A novel chemiluminescence (CL) sensor for the determination of amoxicillin was developed based on the CL reaction of amoxicillin with potassium permanganate in an acidic medium. The sensor displayed excellent selectivity and high sensitivity. The linear response range of the sensor was from 5.0 × 10^?9 to 1.0 × 10^?6 g · mL^?1 (r = 0.9985) and the detection limit was 1.3 × 10^?9 g · mL^?1. The relative standard deviation for the determination of 1.0 × 10^?7 g · mL^?1 amoxicillin solution was 1.7% (n = 11). The sensor was applied to the determination of amoxicillin in urine samples with satisfactory results.

Selective light-triggered chemiluminescence between fluorescent dyes and luminol, and its analytical application

We report herein a novel chemiluminescence (CL) phenomenon triggered by light irradiation when a fluorescent dye, for example hematoporphyrin, fluorescein, eosin, or methylene blue is present in the luminol solution. A possible mechanism is proposed for the photoinduced chemiluminescence (PICL) reaction. Compared with reported methods for CL triggering, for example flow-injection, static reagent injection, and the electrochemical technique, the proposed in-situ PICL method presented has three advantages. First, the method is more selective, because the PICL signal of the target fluorescent dyes is initiated by excitation at a selective wavelength only. Second, the space and time resolution of the PICL method are better. Last, and most important, compared with injecting a reagent or inserting a electrode into the CL system to initiate the CL reaction, with the in-situ PICL method there is no physical interference with the target detecting system. All these advantages of the PICL method indicate it has many potential applications in the analytical sciences. The proposed method was applied to analysis of urine containing adrenaline. The linear range for adrenaline is 2.0?×?10^?10–1.0?×?10^?7 g mL^?1 and the detection limit is 6.0?×?10^?11 g mL^?1.

Determination of Diammonium Glycyrrhizinate and Its Antioxidant Activity Using a Novel Chemiluminescence System

A novel chemiluminescence (CL) system was established for the determination of diammonium glycyrrhizinate (DG) in pharmaceutical preparations and its ability of scavenging hydroxyl radical. It was shown that a strong CL signal was observed when Eosin Y mixed with Fenton reagent. The CL intensity was decreased significantly when DG was added to the reaction system and partially scavenged the hydroxyl radicals in the solution. The extent of decrease in the CL intensity had a good stoichiometrical relationship with DG concentration. Based on this, we developed a new method for the determination of DG using a flow injection chemiluminescence (FI-CL) technique. Under the optimal conditions, the linear range of DG concentration was 6.0 × 10^?8–5.0 × 10^?6 mol/L (R = 0.9982) with a detection limit of 8.0 × 10^?9 mol/L (SN = 3), and the RSD was 3.8% for 2.0 × 10^?7 mol/L DG (n = 11). This method was successfully used in the determination of DG in tablets and the evaluation of hydroxyl radical scavenging capacity of DG. The possible reaction mechanism of the CL system is discussed.     

Post‐chemiluminescence Method of the Determination of Loperamide Hydrochloride in Human Plasma and Pharmaceutical by Using Dichlorofluorescein as Chemiluminescence Reagent

Abstract

A post‐chemiluminescence (PCL) was observed when loperamide hydrochloride solution was injected into the reaction mixture after the finish of CL reaction of alkaline N‐Chlorosuccinimide (NCS) and dichlorofluorescein. Based on this phenomenon, a simple, sensitive and fast flow injection PCL method was established for the determination of loperamide hydrochloride. The possible mechanism for the PCL reaction was discussed via the investigation of the CL kinetic characteristics, the CL spectra, the fluorescence spectra. The PCL intensity responded linearly to the concentration of loperamide hydrochloride in the range 8.0×10^?10 to 6.0×10^?7 g · ml^?1 with a linear correlation of 0.9995. The detection limit was 4×10^?10 g · ml^?1. The relative standard deviation was 2.4% for 4.0×10^?8 g · ml^?1 loperamide hydrochloride (n=11). This method has been applied to the determination of loperamide hydrochloride in human plasma and pharmaceutical samples with satisfactory results.     

Quantification of fenfluramine with a molecularly imprinted chemiluminescence sensor and sulfonophenylazo rhodanine

Fenfluramine-imprinted polymer was prepared by self assembly with acrylic amide as functional monomer and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as crosslinker. The binding characteristics of the imprinted polymer to fenfluramine were evaluated by equilibrium binding experiments and the morphology was studied by SEM. Taking the imprinted polymer as recognition material, using the new 3-p-nitrylphenyl-5-(4′-methyl-2′-sulfonophenylazo)rhodanine (M4NRASP) synthesized by the authors as chemiluminescence reagent, a new highly selective flow injection chemiluminescence sensor for trace fenfluramine with good sensitivity was established which utilized the chemiluminescence reaction between fenfluramine, M4NRASP, and potassium permanganate in hydrochloric acid. The traditional flow-through cell was replaced with a polymethyl methacrylate module, with Y-shaped flow path, through which the above three reactants were injected simultaneously. Under optimum conditions the relative chemiluminescence intensity shows a linear relationship with the concentration of fenfluramine over the range of 5×10^–7 to 8×10^–6 g/mL with a lower detection limit of 3.4×10^–8 g/mL. The relative standard deviation for the determination of 1.0×10^–6 g/mL fenfluramine solution was 2.4% (n = 11). This proposed sensor could be satisfactorily applied to the determination of fenfluramine in weight-reducing capsules.

A rapid and simple flow injection (FI) method is reported for the determination of vitamin A (retinol) based on its strong enhancing effect on the Ce(IV)–Na₂SO₃ chemiluminescence (CL) reaction in an acidic solution. The effect of key chemical and physical parameters (i.e., reagent concentrations, flow rate, and sample volume) was optimized and potential interferences examined. Under the selected experimental conditions, a linear calibration was obtained between the CL intensity and vitamin A concentration in the range 0.1–8.0 µg mL^?1 (r ²  = 0.9986, n = 8). The limit of detection (3 s x blank) was 0.01 µg mL^?1 retinol (n = 6) and the relative standard deviation (RSD) for 0.25 µg mL^?1 retinol was 2.3% (n = 10) with a sampling rate of 180 h^?1. The method was successfully applied to infant milk-based formulas and pharmaceutical formulations and the results were not significantly different at 95% confidence interval with those obtained by using a spectrophotometric reference method. The possible CL mechanism is also discussed briefly supporting with UV-visible, fluorescence, and CL spectra.

In vitro monitoring of picogram levels of risperidone in human urine via luminollysozyme flow injection chemiluminescence

The anti-schizophrenic drug risperidone (RSP) exerts an inhibitory effect on the chemiluminescence (CL) of the luminol-lysozyme system. This finding forms the basis for a sensitive flow injection method for its determination at picogram levels. RSP binds to Trp62 in the lysozyme, and this leads to a conformational change upon which the CL of the system is quenched. The decrease in CL is proportional to the logarithm of the concentration of RSP, and the calibration graph is linear in the range from 0.1 pg?mL^?1 to 1.0 ng?mL^?1, with relative standard deviations of <5.0%, and a detection limit of 0.05 pg?mL^?1 (3σ). At a flow rate of 2.0 mL?min^?1, the whole process including sampling and washing is completed within 20 s. The method was successfully applied to monitoring RSP in human urine after incorporation of 2 mg of RSP, with a total excretion of 16.6% within 8.5 h.
