Multicommuted flow-through fluorescence optosensor for determination of furosemide and triamterene

Multicommutation implemented with flow-through optosensors is a very promising area of research. This recent approach benefits from the advantages of both methods and results in high sensitivity, selectivity, and speed, and little waste generation. This paper reports the simultaneous determination of furosemide and triamterene, two widely used diuretics, by measurement of their native fluorescence. The system has been proved to be useful for determination of both analytes in pharmaceutical preparations and for determination of triamterene in human urine and serum. A minicolumn filled with Sephadex SPC-25 microbeads was used to achieve separation of both analytes before detection in a flow-through cell filled with the same resin. The sensor is linear in the range 50–1200 and 0.4–8 ng mL⁻¹ with detection limits of 15 and 0.1 ng mL⁻¹ for furosemide and triamterene, respectively.     

Determination of Diuretics in Urine Using Immobilized Multi‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes in Hollow Fiber Liquid‐Phase Microextraction Combined with Liquid Chromatography‐Tandem Mass Spectrometry

A novel technique utilizing the adsorptive potential of immobilized multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (I‐MWCNT) in hollow fiber liquid‐phase microextraction (HF‐LPME) was developed for the determination of diuretics in urine. In this study, the potential of carbon nanotubes as a sorbent for three‐phase liquid‐phase microextraction of diuretics from urine samples was evaluated. Analysis was performed using liquid chromatography‐tandem mass spectrometry (LC‐MS/MS). A novel method was applied to detect acetazolamide (AAA), chlorothiazide (CTA), hydrochlorothiazide (HCT), hydroflumethiazide (HFT), clopamide (CA), trichlormethiazide (TCM), althiazide (AT) and bendroflumethiazide (BFT) in urine. Two‐step extractions using different times and temperatures for each step were adopted. Parameters influencing the extraction efficiency, including the extraction solvent, sample pH, salt concentration, extraction time and extraction temperature were systematically optimized. Under the resulting optimal extraction conditions, this method showed good linearity over an analytes concentration range of 1 to 1000 ng/mL, high extraction repeatability with relative standard deviations of less than 6%, and low detection limits (0.09 to 0.51 ng/mL). The application of the methods to the determination of diuretics in real samples was tested by analyzing urine samples of patient.

Detection of urinary markers for thiazide diuretics after oral administration of hydrochlorothiazide and altizide-relevance to doping control analysis

In sports, thiazide diuretics are used to flush out previously taken prohibited substances with forced diuresis and in sports where weight classes are involved to achieve acute weight loss. Thiazide diuretics include compounds which are very unstable and hydrolyse in aqueous media. Because information regarding the urinary detection of the hydrolysis products is limited, urinary excretion profiles for the hydrolysis product 4-amino-6-chloro-1,3-benzenedisulphonamide were established in 6 healthy volunteers after oral administration of altizide (15 mg per tablet) and hydrochlorothiazide (25 mg per tablet). Additionally, the excretion profile of chlorothiazide, a metabolite of altizide and hydrochlorothiazide, was also determined. A quantitative liquid-chromatographic tandem mass spectrometric method to detect the 4 substances was developed and validated. The result of this work shows that altizide is eliminated within 48 h in urine whereas hydrochlorothiazide was detectable after 120 h. Chlorothiazide was determined to be a minor metabolite of altizide and hydrochlorothiazide and could be detected up to 120 h. The hydrolysis product, 4-amino-6-chloro-1,3-benzenedisulphonamide, was detectable 120 h after administration, with concentrations at least 10 times higher than the parent drug. Concentrations ranged between 41–239 and 60–287 ng/mL after altizide and hydrochlorothiazide administration, respectively. The study shows that 4-amino-6-chloro-1,3-benzenedisulphonamide is an important target compound for the long time detection of thiazide diuretics in urine.     

Utility of p-chloranilic Acid and 2,3 Dichloro-5,6-dicyano p-Benzoquinone (DDQ) for the Spectrophotometric Determination of Triamterene

Abstract

Two simple and sensitive spectrophotometric procedures are suggested for analysis of triamterene. The first procedure is based on the reaction of triamterene with p-chloranilic acid (p-CA) in methylene chloride to form a highly stable coloured product, exhibiting maximum absorbance at λ 530 nm. Beer's law is obeyed in the range of 40–220 μg.ml^?1 with a mean percentage accuracy of 99.98 ± 0.446. Limit of determination is 20 μg.ml^?1. In the second procedure, the drug is determined via charge transfer complex formation with 2,3 dichloro-5,6-dicyano p-benzoquinone (DDQ) using methylene chloride as a solvent. Here the reaction product has two well defined maxima at 460 nm and 530 nm where each has been utilized for quantitative determination. Beer's law is obeyed in concentration ranges of 25–125 μg.ml^?1 and 25–150 μg.ml^?1 with mean percentage accuracies of 99.92 ± 0.449 and 100.00 ± 0.511 for both maxima. 460 and 530 nm. respectively. Limit of determination is 12.5 μg.ml^?1 at both maxima. Optimum conditions for each procedure have been studied and the stoichiometry of both reactions was ascertained using Job's method of continuous variation. The validity of the suggested procedures was assessed by applying the standard addition technique using the drug capsules. Both procedures are statistically analyzed as compared with BP method for analysis of triamterene (non aqueous titration) revealing good accuracy and precision as indicated by t and F tests.     

Effect of alkali metals and metal-ammonia complexes on electroosmosis,effective field strength,and resolution in the separation of diuretics by CZE

The counter ion in CZE separation systems affects resolution, effective field strength and electroosmosis. Alkali metals (lithium, sodium, potassium, and cesium), the ammonium ion, and several complexes of metals with ammonia ([Ag(NH₃)₂]⁺, [Cu(NH₃)₄]²⁺, [Zn(NH₃)₄]²⁺, [Cd(NH₃)₄]²⁺, [Ni(NH₃)₆]²⁺, and [Co(NH₃)₆]²⁺) have been studied for their effect on the separation of diuretics. With the alkali metals the electroosmotic flow velocity decreased and the effective field strength and resolution increased as the hydrated radius of the alkali metal decreased. All the metal-ammonia complexes except that with silver greatly reduced the electroosmotic flow velocity (V_eo) and had only a slight effect on the effective field strength (E_eff). Because these complexes had a negligible effect on the ionic strength of the buffer, they enabled high separating power to be maintained during the separation, and hence the use of more energy in the separation system. This yielded better resolution of the compounds, but the analysis time was then compromised. A simultaneous reduction in capillary length and V_eo while maintaining the high voltage enabled increased resolution without an increase in analysis time. The ability to control V_eo by adding small concentrations (< 100 μM ) of metal complexes to the buffer solution makes it possible to adjust the analysis time and capillary length independently while employing high separation power.

Rapid screening method for diuretics in doping control using automated solid phase extraction and liquid chromatography-electrospray tandem mass spectrometry

A new method has been developed for the routine detection of diuretics in urine samples collected from athletes. The method developed uses automated solid phase extraction (SPE) with analysis of the extracts by high performance liquid chromatography using electrospray ionisation tandem mass spectrometry. It requires only one injection per sample and is currently capable of detecting 35 diuretics and related compounds at the rate of five samples per hour. All parent compounds can be detected at urinary concentrations significantly below 100 ng/ml with the recovery of most analytes being greater than 80%.
