Simple Multiresidue Determination of Fluoroquinolones in Bovine Milk by Liquid Chromatography with Fluorescence Detection

Abstract

A simple and sensitive method for the simultaneous determination of five fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin, enrofloxacin, danofloxacin, difloxacin, and sarafloxacin) in bovine milk was developed. Protein precipitation from milk samples was achieved by the addition of acetonitrile and o‐phosphoric acid. Acetonitrile was removed with dichloromethane, leaving the fluoroquinolones in the acid aqueous extract. The aqueous extract was analyzed by liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (LC–FD). The mobile phase was composed of acetonitrile and 10 mM citrate buffer solution of pH 4.5, with an initial composition of acetonitrile‐water (12∶88, v/v) and using linear gradient elution. Norfloxacin was used as an internal standard. The limits of detection found ranged from 1 to 6 ng · mL^?1 and were below the maximum residue limits (MRLs) established by the European Union. The proposed method was applied to the determination of these compounds in different bovine milk samples. Method validation was carried out by a recovery assay.     

Extraction and preconcentration technique for triazole pesticides from cow milk using dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction followed by GC-FID and GC-MS determinations

A simple and rapid dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) technique coupled with gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FID) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was developed for the extraction, preconcentration, and analysis of triazole pesticides (penconazole, hexaconazole, tebuconazole, triticonazole, and difenoconazole) in cow milk samples. Initially to 5 mL milk sample, NaCl and acetonitrile were added as salting-out agent and extraction solvent, respectively. After manual shaking, the mixture was centrifuged. In the presence of sodium chloride, a two-phase system was formed: upper phase, acetonitrile containing triazole pesticides and lower phase, aqueous phase containing soluble compounds and the precipitated proteins. After the extraction of pesticides from milk, a portion of supernatant phase (acetonitrile) was removed, mixed with chloroform at microliter level and rapidly injected by syringe into 5 mL distilled water. In this process, triazole pesticides were extracted into fine droplets of chloroform (as extraction solvent). After centrifugation, the fine droplets of chloroform were sedimented in bottom of the conical test tube. Finally, GC-FID and GC-MS were used for the separation and determination of analytes in the sedimented phase. Some important parameters like type of solvent for extraction of pesticides from milk, salt amount, the volume of extraction solvent, etc., which affect the extraction efficiency, were completely studied. Under the optimum conditions, enrichment factors were in the range of 156-380. The linear ranges of calibration curves were wide and limits of detection (LODs) and limits of quantification (LOQs) were between 4-58 and 13-180 μg/L, respectively. This method is very simple and rapid, requiring <15 min for sample preparation.

System Maps for Retention of Small Neutral Compounds on a Superficially Porous Ethyl-Bridged,Octadecylsiloxane-Bonded Silica Stationary Phase in Reversed-Phase Liquid Chromatography

The system constants of the solvation parameter model are used to prepare system maps for the retention of small neutral compounds on an ethyl-bridged, ocatadecylsiloxane-bonded superficially porous silica stationary phase (Kinetex EVO C18) for aqueous mobile phases containing 10–70% (v/v) methanol or acetonitrile. Electrostatic interactions (cation-exchange) are important for the retention of weak bases with acetonitrile–water but not methanol–water mobile phase compositions. Compared with a superficially porous octadecylsiloxane-bonded silica stationary phase (Kinetex C18) with a similar morphology but different topology statistically significant differences in selectivity at the 95% confidence level are observed for neutral compounds that vary by size and hydrogen-bond basicity with other intermolecular interactions roughly similar. These selectivity differences are dampened with acetonitrile–water mobile phases, but are significant for methanol–water mobile phase compositions containing <30% (v/v) methanol. A comparison of a totally porous ethyl-bridged, octadecylsiloxane-bonded silica stationary phase (XBridge C18) with Kinetex EVO C18 indicated that they are effectively selectivity equivalent.

Analysis of polar peptides using a silica hydride column and high aqueous content mobile phases

The retention behavior of a set of polar peptides separated on a silica hydride stationary phase was examined with a capillary HPLC system coupled to ESI‐MS detection. The mobile phases consisted of formic acid or acetic acid/acetonitrile/water mixtures with the acetonitrile content ranging from 5 to 80% v/v. The effects on peptide retention of these two acidic buffer additives and their concentrations in the mobile phase were systematically investigated. Strong retention of the peptides on the silica hydride phase was observed with relatively high‐organic low‐aqueous mobile phases (i.e. under aqueous normal‐phase conditions). However, when low concentrations of acetic acid were employed as the buffer additive, strong retention of the peptides was also observed even when high aqueous content mobile phases were employed. This unique feature of the stationary phase therefore provides an opportunity for chromatographic analysis of polar peptides with water‐rich eluents, a feature usually not feasible with traditional RP sorbents, and thus under conditions more compatible with analytical green chemistry criteria. In addition, both isocratic and gradient elution procedures can be employed to optimize peptide separations with excellent reproducibility and resolution under these high aqueous mobile phase conditions with this silica hydride stationary phase.     

