Isolation by solid-phase extraction and liquid chromatographic determination of mutagenic amines in beef extracts.

A solid-phase extraction method was successfully optimized for the isolation and preconcentration of five mutagenic amines, 3-amino-1,4-dimethyl-5H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole, 3-amino-1-methyl-5H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole, 2-amino-9H-pyrido[2,3-b]indole, 2-amino-3-methyl-9H-pyrido[2,3-b]indole and 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenyl-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine, and two co-mutagens, 1-methyl-9H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole and 9H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole. Coupling of diatomaceous earth, propylsulphonyl silica gel, and octadecylsilane cartridges was used to separate selectively the imidazopyridine and indolpyridine derivatives from those of quinoxaline and quinoline. A method based on this sample preparation was applied to the determination of twelve heterocyclic amines and related substances in a commercial beef extract using HPLC with electrochemical and fluorescence detection. Good recovery values were obtained, ranging between 55 and 99%. The co-mutagens 1-methyl-9H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (harman) and 9H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (norharman) were found in the beef extract at levels of 110 and 53 ng g-1, respectively, and 3-amino-1-methyl-5H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (Trp-P-2) and 2-amino-9H-pyrido[2,3-b]indole (A alpha C) were tentatively identified.

Determination of the anti-platelet-activating factor BN-50727 and its metabolites in human plasma by high-performance liquid chromatography-solid-phase extraction.

A sensitive and selective HPLC-solid-phase extraction procedure was developed for the determination of platelet-activating factor antagonist BN-50727 and its metabolites in human plasma. The procedure consisted of an automated solid-phase extraction of the drug and metabolites on disposable propylcarboxylic acid cartridges, followed by on-line chromatographic separation. The method was linear from 3.75 to 2400 ng/ml and the limit of quantitation for BN-50727 in plasma samples was 3.75 ng/ml. The within-run precision of the method, expressed as relative standard deviation, ranged from 2.1 to 8.1%. The accuracy, expressed as relative error, ranged from -3.5 to 4.0%. For the main metabolite, the O-demethylated BN-50727 product, the method was linear from 7.5 to 2400 ng/ml and the limit of quantitation in plasma was 7.5 ng/ml. The within-run precision ranged from 2.1 to 11.0% and the accuracy from -5.3 to 1.1%. This paper describes the validation of the analytical methodology for the determination of BN-50727 in human plasma and also of its metabolites. The method has been used to follow the time course of BN-50727 and its metabolites in human plasma after administration of single and multiple doses.

Simultaneous determination of gentisic, salicyluric and salicylic acid in human plasma using solid-phase extraction, liquid chromatography and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.

A method is developed for the simultaneous extraction of gentisic (GA), salicyluric (SUA) and salicylic acid (SA) in human plasma from Willow Bark extract, by solid phase extraction (SPE) using Waters Oasis HLB (divinylbenzene-n-vinylpyrrolidone copolymer) cartridges. Also, a method is optimized comprising of reversed-phase (RP) high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in connection with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), fluorescence detection (FLD) and photo diode array detection (DAD) to identify and quantify GA, SUA and SA in the SPE effluents. An improved sensitivity regarding the lower detection limit (LOD) of < 7 ng/ml, the limit of quantitation (LOQ) of 20 ng/ml and short analysis times of < 15 min is required. The validated SPE method shows linearity in the range of 9.0-58.2 ng/ml for GA, 9.4-191.5 ng/ml for SUA and 12.8-1101.6 ng/ml for SA. The correlation coefficient values are > 0.9994 and 0.99 for fluorescence detection (FLD) and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), respectively. The recoveries are from 91.3-102.1% for gentisic acid (GA), 86.8-100.5% for salicyluric acid (SUA) and 75.8-81.4% for salicylic acid (SA) depending on the starting concentrations. RP-LC-ESI-MS/MS studies using collision induced dissociation (CID) confirm that the investigated analytes are not artifacts and facilitate further specific identification in addition to the determination of the parent ion mass even in the presence of co-eluting peaks. The established method is also used to analyze gentisic (GA), salicyluric (SUA) and salicylic acid (SA), not only after intake of Willow Bark capsules (Assalix, BNO 1455) but also as naturally occurring constituents in human plasma after the intake of salicylic acid containing foods.

Clean-up of triazines in vegetable extracts by molecularly-imprinted solid-phase extraction using a propazine-imprinted polymer.

