DETERMINATION OF PENTOBARBITAL IN BIOLOGICAL SAMPLES BY MICELLAR LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY
1999
A liquid chromatographic procedure for the determination of pentobarbital in urine and plasma samples is described. The proposed system uses a Spherisorb octadecyl-silane ODS-2 C18 analytical column, a guard column of similar characteristics, and a 0.02 M CTAB-15% 1-propanol at pH 7.5 mobile phase. The UV detector was set at 250 nm. Pentobarbital was isolated from urine and plasma samples by using a single solid phase extraction procedure with LMS cartridges. Mephobarbital was used as internal standard. Limits of detection were 0.53 μg/mL and 0.60 μg/mL in urine and plasma samples respectively. In both cases the coefficients of variation were lower than 6.5%, and the recoveries ranged betwe…
Determination of sulphonamides in human urine by azo dye precolumn derivatization and micellar liquid chromatography
1995
Abstract A high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of sulphonamides in urine is reported. The drugs (sulphadiazine, sulphaguanidine, sulphamethizole, sulphamethoxazole, and sulphathiazole) were diazotized with nitrite and coupled with N-(1-naphthyl)ethylenediamine dihydrochloride in a sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) micellar medium. Separation of the sulphonamide azo dyes was performed on a C18 column with a 0.05 M SDS-2.4% pentanol mobile phase, which permitted the direct injection of the urine samples. The limits of detection were in the 0.1–0.3 μg/ml range.
Direct injection of physiological fluids in micellar liquid chromatography
2000
Abstract Micellar liquid chromatography (MLC), which uses mobile phases of surfactants above the critical micellar concentration, provides a solution to the direct injection of physiological samples by solubilizing the protein components, and coating the analytical column with surfactant monomers to avoid clogging. A review showing the advantages and limitations of this technique over other chromatographic techniques used in drug analysis, working protocols, and examples of application is presented. The possibility of direct sample introduction simplifies and greatly expedites the treatments with reduced cost, improving the accuracy of the procedures. Surfactant monomers and micelles appear…
Evaluation of the pH effect of formulations on the skin permeability of drugs by biopartitioning micellar chromatography☆
2004
Dermal absorption of chemicals is an area of increasing interest for the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, as well as in dermal exposure and risk assessment processes. Biopartitioning micellar chromatography (BMC) is a mode of reversed phase micellar chromatography that has proved to be useful in the description and prediction of several pharmacological properties of xenobiotics including oral drug absorption, ocular and skin drug permeability. The present paper deals with the application of biopartitionig micellar chromatography to evaluate the pH effect on the skin permeability of twelve non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and lidocaine. For this purpose the BMC retention of the w…
Biopartitioning micellar chromatography: an in vitro technique for predicting human drug absorption.
2001
The main oral drug absorption barriers are fluid cell membranes and generally drugs are absorbed by a passive diffusion mechanism. Biopartitioning micellar chromatography (BMC) is a mode of micellar liquid chromatography that uses micellar mobile phases of Brij35 under adequate experimental conditions and can be useful to mimic the drug partitioning process in biological systems. In this paper the usefulness of BMC for predicting oral drug absorption in humans is demonstrated. A hyperbolic model has been obtained using the retention data of a heterogeneous set of 74 compounds, which shows predictive ability for drugs absorbed by passive diffusion. The model obtained in BMC is compared with …
Micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography for therapeutic drug monitoring of carbamazepine and its main metabolites.
1998
In carbamazepine (CBZ) therapy the concomitant monitoring of concentrations of CBZ and its metabolites is strictly recommended, primarily to avoid toxic side effects. Currently, clinical routine monitoring of CBZ is accomplished by high-performance liquid chromatography or immunological methods. In this study a micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatographic (MECC) method was developed for routine drug monitoring of CBZ and its main metabolites, carbamazepine 10,11-diol and carbamazepine 10,11-epoxide, in human serum or plasma samples. The MECC method enabled baseline separation of all analytes within 2.5 min. The assay revealed sufficient precision and sensitivity and the results of eith…
Determination of isoniazid and pyridoxine in plasma sample of tuberculosis patients by micellar liquid chromatography
2021
It is no doubt Isoniazid is a powerful tuberculosis drug, but it might give rise to Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) deficiency. In this case, a usual treatment is the combined administration of Isoniazid and Pyridoxine. An easy-to-conduct procedure based on Micellar Liquid Chromatography has been developed to quantify Isoniazid and Pyridoxine in plasma from Tuberculosis patients. The sample was diluted in mobile phase, filtered and directly injected, thus avoiding extraction or purification steps. Both drugs were adequately resolved from the matrix and endogenous compounds using a mobile phase made up of 0.15 M sodium dodecyl sulfate – 8%(v/v) 1-butanol – 0.01 M phosphate buffer at pH 3, running at…
Potential of biopartitioning micellar chromatography as an in vitro technique for predicting drug penetration across the blood–brain barrier
2004
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is considered to be the main barrier to drug transport into the central nervous system (CNS). The BBB restricts the passive diffusion of many drugs from blood to brain. The ease with which any particular drug diffuses across the BBB is determined largely by the molecular features of drugs, and it is therefore possible to predict the BBB permeability of a drug from its molecular structure. Biopartitioning micellar chromatography (BMC), a mode of micellar liquid chromatography that uses micellar mobile phases of Brij35 in adequate experimental conditions, can be useful in mimicking the drug partitioning process into biological systems. Retention in BMC depends on…
Rapid in vitro test to predict ocular tissue permeability based on biopartitioning micellar chromatography.
2003
The drug permeability prediction across the ocular tissues is important in the development of new drugs and drug delivery strategies. Physicochemical characteristics of drugs, mainly acid-base character, hydrophobicity and the molecular size determine both their transport across the eye tissue barriers and their retention in biopartitioning micellar chromatography (BMC). An in vitro model able to describe and predict the whole cornea drug permeability is proposed. The model uses the retention of drugs in BMC and molecular weight (MW) as predictive variables. The relationships between drug retention data in BMC and their bibliographic permeability values in stroma, epithelium-plus-stroma and…
Micellization properties of cardanol as a renewable co-surfactant
2015
With the aim to improve the features of surfactant solutions in terms of sustainability and renewability we propose the use of hydrogenated natural and sustainable plant-derived cardanol as an additive to com- mercial surfactants. In the present study we demonstrated that its addition, in amounts as high as 10%, to commercial surfactants of different charge does not significantly affect surfactant properties. Conversely, the presence of hydrogenated cardanol can strongly affect spectrophotometric determination of CMC if preferential interactions with the dyes used take place. This latter evidence may be profitably exploited in surfactant manufacturing by considering that the concurrent pres…
