A high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the analysis of chlorhexidine in human serum and urine was developed. Chlorhexidine and the internal standard, chlorpheniramine, were extracted into chloroform, containing 5% 2-propanol, and back-extracted into dilute sulfuric acid. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a C18 column equilibrated with methanol-water (70:30, v/v), containing 0.005 M sodium heptane-sulfonate.

The application of this method to monitor chlorhexidine levels in burn patients treated topically with a chlorhexidine-containing burn cream was demonstrated.     

The study of a chemiluminescence immunoassay using the peroxyoxalate chemiluminescent reaction and its application

The paper presented a novel chemiluminescence (CL) immunoassay method, which combines the advantages of traditional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) and bis (2,4,6-trichlorophenyl) oxalate (TCPO)-hydrogen peroxide CL detection system. A fluorescent product 2,3-diaminophenazine (DAPN) was produced by reaction between o-phenylenediamine (OPDA, 1,2-diaminobenzene) and H₂O₂ catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase (HRP). DAPN was excited by the reactive intermediate of TCPO-H₂O₂ chemiluminescent reaction, and led to CL. The dependence of the CL intensity on the concentrations of antigen was studied. As analytical application, the proposed method was used for determination of recombinant human interleukin 6 (rHu IL-6) and β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG). Under the selected experimental conditions, a linear relationship was obtained between the CL intensity and the concentration of rHu IL-6 in the range of 4.0-625.0 pg/ml, and β-HCG in the range of 12.5-400.0 mIU/ml. The detection limits were 0.5 pg/ml for rHu IL-6 and 3 mIU/ml for β-HCG with relative standard deviation of 2.3 for 78.0 pg/ml rHu IL-6, and 3.9 for 50.0 mIU/ml β-HCG. This method has been applied to the determination of rHu IL-6 in human serum and β-HCG in urine with satisfactory results.

This work reports a novel flow injection (FI) method for the determination of captopril, 1-[(2S)-3-mercapto-2-methylpropionyl]-l-proline (CPL), based on the enhancement CPL affords on the chemiluminescence (CL) reaction between luminol and hydrogen peroxide. For this purpose alkaline luminol and hydrogen peroxide solutions were mixed online, the sample containing CPL was injected into an aqueous carrier stream, mixed with the luminol-hydrogen peroxide stream and pumped into a glass flow cell positioned in front of a photomultiplier tube (PMT). The increase in the CL intensity was recorded in the form of FI peaks, the height of which was related to the CPL mass concentration in the sample. Different chemical and instrumental parameters affecting the CL response were investigated. Under the selected conditions, the log-log calibration curve was linear in the range 5-5000 μg l⁻¹ of CPL, the limit of detection was 2 μg l⁻¹ (at the 3σ level), the R.S.D., s_r was 3.1% at the 100 μg l⁻¹ level (n=8) and the sampling rate was 180 injections h⁻¹. The method was applied to the determination of CPL in pharmaceutical formulations with recoveries in the range 100±3%.     

Lanthanide sensitized chemiluminescence determination of grepafloxacin in tablets and human urine

A flow-injection chemiluminescence (CL) method, based on the luminescent properties of the Ce(IV)-Na₂SO₃-lanthanide(III)-grepafloxacin system, was developed for the determination of grepafloxacin {1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-5-methyl-7-(3-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid}. La(III), Tb(III), and Eu(III) ions were tested as possible chemiluminescence sensitizers. The best results were achieved when Tb(III) was used as lanthanide ion, so the technique was optimised working with this ion. Under the optimum experimental conditions, the linear range was 0.05-2.00 μg ml⁻¹ grepafloxacin, with a 0.01 μg ml⁻¹ detection limit and 2.0% relative standard deviation (n=10). The proposed procedure has been applied to the determination of grepafloxacin in tablets and spiked human urine.

