Determination of amosulalol in human plasma using solid-phase extraction combined with liquid chromatography and ultraviolet detection.

Amosulalol is an antihypertensive drug with selective postsynaptic alpha 1 and non-selective beta blocking effects. A simple solid-phase extraction and high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method has been developed and validated for the quantitative determination of amosulalol in human plasma. A reversed phase C18 column was used for the separation of amosulalol and ethyl paraben (internal standard) with a mobile phase composed of 0.025 M phosphate buffer (pH 6.0).acetonitrile (73:27, v/v) at a flow rate of 1.5 mL/min. The ultraviolet detector was operated at the 272 nm wavelength. Intra- and inter-day precision and accuracy were acceptable for all quality control samples including the lower limit of quantification of 30 ng/mL. Recovery of amosulalol from human plasma was >95.6%. Amosulalol was stable in human plasma under various storage conditions. This method was used successfully for a pharmacokinetic study in plasma after oral administration of a single 20 mg dose of amosulalol hydrochloride to 16 healthy volunteers.

Determination of linear alkylbenzenesulfonates in wastewater treatment plants and coastal waters by automated solid-phase extraction followed by capillary electrophoresis-UV detection and confirmation by capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry.

Linear alkylbenzenesulfonates (LASs) were determined in wastewaters and coastal waters by solid-phase extraction, using two different sample preparation protocols depending on the sample treated, followed by capillary electrophoresis and ultraviolet detection (CE-UV). The linear range of the proposed method varied from 3 to 53 and from 25 to 495 microg/l, depending on the compound, with a limit of detection of 1 microg/l when 250 ml of coastal water was preconcentrated. [M-H]- ions were used for CE-MS confirmation after quantification by CE-UV. CE-MS diagnostic ions were the same ones used in LC-electrospray (ESI) MS and corresponded to m/z 297, 311, 325 and 339 for C10, C11, C12 and C13 LASs, respectively. LASs were determined in wastewater samples of the influent and effluent of three wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), two of them using biological treatment with secondary settlement and receiving mainly domestic wastewaters whereas one of the plants was operated with physicochemical treatment and received mainly industrial wastewaters. LASs were also analyzed in two samples from coastal waters of the bay of Cadiz (Spain) receiving untreated domestic effluents. All samples were also analyzed by LC-ESI-MS and the results are compared with the CE-UV method developed in this work. The concentration levels of total LASs varied from 988 to 1309 microg/l in the influents of WWTPs, whereas in the effluents the concentrations varied from 136 to 197 microg/l. The levels of LASs in coastal wastewaters of the bay of Cadiz varied from 739 to 911 microg/l, indicating that the wastewaters discharged into the bay did not undergo any treatment at all.

Automated trace level determination of glyphosate and aminomethyl phosphonic acid in water by on-line anion-exchange solid-phase extraction followed by cation-exchange liquid chromatography and post-column derivatization.

An automated method based on the on-line coupling of anion-exchange solid-phase extraction (SPE) and cation-exchange liquid chromatography followed by post-column derivatization and fluorescence detection has been developed for the trace level determination of glyphosate and its primary conversion product aminomethyl phosphonic acid (AMPA) in water. PRP-X100 poly(styrene-divinylbenzene)-trimethylammonium anion-exchange cartridges (20 x 2 mm, 10 microm) were selected for the SPE of glyphosate and AMPA. The ionic compounds present in the samples strongly influenced the extraction of both analytes; however, when an on-line ion-exchange clean-up step was introduced before sample SPE, the problem was largely solved. By processing 100-ml samples detection limits better than 0.02 microg/l for glyphosate and 0.1 microg/l for AMPA were achieved in river water. Both analytes were unstable in solution and the approach of storing samples on the PRP-X100 SPE cartridges was evaluated for a period of 1 month under three different storage conditions (deep freeze, refrigeration and 20 degrees C).

Conductive polymers as new media for solid-phase extraction: isolation of chlorophenols from water sample.

