HPLC Determination of Glyphosate,Aminomethylphosphonic Acid,and Glufosinate Using a Hypercarb Porous Graphite Adsorbent

A method for the HPLC determination of glyphosate, aminomethylphosphonic acid, and glufosinate using the gradient separation of analytes on a Hypercarb porous graphitized carbon adsorbent and an aqueous solution of ammonium formate and ammonia as a mobile phase is proposed. Analytes are detected using quadrupole and three-quadrupole mass spectrometers. In order to increase the retention of the analytes, the chromatographic column is washed with water before the injection of a sample solution. This procedure results in a three- to fourfold increase in the retention factors of the analytes in comparison with the analogues described in the publications.     

N-(1-Naphthyl)ethylenediamine, a New UV Labeling Reagent Used for LC Determination of Valproic Acid in Human Plasma

A high performance liquid chromatography method is presented for the determination of valproic acid levels in human plasma. The method was based on pre-column derivatization using N-(1-naphthyl)ethylenediamine as a new labeling agent. The calibration curve was linear in the investigated concentration range between 0.1 and 100 μg mL^?1 and showed good accuracy and reproducibility. The assay provided a limit of quantification of 0.1 μg mL^?1 for valproic acid and a limit of detection of 10 ng mL^?1, respectively. The presented method was successfully applied to the determination of valproic acid levels in plasma after oral administration of 600 or 800 mg of sodium valproate.

Direct Sensitive Spectrophotometric Determination of Glyphosate by Using Ninhydrin as a Chromogenic Reagent in Formulations and Environmental Water Samples

A simple, sensitive, and rapid spectrophotometric method for the assay of glyphosate (= N‐(phosphonomethyl)glycine) in various formulations (Roundup, Excel Mera 71) and environmental water samples is described. The method is based on the reaction of glyphosate with ninhydrin in presence of sodium molybdate in neutral aqueous medium at 100° to give a Ruhemann's purple product having the VIS absorption maximum at 570 nm (Scheme, Fig. 1). The product is stable for 10 h. Beer's law is obeyed in the concentration range of 0.1–3.5 μg ml^?1. The molar absorptivity and Sandell's sensitivity are 3.2816 ? 10⁴ l mol^?1 cm^?1 and 5.2 ng cm^?2, respectively (Table 1). The method is highly reproducible, as confirmed by the relative‐standard‐deviation (r.s.d.) values (1.70%; Table 2). Recovery studies establish that this method is accurate (Table 5) and can be successfully employed for the determination of glyphosate.     

LC-DAD-ESI-MS Characterization of Carbohydrates Using a New Labeling Reagent

A sensitive and selective liquid chromatographic tandem mass spectrometric (LC–MS–MS) method was developed for simultaneous identification and quantification of tamsulosin and dutasteride in human plasma, which was well applied to clinical study. The method was based on liquid–liquid extraction, followed by an LC procedure with a Gemini C-18, 50 mm × 2.0 mm (3 μm) column and using methanol:ammonium formate (97:3, v/v) as the mobile phase. Protonated ions formed by a turbo ionspray in positive mode were used to detect analytes and internal standard. MS–MS detection was by monitoring the fragmentation of 409.1 → 228.1 (m/z) for tamsulosin, 529.3 → 461.3 (m/z) for dutasteride and 373.2 → 305.3 (m/z) for finasteride (IS) on a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. The lower limit of quantification for both tamsulosin and dutasteride was 1 ng mL⁻¹. The proposed method enables the unambiguous identification and quantification of tamsulosin and dutasteride for clinical drug monitoring.

     

LC-DAD-ESI-MS Characterization of Carbohydrates Using a New Labeling Reagent

A novel labeling reagent 1-(2-naphthyl)-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone (NMP) coupling to liquid chromatography with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry for the detection of carbohydrates from the derivatized rape bee pollen samples is reported. Carbohydrates are derivatized to their bis-NMP-labeled derivatives. Derivatives showed an intense protonated molecular ion at m/z [M+H]⁺ in positive-ion detection mode. The mass-to-charge ratios of characteristic fragment ions at m/z 473.0 could be used for the accurately qualitative analysis of carbohydrates. This characteristic fragment ion is from the cleavage of C2–C3 bond in carbohydrate chain giving the specific fragment ions at m/z [MH-C _m H_2m+1O _m -H₂O]⁺ for pentose, hexose and glyceraldehydes and at m/z [MH-C _m H_2m-1O _m+1-H₂O]⁺ for alduronic acids such as galacturonic acid and glucuronic acid (m = n ? 2, n is carbon number of carbohydrate). No interferences for all aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes presented in natural environmental samples were observed due to the highly specific parent mass-to-charge ratio and the characteristic fragment ions. The method, in conjunction with a gradient elution, offered a baseline resolution of carbohydrate derivatives on a reversed-phase Hypersil ODS-2 column. The carbohydrates such as mannose, galacturonic acid, glucuronic acid, rhamnose, glucose, galactose, xylose, arabinose and fucose can successfully be detected.     

