Identification of the related substances of tilmicosin by liquid chromatography/ion trap mass spectrometry

Structures of seven impurities of the veterinary drug tilmicosin have been elucidated by multiple fragmentation with ion trap tandem mass spectrometry. All related compounds possess the main lactone ring of tilmicosin. The differences in their structures are due to the hydroxyl, mycaminose, 3,5-dimethylpiperidine and mycinose groups connected to C(3), C(5), C(6), C(14) of the lactone ring, respectively. The following compounds of the impurity profile of tilmicosin were identified: B - tilmicosin with a hydroxyl group at C(3); C - tilmicosin without a methyl group at the N-atom connected to C(3) of the mycaminose ring; D - tilmicosin with a hydroxyl group at C(6) of the mycaminose ring; E - tilmicosin with a methoxy group at C(3), F - desmicosin; G - 20-dihydrodesmicosin; and H - tilmicosin without a mycaminose ring. Isomers of the compounds B, C, D, E and H were identified by their mass chromatograms and retention times. The concentrations of the impurities varied in the range of 0.1% to 2.9%.     

Simultaneous determination and tissue distribution studies of four phenolic acids in rat tissue by UFLC–MS/MS after intravenous administration of salvianolic acid for injection

A rapid, simple and sensitive ultra‐fast liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometric method was developed and validated for simultaneous determination and tissue distribution studies of rosmarinic acid, salvianolic acid D, lithospermic acid and salvianolic acid B in rats after intravenous administration of salvianolic acid for injection. The tissue homogenate samples were pretreated by protein precipitation with pre‐cooled acetonitrile. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a Waters Cortecs UPLC C₁₈ column (1.6 μm, 2.1 × 100 mm) with a mobile phase composed of 0.1% formic acid–water and 0.1% formic acid–acetonitrile. Analytes were detected by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and quantitated using multiple reaction monitoring. The method was fully validated. The calibration curves for the four phenolic acids were linear in the given concentration ranges. The precisions (relative standard deviation) in the measurement of quality control samples were <10% and the accuracies (relative error) were in the range of 0.28–11.22%. The reliable method was successfully applied to the tissue distribution studies of the four phenolic acids. The results showed that rosmarinic acid, salvianolic acid D, lithospermic acid and salvianolic acid B were rapidly distributed in tissues with the major amount found in kidney, and little crossed the blood–brain barrier. The developed method and the results provide a basis for further studies.

Simultaneous and rapid determination of main lignans in different parts of Schisandra sphenanthera by micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography

Lignans are imporant active ingredients of Schisandra sphenanthera. A micellar electrokinetic chromatography method was developed for the simultaneous determination of eight lignans--schizandrin, schisandrol B, schisantherin A, schisanhenol, anwulignan, deoxyschizandrin, schizandrin B and schizandrin C--in different parts of S. sphenanthera. The key factors for separation and determination were studied and the best analysis conditions were obtained using a background electrolyte of 10 mM phosphate-37.5 mM SDS-35% v/v acetonitrile (pH 8.0) at the separation voltage of 28 kV and detection at 214 nm, whereby the plant samples could be analyzed within 9.0 min. Analysis yielded good reproducibility (RSD between 1.19-2.28%) and good recovery (between 92.2-103.8%). The detection limits (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were within 0.4-1.2 mg/L and 1.5-4.0 mg/L. This method is promising to improve the quality control of different parts of S. sphenanthera.     

Diferratricarbaboranes of the subcloso-[(eta5-C5H5)2Fe2C3B8H11] type, the first representatives of the 13-vertex dimetallatricarbaborane series

Treatment of the [2-Cp-9-tBuNH-closo-2,1,7,9-FeC(3)B(8)H(10)] (1) ferratricarbollide (Cp = eta(5)-C(5)H(5) (-)) with Na(+) C(10)H(8) (-) in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) at room temperature produced an air-sensitive transient anion with a tentatively identified nido-[tBuNH-CpFeC(3)B(8)H(10)](2-) constitution. In-situ reaction of this low-stability ion with [CpFe(CO)(2)I] or [CpFe(CO)(2)](2) generated three violet diferratricarbaboranes identified as paramagnetic subcloso complexes [4,5-Cp(2-)-4,5,1,6,7-Fe(2)C(3)B(8)H(11)] (2; yield 2 %), [4,5-Cp(2-)-4,5,1,7,12-Fe(2)C(3)B(8)H(11)] (3; yield 2 %), and [7-tBuNH-4,5-Cp(2-)-4,5,1,7,12-Fe(2)C(3)B(8)H(10)] (4; yield 14 %). These first representatives of the 13-vertex dimetallatricarbaborane family were characterized by EPR and IR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry, and their structures were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis.

