Determination of cortisol in guinea pig urine by high performance thin-layer chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography, and thin-layer chromatography/radioimmunoassay

Summary In order to collect urinary samples from unrestrained guinea pigs, animals were kept in their familiar home cages with wood shavings for bedding. Cortisol was removed from shavings by a simple washing step, and an attempt was made to measure its concentrations by high performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), or thin layer chromatography/radioimmunoassay (TLC-RIA). After intramuscular administration of 25 mg cortisol, cortisol excretion increased from about 20–30 μg/day to 400–500 μg/day (HPTLC: 531 μg/day, HPLC: 493 μg/day; TLC-RIA: 394 μg/day). Similarly, the treatment of the animals with 20 IU ACTH resulted in an augmented cortisol excretion, with mean values of 294 μg/day (HPTLC), 256 μg/day (HPLC) and 143 μg/day (TLC-RIA), respectively. The present study shows, for the first time, that cortisol excretion in unrestrained laboratory animals can be determined. Whilst the cortisol values measured by HPTLC and HPLC agree, the amounts measured by TLC-RIA were significantly lower. These differences are probably due to the presence of substances in urine or shavings which interfere with the radioimmunological determination. Hence, cortisol should be determined either by HPTLC or HPLC. Beside having a desirable specificity, these methods are more suited than TLC/RIA for steroid analysis since they confer the possibility of measuring additional steroids (e.g. precursors and/or metabolites of cortisol) in a single urine extract. This is especially the case for the HPTLC method since substances can be transformed into fluorescent derivatives.

Preliminary results for 2‐D separation with high‐performance thin‐layer chromatography and pressurized planar electrochromatography

Preliminary results of 2‐D separation of test dye mixture using high‐performance thin‐layer chromatography (HPTLC) and pressurized planar electrochromatography (PPEC) are demonstrated. The advantage of 2‐D HPTLC/PPEC separation is based on different separation selectivities obtained in both HPTLC and PPEC systems. HPTLC RP18 W plates of 5×20 cm from Merck were used in the investigations. In the first dimension, a HPTLC process was performed using 5 cm length of the plate and in the second dimension PPEC separation was obtained applying plate of 20 cm length. PPEC process followed prewetting the chromatographic plate with sample zones on it, which were partly separated after first dimensional (HPTLC) separation. In the experiments, the modified version of PPEC device for 20 cm long chromatographic plate and the reservoir for prewetting the adsorbent layer were applied.

液相色谱塔板高度方程的统一形式

研究了色谱分离过程中物质的径向扩散和流动相发热对柱效能的影响。从热传导方程出发,运用色谱过程动力学原理推导了包括考虑流动相径向扩散、色谱柱发热影响的液相色谱塔板高度方程：

该方程概括了高效液相色谱（HPLC）、超高效液相色谱（UPLC）、毛细管电色谱（CEC）和消滞留层液相色谱（ESFLC）塔板高度与各种因素的关系。方程最后一项代表了径向扩散和柱发热对塔板高度的贡献。当流动相线速度较低且柱内径较细时,流动相摩擦生热和径向扩散对塔板高度的贡献趋近于零,塔板高度方程还原成Horvath和Lin的方程;当流动相线速度较高时,由于流动相摩擦生热,柱轴心与边缘温差增加,导致流动相线速度径向分布差异,使得柱效率降低。柱轴心与边缘的温差与流动相线速度平方成正比。该文指出,在流动相高线速度情况下,液相色谱的柱效率与柱内径密切相关,采用细内径柱有利于实现高速与高效率;过高的流动相线速度将导致色谱柱效率崩溃。

Combination of different liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry technologies for the identification of transformation products of rhodamine B in groundwater

Rhodamine B and its five de‐ethylated transformation products could be identified in a groundwater sample. Using high‐performance thin‐layer chromatography (HPTLC) six fluorescent zones were detected in the sample. In order to identify the compounds in the zones by exact mass mass spectrometry (MS) measurements and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), they were extracted from the HPTLC plate for subsequent analysis by nano‐chip high‐performance liquid chromatography quadrupole‐time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (nano‐chip HPLC/QTOFMS). In addition, chemical derivatisation experiments on HPTLC plates were applied to detect the presence of a primary amino group in the transformation products. From the combined analytical results it was possible to allocate rhodamine B and its five de‐ethylated transformation products to the six different HPTLC zones. The quantification of rhodamine B in different groundwater samples was carried out by a high‐performance liquid chromatography/triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS/MS). The maximum detected concentration of rhodamine B was 83 µg L^?1. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Stability Indicating HPTLC and LC Determination of Dasatinib in Pharmaceutical Dosage Form

Two sensitive and reproducible methods are described for the quantitative determination of dasatinib in the presence of its degradation products. The first method was based on high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) followed by densitometric measurements of their spots at 280 nm. The separation was on HPTLC aluminium sheets of silica gel 60 F₂₅₄ using toluene:chloroform (7.0:3.0, v/v). This system was found to give compact spots for dasatinib after development (R _F value of 0.23 ± 0.02). The second method was based on high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) of the drug from its degradation products on reversed phase, PerfectSil column [C₁₈ (5 μm, 25 cm × 4.6 mm, i.d.)] at ambient temperature using mobile phase consisting of methanol:20 mM ammonium acetate with acetic acid (45:55, v/v) pH 3.0 and retention time (t _R = 8.23 ± 0.02 min). Both separation methods were validated as per the ICH guidelines. No chromatographic interference from the tablet excipients was found. Dasatinib was subjected to acid–alkali hydrolysis, oxidation, dry heat, wet heat and photo-degradation. The drug was susceptible to acid–alkali hydrolysis and oxidation. The drug was found to be stable in neutral, wet heat, dry heat and photo-degradation conditions. As the proposed analytical methods could effectively separate the drug from its degradation products, they can be employed as stability indicating.     

A simple and rapid method for the determination of taxol produced by fungal endophytes from medicinal plants using high performance thin layer chromatography

 Taxol is an important anticancer drug used widely in the clinical field. In this study, some endophytic fungi were isolated from selected medicinal plants, and were screened for their potential in the production of taxol, using a rapid separation technique of high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC). Of the 20 screened fungi, only 13 fungal species produced taxol in the artificial culture medium. The results of HPTLC showed that the 13 fungal species had identical ultraviolet (UV) characteristics, positive reactivity with a spray reagent, yielding a blue spot, which turned to dark gray after 24 hours, and had Rf values identical to that of the authentic taxol. The amount of taxol was also quantified by comparing the peak area and the peak height of the fungal samples with those of authentic taxol.

Analysis and applications of nanoparticles in the separation sciences: A case of gold nanoparticles

Nanometer-sized gold particles—gold nanoparticles (Au NPs)—are attracting a great deal of attention for their use in various technologies, including catalysis, optical and electronic devices, and separation science. In the emerging field of nanomaterials, the design, synthesis, and characterization of nanostructures are critical features because the manipulation of these structures has a direct effect on their resulting macroscopic properties. Nanostructures fabricated in layers on surfaces—for example, through self-assembly processes—have several potential applications in separation science. This review provides an introduction to the characterizations of Au NPs using size exclusion chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and electrophoresis, and their self-assembly onto solid supports for analyses based on HPLC, gas chromatography, and capillary electrophoresis. In addition, sample concentration strategies involving the use of self-assembly approaches for surface modification of Au NPs are also discussed.
