Piroxicam quantitation in human plasma by high-performance liquid chromatography with on- and off-line solid-phase extraction.

A comparative study of two analytical methodologies for piroxicam quantitation in plasma by off-line and on-line solid-phase extraction (SPE) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is described. The SPE cartridges contained C8 for both extraction methods. The analytes piroxicam and tenoxican (internal standard) were separated on a C18 column with a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile:20 mM phosphate buffer pH 3.1 (50:50, v/v) followed by UV detection at 360 nm. The validation of the methods demonstrated good recoveries (over 90%), sensitivity (limits of quantification of 0.05 microgram/ml with on-line SPE and 0.1 microgram/ml with off-line SPE, based on a 100 microliters and 200 microliters sample volume, respectively), accuracy and precision (better than 9.5%). Both methodologies have been used for bioequivalence studies.

Rapid, solid phase extraction technique for the high-throughput assay of darifenacin in human plasma.

A novel method has been developed for the rapid solid phase extraction of drugs and metabolites from biological fluids, prior to further analysis. The newly designed, 96-tube micropreparation block facilitates high throughput by enabling the extraction of 96 samples simultaneously. The system is described, linked to HPLC/APCI-MS/MS, for the determination of darifenacin in human plasma. The resulting procedure, using deuterated darifenacin as internal standard, is validated over the concentration range 25-2000 pg/mliter; accuracy (0.6-4.6%) and precision (3.6-18.8%) are considered acceptable and overall recovery was determined to be approximately 50%.

Determination of melatonin in saliva using automated solid-phase extraction, high-performance liquid chromatography and fluorescence detection.

A sensitive bioanalytical method for the determination of melatonin in saliva by solid-phase extraction (SPE), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and fluorescence detection has been developed and validated. Saliva was collected with a Salivette sampling device (Sarstedt) and a mixed-mode SPE column was used for the extraction of melatonin and internal standard (N-acetyl-6-methoxytryptamine) from the saliva. Chromatographic separation was performed using a HyPurity C18 LC column (150 x 2.1 mm) with mobile phase acetonitrile-ammonium hydrogen carbonate buffer, 0.015 M, pH 6.8 (23:77, v/v). Excitation and emission wavelengths were set to 285 nm and 345 nm, respectively. The within-day precision for the method at 50 pmol/L was 7.9 % and the between-day precision was 10.5 %. The limit of quantification was 50 pmol/L.

Simultaneous identification of cocaine and benzoylecgonine using solid phase extraction and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.

A procedure for the simultaneous detection and quantitation of cocaine and benzoylecgonine from urine is described. Using solid phase extraction, cocaine, benzoylecgonine, deuterated cocaine, and deuterated benzoylecgonine (2 internal standards) are extracted from urine. Benzoylecgonine and the deuterated benzoylecgonine are derivatized to their trimethylsilyl esters. The underivatized cocaine and derivatized benzoylecgonine are detected by electron impact mass spectrometry in the selected ion monitoring mode. Both cocaine and benzoylecgonine are detected at concentrations of 50 ng/mL. In addition, the procedure is simple, rapid, and suitable for a large number of specimens.

Use of solid-phase extraction disks for analysis of moderately polar and nonpolar pesticides in high-moisture foods.

This study investigated the use of solid-phase extraction (SPE) disks in analysis of high-moisture (< 2% fat) foods for organophosphorus and organochlorinated pesticides with low (< 25 mg/mL) water solubilities. Five representative foods were each spiked with one of 18 pesticides at 2 levels. Gas chromatography with flame photometric and electrolytic conductivity detection was used to quantitate organophosphates and organochlorinated pesticides, respectively. Essentially complete recoveries (> or = 80%) suggest that use of SPE disks can complement traditional liquid-liquid extraction procedures.

Analysis of N-acylhomoserine lactones after alkaline hydrolysis and anion-exchange solid-phase extraction by capillary zone electrophoresis-mass spectrometry.

