Glycosylated Hemoglobin Determinations by Isocratic High-Performance Liquid Chromatography

Abstract

Glycosylated hemoglobins were separated isocratically by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on a cation-exchanger (CM-300). Both the stable and the labile fractions eluted together. The labile fraction was eliminated by incubating the red blood cells at 37[ddot]C for 20 min in a acidic buffer before injecting the sample on the column

The column plate number was found to be dependent on the amount of sample injected. The capacity factor was dependent on the type of buffer, pH and ionic strength. Controls were preserved by preparing the hemolysates in 5% ethylene glycol. The method compared favorably with a commercial disposable minicolumn method.

Determination of Bumetanide in Human Plasma and Urine by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography with Fluorescence Detection

Abstract

This paper describes a new high-pressure liquid chromatographic method used for quantitation of bumetanide in urine and plasma. Compared to previously reported methods, this assay offers the advantages of increased sensitivity, shortened sample preparation time and decreased instrumentation requirements. After addition of the 4-benzyl derivative of bumetanide as the internal standard, both urine and plasma underwent a single extraction with ethyl acetate at an acidic pH. The organic extract was separated, evaporated to dryness, reconstituted with methanol, and chromatographed using a reversed-phase C-18 radial compression cartridge with fluorescence detection. Sensitivity limits are approximately 1 ng of bumetanide per mL of plasma, with a coefficient of variation for identical samples never exceeding 6%. The method lends itself to pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies of bumetanide in humans following single therapeutic doses.

Determination of Pyridostigmine in Human Plasma by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography

Abstract

An easy to perform, specific, reproducible and sensitive high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method to measure pyridostigmine concentration in human plasma was developed and validated. Sample clean-up consists of ion-pair extraction into dichloromethane in the presence of neostigmine as internal standard, followed by back extraction into an aqueous phase. Mean recovery of 110% (with a standard deviation of 10%) was determined for concentrations of 5 – 100 ng/ml. Chromatography on a 125·4 mm CN-propyl column using a mobile phase composed of 10% acetonitrile in 3.5×10^?4M NaH₂PO₄ and UV detection at 270 nm, yields clean chromatograms without any interferences from endogenous plasma components. Using 1 ml plasma samples the method has a limit of detection (LD) of 3 ng/ml, with %CV (precision) and bias (accuracy) ≥ 10% for concentrations in the range of 0–100 ng/ml. The method is being used in human pharmacokinetic studies of oral dosage forms of pyridostigmine.

The Rapid Determination of Neutral Sugars in Biological Samples by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography

Abstract

A procedure for the analysis of neutral sugars in biological specimens is described. The method entails acid hydrolysis of the sample to liberate monosaccharides, which are subsequently derivatized with dansyl hydrazine. The sugar-dansyl hydrazones are separated and quantitated by hplc on a 5μ C18 RadialPak column with a gradient of acetonitrile in 10mM ammonium sulfate at pH 7. Fluorescent detection of the derivatized sugars permits 100-fold increased sensitivity compared to previously published glc methods.

This procedure was applied to the neutral sugar analysis of a glycoprotein of known composition (thyroglobulin) and to hard keratin fibers. The latter substance served as a model to critically evaluate the method on a highly resistant biological matrix containing low concentrations of neutral sugars.

Determination of Steroids in Human Urine by Micellar Liquid Chromatography

Abstract

A simple and sensitive method for the determination of steroids using micellar liquid chromatography is described. The steroids, including hydroxycorticosterone. corticosterone, northisterone, testosterone, mexdroprogesterone acetate and progesterone, were separated by reversed-phase using a micelles mobile phase following UV detection at 245 nm. The parameters affecting retention of the test solutes such as the concentration of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and n-butanol-1 in the mobile phase were investigated. It was found that the retention of the solutes was dependent on the composition of mobile phase. The linear calibration plots range from 0.1 to 10 μg ml^?1 in mobile phase containing 5.0 × 10^?2 mol l^?1 SDS/9 % n-butanol-1 at pH 6.0, and the detection limit in order of 0.1 μg ml^?1 was obtained. The proposed method was used for the determination of steroids in urine using direct injection of samples without previous treatment.

