LC-MS/MS Determination of 21 Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Residues in Animal Milk and Muscles

The presented procedure combines experience from two LC-MS/MS methods previously developed by our team for NSAIDs determination in meat and milk. The novelty was a modification of sample preparation and combining LC-MS/MS method for milk and muscle. The clean-up procedure was investigated, leading to a change from SPE to dSPE with C18 bulk sorbent. Unlike most of the existing methods, chromatographic separation was achieved on a C8 chromatographic column. This method was developed and validated under European Commission Decision 2002/657/EC. Recovery for milk samples values between 86.3% to 108%, with the coefficient of variation, varied from 5.51% to 16.2%. The recovery for muscle was calculated to be between 85.0% and 109%, and the coefficient of variation was—4.73% to 16.6%. The validation results prove that the method is suitable for confirmatory purposes in milk and muscle. Of 452 samples tested in 2019 and 2020, two have been identified as non-compliant.     

Separation of Vitamins Retinol Acetate,Ergocalciferol, or Cholecalciferol and Tocopherol Acetate Using Sequential Injection Chromatography

A novel simple method for separation of vitamins A-acetate (all-trans retinol acetate), D₂ (ergocalciferol), or D₃ (cholecalciferol) and E-acetate (tocopherol acetate) using short monolithic column in the sequential injection chromatography system is described. Separation was carried out using FIAlab® 3000 system under following conditions: Onyx? Monolithic C18 column (25 × 4.6 mm), mobile phase acetonitrile:methanol:H₂O 20:20:1 (v/v/v)), flow rate 0.9 mL min^?1, detection at 265 nm (D), 290 nm (E), and 325 nm (A). The method was validated with respect to peak asymmetry, resolution, number of theoretical plates, repeatability, linearity, precision, and accuracy. Analysis time was 5.5 min.     

Lab-In-Syringe with Bead Injection Coupled Online to High-Performance Liquid Chromatography as Versatile Tool for Determination of Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs in Surface Waters

We report on the hyphenation of the modern flow techniques Lab-In-Syringe and Lab-On-Valve for automated sample preparation coupled online with high-performance liquid chromatography. Adopting the bead injection concept on the Lab-On-Valve platform, the on-demand, renewable, solid-phase extraction of five nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, namely ketoprofen, naproxen, flurbiprofen, diclofenac, and ibuprofen, was carried out as a proof-of-concept. In-syringe mixing of the sample with buffer and standards allowed straightforward pre-load sample modification for the preconcentration of large sample volumes. Packing of ca. 4.4 mg microSPE columns from Oasis HLB^® sorbent slurry was performed for each sample analysis using a simple microcolumn adapted to the Lab-On-Valve manifold to achieve low backpressure during loading. Eluted analytes were injected into online coupled HPLC with subsequent separation on a Symmetry C18 column in isocratic mode. The optimized method was highly reproducible, with RSD values of 3.2% to 7.6% on 20 µg L⁻¹ level. Linearity was confirmed up to 200 µg L⁻¹ and LOD values were between 0.06 and 1.98 µg L⁻¹. Recovery factors between 91 and 109% were obtained in the analysis of spiked surface water samples.     

NMR Investigation of the Interaction of Three Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs with Human Serum Albumin

The understanding of the interaction between non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and human serum albumin plays a fundamental role in the development of new drugs and new therapeutic strategies. Several studies have been performed, nevertheless, the interaction phenomena are still not fully understood. In this work, high-field solution Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was applied to compare the strength of the interaction of diclofenac sodium salt, ketorolac tris salt and flurbiprofen sodium salt toward albumin. To this aim, mono- and bi-selective relaxation rate measurements were performed by applying selective π-pulses at the selected frequencies and by following magnetization recovery. On the basis of the dependence of relaxation parameters on albumin concentration, normalized affinity indexes were calculated for several protons of the drugs. Affinity indexes for diclofenac were about five-fold higher in comparison with ketorolac and flurbiprofen. Aromatic moieties of the three drugs and methine protons at the chiral centers of ketorolac and flurbiprofen were more involved in the interaction with albumin. In conclusion, NMR spectroscopy allows not only for the comparison of drug-to-protein affinities but also points out the nature of the drug sites that are more extensively involved in the interaction.

