Plant polyphenols are naturally occurring secondary plant metabolites, synthesized in response to environmental stress factors. As anti-oxidants and free-radical scavengers they serve as essential components of the human diet. Among polyphenols well studied representatives are the trans-resveratrol and trans-piceid molecules, the latter being the glycoside of trans-resveratrol. trans-Resveratrol is known to have anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, cardio- and vasoprotective effects which help in the prevention of chronic cardiovascular and tumorous diseases.
In the present study, 42 Hungarian wines were analyzed using LC-DAD detection. The wines were from Villány and Eger wine regions representing three wineries from 2003 to 2007 vintage years. The trans-resveratrol amount in the processed wines ranged from 0.75 to 10.4 mg mL−1 and for trans-piceid from 0.1 to 3.7 mg mL−1.
相似文献A rapid and simple method for the determination of propionylbrassinolide residues in tomatoes, apples and grapes using GC–MS is reported. Samples were extracted with acetonitrile, and the extracts were analyzed without any further clean-up. The results showed good linearity (r 2 > 0.99) with standard solutions over the concentration range of 0.5–50 mg L−1. The LODs and LOQs of propionylbrassinolide were 0.15 and 0.5 mg kg−1 in all samples. Recoveries were in the range of 81.9–111.2%, with corresponding RSDs of 4.6–12.9% for three fortified levels. Intra- and inter-day RSDs were in the ranges of 1.5–14.2% and 5.3–15.6%. It was demonstrated that the proposed method is simple and efficient, and particularly suitable for detecting propionylbrassinolide residues in fruit and vegetables.
相似文献Hydrogen cyanamide is a plant-growth regulator used on fruit crops, and has a high toxicity. In this study, a simple and sensitive method for detecting hydrogen cyanamide in fruit was developed. In the proposed method, cyanamide was extracted with water from homogenized fruit samples (grape, kiwi, and peach). The extract was purified through twice liquid–liquid extraction. Then, the purified extract was derivatized with 6-aminoquinolyl-N-hydroxysuccinimidyl carbamate. Finally, the cyanamide derivative was analyzed using HPLC with fluorescence detection. This method was validated at 2, 0.2, and 0.01 mg kg−1 cyanamide. The recovery rates were between 87.1 and 96.6 %, and the intraday and interday reproducibilities were within 1.8 and 2.2 %, respectively. The limits of detection and quantification were 2.4 and 8 μg kg−1 cyanamide, respectively. This method was applied to explore the residue degradation of cyanamide in the field. The results show that the half-life of cyanamide residues on grapes was <2.0 days. Compared with the previous methods, this simple method is sensitive and can be applied for detecting cyanamide in a wide range of fruits.
相似文献A new method involving matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) extraction and UPLC in conjunction with photodiode array detection was developed for the rapid and simple determination of Sudan dyes in chili powder. Separation of Sudan I, Sudan II, Sudan III, and Sudan IV was achieved within 2 min on the 1.7 μm Acquity UPLC BEH C18 column by using gradient elution with a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile–water at a flow rate of 0.5 mL min−1. Optimization of MSPD extraction parameters, such as type of solid sorbent and elution solvent were carried out. Optimal conditions selected for MSPD extraction were 0.25 g of sample, 0.5 g of silica gel as solid sorbent, and 7 mL of acetonitrile–methanol (9:1, v/v) as eluting solvent. Limits of detection ranged between 0.25 and 0.30 mg kg−1 depending on the dye involved. All analytes provided average recoveries from spiked (at 1, 1.5, and 2 mg kg−1) chili powder samples ranging from 81 to 106%. The method was applied to the analysis of chili powder samples obtained from different countries.
相似文献Stereoselective CE method for investigations of pharmacokinetics of ketoprofen enantiomers (KTP) in patients taking also other drugs is proposed, to establish relation between levels of KTP enantiomers in blood and synovial fluid of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Resolution of the analytes was obtained in silica capillary filled with chiral selector-heptakis 2,3,6-tri-O-methyl–β-cyclodextrin in triethanolamine-phosphate buffer. Calibration curves for enantiomers in plasma and synovial fluid were linear in the range of 0.25–50.0 mg L−1, but 1.0–250.0 mg L−1 in urine. Concentrations of KTP enantiomers in synovial fluid measured at 4 h after the administration of a tablet with racemic KTP were insignificantly greater [(−)-R = 1.07 ± 0.66; (+)-S-KTP = 1.13 ± 0.65 mg L−1] than in plasma [(−)-R = 0.86 ± 0.37; (+)-S-KTP = 0.96 ± 0.42 mg L−1]. The validated method has been successfully applied for the determination of KTP enantiomers in biological fluids of patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
相似文献A method based on capillary electrophoresis with amperometric detection has been developed for the determination of trans-resveratrol, scirpusin A, scirpusin B, and p-hydroxycinnamic acid in the rhizomes of Scirpus yagara Ohwi. The effects of the acidity and the concentration of the running buffer, separation voltage, injection time, and detection potential were investigated to acquire the optimum conditions. The detection electrode was a 300 μm diameter carbon disc electrode at a detection potential of +0.90 V. The four analytes could be well separated within 12 min in a 40 cm length fused silica capillary at a separation voltage of 12 kV in a 50 mM borate buffer (pH 9.2). The relation between peak current and analyte concentration was linear over about three orders of magnitude with detection limits (S/N = 3) ranging from 32.2 to 63.4 μg L−1 for the four analytes.
