Quantitative retention- and migration-toxicity relationships of phenoxy acid herbicides in micellar liquid chromatography and micellar electrokinetic…
2001
Abstract The need to obtain a tool for estimation of toxicity parameters for chemicals supports, the postulation of predictive models as an alternative to conventional classical assays. The use of micellar solutions of Brij35 as mobile phases in reversed phase liquid chromatography has proven to be valid in predicting some biological activities of different kinds of drugs. In this paper, the correlations between retention of phenoxy acids using different concentrations of Brij35 as micellar mobile phase in micellar liquid chromatography (MLC) and migration in micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) with several toxicity parameters are studied. Adequate correlations retention- and migr…
Electrokinetic capillary chromatography in a polar continuous‐phase water‐in‐oil microemulsion constituted by water, sodium dodecyl sulfate, and n ‐p…
2005
A water-in-oil (w/o) microemulsion (ME) constituted by 15% Tris buffer, pH 8.4, in water and 85% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)/n-pentanol 1:4 mixture, capable of dissolving up to 30% vegetable oils and lard, was used as background electrolyte in reverse microemulsion electrokinetic capillary chromatography (RMEEKC). Owing to the free SDS ions in the continuous phase and some degree of percolation, the ME showed a high conductivity (0.65 mS. cm(-1) at 25 degrees C) and sustained a very stable capillary current. Previous rinsing of the capillary with a quaternary ammonium salt for electroosmotic flow (EOF) reduction, a series of nonionic and anionic solutes dissolved either in the ME or in fat…
Furosemide assay in pharmaceuticals by Micellar liquid chromatography: study of the stability of the drug.
2000
A simplified high-performance liquid chromatographic procedure is described for the determination of furosemide (4-chloro-N-furfuryl-5-sulphamoylanthranillic acid), which makes use of UV detection, a C18, reversed-phase column, and micellar mobile phases of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and 1-propanol at pH 3 buffered with phosphate system. The most adequate experimental conditions to handle furosemide solutions in the analytical laboratory are studied. The mixture of furosemide and its degradation products which are formed upon light exposition was resolved with a mobile phase of 0.04 M SDS-2% propanol. Separation of furosemide from its common impurities and the hydrolytic product, 4-chlor…
Evaluation of enantioselective binding of propanocaine to human serum albumin by ultrafiltration and electrokinetic chromatography under intermediate…
2011
Abstract Stereoselectivity in protein binding can have a significant effect on the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of chiral drugs. In this paper, the enantioselective binding of propanocaine (PRO) enantiomers to human serum albumin (HSA), the most relevant plasmatic protein in view of stereoselectivity, has been evaluated by incubation and ultrafiltration of racemic PRO–HSA mixtures and chiral analysis of the bound and unbound fractions by electrokinetic chromatography using HSA as chiral selector. Experimental conditions for the separation of PRO enantiomers using HSA as chiral selector and electrokinetic chromatography have been optimised. Affinity constants and protein bi…
Micellar electrokinetic chromatography with bile salts for predicting ecotoxicity of aromatic compounds.
2004
The retention factors of several aromatic compounds were obtained by micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) using cholate, taurocholate, deoxycholate and deoxytaurocholate as micellar systems. The possibility of using these retention factors to describe and predict several ecotoxicological activities of different aromatic compounds was evaluated. Adequate correlations retention–ecotoxicity (log LC50 in fish and daphnia, log EC50 in green algae and daphnia, chronic values in fish and green algae, bioconcentration factor, and soil sorption coefficient) were obtained for the micellar systems studied. The predictive ability of the models obtained for these micellar systems was compared. …
Determination of phenolic antioxidants in vegetal and animal fats without previous extraction by dilution with n-propanol and micellar liquid chromat…
1999
Abstract A simple and rapid HPLC method for the determination of phenolic antioxidants (propyl and octyl gallates, tert -butylhydroquinone and 3- tert -butyl-4-hydroxyanisole) in sunflower, corn and olive oils, margarine, lard and butter oil is described. The samples are diluted with n -propanol, filtered and injected; solutions containing 30% (w/w) sample can be injected. The analytes are separated with a C18 column and a micellar mobile phase containing 0.1 M SDS, 2.5% n -propanol and 10 mM phosphate of pH 3, and detected at 290 nm. Calibration curves are linear ( r > 0.9999) and the limits of detection range from 0.2 to 1.3 ng, which correspond to antioxidant concentrations well below t…
Determination of thyreostatics in animal feed by micellar electrokinetic chromatography
1999
The determination of the thyreostatics 2-thiouracil, its derivatives (4-methyl-2-thiouracil, 4-propyl-2-thiouracil and 4-phenyl-2-thiouracil) and methimazole in manufactured dried animal feed by micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) is described. A 99 +/- 5% extraction yield at the 20 micrograms g-1 level (n = 8) was achieved by shaking the milled fodder with methanol-1 M NaOH (80 + 20). Aliquots of the supernatant were injected in a 75 microns x 33.5 cm uncoated silica capillary using pressure; separation was performed at 23 degrees C with 15 kV (positive polarity) in a background electrolyte (BGE) containing 40 mM sodium dihydrogenphosphate, 50 mM sodium dodecyl sulfate and 15 mM …
Determination of Parabens in Cosmetics without Previous Extraction by Micellar Liquid Chromatography
1999
A simple and rapid micellar liquid chromatography method for the determination of p-hydroxybenzoic acid esters (methyl-, ethyl-, n-propyl-, and n-butylparaben) in cosmetics (bath foam, milk lotion, hand cream, cream base, and shampoo) is described. The samples are solved with n-propanol, further diluted with more n-propanol or with an aqueous sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) micellar solution, and injected. Separations are performed with a micellar mobile phase containing 0.1M SDS, 2.5% n-propanol, 10mM phosphate (pH 3), and with an octadecyl silica column (C 18 ). Calibrations are linear (correlation coefficient r > 0.999) and the limits of detection range from 0.03 to 0.3 ng paraben. The det…
Analysis of post-harvest fungicides by micellar electrokinetic chromatography.
2001
A method based on solid-phase extraction (SPE) and micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) was developed for the simultaneous determination of carbendazim, imazalil, methylthiophanate, O-phenylphenol, prochloraz, procimidone, thiabendazole and triadimefon residues in grape, lettuce, orange and tomato. Selectivity and resolution were studied changing the pH and the concentration of the buffer, the type and concentration of surfactant and the methanol content in the mobile phase. A buffer consisting of 4 mM borate with 75 mM sodium cholate (pH 9.2) gave the best results. The recoveries of the fungicides in spiked fruit and vegetable samples ranged from 30 to 105%, and the limits of dete…
On-line preconcentration strategies for analyzing pesticides in fruits and vegetables by micellar electrokinetic chromatography.
2007
Five pesticides (fludioxonil, procymidone, pyriproxyfen, dinoseb and carbendazim) were separated in reversed migration micellar electrokinetic chromatography (RM-MEKC) using 20 mmol l(-1) phosphate buffer at pH 2.3, containing 25 mmol l(-1) sodium dodecylsulfate and 10% methanol. Three on-line concentration strategies, sweeping (SW), normal stacking with reversed migration and a water plug (SRW) and stacking with reverse migration and removal of sample matrix using polarity switching (SRMM), were compared. About 10-, 30- and 50-fold increases in detection sensitivity, compared with standard hydrodynamic injection (5 s at 0.5 psi), were observed with SW, SRW and SRMM, respectively. Limits of…
