Ion‐pair cloud‐point extraction: A new method for the determination of water‐soluble vitamins in plasma and urine

A novel, simple, and effective ion‐pair cloud‐point extraction coupled with a gradient high‐performance liquid chromatography method was developed for determination of thiamine (vitamin B₁), niacinamide (vitamin B₃), pyridoxine (vitamin B₆), and riboflavin (vitamin B₂) in plasma and urine samples. The extraction and separation of vitamins were achieved based on an ion‐pair formation approach between these ionizable analytes and 1‐heptanesulfonic acid sodium salt as an ion‐pairing agent. Influential variables on the ion‐pair cloud‐point extraction efficiency, such as the ion‐pairing agent concentration, ionic strength, pH, volume of Triton X‐100, extraction temperature, and incubation time have been fully evaluated and optimized. Water‐soluble vitamins were successfully extracted by 1‐heptanesulfonic acid sodium salt (0.2% w/v) as ion‐pairing agent with Triton X‐100 (4% w/v) as surfactant phase at 50°C for 10 min. The calibration curves showed good linearity (r² > 0.9916) and precision in the concentration ranges of 1‐50 μg/mL for thiamine and niacinamide, 5–100 μg/mL for pyridoxine, and 0.5–20 μg/mL for riboflavin. The recoveries were in the range of 78.0–88.0% with relative standard deviations ranging from 6.2 to 8.2%.     

Solidified floating organic drop microextraction combined with high performance liquid chromatography for the determination of carbamazepine in human plasma and urine samples

Solidified floating organic drop microextraction (SFODME) in combination with high performance liquid chromatography was used for separation/preconcentration and determination of carbamazepine (CBZ) in human plasma and urine samples. Parameters that affect the extraction efficiency such as the type and volume of extraction solvent, ionic strength, sodium hydroxide concentration, stirring rate, sample volume and extraction time, were investigated and optimized. Under the optimum conditions (extraction solvent, 40 μL of 1-undecanol; sodium hydroxide concentration, 1 mol/L; temperature, 50 ℃; stirring speed, 400 r/min; sample volume, 8 mL; sodium chloride concentration, 3% (w/v) and extraction time, 60 min) the calibration curve was found to be linear in the mass concentration range of 0.4-700.0 μg/L. The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.1 μg/L and the relative standard deviation (RSD) for six replicate extraction and determination of carbamazepine at 100 μg/L level was found to be 4.1%. The method was successfully applied to the determination of CBZ in human plasma and urine samples.     

Optimization of an analytical method for determining organotin compounds in fish tissue by base-hydrolysis pretreatment and simultaneous ethylation-extraction procedures

To determine butyl- and phenyl-tins in fish muscle, a method including base digestion pretreatment, followed by a simultaneous ethylation-extraction procedure and gas chromatograph-flame photometric detector (GC-FPD) analysis is outlined. Key parameters that influence analyte recovery were investigated and optimized. A solution of 3% (w/v) potassium hydroxide (KOH) and 1 h digestion time at 60 °C were chosen in the base digestion step, to ensure complete solubilization of fish muscle and the decomposition of organotins was found to be insignificant. We found that the ratio of fish muscle/reaction solution should not exceed 0.2 g (dry weight) per 100 mL in order to avoid the matrix effect caused by the binding of hydrolyzed fish tissue with organotin ions. Ethylation of organotins were conducted at pH 6-7 with a 1% (w/v) sodium tetraethylborate (NaBEt₄) solution for 1 h. This simple and timesaving procedure should be able to be applied to the routine analysis of organotins in other bio-tissues.     

Relieving effect of saline on cephaloridine nephrotoxicity in rats

To elucidate the mechanism(s) of the relieving effect of saline on cephaloridine (CER) nephrotoxicity, rats were given CER in equal quantity (1 g/kg body weight; i.v.), but at two different concentrations (4 and 25%) in saline. Urinary excretion of glucose, which was investigated as an index for renal proximal tubular injury, revealed that the renal damage was less in the 4% CER 25 ml/kg group than in the 25% CER 4 ml/kg group. As to urinary excretions of CER, sodium, potassium and water, no significant differences were observed between the two groups in the first 2 h, but chloride in the 4% CER 25 ml/kg group showed higher values than in the 25% CER 4 ml/kg group. Plasma concentrations of sodium, potassium, chloride and CER, did not show any definite distinctions between the two groups. At the time-point of 20 min after the CER administration, renal CER content was significantly lower in the 4% CER 25 ml/kg group than in the 25% CER 4 ml/kg group. These results suggest that the sodium ion which is needed for cellular trapping of CER is competitively expended for cellular entry of the chloride ion in the kidney, and that the relieving effect of the saline on CER nephrotoxicity is ascribable to the loaded quantity of chloride ion.     