Three different conductive polymers, poly-N-methylaniline (PNMA), polyaniline and polydiphenylamine were synthesised and used as sorbents for the solid-phase extraction of some phenolic compounds from water. The separation and determination was, subsequently, performed by gas chromatography-electron-capture and flame ionization detection. Among these easy-made polymers, PNMA gave better recovery for the extraction of the studied analytes. The capability of the PNMA to extract other non-polar compounds such as chloro- and methylbenzene, decane, decanol, cyclohexane and cyclohexanol was also studied. The polymer showed some sort of selectivity towards aromatic compounds than aliphatic. Preconcentration of sample volumes up to 1 l at pH 2 using 120 mg of PNMA led to acceptable recoveries for phenolic compounds, except for phenol. Recovery of phenol for 100 ml of water was 72%. Limits of detection for chlorophenols when 250 ml river water was preconcentrated were between 1 and 40 ng l(-1), analyzed by GC-electron-capture detection.

Solid-phase extraction: method development, sorbents, and coupling with liquid chromatography.

The objective of this review is to provide updated information about the most important features of the new solid-phase extraction (SPE) materials, their interaction mode and their potential for modern SPE. First, the recent developments are given in formats, phases, automation, high throughput purpose and set-up of new types of procedures. Emphasis is then placed on the large choice of sorbents for trapping analytes over a wide range of polarities, such as highly cross-linked copolymers, functionalized copolymers, graphitized carbons or some specific n-alkylsilicas. The method development is given which is based on prediction from liquid chromatographic retention data or solvation parameters in order to determine the main parameters of any sequence (type and amount of sorbent, sample volume which can be applied without loss of recovery, composition and volume of the clean-up solution, composition and volume of the desorption solution). Obtaining extracts free from matrix interferences in a few steps--one step when possible--is now included in the development of SPE procedure. New selective phases such as mixed-mode and restricted access matrix sorbents or emerging phases such as immunosorbents or molecularly imprinted polymers are reviewed. Selectivity obtained by combining two sorbents is described with the use of ion-exchange or ion-pair sorbents. Special attention is given to complete automation of the SPE sequence with its on-line coupling with liquid chromatography followed by various detection modes. This represents a fast, modern and reliable approach to trace analysis. Many examples illustrate the various features of modern SPE which are discussed in this review. They have been selected in both biological and environmental areas.

Comparison of commercial solid-phase extraction sorbents for the sample preparation of potato glycoalkaloids.

In this study five different commercial sorbents C18, SCX, CN, Certify and Oasis HLB were compared for the solid-phase extraction of potato glycoalkaloids. The recoveries were determined using alpha-solanine, alpha-chaconine and alpha-tomatine, which contained dehydrotomatine as an impurity, as standard compounds. The samples were analysed by reversed-phase liquid chromatography under gradient elution conditions using a Zorbax Rx-C18 column and acetonitrile-25 mM triethylammonium phosphate buffer (pH 3.0) as the mobile phase. The highest recovery (approximately 100%) was achieved with Oasis HLB (60 mg) cartridges. An acetic acid extract of wild Solanum brevidens leaf material was used for the testing of a clean-up procedure. The SCX proved to be the most selective and efficient for removing the undesired components from the leaf extract.

Determination of bisphenol A in blood using high-performance liquid chromatography-electrochemical detection with solid-phase extraction.

A method for the determination of bisphenol A (BPA) in blood was investigated using high-performance liquid chromatography-electrochemical detection (HPLC-ED) with solid-phase extraction. When BPA at the concentrations of 25-100 ng/ml were added to whole blood, BPA recoveries were 26-48%. When BPA was added to water, plasma or hemolyzed red blood cells (H-RBC), BPA recoveries in water and plasma were almost similar (94%). However, the recovery in H-RBC was very low (36-46%). When BPA and plasma were added to H-RBC, the recovery was 70-85%. In authentic bovine metHb solution, BPA decreased depending on the metHb concentration, however, BPA recovery in the solution added with more than 17% plasma was higher than that in metHb only. These suggest that metHb influences the BPA recovery in whole blood. However, an accurate determination of BPA using HPLC was easily made possible by separating RBC from plasma.

