Capillary zone electrophoresis determination of oxytetracycline in pig tissue samples at maximum residue limits

Summary The determination of the antibiotic oxytetracycline (OTC), in pig tissues was investigated by capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) with a prior solid-phase extraction (SPE) using alkyl-bonded silica and polymeric cartridges. The methodology developed allows determination of OTC in pig kidney, liver and muscle samples with detection limits below maximum residue limit values, and the procedures to extract OTC and clean-up the matrix are simple and reliable. The limit of detection for OTC was 160, 120 and 85 μg kg⁻¹ for kidney, liver and muscle samples, respectively. The average recoveries from spiked samples (200 μg kg⁻¹ and 1600 μg kg⁻¹) were in excess of 63% with coefficients of variation between 2.0 and 9.8%. This method would be useful for routine monitoring of oxytetracycline residues in pig tissues.     

Capillary zone electrophoretic separation of isomeric benzoic acids using cyclodextrin

A method using capillary zone electrophoresis has been developed for separation of a series of isomeric benzene polycarboxylic acids. The separation was found to depend largely on the geometry of the acids and their degree of ionization as well as on the buffer pH and composition. The presence of additives to the buffer such as cyclodextrin and cationic surfactants was found necessary for complete resolution of all the isomers.     

Separation and simultaneous determination of quinolone antibiotics by capillary zone electrophoresis

Summary The potential of capillary zone electrophoresis has been investigated for the separation and quantitative determination of some quinolone antibiotics. The influence of different conditions, such as the nature and concentration of the electrophoretic electrolyte, on migration time, peak symmetry, efficiency and resolution was studied. A buffer consisting of 100mm HEPES adjusted to pH 8.5 containing 10% (v/v) acetonitrile was found to furnish a very efficient and stable electrophoretic system for the separation of exoxacin, ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, oxolinic acid, nalidixic acid and pipemedic acid. A linear relationship between concentration and peak area for each compound was obtained in the concentration range 0.25–40 μg mL⁻¹; detection limits were approximately 0.25 ng mL⁻¹. It was demonstrated that the method can be used for the simultaneous determination of these six antibiotics in serum and urine samples.     

Capillary zone electrophoresis for simultaneous determination of seven nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in pharmaceuticals

A simple capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) method has been developed for analyzing seven nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)—sulindac (SU), ketoprofen (KE), indomethacin (IN), piroxicam (PI), nimesulide (NI), ibuprofen (IB), and naproxen (NA). The separation was run using borate buffer (60 mmol L^–1, pH 8.5) containing 13% (v/v) methanol at 20 kV, and detected at 200 nm. Several conditions were studied, including concentration and pH of borate buffer, methanol percentage, and separation voltage. In method validation, the calibration plots were linear over the range 40.0–500.0 mol L^–1. In intra-day and inter-day analysis, relative standard deviations (RSD) and relative errors (RE) were all less than 5%. The limits of detection were 10 mol L^–1 for SU, IN, PI, and 20 mol L^–1 for KE, NI, IB, NA (S/N = 3, sampling 6 s by pressure). All recoveries were greater than 95%. This method was applied to the quality control of six NSAIDs in pharmaceuticals using NI as internal standard (IS). The assay results were within the labeled amount required by USP 25.     

Capillary electrophoretic determination of mercury compounds in different matrixes

Summary Capillary electrophoresis has been used to separate inorganic (Hg²⁺) and organic (methyl-, ethyl-, and phenylmercury) mercury compounds as their cysteine complexes. The optimized electrophoretic separation was performed in fused-silica capillary tubing at 25 kV with 25mm sodium borate buffer (pH 9.3). Identification and quantification of the mercury species at mg L⁻¹ levels was achieved by use of UV detection at 200 nm. The relative standard deviation (n=10) ranged from 0.38 to 0.51% for migration times and from 0.43 to 2.94% for corrected peak areas. Good recovery (>90%) was obtained for all four mercury species in surface waters, and for inorganic mercury and methylmercury in five- to tenfold diluted biofluids (urine, saliva, and cerebrospinal fluid). TheLOQ values obtained were too high to be useful for determination of mercury species in real samples.

Capillary zone electrophoresis for polymide composition analysis

Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) was employed in polyimide composition analysis. Polymide was decomposed to its corresponding aromatic diamine and aromatic acid monomers by an alkali fusion reaction. Sample treatment is much simpler than published methods, and electropherograms show a good separation of decomposed products under the proper conditions.     

Capillary electrophoresis-chemiluminescence determination of norfloxacin and prulifloxacin

A capillary electrophoresis (CE)–chemiluminescence (CL) method for determining norfloxacin (NFLX) and prulifloxacin (PFLX) was developed based on the enhanced CL intensity of the cerium(IV)–sulfite–fluoroquinolone (FQ) reaction sensitized by terbium(III). The separation was conducted in buffer composed of 20 mM sodium citrate, 4 mM citric acid and 10 mM sodium sulfite at pH 6.1. The CL reagent solution consisted of 2 mM cerium(IV), 4 mM terbium(III) and 1.1 mM hydrochloric acid. NFLX and PFLX were baseline separated within 11 min with detection limits (S/N = 3) of 0.057 and 0.084 μg mL⁻¹, respectively. The maximum intra- and inter-day relative standard deviations (R.S.D.s) of migration time of the analytes were less than 4.0% and 4.2%, respectively. The proposed method was applied to detect NFLX and PFLX in fortified urine sample and the results were comparable to high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)–UV method. Moreover, the high selectivity of the CL detection and the high-separation efficiency of CE render the method the potential of quick analyzing fluoroquinolones in real complex matrix.     

