Application of ACC method to synchronous luminiscence: determination of α-tocopherol and α-tocopheryl acetate in beverages

A new method based on the Q parameter, that permits the determination of the C_{compound A} /C_{compound B} ratio without preparing calibration graphs of the two compounds, is proposed. This method has been applied to signals obtained by synchronous luminiscence. Simultaneous determination of α-tocopherol and α-tocopheryl acetate in beverages using synchronous fluorescence has been carried out. To isolate the compounds from samples, liquid extraction with n-hexane as the organic phase was employed. The presence of interferences was tested using the apparent content curves (ACC) method and the C_{α-tocopherol}/¶C_{α-tocopheryl acetate} ratio was calculated using the Q parameter. The reproducibility and detection limit for the determination of α-tocopherol and α-tocopheryl acetate were 6.6% and 0.016 mg/L and 1.8% and 0.017 mg/L, respectively.

Simple and rapid high-performance liquid chromatographic method for endogenous alpha-tocopherol determination in human plasma

A simple and rapid reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method was developed and validated for the determination of endogenous alpha-tocopherol in human plasma. Following addition of alpha-tocopheryl acetate as the internal standard, the plasma was deproteinized using acetonitrile and isopropanol mixture prior to HPLC analysis. Methanol was used as the mobile phase and the effluent was quantitated at 292 nm. By this developed method, the concentrations of alpha-tocopherol were linearly related to their responses in the range of 0.8-30 microg/mL. The relative standard deviations intra-day and inter-day for alpha-tocopherol in plasma were less than 10%. The percentage of bias was within +/-4%, which confirmed the accuracy of the method. The method has been successfully applied for determining endogenous alpha-tocopherol in healthy Thai male volunteers.

A simple method is described which permits, avoiding saponification, alpha-tocopherol and alpha-tocopheryl acetate measurement in semi-synthetic diets for experimental animals by HPLC, with both UV and fluorescence detection. Phenyldodecane was chosen as internal standard with remarkable performances, and EDTA and BHT were added to prevent oxidation in aqueous and non-aqueous phases respectively. The mobile phase was methanol-water (94:6 v/v) at a flow-rate of 2 ml/min. Samples were homogenized and extracted twice with n-hexane by probe sonication. Extracts were evaporated to dryness and redissolved with chloroform-methanol (1:1, v/v). Validation parameters were studied between 25 ng and 6 micrograms for alpha-tocopherol and between 3 and 24.2 micrograms for alpha-tocopheryl acetate, which corresponds to the range of values in the existing diets. Results had correlation coefficients > 0.99; recoveries > 85%; R.S.D. < 6%, so the method is adequate to control vitamin E intake in animals as well as vitamin E stability in food during storage.

Determination of vitamins A and E in serum and plasma using a simplified clarification method and high-performance liquid chromatography

A method of sample clarification and high-performance liquid chromatography specifically developed to permit precise and rapid determination of vitamin A (retinol) and vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) in serum and plasma is reported. Serum proteins were denatured by the addition of acetonitrile containing alpha-tocopherol acetate, the internal standard; the vitamins were subsequently extracted into an organic matrix consisting of ethyl acetate-butanol (1:1); no solvent evaporation step was required. The three vitamins of interest were eluted from a reversed-phase C18 column with an isocratic mobile phase methanol-water (95:5); detection was accomplished by measuring ultraviolet absorption at 280 nm. Recoveries of retinol, alpha-tocopherol and alpha-tocopherol acetate from spiked aqueous samples averaged 100.0, 100.0 and 98.8%, respectively. Recoveries of retinol, alpha-tocopherol and alpha-tocopherol acetate from plasma and serum relative to water were 102.6, 96.9 and 96.5%, respectively. Retinol and alpha-tocopherol were stable in the extraction matrix for up to 3.5 h, and were stable in heparinized plasma stored at room temperature for two days. Oxalate, citrate and EDTA caused significant losses of retinol and alpha-tocopherol, while vitamin levels in serum and heparinized plasma were similar. Limits of detection for retinol and alpha-tocopherol were 60 ng/ml and 0.9 micrograms/ml, respectively. Each run required 12 min. Same-day coefficients of variation were 3.5 and 3.6% for retinol and alpha-tocopherol, respectively (n = 11). Between-day coefficients of variation for retinol and alpha-tocopherol were 4.8 and 5.5%, respectively (n = 5). This method permits simple, rapid, sensitive, selective and precise determination of retinol and alpha-tocopherol using 0.5 ml of serum or heparinized plasma.     

