Determination of Pharmaceuticals by Dynamic Cell Membrane Chromatography Coupled with High-Performance Liquid Chromatography

As a biological affinity chromatographic method, cell membrane chromatography (CMC) using a silica stationary phase covered with specific cell membrane has been used in screening active components. The innovation of this work is that the bioactive cell membrane and the chromatographic packing are mixed and absorbed for the first time to form the pre-column. The pre-column was placed in front of a C₁₈ column to create dynamic CMC online high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system. The retention behavior and dynamic changes of pharmaceuticals were studied for this system. The results indicate that the retention time of the drug was increased and the symmetry factor reached the analytical level after the addition of the dynamic cell membrane pre-column. Therefore, the dynamic CMC coupled with HPLC system may be a potentially rapid and efficient drug analysis approach for the interaction of drug molecule and receptor on red blood cell membranes.

Determination of Simazine and Atrazine in River Water by Cloud-Point Extraction and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography

Atrazine and simazine are endocrine-disrupting herbicides that may be transported to surface water, unbalancing ecosystems. Sensitive and low-cost methods are required for monitoring the residues of these compounds. Although several highly sensitive chromatographic methods coupled to tandem mass spectrometry are available, these methods use high-cost instrumentation. Ultraviolet detection usually does not provide the sensitivity and selectivity for monitoring these herbicide residues at the maximum concentrations levels permitted by regulatory agencies, so that extraction and concentration steps are required. Cloud-point extraction in Triton X-114 micelles was investigated to extract and preconcentrate atrazine and simazine. Treatment of 10?mL of sample solutions with 5?mL of 5% (m v^?1) Triton X-114 in the presence of NaCl (0.3?g) with heating at 60°C for 30?min led to phase separation and the transfer of herbicides to the surfactant-rich phase, which was dissolved in 90:10 methanol:water for liquid chromatography analysis with ultraviolet detection. The linear dynamic range was 1–50?µg?L^?1 for the herbicides. The limits of detection were 0.13 and 0.27?µg?L^?1 for simazine and atrazine, respectively. The methodology was applied to water samples fortified with 1, 5, 15, and 50?µg?L^?1 of the analytes, resulting in recoveries between 86 and 132% with relative standard deviations less than 6%. The method is low cost and uses small volumes of toxic solvents with useful application in trial studies.     

Sequential Injection Magneto Chromatography Determination of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs in Pharmaceutical Formulations

A magnetic separation method based on the use of magnetic silica as the stationary phase in sequential injection chromatography was used for simultaneous determination of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (acetaminophen, naproxen, diclofenac, and ibuprofen) in tablets. The method is based on a thin layer paramagnetic stationary phase retained on the inner wall of a mini-column through the action of an external magnetic field. The influence of the variables involved was evaluated and the optimal conditions were found to be: a methyl-silica magnetic adsorbent was used as the stationary phase, the mobile phase was methanol-water (60:40, v/v), pH 2.5 adjusted with 98% phosphoric acid, a flow rate 0.60 ml min^?1, and UV detection at 225 nm. Under these conditions, the linear range of the calibration curve ranged from 3–6 mg L^?1 to 100 mg L^?1 with limits of detection ranging between 1 to 2 mg L^?1. The proposed method was validated by comparing the results obtained against those provided by high performance liquid chromatography; no significant differences were seen.

Ionic Liquids as Mobile Phase Additives for Separation of Nucleotides in High-Performance Liquid Chromatography

Ionic liquids are a type of salts that are liquid at low temperature (＜100℃). Because of their some special properties, they have been widely used as new “green solvents” for many chemical reactions and liquid-liquid extraction in the past several years. In this paper, a new method for the separation of nucleotides is developed and the essential feature of the method is that 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium salts are used as mobile phase additives, resulting in a baseline separation of nucleotides without need of gradient elution and need of organic solvent addition as currently used in RP-HPLC. This study shows the potential application of ionic liquids as mobile phase additives in reversed-phase liquid chromatograohy.     