Capillary electrophoretic determination of ammonia using headspace single-drop microextraction

A new method involving headspace single-drop microextraction (SDME) and capillary electrophoresis (CE) is developed for the preconcentration and determination of ammonia (as dissolved NH₃ and ammonium ion). An aqueous microdrop (5 μL) containing 1 mmol/L H₃PO₄ and 0.5 mmol/L KH₂PO₄ (as internal standard) was used as the acceptor phase. Common experimental parameters (sample and acceptor phase pH, extraction temperature, extraction time) affecting the extraction efficiency were investigated. Proposed SDME-CE method provided about 14-fold enrichment in about 20 min. The calibration curve was linear for concentrations of NH₄⁺ in the range from 5 to 100 μmol/L (R² = 0.996). The LOD (S / N = 3) was estimated to be 1.5 μmol/L of NH₄⁺. Such detection sensitivity is high enough for ammonia determination in common environmental and biological samples. Finally, headspace SDME was applied to determine ammonia in human blood, seawater and milk samples with spiked recoveries in the range of 96-107%.     

CE-DAD-MS/MS in the simultaneous determination and identification of selected antibiotic drugs and their metabolites in human urine samples

In this study, a new analytical method was developed and validated for the simultaneous analysis of antibiotic drugs (amoxicillin, cefotaxime, ciprofloxacin, clindamycin, linezolid, metronidazole) and their metabolites (amoxycilloic acid, amoxicillin diketopiperazine, 3-desacetyl cefotaxime lactone, clindamycin sulfoxide, ciprofloxacin piperazinyl-N4-sulfate, linezolid N-oxide, metronidazole-OH) in human urine. Capillary electrophoresis (CE) along with the tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) was used to determine and identify all analytes. Appropriate conditions for MS/MS measurements along with the use of the central composite design were optimized. The effects of different analytical conditions (the composition, the concentration, and the pH value of the background electrolyte, the time and pressure of the injection, the capillary temperature and influence of the organic modifier) on the migration and separation of antibiotic drugs and metabolites were examined using the CE-DAD. The analytical procedure was linear for concentrations ranging from 20 to 1000 ng/mL, with determination coefficients higher than 0.99 for all the analytes. The validated analytical procedure was then applied to the measurement of antibiotic drugs and their metabolites in human urine samples.     

Capillary zone electrophoresis for determination of carbohydrate-deficient transferrin in human serum

Carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (CDT) is the most specific marker for diagnosis of chronic excessive alcohol consumption and includes the serum transferrin (Tf) isoforms with two or less sialic acid residues (di-, mono-, and asialo-Tf). To monitor serum CDT, we developed a capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) method based on the dynamic capillary coating with diethylenetriamine (DETA). The separation was performed in a bare fused-silica capillary (50 microm ID, 57 cm in length), applying a voltage of 25 kV and a temperature of 40 degrees C. Using a 100 mmol/L borate buffer, pH 8.4 with 3 mmol/L DETA, the Tf isoforms (asialo- to pentasialo-Tf) were resolved within 16 min. Enzymatic cleavage of sialic acid residues with neuraminidase and immunosubtraction were used to identify CDT isoforms. The relative amount of CDT expressed as area % of disialo-Tf isoform related to the area of tetrasialo-Tf in 50 healthy donors (24 males and 26 females; aged 25-50 years) was 3.15 +/- 0.76% (mean +/- SD). The comparison between CDT values obtained by this CZE procedure and the "Axis-Shield %CDT" kit gave r = 0.644, p < 0.001 (n = 290). This easy to use and inexpensive CZE procedure could be an ideal tool to investigate CDT proteins for clinical or forensic purposes.     

Capillary zone electrophoretic determination of phenolic compounds in chess (Bromus inermis L.) plant extracts

A simple CZE method for quantification of phenolic compounds (vanillin, cinnamic, sinapic, chlorogenic, syringic, ferulic, benzoic, p-coumaric, vanillic, p-hydroxybenzoic, rosmarinic, caffeic, gallic and protocatechuic acids) in less than 10 min using 20 mM sodium tetraborate (pH 9.2) with 5% v/v methanol as a BGE and with UV detection at 254 nm is described. The LODs (3 S/N) ranged between 0.02 and 0.12 microg/ mL. Repeatabilities (RSDs) were 0.66-1.8 and 1.56-4.23% for migration times and peak areas (n = 5), respectively. The method was applied to the determination of phenolic compounds in chess (Bromus inermis L.) after Soxhlet extraction and purification of the crude extracts with SPE procedures. The results compared well with those obtained by liquid chromatographic method. B. inermis was found as a suitable model plant containing a broad spectrum of phenolic compounds in easily detectable concentrations and as a potential source of antioxidants.     

