Identification of the Biotransformation Products of 2-Ethylhexyl 4-(N,N-Dimethylamino)benzoate
2010
Nowadays, 2-ethylhexyl 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)benzoate (EDP) is one of the most widely used UV filters in sunscreen cosmetics and other cosmetic products. However, undesirable processes such as percutaneous absorption and biological activity have been attributed to this compound. The in vitro metabolism of EDP was elucidated in the present work. First of all, the phase I biotransformation was studied in rat liver microsomes and two metabolites, N,N-dimethyl-p-aminobenzoic acid (DMP) and N-monomethyl-p-aminobenzoic acid (MMP), were identified by GC-MS analysis. Secondly, the phase II metabolism was investigated by means of LC-MS. The investigated reactions were acetylation and glucuronidation …
Simple and sensitive reversed-phase liquid chromatographic assay for analysis of chlorthalidone in urine
1993
Abstract This study describes a rapid method for the determination of chlorthalidone in human urine by reversed-phase liquid chromatography and UV detection at 230 nm, after clean-up over a C8 solid-phase extraction column. Liquid chromatography was carried out on a C18-bonded phase using acetonitrile-phosphate buffer (pH=3) gradient elution. Triamterene was used as internal standard. The system has been applied to the determination of chlorthalidone in the 0.10–10.0 μg/mL concentration interval; the limit of detection was 6 ng/mL.
Comparison of different sorbents for on-line liquid-solid extraction followed by high-performance liquid chromatographic determination of nitrogen-co…
1998
Abstract LiChrolut EN [poly(styrene-divinylbenzene), PSDVB], Carbograph (graphitized carbon black, GCB), Isolute CN (cyanopropylsilica), Isolute C 2 (ethylsilica), and LiChrospher RP18 (octadecylsilica) were studied for on-line solid-phase extraction of twelve nitrogen containing pesticides from water. Determination (UV 210 nm) was performed with a Spherisorb C 8 analytical column and an acetonitrile-water gradient. The mean recoveries from 50 ml ranged from 83% for RP18 to 44% for GCB, and decreased in the following order: RP18, CN, LiChrolut EN, C 2 , and GCB. GCB showed poor recoveries due to incomplete desorption with the acetonitrile-water gradient used, and memory effects were detecte…
Bio-metal-organic frameworks for molecular recognition and sorbent extraction of hydrophilic vitamins followed by their determination using HPLC-UV
2020
A bio-metal-organic framework (bio-MOF) derived from the amino acid L-serine has been prepared in bulk form and evaluated as sorbent for the molecular recognition and extraction of B-vitamins. The functional pores of bio-MOF exhibit high amounts of hydroxyl groups jointly directing other supramolecular host-guest interactions thus providing the recognition of B-vitamins in fruit juices and energy drinks. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies reveal the specific B-vitamin binding sites and the existence of multiple hydrogen bonds between these target molecules and the framework. It offered unique snapshots to accomplish an efficient capture of these solutes in complex aqueous matrices. Fo…
Online Solid-Phase Extraction LC-MS/MS: A Rapid and Valid Method for the Determination of Perfluorinated Compounds at Sub ng·L-1Level in Natural Water
2018
In this research paper, we report a method able to detect perfluorinated compound at pg·L−1 levels in superficial and underground water samples. An online solid phase extraction HPLC-MS/MS method was developed for the analysis of 12 perfluoroalkyl acids (PFASs). The method is based on injection of 5000 µL of water sample in SPE online WAX column followed by chromatography separation and mass spectrometry determination. SPE online elution was performed by water + 0.05% NH4OH and methanol + 0.05% NH4OH, while separation of target compounds was achieved within 10 min by Gemini chromatographic column operating from 1 to 12 pH range and using a mixture of water-methanol + 0.05% NH4OH. Sub ng·L−1…
Supercritical fluid extraction of resveratrol from grape skin of Vitis vinifera and determination by HPLC
2000
Supercritical fluid extraction of resveratrol from grape skin of Vitis vinifera was studied. Extraction variables such pressure, modifier concentration (ethanol), and extraction time were optimised. Final extraction conditions were: 40 degrees C, 150 bar, 7.5% ethanol and extraction time 15 min. Extraction recovery and precision (variation coefficient between 0.2 and 1.0%) were calculated. The resveratrol content in the ethanolic extract was determined by HPLC with UV detection at 306 nm. Acetic acid-methanol-water was used as the mobile phase, and C-18 and C-8 columns were tested, instrumental parameters were optimised, and analytical parameters were calculated (lineal interval 0-75 mg l(-…
Spectrophotometric determination of carbaryl by on-line elution after its preconcentration onto polyurethane foam.
2000
Abstract An analytical methodology has been developed for the UV-spectrophotometric determination of carbaryl in waters after its preconcentration onto a polyether type polyurethane foam followed by on-line elution. The aforementioned strategy offers an easy way for in-field sampling and to improve the analytical sensitivity. Several chemical and flow variables (mass of sorbent, sample flow rate, sample volume and carrier flow rate) were studied to ensure the best performance of the system. Recovery studies, carried out on natural water samples spiked with known amounts of carbaryl at concentration levels between 250 and 500 μg l−1, provided recovery percentages between 94 and 105%. A detec…
Thermal lens spectrometric determination of cerium with oxine
1991
Abstract The spectrophotometric and photothermal (TLS) procedures for cerium determination using 8-hydroxyquinoline (oxine), after extraction into chloroform, are compared. Photothermal measurements are made using a coaxial pump/probe thermal lens spectrometer. The use of high-purity reagents at low concentrations permits a decrease in the TLS blank signal and noise, leading to a limit of detection of 9 × 10−9 M (cerium extract concentration), 40-fold lower than the spectrophotometric value. The dynamic range extended up to 6 × 10−7 M and the relative standard deviation for 5 × 10−7 M cerium was 3.9%.

A method for the determination of dimethylamine in air by collection on solid support sorbent with subsequent derivatization and spectrophotometric a…
2005
A new method for dimethylamine determination in air is reported. The proposed assay is based on the employment of C18-packed solid phase extraction cartridges for sampling. The retained amine is then derivatized inside the cartridges with the reagent 1,2-naphthoquinone-4-sulfonate. By observing the coloured area of the cartridge, a semiquantitative estimation of the amine can be made. It was also possible to distinguish between primary and secondary amines by visual inspection. Quantitative tests entailed desorption from the cartridges of the derivatives formed, and measurement of the absorbance of the collected extracts. The selected conditions were applied to quantify dimethylamine up to …
