A chemiluminometric method for NADPH and NADH using a two-enzyme bioreactor and its application to the determination of magnesium in serum

Chemiluminometric methods are described for the automated flow injection analysis of NADPH and NADH using an immobilized enzyme column reactor and serum magnesium. This application is for the clinical analysis of NADPH and NADH. The reactor for NADPH and NADH contains immobilized L-glutamate dehydrogenase and L-glutamate oxidase, and that for serum magnesium immobilized hexokinase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, L-glutamate dehydrogenase and L-glutamate oxidase. When the sample is introduced into the four-enzyme bioreactor, hydrogen peroxide is produced in proportion to the concentration of serum magnesium by the successive reactions. A co-immobilized hexokinase/glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase/glutamate dehydrogenase column reactor gave better efficiency compared with an enzyme column which was prepared by packing co-immobilized hexokinase/glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and immobilized glutamate dehydrogenase to make two layers. Magnesium in serum was determined with 1 microL of the sample without carry-over and for an assay time of approximately 15 s. The present method is sensitive (detection limit 0.1 nmol) because Mg2+ is recycled in a column, and gives perfect linearity of the data up to 3.0 mmol/L with satisfactory precision, reproducibility, and accurate reaction recoveries.     

Contributions to the basic problems of complexometry-XXVII. Influence of magnesium on masking of calcium with fluoride in the determination of manganese

Determination of manganese in the presence of calcium and magnesium after their masking with ammonium fluoride was reinvestigated. Normally such a determination gives low results caused by co-precipitation of manganese with calcium fluoride. It has been found that the co-precipitation is highest when magnesium is absent in the solution. With increasing concentration of magnesium ions co-precipitation of manganese decreases and at the ratio ca:Mg = 0.5-1 is entirely eliminated. An explanation of this phenomenon is discussed.

Determination of the precise composition of the triple sodium uranyl acetates of magnesium, zinc and nickel, and some observations on the use of the first two compounds for the determination of sodium

Three triple sodium uranyl acetates NaM(UO(2))(3)(CH(3) COO)(9) . nH(2)O in which the bivalent metals M were magnesium, zinc and nickel, have been precipitated and the air-dried compounds analysed for uranium by a highly precise method. Despite contrary claims it has been established that the compounds are precise hexahydrates the maximum deviation of n from 6 in any one analysis being 0.1. The precipitation of sodium as the magnesium or zinc compound gives results which depend on the excess of the reagents, and positive errors can be obtained. It is also concluded that, contrary to the usual belief, the magnesium compound is rather less soluble than the zinc one and is therefore somewhat more sensitive for sodium determination.     

Simultaneous determination of calcium and magnesium by derivative spectrophotometry in pharmaceutical products

First- and second-derivative spectrophotometric methods for the simultaneous determination of calcium and magnesium in their mixtures are described. The methods are based on the colored complexes formed by calcium and magnesium with bromopyrogallol red in presence of Tween 80 as a surfactant. The zero-crossing method has been utilized to measure the first- and second-derivative value of the derivative spectrum. Calcium (0.8-4.8microgml(-1)) is determined in the presence of magnesium (0.5-3.5microgml(-1)) at the pH 10 and vice versa at zero-crossing wavelengths of 544.5 and 570nm in the first-derivative procedure and 574 and 531nm in the second-derivative procedure, respectively. The detection limits achieved were 0.0575microgml(-1) of calcium and 0.03microgml(-1) of magnesium. The relative standard deviations were in all instances less than 2%. The proposed method has been applied to the simultaneous determination of calcium and magnesium in different samples: commercial multivitamin, human serum and drinking water where excellent agreement between reported and obtained results was achieved.     

Organosilicon compounds of the furan series. VI. Nitrogen- and sulfur-containing organosilicon derivatives of furan

Five new furfurylaminoorganylsilanes and furfurylaminoalkyltriorganylsilanes are synthesized by reacting furfurylamine with organylchlorosilanes, chloroalkyltriorganylsilanes, and triorganylhydrosilanes. Furfuraldoxime readily reacts with triorganylchlorosilanes in the presence of triethylamine to give O-triorganylsilyl substituted oximes. It is shown for the first time that in the presence of H₂PtCl₆ aldoximes undergo dehydrocondensation with triorganylsilanes, accompanied by reduction processes. Reaction of hexamethyldisilazane with pyromucamide gives the trimethylsilylamide. Pyromuconitrile and magnesium 3-(methyldiethylsilyl)propyl chloride gives 1-furyl-4-(methyldiethylsilyl)butanone-1. Reaction of organylchlorosilanes with furfurylmercaptan and sodium furfurylmercaptide permits synthesis of the first representatives of the sulfur-containing organosilicon derivatives of furan.Part V, see [1].

A rapid LC-MS-MS method for the determination of nicotine and cotinine in serum and saliva samples from smokers: validation and comparison with a radioimmunoassay method

The development and validation of a rapid liquid chromatography (LC)-tandem mass spectrometry (MS-MS) method for determination of nicotine and cotinine in smokers' serum is described. The method is based on solid-phase extraction in a 96-well plate format and requires only 100 microL of serum. Using normal-phase chromatography, both analytes elute in less than 1 min, which permits high sample throughput applications. The calibrated range is 2-100 ng/mL nicotine and 20-1,000 ng/mL cotinine. For known samples, recovery is 95-116% for nicotine and 93-94% for cotinine. The method is extended to rat serum and human saliva (cotinine only) using partial validation techniques. When compared with an existing radioimmunoassay method in our laboratory, the LC-MS-MS method gives improved accuracy, precision, and sample throughput.     