Development and validation of a simple solid‐phase extraction method coupled with liquid chromatography–triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry for simultaneous determination of lincomycin,tylosin A and tylosin B in royal jelly

We have developed an analytical method for the determination of lincomycin, tylosin A and tylosin B residues in royal jelly using liquid chromatography–triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry analysis. For extraction and purification, we employed 1% trifluoroacetic acid and 0.1 m Na₂EDTA solutions along with an Oasis HLB cartridge. The target antibiotics were well separated in a Kinetex EVO C₁₈ reversed‐phase analytical column using a combination of 0.1% formate acid in ultrapure water (A) and acetonitrile (B) as the mobile phase. Good linearity was achieved over the tested concentration range (5–50 μg/kg) in matrix‐matched standard calibration. The coefficients of determination (R²) were 0.9933, 0.9933 and 0.996, for tylosin A, tylosin B and lincomycin, respectively. Fortified royal jelly spiked with three different concentrations of the tested antibiotics (5, 10 and 20 μg/kg) yielded recoveries in the range 80.94–109.26% with relative standard deviations ≤4%. The proposed method was applied to monitor 11 brand of royal jelly collected from domestic markets and an imported brand from New Zealand; all the samples tested negative for lincomycin, tylosin A and tylosin B residues. In conclusion, 1% trifluoroacetic acid and 0.1 m Na₂EDTA aqueous solvents combined with solid‐phase extraction could effectively complete the sample preparation process for royal jelly before analysis. The developed approach can be applied for a routine analysis of lincomycin, tylosin A and tylosin B residues in royal jelly.

Development and validation of a solid‐phase extraction method coupled with LC–MS/MS for the simultaneous determination of 16 antibiotic residues in duck meat

The present study was carried out to determine 16 antibiotics belonging to seven different groups (tetracyclines, sulfonamides, penicillins, fluoroquinolones, macrolides, lincosamides and trimethoprims) in duck meat. A solid‐phase extraction method based on Oasis HLB cartridges coupled with liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry was developed. Solutions of 0.1 m ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt and 2% trifluoroacetic acid were used for the preliminary extraction of the target antibiotics from duck meat and n‐hexane was used for purification prior to solid‐phase extraction. Mobile phases composed of 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid in distilled water (solvent A) and 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid in methanol (solvent B), combined with a reversed‐phase C₁₈ analytical column, provided the optimal separation and signal intensity. The linearity of the method was assessed using six concentrations (5, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 μg/kg), and the recoveries, which were calculated at three spiking concentrations (5, 10 and 20 μg/kg), were in the range 69.8–103.3% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) ≤ 6.9% for the 16 tested antibiotics. Matrix effects ranging from ?47.2 to ?13.5% were observed for all the analytes, and the limits of quantitation (LOQ), which ranged from 4.93 to 26.21 μg/kg, were much lower than the maximum residue limits (MRLs) set by various regulatory authorities. Ten samples from a market were tested, and none of the target analytes were detected. Thus, a simple and versatile protocol has been developed to detect and quantify 16 antibiotics in duck meat samples.

A one-way analysis of variance was applied to evaluate Viscum coloratum-host-source interactions. Compared with the host species, the sample source had a significant impact on the sample content.     

Rapid and simultaneous determination of hexapeptides (Ac-EEMQRR-amide and H2N-EEMQRR-amide) in anti-wrinkle cosmetics by hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography-solid phase extraction preparation and hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry

A rapid method for the simultaneous determination of Ac-EEMQRR-amide and H(2)N-EEMQRR-amide in cosmetic products was developed and evaluated. This analytical procedure involved extracting samples with 0.1:0.1:85:15 (v:v) trifluoroacetic acid (TFA):formic acid:acetonitrile (ACN):water and determination by hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (HILIC-MS/MS). Samples showing serious ion suppression were further cleaned up using HILIC-SPE prior to HILIC-MS/MS analysis. Stable isotopically labeled peptides, corresponding to the above two peptides, were used as internal standards to correct for loss of recovery and matrix effects. Electrospray ionization (ESI) in the positive mode was used. The linear range was 2.0-1000 ng/mL for Ac-EEMQRR-amide and 25.0-2500 ng/mL for H(2)N-EEMQRR-amide. Thirteen commercial products were analyzed for the two peptides using this method. The amounts of Ac-EEMQRR-amide in the samples ranged from none detected to 42.3 μg/g. H(2)N-EEMQRR-amide was not detected in any of the samples. The recoveries for Ac-EEMQRR-amide and H(2)N-EEMQRR-amide ranged from 85% to 110% and 84% to 119%, respectively, at the spiking level of 30 μg/g.
