Gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric determination of oxolinic acid in fish using selected ion monitoring

A gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric (GC-MS) method is described for the determination of oxolinic acid in fish tissues. oxolinic acid is reduced with sodium tetrahydroborate to permit GC analysis. The sample is homogenized with phosphate buffer (pH 6) and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract is partitioned between sodium hydrogencarbonate solution and the aqueous phase is acidified and re-extracted with ethyl acetate. The residue from the ethyl acetate extract is dissolved in methanol and reduced with sodium tetrahydroborate. The reduction product is extracted with diethyl ether and analysed by GC-MS in the selected ion monitoring mode for the ions at m/z 204, 219 and 176. The detection limit is 0.001 mg/kg and the recoveries were 95.6% [relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) 7.7%] at 0.1 mg/kg and 72.9% (R.S.D. 13.3%) at 0.01 mg/kg fortification levels in fish.

Examining the Performance of Two Extraction Solvent Systems on Phenolic Constituents from U.S. Southeastern Blackberries

Two common extraction solvent systems, namely acidified aqueous methanol and acidified aqueous acetone, were used to extract blackberry phenolics, and the antioxidant properties of the recovered extracts were compared. The crude extracts were fractionated into low- and high-molecular-weight phenolics by Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography. The hydrophilic-oxygen radical absorbance capacity (H-ORAC_FL), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), and the cellular antioxidant activity (CAA) assays were employed as indices to assess antioxidant capacity of the extracts and their respective fractions. The methanolic solvent system displayed a greater efficiency at extracting anthocyanin and flavonol constituents from the blackberries, while the acetonic solvent system was better at extracting flavan-3-ols and tannins. Anthocyanins were the dominant phenolic class found in the blackberries with 138.7 ± 9.8 mg C3G eq./100 g f.w. when using methanol as the extractant and 114.6 ± 3.4 mg C3G eq./100 g f.w. when using acetone. In terms of overall antioxidant capacity of blackberry phenolics, the acetonic solvent system was superior. Though present only as a small percentage of the total phenolics in each crude extract, the flavan-3-ols (42.37 ± 2.44 and 51.44 ± 3.15 mg/100 g f.w. in MLF and ALF, respectively) and ellagitannins (5.15 ± 0.78 and 9.31 ± 0.63 mg/100 g f.w. in MHF and AHF, respectively) appear to account for the differences in the observed antioxidant activity between the two solvent systems.     

Antioxidant activities of extracts and fractions from Eupatorium lindleyanum DC

The antioxidant activities of water extract (WE), ethanol extract (EE), residue water extract (RWE) and petroleum ether (PF), ethyl acetate (EF), n-BuOH (BF) and water (WF) fractions of the ethanol extract from Eupatorium Lindley DC were investigated for the first time. Total phenolics content, DPPH radical scavenging activities, superoxide radical scavenging activities, total reduction capability, and ferrous ions chelating activities were determined for all the extracts and fractions. The results showed that all the extracts and fractions exhibited antioxidant activities with different magnitudes of potency. Among all the samples, WE and RWE exhibited the best antioxidant capacities, the BF also exhibited high antioxidant abilities in all tests except for the metal chelating activity, while the other extracts and fractions were relatively weak antioxidants. The BF had the highest total phenolics contents in all extracts and fractions, and the WE and RWE were found to be rich in tannins. Furthermore, the content of total phenolics showed good correlation with DPPH radical scavenging activity, superoxide anion radical scavenging activity, and the reducing power. Phenolic composition of all the extracts and fractions was identified and quantified by HPLC. The results indicate that the extracts of E. Lindley DC might be a useful potential source of natural antioxidant ingredients.     