A quantitative, specific, and sensitive method for the determination of N-acylhomoserine lactones (HSLs - a group of bacterial semiochemicals) in the form of their hydrolysis products (N-acylhomoserines, HSs) is presented. Real samples were analyzed by capillary zone electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CZE-MS) after alkaline lactonolysis and extraction by mixed-mode anion-exchange solid-phase extraction. The presented cleanup significantly speeds up the HSL extraction procedure, strongly reduces sample consumption, and is more selective compared to the commonly used liquid/liquid extraction. Completeness of the hydrolysis reaction was examined by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. This CZE-MS method complements recently published capillary separation techniques (nano liquid chromatography-MS, partial-filling micellar electrokinetic chromatography-MS, gas chromatography-MS) and provides a possibility to differentiate quantitatively between the homoserines (as naturally occurring degradation products) besides the intact homoserine lactones. The method was found to be quantitative down to a concentration of 0.05 microg/mL (limit of quantification), while the limit of detection was determined with 0.01 microg/mL - sufficient for the analysis of culture supernatants.

Determination of ten sulfonyl urea herbicides in unpolished rice by solid-phase extraction cleanup and LC-diode array detection.

A liquid chromatographic (LC) method with diode array detection (DAD) was developed for screening of 10 sulfonyl urea herbicide residues in unpolished rice. The investigated herbicides were azimsulfuron, bensulfuron-methyl, chlorimuron-ethyl, chlorsulfuron, ethoxysulfuron, flazasulfuron, imazosulfuron, metsulfuron-methyl, pyrazosulfuron-ethyl and tribenuron-methyl. Acetonitrile-water (2:1) extracts of rice samples were cleaned up with solid-phase extraction cartridges (octadecylsilane-bonded silica (ODS) and graphitized carbon black (GCB)). Three fractions of the GCB eluate were taken for analysis using 3 separate injections in order to avoid interference in LC-DAD analysis and to reduce analyte coelution problems. Recoveries from rice samples fortified with the 10 herbicides at 0.05 and 0.2 microgram/g ranged from 46.6 to 119.6%, and coefficients of variation were 3.1-12.6%. The quantitation limits were 0.01-0.02 microgram/g.

Determination of 18 beta-glycyrrhetinic acid in biological fluids from humans and rats by solid-phase extraction and high-performance liquid chromatography.

Methods have been developed and characterized allowing rapid isolation and quantification of 18 beta-glycyrrhetinic acid (GRA) in biological fluids from both humans and rats. Sample preparation includes extraction with urea-methanol for plasma samples, and solid-phase extraction (SPE) for urine and bile samples. Hydrolysis of GRA glucuronides in urine and bile was performed by treatment with beta-glucuronidase. MGRA, the 3-O-methyl derivative of GRA was synthesized as an internal standard resistant to hydrolysis. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was performed with an isocratic system using methanol-water-acetic acid (83:16.8:0.2, v/v/v) as solvent on a Lichrocart RP-18 column at 30 degrees C with ultraviolet detection. The methods allowed base line separation of GRA and MGRA from all biological fluids tested, with a detection limit of 0.15 mg/l. Validation of the methods included determination of recovery, accuracy and precision in plasma, bile and urine from humans and rats. The methods were further evaluated by investigating the pharmacokinetics of GRA in normal rats and in rats with a bile fistula. Following an intravenous dose of 10 mg/kg, the plasma concentration-time curve of GRA could be fitted to a one compartment model both in control and bile fistula rats. The elimination half life averaged 15.0 +/- 2.2 versus 16.8 +/- 2.4 min in control and bile fistula rats (difference not significant). Within 90 min following administration of GRA, urinary elimination of GRA and GRA glucuronides was less than 1% in both groups whereas biliary elimination averaged 51.3 +/- 3.1%. The results show that the methods developed allow pharmacokinetic studies of GRA in humans and rats.

Quantitative analysis of ochratoxin A in wine and beer using solid phase extraction and high performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence detection.

A reliable and accurate method is described for the quantitative analysis of ochratoxin A (OTA) in wine and beer. The method involves the use of disposable non-polar polymeric and aminopropyl solid-phase extraction cartridges to isolate the mycotoxin from alcoholic beverages. Extracts were subsequently analysed using reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence detection with post column ammoniation to improve the limit of detection. The precision of the method determined at three levels in both wine and beer was less than 5% (RSD). Standard addition studies in both wine and beer showed that the recovery of OTA varied between 90 and 106% over a concentration range of 0.016-1.284 microg l-1. The detection and quantification limits were shown to be better than 0.004 (S/N = 3) and 0.016 microg l-1 (S/N = 10) for both beer and wine.

Solid-phase extraction of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Cd(II) and Pb(II) ions from environmental samples by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS).

