A flow-injection chemiluminescence （CL） method for the determination of melatonin based on the CL reaction of melatonin with hydrogen peroxide and sodium hypochlorite （NaOCl） in a basic alkaline solution was developed. The possible CL mechanism has been discussed, and a proposal for the reaction pathway was given that singlet oxygen was clarified to be produced in this reaction system and was responsible for the CL emission. Under the optimized conditions, the linear concentration range of application was 1.0×10^-7-2.5 × 10^-4 moloL-I with a de- tection limit of 5.0 ×10^-8 moloL-1 （S/N= 3）. The relative standard deviation for eight repeated measurements of 1.0×10^-6 mol·L^-1 melatonin was 2.8%. The interferences of several important biological substances, some indole compound, cations and anions were studied. No interference was found for the anions, glucose, starch, most of cations and low concentration （less than 3.0 × 10^-6 mol·L^-1） of some biological substances and indole compound. The method was applied to the determination of melatonin in rat pineal gland and drug with satisfactory results. The sample throughput was 90 injections per hour.

A Study on the Interaction of the DAS-K with Bovine Serum Albumin by On-line Ultrafiltration and Chemiluminescence

Potassium dehydroandrographolide succinate （DAS-K） has antibacterial and antiviral effects. It has been used widely for the treatment of virus pneumonia, malaria and respiratory infections. In this work, a novel flow-injection chemiluminescence （CL） method for the determination of DAS-K was proposed.

Under the optimum conditions, the concentration of DAS-K is proportional to the CL intensity in the range of 0.1-80 μmol·L^-1 with a detection limit of 0.05 μmol·L^-1. The interaction of the DAS-K with bovine serum albumin by on-line ultrafiltration and flow-injection chemiluminescence was studied. The concentrations of unbound DAS-K from ultra filter tube were determined by the flow-injection CL method. The binding parameters were estimated by the Scatchard plot and Klotz plot. The proposed system proved that FIA-CL coupled with on-line ultrafiltration sampling was a fast and simple technique for the study of drug-protein interaction.

A cobalt hexacyanoferrate （CoHCF） nanoparticle （size ca. 60 nm） chemically modified electrode （CME） was fabricated and the electrochemical behavior of hemoglobin （Hb） at this nanosized CoHCF CME was studied. In comparison with a bare glassy carbon electrode （GCE） and a general CoHCF CME electrodeposited in a traditional manner, the present nanosized CoHCF CME performed efficiently electrocatalytic reduction for Hb with relatively high sensitivity, stability, and longlife, Combined with liquid chromatography （LC）, the nanosized CoHCF CME was used as the electrochemical detector of Hb in the established flow injection analysis-electrochemical determination （FIA-ECD） system. The peak current was a linear function of concentrations in the range from 2.5×10^-8 to 5.0×10^-6mol/L for Hb, with detection limit of 1.4×10^-8 mol/L. The FIA-ECD system has been successfully applied to assess the Hb content of clinic blood samples with advantages of sensitiveness, speediness, easy control and small sample-consumption.

A simple and sensitive spectroelectrochemistry method for the determination of vitamin K 3 was developed by combining electrolysis and fluoremetry. This method was based on that vitamin K 3 was reduced at a glassy carbon electrode, and its product with characteristic fluorescence at 420 nm was determined with excitation wavelength at 309 nm. Under optimized electrochemical reaction conditions and fluorescent experiment parameters, the fluores-cence intensity was proportional to the concentration of vitamin K 3 in a range from 3.50×10 ?7 to 1.05×10 ?5 mol/L with a correlation coefficient of 0.9991, and detection limit was estimated to be 7.50×10 ?8 mol/L at a signal/noise ra-tio of 3. The relative standard deviation was less than 4.3%(n=5) and the recovery was in a range of 97%―105% for the determination of vitamin K 3 in pharmaceutical preparations. The result is satisfactory for the determination of vi-tamin K 3 as comparison to that from HPLC method.

The electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of luminol in aqueous alkaline solution was studied.Trace amounts of chloride showed significant effect on the efficiency of light emission of luminol as a posi-tive trigonometrical wave pulse was exerted on the solution. The detection limit for the chloride is5.0 ×10~(-6) mol/L and the linear calibration range extends up to 1.0 ×10~(-2) mol/L; the relative standarddeviation for 1.0 ×10~(-5) mol / L chloride is 5%. The influencing factors for chloride determination arealso discussed. The possible mechanism for the electrochemiluminescence reaction may be due to theoxidation of chloride ion in the solution to ClO~-, and the latter acts on luminol and then gives outluminescence. The method has been applied to determine the total chloride in tap water with satisfactoryresults.     