Anticancer properties and phenolic contents of sequentially prepared extracts from different parts of selected medicinal plants indigenous to Malaysia

Different parts of four edible medicinal plants (Casearia capitellata, Baccaurea motleyana, Phyllanthus pulcher and Strobilanthus crispus), indigenous to Malaysia, were extracted in different solvents, sequentially. The obtained 28 extracts were evaluated for their in vitro anticancer properties, using the MTS assay, on four human cancer cell lines: colon (HT-29), breast (MCF-7), prostate (DU-145) and lung (H460) cancers. The best anticancer activity was observed for the ethyl acetate (EA) extract of Casearia capitellata leaves on MCF-7 cell lines with IC?? 2.0 μg/mL and its methanolic (MeOH) extract showed an outstanding activity against lung cancer cell lines. Dichloromethane (DCM) extract of Phyllanthus pulcher aerial parts showed the highest anticancer activity against DU-145 cell lines, while significant activity was exhibited by DCM extract of Phyllanthus pulcher roots on colon cancer cell lines with IC50 value of 8.1 μg/mL. Total phenolic content (TPC) ranged over 1-40 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/g. For all the samples, highest yields of phenolics were obtained for MeOH extracts. Among all the extracts analyzed, the MeOH extracts of Strobilanthus crispus leaves exhibited the highest TPC than other samples (p < 0.05). This study shows that the nature of phenol determines its anticaner activity and not the number of phenols present.     

Antioxidant activity of organic and aqueous leaf extracts of Cassia occidentalis L. in relation to their phenolic content

In this study, the antioxidant potency of sequential organic and aqueous leaf extracts of Cassia occidentalis was investigated, employing various established in vitro systems such as nitric oxide scavenging (NOS) activity, β-carotene-linoleic acid model system, hydroxyl radical scavenging (HRS) activity, reducing power, metal chelating activity (MCA) and superoxide radical scavenging (SRS) activity. The aqueous extract of the leaves of C. occidentalis was found to be most effective against free radicals, followed by the methanolic, chloroform, petroleum ether and benzene extracts, respectively. A preliminary study of qualitative and quantitative estimations of phenolics was performed, and the results were correlated with different antioxidant tests. A positive and significant (p?相似文献   

Liquid chromatographic assay for the simultaneous determination of pyrazinamide and rifampicin in serum samples from patients with tuberculous meningitis

A simple high-performance liquid chromatographic assay for the simultaneous determination of pyrazinamide and rifampicin in serum from patients with tuberculous meningitis is presented. The drugs and internal standard, p-acetamidobenzoic acid, were extracted from the acidified sample containing 2% ascorbic acid at pH 4.2 into dichloromethane-diethyl ether (2:3). The solvent extract was evaporated to dryness with the aid of nitrogen and the residue redissolved in methanol (75 microliters). The concentrate was analysed by a liquid chromatograph using a reversed-phase 30-microns C8 pre-column linked to a 5-microns C8 analytical column with a gradient solvent programme, which delivered 6% to 48% (v/v) acetonitrile in phosphate buffer (10 mM potassium dihydrogenphosphate, pH 3.5) in 10 min at 1.5 ml/min. The eluate was detected at 215 nm. Twelve patients with tuberculous meningitis were given daily chemotherapy, and their serum samples were assayed for pyrazinamide and rifampicin.     

Multiresidue determination of 19 fungicides in processed fruits and vegetables by capillary gas chromatography after gel permeation chromatography.

A gas chromatographic (GC) method was developed for simultaneous determination of 19 fungicides (chlorothalonil, vinclozolin, dichlofuanid, triadimefon, penconazole, chlozolinate, captan, procymidone, triadimenol, folpet, hexaconazole, myclobutanil, cyproconazole, propiconazole, nuarimol, captafol, iprodione, fenarimol, and bitertanol) and the acaricide tetradifon in tomato puree, peach nectar, orange juice, and canned peas. Samples were extracted with acetone, partitioned with ethyl acetate-cyclohexane (50 + 50, v/v), and cleaned using gel permeation chromatography with ethyl acetate-cyclohexane (50 + 50, v/v) as eluant. The final extract was analyzed by GC with ion trap mass spectrometry (ITMS) using a DB5 capillary column. Recoveries from fortified samples ranged from 74.6 to 99.3%, except for triadimenol and bitertanol. Quantitation limits for most analytes were between 0.005 and 0.050 mg/kg. The purified extracts were analyzed further by GC with electron capture and nitrogen phosphorus detection, and the results were compared with those obtained by ITMS.     