An analytical methodology based on a molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction (MISPE) procedure was developed for the determination of several triazines (atrazine, simazine, desethylatrazine (DEA), desisopropylatrazine (DIA), and propazine) in vegetable samples. A methacrylic acid-based imprinted polymer was prepared by precipitation polymerisation using propazine as template and toluene as porogen. After removal of the template by Soxhlet extraction, the optimum loading, washing, and elution conditions for MISPE of the selected triazines were established. The optimised MISPE procedure was applied to the extraction of the selected triazines in pea, potato, and corn sample extracts and a high degree of clean-up was obtained. However, some remaining interferences, non-specifically and strongly bound to the polymeric matrix, appeared in the chromatogram, preventing quantification of DIA in potatoes and DIA, DEA, and propazine in corn samples. Thus, a new clean-up protocol based on the use of a non-imprinted polymer for removal of these interferences prior to the MISPE step was developed. By following the new two-step MISPE procedure, the matrix compounds were almost completely removed, allowing the determination of all the triazines selected at concentration levels below the established maximum residue limits, making the developed procedure suitable for monitoring these analytes in vegetable samples.

Double-disk solid-phase extraction: simultaneous cleanup and trace enrichment of herbicides and metabolites from environmental samples.

Phenylurea and triazine herbicides, including some metabolites, were isolated from water and soil extracts by solid-phase extraction using a layered system of two extraction disks, a method called double-disk solid-phase extraction. The first disk consisted of strong anion exchange (SAX) of 10-micron styrene divinylbenzene (SDB) particles embedded in Teflon, and the second disk was a C18 disk of 10-micron particles also embedded in Teflon. A volume of 500 mL of water or aqueous soil extract is passed through the layered system with the SAX disk first. The purpose of the SAX disk is to remove the humic and fulvic acids from the water or aqueous soil extract by ion exchange through their carboxyl groups. Even during methanol elution of herbicides, the humic substances remain bound to the SAX disk with > 85% retention. Elution with methanol results in more than 90% recovery of the herbicides from the layered extraction disks. Removal of the humic and fulvic acids results in greater sensitivity for diode array detection quantitation (0.05 micrograms/L for herbicides) by substantially reducing the absorbance of the humic peak on the LC chromatogram. The herbicides adsorb to the SAX disk either through hydrogen bonding to the anion-exchange sites or by hydrophobic interaction with the SDB surface of the anion-exchange disk. The method was tested for the analysis of natural water samples from the Mississippi Embayment, a cotton-growing area of the southeastern United States.

High-throughput analysis of everolimus (RAD001) and cyclosporin A (CsA) in whole blood by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry using a semi-automated 96-well solid-phase extraction system.

A semi-automated solid-phase extraction (SPE) liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) procedure was validated for the simultaneous determination of everolimus (RAD001) and cyclosporin A (CsA) in human blood. Whole blood samples (350microL) were pretreated with acetonitrile/zinc sulfate mixture to precipitate the sample proteins. The samples were centrifuged and the resulting supernatants were manually transferred to a 96-well plate format. All subsequent sample transfer and solid phase extraction was automated using a Tomtec Quadra 96 workstation. Samples were analyzed by LC/MS using an atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APcI) interface. In order to enhance sensitivity, the MS method used negative ion mode for RAD001 ([M]-) and its internal standard and positive ion mode for CsA ([M + H]+) and its internal standard. The lower limit of quantitation was 0.375 ng.ml(-1) for RAD001 and 6.95 ng.ml(-1) for CsA. The reproducibility of the method was evaluated by analyzing six replicates at five or more quality control (QC) levels over the nominal concentration range 0.375 to 253 ng.ml(-1) for RAD001 and 6.95 to 1,530 ng.ml(-1) for CsA. The inter- and intra-day accuracy was found to range from 89.7 to 114% with precision (% CV) of less than 12% for both compounds. The sensitivity, small sample volume needed and high sample throughput of this method make it an attractive option for pharmacokinetic studies in pediatric patients.

A solid phase extraction technique for the isolation and identification of opiates in urine.

A quantitative method was developed for the simultaneous analysis of morphine, codeine, hydromorphone, hydrocodone, and oxycodone in urine by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Samples were hydrolyzed with beta-glucuronidase and then extracted by solid phase extraction on Bond Elute Certify cartridges at pH 6.8. Nalorphine was used as the internal standard. The opiates were analyzed by full-scan electron impact GC/MS after derivatization with acetic anhydride-pyridine. The standard curves for all five drugs were linear between 50 and 1000 ng/mL, with correlation coefficients exceeding 0.99. Coefficients of variation were less than 7%. The method was applied to the analysis of postmortem urines positive by EMIT opiate assay, and the effect of the hydrolysis procedure on recovery of each drug was measured. The results indicate that the hydrolysis procedure is effective in increasing the recovery of all five drugs from urine. The described method enables the laboratory to identify the five opiates most commonly encountered in forensic and clinical laboratories. Its sensitivity for all five drugs is well below GC/MS cutoffs for codeine and morphine employed in NIDA laboratories, and it provides for conclusive full-scan drug identification.

Determination of nicotine and cotinine in tobacco harvesters' urine by solid-phase extraction and liquid chromatography.

