An Improved HPLC Method for the Determination of Furosemide in Plasma and Urine

Abstract

A sensitive HPLC method with minimal sample preparation and good reproducibility for the determination of furosemide in plasma and urine is described. Acidified plasma samples were extracted using CH₂Cl₂ containing desmethylnaproxen as internal standard (IS). Fresh urine samples were incubated with β-gluc-uronidase for 15 minutes and then treated with CH₃CN containing IS.

Chromatography was performed on a C18 column with 10 mcl sample injection, Mobile phases were: a) for plasma: 0.01 M NaH₂PO₄, pH 3.5 - CH₃OH (65:35), and b) for urine: acetic acid, pH 3.5 - CHS3OH (60:40) at 3 ml/min and fluorescence detection at Ex 235/Em 389 nm. The plasma standard curve was linear from 0.01 to 15.0 mcg/ml and the urine from 0.5 to 200.0 mcg/ml. The within run CV's were 3,2% at 0.74 mcg/ml plasma and 2.0% at 10.7 mcg/ml urine. Recovery from plasma was 69.9% at 2.0 mcg/ml and 98.6% from urine at 5.0 mcg/ml. The stability of furosemide and its glucuronide were studied. Both methods have been applied to the analysis of plasma and urine samples obtained from human volunteers.     

Determination of thiabendazole in foods and waters by solid-phase transmitted room-temperature phosphorescence

A new method for the determination of thiabendazole (TBZ) is proposed, based on enhanced native phosphorescence at room temperature when the pesticide is fixed on paper and using Pb (CH₃-COO)₂ as the enhancer. The sample and enhancer solutions were deposited on a slip of paper (Whatman No. 4), previously humidified with pH 4.0 acetic/acetate buffer solution, after which the paper was dried and placed between two quartz plates. The diffuse transmitted phosphorescence intensity was measured directly at _ex = 303 nm and _em = 472 nm. The applicable concentration range was 160.0–1200.0 ng/ml, with a relative standard deviation of 1.2%. The detection and quantification limits were 47.7 and 158.9 ng/ml, respectively. This simple method was used to measure the levels of this pesticide in potatoes, green beans, lettuce and different types of waters, showing good selectivity in all instances.     

Synthesis and reactivity of μ-η2-carbamato complexes of triosmium decacarbonyl

The synthesis of (-H)(-²-RRNCO₂)Os₃(CO)₁₀ (R=R=CH₃ 2a; R=R=CH₂CH₃,2b; R=CH₃, R=CH₂CH₃,2c) and their cyclic analogs (-H)(-²--CO₂)Os₃(CO)₁₀(n=42d,n=5,2e) from carbon dioxide, secondary amine, and Os₃(CO)₁₀(CH₃CN)₂ (1) are reported. A solid-state structure of2c reveals a bonding mode for the carbamato ligand very similar to that observed for related carboxylato complexes. Compound2c crystallizes in the orthorombic space group Pbca witha=9.136 (3),b=15.310 (4) andc=30.361 (5) Å;V=4247 ų,Z=8. Least-squares refinement of 2405 observed reflections gave a final agreement factor ofR=0.043 (R _w =0.043). The reactivity of the complexes2a–2e was examined. Compound2c or2b give good yields of the cluster derivatives (-H)(-X)Os₃(CO)₁₀ (X=Cl,3; X=OCH₃,4; X=N(CH₃)₂,7) when reacted with HX. Reaction of2a with P(CH₃)₃ at 68°C gives good yields of the otherwise difficult to obtain 1,1,2-(P(CH₃)₃)₃Os₃(CO)₉ (5). Evidence is presented that suggests that2a–2e form by oxidative addition of preformed carbamic acids to1.     