Automated Determination of Captopril by Flow and Sequential Injection Analysis: A Review

The present study intends to present a review of automated methods for the determination of Captopril—an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor—using flow or sequential injection analysis. The review covers a range of more than fifteen years of published research on this topic (1993–today). The methods are classified according to the detection systems in three categories, namely spectrophotometric, chemiluminescence, and electroanalytical. The principles and main analytical figures of merit of the reported studies are presented and discussed.     

Generic Automated Fluorimetric Assay for the Quality Control of Gamma Aminobutyric Acid-Analogue Anti-Epileptic Drugs Using Sequential Injection

The first sequential injection assay for the generic determination of gabapentin and pregabalin is reported. The analytes react with o-phthalaldehyde in the presence of N-acetylcysteine as a nucleophilic reagent in alkaline medium under flow conditions to form highly fluorescent derivatives. The effect of the main instrumental and chemical variables on the assay was examined. The proposed method was validated for both analytes in terms of linearity, detection, and quantitation limits (c _L  = 160 μg L^?1, c _Q  = 480 μg L^?1 for gabapentin, and c _L  = 70 μg L^?1, c _Q  = 210 μg L^?1 for pregabalin), precision (s _r  < 1.0% in both cases), selectivity, and accuracy. The applicability of the assay was demonstrated by successfully analyzing commercially available formulations. The experimental percent recoveries were in the range of 97.9–102.0% for gabapentin and 98.3–102.3% for pregabalin.

Photometric Determination of Iron in Pharmaceutical Formulations Using Double-Beam Direct Injection Flow Detector

In this work, an innovative, flow-through, double-beam, photometric detector with direct injection of the reagents (double-DID) was used for the first time for the determination of iron in pharmaceuticals. For stable measurement of the absorbance, double paired emission-detection LED diodes and a log ratio precision amplifier have been applied. The detector was integrated with the system of solenoid micro-pumps. The micro-pumps helped to reduce the number of reagents used and are responsible for precise solution dispensing and propelling. The flow system is characterized by a high level of automation. The total iron was determined as a Fe(II) with photometric detection using 1,10-phenanthroline as a complexing agent. The optimum conditions of the propose analytical procedure were established and the method was validated. The calibration graph was linear in the range of 1 to 30 mg L⁻¹. The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.5 mg L⁻¹. The throughput of the method was 90 samples/hour. The repeatability of the method expressed as the relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) was 2% (n = 10). The method was characterized by very low consumption of reagents and samples (20 μL each) and a small amount of waste produced (about 540 µL per analysis). The proposed flow method was successfully applied for determination of iron in pharmaceutical products. The results were in good agreement with those obtained using the manual UV-Vis spectrophotometry and with values claimed by the manufacturers. The flow system worked very stably and was insensitive to bubbles appearing in the system.     

Improving the Detectability of Sequential Injection Chromatography (SIC): Determination of Triazines by Exploiting Liquid Core Waveguide (LCW) Detection

Coupling a liquid core waveguide cell to a sequential injection chromatograph improved the detection limits for determination of triazine herbicides without compromising peak resolution. Separation of simazine, atrazine, and propazine was achieved in water samples by a 25 mm long C₁₈ monolithic column. Detection was made at 238 nm using a type II LCW (silica capillary coated with Teflon® AF2400) cell with 100 cm of optical path length. Detection limits for simazine, atrazine, and propazine were 2.3, 1.9, and 4.5 µg L^?1, respectively. Reduced analysis time and low solvent consumption are other remarkable features of the proposed method.

