A simple and mild method for the determination of fatty acids (C1 – C10) based on a condensation reaction using 7-aminonaphthalene-1,3-disulfonic acid (ANDSA) as labeling reagent with capillary zone electrophoresis has been developed. The detection was performed with a diode array detector at 254 nm. A 58.5 cm × 50 μm i.d. (50 cm effective length) untreated fused-silica capillary was used. To optimize the separation conditions, the background electrolyte concentration, column temperature, voltage and other factors were evaluated. The optimal separation conditions were as follows: 30 mmol L−1 borate buffer (pH 9.5), 15 mmol L−1 β-CD, temperature at 20 °C, pressure 50 mbar and injection time 8 s. Under the established conditions, 10 fatty acid derivatives could be well-separated within 17 min. The linearity was in the range of 0.07–5.0 μmol L−1. Detection limits (at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3) were in the range of 0.027–0.042 μmol L−1. The fatty acids from the extracted Funaria Hedw. and Selaginella samples were determined with satisfactory results.
相似文献An alternative methodology for simultaneous determination of isoniazid, isonicotinic acid, 4-cyanopyridine, ethyl isonicotinate and isonicotinamide by capillary zone electrophoresis, within an analysis time of 11 min, is proposed. An electrolyte composed by 50 mmol L−1 of acetic acid/sodium acetate buffer and 12.5 mmol L−1 of Cu2+, an analyte dilution in 1 mmol L−1 of Brij 35 and 12.5 mmol L−1 of Cu2+ and +20 kV voltage were optimized. After evaluating some figures of merit, such as linearity, precision, recovery and quantification limit, the method was successfully applied to the isoniazid analysis in tablets. The contents found were 99.3 mg of isoniazid and 0.3 mg of isonicotinic acid, corresponding to 0.3 % of impurity regarding the content of the active ingredient in the pharmaceutical formulation.
相似文献A method for isotachophoretic determination of potassium and ammonium cations in fertilizers and silage was developed. A capillary of 0.4 mm i.d. and 100 mm effective length made of fluorinated ethylene–propylene copolymer was filled with an electrolyte system consisting of 10 mmol L−1 RbOH + 0.1% (w/v) hydroxyethylcellulose, adjusted to pH 9.0 with l-histidine (leading electrolyte) and 10 mmol L−1 lithium citrate (terminating electrolyte). Using contactless conductivity detection, the calibration curves in the tested concentration range up to 0.5 mmol L−1 were linear for both cations. The concentration detection limits for potassium and ammonium were 2.9 and 2.7 μmol L−1, respectively. RSD values of step lengths (n = 6) were 1.3% for potassium and 1.5% for ammonium. The separation time was about 20 min. Similar results were obtained with cesium cation used as the leading ion, however, in the system with rubidium better resolution of other cations present in tested matrices was reached. The elaborated method is simple to perform, sufficiently sensitive and accurate and can be recommended as an alternative procedure to the methods used so far for the determination of potassium and ammonium.
相似文献In this study, a method of field-amplified sample injection coupled with capillary zone electrophoresis with ultraviolet detection was established for evaluation of DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation levels in biological materials. By modifying an existing method, the separation of cytosine (C), 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) was performed on an uncoated capillary column (40 cm × 75 μm I.D.) using 300 mmol L−1 tris solution (pH 2.90) as running buffer and detected at 280 nm. The detection limits (S/N = 3) of the method were 0.004 ng mL−1 for cytosine (C), 0.01 ng mL−1 for 5-methylcytosine (5-mC), and 0.02 ng mL−1 for 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC). The proposed method has been successfully applied to the evaluation of DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation levels of blood samples from 15 hepatocellular carcinoma patients and 5 liver cirrhosis patients and liver tissues from 50 pairs of tumor and matched tumor-adjacent samples.
相似文献Imatinib, bosutinib, dasatinib, pazopanib, erlotinib, canertinib and vatalanib are new developed anticancer drugs, especially for treatment of leukemia. In this article, a fast and high throughput capillary zone electrophoresis method has been developed and validated for analysis of these new drugs in pharmaceutical formulas. The method can be easily utilized for determination of all the drugs in one run what is advantageous for the quality control in pharmaceutical industry because there is no need for changing and optimization of separation conditions when changing the analyte. The separation was performed using an uncoated fused silica capillary with 100 mmol L−1 sodium phosphate buffer pH 2.75, voltage of 25 kV, hydrodynamic injection time of 5 s by 50 mbar, and detection at 214 nm. Under these conditions, the analysis took about 8 min. The validation of all the drugs resulted in recoveries in the range of 84–100 %. The method showed to be precise for all the drugs with RSDs of migration times lower than 0.9 % (interday precision). A very good linearity in the validated range (5–100 μg mL−1) and the limits of detection (LODs) in the range of 0.5–2.0 (μg mL−1) were achieved. Finally, we proved that the method is robust by the Youden’s test. Therefore, our method can be successfully applied for analysis of the real pharmaceutical samples.