Simultaneous Determination of Glyphosate,Glufosinate, and Aminomethylphosphonic Acid by Capillary Electrophoresis After 9‐Fluorenylmethyl Chloroformate Derivatization

A capillary electrophoresis (CE) with UV absorption detection method is described for the simultaneous determination of glufosinate, glyphosate, and aminomethylphosphoric acid. The 9‐fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (FMOC‐Cl) was used for precolumn derivatization of the non‐absorbing herbicides. The three analytes were separated by CE in 9 min with 25 mM borate buffer at pH 9, followed by detection with a UV detector at 260 nm. We demonstrate how the detection limit can be enhanced by using acetonitrile‐salt mixtures. With acetonitrile‐salt mixtures, the limit of detection (LOD) was in the 10^?7 M range. Linearity of more than two orders of magnitude was generally obtained. Precisions of migration times and peak areas were less than 0.9% and 7.5%, respectively. The applicabilities of the method for the analysis of ground water and lake water were examined.

Extraction-Spectrophotometric Determination of Fluoride Using N-Phenylbenzohydroxamic Acid

Abstract

Fluoride gives a very stable complex with scandium and, hence, by determining the unreacted scandium, the fluoride content can be calculated. Excess scandium is reacted with an ethanolic solution of N-benzoylphenylhydroxylamine (BPHA) at pH 6.0, and the scandium-BPHA complex is extracted into isoamyl alcohol. Scandium is determined spectrophotometrically after adding xylenol orange. Beer's law for fluoride is obeyed in the range of 0.05 –1.5 ppm; the molar absorptivity is 1.94×10⁴ 1 mol^?1 at 565 nm. The procedure is applicable for the determination of fluoride in various types of samples.

Determination of Free Fatty Acids in Tibet Folk Medicine Potentilla anserina L. Using a New Labeling Reagent by LC with Fluorescence Detection and Identification with Online Atmospheric Chemical Ionization-MS Identification

A sensitive method for the determination of free fatty acids using 1,2-benzo-carbazole-9-ethyl-p-toluenesulfonate (BCETS) as tagging reagent with fluorescence detection has been developed. BCETS could easily and quickly label fatty acids in the presence of the K₂CO₃ catalyst at 80 °C for 30 min in N,N-dimethylformamide solvent. In this study, fatty acids from the extracted Potentilla anserina L. plant sample were sensitively determined. The corresponding derivatives were separated on a reversed-phase Eclipse XDB-C₈ column by LC in conjunction with gradient elution. The identification was carried out by post-column APCI-MS in positive-ion detection mode. BCETS-fatty acid derivatives gave an intense molecular ion peak at m/z [M+H]⁺, the collision-induced dissociation spectra of m/z [M+H]⁺ produced the specific fragment ions at m/z [M′+CH₂CH₂]⁺, m/z 216.6 and m/z [MH?H₂O]⁺ (here, M′: corresponding molecular mass of the fatty acids). The fluorescence excitation and emission wavelengths of the derivatives were at λ _ex 279 nm and λ _em 380 nm, respectively. Linear correlation coefficients for all fatty acid derivatives are more than 0.9994. Detection limits, at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3:1, are 10.79–34.19 fmol for the labeled fatty acids.     

离子色谱-质谱法测定生活饮用水中草甘膦和氨甲基磷酸

草甘膦(GLY)是一种广泛使用的除草剂[1-2],生活饮用水国家标准GB 5749-2006中规定,草甘膦的限值为0.7mg·L-1。草甘膦的主要代谢产物为氨甲基磷酸(AMPA)[3],因为草甘膦和氨甲基磷酸亲水性极强,不易挥发,所以采用气相色谱-串联质谱法(GC-MS/MS)[4-5]进行测定时,必须进行衍生,但是衍生法操作条件苛刻、重现性差。另外,草甘膦和氨甲基磷酸在C18柱上没有保留,采用高效液相色谱-质谱法进行测定时,极易受到干扰[6-11]。

Colorimetric Determination of Ampicillin and 6-Aminopenicillanic Acid Using Acenaphthenequinone as a Chromophoric Reagent