Fast CE for combinatorial catalysis

Two solvent-modified MEKC methods were developed for the quantitative analysis of heterocyclic amines synthesised using intramolecular ring closure via catalysed hydroamination. The first method was capable of resolving six of the amines (precursors and products) with a sample-to-sample injection time of 2 min employing a 20 mM borate buffer, pH 9.2 with 20 mM SDS and 5% v/v n-butanol (n-BuOH). A second low-pH method using 20 mM phosphate buffer, 100 mm SDS, 5% v/v n-BuOH and 20% v/v iso-propanol (i-PrOH) was able to resolve an additional pair of compounds with a sample-to-sample time of 3.5 min. Application of the first method to the analysis of a sample containing catalyst as well as amines placed directly in a 96-well plate showed excellent performance, with migration time and peak height and area reproducibility being less than 0.9 and 9.6%, respectively. The quantity of conversion by catalyst was calculated to be 68 +/- 7%, which was in excellent agreement with the 67 +/- 5% obtained by more conventional (1)H NMR experiments, with the added advantage that this method is also cheaper, quicker and more amendable to high-throughput screening of combinatorial libraries.     

Elimination of sulfide interference by sodium hypochlorite solution in the cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometric determination of mercury using tin(II) reduction in alkaline medium

An addition of sodium hypochlorite solution effectively eliminated the interference by sulfide in the cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometric determination of mercury using tin(II) reduction in alkaline medium. Mercury ranging from 0.01 to 0.5 μg could be determined within ±10% error in 100 mL of sample solution containing 10 mg of sulfide by the addition of 1 mL of 10.4%(w/v) sodium hypochlorite solution. The proposed method is rapid (5 min per determination) and has good reproducibility (3.0%).     

Determination of fenpyroximate in apples by supercritical fluid extraction and packed capillary liquid chromatography with UV detection

A method using off-line supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and micro liquid chromatography (μLC) with UV detection at 260 nm, was developed for selective determination of fenpyroximate in apple samples. The packed capillary liquid chromatography method utilises 20 μl injection volumes with on-column focusing. A 350×0.32 mm capillary column packed with Kromasil 100-C₁₈ of 5 μm particle size was used with a mobile phase of acetonitrile–10 mM ammonium acetate (85:15, v/v) at a flow of 5 μl/min. A two-step SFE procedure was used to extract fenpyroximate selectively in 2 g apple samples, with Hydromatrix (HMX) added as a water absorbent at a 1:1 (w:w) ratio. Fenpyroximate was extracted at 200 bar and 90°C for 15 min using carbon dioxide at a flow of 2 ml/min, and solvent trapping collection in 10 ml acetonitrile. The volume of the acetonitrile extract was reduced by evaporation and water was added to a final composition of acetonitrile–water (40:60, v/v). The resulting 2.0 ml solution was filtered using a 0.45 μm poly(vinylidene difluoride) syringe filter before μLC analysis. Validation of the method was accomplished with apple samples spiked with fenpyroximate, covering the range of 0.1 to 1.0 μg/kg. The within-day and between-day repeatabilities were in the range 4–18% relative standard deviation. Accuracy, measured as recovery, was found to be approximately 60%. Apple samples from a field treated with fenpyroximate were analysed. None of the samples contained fenpyroximate above the quantification level.     

High-performance liquid chromatographic analysis of the anticancer drug oxantrazole in rat whole blood and tissues.

A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) assay was developed for the antitumor anthrapyrazole analogue, oxantrazole (OX), in rat whole blood and tissues. Blood samples were mixed with equal volumes of a 25% (w/v) aqueous solution of L-ascorbic acid, whereas tissue samples were homogenized with 1.5-3 volumes of an L-ascorbic acid-methanol-water (1:10:1, w/v/v) mixture to prevent oxidative degradation of OX. Samples were then treated with 60% (v/v) perchloric acid (25-30 microliters/ml of stabilized sample) to precipitate proteins, and centrifuged, with the resultant supernatants analyzed on HPLC utilizing a C8 column. The mobile phase for blood and urine samples consisted of 8% (v/v) glacial acetic acid, 13% (v/v) acetonitrile, 79% (v/v) water, 0.16% (w/v) sodium acetate, and 0.05% (w/v) L-ascorbic acid (final pH 2.7), and was pumped at 1.8 ml/min. Tissue samples were eluted at 2 ml/min with a mobile phase consisting of 8% (v/v) glacial acetic acid, 12% (v/v) acetonitrile, 80% (v/v) water, 0.16% (w/v) sodium acetate, and 0.0;5% (w/v) L-ascorbic acid. OX and internal standard were detected at 514 nm and had retention times of 2.3 and 3.1 min, respectively. The limit of quantitation of OX was 25-50 ng/g. Recovery of OX from biological samples ranged from 50 +/- 0.9% in spleen to 102.8 +/- 1.8% in RG-2 glioma. The analytical method was applied to a pharmacokinetic study in rats.     