相似文献Proteinuria, i.e. increased excretion of proteins in urine, is a common sign indicating renal or urinary tract diseases. In this study, a fast and simple procedure for urine sample preparation and capillary micellar electrokinetic chromatographic analysis is presented, without any sample pretreatment prior to the analysis. The developed MEKC method was employed for simultaneous determination of albumin (ALB), haemoglobin (HGB), and myoglobin (MYO) in human urine samples obtained from patients with diagnosed proteinuria. Optimum conditions for detection and separation of ALB, HGB, and MYO are 50 mmol L−1 borate buffer containing 20 mmol L−1 SDS (pH 9.3), injection 40 mbar × 20 s, voltage 25 kV, temperature 30 °C, and detection wavelength 200 nm. The method was shown to be specific, accurate, linear (correlation coefficients r 2 > 0.99), and precise (RSD below 3.75 and 7.23% for migration time and peak area, respectively). Multi-variable-at-a-time (MVAT) approach for robustness testing shows no significant variations in accuracy, specificity, and precision as RSD values were lower than 5 and 10% for migration time and peak area, respectively. The presented method is applicable for routine analyses of urine samples as a screening method for patients with excess ALB, HGB, and MYO.
相似文献A simple and reliable method based on capillary electrophoresis with electrochemical detection (CE–ED) was applied to study the effect of aerobic exercises on creatinine and uric acid concertration in saliva and urine. The pH value, the running buffer concentration, the SDS concentration, separation voltage, injection time and the potential applied to the working electrode were investigated to find the optimum conditions. The detection limits (S/N = 3) for creatinine and uric acid were 3.6 μmol L−1 and 0.86 μmol L−1, respectively. This method was successfully used in the rapid analysis of creatinine and uric acid in saliva samples. After aerobic exercises, creatinine concentration decreased, and uric acid concentration increased in saliva. In urine, the concentrations of creatinine and uric acid both increased after exercise.
相似文献The urea-induced dissociation of nerve growth factor from venom of Chinese cobra (cNGF) was studied by intrinsic fluorescence emission spectra, SEC, urea-gradient polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, assays of biological activity and thermodynamic parameters. The results showed that when urea concentration was lower than or equal to 4.0 mol L−1 or higher than or equal to 8.0 mol L−1, cNGF existed only in native homodimer form or monomer form, respectively; whereas when urea concentration was higher than 4.0 mol L−1 and lower than 8.0 mol L−1, they existed simultaneously in the native homodimer and monomer forms and the former decreased, while the latter increased with the increase in urea concentration. Based on the association–dissociation equilibrium between cNGF and urea molecules, an equation, which includes two characteristic dissociation parameters K and ∆m, was presented to describe the urea-induced dissociation process of cNGF. As the reaction temperature increased from 15 to 35 °C, positive enthalpy and entropy changes were observed, and the parameter K increased from 2.72 × 10−13 to 5.18 × 10−12 (L mol−1), while the parameters ∆m and ∆G, respectively, decreased from 10.18 to 8.42 and from −10.27 to −18.67 (kJ mol−1), which means that the urea-induced dissociation of cNGF was spontaneous and entropy-driven and the higher temperature was favorable for the dissociation process. Using the procedures and equations mentioned in the paper, the urea-induced dissociation of cNGF is first comprehensively described. Furthermore, this work presents a useful method for people to study the dissociation of dimer or multimer proteins induced by denaturants, inducers, pH, etc.
相似文献This work describes the voltammetric and amperometric behavior of a high number of PASHs (sulfides, thiophenes, benzothiophenes, dibenzothiophenes, indenothiophenes, naphtothiophenes, thienothiophenes, phenanthrothiophenes, and acenaphtothiophenes) at gold disc electrodes aiming at their identification and determination in petroleum asphalts. The adsorption/redox processes expected for sulfur compounds at gold electrodes could be observed in all the studied PASHs in DMSO and hydromethanolic medium. Differential pulse (DP) voltammetry in non-aqueous solutions (0.1 mol L−1 NaClO4 in DMSO) was approached for determining non-volatile PASHs in asphalts submitted to different aging processes. It was found herein that the DP voltammetric monitoring of PASH oxidation at + 0.7 V (vs. Ag/AgCl/LiCl 3 mol L−1) for virgin/aged asphalts can be used for the comparative study of asphalts based on the consumption of PASHs. Additionally, pulsed amperometric detection (PAD) in hydroalcoholic solution (10 mmol L−1 acetate buffer in 65% methanol) coupled with a chromatographic separation was approached for determining volatile PASHs in asphalts submitted to thermal decomposition processes. A detection cycle of 2 s involving oxidative (0.4 s at + 0.4 V) and reductive (1.2 s at − 1.0 V) cleaning pulses after a detection pulse of − 0.8 V (0.4 s) applied successively to the gold electrode (vs. Pd/PdO) was found to be optimal for regenerating the gold surface during successive chromatographic runs of PASHs. Thus, reversed-phase liquid chromatography (LC)–coupled PAD was found useful to separate a complex mixture of PASHs. The optimized PAD and LC separation was further applied to investigate the presence of electroactive PASHs as volatile compounds in asphalt fumes generated at 260 °C.
