Online Concentration by Head-column Field-amplified with Large-volume Sample Stacking Using Flow Injection-Capillary Electrophoresis for the Analysis of Four Active Components in Cold Medicines.

A simple, effective, and sensitive online concentration method for the detection of dextromethorphan hydrobromide (Dex), chlorphenamine hydrogen maleate (Chl), pseudoephedrine hydrochloride (Pse) and paracetamol (Par) based on flow injection-capillary electrophoresis (FI-CE) analysis with head-column field-amplified sample stacking and large-volume sample stacking was developed. The background electrolyte (BGE) was a solution composed of 55 mM borate-15% (v/v) acetonitrile (ACN) (pH 9.3). The sample was injected electrokinetically between plugs of water. Under the optimum conditions, about a 30-fold improvement in the concentration sensitivity relative to normal CE methods was achieved, giving low limits of detection (LOD) of 1.94 x 10(-5), 0.64 x 10(-5), 1.16 x 10(-5) and 2.84 x 10(-5) mg/mL for Dex, Chl, Pse and Par, respectively. The repeatability (defined as RSD) was 1.01, 1.91, 0.89 and 0.92% with the peak-area evaluation and 1.94, 3.98, 2.66 and 3.27% with the peak-height evaluation for Dex, Chl, Pse and Par, respectively. This method has been successfully applied to the analysis of commercial pharmaceutical preparations containing Dex, Chl, Pse and Par.

Separation and determination of five major opium alkaloids with mixed mode of hydrophilic/cation-exchange monolith by pressurized capillary electrochromatography

A method for the separation and determination of five major opium alkaloids (narcotine, papaverine, thebaine, codeine, and morphine) in pericarpium papaveris by pressurized CEC (pCEC) with monolithic column has been developed. Under the optimum condition, linear calibration ranges of narcotine, papaverine, thebaine, codeine, and morphine were obtained as 2-85, 2-85, 5-75, 10-65, and 10-65 microg/mL, respectively. LODs of these analytes were 1.5-6.0 microg/mL. The RSD (n=7) of the migration time and peak area were 1.94-5.24 and 4.05-8.21%, respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied to the analysis of pericarpium papaveris samples. Average recoveries of 79.0-95.9% at different fortified levels of alkaloids were achieved with RSD less than 4.6%. Meanwhile, the mechanism of the separation of the alkaloids on the monolithic column was also discussed. The result showed that the separation of alkaloids was mainly based on the mixed mode of hydrophilic interaction (HI) and cation exchange.     

Macrocyclic polyamine as a selective modifier in a bonded-phase capillary column for the electrophoretic separation of aromatic acids.

The use of a macrocyclic polyamine, 28[ane]-N6O2, as a selective modifier in a bonded-phase capillary column for the electrophoretic separation of 14 aromatic acids is described. Parameters that affect the performance of the separations, such as the type of buffer, the pH and concentration of buffer, the applied potential and the injection mode were studied. By changing the buffer pH (4.0-5.0), buffer concentration (10-50 mM) and applied potential (-10 approximately -20 kV), optimum conditions were obtained at -20 kV, using an acetate buffer (20 mM, pH 4.5), hydrodynamic injection with a vacuum at the buffer reservoir on the detector side and detection at 220 nm. The results showed that the separation was effective under these conditions. The plate number was greater than 4 x 10(4) m-l. Due to the wide variation in the mobilities of the test compounds, injection studies suggested that a vacuum at the buffer reservoir on the detector side would produce a result that is more representative of the initial sample composition. Benzoic acid in soy sauce, salicylic acid in Salic ointment and Aspirin were sampled and analyzed using the established conditions.

Rapid and sensitive analysis of three polyphenols in tobacco by CE using homemade C(4) D with a mini detection cell

A rapid, sensitive, and practical CE with C(4) D detection was developed for the analysis of three polyphenols (rutin, scopoletin, and chlorogenic acid) in tobacco samples. The constructed mini detection cell (12 mm × 10 mm × 10 mm) of C(4) D featured with small inner cell volume (～2 nL), smaller noise (<0.9 mV), repeatability, high strength and durableness. Three polyphenols were ultrasonically extracted with methanol-water (70:30, v/v) solution following SPE cleanup. The CE method was optimized with the running buffer of 150 mmol L(-1) 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (pH 11.2), and the applied separation voltage of +20 kV over a capillary of 50 μm id × 375 μm od × 50 cm (38 cm to the C(4) D window, 41.5 cm to the UV detector window), which gave a baseline separation of three polyphenols within ca. 6 min. The method provided the limits of quantification (S/N = 10) at about 0.08-0.15 μg g(-1) for three polyphenols, whereas the overall recoveries ranged from 82% to 88%. The proposed method has been successfully applied to measure three polyphenols in the actual tobacco samples, and their contents were calculated and evaluated.     

