Rapid determination of vitellogenin in fish plasma by anion exchange high performance liquid chromatography using postcolumn fluorescence derivatization with o-phthalaldehyde.

An analytical method involving anion exchange high performance liquid chromatographic determination of vitellogenin (Vtg) in fish plasma after postcolumn fluorescence derivatization with o-phthalaldehyde (OPA) was developed. The retention time of Vtg was about 11 min. The reagent variables for derivatization were optimized. The fluorophore was excited at 335 nm and detected at 435 nm. A calibration curve was established ranging from 0.13 to 11.28 microg. The determination limit of Vtg was found to be as low as 0.13 microg. The spiked recovery was 93.6% and interassay variability was less than 4%. The method developed was used to determine Vtg in fish plasma obtained from red sea bream (Pagrosomus major), black porgy (Sparus macrocephalus) and skew band grunt (Hapalogenys nitens), without complicated sample pretreatment. The results confirmed that the method showed advantages of being simple, rapid, reproducible and sensitive.     

Analysis of chlortetracycline by high performance liquid chromatography with postcolumn alkaline-induced fluorescence detection.

A high performance liquid chromatographic method for the analysis of chlortetracycline (CTC) using postcolumn fluorescence detection has been developed. After chromatographic separation of CTC on a polystyrene-divinylbenzene copolymer column, a highly fluorescent derivative isochlortetracycline (iso-CTC) was formed postcolumn in an on-line reaction coil with the addition of 25% NaOH (w/v). Chromatographic separation was achieved on a PRP-1 column, 15 cm x 4.6 mm, with 27:73 acetonitrile:0.2% perchloric acid (v/v), at 1.0 mL/min. Fluorescence derivatization was achieved by the on-line addition of 25% NaOH (w/v), at a flow rate of 0.2 mL/min, into the column eluant in a post-column reaction coil. The reaction coil was 9 m of teflon (1/16 in o.d., 0.3 mm i.d.) knitted into a six-sided coil. The fluorescent derivative was detected at lambda ex 355 nm and lambda em > 389 nm. Using this method after a simple sample cleanup, CTC can be detected in milk at 0.04 micrograms/mL, which is comparable to that obtained by microbiological assays. The detection method was linear between 0.02 micrograms/mL and 4 micrograms/mL. Because of the chromatographic separation, the method is more selective than microbiological assays and more sensitive than ultraviolet detection. With the chromatographic system described, the keto tautomeric forms of CTC and 4-epi-CTC are separated in a system which minimizes their formation on-column. In acidic aqueous organic solutions, the keto tautomer of CTC is the only product formed to any significant amount.     

Simultaneous analysis of monosaccharides and oligosaccharides by high-performance liquid chromatography with postcolumn fluorescence derivatization

To develop a fluorimetric HPLC technique for the simultaneous microanalysis of reducing mono- and oligosaccharides, the technique of linear gradient elution was introduced into the postcolumn fluorimetric detemination system of reducing saccharides with benzamidine. Fluorescence measurement was performed at 288 nm for excitation and 470 nm for emission and an optimization study for this postcolumn fluorescence derivatization carried out. Under optimum conditions, the detection limits of D-glucose and maltohexaose were 1.78 and 2.59 pmol, respectively. The present method was successfully applied to saccharide analysis and should prove useful for automated simultaneous microanalysis of reducing mono- and oligosaccharides in foods.     

High performance liquid chromatography determination of cyanide in urine by pre-column fluorescence derivatization

A method for the determination of cyanide in human urine has been developed. The method is based on the reaction of cyanide with 2,3-naphthalenedialdehyde and taurine to give a fluorescent product for reversed-phase HPLC separation and fluorometric detection. After centrifugation followed by dilution of urine samples, the specimens could be analysed directly by this method. The recovery of cyanide added to urine at concentration levels of 50-1000 pmol/mL was 85-96%. The detection limit of cyanide was 30 pmol/mL in urine. The method was successfully applied to the analysis of urine from smokers and nonsmokers. The mean concentrations of cyanide were found to be 215 pmol/mL for the former and 84 pmol/mL for the latter.

