Abstract

Theoretical aspects of multiple solid-phase microextraction are described and the principle is illustrated with the extraction of lidocaine from aqueous solutions. With multiple extraction under non-equilibrium conditions considerably less time is required in order to obtain an extraction yield that is equal to that of one extraction at equilibrium. On the other side, the extraction yield can be increased if multiple extraction is performed with the same total time as is needed for one extraction at equilibrium time. The effect of multiple extraction is strongly dependent on the value of the partition constant and for practical use the length of the desorption time is important. A good agreement between theoretical and experimental data has been obtained. Chromatograms are presented showing the potential of multiple solid-phase microextraction.

Relationship of melanin degradation products to actual melanin content: application to human hair.

Methods not only for characterizing but also for quantitating melanin subtypes from the two types of melanin found in hair--eumelanin and pheomelanin--have been established. In relation to testing for drugs of abuse in hair, these methods will allow for correction of drug binding to specific melanin subtypes and will serve to improve drug measurement in hair. 5,6-Dihydroxyindole (DHI) and 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA) make up the majority of the eumelanin polymer while benzothiazene units derived from 2-cysteinyl-S-Dopa (2-CysDopa) and 5-cysteinyl-S-Dopa (5-CysDopa) compose the majority of the pheomelanin polymer. Our results show that: (1) pyrrole-2,3-dicarboxylic acid (PDCA) and pyrrole-2,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (PTCA), markers for DHI and DHICA units, respectively, are produced in 0.37 and 4.8% yields, respectively, when melanins are subjected to alkaline hydrogen peroxide degradation, (2) 3-aminotyrosine (3AT) and 4-amino-3-hydroxyphenylalanine (AHP), markers for 2-CysDopa and 5-CysDopa, respectively, are produced in 16 and 23% yield, respectively, when subjected to hydriodic acid hydrolysis, and (3) that black human hair contains approximately 99% eumelanin and 1% pheomelanin, brown and blond hair contain 95% eumelanin and 5% pheomelanin; and red hair contains 67% eumelanin and 33% pheomelanin. These data will allow deeper investigation into the relationship between melanin composition and drug incorporation into hair.

Selected reaction monitoring LC-MS determination of idoxifene and its pyrrolidinone metabolite in human plasma using robotic high-throughput, sequential sample injection.

The generation of large numbers of samples during early drug discovery has increased the demand for rapid and selective methods of analysis. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS), because of its sensitivity, selectivity, and robustness, has emerged as a powerful tool in the pharmaceutical industry for many analytical needs. This work presents a high-throughput selected reaction monitoring LC-MS bioanalytical method for the determination of idoxifene, a selective estrogen receptor modulator, and its pyrrolidinone metabolite in clinical human plasma samples. The described method uses short, small-bore columns, high flow rates, and elevated HPLC column temperatures to perform LC separations of idoxifene and its metabolite within 10 s/sample. Sequential injections were accomplished with a 215/889 multiple probe liquid handler (Gilson, Inc.), which aspirates eight samples simultaneously and performs its rinse cycle parallel to sample injection, resulting in minimum lag time between injections. This high-throughput method was applied to the determination of idoxifene and its metabolite in clinical human plasma samples. Sample preparation employed liquid/liquid extraction in the 96-well format. Method validation included determination of intra- and interassay accuracy and precision values, recovery studies, autosampler stability, and freeze-thaw stability. The LOQ obtained was 10 ng/mL for idoxifene and 30 ng/mL for the metabolite. Using idoxifene-d5 as an internal standard, idoxifene showed acceptable accuracy and precision values at QC level 1 (QC1, 15 ng/mL), level 2 (QC2, 100 ng/mL), and level 3 (QC3, 180 ng/mL) (85.0% accuracy +/- 12.0% precision, 95.1 +/- 4.9%, and 90.3 +/- 4.7%, respectively). The pyrrolidinone metabolite also showed acceptable accuracy and precision values (using no internal standard for quantitation) at QC1 (60 ng/mL), QC2 (100 ng/mL), and QC3 (180 ng/mL) (104.9 +/- 14.4%, 91.1 +/- 13.0%, and 90.8 +/- 12.2%, respectively). The validated method was applied to the analysis of 613 human clinical plasma samples. An average run time of 23 s/sample (approximately 37 min/ 96-well plate or over 3,700 sample/day) was achieved. The successful validation presented indicates that rapid methods of analysis can efficiently and reliably contribute to the fast sample turnaround required for high sample number generating processes.

Ultrafast liquid chromatography/ultraviolet and liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometric analysis.

Optimal liquid chromatography/mass spectrometric [LC/MS(/MS)] analysis depends on both the LC selectivity and the electrospray efficiency. Here, we outline a simple and comprehensive LC/MS/MS strategy for the rapid analysis of a wide range of pharmaceutical compounds. To achieve ultrafast LC separation with little sacrifice in peak capacity, one needs to start with a column that provides a good peak capacity at short gradient run times; secondly, it is important to use high flow rates to achieve a good gradient peak capacity. Following this strategy, it was possible to baseline-resolve a mixture (containing acidic, neutral, and basic pharmaceutical analytes) in seconds. By coupling the selectivity provided by fast LC separation with the specificity of MS/MS detection, it is possible to separate and identify a wide range of analytes in 1-min gradient analyses. Also, the impact of mobile phase pH on both the chromatographic selectivity and the MS/MS sensitivity is demonstrated.