相似文献Marijuana (non-medical cannabis) is a well-recognized psychoactive herbal drug used for recreational purposes. The aim of this work is to describe and compare the performance and suitability of selected methods to analyze pesticide residues in marijuana. The fitness of three typical pesticide multiresidue methods [acetate buffered QuEChERS (method A), a modified citrate buffered QuEChERS (method B) and citrate buffered QuEChERS (method C)] were tested in marijuana through the LC–MS/MS determination of 61 LC amenable pesticides. Considering recoveries at the highest level for the selected pesticides in marijuana, from the 61 target analytes, 37 (method A), 40 (method B) and 46 (method C) compounds gave accurate results (70–120 % range). Method C showed the best performance for the target analytes in terms of recoveries, precision, limits of quantitation and matrix effect. Marijuana showed to be a highly complex matrix. Most analytes suffered high signal suppression (ME <−50 %) for method B while medium (−50 to 20 %) to low (−20 to 0 %) signal suppression was found for methods A and C. Moreover, high coelution of coextractives with the target analytes was observed. A pilot survey with real samples revealed that seized and legally produced marijuana samples contained pesticides. Residues of diazinon (0.03 mg kg−1), tebuconazole (0.19 mg kg−1) and teflubenzuron (0.11 mg kg−1) were simultaneously detected in one marijuana sample. The establishment of MRLs in a legal consumption scenario such as in Uruguay seems to be necessary in the near future.
相似文献A sensitive and simple method based on two-phase liquid-phase microextraction in porous hollow fiber followed by gas chromatography-flame ionization detection was developed for quantification and pharmacokinetic study of valproic acid (VPA, an antiepileptic drug) in rat plasma after oral administration of pure sodium valproate (25 mg kg−1). Some parameters such as type of organic solvent, pH of sample solution, stirring speed, salt addition, extraction time, and volume of sample that affected extraction efficiency of VPA were optimized. Under optimized microextraction conditions, VPA was extracted with 10 μL 1-octanol from 0.5 mL rat plasma previously diluted with 4.5 mL acidified and salinated water (pH 2) using 1-octanoic acid as internal standard. The limit of detection was 17 ng mL−1 with linear response over the concentration range of 50–10,000 ng mL−1 with correlation coefficient higher than 0.998. The developed method was successfully applied to determination of pharmacokinetic parameters such as t max (peak time in concentration–time profile), C max (peak concentration in concentration–time profile), t 1/2 (elimination half-life), AUC0–t (area under the curve for concentration versus time), clearance, and apparent distribution volume in rats following oral administration of VPA.
相似文献Solid-phase extraction (SPE) and reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RP-LC) have been used for simple, sensitive simultaneous analysis of cyromazine and melamine residues in liquid milk and eggs. The conditions used for SPE and LC were investigated and optimized. A combined cation-exchange–reversed-phase cartridge was used for clean-up, and an ODS (C18) column (150 mm × 4.6 mm i.d., 5-μm particles) with 62:38 (v/v) 5 mm sodium lauryl sulfate (pH 3.4)–acetonitrile as mobile phase was used for RP-LC. Under the optimum conditions the method limit of detection (LOD) for both cyromazine and melamine was 6.2 μg kg−1 for liquid milk samples, and 11.5 μg kg−1 for egg samples. Average recovery of cyromazine and melamine from milk samples was 90.3%, RSD 4.6–5.6%, and 99.6%, RSD 3.2–4.7%, respectively. Average recovery of cyromazine and melamine from egg samples was 85.3%, RSD 1.0–4.7%, and 89.6%, RSD 3.1–5.0%, respectively. The method enables detection of melamine and cyromazine at levels as low as 20.7 μg kg−1 in liquid milk and 38.3 μg kg−1 in egg.
相似文献A method of capillary electrophoresis with electrogenerated chemiluminescence was developed for the detection of spectinomycin. The linear ranges were from 0.01 to 1.0 mg mL−1 for spectinomycin. The limit of detection for spectinomycin with a signal-to-noise ratio of 3:1 was found to be 4.0 µg mL−1. For practical application perchloric acid was used to eliminate the protein contained in human urine, which is very harmful to electrophoresis separation. The recoveries of spectinomycin at different levels in human urine were between 91.1 and 106.5%. The RSD was between 2.6 and 4.8% (n = 5–6). It was valuable in clinical and biochemical laboratories for monitoring the drug for various purposes.
