Automated solid-phase extraction of opiates from urine (I).

The extraction of morphine and codeine in urine by C18 bonded-phase columns was studied using a fully automated solid-phase extraction system. Extracts of urine were analysed by a high-performance liquid chromatographic method. Recovery of the opiates depends on the urine pH, and the choice of washing solvents and eluent. Studies were carried out on the optimisation of eluent volume by establishing a recovery-time profile for the elution process. Regenerated C18 bonded-phase columns could be re-used with negligible carry-over and insignificant recovery loss. An automated extraction procedure was developed for morphine and codeine in urine with absolute recoveries exceeding 80%.

Automated solid-phase extraction and liquid chromatography for assay of cyclosporine in whole blood.

In this rapid, precise, accurate, cost-effective, automated liquid-chromatographic procedure for determining cyclosporine in whole blood, the cyclosporine is extracted from 0.5 mL of whole blood together with 300 micrograms of cyclosporin D per liter, added as internal standard, by using an Advanced Automated Sample Processing unit. The on-line solid-phase extraction is performed on an octasilane sorbent cartridge, which is interfaced with a RP-8 guard column and an octyl analytical column, packed with 5-microns packing material. Both columns are eluted with a mobile phase containing acetonitrile/methanol/water (53/20/27 by vol) at a flow rate of 1.5 mL/min and column temperature of 70 degrees C. Absolute recovery of cyclosporine exceeded 85% and the standard curve was linear to 5000 micrograms/L. Within-run and day-to-day CVs were less than 8%. Correlation between automated and manual Bond-Elut extraction methods was excellent (r = 0.987). None of 18 drugs and four steroids tested interfered.

Determination of clozapine and its major metabolites in human serum using automated solid-phase extraction and subsequent isocratic high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection.

An isocratic high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method with ultraviolet detection is described for the quantification of the atypical neuroleptic clozapine and its major metabolites, N-desmethylclozapine and clozapine N-oxide, in human serum or plasma. The method included automated solid-phase extraction on C18 reversed-phase material. Clozapine and its metabolites were separated by HPLC on a C18 ODS Hypersil analytical column (5 microns particle size; 250 mm x 4.6 mm I.D.) using an acetonitrile-water (40:60, v/v) eluent buffered with 0.4% (v/v) N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine and acetic acid to pH 6.5. Imipramine served as internal standard. After extraction of 1 ml of serum or plasma, as little as 5 ng/ml of clozapine and 10 or 20 ng/ml of the metabolites were detectable. Linearity was found for drug concentrations between 5 and 2000 ng/ml as indicated by correlation coefficients of 0.998 to 0.985. The intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation ranged between 1 and 20%. Interferences with other psychotropic drugs such as benzodiazepines, antidepressants or neuroleptics were negligible. In all samples, collected from schizophrenic patients who had been treated with daily oral doses of 75-400 mg of clozapine, the drug and its major metabolite, N-desmethylclozapine, could be detected, while the concentrations of clozapine N-oxide were below 20 ng/ml in three of sixteen patients. Using the method described here, data regarding relations between therapeutic or toxic effects and drug blood levels or metabolism may be collected in clinical practice to improve the therapeutic efficacy of clozapine drug treatment.

Using multi-walled carbon nanotubes as solid phase extraction adsorbents to determine dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane and its metabolites at trace level in water samples by high performance liquid chromatography with UV detection.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are a kind of new carbon-based nano-materials which have drawn great attention in many application fields. The potential of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) as solid-phase extraction (SPE) adsorbents for the preconcentration of environmental pollutants has been investigated in recent years. The goal of this work was to investigate the feasibility of MWNTs used as SPE adsorbents to enrich dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and its metabolites including 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis-(4'-chlorophenyl)ethane (DDD) and 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis-(4'-chlorophenyl)ethane (DDE) at trace level which are typical persistent organic pollutants in environment. Parameters that maybe influence the extraction efficiency such as the eluent volume, sample flow rate, sample pH and the sample volume were optimized in detail. The experimental results showed the excellent linear relationship between peak area and the concentration of DDT and its metabolites over the range of 0.2-60 microg L(-1), and the precisions (RSD) were 2.3-2.5% under the optimal conditions. The detection limits of proposed method could reach 4-13 ng L(-1) based on the ratio of chromatographic signal to base line noise (S/N = 3). Satisfied results were achieved when the proposed method was applied to determine the four target compounds in realworld water samples with spiked recoveries over the range of 89.7-115.5%. All these facts indicated that MWCNTs as SPE packing materials coupled to HPLC was an excellent alternative for the routine analysis of DDT and its metabolites at trace level in environment.

