Assay and single dose pharmacokinetics of a novel systemic acyl coenzyme A cholesterol O-acyltransferase inhibitor, RP 73163, in rat plasma using automated solid-phase extraction with high-performance liquid chromatography.

RP 73163, (S)-2-[5-(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)pent-1-yl]sulphinyl-4,5 diphenylimidazole (I), is a highly potent in vitro and in vivo inhibitor of acyl coenzyme A cholesterol O-acyltransferase (ACAT) (E.C. 2.3.1.26), and as such it has potential therapeutic use as a cholesterol lowering agent in man. A method has been developed for the extraction and assay of I from rat plasma, using a fully automated solid-phase extraction column (ASPEC) technique, coupled to a reversed-phase HPLC system with detection by native fluorescence. The method has been validated over the concentration range 10-500 ng/ml, with demonstrated linearity, precision and accuracy, the mean limit of detection being 6.6 +/- 1.3 ng/ml. Application of the method to the assay of samples following administration of the compound to male and female rats is reported, together with determined pharmacokinetic parameters.

Simultaneous detection of cocaine and heroin metabolites in urine by solid-phase extraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

The present paper reports a method for the simultaneous extraction of cocaine, heroin and their metabolites from small amounts of urine (0.5 ml), using deuterated internal standards. Solid-phase extraction (SPE) on C18 columns followed by chromatographic separation coupled with mass spectrometry allowed the detection of all the substances after their derivatization. Mass spectrometry was performed in the electron-impact selected-ion monitoring (EI-SIM) mode. The limit of detection was found to be as low as 50 ng/ml for all the analytes; for reproducibility the C.V. was always better than 7%; the method was found to be linear with correlation coefficients between 0.989 and 1.00.

Separation of "light fluorous" reagents and catalysts by fluorous solid-phase extraction: synthesis and study of a family of triarylphosphines bearing linear and branched fluorous tags.

Practical syntheses of new triarylphosphines bearing both linear and branched fluorous tags (Rf) are reported. The phosphines have one, two, or all three aryl rings bearing fluorous tags: (Ph)(3)(-)(n)()P(C(6)H(4)(CH(2))(m)()Rf)(n)(). Fluorous-organic partition coefficients have been measured and the retention properties of both the phosphines and the derived phosphine oxides on fluorous reverse phase silica have been studied. While applications relying on liquid-liquid extractive separations of these phosphines may be limited to those bearing three fluorous chains, the technique of solid phase extraction should be broadly applicable to phosphines, phosphine oxides, and derived metal complexes. A parallel platinum-catalyzed allylation of aldehydes with fluorous allyl stannanes illustrates the usefulness of the new fluorous ligands in small-scale synthesis.

Quantitative determination of piritramide in human plasma and urine by off- and on-line solid-phase extraction liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry.

A method for the liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometric (LC/MS/MS) quantification of piritramide, a synthetic opioid, in plasma after conventional off-line solid-phase extraction (SPE) and in urine by on-line SPE-LC/MS/MS in positive electrospray mode was developed and validated. Applicability of the on-line approach for plasma samples was also tested. Deuterated piritramide served as internal standard. For the off-line SPE plasma method mixed cation-exchange SPE cartridges and a 150 x 2 mm C18 column with isocratic elution were used. For the on-line SPE method, a Waters Oasis HLB extraction column and the same C18 analytical column in a column-switching set-up with gradient elution were utilized. All assays were linear within a range of 0.5-100 ng/mL with a limit of detection of 0.05 ng/mL. The intra- and interday coefficients of variance ranged from 1.3 to 6.1% for plasma and 0.5 to 6.4% for urine, respectively. The extraction recovery for the off-line plasma assay was between 90.7 and 100.0%. Influence of matrix effects, and freeze/thaw and long-term stability were validated for both approaches; influence of urine pH additionally for quantification in urine.

Determination of a flame retardant hydrolysis product in human urine by SPE and LC-MS. Comparison of molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction with a mixed-mode anion exchanger.