A reproducible, rapid and inexpensive Folin-Ciocalteu micro-method in determining phenolics of plant methanol extracts

A new combination among time, temperature, alkali and alcohol is described for the spectrophotometric determination of small concentrations of phenolics in methanol extracts from plant. It is a variation of the classical Folin-Ciocalteu (F-C) method, but the reaction conditions are optimized in order to eliminate methanol interferences in the assay. Alcohol concentration and reaction time limits have been evaluated as 4% methanol (v/v) and 20 min at 40 °C, using a 5% (w/v) sodium carbonate solution. This F-C micro-method is reproducible, quick, inexpensive and particularly helpful if it works with numerous samples or on a small scale, such as during the setting up of an experimental procedure of alcoholic extractions.

The proposed method is rapid (5 min per determination) and has good reproducibility (3.0%). Received: 20 May 1998 / Revised: 7 July 1998 / Accepted: 10 July 1998     

Determination of aflatoxin in processed dried cassava root: validation of a new analytical method for cassava flour

A new method that uses HPLC with a photochemical reactor for enhanced detection was developed and validated for the determination of aflatoxins in cassava flour. Samples were spiked with a mixture of four aflatoxins at 5, 10, and 20 microg/kg mixed with either 1 or 5 g NaCI and extracted with methanol-water (80 + 20, v/v) by shaking for 10 or 30 min. An immunoaffinity column was used for cleanup. HPLC with postcolumn derivatization, for enhancement of aflatoxin fluorescence, and fluorescence determination were used for quantitation of the toxin concentration. The method was validated for recovery, linearity, and precision at the three concentrations tested. Recovery ranges were 52-70, 69-85, and 80-89% for the spiking levels of 5.0, 10.0, and 20.0 microg/kg, respectively. It appears that the amount of salt (NaCl) and the shaking time are critical factors in this method; optimal performance was obtained when 1 g salt was used and the shaking time was 10 min. The good linearity and precision of the method allowed baseline separation from interferences, e.g., coumarins.

Oxidation of SO2 to sulfate in sea salt aerosols

Summary In laboratory-scale experiments sea salt particles are exposed to SO₂ at a temperature of 22°C and relative humidities of 40, 60 and 80%; the SO₂ gas concentration is fixed to 0.2, 0.5 and 1.0 ppm (v), respectively. In further test series NO₂ is added to the gas phase. As kinetic data the capacity values of the sea salt particles (mg formed sulfate/g dry aerosol) are determined as function of time and from this the reaction rates (mg formed sulfate/g dry aerosol and minute) are calculated in dependence of the yield. The relative humidity (r.h.) has proved to be a decisive reaction parameter. For example, the rate (at a reaction time of one hour) increases at a SO₂ concentration of 0.5 ppm (v) from 0.01 to approx. 0.1 mg SO ₄ ^2– /g·min, if the r.h. will increase from 40 to 80%. However, the gas concentration has only an importance at high humidities (where the reaction takes place in droplets) for the sulfate formation in sea salt aerosols. If the SO₂ concentration is reduced from 1.0 to 0.2 ppm (v) at a r.h. of 80%, the rate will be decreased from 0.2 to about 0.07 mg SO ₄ ^2– /g·min; however, at a r.h. of 60% from 0.075 to 0.04 mg SO ₄ ^2– /g·min. As an increased sulfate formation but no nitrate formation can be detected when NO₂ is added to the gas phase, it can be assumed that SO₂ is oxidized in the electrolyte layer around the sea salt particles whereas NO₂ is reduced. If NO₂ (SO₂:NO₂=1:1) is added to the gas phase, the rate — for example at a r.h. of 40% — will be increased from 0.01 to 0.24 mg SO ₄ ^2– /g·min.     

A simple and rapid dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction method followed by GC-FID for determination of N-methylpyrrolidine in cefepime

A simple, rapid and efficient sample preparation technique, dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction, coupled with gas chromatography-flame ionization detection has been developed to determine N-methylpyrrolidine in cefepime. The effect of various experimental factors on the preparation procedure, such as the nature and volume of extraction and disperser solvents, extraction time, the nature of buffer and its pH, and salt effect, was investigated, optimized and the following results were obtained: extraction solvent, chloroform; dispersive solvent and solvent for dissolving cefepime, a mixture of methanol/water (88:12, v/v); salting out agent, NaCl; and buffer, carbonate/bicarbonate (C=0.5?M, pH=12). The optimized conditions were applied to the real sample (cefepime) for the extraction and determination of N-methylpyrrolidine. The calibration graph is linear from 0.02 to 850?mg/L with the square of correlation coefficient 0.999. LOD and LOQ are 6.4 and 21.2?μg/L in solution, respectively, and 0.2 (2×10(-5) ) and 0.6 (6×10(-5) ) μg/g (%, w/w) in cefepime powder, respectively, using sample size 50?mg. Repeatability of the method is good and RSD% for six repeated experiments (C=170?mg/L) is 6.35%.     