Abstract

A selective and sensitive method for the determination of piritramide in human plasma is described. After addition of 50 μl of 2 M ammonia and 20 μl of aqueous promethazine solution (100 ng/10 μ1) as an internal standard, 1 ml of plasma was extracted with 5 ml of toluene (extraction efficiency: 93.9 × 2.6%; mean × S. D.; n = 5). HPLC was performed with a phenyl hypersil NC-04 column, particle size 5 μm, 250 × 4 mm I. D.; mobile phase: 8 parts of acetonitrile and 2 parts of 10 mM potassium phosphate buffer (pH 3. 3). The flow rate was set to 2 ml/min and the column temperature was 22°C. The assay was linear in a concentration range of 3.75 ? 3000 ng/ml (r = 0.999), with a lower limit of detection of 3 ng/ml. The precision was determined using spiked plasma samples (15 ng/ml; 300 ng/ml), with coefficients of variation of 6.1 and 5.9% (intraday; n = 5) and 6.5 and 0.2% (interday; n = 3). In the range of 5.6 ? 1500 ng/ml, the accuracy of the assay was 2.82%. The method was used for the determination of piritramide plasma concentrations in patients receiving intra- or postoperative analgesia.

Quantitative Analysis of Pentalgin ICN Tablets by Gradient and Isocratic High-Performance Liquid Chromatography

Two procedures were proposed for determining analgin (dipyrone), paracetamol, caffeine, phenobarbital, and codeine in the multicomponent drug Pentalgin ICN with the use of HPLC in gradient and isocratic modes. In the gradient version, columns packed with Nucleosil 100 C18 or Nova-Pak C18 adsorbents were used; at the initial stage, an acetonitrile-water mixture was used as an eluant, and a 0.025 M KH₂PO₄ solution was introduced as a mobile phase constituent after the emergence of all peaks other than that of codeine or immediately after the emergence of the analgin peak. In the isocratic version, a Nova-Pak CN HP column was used; a 1% KH₂PO₄ solution containing 5 vol % acetonitrile was an eluant. The detector wavelength was 212 nm. The separation time was shorter than 10 min (mobile-phase flow rate of 1 mL/min). Model solutions containing all active components and additives of the tablets were analyzed, and the performance characteristics of both procedures were calculated. The procedures ensure reliable analytical results; however, the isocratic version is technically simpler and more preferable for product control in commercial manufacture.

Determination of the Antimalarial Primaquine in Whole Blood and Urine by Normal-Phase High-Performance Liquid Chromatography

Abstract

A method has been developed to estimate primaquine in whole blood and urine by sensitive and selective high-performance liquid chromatography. Using the linear chain analogue of primaquine as the internal standard, a single-step extraction, normal-phase silica column with a basic mobile phase, levels down to 1 ng/ml of primaquine could be measured with good precision. Other anti-malarials like amodiaquine and pyrimethamine did not interfere in the assay. The major carboxylic acid metabolite of primaquine did not elute under the normal-phase chromatographic conditions. The method is suitable for use in clinical pharmacokinetic studies with primaquine.

Abstract

An improved reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatographic technique for the rapid simultaneous analysis of patecnolamines is presented.

The catecholamines are preconcentrated by employing a single preconcentration step, solid-liquid extraction, with active alumina.

A C₁₈ reversed-phase column is used and the catecholamines are detected at 280 nm. the retention time is 3.7 min for norepinophrine, 4.5 min for epinephrine and 6.2 min for dopamine using an eluting system of 0.165 M AcOH 1 pc in MeOH.

The within-run precision CVs are in the order of 7 pc whereas the day-to-day precision CVs are in the order of 10 pc for concentrations near the upper normal limits. the application of the technique to a series of hypertensive subjects indicated, after comparison with three patients with than sixfold of upper normal limits in addition to fourfold or more increase in DA excretion seems to be indicative for the presence of malignant pheochfomocytoma. to assess the efficiency of such a discriminating criterion a larger number of cases of pheochromocytoma and essential hypertension have to be studied. In conclusion, we propose a rapid, precise and low-cost HPLC technique for the determination of urinary catecholamines requiring only one pump and a UV-detector. the technique may prove useful in hospitals as a tool in discriminating between essential hypertention and pheochromocytoma.