Optimization of peptide and protein separation with a monolithic reversed-phase column and application to arsenic-binding studies

A separation method for a mixture of eight sulfur-containing peptides and proteins characterized by a wide molar mass (1-18.4 kDa) and pI range (4.5-10.7) was developed onto a monolithic phenyl phase. Based on the first optimization steps that revealed an increase of the acetonitrile content to 45 vol.% as sufficient for the elution of all biomolecules and the addition of the ion pairing reagent trichloroacetic acid (TCA) as preferable over the eluent additives formic acid or ammonium acetate buffer, the critical variables TCA concentration, gradient time, and eluent flow rate were optimized using a Box-Behnken experimental design. To achieve optimum values for separation factors of all peak pairs, a TCA content of 0.025% (m/v), a gradient time of 10 min, and a flow rate of 3.5 mL min(-1) were selected. Arsenic binding studies were undertaken under conditions optimized with respect to the crucial separation factor of the nonapeptides vasotocin (Vtc) and vasopressin (Vpr) in a shortened gradient time of 7.5 min. A complete separation of phenylarsenic-substituted and unmodified forms of these peptides allowed the calculation of both consumptions and apparent equilibrium constants K from HPLC-UV peak areas. The nonapeptide consumptions by the reaction with phenylarsine oxide (PAO) increased from 7% up to 100% in dependence on the molar ratio of the reaction components. Due to an enhanced UV absorption of the phenylarsenic-substituted biomolecules, the calculation of apparent equilibrium constants led to increasing K values with rising PAO molarities from 9.6×10(5) to 1.2×10(8) in case of Vtc and from 2.2×10(6) to 1.4×10(9) in case of Vpr. For α-lactalbumin, a consumption of 59.2±6.1% by the reaction with molar excesses of PAO varying from 1.4 to 21 can be derived from the chromatograms. The quantitative evaluation of the reaction of the small protein aprotinin with PAO was hindered by a pronounced peak broadening that occurred after reduction of the disulfide bridges.

Sensitized phosphorescence as detection method for the enantioseparation of bupropion by capillary electrophoresis

A new CE detection method was developed for the chiral drug bupropion (a second-generation antidepressant), based on phosphorescence both in the direct and in the sensitized mode using pulsed laser excitation at 266 nm. Electrokinetic chromatography using 5 mM sulfated-α-CD as chiral selector in 25 mM phosphate buffer at pH 3 allowed the separation of bupropion enantiomers with a high chiral resolution (Rs>3). In the sensitized phosphorescence detection mode, excitation energy is transferred from the analyte to an acceptor (1-bromo-4-napthhalenesulfonic acid or biacetyl) followed by time-resolved phosphorescence detection under deoxygenated buffer conditions. Using 2 × 10(-4) M biacetyl as the acceptor an LOD of 2 × 10(-7) M was obtained for each enantiomer, about 40 times better than in the direct mode. Under these separation conditions, no significantly different phosphorescence lifetimes (measured on-line) were obtained for the two bupropion enantiomers. The suitability of the method was demonstrated with the quantification of bupropion in a pharmaceutical formulation and its determination in a spiked urine sample.

Enhanced indirect fluorescence detection of p-nitrophenol, 2,4-dinitrophenol and trinitrophenol by micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography with in-column optical-fiber LED-induced fluorescence detection

Enhanced indirect fluorescence detection with in-column optical-fiber LED-induced fluorescence (LED-IF) detection has been developed for the simultaneous separation and determination of p-nitrophenol, 2,4-dinitrophenol and trinitrophenol. The instrumental set-up is simple, cost-effective and the detection method is stable. Different experimental parameters have been studied. The optimum conditions were determined as: running buffer (pH 9.1) composed of 10 mM borate, 80 mM sodium dodecylsulfate and 0.18 μM fluorescein (as a background reagent); applied voltage of 15 kV; working temperature of 25.0 °C. The limits of detection (S/N = 3) were 11, 18 and 16 μM for p-nitrophenol, 2,4-dinitrophenol and trinitrophenol, respectively. The nitrophenols were completely separated in 13 min and the number of theoretical plates for p-nitrophenol, 2,4-dinitrophenol and trinitrophenol were 8.1 × 10(6), 6.5 × 10(6) and 8.4 × 10(6), respectively. The RSDs (n = 6) for the migration time and the peak area were better than 0.85 and 0.91%, respectively. Our proposed method possesses the advantages of rapidness and good separation efficiency.     

Enhanced separation of purine and pyrimidine bases using carboxylic multiwalled carbon nanotubes as additive in capillary zone electrophoresis

This paper describes the enhanced separation of adenine (A), hypoxanthine (HX), 8-azaadenine (8-AA), thymine (T), cytosine (C), uracil (U) and guanine (G) by CZE dispersing carboxylic multiwalled carbon nanotubes (c-MWNTs) into the running buffer. The effect of important factors such as c-MWNT nanoparticle concentration, the acidity and concentration of running buffer, and separation voltage were investigated to acquire the optimum conditions. The seven purine and pyrimidine bases could be well separated within 16 min in a 35 cm effective length fused-silica capillary at a separation voltage of +8.0 kV in a 23 mM tetraborate buffer (pH 9.2) containing 8.0 x 10(-5) g/mL c-MWNTs. Under the optimal conditions, the linear ranges were of 2-250 microg/mL for A (R2 = 0.995), 3-200 microg/mL for U (R2 = 0.990) and G (R2 = 0.992), 3-250 microg/mL for T (R2 = 0.998), 2-200 microg/mL for C (R2 = 0.985) and 4-200 microg/mL for HX (R2 = 0.988) and 8-AA (R2 = 0.990). The detection limits were 0.9 microg/mL for A (S/N = 3), 2.4 microg/mL for U, 2.0 microg/mL for T, 1.5 microg/mL for C, 2.5 microg/mL for G and 3.0 microg/mL for HX and 8-AA. The proposed method was successfully applied for determining five purine and pyrimidine bases in yeast RNA.     

