An improved method for the determination of S-Carboxymethyl-L-cysteine in biological fluids with precolumn derivatization and on-line clean-up

Summary In order to follow levels of S-Carboxymethyl-L-cysteine in biological fluids for a period as long as three half-lives after drug administration during pharmacokinetic studies, an improved method for its determination had to be developed. Like the previous one, this method uses a protein precipitation step followed by an O-Phthalaldehyde derivatization step and then an HPLC on-line clean-up. This latter was obtained by means of a switching valve system, including a Nucleosil CN 5 m (3 cm × 4.6 mm i.d.) precolumn and a Spherisorb ODS 5 m (15 cm×4.6 mm i.d.) analytical column. The sensitivity limit was improved to 0.1 g/ml in plasma samples and 0.2 g/ml in urine samples.This method was applied in studies comparing single (0.75 g) and repeated (0.75 g tid) oral administration of the drug to 30 elderly patients and 20 healthy volunteers. Results showed that the half-life was 40% longer in elderly patients than in healthy volunteers, and that area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) values in elderly patients were twice those obtained with young subjects.     

A PVC-based 1,8-diaminonaphthalen electrode for selective determination of vanadyl ion

A PVC membrane vanadyl (VO²⁺) ion-selective electrode was constructed using 1,8-diaminonaphthalen (DAN) as a neutral carrier. The electrode shows good Nernstian response for VO²⁺ ions over a wide concentration range (1.0×10⁻¹-1.0×10⁻⁵ M). The optimum composition of the membrane was 55 wt.% poly(vinylchloride), 35 wt.% 2-nitrophenyl octyl ether (NPOE), 5 wt.% ionophore, and 5 wt.% potassium tetrakis(p-chlorophenyl)borate (KTpClPB). It has relatively fast response time and can be used at least for 5 weeks without any considerable divergence in potentials. The proposed electrode revealed relatively good selectivity for VO²⁺ over wide variety of other metal ions. The electrode was used for the potentiometric titration of VO²⁺ ions with EDTA.     

High-performance liquid chromatographic determination of diltiazem in human plasma after solid-phase and liquid–liquid extraction

A selective, sensitive, and accurate high-performance liquid chromatographic method for determination of diltiazem in plasma samples has been developed and validated. The effects of mobile phase composition, buffer concentration, mobile phase pH, and concentration of organic modifiers on retention of diltiazem and internal standard were investigated. Solid-phase and liquid–liquid extraction were examined and proposed for isolation of the drug and elimination of endogenous plasma interferences. A 5 m Lichrocart Lichrospher 60 RP-select B chromatographic column was used; the mobile phase was acetonitrile–0.025 mol L^–1 KH₂PO₄ (pH 5.5), 35:65 ( v / v) at a flow-rate of 1.5 mL min^–1. The detection wavelength was 215 nm. The calibration plots were linear in the concentration range 20.0–500.0 ng mL^–1. The method has been implemented to monitor diltiazem levels in patient samples.

Intramolecular Alkylation of Aromatic Compounds XXXVI [1]. Stereoselective Synthesis of C/D-cis-Configured Ergolines

Summary.  The stereoselective synthesis of cis-ergoline is presented. Starting from rac-N-benzoyl tryptophan methyl ester, the key compound indolinylmethylpyridin-3-one was prepared via a seven-step reaction in good yield. Since its cyclization to the desired ergolinone failed, the key compound was reduced to yield the two diastereomeric pyridin-3-ols; only one of them cyclized in trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, affording cis-ergoline. Catalytic hydrogenation of the latter gave N,N′-dimethyldihydroergoline, the X-ray crystallography of which revealed both the correct structure and identical relative configurations at C-5a and C-6a (SS or RR). Hydroboration and subsequent perruthenate oxidation of the Δ⁹-ergoline provided access to the regioisomeric ergolinols and ergolinones. Received December 27, 2001. Accepted January 15, 2002     

Measurement of the adduction constant by gas-liquid chromatography

Summary The adduction constants for the following eight binary systems were measured by gas liquid chromatography, at different temperatures: tetrachloromethane/p-xylene, tetrachloromethane/pseudocumene, chloroform/p-xylene, chloroform/pseudocumene, chloroform/aniline, m-methylphenol/aniline, o-methylphenol/aniline, and o-chlorophenol/aniline. The relationships between the adduction constant and temperature were used to fit the enthalpies and entropies of adduct formation.