Sensitive detection of oxo-steroids and oxo-bile acids by liquid chromatography with peroxyoxalate chemiluminescence detection

Oxo-steroids and oxo-bile acid ethyl esters were derivatized with 5-N,N-dimethylamino-naphthalene-1-sulphonohydrazide (DNS-hydrazine) to DNS-hydrazone in the presence of hydrochloric acid in ethanol or trifluoroacetic acid in benzene, purified by high-performance gel-permeation chromatography, separated on an ODS column with an eluent containing tetrahydrofuran and detected via a peroxyoxalate chemiluminescence reaction using bis[4-nitro-2-(3,6,9-trioxadecyloxycarbonyl)phenyl] oxalate (TDPO). Sensitive detection (femtomole level) of each oxo-steroid which appeared as a single peak was achieved. The procedure for the isolation of oxo-bile acids developed for GC-MS allowed the detection by this system of an unusual oxo-bile acid, 7α-hydroxy-3-oxo-5β-cholanic acid, at the nanomole l^?1 level in urine from a patient with cholestatic liver disease.

The excitation of fluorophores is generated by the reaction of bis-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)oxalate or bis(2,4-dinitrophenyl)oxalate and hydrogen peroxide, which are added to the column effluent. The influence of the solvents and the concentrations of the reagents have been investigated. The influence of the flow cell volume on sensitivity and on band broadening have also been studied and a chemical band narrowing effect has been observed. Different types of apparatus have been compared for detection of the emitted light. The system has been used for the detection of the dansyl derivative of a drug with a secondary amine functional group in serum samples. The detection limits are in the 1–10pg range.     

Continuous chemiluminescence determination of formaldehyde in air based on Trautz-Schorigin reaction

A new continuous method for the determination of formaldehyde in air is described. A cylindrical wet effluent diffusion denuder is used for the collection of formaldehyde from air into a thin film of absorption liquid (distilled-deionized water). Formaldehyde in the denuder concentrate is on-line detected employing a chemiluminescence flow method based on a reaction of formaldehyde and gallic acid with hydrogen peroxide in an alkaline solution. The collection efficiency of formaldehyde is quantitative at the air flow rate of 0.5 L min⁻¹ (absorption liquid flow rate of 336 μL min⁻¹). The limit of detection (S/N = 3) is 0.60 μg m⁻³ HCHO (0.49 ppb). The calibration graph is linear up to 300 μg m⁻³ HCHO (244 ppb). The relative standard deviations of chemiluminescence method for 1 × 10⁻⁶ and 5 × 10⁻⁶ M HCHO are 2.87% and 1.49%, respectively. Acetaldehyde interferes negligible, other compounds do not interfere. The method was employed for formaldehyde measurement in ambient air. The comparison measurement illustrates the good agreement of results obtained by proposed method with those obtained by reference fluorimetric method.     

Determination of artemisinin in human serum by high-performance liquid chromatography with on-line UV irradiation and peroxyoxalate chemiluminescence detection

Artemisinin is an antimalarial drug containing an internal endoperoxide linkage in its structure. A simple, selective and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-peroxyoxalate chemiluminescence (PO-CL) method for the determination of artemisinin was developed. This method is based on the fact that endoperoxide in artemisinin structure can be converted to hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation and the generated hydrogen peroxide can be measured using PO-CL detection. The HPLC-PO-CL system was optimized on a mobile phase, post column chemiluminescence reagent, UV source and irradiation time. In addition, the system was combined with simple liquid-liquid extraction using n-hexane that allowed selective and sensitive determination of artemisinin in serum. The limit of detection using 0.5 mL of blood was 0.062 micromol/L (17.5 ng/mL) at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. Calibration curve obtained for artemisinin in human serum 4-80 micromol/L (1.1-22.6 microg/mL) showed a good linearity (r = 0.999).     