Diphenyl phosphate is a hydrolysis product and possible metabolite of the flame retardant and plasticiser additive triphenyl phosphate. A molecularly imprinted polymer solid-phase extraction (MISPE) method for extracting diphenyl phosphate from aqueous solutions has been developed and compared with SPE using a commercially available mixed-mode anion exchanger. The imprinted polymer was prepared using 2-vinylpyridine (2-Vpy) as the functional monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as the cross-linker, and a structural analogue of the analyte as the template molecule. The imprinted polymer was evaluated for use as a SPE sorbent, in tests with both aqueous standards and spiked urine samples, by comparing recovery and breakthrough data obtained using the imprinted form of the polymer and a non-imprinted form (NIP). Extraction from aqueous solutions resulted in more than 80% recovery. Adsorption by the molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was non-selective, but selectivity was achieved by selective desorption in the wash steps. Diphenyl phosphate could also be selectively extracted from urine samples, although the urine matrix reduced the capacity of the MISPE cartridges. Recoveries from urine extraction were higher than 70%. It was important to control pH during sample loading. The MISPE method was found to yield a less complex LC-ESI-MS chromatogram of the urine extracts compared with the mixed-mode anion-exchanger method. An LC-ESI-MS method using a Hypercarb LC column with a graphitised carbon stationary phase was also evaluated for organophosphate diesters. LC-ESI-MS using negative-ion detection in selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode was shown to be linear for diphenyl phosphate in the range 0.08-20 ng microL(-1).

Automatic solid-phase extraction and high-performance liquid chromatographic determination of quinidine in plasma.

High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used for the therapeutic drug monitoring of quinidine in clinical samples. Solid-phase extraction (SPE) was studied in both off-line and on-line modes. SPE was performed in an automatic on-line mode using a fully automated Prospekt system. Extraction recoveries were in the range 97.1-99.4% for 1-2 micrograms/ml quinidine concentrations. For HPLC separation an Ultrasep RP-8 reversed-phase column was applied with acetonitrile-water (9:1) containing 0.3% triethylamine (pH 2.5) as the mobile phase. The Prospekt system is recommended for the routine monitoring of quinidine in plasma samples. Concentrations were in therapeutic range (1.2-3.6 micrograms/ml).

Simple and rapid analysis of lamotrigine, a novel antiepileptic, in human serum by high-performance liquid chromatography using a solid-phase extraction technique.

A simple and rapid method for the quantitation of concentrations of lamotrigine, a novel antiepileptic, in human serum was developed with high-performance liquid chromatography, using a solid-phase extraction technique. The mobile phase was composed of acetonitrile-10 mM phosphate buffer (pH 3.5) containing 5 mM sodium octanesulphonate (27:73, v/v), and components were detected at 265 nm. Retention times of acetanilide as an internal standard and lamotrigine were 3.4 and 10.3 min, respectively. The coefficients of variation were 3.1-4.5% and 4.4-9.8% for the within-day and between-day precision estimates, respectively. The extraction recovery of lamotrigine added to blank serum was 86-107%. The quantitation limit of lamotrigine was ca. 0.2 microgram/ml in 100 microliters of serum. These results suggest that the method employed in this study is useful for the routine monitoring of serum concentrations of lamotrigine in epileptic patients.

High-performance liquid chromatographic determination of pesticides in tomatoes using laboratory-made NH2 and C18 solid-phase extraction materials.

A method for high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) multiresidue determination of six pesticides in tomatoes was developed and validated. Silica-based C18 (octadecyl) and NH2 (aminopropyl) solid-phase extraction (SPE) sorbents, made in our laboratory, were used for sample preparation. The SPE materials were obtained by thermal immobilization of appropriate polysiloxanes onto 40 microm silica surfaces and were used in sample preparation for multiresidue analysis of the following pesticides: tebuthiuron and diuron (urea herbicides), simazine, atrazine and ametryn (triazines herbicides) and benomyl (benzimidazol fungicide). The results were compared with similar commercial materials. Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) using a Purospher RP-18 5 microm column and ACN: 0.01% aqueous NH4OH, pH 8.4 (35:65, v/v) as mobile phase, at 0.7 mlmin(-1), with 235 nm UV detection, was used for separation and quantification of the pesticides. Method validation was performed at three fortification levels (100, 200, 1000 microg l(-1)). Limits of detection and quantification show that the methods developed can be used to detect the pesticides in concentrations below the maximum residue levels (MRL) established by the Codex Alimentarius, USA, European Union and Brazilian legislations. The results showed that aminopropyl materials have a better performance than the octadecyl sorbents. Laboratory-made materials give results similar to commercial sorbents, with recoveries and precisions in agreement with directives for method validation in residue analysis.

