Silver ion chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in the structural analysis of cyclic dienoic acids formed in frying oils
1995
The nature of the cyclic monoenoic fatty acids formed from linoleic acid in sunflower oil heated to 275°C has been determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry of the picolinyl ester derivatives, before and after hydrogenation and deuteration, and following simplification by silver ion high-performance liquid chromatography. In addition, they were examined by gas chromatography-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Cyclopentene fatty acids (50% of the total monoenes) were formed from C-8 to C-12 and C-10 to C-14 of the original chain in equal amounts with unique stereochemistry. In some isomers the double bond appeared to remain in its original position, and in others it migrated t…
Stability of tacrolimus ophthalmic solution
2017
Purpose The stability of 0.3-mg/mL tacrolimus ophthalmic solution at different storage temperatures was studied. Methods A sterile ophthalmic solution of 0.3 mg/mL tacrolimus was prepared in triplicate under aseptic conditions by diluting tacrolimus in eye drops. Three aliquots of this solution were transferred into polypropylene bottles and stored at 25, 2–8, or −15 to −25 °C. Samples were collected immediately after preparation and at selected time points and assayed in triplicate using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Samples were also visually examined for macroscopic changes. The 0.3-mg/mL tacrolimus solution was also exposed to acidic treatment and heat to force its degr…
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…
Automated analysis of quetiapine and other antipsychotic drugs in human blood by high performance-liquid chromatography with column-switching and spe…
2004
Abstract An automated HPLC method with column switching is described for the determination of quetiapine, clozapine, perazine, olanzapine and metabolites in blood serum. After clean-up on silica C8 material (20 μm particle size) drugs were separated on ODS Hypersil C18 material (5 μm; column size 250 mm × 4.6 mm i.d.) within 25 min and quantified by ultraviolet (UV) detection at 254 nm. The limit of quantification ranged between 10 and 50 ng/ml. At therapeutic concentrations of the drugs, the inter-assay reproducibility was below 10%. Analyses of drug concentrations in serum of 75–295 patients treated with therapeutic doses of the antipsychotic drugs revealed mean ± S.D. steady state concen…
Comparison of Dialysis and Dispersion Methods for In Vitro Release Determination of Drugs from Multilamellar Liposomes
2008
The aim of these studies was to compare dialysis and dispersion methods for determining in vitro release of propranolol, metoprolol, pindolol, and atenolol from multilamellar liposomes. Multilamellar vesicles (MLV) were prepared using hydrogenated soy-lecithin phospholipon 90H (Ph 90H) as the primary lipid. The same volume of pH 7.4 phosphate buffered saline was used as a receptor medium for both methods. Samples were withdrawn, and drug concentration was determined using HPLC. All drug-containing liposomes exhibited an initial burst release followed by a slower rate of release. The rate and extent of drug release from MLV was dependent on the physicochemical properties of the drug. For all…
Therapeutic Monitoring of Aripiprazole by HPLC with Column-Switching and Spectrophotometric Detection
2005
Aripiprazole is a novel atypical antipsychotic drug for the treatment of schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorders (1)(2)(3). The drug is metabolized by the cytochrome P450 isoenzymes 3A4 and 2D6 (4). Because of high interindividual variability in the expression of these enzymes, the aripiprazole concentration varies among healthy individuals after administration of the drug (5). In patients, insufficient response or side effects, such as somnolence, akathisia, or nausea, may result from too low or too high drug concentrations. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), which is established practice for many antipsychotic drugs (6)(7), may be helpful for patients treated with aripiprazole. We mea…
Multi-residue determination of 47 organic compounds in water, soil, sediment and fish—Turia River as case study
2017
A sensitive and reliable method based on solid-liquid extraction (SLE) using McIlvaine-Na2EDTA buffer (pH = 4.5)-methanol and solid-phase extraction (SPE) clean up prior to ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC–MS/MS) was applied to determine 47 organic contaminants in fish, soil and sediments. The SPE procedure to clean-up the extracts was also used as extraction method to determine these compounds in water. Recoveries ranged from 38 to 104% for all matrices with RSDs 50% for 36 compounds in front of 9, matrix effect < 20% for 31 compounds against 21, and LOQs <25 ng g−1 for 38 compounds against 22) indicates that the proposed method is mor…