Abstract

A colorimetric method for the determination of ampicillin (Amp.) and 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA) are described, based on the reaction of these drugs with acenaphthenequinone in basic media to give a highly intense red coloured product. The latter exhibits an absorption maximum at 610 nm with apparent molar absorptivities of 2.83 and 1.45 × 10⁴ l. mol^?1 cm^?1 and Sandell sensitivities of 0.013 and 0.015 μg cm^?2 for Amp. and 6-APA, respectively. The optimum concentration ranges are 0.4-10 and 0.4-14 μg ml^?1 for Amp. and 6-APA, respectively. For more accurate results, Ringbom optimum concentration ranges are 1–8.5 and 1–12 μg ml^?1 for Amp. and 6-APA, respectively. Statistical analysis indicated that there was no significant difference between the results obtained by the described method and those of the official methods. The mean recoveries percentage were found to be 99.5 × 1.1% for pharmaceutical formulations and 99.1 × 1.6% for serum and urine samples. The method is selective for the determination of Amp. or 6-APA in the presence of their degradation products, additives and excipiences that are normally encountered in dosage forms. The proposed method was applied successfully to the determination of Amp. in pharmaceutical formulations. Also, applicability of the proposed method to human serum and urine is presented and the validity assessed by applying the standard addition technique.     

Determination and Identification of Primary Aliphatic Amines Using 4-(1H-Phenanthro[9,10-d]Imidazol-2-yl)Benzoic Acid as Novel Pre-Column Labeling Reagent by LC with Fluorescence Detection and Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization Mass Spectroscopy

4-(1H-Phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazol-2-yl)benzoic acid (PIBA), a new amine-reactive fluorescent probe was synthesized and used as a pre-column derivatizing reagent for the determination of aliphatic amines from environmetal water samples. Derivatization was successfully carried out by a condensation reaction using 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide hydrochloride as the dehydrant. Studies on derivatization conditions indicated that the condensation reaction proceeded rapidly and smoothly in the presence of pyridine. Amines were labeled with PIBA to give the corresponding sensitively fluorescent derivatives with an excitation maximum at λ _ex 260 nm and an emission maximum at λ _em 445 nm. Identification of derivatives was carried out by online APCI–MS–MS and showed an intense protonated molecular ion corresponding m/z [M + H]⁺ in the positive ion mode. Excellent linear responses were observed with coefficients of >0.9996. Detection limits were 6.7–27 fmol (at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3). The mean intra- and inter-assay precision for all amine levels were <2.79 and 3.85%, respectively. The established method for the determination of aliphatic amines from real water was satisfactory.     

LC Determination of Phthalate Esters in Water Samples Using Continuous-Flow Microextraction

A novel method, continuous-flow microextraction (CFME) combined with liquid chromatography (LC) with variable-wavelength detector (VWD), has been developed for the determination of three phthalate esters (dimethyl phthalate (DMP), diethyl phthalate (DEP), and di-n-butyl phthalate (DnBP)) in water samples. Experimental parameters including extraction solvent, solvent drop volume, flow rate of sample solution, extraction time and ionic strength, which affected the extraction efficiency, were studied and optimized. Under the optimum extraction conditions, the method yields a linear calibration curve in the concentration range of 10–10,000 ng mL^?1 for target analytes. The enrichment factors of this method for DMP, DEP and DnBP reached at 27, 44 and 20, respectively, and the detection limits were 2, 1 and 5 ng mL^?1, respectively. Good repeatability of extraction was obtained with relative standard deviations below 8.6%. The results demonstrated that CFME followed by LC-VWD is a simple and reliable technique for the determination of phthalate esters in water samples.

Determination of Tranexamic Acid Using Ethyl Chloroformate as Derivatizing Reagent in Pharmaceutical Preparations and Blood by GC

Ethyl chloroformate was used as a derivatizing reagent to develop a simple and sensitive gas chromatographic procedure for the determination of tranexamic acid. Analysis was performed on an HP-5 column (30 m × 0.32 mm i.d.) coupled with mass spectrometric detection. Linear response was obtained from 60 to 500 pg with a limit of detection of 20 pg tranexamic acid injected onto the column. Aminocaproic acid was used as an internal standard. Tranexamic acid was determined in pharmaceutical preparations and blood samples after therapy with the drug. Appoximately 2.0 μg mL^?1 was found in blood samples. Relative standard deviation for analysis was within 0.1–0.4% (n = 3). Recovery of tranexamic acid added to deprotenized serum was 99.6% with an RSD of 1.2–1.6% (n = 3). Pharmaceutical additives and amino acids, if also present, did not affect the determination.
