Determination of Fluoxetine and Norfluoxetine in Serum by Liquid Chromatography with Fluorescence Detection

Abstract

A reversed phase liquid chromatographic procedure with fluorescence detection for the simultaneous determination of fluoxetine and its active metabolite, norfluoxetine in human serum is described. A 0.5-mL aliquot of the sample after the addition of protriptyline as the internal standard is passed through a 1-mL BondElut C₁₈ silica extraction column. The column is selectively washed to remove polar, neutral, acidic and weakly basic compounds. The desired compounds are eluted with a 0.25-mL aliquot of a mixture of 0.1 N perchloric acid + acetonitrile (1:3). A 20-uL aliquot of the eluate is injected onto a 15 cm × 4.6 mm (i.d.) column packed with 5-um C₈-silica particles, which is eluted at ambient temperature with a mobile phase containing tetramethyl-ammonium perchlorate. The peaks are detected with a fluorescence detector (ex = 235 nm; em = 310 nm). In the resulting chromatogram, there are only few extraneous peaks, fluoxetines give sharp peaks which are well resolved from peaks for solvent and internal standard. The extraction recovery of fluoxetines and internal standard is in the range of 85%.     

Measurement of urinary vanilmandelic acid and homovanillic acid by high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection following extraction by ion-exchange and ion-moderated partition

An improved protocol has been developed to isolate homovanillic acid (HVA) and vanilmandelic acid (VMA) from urine with strong anion-exchange resin. The sample is diluted with acetate buffer and passed through a disposable column. HVA, uric acid, and many hydrophobic organic acids are removed with 1.0 M acetic acid--ethanol. Then VMA is eluted with 0.5 M phosphoric acid. Two isocratic mobile phases allow rapid high-performance liquid chromatographic measurement of VMA (5 min) and HVA (8 mins) on a 5-micron ODS column. Selective conditions were developed with dual-electrode coulometric detection to permit specific measurement of VMA, HVA, and internal standards, with less than 5% between-run variation.

Determination of famotidine in low-volume human plasma by normal-phase liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry

A rapid, sensitive and robust assay procedure using liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) for the determination of famotidine in human plasma and urine is described. Famotidine and the internal standard were isolated from plasma samples by cation-exchange solid-phase extraction with benzenesulfonic acid (SCX) cartridges. The urine assay used direct injection of a diluted urine sample. The chromatographic separation was accomplished by using a BDS Hypersil silica column with a mobile phase of acetonitrile-water containing trifluoroacetic acid. The MS/MS detection of the analytes was set in the positive ionization mode using electrospray ionization for sample introduction. The analyte and internal standard precursor-product ion combinations were monitored in the multiple-reaction monitoring mode. Assay calibration curves were linear in the concentration range 0.5--500 ng ml(-1) and 0.05--50 microg ml(-1) in plasma and urine, respectively. For the plasma assay, a 100 microl sample aliquot was subjected to extraction. To perform the urine assay, a 50 microl sample aliquot was used. The intra-day relative standard deviations at all concentration levels were <10%. The inter-day consistency was assessed by running quality control samples during each daily run. The limit of quantification was 0.5 ng ml(-1) in plasma and 0.05 microg ml(-1) in urine. The methods were utilized to support clinical pharmacokinetic studies in infants aged 0-12 months.

A novel method for the determination of iodide by size exclusion chromatography was established. The method was simple and highly sensitive with good precision. Iodide was converted to iodine, then sequestered with starch, and separated from the matrix using a Shim-pack DIOL-150 (250 x 7.9 mm) size exclusion column with methanol-0.01 mol l(-1) aqueous phosphoric acid (10:90, v/v) as mobile phase at 1.2 ml min(-1) and UV detection at 224 nm. The calibration graph was linear from 1.0 ng ml(-1) to 100.0 ng ml(-1) for iodide with a correlation coefficient of 0.9992 (n=6). The detection limit was 0.2 ng ml(-1). The method was successfully applied to the determination of iodide in seawater and urine. The recovery was from 92% to 103% and the relative standard deviation was in the range of 1.5% to 3.7%.     

