenoxyacids, which reduces the resolution in their separation. The evaluation of different methanol:water solvent mixtures shows that no baseline separation for the two phenoxyacids is obtained when the methanol content in the mixture is higher than 60%.     

High-performance liquid chromatographic determination of dimethylxanthine metabolites of caffeine in human plasma

A normal-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic assay of caffeine and its metabolites, theophylline, theobromine and paraxanthine, in human plasma is described. The two internal standards ethyltheophylline and 1,3,7-trimethyluric acid are used simultaneously and cover the range of different polarities from caffeine to the three dimethylxanthines. Plasma (0.5 ml) in the presence of ammonium sulphate is extracted with chloroform--isopropanol (1:1, v/v). The extract is chromatographed with a LiChrosorb Si 60 5-micron column and a mobile phase of dichloromethane containing 2.5% of a formate buffer in methanol. Calibration is performed with six different calibration mixtures which take into account the large plasma concentration differences between caffeine and its metabolites in man. The method is suitable for the simultaneous determination of caffeine and its dimethylxanthine metabolites in plasma of healthy and diseased persons.     

Simultaneous determination of the urinary metabolites of benzene, toluene, xylene and styrene using high-performance liquid chromatography/hybrid quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry

A simple and rapid method using reversed-phase liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) for the simultaneous determination of the urinary metabolites of benzene, toluene, xylene and styrene in human urine specimens and standard solutions is described. A hybrid quadrupole/time-of-flight (QqTOF) mass spectrometer was compared for the determination of metabolite of aromatic solvents in urine samples. The metabolites selected were: trans,trans-muconic acid, hippuric acid, o-, m- and p-methylhippuric acid and phenylglyoxylic acid. The compounds were well separated from each other on narrow-bore 1-mm i.d. reversed-phase LC C-18 columns. Average recoveries for loading 100 microL of urine samples varied from 88-110% and the quantification limits were less than 30 ng/mL for each analyte (3 ng/mL for trans,trans-muconic acid). The qualitative information obtained (mass accuracy, resolution and full-scan spectra) with the QqTOF mass spectrometer allows a secure identification of analytes in biological matrices.     

Simultaneous determination of six phenolic constituents of Danshen injection in rat plasma by LC-ESI-MS and its application to a pharmacokinetic study

Salvianolic acid A, salvianolic acid B, danshensu, protocatechuic aldehyde, rosmarinic acid and lithospermic acid are the six major active constituents in Danshen injection. In this study, a rapid, sensitive and specific liquid chromatographic-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry method for the simultaneous quantitative determination of these compounds in rat plasma was developed. After a single step of liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl acetate, they were eluted by a Hypersil C18 column (5 μm, i.d. 4.6 × 200 mm) within 4 min with a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid water solution (35:65, v/v). The assay was linear in the concentration range of 0.05-10 μg mL(-1). Absolute recoveries were above 60%. The precisions and accuracies determined within three consecutive days were within acceptable limits. The method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study in rats after an intravenous administration of Danshen injection.     

Simultaneous determination of L-693,612, a topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, and two potential metabolites in human whole blood by ion-pair high-performance liquid chromatography

A method for the simultaneous determination of a topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, L-693,612, and two of its potential metabolites in human whole blood is described. The analytes are isolated from the matrix via liquid-liquid extraction with a mixture of toluene, ethyl acetate and isopropanol (49:50:1, v/v/v). The analytes are then back extracted into dilute phosphoric acid prior to injection into the HPLC system. A cyano column (Zorbax SB-CN, 150 × 4.6 mm) with a mobile phase of phosphoric acid(0.085%)-acetonitrile (73.5:26.5) containing 10 mM sodium decane sulfonate and adjusted to pH 3 is used for the analysis. Detection is based on UV absorbance at 252 nm. The assay was found to be linear in the concentration range of 5–500 ng/ml for each analyte when 1-ml aliquots of whole blood were extracted.

A novel procedure for the determination of tricyclic antidepressants in plasma by use of high performance liquid chromatography.

A novel method for the determination of the antidepressant 3-(1-chloro-5-H-dibenzo [a,d] cycloheptene-5-ylidene)-N,N-dimethylpropylamine-N-oxide hydrochloride and its metabolites by use of high performance liquid chromatography was developed. The procedure is applicable to the assay of other similar drugs in biological samples. The method involves extraction of the unchanged drug and its metabolites from plasma, back-extraction into diluted phosphoric acid and re-extraction into an organic phase. Separation is performed on a silica gel column with an acidic mobile phase, containing sodium dodecyl sulfate as ion-pairing agent. The quantitation is carried out by UV detection. The procedure allows the determination of plasma levels down to about 5 ng/ml of the unchanged drug and its metabolites, respectively, when 1 ml of plasma is used. The plasma levels of two volunteers were determined after a single oral dose of the drug.     

Sensitive liquid chromatographic-tandem mass spectrometric method for the determination of fluoxetine and its primary active metabolite norfluoxetine in human plasma

A sensitive method for the simultaneous determination of fluoxetine and its major active metabolite norfluoxetine in plasma was developed, using high-performance liquid chromatographic separation with tandem mass spectrometric detection. The samples were extracted from alkalised plasma with hexane-isoamyl alcohol (98:2, v/v) followed by back-extraction into formic acid (2%). Chromatography was performed on a Phenomenex Luna C18 (2) 5 microm, 150x2 mm column with a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile-0.02% formic acid (340:660, v/v) at a flow-rate of 0.35 ml/min. Detection was achieved by a Perkin-Elmer Sciex API 2000 mass spectrometer (LC-MS-MS) set at unit resolution in the multiple reaction monitoring mode. TurbolonSpray ionisation was used for ion production. The mean recoveries for fluoxetine and norfluoxetine were 98 and 97%, respectively, with a lower limit of quantification set at 0.15 ng/ml for the analyte and its metabolite. This assay method makes use of the increased sensitivity and selectivity of mass spectrometric (MS-MS) detection to allow for a more rapid (extraction and chromatography) and sensitive method for the simultaneous determination of fluoxetine and norfluoxetine in human plasma than has previously been described.

Simultaneous determination of palladium, platinum and rhodium by on-line column enrichment and HPLC with 5-(2,4-dihydroxyphenylazo)-rhodanine as pre-column derivatization reagent

In this paper, a new method for the simultaneous determination of palladium, platinum and rhodium ions was developed using a rapid column high performance liquid chromatography equipped with on-line enrichment technique. The palladium, platinum and rhodium ions were pre-column derivatized with DHAR to form colored chelates. The Pb-DHAR, Pt-DHAR and Rh-DHAR chelates could be absorbed onto the front of the enrichment column when they were injected into the injector and sent to the enrichment column [ZORBAX Stable Bound, 4.6 x 10 mm, 1.8 microm] with a 0.05 mol L(-1) of phosphoric acid solution as mobile phase. After enrichment, and by switching the six ports switching valve, the retained chelates were back-flushed by mobile phase and traveling towards the analytical column. The separation of these chelates on the analytical column [ZORBAX Stable Bound, 4.6 x 50 mm, 1.8 microm] was satisfactory with 54% acetonitrile (containing 0.05 mol L(-1) of phosphoric acid and 0.1% of tritonX-100) as mobile phase. Palladium, platinum and rhodium were separated completely within 2 min. By on-line enrichment technique, the enrichment factor of 100 was achieved, and the detection limits (S/N = 3) of palladium, platinum and rhodium reaches 1.4 ng L(-1), 1.6 ng L(-1) and 2.0 ng L(-1), respectively. This method was applied to the determination of palladium, platinum and rhodium in water, urine and soil samples with good results.