相似文献Zeolite NaY modified with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) was considered for extraction/preconcentration of carbamate pesticides using an on-line SPE-HPLC system. The simultaneous determination of carbamate pesticides, including aldicarb, carbofuran, carbaryl, isoprocarb, methiocarb and promecarb, was performed by HPLC–UV using a LichroCART RP-18 column with gradient elution of methanol and 0.1 % acetic acid. The sorbent presented admicelles of CTAB on its surfaces and exhibited a sorption capacity of 180–18,600 mg kg−1 sorbent, which could be re-modified for at least five extraction cycles. The quantitative retention of target pesticides on the admicellar sorbent involved hydrophobic and π-cation interaction, while pesticides were eluted from the admicellar SPE column using only 750 μL of methanol. LODs and LOQs of the proposed method were 0.005–140 and 0.02–600 μg L−1, respectively. The analytes were effectively concentrated with the enrichment factors between 5 and 551. The developed on-line admicellar SPE-HPLC system was successfully applied to the determination of carbamate pesticides in ten environmental water samples from different sources. Recoveries of spiked samples at a concentration of 0.1–5 mg L−1 ranged from 77 to 111 %.
相似文献An LC method was developed for determination of mangiferin in rat plasma and tissues after oral administration of Rhizoma Anemarrhenae extract. Analysis was performed on a Gemini C18 analytical column (250 × 4.6 mm, i.d.) with mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile–water (23:77, v/v) with 1% acetic acid and 1% tetrahydrofuran at a flow rate of 0.7 mL min−1. Spinosin was used as internal standard and UV detector was set at 320 nm. The calibration curve of mangiferin in rat plasma and tissues showed excellent linear behaviors over the investigated concentration ranges with the value of R 2 higher than 0.994. The within-day and between-day precisions for all samples were measured to be below 11.0%. The limit of quantitation was low enough for determination of mangiferin in all samples. After Rhizoma Anemarrhenae extract was orally administered to rats, the main pharmacokinetic parameters of mangiferin T max, C max, T 0.5α , T 0.5β , AUC0 − T and Vc were 4.20 h, 9.52 μg mL−1, 1.21 h, 1.71 h, 29.9 mg h L−1 and 0.18 L kg−1, respectively. Mangiferin was extensively distributed in most of the main tissues of rats. This validated method has been successfully applied to preliminary pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution study of mangiferin in rats.
相似文献A new technique, namely dynamic headspace liquid-phase microextraction, has been developed for the extraction of 1,4-dioxane in cosmetic and hygiene samples followed by gas chromatography–flame ionization detection. In this method, the sample is mixed with acetone as a diluent solvent. Then, a few microliters of n-octanol are added into a home-made extraction vessel placed in the headspace of the sample. By heating, the target analyte is transferred to the headspace of the sample and then extracted into n-octanol. Under the optimized conditions, the method showed a good linearity in the range of 3.24–1000 μg kg−1 with a coefficient of determination 0.998. Figures of merit such as enrichment factor of 375, extraction recovery of 94 %, limits of detection and quantification 0.97 and 3.24 μg kg−1, respectively, and relative standard deviation 4.7 % (n = 6, C = 30 μg kg−1) of the proposed method were satisfactory for determination of the target analyte. Finally, the method was successfully applied in determination of 1,4-dioxane in various cosmetic and hygiene samples including shampoo, toothpaste, lotion, washing liquid, and dishwashing liquid.
相似文献A rapid and sensitive UFLC–MS/MS method was developed for the simultaneous determination of liguzinediol and its four primary metabolites (M1, M2, M3, and M4) in rat plasma using antipyrine as internal standards. The analytes were separated on an XR-ODS column (50 mm × 2.0 mm, 2.2 μm) using 0.1 % formic acid–methanol gradient elution at a flow rate of 0.5 mL·min−1. The detection was performed on a triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer in a multiple reaction monitoring mode with positive electrospray ionization. Method validation was performed as per the Food and Drug Administration guidelines. The resulting calibration curves offered satisfactory linearity (r > 0.9993) with the set ranges. The limits of quantification for liguzinediol, M1, M2, M3, and M4 were 20, 20, 21, 27, and 10 ng mL−1, respectively. The recovery rates in different matrices ranged from 91.2 to 114.1 %, and the inter-day and intra-day precisions were all less than 13.4 % for the target analytes. After validation, this method was successfully applied to further study pharmacokinetics profiles of liguzinediol and its metabolites after intravenous administration of 10 mg·kg−1 in male and female rats.
相似文献Lignans, carboxylic acids and sugars were determined by gas chromatography (GC) with mass selective detection, the lignans also by high-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection in the leaf extracts of four species and four cultivars of Forsythia plant. Three methods were used to optimize the extraction of the main lignan constituents (arctiin, arctigenin), which possess significant pharmaceutical effects. Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) proved to be the most efficient method compared to sonication and refluxation. The total lignan content of the leaves varied from 31.6 (F. ovata ‘Tetragold’) to 113.8 mg g−1 (F. ovata ‘Robusta’).