Development of a Sequential Injection Analysis Device for the Determination of Total Polyphenol Index in Wine

A sequential injection analysis method is developed for the determination of the total polyphenol index in wines. The determination is based on the Folin-Ciocalteu reaction, which is monitored spectrophotometrically. Interactions between experimental variables and their optimal levels were investigated using factorial designs. The proposed system is fully computerised and is able to monitor polyphenol index in real samples of white, sweet and red wines. The calibration graph is linear from 5 to 200mg·L^–1 using Tannic acid as standard, with a detection limit of 3.2mg·L^–1. Interferences are studied. For validation purposes the proposed methodology was applied to the determination of the total polyphenol index in different types of wines and compared with earlier alternatives in order to assess their performance.     

Determination of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs in Natural Waters Using Off-Line and On-Line SPE Followed by LC Coupled with DAD-MS

Two different procedures for simultaneous determination of six NSAIDs (diflunisal, diclofenac, fenoprofen, ibuprofen, naproxen and tolmetin) in environmental waters are described. Final analysis of target compounds is performed by reversed-phase liquid chromatography – diode array detection and mass spectrometry (HPLC-DAD and LC-MS), whereas sample preparation is based on solid-phase extraction (SPE). A variety of sorbents and their respective advantages and disadvantages are discussed. For the off-line SPE of NSAIDs from water samples, a LiChrolut RP-18 was selected out of all investigated sorbents. In case of on-line coupling of SPE with chromatographic system LiChrosphere RP-18 was selected as the best one in terms of recovery of NSAIDs evaluated, RSD and availability. The applicability of the method was also evaluated. Method detection limits were in the range of 0.7−94 ng L⁻¹. Recoveries ranged from 96 to 109% and relative standard deviations were lower than 5%. The procedures were shown to be linear over a wide range of concentration, exhibited satisfactory repeatability and accuracy, and reached limits of detection in the low ng L⁻¹ range. No breakthrough volume was observed neither for off-line SPE (in the studied range of 100, 200, 300, 500, 700, 1000 and 2000 mL of tap water sample) nor for on-line SPE (in the wide range of 10 mL, 20 mL, 30 mL, 50 mL, 70 mL, 100 mL and 200 mL of tap water sample).

Flow and Sequential Injection Manifolds for the Spectrophotometric Determination of Captopril Based on its Oxidation by Fe(III)

 Two new simple and rapid methods are reported for the accurate and precise spectrophotometric determination of captopril (CPL) using flow (FI) and sequential injection (SI) analysis. The methods are based on the fast oxidation of CPL by Fe(III). The produced Fe(II) reacts with 2,2′-dipyridyl-2-pyridylhydrazone (DPPH) in acidic medium to form a colored complex which is monitored spectrophotometrically at 535 nm. Both methods allow the determination of the analyte up to 1000 mg L⁻¹ at a sampling rate of 120 and 60 injections per hour for FI and SI, respectively. The methods are very precise [s _r=0.8 and 1.2% at 500 mg L⁻¹ CPL (n=12) for FI and SI, respectively] and the 3σ detection limits (c _L=4.0 and 7.0 mg L¹, respectively) are quite satisfactory. Their application to a variety of anti-hypertensive commercial pharmaceutical formulations showed excellent results (relative errors, e _r, < ± 1.6% in all cases compared to an official HPLC method), while common pharmaceutical excipients were found not to interfere. Recovery experiments further verified the accuracy of the developed methods, as the percent recoveries were in the range of 98.1–102.5%. Author for correspondence.

Flow Injection Spectrophotometric Determination of Dipyrone in Pharmaceutical Formulations Using Fe(III) as Reagent

A flow injection spectrophotometric procedure with symmetric merging zones for dipyrone determination in pharmaceutical formulations is proposed. The determination is based on the formation of a blue complex (monitored at a wavelength of 642 nm) yield in the complexation reaction of dipyrone with Fe(III) in acid medium. Under optimum conditions, a calibration curve was obtained from 3.5 to 281 mg L^?1 with a detection limit of 2.8 mg L^?1 and the samples throughput was 80 h^?1. The analytical results obtained for commercial formulation samples by applying the proposed method were in good agreement with labeled values and those obtained by a comparative procedure at a 95% confidence level.
