Abstract

A poly (vinyl chloride) membrane electrode with dibutyl phthalate as plasticizer based on a fentanyl-tetrakis(4-chlorophenyl)borate ion-pair complex for the determination of fentanyl citrate in injections is described. A linear response over the range 1 x 10(-5) mol.dm-3 to 1 x 10(-2) mol.dm-3 drug with a slope of 59.3 +/- 0.6 mV/decade was established. The optimum pH range was 1 to 6. The lower detection limit was 8 x 10(-6) mol.dm-3 fentanyl citrate (2.7 micrograms cm-3 fentanyl). There were negligible interferences from a number of inorganic cations, structural analogues, and some common drug additives used in injections. The electrode proposed has been successfully applied to determine fentanyl citrate in injections. The results correlated well with those obtained by the United States Pharmacopoeia standard procedure.

Separation of oligostyrene isomers in a complex mixture using two-dimensional heart-cutting reversed-phased liquid chromatography.

The development of a two-dimensional liquid chromatographic system requires a process of assessment that can yield an optimum performing system with minimal experimental evaluation. Information Theory and a geometric approach to Factor Analysis are two techniques that when used in combination, provide important information on the expected two-dimensional performance. In the present study, we compare the predicted separation performance of two-dimensional systems that have been subjected to analysis by Information Theory and Factor Analysis to that of actual chromatographic separation performance. Our test separation comprised a mixture of 32 oligostyrene structural isomers and stereoisomers. The optimal combination as determined by Information Theory and Factor Analysis consisted of a C18 column with a methanol mobile phase in the first dimension and a carbon clad zirconia column with an acetonitrile mobile phase in the second dimension. This system was also shown to be the most successful practical system when a heart-cutting approach was employed. The practical results were in total agreement with the results from Information Theory and Factor Analysis. The number of isomers resolved using this system was 27. A second system, namely one comprising of a C18 column and methanol mobile phase in the first dimension and a carbon clad zirconia column with a methanol mobile phase in the second dimension was also predicted to be a system with high separation potential. However, practical assessment of this system did not realise the theoretical predictions, largely due to the long separation times required in the second dimension. Furthermore, all combinations that employed a C18 column with an acetonitrile mobile phase in the first dimension failed to realise the theoretical separation potential due to high solute crowding, low orthogonality and a disordered arrangement of bands along the first separation axis. This was also predicted by the theoretical assessment.

Quantification of the new triketone herbicides, sulcotrione and mesotrione, and other important herbicides and metabolites, at the ng/l level in surface waters using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

The LC/ESI/MSMS method allows the trace quantification (ng/l) of the new triketone herbicides, i.e. sulcotrione and mesotrione, and important herbicides and metabolites, in natural waters. Solid phase extraction (SPE) for sample enrichment is performed with OASIS (recoveries 94-112% for parent herbicides). Neutral and acidic compounds were analyzed separately with ESI in positive and negative mode, respectively. Quantification limits varied between 0.5 and 10 ng/l. The acidic herbicides detection was improved by a neutralizing post-column addition solution. The influence of ion suppression on quantification is discussed in detail. It is shown that we could overcome this problem and achieve reliable quantification using isotope labeled internal standards (ILIS) for every single analyte. The methods performance is illustrated with samples from a lake depth profile.

Simultaneous determination of glipizide and rosiglitazone unbound drug concentrations in plasma by equilibrium dialysis and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

Glipizide and rosiglitazone are widely used to treat Type 2 diabetes. In order to investigate drug-drug protein binding interaction between glipizide and rosiglitazone, a method was developed and validated for simultaneously determining the free (unbound) fraction of glipizide and rosiglitazone in plasma employing equilibrium dialysis for the separation of free drug and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for quantitation. Post-dialysis human plasma or buffer samples of 0.2 ml were extracted using a liquid-liquid extraction procedure and analyzed by a high performance liquid chromatography electrospray tandem mass spectrometer system. The compounds were eluted isocratically on a Zorbax SB-Phenyl column, ionized using an atmospheric pressure electrospray ionization source and analyzed in positive ion mode with multiple reaction monitoring. The ion transitions monitored were m/z 446-->321 for glipizide, m/z 358-->135 for rosiglitazone, and m/z 271-->155 for tolbutamide (internal standard, IS). The chromatographic run time was 5 min per injection, with retention times of 2.3, 3.4 and 2.3 min for glipizide, rosiglitazone and IS, respectively. The calibration curves of glipizide and rosiglitazone were over the range of 1-2000 ng/ml (r(2)>0.9969) in the combined matrix of human plasma and isotonic sodium phosphate buffer (1:1, v/v). The inter-assay precision and accuracy of the quality control samples were <10.9% of coefficient of variability and >93.5% and 94.5% of nominal concentration for glipizide and rosiglitazone, respectively. The lower limit of quantitation of both glipizide and rosiglitazone was 1.0 ng/ml. Both glipizide and rosiglitazone bound to plasma protein extensively (>99% bound). Glipizide and rosiglitazone free fraction averaged 0.678+/-0.071 and 0.389+/-0.061%, respectively, at plasma concentration of 1000 ng/ml. This developed method proves reproducible and sensitive and its application to clinical samples is also reported.
