High performance liquid chromatographic determination of a new antifungal compound, ADKZ in rat plasma.

A high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed and validated for the determination of ADKZ (1-(1H-1,2,4-triazole)-2-(2,4-diflurophenyl) -3-[N-methyl-N-(4-iodo-benzyl)amino]-2-propanol) in rat plasma. The compound was extracted from plasma samples by liquid-liquid extraction, and an isomeric compound of ADKZ (1-(1H-1,2,4-triazole)-2-(2,4-diflurophenyl)-3-[N-methyl-N -(3-iodo-benzyl)amino]-2-propanol) was used as the internal standard (IS), which were analyzed on a reversed-phase C18 column (5 microm, 200 mm x 4.6 mm i.d.). The extracted plasma samples were eluted with acetonitrile-0.018 M triethylamine solution adjusted to pH 3.2 with phosphoric acid (35:65, v/v). The effluent was monitored by a UV detector at 230 nm. The retention time of ADKZ was 7.1 min and IS 8.2 min. The calibration curves were linear in the concentration range of 0.02-2.00 microg/ml with the correlation coefficients greater than 0.999. The quantification limit of ADKZ in rat plasma was 0.02 microg/ml. Intra- and inter-day precision ranged from 2.6 to 7.9% and 3.1 to 9.6%, respectively. The extraction recovery from plasma was no less than 80%. No endogenous interferences were observed with either ADKZ or IS. The method has been successfully used to support the pre-clinical pharmacokinetic studies of ADKZ in rats.

Chiral liquid chromatography resolution and stereoselective pharmacokinetic study of tetrahydropalmatine enantiomers in dogs.

A selective chiral high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method coupled with achiral column was developed and validated to separate and quantify tetrahydropalmatine (THP) enantiomers in dog plasma. Chromatography was accomplished by two steps: (1) racemic THP was separated from biological matrix and collected on a Kromasil C18 column (150 mmx4.6 mm, 5 microm) with the mobile phase acetonitrile-0.1% phosphoric acid solution, adjusted with triethylamine to pH 6.15 (47:53); (2) enantiomeric separation was performed on a Chiralcel OJ-H column (250 mmx4.6 mm, 5 microm) with the mobile phase anhydrous ethanol. The detection wavelength was set at 230 nm. (+)-THP and (-)-THP were separated with a resolution factor (Rs) of at least 1.6 and a separation factor (alpha) greater than 1.29. Linear calibration curves were obtained over the range of 0.025-4 microg/ml in plasma for each of (+)-THP and (-)-THP (R2>0.999) with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.005 microg/ml and the recovery was greater than 88% for each enantiomer. The relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) and relative error values were less than 10% at upper and lower concentrations. The method was used to determine the pharmacokinetics of THP enantiomers after oral administration of racemic THP. The results presented herein showed the stereoselective disposition kinetics of THP in dogs and were a further contribution to the understanding of the kinetic behavior of THP analogues.

Study of stereoselective pharmacokinetics of anisodamine enantiomers in rabbits by capillary electrophoresis.

The purpose of this study was to determine the pharmacokinetics of anisodamine enantiomers in plasma after oral and intravenous administration of racemic anisodamine in rabbits. A capillary electrophoresis method for the simultaneous separation of two pairs of enantiomers in plasma has been firstly developed and validated. Using a 75 mM phosphate buffer containing 25 mM carboxymethylated-gamma-cyclodextrin at pH 2.5, good resolution was achieved on a 45-cm uncoated fused-silica capillary at the voltage of 20 kV and 25 degrees C. The pharmacokinetics of individual anisodamine enantiomers were characterized using the CE assay, the sole method of enantiomeric separation for anisodamine. Pharmacokinetic analysis of results indicated that anisodamine enantiomers showed non-stereoselective disposition or stereoselective disposition in different rabbits. For the rabbits with non-stereoselective disposition, similar pharmacokinetic characteristics were observed between (6S, 2'S)- and (6R, 2'R)-, or (6S, 2'R)- and (6R, 2'S)-anisodamine. For the rabbits with stereoselective disposition, (6S, 2'S)- and (6R, 2'S)-anisodamine were below the established LOD, while the two remaining enantiomers also had similar pharmacokinetic profiles. Further investigations remain necessary to find out the underlying mechanism about the stereoselective disposition of (6S, 2'S)- and (6R, 2'S)-anisodamine.

Determination of ferulic acid in Angelica sinensis and Chuanxiong by capillary zone electrophoresis.

Ferulic acid in extracts of raw herbs was separated by capillary zone electrophoresis in the buffer solution of 10 mmol/L Na(2)B(4)O(7). The simple and rapid method was linear, ranging from 5 to 100 microg/mL, and had a good reproducibility with the RSD below 2%. The contents of ferulic acid in Angelica sinensis and Chuanxiong could be easily determined within 15 min with no pretreatment and no interference.

Determination of glycyrrhizin in radix glycyrrhizae and its preparations by capillary zone electrophoresis.

A capillary zone electrophoresis method was set up for the separation and determination of glycyrrhizin in Chinese medicinal preparations. Concentrations of Na(2)B(4)O(7) were optimized, which showed that glycyrrhizin in the sample could be separated from interference in the running buffer of 30 mmol/L Na(2)B(4)O(7). Using declofenac as internal standard, the simple method was linear in the range 25-300 microg/mL of glycyrrhizin, and good reproducibility was obtained. The extracts of Radix glycyrrhizae and its preparations could be injected directly for analysis without any pretreatment.

Assessment of surgical operations for ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast.

The choice of surgical procedure for the treatment of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) remains clinically based. A meta-analysis was used to synthesize the results of 24 published clinical studies. Partial breast tissue excision appears to be as efficacious as mastectomy for the treatment of DCIS of the breast.

Separation and determination of anthraquinone derivatives in rhubarb and its preparations by micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography.

A micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatographic method was set up for the quality control of rhubarb and its preparations. Anthraquinone derivatives were separated successfully within 10 min in the buffer solution of 50 mmol/L H3BO3-NaOH (pH 11) containing 25 mmol/L sodium deoxycholate. The established method, with a recovery of extraction of over 90%, has good linear relationship and reproducibility. The contents of anthraquinone derivatives in rhubarb and a tablet of Niu-huang-jie-du differed significantly, showing that the quality control of rhubarb and its preparations is necessary.
