Determination of Reserpine in Plasma Using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography with Fluorescence Detection

Abstract

A high-performance liquid chromatographic method for determining reserpine in plasma has been developed. The procedure involves extraction of reserpine from buffered plasma into benzene, oxidation of reserpine to a fluorophor by treatment with vanadium pentoxide in phosphoric acid, and chromatographic separation of the reserpine fluorophor on an octadecylsilane column by ion-pairing with heptanesulfonate ions. Fluorescence monitoring of the column effluent provides high sensitivity of detection and increases the specificity of the procedure. A detection limit of approximately 100 pg of reserpine per ml of plasma was obtained following analysis of 2 ml samples. Analysis of a number of samples demonstrated the applicability of this method in confirming the presence of reserpine in equine plasma specimens collected at various horse shows and in evaluating the pharmacokinetic behavior of reserpine following intramuscular administration to horses.     

Sensitive Adsorption Stripping Voltammetric Determination of Reserpine by a Glassy Carbon Electrode Modified with Multi-Wall Carbon Nanotubes

Adsorption stripping voltammetry, a very sensitive electroanalytical method, was employed to determine reserpine, a kind of anti-hypertensive drug. In 0.1M phosphate buffer with a pH of 6.0, reserpine was accumulated at a multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNT)-modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) surface under the condition of open-circuit. In the following anodic sweep from 0.20 to 1.00V, reserpine, adsorbed at the MWNT-modified GCE surface, was oxidized and yielded a sensitive oxidation peak at 0.64V. Due to its unique structure and extraordinary properties, MWNT shows a ten times higher accumulation efficiency toward reserpine, compared with a bare GCE. Hence, the amount of reserpine at the MWNT-modified GCE surface increases significantly, and finally the oxidation peak current improves greatly. The experimental conditions, such as supporting electrolyte, pH value, the amount of MWNT-DHP suspension, accumulation time and scan rate, were optimized for the measurement of reserpine, and a sensitive electroanalytical method was proposed for reserpine determination. The oxidation peak current varies linearly with the concentration of reserpine over the range of 2×10^–8 to 1×10^–5M, and the detection limit is 7.5×10^–9M after 4min open-circuit accumulation. The relative standard deviation at 1×10^–6M reserpine was about 4.7% (n=7), indicating excellent reproducibility. This new method was successfully demonstrated with reserpine injections and tablets.     

Spectrophotometric determination of Rauwolfia alkaloids: estimation of reserpine in pharmaceuticals.

A simple, sensitive and economically viable spectrophotometric method for the determination of some Rauwolfia alkaloids (ajmaline, ajmalicine, reserpine and yohimbine-HCl) has been developed. The method involves the oxidation of Rauwolfia alkaloids by iron(III) and subsequent complexation of iron(II) with 1,10-phenanthroline, forming a red-colored complex having the maximum absorbance at 510 nm. The method is applied to the determination of reserpine in tablets of pharmaceutical formulations. The common excipients do not interfere with the proposed method. A statistical comparison of these results with those of a reported method shows good agreement and indicates no significant difference in the precision.

An Improved Method for the Determination of Reserpine in Plasma Using Liquid Chromatography with Fluorescence Detection

Abstract

A liquid chromatographic method coupled with fluorescence detection was developed to measure plasma reserpine concentrations. After extraction from 3 ml of plasma, the reserpine and internal standard (methyl-18-triethoxy benzoyl reserpate) residues were oxidized to their respective fluorophors by vanadium pentoxide and chromatographed on a reversed phase trimethylsilyl column. These compounds were detected at excitation wave length 460 nm and analyzed at 570 nm. The minimum quantifiable level was ca 0.3 ng/ml and the absolute recovery was determined to be between 78–83%. The coefficient of variation was less than 9% for day-to-day and within run analyses. This method is suitable for pharmacokinetic studies of reserpine in man.     

Determination of individual proton affinities of reserpine from its UV-vis and charge-transfer spectra

Proton affinities of the two N atoms of reserpine (methyl-11,17alpha-dimethoxy-18beta-[(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl)oxy]-3beta,20alpha-yohimban-16beta-carboxylate) have been determined in two ways from the pH-dependent variation of the UV-vis absorption spectra (i) of reserpine itself and (ii) of the charge-transfer (CT) spectra of its complexes with o-chloranil, p-chloranil, and DDQ in aqueous medium (containing 0.1% ethanol v/v). For the second method, the CT absorption bands of the complexes were determined, their formation constants were estimated by a modified Benesi-Hildebrand equation, and variation of CT absorption spectra with a change in pH was noted. A necessary working formula for the second method was derived and utilized with the experimental data. The pKa values obtained by the two methods are well in agreement with each other within the limits of experimental error. To our knowledge, so far, this is the first report on determination of pKa from charge-transfer complex formation in aqueous solution using simple absorption spectroscopy in the UV-vis region. The results obtained were further checked by noting the variation of fluorescence intensity of reserpine upon addition of o-chloranil, acid, and base, and almost complete agreement with the absorption spectrometric result was observed.     

Sub-nanogram analysis of yohimbine and related compounds by high-performance liquid chromatography

The chromatographic behaviour of eserine (employed as internal standard), reserpine, corynanthine, yohimbinic acid, and yohimbine are examined on a series of reversed-phase and normal-phase chromatographic columns with methanol-water mobile phases.     