Less common applications of monoliths: preconcentration and solid-phase extraction.

Monolithic materials are finding their place in a variety of fields. While liquid chromatography is the most emphasized use of this new category of porous media, some other just as important applications are eclipsed by the success of monolithic columns. This review article describes all current facets of use of monoliths in preconcentration and solid-phase extraction. In addition to the typical off line use that does not seem to be the main stream application for the monolithic materials, in-line connection of the preconcentration with HPLC, electrochromatography, electrophoresis, enzymatic digestion, as well as its applications in microfluidics are presented.

Influence of Cremophor EL on the quantification of paclitaxel in plasma using high-performance liquid chromatography with solid-phase extraction as sample pretreatment.

For the quantitative determination of paclitaxel in human plasma reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) methods with solid-phase extraction (SPE) as sample pretreatment procedure are frequently used. Recovery problems arose during the quantification of paclitaxel in plasma samples of patients. The major problems were a large batch-to-batch difference in performance of the SPE columns and the effects of the pharmaceutical vehicle Cremophor EL on the performance of the SPE. Cremophor EL concentrations exceeding 1.0% (v/v) had a great impact on the absolute recovery of paclitaxel from human plasma with the SPE procedure. The recoveries decreased approximately 10 to 40% depending on the quality of the batch SPE columns. The problems are avoided by using 2'-methylpaclitaxel as the internal standard. This study points out the importance of including the effects of a pharmaceutical vehicle, like Cremophor EL, in the validation programme of a bioanalytical assay and the use of an internal standard in HPLC paclitaxel assays preceded by SPE as sample pretreatment procedure.

Liquid chromatographic determination of novel aminithiazolecarboxamide fungicide residues in soil and crops using online solid-phase extraction.

A simple and convenient liquid chromatographic method has been developed and applied to the analysis of the novel aminothiazolecarboxamide fungicide, ethaboxam, in soil and crops. After the isolation and concentration of analyte from soil and crops, clean-up and separation of sample solutions are performed by high-performance liquid chromatography with online solid-phase extraction. Good linearity (r2 > 0.9995), recovery [for soil, 95.3-98.4%, and crops (grape, red pepper), 92.9-95.9%], and repeatability are achieved in the calibration range of 0.1-10.3 microg/mL. The limit of detection is the 2.5 parts per billion (ppb) (40 g of soil) and the 20 ppb (25 g of crops), respectively. This assay method shows the suitability for the residual analysis of ethaboxam in soil and crops.

Simultaneous congener-specific determination of selected organochlorine compounds and nitro musks in human whole blood samples by solid-phase extraction and capillary gas chromatography with electron capture detection.

Chlororganic compounds like pesticides or polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and nitro musks are environmental contaminants, which remain public health concerns because of their persistence in humans and their toxicological properties. Many of these substances are associated with endocrine dysfunction or with carcinogenicity. Therefore, a simple method using solid-phase extraction followed by capillary gas chromatography with electron capture detection for the simultaneous determination of both organochlorines and nitro musks in human whole blood samples has been developed. Recovery rates of 13 PCB congeners and of 7 pesticides ranged from 67.5% to 100.4% and from 81.1% to 110.5%, respectively. Recoveries of the 5 nitro musks were consistent and ranged from 90.2% to 98.8%. The accuracy for organochlorines and nitro musks varied from 6.3% to 8.6%. Method detection limits ranged from 0.02 microg/L to 0.11 microg/L for the organochlorines and from 0.04 microg/L to 0.08 microg/L for the nitro musks. The method has a high sensitivity with a low detection limit even in slightly contaminated human blood samples. The time and technical effort is small, so the method is feasible for epidemiological studies with regard to the impact of organochlorines and nitro musks on certain diseases.

A high-performance liquid chromatographic assay for the determination of itraconazole concentration using solid-phase extraction and small sample volume.

Itraconazole has been shown to be highly effective against a broad spectrum of fungi, particularly aspergillus. In order to achieve the desired pharmacological effect, the itraconazole plasma concentration should be > 250 ng/ml. We developed a high-performance liquid chromatography assay for the rapid determination of plasma itraconazole concentration using solid-phase extraction and small sample volume. The assay possessed linearity up to 5,000 ng/ml, sensitivity of 50 ng/ml, average recovery of 100.8%, and run-to-run precision (n = 10) for concentrations of 100, 200, and 500 ng/ml of 12, 6.6, and 5.8%, respectively. Furthermore, the assay proved to be free of interference from 48 commonly prescribed and some over-the-counter medications. We conclude that the method described here is ideally suited for the therapeutic monitoring of itraconazole.