Determination of pyrethroid pesticide residues in processed fruits and vegetables by gas chromatography with electron capture and mass spectrometric detection

A gas chromatographic method was developed for the simultaneous determination of 12 pyrethroids (tefluthrin, bifenthrin, fenpropathrin, cyhalothrin, permethrin, cyfluthrin, cypermethrin, alpha-cypermethrin, flucythrinate, fenvalerate, fluvalinate, and deltamethrin) in tomato puree, peach nectar, orange juice, and canned peas. A miniaturized extraction-partition procedure requiring small amounts of nonchlorinated solvents is used. Samples are extracted with acetone, partitioned with ethyl acetate-cyclohexane (50 + 50, v/v), and cleaned up on a Florisil cartridge. The final extract is analyzed by gas chromatography with both electron capture and mass spectrometric detection modes. Studies at fortification levels of 0.010-0.100 mg/kg gave mean recoveries ranging from 70.2 to 96.0% and coefficients of variation between 4.0 and 13.9% for all compounds. Quantitation limits were < 0.010 mg/kg for electron capture detection.

Confirmation of phenylbutazone residues in bovine kidney by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry

A confirmatory method is described for phenylbutazone (PB) residues in bovine kidney tissue. Ground kidney tissue is diluted with water, and the mixture is made basic with 25% ammonium hydroxide in water; the lipids are extracted with ethyl and petroleum ethers. The ether layer is discarded, and the tissue is acidified with 6N HCl. PB residues are extracted with tetrahydrofuranhexane (1 + 4). The extract is passed through a silica solid-phase extraction column, and the eluate is evaporated to dryness. The residue is dissolved in acidified acetonitrile-water-acetic acid (50 + 49.4 + 0.6). A single quadrupole mass spectrometer coupled to a liquid chromatograph with an electrospray interface is used to confirm the identity of the PB residues in the kidney extract. Negative-ion detection with selected-ion monitoring of 4 ions is used. Sets of control and fortified-control kidney tissues (at 50, 100, and 200 ppb PB) and several kidney tissue field samples were analyzed for method validation. The method was tested further during the course of a survey to determine the incidence of PB residues in bovine kidney samples obtained from slaughterhouses across the country. In addition, the method was tested for use with an ion-trap mass spectrometer coupled to a liquid chromatograph, which allowed confirmation of PB at lower levels (5-10 ppb) in kidney tissue.

Polyphenolics profile and antioxidant properties of Raphanus sativus L

Raphanus sativus, a common cruciferous vegetable has been attributed to possess a number of pharmacological properties. Antioxidant and radical scavenging activity of R. sativus root extracted with solvents of varying polarity were evaluated using different model systems. Polyphenolic content was estimated to be in the range 13.18-63.54?mg?g?1 dry weight, with a considerable amount being obtained with polar solvents. High-performance liquid chromatography analysis indicated the presence of an array of polyphenolics. Catechin was found to be the most abundant phenolic compound in water extract and sinapic acid, the predominant phenolic compound in methanolic, ethyl acetate and hexane extracts. The methanolic extract showed significant ferric reducing ability, moderate metal chelating activity and strong radical scavenging activity. The methanolic extract could be successfully utilised as an ingredient in functional foods. However, water extract could be more pertinent to human nutrition as it contained a significant amount of catechin, which was comparable to traditional sources like green and black tea.

Anthocyanins HPLC-DAD and MS Characterization,Total Phenolics,and Antioxidant Activity of Some Berries Extracts

Extracts of indigenous wild blackberries, mulberries, bilberries, and blackthorns were analyzed for anthocyanin composition, anthocyanin content, total phenolics, and antioxidant capacity. Anthocyanins extraction with acidified methanol in ultrasonic condition (59 kHz, 60 min., 25°C) was carried out. The extracts were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using a Dionex Ultimate 3000 apparatus equipped with photodiode array detector for qualitative characterization of the anthocyanins. The chromatograms revealed the presence of a large number of anthocyanins in fruits extracts: blackberries, 4 compounds; mulberries, 3 compounds; bilberries, 18 compounds; and blackthorns, 5 compounds. The most abundant anthocyanins were cyanidin-3-glucoside in blackberry, mulberry, and bilberry, and cyanidin-3-rutinoside in blackthorn extract. Structural information about anthocyanins was obtained by using a mass spectrometric method based on fully automated chip-nanoelectrospray ionization (nanoESI) high capacity ion trap (HCT). Anthocyanin content was quantified by the pH differential method and total phenolics were determined by Folin-Ciocalteu method. A Jasco V 530 UV-VIS spectrophotometer was used for absorbance measurements. The free radical scavenging activity of the berries extracts was performed by using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay. The reduction of DPPH was followed by a spectrophotometric method. Also, a correlation of the antioxidant capacities of the extracts with their anthocyanin content and total phenolics was attempted.     