Determination of benzylsuccinic acid in gasoline-contaminated groundwater by solid-phase extraction coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Benzylsuccinic acid (BSA) and methylbenzylsuccinic acid (methyl-BSA) are unambiguous biotransformation products resulting from anaerobic toluene and xylene biodegradation, respectively. A solid-phase extraction method based on polystyrene-divinylbenzene sorbent was developed for the quantitative BSA determination in groundwater samples as an alternative to liquid-liquid extraction. Gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry was used for separation and detection. The recovery from spiked 11 groundwater samples was 88 to 100%. The precision of the method, indicated by the relative standard deviation, was +/- 4% and the method detection limit was 0.2 microg/l. The concentration of BSA and methyl-BSA in groundwater samples from anaerobic BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes)-contaminated sites ranged from below the detection limit (3 microg/l) to 155 microg/l.

Capillary electrophoresis with amperometric detection of curcumin in Chinese herbal medicine pretreated by solid-phase extraction.

In the present study, curcumin from Chinese herbal medicine turmeric was determined by capillary electrophoresis with amperometric detection (CE-AD) pretreated by a self-designed, simple, inexpensive solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridge based on the material of tributyl phosphate resin. An average concentration factor of 9 with the recovery of > 80% was achieved when applied to the analysis of curcumin in extracts of tumeric. Under the optimized CE-AD conditions: a running buffer composed of 15 mM phosphate buffer at a pH 9.7, separation voltage at 16 kV, injection for 6 s at 9 kV and detection at 1.20 V, CE-AD with SPE exhibited low detection limit as 3 x 10(-8) mol/l (S/N = 3), high efficiency of 1.0 x 10(5) N, linear range of 7 x 10(-4) -3 x 10(-6) mol/l (r = 0.9986) for curcumin extracted from light petroleum. The method developed resulted in enhancement of the detection sensitivity and reduction of interference from sample matrix in complicated samples and exhibited the potential application for routine analysis, especially in food, because a relatively complete process of sample treatment and analysis was described.

New chemically modified polymeric resin for solid-phase extraction of pesticides and phenolic compounds from water.

A new chemically modified polymeric resin, with an o-carboxybenzoyl moiety, is developed to be used in the on-line solid-phase extraction (SPE) of some pesticides and phenolic compounds from aqueous samples, in order to obtain better breakthrough volumes than other commercial sorbents. The chemical introduction of this moiety improves the efficiency of SPE by providing better surface contact with aqueous samples. This synthesized sorbent enables higher volumes of sample to be concentrated for determining polar compounds. When analyzing real samples, tap and river waters, different quantities of sulphite were added to decrease the initial band due to fulvic and humic acids. The matrix peaks decreased and there were no losses in the studied compounds observed when 500 and 1000 microliters of 10% Na2SO3 solution for every 100 ml of sample were added to tap and river water, respectively.

Determination of pectenotoxin-2 after solid-phase extraction from seawater and from the dinoflagellate Dinophysis fortii by liquid chromatography with electrospray mass spectrometry and ultraviolet detection. Evidence of oxidation of pectenotoxin-2 to pectenotoxin-6 in scallops.

Solid-phase extraction of pectenotoxin-2 (PTX2) and pectenotoxin-6 (PTX6) from seawater samples using a nonpolar cartridge column Sep-Pak C18 was investigated for determination of PTXs in toxic phytoplankton. PTX2 and PTX6 were almost completely recovered from the seawater samples. Determinations of PTX2 from the toxic phytoplankton and scallops were carried out by liquid chromatography (LC) on UV trace equipped with an atmospheric pressure electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). PTX2 obtained from the toxic phytoplankton and scallops yielded a mass spectra exhibiting abundant [M+H]+, [M+NH4]+ and [M+Na]+ indicating that ESI-MS is useful for the identification of PTX2. Determinations of PTX6 from the toxic phytoplankton and scallops were carried out by LC fluorescence detection. A significantly higher content of PTX6 compared to PTX2 in scallops was observed, suggesting that a transformation of PTX2 to PTX6 in tissues of the scallops occurs rapidly.