Automated determination of tramadol enantiomers in human plasma using solid-phase extraction in combination with chiral liquid chromatography.

A sensitive and automated method for the separation and individual determination of tramadol enantiomers in plasma has been developed using solid-phase extraction (SPE) on disposable extraction cartridges (DECs) in combination with chiral liquid chromatography (LC). The SPE operations were performed automatically by means of a sample processor equipped with a robotic arm (ASPEC system). The DEC filled with ethyl silica (50 mg) was first conditioned with methanol and phosphate buffer, pH 7.4. A 1.0-ml volume of plasma was then applied on the DEC. The washing step was performed with the same buffer. The analytes were eluted with 0.15 ml of methanol, and 0.35 ml of phosphate buffer, pH 6.0, containing sodium perchlorate (0.2 M) were added to the extract before injection into the LC system. The enantiomeric separation of tramadol was achieved using a Chiralcel OD-R column containing cellulose tris-(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) as chiral stationary phase. The mobile phase was a mixture of phosphate buffer, pH 6.0, containing sodium perchlorate (0.2 M) and acetonitrile (75:25). The mobile-phase pH and the NaClO4 concentration were optimized with respect to enantiomeric resolution. The method developed was validated. Recoveries for both enantiomers of tramadol were about 100%. The method was found to be linear in the 2.5-150 ng/ml concentration range [r2=0.999 for (+)- and (-)-tramadol]. The repeatability and intermediate precision at a concentration of 50 ng/ml were 6.5 and 8.7% for (+)-tramadol and 6.1 and 7.6% for (-)-tramadol, respectively.

Development and validation of a high-performance liquid chromatographic assay using solid-phase extraction for the novel antitumor agent pancratistatin in human plasma.

The stability of the experimental anti-tumour agent pancratistatin in human plasma has been investigated. A solid-phase extraction technique and an HPLC assay with external standards have been developed and validated. Extraction was performed using C18 cartridges and HPLC, analysis was performed on a 15 cm Hypersil BDS column using isocratic elution with 13% acetonitrile and aqueous solution of 1% (w/v) acetic acid. The lower limit of quantification for pancratistatin in 5% DMF-95% water was found to be 0.58 ng/ml (+/-10.58%) and 2.3 ng/ml (+/-9.2%) following extraction from human plasma. Mean recovery of 89.4% (+/-4.73%) was obtained over the concentration range 0.0023-9.45 microg/ml for a five day validation study. Pancratistatin was stable at room temperature in light or dark for at least 15 days, in the refrigerator at 4 degrees C for at least 16 days and in the freezer at -20 degrees C or -80 degrees C for at least 28 days. Under all conditions monitored, % recovery of pancratistatin from human plasma was greater than 95% and no evidence of degradation had occurred. There also was no loss of pancratistatin after three cycles of freezing and thawing.

Determination of amphotericin B in human plasma using solid-phase extraction and high-performance liquid chromatography.

A rapid and selective HPLC method is described and validated for measuring amphotericin B (AB) in plasma. The procedure involves the solid phase extraction of AB from plasma by incorporating 1-amino-4-nitronaphthalene as an internal standard during the last elution step in extraction followed by HPLC analysis with UV detection at 407 nm. The chromatographic separation is achieved in less than 10 min on a reversed-phase C-18 column using acetonitrile-disodium edetate (20 mM) (45:55, v/v) at pH 5.0 as eluent. A linear response over the concentration range of 0.0100--2.00 microg ml(-1) is obtained having a detection limit of 0.00500 microg ml(-1) for AB. The mean extraction recovery is found to be 98.1+/-1.1% (n=15). The within-day and day-to-day R.S.D. were less than 2% (n=15) and 6.54% (n=45) respectively. This method is applied for quantifying AB trough levels in the plasma of cancer patients who have been on antifungal therapy with AmBisome. It can further be applied either for AB therapeutic monitoring or single/multiple pharmacokinetic analysis of AB in plasma.

