Study of high-performance liquid chromatographic separation of selected herbicides by hydro-methanolic and micellar liquid chromatography using Genapol X-080 non-ionic surfactant as mobile phase constituent

Chromatographic behaviour of six selected herbicides (chlortoluron, metoxuron, chloridazon, simazine, propazine and atrazine) was studied by reversed-phase (RP) high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) containing Genapol X-080 non-ionic surfactant as methanol/water mobile phase constituent. The concentration of methanol was changed from 50 to 0% (v/v) for constant 2% (v/v) concentration of the surfactant. The surfactant concentration in purely aqueous micellar mobile phase varied from 1 to 5% (v/v) what is approximately 360-1800 times above the CMC. Within this concentration range Genapol X-080 proves concentration dependent selectivity changes for chlortoluron/atrazine critical pair not occurred in hydro-methanolic mobile phases. Further studies revealed that this chromatographic system offers high compatibility with cloud-point extraction environmental sample pretreatment approaches using Genapol X-080 for the purpose, too.     

Determination of polyphenol components in herbal medicines by micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography with Tween 20

A simple and convenient method of micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MEKC) using polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate (Tween 20) to form single micelle and methanol as a buffer additive was introduced for the simultaneous determination of five polyphenols, including scopoletin, rutin, esculetin, chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid. A running buffer solution of pH 9.3, 20 mmol/L sodium tetraborate containing 64 mmol/L Tween 20 and 9% (v/v) methanol was adopted in the separation. Because rutin and esculetin were difficult to be separated by capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) and SDS-based MEKC, Tween 20-based MEKC was adopted and the polyphenols were separated satisfactorily. The proposed method was used to determine the polyphenol components in the herbal medicine of Cortex fraxini. The separation mechanism of Tween 20-based MEKC for the polyphenols was discussed preliminarily.     

Determination of ethinylestradiol and gestodene in oral contraceptives by micellar electrokinetic chromatography

Summary A micellar electrokinetic chromatographic method is presented which permits quantification of ethinylestradiol and gestodene in pharmaceutical products. Separation was carried out at 25°C and 25 KV, using a 20 mM borate buffer (pH 9.2), 15 mM sodium dodecylsulfate in 30% acetonitrile-water (v/v). Under these conditions analyses were carried out in 7 min. Four different oral contraceptives were analysed and the results compared favourably with those of a reference liquid chromatographic method.     

Determination of doxycycline in pharmaceuticals and human urine by micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography

Micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MEKC) was performed at 25 °C and 30 kV (under a pressure of 15 mbar), using 30 mM borate buffer containing 60 mM sodium dodecysulfate (SDS) and 5% (v/v) methanol as background electrolyte (pH 9.0) to determine doxycycline.

The method was used to determine doxycycline in tablets, capsules and human urine after oral application.

Determination of nicotinyl pesticide residues in vegetables by micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography with quantum dot indirect laser-induced fluorescence

A new assay was developed by use of micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography with indirect LIF fluorescence for the determination of thiamethoxam, acetamiprid, and imidacloprid residues in vegetables, in which the cadmium telluride quantum dots (QDs) synthesized in aqueous phase were used as fluorescent background substance and their excitation and emission wavelengths matched with LIF detector by engineering their size. The factors that affected the peak height and the resolution were optimized. The running buffer was composed of 4.4 μM cadmium telluride QDs as fluorescent background substance, 40 mM borate and 60 mM SDS, and its pH was adjusted to 8.0. The separation voltage was 25 kV. Under the optimum conditions, the detection limits were 0.05, 0.01, and 0.009 mg/kg; the linear dynamic ranges were 0.5-30, 0.1-30, and 0.1-30 mg/L; and the average recoveries of spiked samples were 72.0-101.2, 74.0-106.7, and 77.8-105.1% for thiamethoxam, acetamiprid, and imidacloprid, respectively. The assay can meet the requirement of maximum residue limits to these three pesticides in the regulations of European Union and Japan, and has been applied for determining their residues in vegetables.

The use of micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MECC) with electrochemical detection is described for the determination of puerarin and daidzein in Puerariae radix and its medicinal preparations. Operated in a wall-jet configuration, a 300 μm diameter carbon-disk electrode was used as the working electrode, which exhibits good responses at +900 mV (versus SCE) for the two analytes. Under the optimum conditions, the analytes were base-line separated within 11 min in a sodium dodecyl sulphate—borax (pH 7.8) running buffer, and excellent linearity was obtained in the concentration range from 5.0×10⁻⁴ to 5.0×10⁻⁶ mol/l. The detection limit (S/N=3) was 6×10⁻⁷ and 1.1×10⁻⁶ mol/l for puerarin and daidzein, respectively. This work provides a useful method for the analysis of traditional Chinese medicines.
