Separation of the enantiomers of primary and secondary amphetamines by liquid chromatography after derivatization with (−)-1-(9-fluorenyl)ethyl chlor…
2003
The chiral reagent (−)-1-(9-fluorenyl)ethyl chloroformate (FLEC) has been evaluated for the enantioselective analysis of amphetamines by liquid chromatography. For separation of the FLEC diastereomers conventional reversed-phase conditions were used. The conditions affording the best enantiomeric resolution and sensitivity were determined for amphetamine, methamphetamine, ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA), 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), and 3,4-methylenedioxyethylamphetamine (MDE). All the amphetamines assayed could be separated with resolution factors ranging from 0.91 to 1.92. Although FLEC is typically used as a fluorogenic reagent, it was shown t…
Analysis of methylamine by solid-phase microextraction and HPLC after on-fibre derivatization with 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate
2004
Abstract A method for the determination of methylamine (MA) in aqueous matrices is reported which uses solid-phase microextraction (SPME) for enrichment and derivatization of the analyte, and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The fluorogenic reagent 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (FMOC) has been used for derivatization. The SPME fibres were successively immersed in the samples and in the derivatization solutions to extract MA and FMOC, respectively. After a defined time of reaction, the derivatized analyte was desorbed into the chromatographic system, and chromatographed in a LiChrosphere 100 RP18, 125 mm ×4 mm i.d., 5 μm, column under gradient elution. In order to improve the…
A new selective method for dimethylamine in water analysis by liquid chromatography using solid-phase microextraction and two-stage derivatization wi…
2005
Abstract A new method is presented for the determination of DMA in water as its 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (FMOC) derivative using solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and liquid chromatography. The method is based on the employment of SPME fibres coated with carbowax-templated resin (CW-TR) for analyte extraction and derivatization. The fibres were successively immersed in the samples, in a solution of o -phthalaldialdehyde and N -acethyl- l -cysteine (OPA–NAC) and finally, in a solution of FMOC. OPA–NAC reacted on the fibre with possible primary aliphatic amines present in the samples, particularly with PA which is a direct interferent in the determination of DMA with FMOC. In such a w…
Quantification of nortriptyline in plasma by HPLC and fluorescence detection
2009
Abstract A simple, sensitive and specific high-performance liquid chromatography method has been developed for the determination of nortriptyline (NT) in plasma samples. The assay involved derivatization with 9H-fluoren-9-ylmethyl chloroformate (Fmoc-Cl) and isocratic reversed-phase (C 18 ) chromatography with fluorescence detection. The developed method required only 100 μl of plasma sample, deproteinized and derivatized in one step. Calibration curves were lineal over the concentration range of 5–5000 ng/ml. The derivatization reaction was performed at room temperature in 20 min and the obtained NT derivative was stable for at least 48 h at room temperature. The within-day and between-day…
Automated on-line in-tube solid-phase microextraction-assisted derivatization coupled to liquid chromatography for quantifying residual dimethylamine…
2008
Abstract A method for the analysis of dimethylamine (DMA) by automated in-tube solid-phase microextraction (IT-SPME)-supported chemical derivatization coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography was developed. Extraction, derivatization and desorption were studied by using a capillary coated with 95% polydimethylsiloxane and 5% polydiphenylsiloxane. Solution derivatization and automated IT-SPME derivatization using 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (FMOC) were compared. The proposed procedure provided adequate linearity, accuracy and precision in the 0.2–2.0 μg/mL concentration interval, and the limit of detection (LOD) was 50 ng/mL. The main advantages of the proposed procedure are: …
Derivatization of tertiary amphetamines with 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate for liquid chromatography: determination of N-methylephedrine.
2000
The fluorogenic reagent 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (FMOC) was evaluated for the derivatization of tertiary amphetamines prior to liquid chromatographic analysis. Conditions for the derivatization were investigated, including the reaction time, the derivatization reagent concentration and the pH, using N-methylephedrine as a model compound. On the basis of these studies, a method for the quantification of N-methylephedrine is presented. The method involves derivatization with FMOC at ambient temperature and separation of the derivatives formed on a LiChrospher C18, 5 μm, 125 × 4 mm id column using acetonitrile–water gradient elution. The proposed procedure shows good linearity, accuracy…
Liquid chromatographic determination of trimethylamine in water.
2004
A method for the selective determination of trimethylamine (TMA) in aqueous matrices by liquid chromatography is reported. The proposed procedure is based on the derivatization of the analyte with 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (FMOC) in a precolumn (Hypersil C18, 30 microm, 20 mm x 2.1 mm i.d.) connected on-line to the analytical column (LiChrosphere 100 RP18, 5 microm, 125 mm x 4 mm i.d.). Gradient elution was performed with a mixture of acetonitrile-water-0.05 M borate buffer (pH 9.0). The method has been applied to the direct determination of TMA in water within the 0.25-10.0 microg/ml concentration interval, and can also be adapted to the determination of TMA over the range 0.05-1.0 m…
Sensitive determination of methylenedioxylated amphetamines by liquid chromatography.
2001
Different strategies for the liquid chromatographic determination of methylenedioxylated amphetamines were evaluated: separation and detection of underivatized analytes by (i) UV or (ii) fluorescence, (iii) derivatization with 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl chloride followed by separation and UV detection of the derivatives formed and (iv) derivatization with 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (FMOC) and subsequent separation and fluorimetric detection of the derivatives. The compounds tested were 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA), 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) and 3,4-methylenedioxyethylamphetamine (MDE). On the basis of these studies, a new procedure for the chromatographic determination of…
Comparative study of the determination of trimethylamine in water and air by combining liquid chromatography and solid-phase microextraction with on-…
2005
This work describes a new approach for the determination of trimethylamine (TMA) in water and air by liquid chromatography (LC). The assay is based on the employment of a solid-phase microextraction (SPME) fiber for sampling and for derivatization of the analyte with the fluorogenic reagent 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (FMOC). The fiber, with a Carbowax-templated resin -50mum coating, was first immersed into a solution of the reagent. Once loaded with the reagent, the fiber was immersed into the water samples or exposed to the air samples in order to extract and to derivatize the analyte. Finally, the fiber was placed into a HPLC-SPME interface to desorb and transfer the TMA-FMOC derivat…
Determination of sertraline in rat plasma by HPLC and fluorescence detection and its application toin vivopharmacokinetic studies
2012
A simple, rapid, and sensitive HPLC method based on 9H-fluoren-9-ylmethyl chloroformate derivatization for the quantification of sertraline in rat plasma has been developed, requiring a plasma sample of only 0.1 mL, which was deproteinized and derivatized for 5 min in two single steps. The obtained derivative was stable at room temperature and was determined by HPLC using a fluorescence detector. The analytical column was a C(18) column and the mobile phase was acetonitrile and water (80:20, v/v). Calibration curves were linear in the range of 10-500 ng/mL. The limit of detection was approximately 3 ng/mL, and the lower limit of quantification was established at 10 ng/mL. The bias of the me…