A new method using a column packed with Amberlite XAD-2010 resin as a solid-phase extractant has been developed for the multi-element preconcentration of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Cd(II), and Pb(II) ions based on their complex formation with the sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (Na-DDTC) prior to flame atomic absorption spectrometric (FAAS) determinations. Metal complexes sorbed on the resin were eluted by 1 mol L(-1) HNO3 in acetone. Effects of the analytical conditions over the preconcentration yields of the metal ions, such as pH, quantity of Na-DDTC, eluent type, sample volume and flow rate, foreign ions etc. have been investigated. The limits of detection (LOD) of the analytes were found in the range 0.08-0.26 microg L(-1). The method was validated by analyzing three certified reference materials. The method has been applied for the determination of trace elements in some environmental samples.

Reverse fluorous solid-phase extraction: a new technique for rapid separation of fluorous compounds.

Fluorous-tagged compounds can rapidly be separated from organic (non-tagged) compounds by the new separation technique of reverse fluorous solid-phase extraction (r-fspe). In a reversal of the roles of solid and liquid phases in standard fluorous spe, a mixture is charged to a polar solid phase (standard silica gel) and then eluted with a fluorous solvent or solvent mixture. The organic components of the mixture are retained, while the fluorous components pass. [structure: see text]

HPLC-UV method for the quantitation of nevirapine in biological matrices following solid phase extraction.

Nevirapine (VIRAMUNE) is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor with activity against human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), currently marketed for the treatment of HIV-1 infected adults. A reverse phase HPLC-UV method was optimized and validated for the determination of nevirapine in human plasma, serum, milk and cerebrospinal fluid. The analyte was extracted from 250 microl of biofluid using a bonded silica solid phase extraction column, and resolved chromatographically on a reversed-phase, 15x0.46 cm i.d. 5 microm particle Supelco LC-8 analytical column with an isocratic mobile phase of 63% phosphate buffer (0.025 M, pH 6.0) with 1-butanesulfonic acid as anion-pair reagent: 21.5% methanol: 15.5% acetonitrile. The peaks were detected at a flow rate of 1.0 ml min(-1), at a wavelength of 280 nm, with a run time of 10 min. The assay was linear over a range of 25 to 10000 ng ml(-1). This method has been used for the clinical development of nevirapine.

Determination of plasma concentrations of losartan in patients by HPLC using solid phase extraction and UV detection.

PURPOSE: To establish a HPLC assay for plasma losartan and its active metabolite EXP3174 to facilitate clinical pharmacokinetic studies. METHODS: the HPLC system consisted of a 250 x 2 mm i.d. C18 reversed phase column preceded by a 4 x 4 mm guard column, a UV detector set at 254 nm, and an integrator. The mobile phase was a mixture of 0.01 M ammonium phosphate: acetonitrile: methanol (6:3:1) containing 0.02 % sodium azide and 0.04% TEA, with pH adjusted to 3.2. The system was operated isocratically at ambient temperature at a flow rate of 0.3 ml/min. Losartan and its active metabolite EXP3174 were extracted from plasma using C2 bonded silica gel standard solid phase extraction. RESULTS: recoveries of losartan and EXP3174 from plasma were greater than 70%. Using 0.5 ml of plasma sample, standard curves were linear from 10 to 300 ng/ml (r2 = 0.996 and 0.997 for losartan and EXP 3174, respectively). Sensitivity of the assay was < 10 ng/ml. Intra-and inter-assay variations were < 10 and 15%. respectively. The assay has been successfully applied to measuring plasma concentrations of losartan and EXP3174 in patients receiving a daily dose of losartan (50-100 mg). CONCLUSION: The HPLC assay has adequate sensitivity, reproducibility, and specificity for clinical pharmacokinetic studies.

Application of the Empore solid-phase extraction membrane to the isolation of drugs from blood: II. Mexiletine and flecainide.