A solid-phase extraction method using Drug Test-1 column containing chemically modified silica as a solid support for sample clean up and reversed phase ion-paired high-pressure liquid chromatography method have been developed for the simultaneous determination of nicotine and its metabolite cotinine from the urine samples. Mobile phase was consisted of acetate buffer (containing 0.03 M sodium acetate and 0.1 M acetic acid) pH 3.1 and acetonitrile (78:22% (v/v)) containing 0.02 M sodium octanosulfonate as an ion pair agent. pH of the mobile phase was adjusted to 3.6 with triethylamine for better resolution and to prevent peak tailing. The linearity was obtained in the range of 0.5-10 microg/ml concentrations of nicotine and cotinine standards. The correlation coefficients were 0.998 for cotinine and 0.999 for nicotine. The recoveries were obtained in the range of 79-97% with average value of 85% for nicotine and in the range of 82-98% with average value of 88% for cotinine. The limit of detection was 2 ng/ml for cotinine and 5 ng/ml for nicotine with 2 ml urine for extraction, calculated by taking signal to noise ratio 10:3. The intra-day co-efficient of variation (CV) were <4 and 7% and inter-day CV were <9 and 7% for nicotine and cotinine, respectively. The method was applied to the urine samples of tobacco harvesters, who suffer from green tobacco sickness (GTS) to check the absorption of nicotine through dermal route during the various processes of tobacco cultivation due to its good reproducibility and sensitivity.

Multiresidue method for determination of 35 pesticides in virgin olive oil by using liquid-liquid extraction techniques coupled with solid-phase extraction clean up and gas chromatography with nitrogen phosphorus detection and electron capture detection.

A method for the multiresidue determination of 35 pesticides (30 insecticides and five herbicides) in olive oil by gas chromatography (GC) is described. Three liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) procedures based on (i) partition of pesticides between acetonitrile (ACN) and oil solution in n-hexane, (ii) partition of pesticides between saturated ACN with n-hexane and oil solution in n-hexane saturated with ACN, and (iii) partition of pesticides between ACN and oil were tested for the optimization of the highest pesticide recoveries with the lowest oil residue in the final extracts. Experimental tests were preformed in order to study the efficiency of different clean up procedures with N-Alumina, Florisil, C18, and ENVI-Carb solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridges for the compounds analyzed by GC-nitrogen phosphorus detection. A second step of clean up was also performed for the compounds analyzed by GC-electron capture detection (ECD), by using phenyl-bonded silica (Ph), diol-bonded silica (Diol), cyanopropyl-bonded silica (CN), and amino propyl-bonded silica (NH2) SPE cartridges. LLE of the oil solution in hexane with ACN followed by an ENVI-Carb SPE clean up of the extract gave the best results for all target compounds. The ACN extract was additionally cleaned through a Diol-SPE cartridge for the determination of pesticides analyzed mainly by GC-ECD. Pesticide recoveries form virgin olive oil spiked with 20, 100, and 500 microg/kg concentrations of pesticides ranged from 70.9 to 107.4%. The proposed method featured good sensitivity, pesticide quantification limits were low enough, and the precision, expressed as relative standard deviation, ranged from 2.4 to 12.0%. The proposed method was applied successfully for the residue determination of the selected pesticides in commercial olive oil samples.

Automating solid-phase extraction: current aspects and future prospects.

This paper reviews current trends and techniques in automated solid-phase extraction. The area has shown a dramatic growth the number of manuscripts published over the last 10 years, including applications in environmental science, food science, clinical chemistry, pharmaceutical bioanalysis, forensics, analytical biochemistry and organic synthesis. This dramatic increase of more that 100% per year can be attributed to the commercial availability of higher throughput 96-well workstations and extraction plates that allow numerous samples to be processed simultaneously. These so-called parallel-processing workstations represent the highest throughput systems currently available. The advantages and limitations of other types of systems, including discrete column systems and on-line solid-phase extraction are also discussed. Discussions of how automated solid-phase extractions can be developed, generic approaches to automated solid-phase extraction, and three noteworthy examples of automated extractions are given. The last part of the review suggests possible near- and long-term directions of automated solid-phase extraction.

Application of ceramic carbon materials for solid-phase extraction of organic compounds.

Ceramic carbon materials were developed as new sorbents for solid-phase extraction of organic compounds using chlorpromazine as a representative. The macroporosity and heterogeneity of ceramic carbon materials allow extracting a large amount of chlorpromazine over a short time. Thus, the highly sensitive and selective determination of chlorpromazine in urine sample was achieved by differential pulse voltammograms after only 1-min extraction. The total analysis time was less than 3 min. In comparison with other electrochemical and electrochemiluminescent methods following 1-min extraction, the proposed method improved sensitivity by about 2 and 1 order of magnitude, respectively. The fast extraction, diversity, and conductivity of ceramic carbon materials make them promising sorbents for various solid-phase extractions, such as solid-phase microextraction, thin-film microextraction, and electrochemically controlled solid-phase extraction. The preliminary applications of ceramic carbon materials in chromatography were also studied.