Spectrofluorimetric determination of tetracycline and anhydrotetracycline in serum and urine.

A spectrofluorimetric method, involving alkaline degradation and formation of a magnesium complex, is described for the determination of tetracycline (TC) and anhydrotetracycline (ATC) in their mixed solution. Tetracycline is degraded and determined in alkaline solution. This treatment of ATC produces almost no fluorescence, but a fluorescent magnesium complex forms at pH 7.5. Several synthetic samples of TC and ATC, with TC:ATC ratios ranging from 50:1 to 1:50, were analysed. The recoveries of TC and ATC are about 71-76 and 61-63% in serum, respectively, and are all about 100% in urine.

Microdetermination of magnesium in biological fluids

A modified procedure for the spectrophotometric determination of serum magnesium is described in which a direct addition of serum is made to a two-piece color reagent system. One solution contains an optimized concentration of the color reagent Magon, 1-azo-2-hydroxy-3-2-(2,4-dimethylcarboxanilido)-naphthalene-1′-(2-hydroxybenzene-5-sulfonate) sodium salt, in a dimethyl sulfoxide medium for binding magnesium and also EGTA, ethylene-bis(oxyethylenenitrilo)-tetraacetic acid, for binding calcium. The other is an alkaline solution of dilute cyanide to bind copper and iron and provide the optimum reaction pH. By means of these ingredients the simple procedure involves a reaction with serum magnesium while masking the interference of calcium and trace metals and allowing the reaction to take place without either separation or deproteinization steps. Optimized characteristics are shown for a linear reaction involving a variable reaction blank in the procedure where calcium is measured against a blank that is constant in its makeup. The linearity of the procedural reagent blank, with respect to its own concentration, helps attain the required linear results for the overall system and this is described by spectral studies.

Determination of 2,4,6-trichloroanisole in wines by headspace solid-phase microextraction and gas chromatography-electron-capture detection

The retention behaviour of alkaline earth cations was studied as a function of changing composition of acidified ethylenediamine eluent. The multiple eluent species retention model developed for separation of calcium, magnesium and strontium ions was utilized for determination of selectivity coefficients for sample and eluent ions. The suggested model accurately describes and predicts retention of analytes under elution conditions [0.5-2.0 mM C2H4(NH2)2 and pH 4-6] which are of practical importance. The results in three-dimensional retention surface with species distribution graphs are demonstrated. Complexometric titrations and ion chromatography (IC) were compared for the analysis of calcium and magnesium ions. Statistical data indicated that there was no evidence for relative differences between the two methods. However, IC gives several advantages over volumetric method.     

Regioselectivity in reactions of alkynylmetal complexes with pyrimidinones

Regioselectivity is observed in $\text{1}\text{1}$-adduct formation between phenylethynyltriisopropoxytitanium and 2(1/H)-pyrimidinones; the new carbon-carbon bond is formed at C(4). In contrast the 3,4- and 3,6-dihydro products are formed together from the corresponding magnesium and lithium reagents, but from the magnesium compound the major product is the 3,6-dihydro isomer. Ethynylmagnesium bromide gives equimolar amounts of the 3,4- and 3,6-dihydro isomers. Dehydrogenation of the products gives the alkynylated aromatic heterocycles.     

Spectrophotometric determination of etodolac in pure form and pharmaceutical formulations

Background

A routine method for the quantification of beryllium in biological fluids is essential for the development of a chelation therapy for Chronic Beryllium Disease (CBD). We describe a procedure for the direct determination of beryllium in undigested micro quantities of human blood and serum using graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. Blood and serum samples are prepared respectively by a simple 8-fold and 5-fold dilution with a Nash Reagent. Three experimental setups are compared: using no modifier, using magnesium nitrate and using palladium/citric acid as chemical modifiers.

Results

In serum, both modifiers did not improve the method sensitivity, the optimal pyrolysis and atomization temperatures are 1000°C and 2900°C, respectively. In blood, 6 μg of magnesium nitrate was found to improve the method sensitivity. The optimal pyrolysis and atomization temperatures were 800°C and 2800°C respectively.

Conclusion

In serum, the method detection limit was 2 ng l^-1, the characteristic mass was 0.22 (± 0.07) pg and the accuracy ranged from 95 to 100%. In blood, the detection limit was 7 ng l^-1, the characteristic mass was 0.20 (± 0.02) pg and the accuracy ranged from 99 to 101%.     

Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometric Analysis of Condensed Phosphates by a Flow Detector Connected with a Gel Chromatographic Column

Abstract

An atomic absorption flow detector combined with a gel chromatographic column (Sephadex G-25) gives a sensitive and quantitative method of determining various condensed phosphates such as diphosphate, tri-phosphate, tetraphosphate and Kurrol's salt. This method is based on the automatic recording of atomic absorption at the resonance line of magnesium due to magnesium complexes of condensed phosphates which are produced during the elution of condensed phosphate anions through the column pre-equilibrated with a magnesium chloride solution.

Determination of Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate in Cosmetic Bleaching Products Using a Disposable Screen-Printed Carbon Electrode

A preanodized screen-printed carbon electrode is used for the determination of magnesium ascorbyl phosphate in cosmetic bleaching products. The preanodization process exhibits a marked enhancement of the current response of magnesium ascorbyl phosphate at the screen-printed carbon electrode. The linear range is up to 240 (correlation coefficient = 0.999) in pH 2.0 citrate buffer with a detection limit (S/N = 3) of 0.33 μM. The electrode has the advantages of low cost and easy of handling and can be either disposable or reused since the renewal gives a good reproducible surface. Quantitative analysis was performed by the standard addition method for magnesium ascorbyl phosphate content in cosmetic products.