A stabilized therapeutic drug monitoring procedure incorporating the novel Empore solid-phase extraction membrane (SPEM) for isolation of the antiarrhythmic drugs mexiletine (MEX) and flecainide (FLEC) from serum is described. Routinely, serum (0.5 ml), adjusted to pH 4.5, is passed through an octyl (C8) SPEM to extract the drugs. A methanol:water wash follows to remove proteins and interferences. MEX and FLEC are eluted from the membrane with mobile phase and an aliquot is injected directly onto a Zorbax cyanopropyl (CN) high-performance liquid chromatographic column with detection at 214 nm. Evaporating/concentrating techniques that can adversely influence the stability of the volatile MEX are unnecessary. Recovery for both drugs exceeds 90% and the assay is linear from 0.05 mg/L up to at least 6.0 mg/L for MEX and from 0.05 mg/L up to at least 3.0 mg/L for FLEC. Precision (between-run) coefficients of variation range from 2.3 to 3.0% (0.49-1.97 mg/L) for MEX and 3.7 to 5.9% (0.240-0.992 mg/L) for FLEC. Interferences are minimal. When we compared performance of the Empore SPEM and large-particle solid-phase sorbents packed in cartridges, we observed greater capacity per gram of sorbent and smaller elution volume with the membrane. Most important, concentrating steps that adversely affect the stability of MEX are avoided with the SPEM.

Selective solid-phase extraction of cholesterol using molecularly imprinted polymers and its application in different biological samples.

Non-covalent molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) of cholesterol were prepared by UV initiated polymerization. A polymer that had the highest binding selectivity and capability was used as solid-phase extraction (SPE) sorbents for direct extraction of cholesterol from different biological samples (human serum, cow milk, yolk, shrimp, pork and beef). The extraction conditions of molecularly imprinted SPE (MISPE) were optimized and the optimum protocol was: conditioning MISPE cartridges with n-hexane, loading with n-hexane, washing with n-hexane and n-hexane:toluene=9:1, respectively, then eluting with chloroform:ethanol:acetic acid=3:1:1. Cholesterol MISPE selectively recognized, effectively trapped and pre-concentrated cholesterol over a concentration range of 10-80 microg/mL. Recoveries ranged from 80.6% to 92.7%, with R.S.D. lower than 9.8%. Under the optimal condition, MISPE recoveries of spiked human serum, yolk, cow milk, shrimp, pork and beef were 91.1%, 80.4%, 86.6%, 78.2%, 81.4% and 80.1%, respectively. Compared with C18 SPE, almost all of the matrix interferences were removed after MISPE, and better baselines and higher selectivity were achieved.

Determination of benzalkonium chloride in ophthalmic solutions containing tyloxapol by solid-phase extraction and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography.

A procedure using solid-phase extraction (Supelcoclean CN) followed by HPLC [Beckman Ultrasphere CN, acetonitrile:phosphate solution (60:40, v/v)] was developed and validated to quantitate the quaternary ammonium preservative benzalkonium chloride in an experimental ophthalmic formulation containing the polymeric material tyloxapol. This procedure makes routine determinations of benzalkonium chloride at concentrations of 0.0035 to 0.01% simpler than the traditional ion-pairing colorimetric methods. This method is quick, specific, and especially useful for drug product stability studies. In addition, because the method distinguishes each homologue, it can be extended to routinely determine the homologue ratio for quality control purposes.

Study of the metabolism on tobacco-specific N-nitrosamines in the rabbit by solid-phase extraction and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

Metabolism of four tobacco-specific N-nitrosamines (TSNAs), N'-nitrosonornicotine (NNN), N'-nitrosoanatabine (NAT), N'-nitrosoanabasine (NAB), and 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) has been studied by solid-phase extraction (SPE) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS). 4-(Methylnitrosamino)-4-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol (iso-NNAL) was used as internal standard. SPE and LC-MS-MS was found to be a rapid, simple, sensitive, and selective method for analysis of TSNAs in rabbit serum. The relative standard deviation (R.S.D., n = 6) for analysis of 5 ng mL(-1) and 0.5 ng mL(-1) standards and of serum sample spiked with 5 ng mL(-1) standards of five TSNAs was 2.1-11% and recovery of 5 ng mL(-1) standards from serum was 100.2-112.9%. A good linear relationship was obtained between peak area ratio and concentration in the range of 0.2-100 ng mL(-1) for NNAL and 0.5-100 ng mL(-1) for other four TSNAs, with correlation coefficients (R2) >0.99 (both linear and log-log regression). Detection limits for standards in solvent were between 0.04 and 0.10 ng mL(-1). Doses of TSNAs administered to rabbits via the auricular vein were 4.67 microg kg(-1) and 11.67 microg kg(-1), in accordance with the different levels in cigarettes. Metabolic curves were obtained for the four TSNAs and for 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol (NNAL), a metabolite of NNK; on the basis of these curves we modeled metabolic kinetic equations for these TSNAs by nonlinear curve fitting.