Solid-phase extraction coupled with electrochemical detection for the determination of the herbicide bromofenoxim in water samples at low- and sub-microgram l-1 levels.

The application of solid-phase extraction (SPE) as a preconcentration and clean-up step with subsequent off-line flow injection amperometric (FI-AD) or batch square-wave voltammetric (SWV) detection of the herbicide bromofenoxim was developed. The selection of an appropriate organic eluent, some parameters influencing the efficiency of the SPE and the electrochemical detection of bromofenoxim in the organic effluent solution were thoroughly investigated. Undiluted acetonitrile with SWV and acetonitrile-water (80 + 20) with FI-AD, both containing 0.1 mol l-1 LiClO4, were chosen as the most appropriate SPE eluents. The addition of LiClO4 as supporting electrolyte to the eluent and acidification of a water sample to 1 x 10(-3) mol l-1 HClO4 (pH 3) prior to the SPE procedure were found to improve greatly the current response on mercury drop (SWV) and mercury film (FI-AD) electrodes. Subsequent to the SPE procedure, the effluents were transferred to the voltammetric cell or injected into the flow injection system without any further treatment. The calibration plots obtained for bromofenoxim in pure water samples were linear over the ranges 0.2-12.0 micrograms l-1 and 3.0-120 micrograms l-1, with calculated detection limits of 0.05 and 1.5 micrograms l-1 (100 ml samples), for the SPE-SWV and SPE-FI-AD procedures, respectively. The actual detection capabilities of the proposed methods depend on the water sample volumes applied to the extraction cartridges. The recoveries of the over-all procedures, applying spiked tap water samples, and the corresponding RSDs were 92% and 6% (n = 6) and 121% and 9% (n = 7) for SPE-SWV and SPE-FI-AD, respectively. The practical applicability of the proposed methods for the analysis of ground and tap water samples was confirmed via an inter-laboratory test on a tap water sample containing five common pesticides including bromofenoxim.

Automated solid-phase extraction method for the determination of piperaquine in plasma by peak compression liquid chromatography.

A validated bioanalytical method for the determination of piperaquine (PQ) in plasma by solid-phase extraction (SPE) and liquid chromatography (LC) using peak compression is presented. Protein is precipitated from plasma with acetonitrile-1% aqueous acetic acid (85:15, v/v). An internal standard (IS) is added to the samples before they are loaded onto a strong cation exchanger (Isolute PRS) SPE column. PQ and the IS are analyzed by LC on a Zorbax SB-CN column (250 x 4.0 mm) with the mobile phase acetonitrile-phosphate buffer [I = 0.1, pH 2.5 (12:88, v/v)] and UV detection at 345 nm. Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) is added to the samples prior to injection into the chromatography system. PQ elutes in a gradient of TCA, which enables peak compression of PQ and significantly higher peak efficiency as a result. The intraassay precision for plasma is determined to be 5.4% at 3.00 microM and 5.8% at 0.050 microM. The interassay precision for plasma is 1.3% at 3.00 microM and 10.0% at 0.050 microM. The lower limit of quantitation and the limit of detection are 0.025 and 0.005 microM, respectively.

Simultaneous identification of amphetamine and methamphetamine using solid-phase extraction and gas chromatography/nitrogen phosphorous detection or gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.

A method for the simultaneous detection and quantitation of amphetamine and methamphetamine in urine is described. Using solid-phase extraction, amphetamine, methamphetamine, and n-propylamphetamine (internal standard) are extracted from urine samples. Drugs in their free form are identified using gas chromatography/nitrogen-phosphorous detection (GC/NPD), whereas their heptafluorobutyric anhydride derivatives are detected by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) in the selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode. Limits of detection for both amphetamine and methamphetamine are approximately 35 ng/mL. The procedure is simple, rapid, and suitable for a large number of specimens (25 or more).