Flow injection spectrofluorimetric determination of reserpine in tablets by on-line acetone sensitized photochemical reaction

On-line photochemical reaction of reserpine in the presence of acetone was investigated. Acetone was found to speed up the on-line photochemical conversion of reserpine into an intensively fluorescent compound. Not only reaction acidity but also the acetate buffer concentration affected the on-line photochemical induced fluorescence signal. Based on the observation an automated flow injection photochemical fluorimetric approach was developed. An injected sample zone was carried by a water stream to be merged with a acetate buffer (pH 3.4) solution containing 0.02% acetone in a knotted PTFE reactor (KR), which was freely coiled around a 6-W low pressure mercury lamp. While passing the KR, reserpine was transformed into an intensively fluorescent compound. It was on-line detected in a flow-through cell at the emission wavelength of 490 nm and excitation wavelength of 386 nm. At optimized conditions, a detection limit 0.45 mug l(-1) was achieved at a sampling rate of 90 h(-1). Eleven determinations of a 0.5 mg l(-1) reserpine standard solution gave a R.S.D. of 0.3%. The linear dynamic range of reserpine calibration curve was 0.01-0.75 mg l(-1). The proposed method was applied to assay the reserpine content in tablets and to monitor the dissolution profile of reserpine tablets. Satisfactory results were obtained for both the assays and dissolution studies.

The αPROX assay: fluorescence screening of the inhibitory effects of hydrophilic antioxidants on protein oxidation

We report on a new and convenient high-throughput fluorescence technique for determining antioxidant capacities of hydrophilic food samples. The new method is called αPROX (anti protein oxidation) and is based on an equimolar complex of diphenylhexatriene propionic acid (DPHPA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) in aqueous buffer at pH 7.4. DPHPA is a reporter fluorophore that becomes nonfluorescent upon free radical-induced oxidation. In a typical assay, the DPHPA/BSA complex is challenged with peroxyl radicals and shows almost the same susceptibility to oxidation as unlabeled BSA. The progress of protein oxidation and its inhibition by antioxidants at physiological pH is determined from the time-dependent decrease in DPHPA fluorescence intensity. The αPROX method was compared to other techniques frequently used to measure antioxidant capacities. In this article, representative results are provided for the inhibitory effects of pure food components, fruit juices, wines, and various polar plant extracts on protein oxidation.

Estimation of tetrahydro, dihydro and fully oxidised pterins by high-performance liquid chromatography using sequential electrochemical and fluorometric detection

A method is described for the separation and detection of tetrahydro, dihydro and fully oxidised pterins in a single chromatographic run using ion-pair reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Tetrahydropterins are detected by electrochemical oxidation, dihydropterins by fluorescence following post-column electrochemical oxidation and the fully oxidised pterins by their natural fluorescence. The post-column electrochemical conversion of the non-fluorescent dihydropterins to fluorescent compounds is proportional to the amount injected over three orders of magnitude. Because of the relative selectivity of the fluorescence detection and the low potential required to oxidise the tetrahydropterins, all the oxidation species of the pterins may be measured in biological samples with minimal sample clean-up.     

Application of tryptamine as a derivatising agent for airborne isocyanate determination. Part 3. Evaluation of total isocyanates analysis by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence and amperometric detection

Determination of total airborne isocyanates using tryptamine as the derivatising agent was investigated. Tryptamine derivatised isocyanates were analysed by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The column was equipped with dual detectors of fluorescence emission and amperometric oxidation. The characteristics of fluorescence emission and amperometric oxidation of tryptamine were retained even after its reaction with isocyanates. With this unique behaviour, all tryptamine derivatised isocyanates can be quantified using HPLC by employing a single, pure derivative, such as tryptamine derivatised hexamethylene diisocyanate as the calibration standard. This is especially important for analysing polymeric isocyanates when identical calibration standards are not always available. The applicability of this method for air sampling was evaluated by comparison with the established method of Bagon et al. involving 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazine. Simulation of air sampling was performed in a Test Atmosphere Generation System by the vaporisation of toluene diisocyanate. Satisfactory results were obtained, indicating the applicability of this technique for the determination of total airborne isocyanates.     

Minimizing analyte electrolysis in electrospray ionization mass spectrometry using a redox buffer coated emitter electrode

An emitter electrode with an electroactive poly(pyrrole) (PPy) polymer film coating was constructed for use in electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI‐MS). The PPy film acted as a surface‐attached redox buffer limiting the interfacial potential of the emitter electrode. While extensive oxidation of selected analytes (reserpine and amodiaquine) was observed in positive ion mode ESI using a bare metal (gold) emitter electrode, the oxidation was suppressed for these same analytes when using the PPy‐coated electrode. A semi‐quantitative relationship between the rate of oxidation observed and the interfacial potential of the emitter electrode was shown. The redox buffer capacity, and therefore the lifetime of the redox buffering effect, correlated with the oxidation potential of the analyte and with the magnitude of the film charge capacity. Online reduction of the PPy polymer layer using negative ion mode ESI between analyte injections was shown to successfully restore the redox buffering capacity of the polymer film to its initial state.

Violet light emitting diode-induced fluorescence detection combined with on-line sample concentration techniques for use in capillary electrophoresis

The first application of a violet light-emitting diode (LED) for fluorescence detection in capillary electrophoresis (CE) is described. The utility of violet LED (peak emission wavelength at 410 nm, approximately 2 mW) for fluorescence detection is demonstrated by examining reserpine and dopamine-labeled NDA (naphthalene-2,3-dicarboxaldehyde), respectively. The detection limit for reserpine was determined to be 2.5 x 10(-6) M by normal micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MEKC) and this was improved to 2.0 x 10(-9) M and 2.0 x 10(-10) M when sweeping-MEKC and cation-selective exhaustive injection (CSEI)-sweep-MEKC techniques were applied, respectively. In addition, the detection limit of NDA-labeled dopamine was determined to be 6.3 x 10(-6) M by means of normal MEKC and this was improved to 3.0 x 10(-8) M when the sweeping-MEKC mode was applied.

The calibration is linear over the manganese range 2-9 ng ml with a precision of +/-1%. The proposed method suffers from few interferences.