Determination of glycerolipid composition of rice and maize tissues using solid-phase extraction.

Currently available techniques for the separation and characterization of different glycerolipids are complicated and/or time consuming. By modulating the stationary phase in a solid-phase extraction (SPE) manifold, efficient and rapid separation of plant membrane lipids was achieved. The glycerolipids from rice and maize tissues were separated into seven classes (monogalactosyldiacylglycerol, digalactosyldiacylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, sulphoquinovosyldiacylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylglycerol). The pigments present in the rice and maize leaves and rice stems were successfully removed from the total lipid extracts. Pigment-free plant tissue (rice roots) was also analysed. The fatty acid profile of each lipid class isolated by SPE agreed well with those obtained by other separation techniques. The recovery of glycerolipids was at least 87%.

A validated solid-phase extraction HPLC method for the simultaneous determination of the citrus flavanone aglycones hesperetin and naringenin in urine.

A simple, specific, precise, accurate, and robust HPLC assay for the simultaneous analysis of hesperetin and naringenin in human urine was developed and validated. Urine samples were incubated with beta-glucuronidase/sulphatase and the analytes were isolated by solid-phase extraction using C18 cartridges and separated on a C8 reversed phase column using a mixture of methanol/water/acetic acid (40:58:2, v/v/v) at 45 degrees C. The method was found to be linear in the 50-1200 ng/ml concentration range for both hesperetin and naringenin (r > 0.999). The accuracy of the method was greater than 94.8%, while the intra- and inter-day precision for hesperetin was better than 4.9 and 8.2%, respectively and for naringenin was better than 5.3 and 7.8%, respectively. Recovery for hesperetin, naringenin and internal standard 7-ethoxycoumarin was greater than 70.9%. The method has been applied for the determination of hesperetin and naringenin in urine samples obtained from a male volunteer following a single 300 mg oral dose of each of the corresponding flavanone glycosides hesperidin and naringin. The intra- and inter-day reproducibility through enzyme hydrolysis was less than 3.9% for both total (free + conjugated) hesperetin and naringenin. Stability studies showed urine quality control samples to be stable for both hesperetin and naringenin through three freeze-thaw cycles and at room temperature for 24 h (error < or = 3.6%).

Sensitive method for the determination of the antiarrhythmic drug detajmium in serum by solid-phase extraction and high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorimetric detection.

The objective of this study was to develop a very sensitive and selective method for the determination of detajmium (4-3-diethylamino-2-hydroxypropyl-ajmaline), a sodium-channel-blocking drug with antiarrhythmic properties, in serum. A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method with solid-phase extraction and fluorimetric detection has been applied. Serum samples were diluted with phosphate buffer (pH 3.5) and the extraction of detajmium and ajmaline, which was used as an internal standard, was carried out with Oasis cartridges (Waters). The chromatographic separation was performed on a RP18 column. The limit of quantification for serum samples of detajmium was 1 ng/ml with good reproducibility (R.S.D. < 15%) and a linear response from 1 to 200 ng/ml. The described method is highly sensitive and specific for the determination of detajmium in serum of patients and volunteers.

Determination of fenofibric acid in human plasma using automated solid-phase extraction coupled to liquid chromatography.

The pharmacokinetic studies of fenofibrate require a rapid, selective and robust method to allow the determination of fenofibric acid, its active metabolite, in different biological matrixes (such as plasma, serum or urine). A new fully automated method for the determination of fenofibric acid in plasma has been developed, which involves the solid-phase extraction (SPE) of the analyte from plasma on disposable extraction cartridges (DECs) and reversed-phase HPLC with UV detection. The SPE operations were performed automatically by means of a sample processor equipped with a robotic arm (ASPEC system). The DEC filled with octadecyl silica was first conditioned with methanol and pH 7.4 phosphate buffer. A 0.8-ml volume of diluted plasma sample containing the internal standard (sulindac) was then applied on the DEC. The washing step was performed with the same buffer (pH 7.4). Finally, the analytes were successively eluted with methanol (1.0 ml) and 0.04 M phosphoric acid (1.0 ml). After a mixing step, 100 microl of the resultant extract was directly introduced into the HPLC system. The liquid chromatographic (LC) separation of the analytes was achieved on a Nucleosil RP-8 stationary phase (5 microm). The mobile phase consisted of a mixture of methanol and 0.04 M phosphoric acid (60:40, v/v). The analyte was monitored photometrically at 288 nm. The method developed was validated. In these conditions, the absolute recovery of fenofibric acid was close to 100% and a linear calibration curve was obtained in the concentration range from 0.25 to 20 microg/ml. The mean RSD values for repeatability and intermediate precision were 1.7 and 3.9% for fenofibric acid. The method developed was successfully used to investigate the bioequivalence between a micronized fenofibrate capsule formulation and a fenofibrate Lidose formulation.

