Validation of a solid phase extraction-high performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of eprosartan in human plasma.

In this work, a solid phase extraction-reversed phase high performance liquid chromatographic (SPE-RP-HPLC) method with photometric detection for monitoring the antihypertensive drug eprosartan has been validated in order to assure good quantitation of eprosartan in plasma samples obtained from patients under cardiovascular treatment. This analytical method was developed by using experimental design and quantitation was accomplished with the internal standard method. No interferences were observed from endogenous compounds of plasma and other drugs which are commonly co-administered in elderly patients. The recoveries of eprosartan from plasma samples, measured at three levels of the linear concentration range (150-4000 ng/mL) were found to be between 93.4 and 102.8%. The intraday and interday precision and accuracy (measured by relative standard deviation, RSD, and relative error, RE, respectively) were always lower than 13% (RSD) and 4% (RE). Stability studies showed that eprosartan stock solutions are stable for at least 3 months when stored at 8 degrees C and plasma samples containing the drug were stable at least during the whole analytical method.

QTL analysis of yield traits in an advanced backcross population derived from a cultivated Andean x wild common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cross.

Advanced backcross QTL analysis was used to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) for agronomic performance in a population of BC2F(3:5) introgression lines created from the cross of a Colombian large red-seeded commercial cultivar, ICA Cerinza, and a wild common bean accession, G24404. A total of 157 lines were evaluated for phenological traits, plant architecture, seed weight, yield and yield components in replicated trials in three environments in Colombia and genotyped with microsatellite, SCAR, and phaseolin markers that were used to create a genetic map that covered all 11 linkage groups of the common bean genome with markers spaced at an average distance of every 10.4 cM. Segregation distortion was most significant in regions orthologous for a seed coat color locus (R-C) on linkage group b08 and two domestication syndrome genes, one on linkage group b01 at the determinacy (fin) locus and the other on linkage group b02 at the seed-shattering (st) locus. Composite interval mapping analysis identified a total of 41 significant QTL for the eight traits measured of which five for seed weight, two for days to flowering, and one for yield were consistent across two or more environments. QTL were located on every linkage group with b06 showing the greatest number of independent loci. A total of 13 QTL for plant height, yield and yield components along with a single QTL for seed size showed positive alleles from the wild parent while the remaining QTL showed positive alleles from the cultivated parent. Some QTL co-localized with regions that had previously been described to be important for these traits. Compensation was observed between greater pod and seed production and smaller seed size and may have resulted from QTL for these traits being linked or pleiotropic. Although wild beans have been used before to transfer biotic stress resistance traits, this study is the first to attempt to simultaneously obtain a higher yield potential from wild beans and to analyze this trait with single-copy markers. The wild accession was notable for being from a unique center of diversity and for contributing positive alleles for yield and other traits to the introgression lines showing the potential that advanced backcrossing has in common bean improvement.