Organosilicon Amidophosphates and Their Eu and Er Complexes in Solutions and Films: Spectral and Luminescence Properties

Fluorescence and fluorescence excitation spectra of phosphorus-containing organosilicon ligands O = PX₂NHR (X = NMe₂, OPh; R = CH₂CH₂CH₂Si(Oet)₃ and their Eu(III) complexes in acetonitrile solutions and in films are studied. In UV region (285–420 nm), bis(dimethylamido)triethoxysilylpropylamidophosphate (X = NMe₂) and diphenyltriethoxysilylpropylamidophosphate (X = OPh) exhibit two emission bands, whose position and intensity depend on the nature of substituents at the phosphorus atom. The Eu complexes show the ligand and the cation luminescence. The emission bands of coordinated ligands are shifted to long-wave region. The cation luminescence appears as three or four bands due to f-f transitions from the excited ⁵ D ₀ level to the lower ⁷ F _1–4 levels. The most intense transition is ⁵ D ₀ → ⁷ F ₂. The emission band in a region of 420 nm appears in solutions and films prepared from both pure ligands and their Eu(III) complexes. This band is due to luminescence of spatially crosslinked nanoparticles of sesquioxane structure. The intensity ratio of the Eu³⁺ emission bands changes when going from solutions to films, the emission intensity increases in a range of 420 nm. Films containing incorporated Er complexes with amidophosphates show intense luminescence of a matrix at 430 nm and a series of weak narrow bands due to the Er³⁺ cation at 550–700 nm.__________Translated from Koordinatsionnaya Khimiya, Vol. 31, No. 7, 2005, pp. 550–558.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Semenov, Cherepennikova, Klapshina, B.

Dependence of ultrasonic velocity on structure in a homologous series of nonelectrolytes in aqueous medium

Ultrasonic velocities (u) have been measured for various concentrations (x), and (du/dx) _x=0 evaluated, in dilute aqueous solutions of nonelectrolytes which form solid clathrate structures of type II, or are members of a homologous series of alcohols, ketones or cyclic ethers. Changes in (du/dx) _x=0 in these classes of compounds were found to be correlated with changes in structure. Elongation of the hydrocarbon chain by addition of a CH₂ group is accompanied by an increase in (du/dx) _x=0 . Replacement of C?C by C=C, C?H by C?OH, CH₂) by ?O?, and CH?OH by C=O, lead to decreases in (du/dx) _x=0 . It is postulated that maximal values of (du/dx) _x=0 should be observed for hydrocarbons with only single C?C bonds.     

Die Verteilung des Borsäure-Brenzcatechin-Komplexes zwischen wäßrigen Lösungen und organischen Lösungsmitteln

An investigation of several factors involved showed that boric acid can be successfully extracted from weakly acidic aqueous solutions by CH₂Cl₂ as pyrocatechol-tetraphenylphosphonium complex. At concentrations of 4–100μg B/ml (0.2 M pyrocatechol; pH 4.6; CH₂Cl₂ with 1% [C₆H₅]₄PBr) the yield was 95–98%. At smaller concentrations (0.02–0.2 μg B/ml; 0.1 M pyrocatechol) 93–98% were extracted.     

Synthesis of Fullerene-Containing Sol-Gel Glasses

Macroscopically homogeneous and visually transparent fullerene-containing glasses are fabricated from sol-gel mixtures of aminated C₆₀ derivatives and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) through physical blending and chemical reaction. The aminated fullerenes are synthesized by the amination reactions of C₆₀ with 6-amino-1-hexanol, cyclohexylamine, 2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethanol, and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane at 100°C under nitrogen. The amination products are purified by filtration, precipitation, and column chromatography and are isolated in good to excellent yields (32–82%). Characterization by NMR, MS, and TGA analyses reveals that the aminated fullerenes possess molecular structures H _x C₆₀[NH(CH₂)₆OH] _x , H _x C₆₀(NH-cyclo-C₆H₁₁) _x , H _x C₆₀[NH(CH₂CH₂O)₂H] _x , and H _x C₆₀[NH(CH₂)₃Si(OCH₂CH₃)₃] _x . All the aminated fullerenes except 2 are completely soluble in aqueous alcoholic solutions of TEOS and can be incorporated into silica gel networks by sol-gel process in the absence or presence of drying-control chemical additives, giving crack-free monoliths of large sizes (up to 60 mm). Electronic absorption spectrum of the fullerene glass continuously red shifts with an increase in the C₆₀ content, suggesting the formation of fullerene nanoclusters in the sol-gel process. The fullerene glasses are thermally and optically stable, resisting continuous attack of strong laser pulses of 532 nm for a prolonged period of time without losing their optical limiting power.