Determination of unchanged [18F]dopamine in human and non-human primate plasma during positron emission tomography studies: a new solid-phase extraction method comparable to radio-thin-layer chromatography analysis.

Routine determination of [18F]DOPA and its metabolites in plasma is essential for assessment and quantification of presynaptic dopamine function in vivo using a modeling approach with positron emission tomography (PET). The determination of unchanged [18F]DOPA from human and non-human primate plasma using solid-phase extraction (SPE) with Sep-Pak cartridges during PET dopaminergic studies is described here. The results from the studies showed that this new approach in comparsion to a method such as thin-layer chromatography (TLC) possessed a simplicity, rapidity and accuracy as well as good correlation between the two techniques (p<0.0001). A proposed procedure involving radioanalysis on alumina plates (Al2O3) was also developed with an excellent correlation compared to the conventional C18 plates (r=0.96). Thus it could be concluded that the SPE on either C18 or alumina cartridges (Waters) compared to radio-TLC analysis on C18 and alumina systems, appears to be a useful analytical method suitable for correcting the input arterial function in routine clinical PET neurotransmission studies.

Fully automated analytical method for codeine quantification in human plasma using on-line solid-phase extraction and high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection.

A simple, sensitive and fully automated analytical method for the analysis of codeine in human plasma is presented. Samples are added with oxycodone, used as internal standard (I.S.), and directly loaded in the autosampler tray. An on-line sample clean-up system based on solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridges (Bond-Elut C2, 20 mg) and value switching (Prospekt) is used. Isocratic elution improved reproducibility and allowed the recirculation of the mobile phase. A Hypersil BDS C18, 3 microns, 10 x 0.46 cm column was used and detection was done by UV monitoring at 212 nm. Retention times of norcodeine (codeine metabolite), codeine and oxycodone (I.S.) were 5.5, 6.4 and 9.1 min, respectively. Morphine was left to elute in the chromatographic front. Detection limit for codeine was 0.5 microgram l-1 and inter-assay precision (expressed as relative standard deviation) and accuracy (expressed as relative error) measured at 2 micrograms l-1 were 5.03% and 1.82%. Calibration range was 2-140 micrograms l-1.

A selective and sensitive HPLC method was developed for the determination of U-39968E in rat plasma. The assay involved solid-phase extraction of the analyte and the internal standard and precolumn derivatization with cyclohexane-1,3-dione reagent before injection on to the HPLC column. The samples were chromatographed on a Spherisorb S5 CN column (25 cm x 4.6 mm i.d.) with a mobile phase containing acetonitrile-trifluoroacetic acid-water (17:0.2:83, v/v/v) at a flow rate of 1.5 ml min-1. The column eluent was monitored by flourescence detection with excitation at 272 nm and emission at 320 nm. The assay is linear over the range 4-759 ng ml-1. The relative standard deviation at the limit of quantification, 4 ng ml-1, was 7.1%. This method was successfully applied to the determination of U-89968E in rat plasma during pharmacokinetic studies.

Quantification of monohydroxy-PAH metabolites in urine by solid-phase extraction with isotope dilution-GC-MS.

For measurement of biomarkers from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) exposure, an analytical method is described quantifying hydroxylated PAH (OH-PAH) in urine samples. This method determined monohydroxy metabolites of naphthalene, fluorene, phenanthrene, fluoranthene, pyrene, chrysene, benzo[c]phenanthrene, and benz[a]anthracene. The sample preparation consisted of enzymatic hydrolysis, solid-phase extraction and derivatization with a silylating reagent. Five carbon-13 labeled standards were used for isotope dilution. Analytes were separated by gas chromatography (GC) and quantified with high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). This method produced good recoveries (41-70%), linearity, and specificity. Data were corrected for blank levels from the naphthalene, fluorene, and phenanthrene metabolites. Method detection limits ranged from 2 ng L(-1) for 1-hydroxypyrene to 43.5 ng L(-1) for 1-hydroxynaphthalene. Using quality control charts from two urine pools, the method can be readily applied to biomonitoring PAH exposure.