A Rapid and Sensitive Method for The Determination of Diclofenac Sodium in Plasma By High-Performance Liquid Chromatography

Abstract

A rapid and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of diclofenac sodium in plasma has been developed. The method is specific and free of interference from metabolites and common anti-inflammatory agents. The UV detector (215 nm) response was linear over a range of 5-1000 ng/ml. Day-to-day and within-day calibration curves were reproducible. The method was validated by analysis of spiked human plasma samples, partly in a blind fashion. The accuracy and precision of the method are satisfactory over the range of 5-1000 ng/ml. The method was cross-checked with the GC method. Results show a correlation coefficient of 0.983 and a slope of 1.04. The method is suitable for the routine analysis of large numbers of plasma samples usually obtained in bioavailability and pharmacokinetic studies.     

Determination of Tetracyclines in Milk by Graphene-Based Solid-Phase Extraction and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography

A graphene-based solid-phase extraction (SPE) column was prepared for the isolation of tetracyclines from milk followed by determination by high-performance liquid chromatography. Graphene provided better separation for tetracyclines than amine-modified graphene and carboxyl-modified graphene. The optimized graphene-based SPE column showed high absorption capacities (greater than 4,660?ng) and high recoveries (exceeding 92%) for tetracycline, oxytetracycline, chlortetracycline, and doxycycline and was successfully reused at least fifty times. The limits of detection in milk were from 10 to 20?ng/mL, with recoveries between 82.3 and 103.6%. Furthermore, the system showed superior performance than two commercial SPE cartridges with respect to recovery, purification, and reusability. Therefore, this approach is suitable for the determination of tetracyclines in milk.

In this work, magnetic tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA)-modified carboxyl–carbon nanotubes were synthesized, characterized, and used as adsorbents to conduct magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) for the preconcentration of seven local anesthetic drugs (procaine, lidocaine, mepivacaine, oxybuprocaine, bupivacaine, tetracaine, and cinchocaine) from human plasma. The separation and determination of analytes were performed on high-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection. Several factors affected the extraction efficiency, such as the amount of adsorbents used, extraction time, sample pH, and optimization of elution conditions. Under optimal conditions, satisfactory linear relationships were obtained in the range of 0.02–5.00 mg/L, with the limits of detection (LOD) ranging from 0.003 mg/L to 0.008 mg/L. The recoveries of analytes for spiked human plasma were in the range of 82.0–108%. Moreover, the precision with intra-day and inter-day RSD values were obtained in the range of 1.5–7.7% and 1.5–8.3%. The results indicated that this method could determine the concentration of seven local anesthetic drugs in human plasma with high precision and repeatability and provide support for the clinical monitoring of the concentration of local anesthetic drugs in human plasma.

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).     

Rapid Determination of Anthracene and Benzo(a)pyrene by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography with Fluorescence Detection

A rapid and simple method was optimized and validated for the separation and quantification of anthracene and benzo(a)pyrene, two of the most toxic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, at ultratrace levels in aqueous samples by direct injection. The determination of anthracene and benzo(a)pyrene was performed by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence detection. A fractional factorial matrix and a Box–Behnken design were chosen for screening and optimization purposes, respectively. The optimized parameters that significantly influenced the system were the flow rate (1?mL?min^?1), mobile-phase strength (90% acetonitrile:10% deionized water), column temperature (35°C), and excitation wavelength (254 and 267?nm for anthracene and benzo(a)pyrene, respectively). The injection volume and emission wavelength were fixed at 100?µL and 416?nm, respectively. The quantification limits were 75?ng?L^?1 for anthracene and 30?ng?L^?1 for benzo(a)pyrene. The relative standard deviations for the recovery and intra and interday precision values were lower than 20%. The method allows the analysis of aqueous samples with a good resolution for anthracene and benzo(a)pyrene below values permitted by the recently developed European Directive 2013 Directive. 2013. Directive 2013/39/EU of the European parliament and of the council of 12 August 2013 amending directives 2000/60/EC and 2008/105/EC as regards priority substances in the field of water policy.