The crystals of [(CH₂)₆N₄(C₃H₅)]Cu₂Cl₃ (I), [(CH₂)₆N₄(C₃H₅)]Cu₂Cl₃ (II), and [(CH₂)₆N₄(C₃H₅)]CuCl₂ (III) complexes were electrochemically synthesized (ac) from CuCl₂ · 2H₂O and N-allylhexamethylenetetraminium chloride in ethanol solutions at pH 6, 4.5, and 3. Their structures were determined using X-ray diffraction analysis (DARCh diffractometer, MoK radiation, /2 scan mode). Complex Icrystallizes in the monoclinic system: space group A2/a, a = 24.812(6) Å, b = 8.855(3) Å, c = 12.080(2) Å, = 89.21(3)°, and Z = 8. Complex II crystallizes in the triclinic system: space group P , a = 7.618(2) Å, b = 7.048(2) Å, c = 13.150(3) Å, = 97.50(2)°, = 92.70(2)°, = 100.74(2)°, and Z = 2. The crystals of complex III are orthorhombic: space group Pmn2₁, a = 7.478(2) Å, b = 8.827(2) Å, c = 9.662(3) Å, Z = 2. The organic cation in complex I acts as a tridentate ,,-ligand; that in complex II, as a bidentate ,-ligand. In complex III, the organic cation is involved in coordination with the copper(I) atom only through one nitrogen atom.

Synthesis of functional polyethylene <Emphasis Type="Italic">via</Emphasis> copolymerization of ethylene and substituted allene using bis(<Emphasis Type="Italic">β</Emphasis>-enaminoketonato)titanium catalysts

Novel copolymerization of ethylene with substituted allenes（CH₂=C = CH—R,1:R = n-butyl,2:R =n-octyl） using bis（β-enaminoketonato）titanium catalysts[PhN = C（R₂）CHC（R₁）O]₂TiCl₂（1a:R₁ = CF₃,R₂ = CH₃;1b:R₁ = Ph,R₂ = CF₃） has been investigated.In the presence of modified methylaluminoxane,these catalysts can copolymerize ethylene with substituted allenes,affording copolymers with unimodal molecular weight distributions and homogeneous compositions.By varying the reaction conditions,the comonomer incorporation can be tuned in the range of 0-3.6 mol%.¹H-NMR spectra reveal that the copolymerization proceeds through 1,2-insertion fashion of allene comonomer exclusively,and the regioselective nature maintains under various reaction conditions.The retained intra-chain double bond can be converted into the epoxy group under mild conditions.     

Photofragment translational spectroscopy at 304 nm from C-H symmetric stretch excited CH3I [v 1 = 1]

The 304 nm photodissociation of the C-H symmetric stretch excited CH3I[v1=1,v2=0](v1 denotes the C-H symmetric stretch mode,and v2 denotes the umbrella mode)is studied with our simple photofragment translational spectrometer.An IR laser is used to excite the ground state CH3I[0,0]to the C-H symmetric stretch excited CH3I[1,0].With IR laser OFF and ON,the fractions of photofragments CH3(ν1,ν2)from the 304 nm photodissociation of CH3I[1,0]have been determined through the photofragment translational spectra(PTS)from measuring I and I*and also through the PTS from measuring CH3(0,0)(1,0)(0,1)and(1,1).The experimental results show that the C-H symmetric stretch vibration(v1=1)in parent molecules is about 66%retained in the photofragments in the I channel,but only 24%in the I*channel.The populations of photofragments CH3(0,2)and(0,3)are higher than CH3(0,0)and(0,1),showing strong inverted population both in I and I*channels.

The photodissociation of ketene, CH₂CO(X?¹A₁) → CH₂ (ã¹A₁) + CO(X ¹Σ⁺) has been observed at 337 nm, using a pulsed nitrogen laser. The CH₂ (ã ¹A₁) radical has been detected by laser induced fluorescence with a tunable dye laser.

The radiative lifetime τ and the rate constant k for the removal of the 0₀₀ rotational level of the Σ(0, 14, 0) vibronic state have been measured directly. The values are τ = (4.2 ^± 0.2) μs and k = (7.4 ± 0.3) × 10^?10 cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1, respectively.

