Quantitation of spectinomycin residues in bovine tissues by ion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography with post-column derivatization and confirmation by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization tandem mass spectrometry.

Determinative and confirmatory methods of analysis for spectinomycin residue in bovine kidney, liver, muscle and fat have been developed. The determinative method is a single-column HPLC ion-exchange procedure that incorporates a two-step post-column oxidation of the secondary amines to primary amines followed by derivatization with o-phthalaldehyde. The method was validated in all tissues to a low-end concentration of 0.10 micrograms/g (limit of quantitation) and to a high-end of 10 micrograms/g for kidney, which is the rate-limiting tissue for residues of spectinomycin. The recovery of spectinomycin from all tissues was > 80% and the variability (R.S.D.) was generally < 10%. For liver, an alternative reversed-phase HPLC separation was required for incurred-residue samples. The confirmatory method employed an atmospheric pressure chemical ionization-MS-MS approach utilizing a rapid reversed-phase HPLC system with a mobile phase of methanol and 1% acetic acid. The protonated molecular ion for spectinomycin at m/z 333 produced four diagnostic reaction-product ions at 98, 116, 158 and 189 for confirmation. The method was validated to a lower limit of confirmation of 0.10 micrograms/g.

Development of an on-line coupling of liquid-liquid extraction, normal-phase liquid chromatography and high-resolution gas chromatography producing an analytical marker for the prediction of mutagenicity and carcinogenicity of bitumen and bitumen fumes.

A fast and fully automated system for the determination of polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) is described. The system has been developed to produce an analytical 'marker', correlating chemical characteristics (including PAC analysis) with mutagenicity and carcinogenicity. The products of interest are bitumen fumes, bitumen and other (heavy or even residual) oil products, regardless of their boiling range. Dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) extractables obtained from a flow-injection analysis (FIA) system are introduced on-line in a normal-phase liquid chromatographic (NPLC) system. Here, the PACs are separated from the DMSO and possible co-extracted heavy residual species. The final step incorporates on-line gas chromatographic analysis of the three-to-six-ring PAC fraction, followed by flame-ionisation detection for quantification. It was demonstrated that data obtained from samples in the distillate lubrication-oil range correlate well with data obtained from the manual DMSO-extraction method standardised by the Institute of Petroleum as IP346.

Detection of oxilofrine in plasma and urine by high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection and comparison with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

A high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method with electrochemical detection for the determination of oxilofrine [1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-methylaminopropanol] in human plasma and urine (before and after cleavage of the metabolic conjugates) is described. Isolation from biological fluids is performed batchwise by weak acid cation exchange. Separation of plasma and urine components is achieved on a reversed-phase C18 column as an ion pair with heptanesulphonic acid. For amperometric detection the potential of the electrode was set at 0.95 V versus an Ag/AgCl reference electrode. The detection limit for oxilofrine in plasma is 1 ng/ml and in urine 12.5 ng/ml at a signal-to-noise ratio of 2.0 using 1.0 ml of plasma and 0.02 ml of urine. The method was compared with a gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric method and showed a good concordance for plasma (r = 0.996) and urine (r = 0.994). With the HPLC method it is also possible to determine related sympathomimetic drugs, e.g., etilefrine, norefenefrine or octopamine, after a slight modification of the mobile phase.

Determination of a pyrimido-benzazepine anxiolytic agent and its 5-hydroxy metabolite in whole blood, plasma and urine by gas--liquid chromatography with electron-capture detection and by high-performance liquid chromatography.

Electron-capture gas--liquid chromatographic and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic assays are described for the quantitation of the compound, 9-chloro-7-(2-chlorophenyl)-5H-pyrimido [5,4-d] [2]-benzazepine, [I], a member of the benzazepine class of compounds undergoing clinical evaluation as anxiolytic agents. Studies on the biotransformation of [I] in the rat and dog showed that the compound was metabolized mainly by hydroxylation to yield the 5-hydroxy compound, [II], 9-chloro-7-(2-chlorophenyl)-5H-pyrimido [5,4-d] [2]-benzazepin-5-ol (major metabolite), along with the formation of lesser amounts of the N-oxide, [III], 9-chloro-7-(2-chlorophenyl)-5H-pyrimido [5,4-d] [2]-benzazepine 3-oxide, and the phenolic analogue, [IV], 3-chloro-4-(9-chloro-5H pyrimido-[5,4-d] [2] benzazepin-7-yl)phenol. This report describes the quantitation of [I] and [II] (major metabolite) in plasma using the above analytical techniques, both in preclinical studies in the dog and in clinical pharmacokinetic studies in man.

Determination of cianopramine in human plasma by high-performance liquid chromatography and gas-liquid chromatography with ultraviolet, fluorescence and electron-capture detection.

New high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) and gas-liquid chromatographic (GLC) methods for the measurement of the antidepressant cianopramine in human plasma are compared for precision, accuracy, selectivity, sensitivity and convenience. Important differences were found with regard to precision, selectivity and sensitivity when ultraviolet, fluorescence and electron-capture detection were used. The mean coefficients of variation for intra-assay variability of cianopramine were 1.0% (HPLC-UV), 1.5% (HPLC-fluorescence) and 5.3% (GLC) over the concentration range studied. The results obtained support the selection of HPLC as the method of choice for the analysis of cianopramine in plasma, based mainly on its merits of sensitivity and convenience, despite the enhanced selectivity of the GLC method.