相似文献The objective of this work has been to assess the potential of capillary isotachophoretic organic acids profiling using multivariate statistical methods to classify brandy samples and wine distillate samples. The leading electrolyte was 10 mmol L−1 hydrochloric acid including 0.1% methylhydroxylethylcellulose adjusted with β-alanine to pH 2.9. The terminating electrolyte was 5 mmol L−1 acetic acid. Principal component analysis, cluster analysis, and linear discriminant analysis were used for the classification of beverages. The results show that for the 12 acids analysed, 98.57% of the total variance is extracted by the six principal components (PC). After performing backward linear discriminant analysis, a classification function was obtained containing four variables: formic (PC2-loadings: 0.989), lactic (PC1-loadings: 0.886), malic (PC1-loadings: 0.989) and oxalic (PC2-loadings: 0.777) acids, which provide 100.0% correct classification of brandies and wine distillates.
相似文献A sensitive and simple HPLC method for simultaneous determination of PAC-1 (first procaspase-activating compound), phenol red, and permeability markers (carbamazepine and furosemide) in perfusion samples was developed and validated to assess intestinal absorption of PAC-1 using single-pass intestinal perfusion technique (SPIP) in rats. The chromatographic separation was carried out on a Kromasil C18 column (150 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) with acetonitrile–methanol–30 mmol L−1 phosphate buffer (pH 3.0, 25:10:65, v/v/v) as mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL min−1, and the wavelength of the UV detector was set at 281 nm. The calibration curves were linear in the ranges of 2.40–48.0 μg mL−1 for PAC-1; 3.60–72.0 μg mL−1 for carbamazepine; 3.20–64.0 μg mL−1 for furosemide, and 4.80–96.0 μg mL−1 for phenol red (r > 0.999). Both the intra- and inter-day precisions (RSD%) of all analytes were less than 6.8 % at three concentration levels, while accuracy ranged from 95.4 to 104.5 %. Data obtained in all method validation studies indicated that the method was suitable for the intended purpose. The effective permeability values (P eff) considering water flux with the help of non-permeable marker phenol red was calculated to be 0.42 × 10−4, 0.62 × 10−4, 0.32 × 10−4 cm s−1 for PAC-1; 0.72 × 10−4, 0.77 × 10−4, 0.52 × 10−4 cm s−1 for carbamazepine; 0.20 × 10−4, 0.16 × 10−4, 0.12 × 10−4 cm s−1 for furosemide in duodenum, jejunum and ileum, respectively. The P eff value can be increased by co-perfusion with verapamil, indicating that absorption of PAC-1 is efficiently transported by P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in the gut wall.
相似文献A sensitive and selective method for simultaneous determination of 29 toxic alkaloids in human blood and 31 in urine using high-performance liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry was developed and validated. The samples were diluted with 0.1 mol L−1 HCl, and the target alkaloids were purified by solid phase extraction. The separation of 31 alkaloids was carried out on a C18 column using a gradient mobile phase with 10 mmol L−1 ammonium formate in water with 0.1% formic acid and methanol at the rate of 0.25 mL min−1. The triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer equipped with an electrospray source in the positive mode was set up in the dynamic multiple reactions monitoring mode (dynamic MRM) to detect the ion transitions of 31 alkaloids. The calibration curves were linear over a range of 0.5–400, 1–400, or 4–400 μg L−1 for target alkaloids in human blood and urine, and the correlation coefficients (r 2) was higher than 0.9943. The limit of determination and limit of quantification were 0.2–1 and 0.5–4 μg L−1 for blood and urine, respectively. The only exceptions were sanguinarine and chelerythrine in human blood. All the target alkaloids were stable under the test condition. In addition, the solvent effect and reconstituted solution were investigated. The method was validated and proved to be accurate and precise over the studied concentrations and suitable for poisoning diagnosis and forensic toxicology.
