Eco‐friendly ionic liquid assisted capillary electrophoresis and α‐acid glycoprotein‐assisted liquid chromatography for simultaneous determination of anticancer drugs in human fluids

In the current work, two eco‐friendly analytical methods based on capillary electrophoresis (CE) and reversed phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) were developed for simultaneous determination of the most commonly used anticancer drugs for Hodgkin's disease: methotrexate (MTX), vinblastine, chlorambucil and dacarbazine. A background electrolyte (BGE) of 12.5 mmol/L phosphate buffer at pH 7.4 and 0.1 µmol/L 1‐butyl‐3‐methyl imidazolium bromide (BMImBr) ionic liquid (IL) was used for CE measurements at 250 nm detection wavelength, 20 kV applied voltage and 25 °C. The rinsing protocol was significantly improved to reduce the adsorption of IL on the interior surface of capillary. Moreover, RPLC method was developed on α‐1‐acid glycoprotein (AGP) column. Mobile phase was 10 mmol/L phosphate buffer at pH 6.0 (100% v/v) and flow rate at 0.1 mL/min. As AGP is a chiral column, it was successfully separated l ‐MTX from its enantiomer impurity d ‐MTX. Good linearity of quantitative analysis was achieved with coefficients of determinations (r²) >0.995. The stability of drugs measurements was investigated with adequate recoveries up to 24 h storage time under ambient temperature. The limits of detection were <50 and 90 ng/mL by CE and RPLC, respectively. The using of short‐chain IL as an additive in BGE achieved 600‐fold sensitivity enhancement compared with conventional Capillary Zone Electrophoresis (CZE). Therefore, for the first time, the proposed methods were successfully applied to determine simultaneously the analytes in human plasma and urine samples at clinically relevant concentrations with fast and simple pretreatments. Developed IL‐assisted CE and RPLC methods were also applied to measure MTX levels in patients’ samples over time. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Characterization of Metallo Bis(terpyridine) Diblock Polymers by Nonaqueous Capillary Zone Electrophoresis

A method of nonaqueous capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) has been developed to characterize block (co)polymers of poly(ethylene oxide) and poly(styrene) containing metallo bis(terpyridine) complexes as bridging units. Specific CZE separation conditions had to be applied, with barium perchlorate dissolved in N-methylformamide (NMF) as background electrolyte and OV-1701-OH deactivated capillaries. For detection UV absorption was measured at a wavelength of 316 nm. Metallo diblock polymers with molecular weights up to 30,000 Da could be analyzed by the proposed nonaqueous CZE method. Experiments performed with polymeric compounds containing Fe, Ni or Ru as central metal ions showed that their electrophoretic mobilities were independent of the type of metal ion. Therefore, the data on the size of the polymeric compounds could be obtained using just one set of calibration standards. Polydispersities of the samples calculated from the experimental results were in correlation with the polydispersities of the polymers used in the synthesis of the metallo diblock polymers. Several polymeric samples contained metallo mono(terpyridine) complexes as impurities. These by-products could be separated from the main product. With symmetrical diblock polymers only one by-product was detected, while with an asymmetric diblock polymer two types of mono-complexes were found. The amount of the mono-complexes present as impurities was dependent on the type of central metal ion (Ni > Fe >> Ru).

Simultaneous determination of digoxin and digitoxin by micellar electrokinetic chromatography and application to drug formulations

A simple micellar electrokinetic chromatographic method is described for simultaneous determination of digoxin and digitoxin. The simultaneous analysis of digoxin and digitoxin was performed in Tris buffer (10 mM; pH 9) with 90 mM sodium dodecyl sulfate and 10% isopropyl alcohol as an anionic surfactant and organic modifier. Under these conditions, good separation with high efficiency is achieved in short analysis times. Several parameters affecting the separation of the drugs were studied, including the pH and concentrations of the Tris buffer and sodium dodecyl sulfate. The linear range of the method for the determination of digoxin and digitoxin was over 0.01–0.3 mg/mL; the detection limit (signal to noise ratio = 3; injection 3.5 kPa 3 s) was 4 and 6 μg/mL, respectively. Application of the proposed method to the determination of digoxin in commercial tablets and in injections proved to be feasible.     

