Analysis of Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs in Water Samples Using Microemulsion Electrokinetic Capillary Chromatography Under pH-Suppressed Electroosmotic Flow with an On-Column Preconcentration Technique

Microemulsion electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MEEKC) in a suppressed electroosmotic flow (EOF) strategy was investigated for analysing a group of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in water samples. The EOF was effectively suppressed with an acidic buffer as the aqueous phase. Four water immiscible solvents, oils (n-heptane, n-octane, ethyl acetate and di-n-butyl tartrate) and three organic solvents (methanol, 2-propanol and acetonitrile) were tested to optimise the pseudostationary phase and to obtain efficient separations. The optimum microemulsion background electrolyte (BGE) solution consisted of 0.8% (w/w) n-heptane, 6.6 (w/w) butan-1-ol, 15.0% (w/w) acetonitrile, 3.3% (w/w) sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and 74.3% (w/w) of 25 mM sodium phosphate at pH 2.5. Stacking with reverse migrating pseudostationary phase (SRMP) was applied to enhance the concentration sensitivity of the NSAIDs. When this preconcentration technique was used, the sample stacking and the separation processes took place successively with the same voltage without an intermediate polarity switching step. Detection limits (LODs) in the order of 5–15 μg L⁻¹ for the NSAIDs were obtained using SRMP for standard solutions. The developed method was validated for the analysis of NSAIDs in tap water samples by combining an off-line solid-phase extraction (SPE) step and the on-column preconcentration technique SRMP. The LODs were in the 100–230 ng L⁻¹ range.     

Application of DLLME to Isolation and Concentration of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs in Environmental Water Samples

Dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (DLLME) coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry detection was applied for determination of selected anti-inflammatory pharmaceuticals: ibuprofen, ketoprofen, naproxen and diclofenac. Development of DLLME procedure included optimisation of several important parameters such as kind and volume of extracting and dispersive solvents as well as sample pH. Under optimised conditions a two-step extraction with sonication was used. Chloroform was applied as the extracting and acetone as dispersing solvent. Calibration curves ranges were 1–500 μg L^?1 for naproxen and ibuprofen and 0.25–500 μg L^?1 for ketoprofen and diclofenac with correlation coefficients at least 0.997. Limits of quantitation were from 0.5 to 10 ng L^?1. The developed analytical method was employed for determination of ibubrofen, ketoprofen, naproxen and diclofenac in river and tap water samples. The results showed that DLLME is a simple, rapid and sensitive analytical technique for the pre-concentration of trace amounts of pharmaceuticals in environmental water samples.     

Challenges and Progress in Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Co-Crystal Development

Co-crystal innovation is an opportunity in drug development for both scientists and industry. In line with the “green pharmacy” concept for obtaining safer methods and advanced pharmaceutical products, co-crystallization is one of the most promising approaches to find novel patent drugs, including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID). This kind of multi-component system improves previously poor physicochemical and mechanical properties through non-covalent interactions. Practically, there are many challenges to find commercially viable co-crystal drugs. The difficulty in selecting co-formers becomes the primary problem, followed by unexpected results, such as decreased solubility and dissolution, spring and parachute effect, microenvironment pH effects, changes in instability, and polymorphisms, which can occur during the co-crystal development. However, over time, NSAID co-crystals have been continuously updated regarding co-formers selection and methods development.

Determination of Three Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs in Human Plasma by LC Coupled with Chemiluminescence Detection

A simple and sensitive method was developed for the determination of three nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)—ibuprofen, naproxen and fenbufen in human plasma. The method involved in column liquid chromatographic separation and chemilumenescence (CL) detection based on the CL reaction of NSAIDs, potassium permanganate (KMnO₄) and sodium sulfite (Na₂SO₃) in sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) medium. The chromatographic separation was carried out using a reversed-phase C₁₈ column, which allowed the selective determination of the three medicines in the complicated samples. The special features of the CL detector provided lower LOD for determination than that of existing chromatographic alternatives. The results indicated that the linear ranges were 0.01–10.0 μg mL^?1 for ibuprofen, 0.001–1.0 μg mL^?1 for naproxen, and 0.01–10.0 μg mL^?1 for fenbufen. The limits of detection were 0.5 ng mL^?1 for ibuprofen, 0.05 ng mL^?1 for naproxen and 0.5 ng mL^?1 for fenbufen (S/N = 3). All average recoveries were in the range of 90.0–102.3%. Finally, the method had been satisfactorily applied for the determination of ibuprofen, naproxen and fenbufen in human plasma samples.

Sequential Injection Magneto Chromatography Determination of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs in Pharmaceutical Formulations

A magnetic separation method based on the use of magnetic silica as the stationary phase in sequential injection chromatography was used for simultaneous determination of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (acetaminophen, naproxen, diclofenac, and ibuprofen) in tablets. The method is based on a thin layer paramagnetic stationary phase retained on the inner wall of a mini-column through the action of an external magnetic field. The influence of the variables involved was evaluated and the optimal conditions were found to be: a methyl-silica magnetic adsorbent was used as the stationary phase, the mobile phase was methanol-water (60:40, v/v), pH 2.5 adjusted with 98% phosphoric acid, a flow rate 0.60 ml min^?1, and UV detection at 225 nm. Under these conditions, the linear range of the calibration curve ranged from 3–6 mg L^?1 to 100 mg L^?1 with limits of detection ranging between 1 to 2 mg L^?1. The proposed method was validated by comparing the results obtained against those provided by high performance liquid chromatography; no significant differences were seen.

Preparation of On-Column Frits in Packed Fused Silica Capillaries by Sol-Gel Technology

Existing methods for preparing frits in packed fused silica capillaries as used for electrochromatography and micro HPLC are not applicable to all silica based packing materials and involve a high thermal stress for both the stationary phase and the fused silica tubing including the polyimide coating. A new procedure for the production of such on-column frits under mild conditions by a sol-gel type reaction of polydimethoxysiloxane (PDMOS) is described in this paper. Reaction conditions were established for optimum mechanical stability and high permeability of the frits. Frits produced in this manner showed no noticeable effect on the overall efficiency.

Preconcentration of Trace Elements in Water for Speciation Studies

Trace element speciation has recently become one of the most important problems in water analysis. Proper combination of preconcentration techniques with instrumental determination methods is essential to speciation analysis, because sensitivity and selectivity of direct determination methods are generally lacking. The present paper describes such preconcentration techniques as filtration, centrifugation, flotation and sorption, which have been developed in the author's laboratory for the speciation of heavy metals in river and pond waters by electron microscopy, X-ray microanalysis and chemical analysis. The application of freeze concentration to the speciation of silica in high-purity waters is also discussed.

Preconcentration and Quantitative Determination of Esomeprazole Magnesium Present in Water

A simple, accurate, and sensitive preconcentration method for determination of esomeprazole magnesium in treated sewage water was developed based on HPLC. A preconcentration method was developed for aqueous solution containing pure drug using solid phase extraction. Macroporous beads of polystyrene divinyl benzene (PSDVB) polymer were used for preconcentration followed by chromatographic determination. Experimental parameters were optimized. This optimized method can detect esomeprazole magnesium concentration up to 0.003 mg L^?1 after preconcentration. This method was used for determination of esomeprazole magnesium in water collected from a sewage treatment facility. Esomeprazole magnesium could not be detected in the treated sewage water sample collected for the study.
