Simultaneous determination of caffeine and its primary demethylated metabolites in human plasma by high-performance liquid chromatography.

An improved high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the simultaneous determination of caffeine and its three primary metabolites (theophylline, theobromine and paraxanthine) in human plasma is described. The four substances were separated on a reversed-phase column (5 microns TSK gel ODS-80TM, 150 mm x 4.6 mm I.D.) by use of the mobile phase methanol-0.1 M NaH2PO4 (30:70, v/v) with a flow-rate of 0.8 ml/min. Absorbance was monitored at 274 nm. The detection limit was 5 ng/ml for theobromine and caffeine and 10 ng/ml for paraxanthine and theophylline. The linearity and reproducibility were sufficient for drug monitoring of caffeine and its primary methylxanthines.

Simultaneous determination of 118 pesticide residues in Chinese teas by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

An efficient and sensitive method for simultaneous determination of 118 pesticide residues in teas has been established and validated. A multi-residue analysis of pesticides in tea involved extraction with ethyl acetate-hexane, clean-up using gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and solidphase extraction (SPE), and subsequent identification and quantification of the selected pesticides by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). For most of the target analytes, optimized pretreatment processes led to no significant interference with analysis of sample matrix, and the determination of 118 compounds was achieved in about 60 min. In the linear range of each pesticide, the correlation coefficient was R ² ≥ 0.99. At the low, medium and high three fortification levels of 0.05–2.5 mg kg⁻¹, 118 pesticides average recoveries range from 61 % to 121 % and relative standard deviations (RSD) were in the range of 0.6–9.2 % for all analytes. The limits of detection for the method were 0.00030-0.36 mg kg⁻¹, depending on each pesticide.     

Simultaneous determination of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in river water by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

The gas chromatography/mass spectrometric assay method was developed for the determination of 13 non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in river water. Extraction was achieved by a liquid‐phase extraction procedure using methylene chloride. The extract was reacted for 30 min at 80°C based on the formation of methyl ester with 1.0 M HCl in methanol and extraction of the derivative with ethyl acetate, which was then measured by gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry. The limit of quantification of NSAIDs was 1.0–60 ng/L and the calibration curve showed linearity being greater than r=0.997. The method was used to analyze ten river water samples from various regions in Korea. Diclofenac, indoprofen, ketoprofen and loxoprofen were detected at concentration of up to 1.29 μg/L in river water. The developed method may prove valuable for use in the national monitoring project of NSAIDs in surface water.     

Simultaneous determination of benzophenone-type UV filters in water and soil by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

A novel method has been developed to simultaneously determine and quantify seven organic UV filters employing liquid (solid)-liquid extraction, derivatization with N-methyl-N-(trimethylsilyl) trifluoroacetamide (MSTFA) and gas chromatography with mass spectrometric detection in various environmental matrices. The UV filters determined were: benzophenone (BP), benzhydrol (BH), 4-hydroxybenzophenone (HBP), 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone (HMB), 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone (DHB), 2,2'-dihydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone (DHMB) and 2,3,4-trihydroxylbenzophenone (THB). Under optimal conditions, the analysis required 23 min and good linearity over the range of 10-2,500 ng/L in water and 100-25,000 ng/kg in soil for each UV filter obtained. The high recovery (62-114% and 60-125% for water and soil samples, respectively) and the low RSD values (less than 13.9 and 17.2% for water and soil samples, respectively) indicated the high performance of this method. The method detection limits (MDLs) were relatively low, ranging from 5 to 100 ng/L or kg and quantification limits ranged between 25 and 500 ng/L or kg for all test compounds. This validated method was applied in the analysis of seven BP-type UV filters collecting water and soil samples in Korea, between April and May 2003. The overall concentration of UV filters in the soil sample (500-18,380 ng/kg) was highly distributed in water sample (27-204 ng/L). The established method was successfully applied to monitor the residue measurement of the BP-type UV filters in environmental water and soil samples.     

Simultaneous determination of endocrine-disrupting phenols and steroid estrogens in sediment by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

A simple and effective method has been developed to simultaneously determine endocrine-disrupting phenolic xenoestrogens and steroid estrogens in sediment by using ultra-sonicated extraction in combination with silica gel fractionation, derivatization with pentafluropropionic anhydride, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) in selected ion monitoring mode (SIM). Satisfactory recoveries have been obtained for phenolic xenoestrogens and steroid estrogens. The method enables the determination of targets at concentrations of lower nanogram-per-gram in sediments. The method has been successfully applied to the sediments collected from Pearl River Estuary (PRE), South China Sea, China. Nonylphenol and bisphenol-A (BPA) were detected in the range from 204.2 to 664.5 ng/g and 0.6 to 4.0 ng/g, respectively. None of the estrogens were found in the sediment samples.

Simultaneous determination of serine enantiomers in plasma using Mosher's reagent and stable isotope dilution gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

D-Serine is a co-agonist of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor in glutamate neurotransmission and has been proposed as a potential therapeutic agent for schizophrenia. However, D-serine also acts as a nephrotoxic substance in rats at high doses. To investigate the pharmacokinetics and toxicokinetics of D-serine, a method for the stereoselective determination of serine enantiomers in rat plasma was developed using GC-MS with selected ion monitoring (GC-MS-SIM). DL-[(2)H(3)]Serine was used as an internal standard to account for losses associated with the extraction, derivatization and chromatography. Serine enantiomers were purified by cation-exchange chromatography using BondElut SCX cartridge and derivatized with HCl in methanol to form methyl ester followed by subsequent N,O-diacylation with optically active (+)-α-methoxy-α-trifluoromethylphenylacetyl chloride to form epimeric amide. Quantitation was performed by SIM of the molecular-related ions of the epimers in the chemical ionization mode. The intra- and inter-day reproducibility of the assay was less than 5% for D-serine and 3% for L-serine. The method was successively applied to study the pharmacokinetics of D-serine in rats.

Simultaneous determination of prostanoids in plasma by gas chromatography-negative-ion chemical-ionization mass spectrometry

A method for simultaneous determination of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha), 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha (6-keto-PGF1 alpha), and thromboxane B2 (TxB2) in plasma was developed. After acidification and addition of 2H- and 3H-labelled internal standards, plasma prostanoids were extracted by reversed-phase cartridges and purified by normal-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The pentafluorobenzyl, methoxime, trimethylsilyl derivatives were formed. Negative-ion chemical-ionization mass spectra with methane as reagent gas show one intense peak at m/z (M - pentafluorobenzyl). This ion was used for selective-ion monitoring. Prostanoid plasma concentrations (pg/ml) in five healthy volunteers were: PGE2 2.0-10.4, PGF2 alpha 2.2-9.8, 6-keto-PGF1 alpha 0.6-1.8, and TxB2 3.0-45.3. However, there is evidence that the TxB2 values may frequently be falsely high because of ex vivo production during the sampling procedure.