An interlaboratory-verified method for the determination of vitamins A and E in milk- and soy-based infant formula by liquid chromatography with matrix solid-phase dispersion extraction

An interlaboratory-verified, liquid chromatographic (LC) method is presented for determination of all-racemic alpha-tocopheryl acetate and retinyl palmitate in infant formula. The extraction procedure uses matrix solid-phase dispersion. A sample is mixed with C18, and the mixture is packed into a reservoir and eluted with selective solvents to extract the analytes. After evaporation and filtration, the sample extract is injected directly into a normal-phase LC system with fluorescence detection. All-racemic alpha-tocopheryl acetate and retinyl palmitate are quantitated isocratically with a mobile phase of hexane containing isopropanol at 0.2% (v/v) and 0.125% (v/v), respectively. A nonfortified zero control reference material (ZRM) was spiked at 5 levels, with 5 replicate analyses of 1/2x, x, 2x, 4x, and 16x where "x" represents the minimum levels of 250 IU/100 kcal (vitamin A) and 0.7 IU/100 kcal (vitamin E) as specified in Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 107.100. Recoveries of retinyl palmitate ranged from 83.8 to 107%, and those of all-racemic alpha-tocopheryl acetate ranged from 87.7 to 108%. Two additional laboratories analyzed the ZRM samples at 4 spiking levels with 6 replicates. Recoveries of retinyl palmitate and all-racemic alpha-tocopheryl acetate ranged from 92.2 to 104% and from 91.7 to 101%, respectively, in the second laboratory. Recoveries of retinyl palmitate and all-racemic alpha-tocopheryl acetate ranged from 85.3 to 97.0% and from 86.6 to 110%, respectively, in the third laboratory. Relative standard deviations for all 3 laboratories ranged from 0.2 to 7.5% with an average of 2.9%. In addition, each laboratory analyzed a commercial milk- and commercial soy-based infant formula. Excellent agreement in results was obtained between the 3 laboratories for vitamins A and E in all matrixes.     

Spectrophotometric determination of aminomethylbenzoic acid using sodium 1,2-naphthoquinone-4-sulfonate as the chemical derivative chromogenic reagent

A new method has been established for the determination of aminomethylbenzoic acid using sodium 1,2-naphthoquinone-4-sulfonate as the chemical derivative chromogenic reagent. This method is based on the formation of a pink compound from the reaction of aminomethylbenzoic acid and sodium 1,2-naphthoquinone-4-sulfonate. The nucleophilic substitution reaction proceeds quantitatively in pH 12.0 buffer solution. The stoichiometric ratio of the reaction, maximum absorption wavelength and the value of epsilon(430) were 1:1, 430 nm, and 2.87 x 10(3)L mol(-1)cm(-1), respectively. Beer's law was obeyed in the range of 0.80-80 mg/L of aminomethylbenzoic acid. The data have been filled to a linear regression equation A=0.03183+0.01658C (mg/L), with a correlation coefficient of 0.9996. The detection limit is 0.11 mg/L, R.S.D. is 0.54%, and average recovery is over 99.6%. This paper further improves the determination of aminomethylbenzoic acid compared to the previous methods. The kinetic property and reaction mechanism have also been discussed. This proposed method has been successfully applied to the determination of aminomethylbenzoic acid in injection of aminomethylbenzoic acid with satisfactory results.

Development and validation of HPLC method for the determination of α-tocopherol in human erythrocytes for clinical applications