Preconcentration and determination of cadmium by GFAAS after solid-phase extraction with synthetic zeolite.

The solid-phase extraction (SPE) method for the preconcentration of trace amounts of cadmium using synthetic zeolite A-4 and its determination by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS) was investigated. The preconcentration conditions, such as the optimum pH range of the sample solution for the adsorption of cadmium and the kind of acid solution for dissolving the cadmium-adsorbed synthetic zeolite A-4, as well as the measurement conditions for the determination of cadmium by GFAAS, e.g., the ashing and atomizing temperature, were investigated. Quantitative recovery of cadmium onto zeolite A-4 from the sample solution over the pH range 2.0 - 9.0 was achieved by the batch method. After the solid-phase (cadmium-adsorbed zeolite A-4) was separated from the sample solution by a membrane filter, it was dissolved in 2.0 cm(3) of 2.0 mol dm(-3) nitric acid. An aliquot of the resulting solution was injected into the graphite furnace. In GFAAS measurements an alternate gas (Ar, 90%; O(2), 10%) was used as a sheath gas, and the ashing temperature and atomizing temperature were 400 degrees C and 1600 degrees C, respectively. The detection limit (3 sigma) for cadmium was 0.002 microg dm(-3). The relative standard deviation at 0.010 microg dm(-3) was 3.5 - 4.5% (n = 5). The proposed method has been successfully applied to the analysis of trace cadmium in environmental water samples.

Analysis of pharmaceutical creams: a useful approach based on solid-phase extraction (SPE) and UV spectrophotometry.

Solid-phase extraction (SPE) using C-18, diol and ion-exchange sorbents followed by UV spectrophotometric (conventional and derivative mode) assay was applied to the analysis of basic, acidic and neutral drugs commercially available in creams. A representative set of drugs (promethazine, chlorhexidine, benzydamine, ketoprofen, ibuprofen, fentiazac, piroxicam, fluorouracil, crotamiton and hydrocortisone acetate) was selected, and for each drug the appropriate SPE conditions (adsorption, washing and elution) were investigated to obtain a practical and reliable sample clean-up. It was shown that the developed SPE procedures were capable of removing interfering cream components (excipients including preservatives) allowing accurate spectrophotometric analyses to be performed. In some applications, derivative spectrophotometry was advantageous over the conventional absorption mode with respect to higher selectivity and versatility.

Analysis of cytokinin nucleotides in coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) water using capillary zone electrophoresis-tandem mass spectrometry after solid-phase extraction.

A method based on solid-phase extraction (SPE) and capillary zone electrophoresis-tandem mass spectrometry (CZE-MS/MS) is described for the separation and determination of six cytokinin nucleotides in coconut water. The best CZE separation for the six cytokinin nucleotide standards was achieved using a 25 mM ammonium formate/formic acid buffer (pH 3.8) and 2% (v/v) methanol with an applied gradient separation voltage (25 kV for 32 min, and then a linear gradient to 30 kV in 5 min, finally 30 kV to the end of separation) in less than 60 min. MS/MS with multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) detection was carried out to obtain sufficient selectivity and sensitivity for the cytokinin nucleotides. The combined use of on-line sample stacking and CZE-MS/MS achieved limits of detection (LODs) in the range of 0.06-0.19 microM for the six cytokinin nucleotides at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. Furthermore, a novel dual-step SPE procedure was developed for the pre-concentration and purification of cytokinin nucleotides using Oasis HLB and Oasis MAX cartridges. The recoveries of the cytokinin nucleotides after the dual-step SPE were in the range of 44-71%. The combination of off-line SPE, on-line sample stacking and CZE-MS/MS approach was successfully applied to screen for endogenous cytokinin nucleotides present in coconut water sample. trans-Zeatin riboside-5'-monophosphate (ZMP) was detected and quantified in coconut water by CZE-MS/MS after SPE and on-line sample stacking.

Synthesis of a molecularly imprinted polymer for the selective solid-phase extraction of chloramphenicol from honey.

Solid-phase extraction (SPE) with a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) as sorbent has been investigated for the clean-up of the broad-spectrum bacteriostatic antibiotic chloramphenicol (CAP) in honey samples. The MIP was prepared by using methacrylic acid (MAA) as functional monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDMA) as cross-linker, chloroform as porogen and CAP as template molecule. The binding behaviour of the template CAP on the MIP was evaluated by high-performance liquid chromatography, and then the MIP was applied as a sorbent in SPE to selectively extract CAP from honey. It was shown that recoveries of nearly 100% of a CAP standard solution and up to 94% from spiked honey samples could be obtained after SPE.