Compounds [Cu₂(CH₂FCOO)₄· 2CH₃CN](CH₃CN) (I) and Ag₃(CF₃COO)₃(CH₃CN)₂(II) were synthesized and studied by X-ray structural analysis. Crystals Iare monoclinic, space group C2/c, a= 27.854(6), b= 8.286(2), c= 19.428(4) Å, = 106.82(3)°, V= 4292(2) ų, Z= 8, R ₁= 0.0426; crystals IIare triclinic, space group , a= 8.676(2), b= 9.819(2), c= 11.961(2) Å, = 95.27(3), = 109.59(3)°, = 104.60(3)°, V= 911.4(3) ų, Z= 2, R ₁= 0.0252. Structure Iis composed of the structural units (lanterns) typical of copper(II) carboxylates. The presence of an additional acetonitrile molecule noncoordinated by the copper atoms makes it possible to consider compound Ias a lattice clathrate. Structure IIhas no analogs among the silver carboxylates. It simultaneously contains silver atoms with coordination numbers varying from 2 to 4.     

Synthesis of C-functionalized acetylacetone and its europium complex. Preparation and study of luminescence of europium-containing sol-gel films

New fuctionalized ligand 3-(3′-triethoxysilylpropylaminocarbonyl)pent-2-on-3-en-4-ol (EtO)₃SiCH₂·CH₂CH₂NHC(O)-C[C(O)CH₃][=C(OH)CH₃] (I) containing ketoenol and triethoxysilyl groups is synthesized from 3-triethoxysilylpropyl isocyanate (EtO)₃SiCH₂CH₂CH₂N=C=O and acetylacetone.

Conditions of formation of transparent europium-containing sol-gel films were developed. Thermal stability and photoluminescence of the films were investigated.

The coordination spheres of the metal atoms in these complexes involve simultaneously the ⁵-cyclopentadienyl (indenyl), bridging alkoxide, and terminal amide ligands. The complexes were characterized by microanalysis, IR and NMR spectroscopy, and magnetochemistry. The crystal and molecular structure of complex 3 was established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.     

Vibrational spectra and structure of “staircase” carbonyl π-complexes of transition metals

FTIR spectra have been studied for staircase cyclopentadienyl complexes containing two or three metal carbonyl fragments bound by the metal-carbon bond Cp(CO)₂Fe-CpmMn(CO)₃ (1), Cp(CO)₂Fe-CpmFe(CO)₂CH₂Ph (2), Cp(CO)₂Fe-Cpm(CO)₂Fe-CpmMn(CO)₃ (3), Cp(CO)₂Mo-Cpm(CO)₂Fe-CpmMn(CO)₃ (4), Cp(CO)₃W-Cpm(CO)₂Fe-CpmMn(CO)₃ (5), Cp(CO)₂Fe-Cpm(CO)₂Fe-BmCr(CO)₃ (6), Cr(CO)₃Bm-CpmFe(CO)₂CH₂Ph (7), where Cp = ₅-C₅H₅, Cpm = ¹⁵-C₅H₄, Bm = ¹⁶-C₆H₅. Temperature-dependent FTIR spectra were measured inn-pentane solutions over a wide temperature range and in the low-temperature solid matrices of argon and nitrogen. Rotamers, formed due to rotation about the metal-carbon -bond, were found in solutions and matrices. A molecular mechanics calculation of1 proved the possibility of such rotation.Translated fromIzyestiya Akademii Nauk.

“Instant Methylide” Modification of the Corey–Chaykovsky Epoxide Synthesis

Abstract

We report that Me₃S(O)⁺I^? (1) and Me₃S⁺I^? (2) form stable, dry mixtures with KOt-Bu and NaH, respectively, which remain stable upon prolonged storage (>1 year). The corresponding methylides (Me₂SO=CH₂ and Me₂S=CH₂) are generated upon addition of DMSO or DMSO/THF solutions of carbonyl compounds, cleanly affording epoxides via the Corey–Chaykovsky reaction in good yields and short reaction times (as short as 20 min when 1–2 mmol of various ketones and aldehydes were treated with a mixture of 1 and KOt-Bu at 50–60°C).