Capillary zone electrophoresis of cationic and anionic drugs in methanol

The actual mobilities and dissociation constants of acidic and basic pharmaceuticals were determined in methanol. Actual mobilities were derived from the dependence of the effective mobilities of the analytes on the pH of the methanolic background electrolyte solution (pH(MeOH)). The pKa values of the pharmaceuticals in methanol (pK(a,MeOH)) were calculated by non-linear curve fitting to the measured mobility values. It was found that the shift in pKa value (when compounds were transferred from water to methanol) increased with the acidity of the analyte. The average pKa shift for compounds exhibiting acidic properties in water was ca. 5.5 units, and the shift for basic compounds about 2 units. As was shown for a mixture of beta-blockers, the calculated actual mobilities and pKa values can be utilised in the optimisation of pH conditions for separation. The practical value of the method was illustrated by the analysis of urine samples.     

A hybrid nonaqueous electrochemical supercapacitor using nano-sized iron oxyhydroxide and activated carbon

A beta-iron oxyhydroxide (FeOOH) was synthesized via a hydrolyzing route and investigated as a lithium intercalation host. It delivers a capacity of about 170 mAh/g and exhibits good cycling performance when charged/discharged in the voltage range from 1.6 V to 3.3 V. For the first time we have confirmed that FeOOH is suitable for using it as a negative electrode for hybrid electrochemical supercapacitor assembled with an activated carbon positive electrode in 1.0 M LiPF₆ ethylene carbonate/dimethyl carbonate (EC/DMC, 1:2 in volume) solution. The cell reveals a slightly sloping voltage profile from 0 V to 2.8 V and gives an estimated specific energy of 45 Wh/kg based on the total weight of two electrode materials, approximately two times of carbon/carbon electrochemical double layer capacitors. The hybrid supercapacitor shows a good cycling performance, it remains approximately 96% of initial capacity after 800 cycles at a charge/discharge rate of 4 C. The capacitor also shows a desirable rate capability, even at 10 C discharge rate, it holds 80% of capacity compared with that at 1 C discharge rate.

Morphology-controlled nonaqueous synthesis of anisotropic lanthanum hydroxide nanoparticles

The preparation of lanthanum hydroxide and manganese oxide nanoparticles is presented, based on a nonaqueous sol-gel process involving the reaction of La(OiPr)₃ and KMnO₄ with organic solvents such as benzyl alcohol, 2-butanone and a 1:1 vol. mixture thereof. The lanthanum manganese oxide system is highly complex and surprising results with respect to product composition and morphology were obtained. In dependence of the reaction parameters, the La(OH)₃ nanoparticles undergo a shape transformation from short nanorods with an average aspect ratio of 2.1 to micron-sized nanofibers (average aspect ratio is more than 59.5). Although not directly involved, KMnO₄ plays a crucial role in determining the particle morphology of La(OH)₃. The reason lies in the fact that KMnO₄ is able to oxidize the benzyl alcohol to benzoic acid, which presumably induces the anisotropic particle growth in [0 0 1] direction upon preferential coordination to the ±(1 0 0), ±(0 1 0) and ±(−110) crystal facets. By adjusting the molar La(OiPr)₃-to-KMnO₄ ratio as well as by using the appropriate solvent mixture it is possible to tailor the morphology, phase purity and microstructure of the La(OH)₃ nanoparticles. Postsynthetic thermal treatment of the sample containing La(OH)₃ nanofibers and β-MnOOH nanoparticles at the temperature of 800 °C for 8 h yielded polyhedral LaMnO₃ and worm-like La₂O₃ nanoparticles as final products.