Capillary zone electrophoretic studies of ion association between inorganic anions and tetraalkylammonium ions in aqueous-dioxane media

Ion association between inorganic anions and symmetrical tetraalkylammonium ions, R4N+ (R = Me, Et, Pr, n-Bu, n-Am, and 2-methyl butyl {isoamyl = iAm}) was investigated using ordinary silica capillary by capillary zone electrophoresis. An improved version of the Williams-Vigh method was used for the first time to measure the mobilities of the inorganic anions. Plots of log Kass against log dielectric constant in various media, revealed a smaller change in Kass compared to dielectric constant. These plots suggest that the Bjerrum's equation is inadequate in accounting for the associations of ions in a CZE setup.

Capillary zone electrophoresis study of cyclodextrin--lipoic acid host-guest interaction

Lipoic acid is a naturally occurring compound which is being widely investigated for its therapeutic effects in the treatment or prevention of a variety of diseases associated with oxidative injury, particularly diabetes. The diversity of therapeutic applications of lipoic acid requires an appropriate formulation to control its bioavailability, site-targeting delivery and to overcome its inherent chemical instability. In this regard, cyclodextrins (CDs) are ideally suitable due to their well-documented ability to include in their cavity proper guest molecules and protect them from physical or chemical damages. Lipoic acid forms 1:1 inclusion complexes with betaCD as shown in a previous report of an extended investigation that also indicated the suitability of capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) for the study of such host-guest interactions. In view of these possible applications, we extended the CZE analysis to determine the strength of binding, in a pH 9 phosphate buffer, of lipoic acid with other CD derivatives such as alphaCD, gammaCD and the alkylated derivatives of betaCD, namely (2-hydroxypropyl)-beta-CD (HPbetaCD), and heptakis(2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)-beta-CD (TMbetaCD). Once established that the easily available betaCD is the most suitable receptor for lipoic acid, we set up and here describe a simple and reliable procedure for the quantitative determination of lipoic acid in commercial dietary supplement tablets containing also other active substances and excipients.     

Development and validation of a capillary zone electrophoresis method for the determination of propranolol and N-desisopropylpropranolol in human urine

A simple, rapid and sensitive procedure using solid phase extraction and capillary zone electrophoresis for the determination of propranolol (a beta-blocker) and one of its metabolites, N-desisopropylpropranolol, has been developed and validated. The optimum separation of both analytes was obtained in a 37 cm × 75 μm fused silica capillary using 20 mmol/L phosphate buffer (pH 2.2) as electrolyte, at 25 kV and 30 °C, and hydrodynamic injection for 5 s. Prior to the electrophoretic separation, the samples were cleaned up and concentrated using a C₁₈ cartridge and then, eluted with methanol, allowing a concentration factor of 30.Good results were obtained in terms of precision, accuracy and linearity. The limits of detection were 28 and 30 μg/L for N-desisopropylpropranolol and propranolol, respectively. Additionally, a robustness test of the method was carried out using the Plackett-Burman fractional factorial model with a matrix of 15 experiments.The presented method has been applied to the determination of both compounds in human urine.     

Capillary zone electrophoretic studies of interactions of some quaternary isoquinoline alkaloids with DNA constituents and DNA

Capillary zone electrophoresis was applied for the investigation of interactions of some quaternary isoquinoline alkaloids, namely sanguinarine, chelerythrine, berberine, and jatrorrhizine, with DNA constituents and with DNA. None of these alkaloids attach covalently to nucleotides or to the whole DNA under physiological conditions. The interaction with DNA constituents is a noncovalent complexation based on weak intermolecular forces. Electrostatic attraction participates in the interaction but other types of intermolecular forces are involved as well. Cations were identified as the most probable interacting forms of the alkaloids. The interaction with compounds derived from purine was always stronger than those derived from pyrimidine. All alkaloids behaved analogously and similarly to ethidium bromide, the classic DNA intercalator. Stability constants K (in l.mol(-1)) for sanguinarine and chelerythrine in phosphate buffer of pH 7.4 (I(S) = 30 mM) ranged from tens to hundreds.

Application of Capillary Zone Electrophoresis for the Analysis of Low Molecular Weight Organic Acids in Environmental Samples

Abstract

The applicability of a recently developed capillary zone electrophoretic (CZE) method for the determination of low molecular weight (LMW) organic acids in water was tested on five types of environmental samples (rainwater, water extract from peat, and soil water from two polluted sites). A full baseline resolved separation of fourteen commonly found LMW carboxylic acids in natural waters (malonic, oxalic, fumaric, maleic, formic, succinic, tartaric, glutaric, adipic, acetic, propionic, butyric, valeric and citric acids), was achieved within eight minutes. The limits of detection (2 X noise) were in the ranges 90–200 μg/l and 0.5 – 5 μg/l for hydrodynamic and electrokinetic injection, respectively. Two different CZE systems, a Waters Quanta 4000 and a Hewlett Packard HP ^3DCE system, were used and their performance compared.