In this work, a simple isocratic reversed-phase HPLC method for determination of alpha-tocopherol in human erythrocytes has been developed and validated. After separation of plasma the erythrocytes were washed three times with 0.9% sodium chloride containing 0.01% butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) as antioxidant and then were diluted 1:1 (v/v) with the same solution. In the liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) procedure, 2500 microL of n-hexane was added to 500 microL of erythrocytes. After 2 min this mixture was deproteinized by addition of cool ethanol (500 microL, 5 min) denatured with 5% methanol containing alpha-tocopherol acetate (20 micromol L(-1)), as internal standard, and then extracted for 5 min by vortex mixing. After centrifugation (10 min, 1600xg) an aliquot (2000 microL) of the clean extract was separated and evaporated under nitrogen. The residue was dissolved in 400 microL methanol and analysed by reversed-phase HPLC on a 4.6 mmx150 mm, 5 microm Pecosphere C18 column; the mobile phase was 100% methanol, flow rate 1.2 mL min(-1). The volume injected was 100 microL and detection was by diode-array detector at a wavelength of 295 nm. The extraction recovery of alpha-tocopherol from human erythrocytes was 100.0+/-2.0%. The detection limit was 0.1 micromol L(-1) and a linear calibration plot was obtained in the concentration range 0.5-20.0 micromol L(-1). Within determination precision was 5.2% RSD (n=10), between determination precision was 6.1% RSD (n=10). The method was applied successfully in a clinical study of patients with acute pancreatitis and for determination of the reference values in the healthy Czech population.     

Calorimetric study of the alpha-tocopherol solubility in reversed AOT micelles

The experimental data of heat of mixing (Q) for heterogeneous system alpha-tocopherol/AOT/n-heptane with and without water at 25 degrees C are presented. The Q dependence on AOT (sodium bis (2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate) concentration, and R parameter defined as R=[H2O]/[AOT] with flow calorimetric method were investigated. Using the D'Aprano model (which is formally identical to that used earlier by Magid et al.) the binding constant (K), the distribution constant of alpha-tocopherol (K distr) between hydrocarbon and the micellar phase, and the standard enthalpy of transfer (DeltaH tr 0) of alpha-tocopherol from the hydrocarbon to AOT reversed micelles were calculated. The solubility of alpha-tocopherol in AOT reversed micelles explored with the calorimetric technique was compared to the literature data obtained respectively with UV spectrophotometry for reversed micelles and by other techniques for the phospholipid bilayer.     

Separation of alpha-, beta-, gamma-, delta-tocopherols and alpha-tocopherol acetate on a pentaerythritol diacrylate monostearate-ethylene dimethacrylate monolith by capillary electrochromatography

This work reports the first use of a monolith with method development for the separation of tocopherol (TOH) compounds by CEC with UV detection. A pentaerythritol diacrylate monostearate-ethylene dimethacrylate (PEDAS-EDMA) monolithic column has been investigated for an optimised condition to separate alpha-, beta-, gamma- and delta-TOHs, and alpha-tocopherol acetate (TAc). The PEDAS-EDMA monolith showed a remarkably good selectivity for separation of the TOH isomers including the beta- and gamma-isomers which are not easily separated by standard C8 or C18 particle-packed columns. Retention studies indicated that an RP mechanism was involved in the separation on the PEDAS-EDMA column, but polar interactions with the underlying ester and hydroxyl groups enhanced the separation of the problematic beta- and gamma-isomers. Separation of all the compounds was achieved within 25 min using 3:10:87 v/v/v 100 mM Tris buffer (pH 9.3)/methanol/ACN as the mobile phase. The method was successfully applied to a pharmaceutical sample with recoveries from 93 to 99%. Intraday and interday precisions (%RSD) for peak area and retention time were less than 2.3. LODs for all four TOHs and TAc were below 1 ppm.

The fluorescence study of the inclusion coordinated compound of beta-cyclodextrin and p-hydroxyphenolacetamide and its analytical applications

The inclusion coordinated compound fluorescence of p-hydroxyphenolacetamide (PHPA) with beta-cyclodextrin was studied and a high sensitive analytical method to determine the content of PHPA was established based on the increased fluorescence intensity of the coordinated compounds in Britton-Robinson buffer solution (pH 7). The wavelength of the excited emission are 282 and 310 nm, respectively. The enhanced coordinated compounds fluorescence intensity is proportional to the concentration of PHPA in the range 0.030-11.0 mg/l. The relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) were within 0.66-4.2%. Correlation coefficient and inclusion binding constant Kf are obtained within 0.9950-0.9996 and 4.67 x 10(2), respectively. Meanwhile, a linear increase of the resonance light scattering (RLS) with the inclusion coordinated compounds concentration was noticed at a synchronous wavelength of 584 nm. The forming reasons of inclusion coordinated compounds were investigated. The 1:1 molar ratio composition of inclusion compound was measured with DTA and elemental analysis. The method is simple, rapid and has a good reproducibility. The method was used for determination of PHPA in an artificial sample with satisfactory results.