Analysis of urine for drugs of abuse using mixed-mode solid-phase extraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

A method for the simultaneous analysis of urine for the major drugs of abuse is described. The analytical procedure uses solid-phase extraction (SPE), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and a semi-automated identification process. It allows simultaneous extraction, derivatization and analysis of acidic, neutral and basic drugs from urine. Urine samples were subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis followed by SPE using Bakerbond narc-2 columns. The eluant was selectively derivatized with N-methyl-bis-trifluoroacetamide (MBTFA) and N-methyl-N-trimethylsilyltrifluoroacetamide + 1% trimethylchlorosilane. Analysis was performed using a GC-MS system operating in full scan mode. A simple macro programme was written to enhance the mass spectra identification capabilities of the MS software by producing extracted ion chromatograms (EIC) for the drugs of interest. Once a suspect compound was indicated by EIC, the mass spectrum of the compound was searched manually against reference libraries for positive identification and the retention time checked against that of the standard. This procedure has increased both the amount and the reliability of information given to clinicians without increasing the cost per sample. The system has been in routine operation for 24 months, processing up to 40 urine samples per day, with a usual turn-around time of 48 h.

Solid-phase extraction and cleanup procedures for determination of acrylamide in fried potato products by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry.

In response to recent discoveries of acrylamide in heated foods, a solid-phase extraction and cleanup protocol was developed for the determination of acrylamide in fried or baked potato samples by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS). The analyte was extracted from the matrix by using 2M NaCl, and an aliquot of the initial extract was loaded onto a reversed-phase cartridge. After the analyte was eluted from the cartridge, the eluate was cleaned up on a mixed-mode cation-exchange cartridge. The eluate was then evaporated, and the residue was reconstituted in mobile phase before LC/MS analysis. Recoveries, based on the recovery of an added internal standard, ranged from 96 to 101% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) of 5-11%. The response was linear for a concentration range of 100-2000 ng/g with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.992 (n = 25). An interday study showed good accuracy and precision of the method over a 3-day period with a recovery of 98% and an RSD of 9.5% (n = 15). The analyses of 6 potato chip samples showed concentrations of incurred acrylamide ranging from 260 to 1500 ng/g.

Specific and sensitive determination of digoxin and metabolites in human serum by high performance liquid chromatography with cyclodextrin solid-phase extraction and precolumn fluorescence derivatization.

A precolumn fluorescence derivatization high performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of digoxin and its metabolites digoxigenin bisdigitoxoside, digoxigenin monodigitoxoside digoxigenin, and dihydrodigoxin (20-R and 20-S epimers) in human serum. Digoxin and its metabolites were extracted from serum samples (containing digitoxin as internal standard) with a cyclodextrin solid-phase extraction (SPE) column. Fluorescent derivatives were formed by reaction of the analytes with 1-naphthoyl chloride in the presence of 4-dimethylaminopyridine under a nitrogen atmosphere in a glove box with controlled relative humidity (26% r.h. or less). The derivatives were isolated using cyclodextrin and C1 SPE columns sequentially, and determined by HPLC using silica column separation and fluorescence detection. Calibration curves were linear over the concentration range from 0.25 to 4.0 ng ml-1. Recoveries of digoxin and its metabolites from serum ranged from 62 to 86%, and coefficients of variation from repetitive analyses ranged from 6.9 to 20.9% and from 5.8 to 12.2% at 0.5 ng ml-1 and 2.0 ng ml-1, respectively. This method has been shown capable of specifically determining digoxin and its major metabolites in serum, and has been successfully used in the determination of digoxin and its metabolites in serum samples collected from patients undergoing digoxin therapy. This method thus permits the investigation of digoxin metabolism and pharmacokinetics after the administration of commercial dosage forms.