A microfluidic system for evaluation of antioxidant capacity based on a peroxyoxalate chemiluminescence assay

A microfluidic system incorporating chemiluminescence detection is reported as a new tool for measuring antioxidant capacity. The detection is based on a peroxyoxalate chemiluminescence (PO-CL) assay with 9,10-bis-(phenylethynyl)anthracene (BPEA) as the fluorescent probe and hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant. Antioxidant plugs injected into the hydrogen peroxide stream result in inhibition of the CL emission which can be quantified and correlated with antioxidant capacity. The PO-CL assay is performed in 800-μm-wide and 800-μm-deep microchannels on a poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) microchip. Controlled injection of the antioxidant plugs is performed through an injection valve. Of the plant-food based antioxidants tested, β-carotene was found to be the most efficient hydrogen peroxide scavenger (SA _HP of 3.27 × 10⁻³ μmol⁻¹ L), followed by α-tocopherol (SA _HP of 2.36 × 10⁻³ μmol⁻¹ L) and quercetin (SA _HP of 0.31 × 10⁻³ μmol⁻¹ L). Although the method is inherently simple and rapid, excellent analytical performance is afforded in terms of sensitivity, dynamic range, and precision, with RSD values typically below 1.5%. We expect our microfluidic devices to be used for in-the-field antioxidant capacity screening of plant-sourced food and pharmaceutical supplements.

Micro flow sensor on a chip for the determination of terbutaline in human serum based on chemiluminescence and a molecularly imprinted polymer

Based on a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) as the recognition element, a novel chemiluminescence (CL) micro flow sensor on a chip for the determination of terbutaline in human serum is described. The MIP was prepared by using terbutaline as the template, methacrylic acid (MAA) as the functional monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as the cross-linking monomer, and acetonitrile as the solvent. The chip was fabricated from two 50 mm × 40 mm × 5 mm transparent poly (methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) slices. The microchannels on the chip etched by CO₂ laser were 200 μm wide and 150 μm deep. The microsensor cell filled with 2 mg MIP for selectively on line adsorbing terbutaline was 10 mm long, 1 mm wide, and 0.5 mm deep. All reagents were controlled by the syringe pump with an accurate timer. The on line adsorbed terbutaline by the MIP can enhance the CL intensity of the reaction of luminol with ferricyanide. The enhanced CL intensity is linear with terbutaline concentration from 8.0 to 100 ng/mL with a detection limit of 4.0 ng/mL (3σ). The micro flow sensor provides for good reproducibility with the relative standard deviation of 3.6% (n = 7) for 20 ng/mL terbutaline.     

Use of a diazocoupling reaction for sensitive and selective spectrophotometeric determination of furosemide in spiked human urine and pharmaceuticals

Two simple, sensitive, and selective spectrophotometric methods for the determination of 5-(aminosulfonyl)-4-chloro-2-((2-furanylmethyl)amino)benzoic acid (furosemide, FUR) are described. The methods are based on acid hydrolysis of FUR to free primary aromatic amine and diazotization followed by coupling with N-1-napthylethylene diamine (NEDA) (method A) or 4,5-dihydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulfonic acid (chromotropic acid, CTA) (method B). The colored reaction product can be measured spectrophotometrically at 520 nm (method A) or 500 nm (method B). Beer’s law is obeyed over the ranges of 1.75–21.0 μg mL⁻¹ and 2.5–30.0 μg mL⁻¹, for method A and method B, respectively. Apparent molar absorptivities and Sandell’s sensitivities (in L mol⁻¹ cm⁻¹ and μg cm⁻² per 0.001 absorbance unit, respectively) were 1.34 × 10⁴ and 0.0253 using NEDA as the coupling agent, and 8.5 × 10³ and 0.0389 using CTA for the same purpose. Analysis of solutions containing seven different concentrations of FUR gave a correlation coefficient of 0.9979 using NEDA and 0.9984 using CTA, while the slope and the correlation coefficient of the regression equation were calculated. The reaction stoichiometry in both methods was evaluated by the limiting logarithmic method and was found to be 1: 1 (diazotized FUR: NEDA or diazotized FUR: CTA). The methods were successfully applied to the determination of FUR in spiked human urine and in pharmaceutical formulations. The recovery of FUR from spiked urine was satisfactory resulting in the values of (109.4 ± 4.37) % using NEDA and (113.0 ± 4.74) % using CTA. Results of the analysis of pharmaceuticals demonstrated that the proposed procedures are at least as accurate and precise as the official method while a statistical analysis indicated that there was no significant difference between the results obtained by the proposed methods and those of the official method.