Determination of pharmacologically active compounds in root extracts of Cassia alata L. by use of high performance liquid chromatography

A simple high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed and validated for the determination of six phenolic compounds, five anthraquinones (rhein, aloe-emodin, emodin, chrysophanol and physcion) and a flavonoid (kaempferol), in root extracts from Cassia alata L. Solid-phase extraction, using C(18) cartridges, was used to remove interfering substances from the root extracts. The extracts were analyzed on a C(18) column using an isocratic mobile phase which consisted of acetonitrile, methanol, and 10mM aqueous ammonium acetate (25:55:20, v/v). Identification of the analytes was performed by use of standards and on-line mass spectrometric detection using atmospheric pressure chemical ionization. The concentration of the phenolic compounds in the root extracts was determined using HPLC with ultraviolet detection at 260nm. The limits of detection obtained for the anlytes were in the range of 0.23-4.61ppm. The overall R.S.D. precision values (intra- and inter-day) for the retention times and peak-areas were lower than 0.16 and 2.10%, respectively. In addition, the recovery of the developed method for the analysis of these phenolic compounds was determined, and ranged from 81.2+/-4.3 to 106+/-2%.     

Simultaneous determination of six phenolic constituents of Danshen injection in rat plasma by LC-ESI-MS and its application to a pharmacokinetic study

Salvianolic acid A, salvianolic acid B, danshensu, protocatechuic aldehyde, rosmarinic acid and lithospermic acid are the six major active constituents in Danshen injection. In this study, a rapid, sensitive and specific liquid chromatographic-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry method for the simultaneous quantitative determination of these compounds in rat plasma was developed. After a single step of liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl acetate, they were eluted by a Hypersil C18 column (5 μm, i.d. 4.6 × 200 mm) within 4 min with a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid water solution (35:65, v/v). The assay was linear in the concentration range of 0.05-10 μg mL(-1). Absolute recoveries were above 60%. The precisions and accuracies determined within three consecutive days were within acceptable limits. The method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study in rats after an intravenous administration of Danshen injection.     

Separation using planar chromatography with electroosmotic flow

Planar chromatography with electroosmotic flow is used to separate either a mixture of dyes using 80% aqueous ethanol as the mobile phase or a mixture of miscellaneous compounds using 45% aqueous acetonitrile as the mobile phase.

Separations using this technique are faster and more efficient than the same separations by conventional TLC. The respective relationships between migration velocity and applied potential, and between analysis time and distance migrated, are presented.

Prediction of chromatographic retention,pKa values and optimization of the separation of polyphenolic acids in strawberries

Polyphenolic acids are a complex group of compounds that have attracted enormous attention in the last few years because of their biological properties. In this work, the proportion of organic modifier and the pH of acetonitrile-water mixtures used as mobile phases were optimized in order to separate a series of polyphenolic compounds. The linear solvation energy relationship formalism based on the single solvent polarity parameter, E(T)N was used to predict their chromatographic behavior as a function of the percentage of acetonitrile in the eluent. Moreover, the correlation established between retention and the pH of the aqueous-organic mobile phase was used to optimize the pH of the mobile phase. The optimized mobile phase is composed of acetonitrile and formic acid buffer adjusted to pH 4.25, with 12% (v/v) acetonitrile. Also, the pKa values of polyphenolic acids in acetonitrile-water mixtures were determined using chromatographic data, and in order to validate the optimized conditions, a series of polyphenolic compounds was studied in strawberries.

Determination of carbonyl compounds in air by electrochromatography

A new analytical procedure based on electrochromatography was developed for the separation and quantitation of 14 aldehydes and ketones (formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acetone, acrolein, propionaldehyde, butanone, crotonaldehyde, isobutyraldehyde/butyraldehyde, 2-pentenaldehyde, isovaleraldehyde, valeraldehyde, benzaldehyde and hexanaldehyde) in ambient air currently to be regulated by the Hong Kong Environmental Protection Department. A volatile mobile phase using ammonium acetate compatible with mass spectrometry detection was developed and optimized as follows. Methanol: acetonitrile: aqueous buffer (4 mM ammonium acetate) = 65:5:30% v/v. With electrokinetic injection at 5 kV for 2 s, aqueous buffer pH adjusted to 8, applied voltage controlled at 25 kV, and detection at 360 nm in a fused-silica column packed with 3 microm ODS, a satisfactory separation was obtained for the 14 carbonyl compounds investigated. The working ranges in acetonitrile solution were found to vary from 0.25 to 79 mg/L with a correlation coefficient greater than 0.99, detection limits from 0.10 to 0.63 mg/L, and precision (relative standard deviation, n = 3) from 2.3 to 9.2%. Under an air flow rate of 0.3 L/min for a sampling time of 1 h, the working ranges varied from 0.030 to 11,000 microg/m3 and detection limits from 0.011 to 0.084 microg/ m3. The method has been successfully applied to monitor three carbonyl compounds in four urban and rural sites in Hong Kong and gave hourly readings of three carbonyl compounds for all the sites investigated with a separation time less than 25 min.
