Generation of anti-trenbolone monoclonal antibody and establishment of an indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detection of trenbolone in animal tissues, feed and urine

Trenbolone (TRE) is a steroid used by veterinarians on livestock to increase appetite and body weight. The use of TRE has been restricted because of its harmful side effect for consumers. To effectively control TRE residue in food and food product, a rapid and convenient immunoassay was developed by preparing an anti-TRE monoclonal antibody. The immunogen and coating antigen were prepared by coupling TRE hapten with carrier proteins via 1-ethyl-3-(dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) method. The optimized method gave an average IC₅₀ value of 0.323 ng mL⁻¹ towards TRE and an average detection limit (LOD) of 0.06 ng mL⁻¹, which is much lower than the maximum residue levels (2.0 ng g⁻¹) accepted by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA). The specificity of the antibody was evaluated by measuring cross-reactivity of six structurally related compounds, including 19-nortestosterone (9.7%), testosterone (0.13%), methyltestosterone (<0.01%), methandrostenolone (<0.01%), (+)-dehydroisoandrosterone (<0.001%) and β-estradiol (<0.001%). The recovery rates of the test in detection of TRE-fortified animal tissue, urine and animal feed samples were in the range of 81.3-89.4%, while the intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation were less than 12.0%.     

Determination of azasetron hydrochloride in rabbit plasma by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry and its application

A sensitive and selective liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method for determination of azasetron hydrochloride in rabbit plasma was developed. After addition of doxapram hydrochloride as internal standard (IS), protein precipitation by 10% trichloroacetic acid was used as sample preparation. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a Zorbax SB-C(18) (2.1 × 50 mm, 3.5 μm) column with acetonitrile-water as mobile phase with gradient elution. An electrospray ionization source was applied and operated in positive ion mode; multiple reaction monitoring mode was used to quantification using target fragment ions m/z 349.9 → 223.5 for azasetron hydrochloride and m/z 378.9 → 291.8 for the IS. Calibration plots were linear over the range of 6-1000 ng/mL for azasetron hydrochloride in plasma. The lower limit of quantitation for azasetron hydrochloride was 6 ng/mL. The mean recovery of azasetron hydrochloride from plasma was in the range 85.6-92.7%. The RSDs of intra-day and inter-day precision were both less than 12%. This method is simple and sensitive enough to be used in pharmacokinetic research for determination of azasetron hydrochloride in rabbit plasma.

A Spectrophotometric Method for the Determination of Buclizine Hydrochloride Using the Charge-Transfer Spectrum of Buclizine-Iodine Complex

Abstract

A simple and sensitive spectrophotometric method is described for the determination of buclizine hydrochloride in bulk and tablets form. The method is based on the formation of charge-transfer complex between buclizine, as n-donor, and iodine, as Δ acceptor, which measured spectrophotometrically at 295 and 355 nm. A Job's plot indicated a 1:1 complex between the drug and iodine and Beer's law was obeyed in a concentration range of 4–30 μg ml^?1. A more detailed investigation of the complex was made with respect to its association constant and the free energy change. The method is simple and sensitive and has been applied successfully to the analysis of laboratory-made tablets without any interference from the tablet excipients. To validate the method, the results obtained were compared statistically with a newly developed uv-derivative spectrophotometric method. The charge-transfer method was favored due to its higher sensitivity, cheap coast and available equipments.     

Binding Study of Phenformin with Bovine Serum Album Using a Combined Technique of Equilibrium Dialysis with Flow-Injection Chemiluminescence Detection

ABSTRACT

The interaction between phenformin hydrochloride and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated by the methods of chemiluminescence combined with equilibrium dialysis technique. A novel N-bromosuccinimide (NBS)–eosin Y (EY) chemiluminescence (CL) method was established for the determination of phenformin. The mechanism of this chemiluminescence system was proposed. Optimization studies were performed to determine the phenformin. Under the optimal conditions, the CL intensity was linear for a phenformin concentration over the range of 4.6 × 10^?8 to 5.0 × 10^?5 g/mL. The detection limit was 1.5 × 10^?8 g/mL. The data obtained by the present equilibrium dialysis–CL system were analyzed using the Klotz plot and the Scatchard analysis. The results showed that the Klotz plot and the Scatchard plot are linear with good correlation coefficient, indicating that the phenformin has only one type of binding site on BSA. The binding parameters were the number of the binding sites n (1.02) and the estimated association constant K (2.66 × 10⁴ L/mol). The chemiluminescence system combined with equilibrium dialysis developed in this work demonstrated its use for determination of interaction between drug and protein by using relatively simple instrument.     

Comparing Efficiency of Lysis Buffer Solutions and Sample Preparation Methods for Liquid Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry Analysis of Human Cells and Plasma

The use of a proper sample processing methodology for maximum proteome coverage and high-quality quantitative data is an important choice to make before initiating a liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS)-based proteomics study. Popular sample processing workflows for proteomics involve in-solution proteome digestion and single-pot, solid-phase-enhanced sample preparation (SP3). We tested them on both HeLa cells and human plasma samples, using lysis buffers containing SDS, or guanidinium hydrochloride. We also studied the effect of using commercially available depletion mini spin columns before SP3, to increase proteome coverage in human plasma samples. Our results show that the SP3 protocol, using either buffer, achieves the highest number of quantified proteins in both the HeLa cells and plasma samples. Moreover, the use of depletion mini spin columns before SP3 results in a two-fold increase of quantified plasma proteins. With additional fractionation, we quantified nearly 1400 proteins, and examined lower-abundance proteins involved in neurodegenerative pathways and mitochondrial metabolism. Therefore, we recommend the use of the SP3 methodology for biological sample processing, including those after depletion of high-abundance plasma proteins.     

曙红B共振光散射法测定微量的盐酸异丙嗪

研究了染料曙红B与盐酸异丙嗪的结合反应.在pH=3.50的Walpole介质中,曙红B本身的共振光散射信号较弱,与盐酸异丙嗪结合形成离子缔合物后,体系的共振光散射明显增强,并且光散射增强强度与盐酸异丙嗪在一定浓度范围内成正比,据此建立了一种高灵敏测定盐酸异丙嗪的方法.在体系的最大散射波长363 nm处,测得盐酸异丙嗪的线性范围为7.5×10-8～4.5×10-6 g/mL,检测限为1.8×10-8 g/mL,用于盐酸异丙嗪片剂、针剂、人血清及尿样中盐酸异丙嗪的测定,结果令人满意.     

Formulation and In Vitro Evaluation of Sustained Release Microspheres of Diltiazem Hydrochloride Prepared by Emulsification-Internal Gelation Method

The present work describes the formulation of alginate microspheres containing diltiazem hydrochloride by the emulsification-internal gelation method with the use of barium carbonate as a cross-linking agent. The effect of various factors (the concentration of alginate and barium chloride) on the drug loading efficiency and in vitro release were investigated. Fourier transform infrared microscopy (FTIR) and differential scanninig calorimetry (DSC) analysis confirmed the absence of any drug polymer interaction. X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern showed that there is a decrease crystallinity of the drug. The in vitro drug release profile could be altered significantly by changing various processing parameters to give a controlled release of drug from microcapsules. The stability studies of drug-loaded microcapsules showed that the drug was stable at different storage conditions.