Ten marker compounds-based comparative study of green tea and guava leaf by HPTLC densitometry methods: antioxidant activity profiling

High-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) method for the separation and quantitative determination of ten markers (catechins, flavonoids, and phenolics) in different extracts of green tea and guava leaf has been developed and the antioxidant activity profiles of the two plant extracts have been determined. Ten marker compounds have been resolved using silica gel 60 F(254) plates, toluene/acetone/formic acid (5:4:1 v/v/v) for markers 1-6, and toluene/ethyl acetate/formic acid/methanol (3:3:0.8:0.2 v/v/v/v) for markers 7-10 as the mobile phases. The high-performance thin layer chromatography densitometry was performed at wavelengths of 282 and 285 nm for the markers 1-6 and 7-10, respectively. Potent antioxidant activity and the presence of phenolics and flavan-3-ols has been observed for the guava leaf extracts suggestive of its use as an alternate economical source of antioxidants over green tea--the well-established food additive/nutraceutical agent.     

Multiresidue gas chromatographic method for determining synthetic pyrethroid pesticides in agricultural products: collaborative study

Fourteen laboratories from 6 countries and regions participated in an international collaborative study to evaluate a multiresidue gas chromatographic (GC) method for determining 8 synthetic pyrethroid pesticides in grains, fruits, and vegetables. The study design was based on Youden's matched-pairs principle for collaborative tests of analytical methods. Each laboratory analyzed 12 collaborative samples of wheat, oranges, and tomatoes as blind samples. Wheat samples were extracted with acetonitrile-water (2 + 1), while orange and tomato samples were extracted with acetone. Residues were partitioned into hexane, evaporated to dryness with a rotary evaporator, and then dissolved in hexane. The hexane extract was partitioned with acetonitrile and cleaned up on a 5% water-deactivated Florisil column with 6% ethyl ether in hexane as eluant. Residue concentrations were determined by GC with electron capture detection with splitless injection by comparison with single-point calibration standards. The appropriate standard concentration was determined by screening sample extracts before analysis. The multiresidue method was tested over the concentration range of 0.095-1.909 mg/kg depending on the 8 different of pesticides and agricultural products analyzed in the collaborative study. Statistical analysis of data from 13 laboratories showed weighted average recoveries for 8 pyrethroids in wheat, oranges, and tomatoes at 0.105-1.909, 0.095-1.909, and 0.105-0.954 mg/kg, respectively, ranging from 91.8 to 100.2%, from 88.1 to 100.6%, and from 88.2 to 101.5%, respectively. Reproducibility relative standard deviation values ranged from 6.46 to 17.74%, from 5.94 to 18.13%, and from 5.59 to 10.48%, respectively. Repeatability relative standard deviation values ranged from 6.34 to 10.84%, from 5.19 to 11.72%, and from 3.20 to 8.09%, respectively. The multiresidue GC method for determining synthetic pyrethroid pesticides in agricultural products has been adopted first action by AOAC INTERNATIONAL.

Quantitative analysis of polypeptide antibiotic residues in a variety of food matrices by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry

A quantitative LC–MS/MS method was developed for the determination of five polypeptide antibiotics (bacitracin, colistin A, colistin B, polymyxin B1 and polymyxin B2) in a variety of food matrices (muscle, liver, kidney, egg and milk). The described method is sufficiently sensitive, selective and provides acceptable recoveries for all compounds. The extraction is based on acidified methanolic solvent. This is followed by a reversed phase solid phase extraction step to clean-up and concentrate the extracts. The use of a modern core shell column in combination with an eluent consisting of trifluoroacetic acid, formic acid and acetonitrile provides chromatographically well resolved analyte peaks The single-step clean-up is fast and produces a sufficiently clean extract in order to control matrix-related signal suppression in the electrospray interface.