Trace determination of cobalt ion by using malic acid-malonic acid double substrate oscillating chemical system

A novel kinetic method for determination of trace amounts of cobalt ion was proposed and validated. The method is based on adding malic acid into classical Belousov-Zhabotinskii （B-Z） oscillating chemical system to form a double substrate one. The results showed that when the concentration of cobalt ion was in the range of 5.27× 10^-8 to 5.37 × 10^-12 mol L^-1, the change of the oscillating period was directly proportional to the negative logarithm of cobalt ion concentration. The sensitivity and precision of the developed method were quite satisfactory. The limit of detection was down to 5.20 × 10^-13 mol L^-1 which was a highest sensitivity found for determination of metal ions using oscillating chemical reaction so far. Some factors influencing the determination were also examined. The method has been successfully used to determine cobalt ion in vitamin B12 injection.

Flow Injection Chemiluminescence Determination of Puerarin in Pharmaceutical Preparations Using Eosin Y‐Fenton System

A novel chemiluminescence (CL) system was established for the determination of puerarin in pharmaceutical preparations. It was shown that a strong CL signal was observed when Eosin Y reacted with the hydroxyl radicals which were generated from Fenton reagent in acidic medium. The CL intensity was decreased significantly when puerarin was added to the reaction system and partially scavenged the hydroxyl radicals in the solution. The extent of decrease in the CL intensity had a good stoichiometrical relationship with puerarin concentration. Based on this, a new method for the determination of puerarin using a flow injection chemiluminescence technique was developed. The experimental parameters that affected the CL intensity were optimized. Under the optimal conditions, the linear range for puerarin concentration was 8.0×10^?8?2.0×10^?6 mol/L (R=0.9982) with a detection limit of 7.5×10^?9 mol/L (S/N=3) and the relative standard deviation was 1.7% for 4.0×10^?7 mol/L puerarin (n=11). The proposed method was applied to the determination of puerarin in a puerarin injection with satisfactory results.

A novel chemiluminescence (CL) system was established for the determination of diammonium glycyrrhizinate (DG) in pharmaceutical preparations and its ability of scavenging hydroxyl radical. It was shown that a strong CL signal was observed when Eosin Y mixed with Fenton reagent. The CL intensity was decreased significantly when DG was added to the reaction system and partially scavenged the hydroxyl radicals in the solution.

A Sensitive Photoinduced Chemiluminescence Method for the Determination of Riboflavin with Flow Injection Analysis

ABSTRACT

A sensitive chemiluminescence (CL) induced by light for the determination of riboflavin with flow injection analysis is developed. Riboflavin shows a strong enhancement effect on the CL reaction of luminol oxidized by periodate after the photochemical reaction of riboflavin in alkaline solution, and the enhancing effect of riboflavin disappears under dark conditions. Oxygen can further improve the enhancing effect of the riboflavin in this CL system, and the effects were also investigated. And based on this phenomenon, a very sensitive method of various surfactants, β-cyclodextrin and organic solvents on this CL system for the determination of riboflavin was described. The range of the linear response for riboflavin using this method is ca. 2.4×10^?8 ~ 1.0 × 10^?6 mol/L, and the detection limit (S/N = 3) is l.0×10^?8 mol/L. The applicability of the method was demonstrated by the determination of riboflavin in pharmaceutical preparation.     

Sensitive Determination of Prulifloxacin by Its Fluorescence Enhancement on Terbium(III)–Sodium Dodecylbenzene Sulfonate System

Abstract

A terbium-sensitized fluorescence spectrophotometry method using an anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl benzene sulphonate (SDBS), was developed for the determination of prulifloxacin (PUFX). It was found that SDBS significantly enhanced the fluorescence intensity of the PUFX–Tb³⁺ complex (about 13-fold). The optimal experimental conditions were determined as follows: excitation and emission wavelengths of 290 nm and 545 nm, pH 8.0, 4.0 × 10^?5 mol L^?1 terbium(III), and 4.0 × 10^?4 mol L^?1 SDBS. The enhanced fluorescence intensity of the system (ΔF) showed a good linear relationship with the concentration of PUFX over the range 6.0 × 10^?8 to 2.0 × 10^?6mol L^?1 with a correlation coefficient of 0.9991. The detection limit (S/N = 3) was determined as 8.5 × 10^?9 mol L^?1. This method has been successfully applied for the determination of PUFX in pharmaceuticals and human urine/serum samples. Compared with most other methods reported, the rapid and simple procedure proposed here offered higher sensitivity, wider linear range, and good stability. The luminescence mechanism of the system was also discussed in detail. In the fluorescence system of PUFX–Tb³⁺–SDBS, SDBS acted not only as the surfactant but also as the energy donor.

The method was applied to the determination of albumin in human serum samples, and the results were in agreement with those obtained by the bromcresol green method. The relative errors for the analytical results were from ?2.0% to 4.3%.
