Three simultaneous dissolution profiles on a solid pharmaceutical formulation by a FIA manifold provided with a single spectrophotometric detector.
2003
This article deals with the simultaneous determination of three dissolution profiles in the same pharmaceutical formulation. The officially proposed procedure from the pharmacopoeias is adapted to the FIA methodology to obtain the officially recommended profile or "global profile", and two "individual" profiles, corresponding to dissolution rate of two different active principles present in the formulation; both drugs have overlapped UV-vis spectra. The simultaneous determination of several profiles is based on the derivative spectra and the zero crossing mathematical procedure for the "individual" profiles of an active principle; the "global" profile of the formulation is obtained from the…
1-Hexyl-3-methyl imidazolium tetrafluoroborate: an efficient column enhancer for the separation of basic drugs by reversed-phase liquid chromatograph…
2012
Abstract Ionic liquids are dual modifiers composed by a large anion and a large cation, which interact with both the hydrophobic alkyl-bonded phase and the anionic residual silanols in C18 columns. The deactivation of the silanol groups has important implications on the chromatographic analysis of basic drugs, being the improvement of peak profiles and shorter retention times the most noticeable features. However, other characteristics as selectivity or resolution are not usually considered, or are only examined for selected chromatographic conditions. In this work, the effect of the addition of the ionic liquid 1-hexyl-3-methyl imidazolium tetrafluoroborate to acetonitrile–water mixtures i…
Retention mechanisms for basic drugs in the submicellar and micellar reversed-phase liquid chromatographic modes.
2008
The reversed-phase liquid chromatographic (RPLC) behavior (retention, elution strength, selectivity, efficiency, and peak asymmetry) for a group of basic drugs (beta-blockers), with mobile phases containing the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and acetonitrile, revealed different separation environments, depending on the concentrations of both modifiers: hydro-organic, submicellar at low surfactant concentration and high concentration of organic solvent, micellar, and submicellar at high concentration of both surfactant and organic solvent. In the surfactant-mediated modes, the anionic surfactant layer adsorbed on the stationary phase interacts strongly with the positively ch…
A theoretical plate model accounting for slow kinetics in chromatographic elution.
2011
The chromatographic elution has been studied from different perspectives. However, in spite of the simplicity and evident deficiencies of the plate model proposed by Martin and Synge, it has served as a basis for the characterization of columns up-to-date. This approach envisions the chromatographic column as an arbitrary number of theoretical plates, each of them consisting of identical repeating portions of mobile phase and stationary phase. Solutes partition between both phases, reaching the equilibrium. Mobile phase transference between the theoretical plates is assumed to be infinitesimally stepwise (or continuous), giving rise to the mixing of the solutions in adjacent plates. This yi…
Micellar liquid chromatography: suitable technique for screening analysis.
2002
The screening capability of micellar liquid chromatography (MLC) is discussed using the reported chromatographic data of several sets of compounds (amino acids, beta-blockers, diuretics, phenethylamines, phenols, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, steroids and sulfonamides) and new results (sulfonamides and steroids). The chromatographic data are treated with an interpretive optimisation resolution procedure to obtain the best separation conditions. Usually, the pH and the concentration of surfactant (sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS, or cetyltrimethylammonium bromide) for the optimal mobile phase were 2.5-3 and0.12 M, respectively. The nature and concentration of organic solvent depended on the…
Sensing Chiral Drugs by Using CdSe/ZnS Nanoparticles Capped withN-Acetyl-L-Cysteine Methyl Ester
2013
Chiral quantum dots (QDs), differing in their core or shell size and, consequently, in their optical properties, were synthesized by the treatment of commercially available amine-capped quantum dots with methyl ester N-acetyl-L-cysteine (CysP). Interestingly, their colloidal methanol solutions remain stable for several months. Their NMR and IR spectra were in accordance with CysP binding to the QD surface through two anchoring groups; its thiolate (strongly bound) and the carbonyl group of its ester (weaker bound) group, whereas their circular dichroism (CD) spectra showed a new broad redshifted band, suggesting that the attachment to the QD surface modified the conformational equilibrium t…
Strategies to In Vitro Assessment of Major Human CYP Enzyme Activities by Using Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry
2008
At the early stage of drug discovery, thousands of new chemical entities (NCEs) may be screened before a single candidate can be identified for development. Determining the role of CYP enzymes in the metabolism of a compound and evaluating the effect of NCEs on human CYP activities are key issues in pharmaceutical development as they may explain inter-subject variability, drug-drug interactions, non-linear pharmacokinetics and toxic effects. Reliable methods for determining enzyme activities are needed to characterize an individual CYP enzyme and to obtain a tool for the evaluation of its role in drug metabolism in humans. Different liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry methodologi…
Preclinical models for colonic absorption, application to controlled release formulation development.
2018
Oral controlled release (CR) formulations have many benefits and have become a valuable resource for the local and systemic administration of drugs. The most important characteristic of these pharmaceutical products is that drug absorption occurs mainly in the colon. Therefore, this review analyses the physiological and physicochemical features that may affect an orally administered CR product, as well as the different strategies to develop a CR dosage form and the methods used to evaluate the formulation efficacy. The models available to study the intestinal permeability and their applicability to colonic permeability determinations are also discussed.

Cryopreserved primary hepatocytes as a constantly available in vitro model for the evaluation of human and animal drug metabolism and enzyme inductio…
2000
The use of primary hepatocytes is now well established for both studies of drug metabolism and enzyme induction. Cryopreservation of primary hepatocytes decreases the need for fresh liver tissue. This is especially important for research with human hepatocytes because availability of human liver tissue is limited. In this review, we summarize our research on optimization and validation of cryopreservation techniques. The critical elements for successful cryopreservation of hepatocytes are (1) the freezing protocol, (2) the concentration of the cryoprotectant [10% dimethyl-sulfoxide (DMSO)], (3) slow addition and removal of DMSO, (4) carbogen equilibration during isolation of hepatocytes and…