Studies on the Effects of Salt and Surfactant in Wet Phase Separation of Polysulfone

This study investigates the effect of additives in the nonsolvent water in terms of cloud point during the phase inversion of Polysulfone (PS) in dimethyl formamide (DMF). The exponential pattern is observed with PS concentration (0.2 to 0.6% (w/w)). It needs a low amount of water to get the cloud point at low temperature. The cloud point varied with the nature of water matrix and depended on the amount of salt, as well as the PS amount. The presence of salts (sodium chloride and sodium sulfate) lowers the cloud point of the solution. The network distribution of the particles at the cloud point is disturbed in the presence of salt. The requirement is more for Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) added water to reach the cloud point in the low range of PS solution up to 0.3% PS (w/w). The morphological and distribution pattern of PS particles are very different compared to PS particles produced from pure water. XRD study of PS particles produced from the mixed water system reflects relatively more amorphous character with respect to PS particles from pure water. The presence of both surfactant and salts in water systems also influences the cloud point in synergistic manner.     

Determination of PNU-248686A,a novel matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor,in human plasma by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry,following protein precipitation in the 96-well plate format

A sensitive, specific and high-throughput analytical method for the quantitation of PNU-248686A (I), in human plasma has been developed. I, sodium (2R)-3-[[(4'-chloro(1,1'-biphenyl)-4-yl]sulfonyl]-2-hydroxy-2-[(phenylsulfanyl)methyl] propanoate, is an orally active matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitor developed for the treatment of solid tumors over-expressing MMPs. Concentrations of I, as free acid, were determined in human plasma by LC-MS-MS after plasma protein precipitation in the 96-well plate format. Aliquots of plasma (50 microl) were placed into the plates and 0.2 ml of methanol was added. The plates were shaken for 5 min and centrifuged at 1500 g for 10 min. Aliquots of 10 microl of the supernatants were then directly injected into the LC-MS-MS system. A Symmetry Shield C. column (50 x 2.1 mm, 3.5 microm) was used to perform the chromatographic analysis. The mobile phase was 5 mM ammonium formate buffer solution pH 5.0-acetonitrile (60:40. v/v) with a flow-rate of 0.3 ml/min. Retention time of I was about 1.2 min. Total cycle time was 2.5 min. MS detection used the Applied Biosystems-MDS Sciex API 3000 with TurbolonSpray interface and single reaction monitoring (461 --> 251 m/z transition) operated in negative ion mode. Calibration curves were constructed by plotting the area of the compound (y) against its concentration (x). A weighed linear regression (weighting factor 1/x(2)) was used to calculate I concentrations in quality control and unknown samples. The method was fully validated over the range of 5.0-5000 ng/ml. The suitability and robustness of the method for in vivo samples was confirmed by analysis of plasma samples from a pilot clinical study.     

Separation of double-stranded DNA fragments by capillary electrophoresis in interpenetrating networks of polyacrylamide and polyvinylpyrrolidone

Mixtures of two polymers with totally different chemical structures, polyacrylamide and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) have been successfully used for double-stranded DNA separation. By polymerization of acrylamide in a matrix of PVP solution, the incompatibility of these two polymers was suppressed. Laser light scattering (LLS) studies showed that highly entangled interpenetrating networks were formed in the solution. Further systematic investigation showed that double-stranded DNA separation was very good in these interpenetrating networks. With a concentration combination of as low as 2% w/v PVP (weight-average molecular mass Mr = 1 x 10(6) g/mol) + 1% w/v polyacrylamide (Mr = 4 x 10(5) g/mol), the 22 fragments in pBR322/HaeIII DNA, including the doublet of 123/124 bp, have been successfully separated within 6.5 min. Under the same separation conditions, similar resolution could only be achieved by using polyacrylamide (Mr = 4 x 10(5) g/mol) with concentrations higher than 6% w/v and could not be achieved by using only PVP (Mr = 1 x 10(6) g/mol) with a concentration as high as 15% w/v. It is noted that the interpenetrating network formed by 2% PVP and 1% polyacrylamide has a very low viscosity and can dynamically coat the inner wall of a fused-silica capillary. The separation reached an efficiency of more than 10(7) theoretical plate numbers/m and a reproducibility of less than 1% relative standard deviation of migration time in a total of seven runs. The interpenetrating network could stabilize polymer chain entanglements. Consequently, the separation speed was increased while retaining resolution.