Analysis of Thyroidal Amino Acids in Pharmaceutical Preparations. I - Reverse Phase High Pressure Liquid Chromatography Analysis of Sodium Liothyronine from Tablets

Abstract

A simple, sensitive and specific assay method was developed for the assay of sodium liothyronine (T₃Na) from tablets. Sodium liothyrorn'ne was extracted from powdered tablets with a solvent system consisting of butanol and dilute hydrochloric acid. The solvent was removed under vacuum and the residue was dissolved in ammonical methanol. An aliquot of this solution was injected on a μBondapak C₁₈ column and the elution was carried out with a mobile phase consisting of methanol:water:phosphoric acid (55:45: 0.1). The effluent was monitored by U. V. detection at 254 nm. A linear calibration curve was obtained in the range of 10 to 250 ng on column with a precision of ±4% (C. V.). The internal standard consisted of 3, 3′, 5-triiodothyronine (T3′ or RT₃). The usefulness of an alternate compound, 3, 5-diiodo-3′, 5′-dibromothyronine, which is not endogenous, was also demonstrated as an internal standard.     

High-performance liquid chromatographic measurement of 8-methoxypsoralen in plasma

Summary A simple high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the measurement of 8-Methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) in human plasma following a single 40mg dose has been described. After addition of phosphate-NaOH buffer, pH 12, and internal standard (trimethylpsoralen), the sample is vortex-mixed with diisopropylether. The resulting extract is analysed on a reverse phase column using phosphoric acid (0.05% v/v): acetonitrile (1:1) as mobile phase, and U.V. detection at 220nm. No interference from endogenous sources has been observed. The limit of sensitivity of the assay is 5ng/ml plasma. The measuring range is between 10–700ng 8-MOP/ml plasma, to be expected from oral doses of 0.6mg 8-MOP/kg body weight, and corresponds to the therapeutic plasma concentration. The relative standard deviation at 50ng/ml level of 8-MOP is 3.6%.     

Simultaneous determination of rocuronium and its eight impurities in pharmaceutical preparation using high-performance liquid chromatography with amperometric detection

A sensitive and selective HPLC method with amperometric detection (HPLC-ED) for the determination of rocuronium bromide and its eight impurities has been developed. The analysis was performed on Hypersil 100 Silica column 5 microm (250 mm x 4.6 mm; Thermo Electron). The mobile phase consisting of 4.53 g l(-1) solution of tetramethylammonium hydroxide adjusted to pH 7.4 with 85% phosphoric acid:acetonitrile (1:9), was found the best for the separation and determination of the studied compounds. The chromatograms were recorded over 10 min using the amperometric detection at a potential +0.9 V of the glassy carbon electrode versus the reference electrode Ag/AgCl. The limit of quantitation was 45 ng ml(-1) for rocuronium and from 25 to 750 ng ml(-1) for the examined impurities. The proposed HPLC-ED method was successfully applied to the analysis of rocuronium and its impurities in Esmeron solution for injection.

Simultaneous determination of cefamandole and cefamandole nafate in human plasma and urine by high-performance liquid chromatography with column switching

A high-performance liquid chromatographic method with column switching has been developed for the simultaneous determination of cefamandole and cefamandole nafate in plasma and urine. The plasma and urine samples were injected onto a precolumn packed with Corasil RP C18 (37-50 microns) after simple dilution with an internal standard solution in 0.05 M phosphoric acid. Polar plasma and urine components were washed out using 0.05 M phosphoric acid. After valve switching, the concentrated drugs were desorbed in back-flush mode and separated by a reversed-phase C8 column with methanol-5 mM tetrabutylammonium bromide (45:55, v/v) as the mobile phase. The method showed excellent precision with good sensitivity and speed, and a detection limit of 0.5 microgram/ml. The total analysis time per sample was less than 30 min, and the mean coefficients of variation for intra- and inter-assay were both less than 4.9%. The method has been successfully applied to plasma and urine samples for human volunteers after intravenous injection of cefamandole nafate.     

Separation of arsenic(III) and arsenic(V) in ground waters by ion-exchange

The predominant species of arsenic in ground water are probably arsenite and arsenate. These can be separated with a strong anion-exchange resin (Dowex 1 x 8; 100-200 mesh, acetate form) in a 10 cm x 7 mm column. Samples are filtered and acidified with concentrated hydrochloric acid (1 ml per 100 ml of sample) at the sample site. Five ml of the acidified sample are used for the separation. At this acidity, As(III) passes through the acetate-form resin, and As(V) is retained. As(V) is eluted by passage of 0.12M hydrochloric acid through the column (resulting in conversion of the resin back into the chloride form). Samples are collected in 5-ml portions up to a total of 20 ml. The arsenic concentration in each portion is determined by graphite-furnace atomic-absorption spectrophotometry. The first two fractions give the As(III) concentration and the last two the As(V) concentration. The detection limit for the concentration of each species is 1 mug l .     