A sensitive and selective method for the determination of cefuroxime in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV detection at 280 nm after solid-phase extraction with C18 cartridges was developed. A Waters symmetry C18 column was used and the mobile phase was acetonitrile-0.05 M ammonium phosphate buffer (pH 3.2) (15:85, v/v). The method enabled the determination of cefuroxime at concentrations below 100 ng/ml, with a linear calibration curve at concentrations of 5-100 ng/ml for 400 microliters of BAL. The intra- and inter-assay coefficient of variations for 10, 40 and 80 ng/ml were between 5.3 and 8.9%. Analytical recoveries were between 92.7 and 106.2%. The detection limit was 1 ng/ml at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3:1 using 400 microliters of BAL. The method was successfully used for the analysis of BAL fluid from patients after oral administration of 500 mg cefuroxime axetil twice daily.

Determination of strychnine in human blood using solid-phase extraction and GC-EI-MS.

A rapid, simple, and sensitive method has been developed for the identification and quantitation of strychnine in human blood. The sample cleanup procedure involved solid-phase extraction with Oasis(R) HLB cartridges. The extracts were analyzed by gas chromatography-electron impact ionization-mass spectrometry. Limits of detection (LOD) and quantitation (LOQ) were 0.03 and 0.10 microg/mL, respectively, and the method was found to be linear between the LOQ and 2.5 microg/mL, with a correlation coefficient of 0.9994. Intra- and interday precision and accuracy were determined at both low and high concentrations (0.50 and 2.00 microg/mL). The CVs ranged from 5.63 to 8.50% and bias was within +/- 10% of the true value. Mean recovery of strychnine was 90.7%. Because of its simplicity and speed, the described method can be applied in forensic toxicology laboratories to determine this alkaloid in whole blood samples. Also, the fact that only 0.5 mL of blood is required to accomplish the analysis make this procedure useful in situations where several exams are needed and the sample volume is limited.

Simultaneous assessment of lipid classes and bile acids in human intestinal fluid by solid-phase extraction and HPLC methods.

The purpose of the study reported here was to develop a method for the determination of lipid classes in intestinal fluids, including bile acids (BAs). A solid-phase extraction (SPE) method using C18 and silica columns for the separation of BAs, phospholipids (PLs), and neutral lipids (NLs), including free fatty acids, has been developed and validated. Fed-state small intestinal fluid collected from humans was treated with orlistat to inhibit lipolysis and mixed with acetic acid and methanol before SPE to maximize lipid recoveries. BAs, PLs, and NLs were isolated using lipophilic and polar solvents to promote elution from the SPE columns. The different lipid classes were subsequently analyzed using three separately optimized HPLC methods with evaporative light-scattering detectors. High recoveries (>90%) of all lipids evaluated were observed, with low coefficients of variation (<5%). The HPLC methods developed were highly reproducible and allowed baseline separation of nearly all lipid classes investigated. In conclusion, these methods provide a means of lipid class analysis of NLs, PLs, and BAs in human fed-state small intestinal fluid, with potential use in other fluids from the intestinal tract and animals.

Evaluation of beta-cyclodextrin bonded silica as a selective sorbent for the solid-phase extraction of 4-nitrophenol and 2,4-dinitrophenol.

A beta-cyclodextrin bonded silica was synthesized by using a convenient method, and was evaluated as a selective sorbent for the solid-phase extraction of 4-nitrophenol and 2,4-dinitrophenol. When double-distilled water was used as the sample matrix, the sorbent showed a strong capacity to adsorb 4-nitrophenol and 2,4-dinitrophenol; the recoveries were found to be 96% and 99%, respectively, with a 1 L water sample. The selectivity of the sorbent was investigated by using a washing step with methanol. Most of the phenols were washed out with 5 mL of methanol, while 4-nitrophenol and 2,4-dinitrophenol still gave recoveries of 94% and 90%. The solution for efficiently eluting the analytes was optimized and the effect of the inorganic salt on the extraction was examined. In order to investigate the potentiality of the sorbent in dealing with real water samples, water from Donghu lake (Wuhan, China) spiked with nine phenolic compounds at microgram per liter levels were preconcentrated on this cartridge.