Simultaneous determination of mycophenolic acid and valproic acid based on derivatization by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection

A reliable and validated reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method using fluorescence detection is reported for the simultaneous quantitation of mycophenolic acid (MPA) and valproic acid (VPA) in human plasma. The method is based on the pre-column derivatization of valproic acid with 4-bromomethyl-6, 7-dimethoxycoumarin (BrMMC) and online solvatochromism of MPA by pH adjustment. The linear calibration range was 0.50-30 microg/mL for MPA and 5.00-150 microg/mL for VPA. The relative standard deviations of the method of intra- and inter-day analyses (n = 6) were below 6.5 and 6.7% for MPA, and 5.8 and 6.3% for VPA, respectively. Dichloromethane was used for the simultaneous extraction of MPA and VPA from acidified plasma. This reliable method can be applied in the analysis of MPA and VPA in human plasma using only a small volume (100 microL).

Determination of oxytetracycline, tetracycline, and chlortetracycline in milk by liquid chromatography with postcolumn derivatization and fluorescence detection

A multiresidue method for isolation and liquid chromatographic determination of oxytetracycline (OTC), tetracycline (TC), and chlortetracycline (CTC) in milk is presented. The sensitivity of the method is adequate to meet the needs of regulatory agencies. The European Community established 100 micrograms/kg as the maximum residue limit (MRL) in milk for TC, CTC, and OTC. Recoveries exceeded 80% for all tetracyclines at all levels, with good precision. Correlation coefficients of standards curves for individual tetracyclines isolated from fortified samples ranged from 0.991 for CTC to 0.998 for OTC. Other antibiotics that might interfere with analysis did not interfere with elution times of OTC, TC, and CTC. The procedure is rapid, precise, and quantitative and requires minimal preparation and minimal use of organic solvents. It can be applied to routine surveillance programs. We can prepare 10 samples for analysis in about 1.45 h.

Fluorimetric determination of pantothenic acid in foods by liquid chromatography with post-column derivatization

A method to determine the content of free pantothenic acid in various foods by reverse phase liquid chromatography-fluorimetry is reported. It includes a purification of the samples by successive passages through anion and cation exchange cartridges and a post-column derivatization of pantothenic acid as the fluorescent 1-alkylthio-2-alkylisoindole (reaction of beta-alanin, formed by hot alkaline hydrolysis of pantothenic acid, with orthophthaldialdehyde in the presence of 3-mercaptopropionic acid). An enzymatic hydrolysis prior to the purification step (pepsin at 50 degrees C for 3 h, then pantetheinase and alkaline phosphatase at 20 degrees C for 18 h) made it possible to release the bound pantothenic acid and thus to obtain the total Vitamin B5 content of these foodstuffs. The method proposed for the determination of free and bound pantothenic acid gives a good recovery rate (96-101%) and a satisfactory repeatability (R.S.D.r less than 8%). Owing to its low detection limit (0.65 microg g(-1)) and the good resolution of the pantothenic acid peak, it could most probably be applied to the determination of this vitamin in any foodstuff.     

Determination of bovine blood oleandrin by high-performance liquid chromatography and postcolumn derivatization

A high-performance liquid chromatographic procedure with a postcolumn fluorescence derivatization is developed for the analysis of oleandrin in bovine blood. Oleandrin is separated by an octadecylsilane-bonded column with a mobile phase containing dehydroascorbic acid. The effluent of the column is mixed with concentrated hydrochloric acid and passed through poly(tetrafluoroethylene) tubing maintained at 70 degrees C. The resultant fluorophores are detected at 465 nm with excitation at 348 nm. Simple solid-phase extraction using Sep-Pak tC2 is effective for sample purification. We found the minimal detectable quantity of oleandrin in plasma to be 1.5 ng/mL at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3:1.