On-line cryogenic trapping with microwave heating for the determination and speciation of arsenic by flow injection/hydride generation/atomic absorption spectrometry

An on-line flow injection-hydride generation/atomic absorption spectrometry method was developed for the preconcentration and selective determination of inorganic arsenic [As(III) and As(V)] and its methylated species. The separation of the arsenic species was performed by an automated pH-selective arsines generation technique, using sodium tetrahydroborate(III) as reductant. Each arsine was cryogenically trapped in a PTFE coil, knotted and sealed inside another wider diameter tube, through which liquid nitrogen was suctioned by negative pressure. Then, based on their different boiling points, the arsine species were selectively liberated by using a heating cycle of microwave radiation, followed by atomic absorption detection. A sample solution aliquot mixed with 1% citric acid was used for the determination of As(III) alone, while a second sample aliquot mixed with 2 mol l(-1) nitric acid was used for the quantitative determination of total inorganic arsenic, monomethylarsonic acid and dimethylarsinic acid. Based on 10 ml sample, the detection limits lie within the range 20-60 ng As l(-1), which are sufficiently low to detect the arsines-forming species in natural waters. These values are negatively affected by the reagents purity and background noise due to flame flickering, but the sensitivity can substantially be improved by increasing sample size or running several consecutive reactions.

Determination of Uric Acid in Human Serum: Reversed-Phase Liquid Chromatography with Electrochemical Detection

Abstract

A method for the simultaneous determination of uric acid in human serum by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection has been developed. Human serum (0.5 ml) was mixed with 0.5 ml of 0.2 N perchloric acid solution and the mixture was centrifuged at 3,000 g for 20 min. An aliquot (10 μl) of the supernatant (deproteinized human serum) was injected into the chromatographic system employed in this study. The assay limit for quantitation was about 10 pg for uric acid. Complete separation of uric acid was achieved in about 8 min under the present chromatographic conditions.     

Determination of polonium-210 in phosphoric acid

Polonium-210 in phosphoric acid has been recognized as a significant source of alpha contamination of processed Si-wafers for memory devices of computer. In the present work, a convenient method was developed for the determination of trace²¹⁰Po in phosphoric acid of high purity. For the determination,²⁰⁹Po was used as a yield tracer. The present method consists of (1) addition of the tracer to 5 ml aliquot of phosphoric acid sample, (2) pH adjustment (to 2) of the sample solution to make up electrolytic solution, (3) electrodeposition for the simultaneous achievement of Po separation and preparation of counting source on stainless-steel disc, and (4) alpha-ray spectrometry. By the developed method, more than 95% of Po was separated from phosphoric acid sample onto counting disc. The minimum detectable radioactivity of²¹⁰Po in 5 ml of phosphoric acid was about 0.03 mBq by counting the electrodeposited alpha-activity for 10 days under a counting efficiency of ≈30%.     

Determination of clomipramine and its hydroxylated and demethylated metabolites in plasma and urine by liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection

A procedure for the determination of clomipramine and its 8-hydroxy, demethyl, 8-hydroxydemethyl and didemethyl metabolites in plasma and urine by high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection is described. A 1-ml plasma or urine sample is made alkaline with a carbonate buffer (pH 9.8) and extracted with 20% ethyl acetate in n-heptane. After back-extraction into an acid phosphate buffer (pH 2.4), an aliquot is injected into a 5-microns ion-paired reversed-phase column and eluted with a mobile phase containing a phosphate buffer with tetramethylammonium chloride-acetonitrile (57:43). The detection is coulometric with a first cell at +0.40 V, a second at +0.73 V and a guard cell set at 0.75 V for oxidation of the mobile phase. The method provides recoveries in the general range of 80-110% and a day-to-day precision of 3.7-8.8%, depending on the compound. The minimum quantifiable level for all compounds was 0.2 ng/ml with a 20-microliters injection. Steady-state plasma concentration data and urinary levels are reported for 24 depressed patients receiving daily either 75-150 mg orally or 50-75 mg by infusion.