Simultaneous Determination of Five Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs and Two Glucocorticoids in Adulterated Traditional Herbal Medicines for the Treatment of Rheumatism

The adulteration of traditional herbal medicines (THMs) with synthetic drugs is prevalent and represents a serious risk for public health. A rapid and novel reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was established and validated for the simultaneous determination of five nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and two glucocorticoids in THMs for rheumatoid treatment. Glipizide was used as the internal standard (IS). The separation was completed on a C₁₈ column with a mobile phase consisting of methanol and a buffer solution containing 10 mM ammonium acetate and 0.1% formic acid with a gradient elution. All calibration curves showed good linear regression (r ² > 0.9996), and the recoveries of the seven analytes were in the range of 96.94%–105.37%. A liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) method was developed to confirm the identity of the adulterants. The proposed method was applied to identify and determine the five NSAIDs and two glucocorticoids in THMs for rheumatism.     

Determination of Chlorogenic Acid in a Herbal Medicinal Product with Preconcentration by Ionic Liquid-Modified Magnetic Nanoparticles and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography

Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have been widely used in herbal analysis, and potential ionic liquid-based MNPs are expected in similar applications. In this study, the new functional Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles combined with a previously unreported ionic liquid were synthesized by three methods and used to enrich chlorogenic acid from aqueous solution and crude herbal extracts for the first time. The combination of pyrrole cation and proline anion immobilized on Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles had higher immobilized concentrations and ideal morphology, which can be easily adsorbed and recovered by an external magnetic field from the nanosuspension. When the mobile phase composed of acetonitrile and 0.5% phosphate aqueous solution (3:22, v:v) was used on a C₁₈ chromatographic column (4.6?×?250?mm, 5?µm) at 25°C, the concentration of chlorogenic acid in herbal product was determined to be 7.01?mg/g. The validation indicated the method had good linearity, recovery, repeatability, and precision. These results show that the ionic liquid has been chemically bonded to the magnetic nanoparticles through the developed procedures and may be effectively used for the high-performance liquid chromatographic determination of chlorogenic acid in herbal products.     

Determination of Synthetic Phenolic Antioxidants in Vegetable Oil and Oil-Enriched Foods by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography with Electrochemical Detection

Three synthetic phenolic antioxidants, tertiary butyl hydroquinone, butylated hydroxytoluene, and butylated hydroxyanisole, were determined in vegetable oil and oil-enriched food by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with electrochemical detection. The separation was achieved using a reverse-phase column and gradient elution with methanol and 1% acetic acid. The limits of detection and quantification of the analytes were 2–120 lower, higher than those obtained by diode-array detection. The recoveries were 103.3% for tertiary butyl hydroquinone, 97.3% for butylated hydroxyanisole, and 95.2% for butylated hydroxytoluene. The results showed that HPLC with electrochemical detection is suitable for the quantification of low concentrations of phenolic antioxidants in vegetable oil and oil-enriched food with high sensitivity and accuracy.     

Determination of Acephate in Vegetables by Magnetic Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Isolation Coupled with High-Performance Liquid Chromatography

Magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers based on carbon nanotubes were prepared and characterized by infrared spectrometry, transmission electron microscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometry and were employed for the isolation of acephate from cabbage, spinach, lettuce, leeks, and celery. Kinetic and recognition studies were carried out in order to investigate the adsorption properties of the polymers. During the application process, the acephate extracted from vegetables was purified with the magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers and determined by high performance liquid chromatography with an ultraviolet detector. The recoveries of acephate at three fortified concentrations (0.015, 0.15, and 1.5 mg kg^?1) were between 89.2% and 93.4%. The limits of detection and quantification of acephate were 0.0025 and 0.0077 mg kg^?1, respectively. The linear dynamic range was from 0.01 to 5 mg kg^?1. The relative standard deviations of intra- and inter-day precision were 1.1% to 5.9% and 2.7% to 6.4%, respectively. The developed method was demonstrated to be rapid and selective for the extraction and determination of acephate in vegetables.