Separation and determination of minor photosynthetic pigments by reversed-phase HPLC with minimal alteration of chlorophylls.

Reversed-phase HPLC conditions for separation of chlorophyll (Chl) a, Chl a' (the C132-epimer of Chl a), pheophytin (Pheo) a (the primary electron acceptor of photosystem (PS) II), and phylloquinone (PhQ) (the secondary electron acceptor of PS 1), have been developed. Pigment extraction conditions were optimized in terms of pigment alteration and extraction efficiency. Pigment composition analysis of light-harvesting complex II, which would not contain Chl a' nor Pheo a, showed the Chl a'/Chl a ratio of 3-4 x 10(-4) and the Pheo a/Chl a ratio of 4-5 x 10(-4), showing that the conditions developed here were sufficiently inert for Chl analysis. Preliminary analysis of thylakoid membranes with this analytical system gave the PhQ/Chl a' ratio of 0.58 +/- 0.03 (n = 4), in line with the stoichiometry of one molecule of Chl a' per PS I.     

High-performance capillary zone electrophoretic assay for markers of diabetic nephropathy in plasma and urine

A new high-performance capillary zone electrophoretic assay for creatine (Cr), creatinine (Cn), urea (U) and uric acid (Ua), markers of human diabetic nephropathy, both in plasma and urine has been developed with UV detection at 200 nm. The plasma sample was deproteinized with trichloroacetic acid and centrifuged at 10 000 rpm for 10 min. The urine sample was diluted 20-fold with buffer before analysis. The optimum separation conditions for the markers was investigated with respect to the concentration of the buffer, the pH, the voltage and the capillary temperature. Baseline separation was achieved in 25 mmol/L phosphate buffer (pH 3.45) using a 21 cm x 75 microm I.D. fused-silica capillary at 40 degrees C with an electric field of 1190 V/cm. The calibration curves showed good linearity in the range 3.5-1000, 0.18-700, 500-5000 and 2-800 microM (r2 min > 0.998) for Cr, Cn, U and Ua, respectively. The proposed method also has a high reproducibility (peak area RSD max < 3%) and has been successfully applied to the determination of clinical samples.

Experimental design optimization of the capillary electrophoresis separation of leucine enkephalin and its immune complex

To optimize the capillary electrophoretic separation conditions for leucine enkephalin (LE) and the immune complex of the LE and anti-LE reaction, an analysis using a three-level, three-factorial Box-Behnken design was performed. Three separation parameters, buffer pH (X(1)), buffer concentration (X(2)), and applied voltage (X(3)), were chosen to observe the effect on separation responses. The responses were theoretical plate number, migration time of the LE peak, and resolution between the peaks. The optimum conditions and process validation were determined using statistical regression analysis and surface plot diagrams. The capillary electrophoresis optimum separation conditions were established to be 75 mM phosphate buffer at pH 7.00 with an applied separation voltage of 15 kV. By using the analysis technique, the prediction of responses was satisfactory and process verification yielded values within the +/-5% range of the predicted efficiency.     

An improved HPLC method with the aid of a chemometric protocol: simultaneous analysis of amlodipine and atorvastatin in pharmaceutical formulations

Statistical experimental design and Derringer's desirability function were applied to develop an improved RP-HPLC method for the simultaneous analysis of amlodipine and atorvastatin in pharmaceutical formulations. Four independent factors were considered: acetonitrile content in the mobile phase; buffer pH; buffer concentration; and flow rate. The preliminary screening step was carried out, according to a 2(4-1) fractional factorial design, to identify the significant factors affecting the analysis time response. Then central composite design was applied for a response surface study, in order to examine in depth the effects of the most important factors. Subsequently, Derringer's desirability function was employed to simultaneously optimize the six responses: retention factor of first peak; two resolutions; and three retention times, each having a different target. This procedure allowed deduction of two separate optimum conditions, intended for the analysis of quality control and plasma samples, within the experimental domain. The predicted optimum for the quality control samples was: methanol-acetonitrile-15 mM K(2)HPO(4) buffer (pH 5.33) (10:42.08:47.92, v/v/v) as the mobile phase and 1.12 mL/min as the flow rate. The method using this optimized condition showed higher sensitivity and shorter analysis time than the previously published reports. The optimized assay condition was validated according to International Conference on Harmonization guidelines.
