Cleaning validation procedure eased by using overpressured layer chromatography.

Abstract

In the manufacturing plants of many pharmaceutical companies the reaction apparatus is suitable to produce different active pharmaceutical ingredients. After completing the production of a compound the equipment should be cleaned in order to avoid the cross contamination in the next lot of the other products. In the authors' laboratory several chromatographic methods were introduced to measure the amount of the residual substances remaining on the surface of the apparatus after the cleaning procedure. A sensitive and fairly rapid overpressured layer chromatographic (OPLC) procedure--suitable to separate and control five steroid hormone compounds (allylestrenol, estradiol, ethynodiol diacetate, levonorgestel, norethisterone) produced in the same equipment at different times--was developed and validated.

Intracellular metabolism and bioactivity of quercetin and its in vivo metabolites.

Understanding the cellular effects of flavonoid metabolites is important for predicting which dietary flavonoids might be most beneficial in vivo. Here we investigate the bioactivity in dermal fibroblasts of the major reported in vivo metabolites of quercetin, i.e. 3'-O-methyl quercetin, 4'-O-methyl quercetin and quercetin 7-O-beta-D-glucuronide, relative to that of quercetin, in terms of their further metabolism and their resulting cytotoxic and/or cytoprotective effects in the absence and presence of oxidative stress. Uptake experiments indicate that exposure to quercetin led to the generation of two novel cellular metabolites, one characterized as a 2'-glutathionyl quercetin conjugate and another product with similar spectral characteristics but 1 mass unit lower, putatively a quinone/quinone methide. A similar product was identified in cells exposed to 3'-O-methyl quercetin, but not in the lysates of those exposed to its 4'-O-methyl counterpart, suggesting that its formation is related to oxidative metabolism. There was no uptake or metabolism of quercetin 7-O-beta-D-glucuronide by fibroblasts. Formation of oxidative metabolites may explain the observed concentration-dependent toxicity of quercetin and 3'-O-methyl quercetin, whereas the formation of a 2'-glutathionyl quercetin conjugate is interpreted as a detoxification step. Both O -methylated metabolites conferred less protection than quercetin against peroxide-induced damage, and quercetin glucuronide was ineffective. The ability to modulate cellular toxicity paralleled the ability of the compounds to decrease the level of peroxide-induced caspase-3 activation. Our data suggest that the actions of quercetin and its metabolites in vivo are mediated by intracellular metabolites.

Determination of protease inhibitors using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

A method for the analysis of six protease inhibitors and one metabolite has been developed and validated. Amprenavir, ritonavir, saquinavir, lopinavir, indinavir, nelfinavir, and an active metabolite of nelfinavir (M8) are quantitated using reversed-phase liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry, equipped with an electrospray ionization source (ESI-LC-MS-MS). The validation data presented here shows that the method allows the rugged analysis of these species from one aliquot. The evolution of complex drug interactions assessments and the clinical use of therapeutic drug monitoring for these antiretrovirals will be a potential immediate application of this method.

Multi-dimensional liquid phase based separations in proteomics.

This review covers recent developments towards the implementation of multi-dimensional (MuD) liquid phase based systems for proteome investigations. Although two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE) has been used as a standard approach in proteomics, its drawbacks including the limited dynamic range and molecular mass range, together with lack of on-line integration with biological mass spectrometery (Bio-MS) have limited its widespread use and applications in proteomics. In the meantime, various liquid-phase based multi-dimensional separation techniques have been explored. Especially, with the emergence of the combination of nanoflow capillary high-performance liquid chromatography (cHPLC) and Bio-MS, attention is again refocused on utilizing multi-dimensional liquid-phase based separation of proteins. Some remarkable applications of on-line analysis of intact proteins and on-column digested proteins, and the emergence of approaches such as multiple HPLC-electrospray ionization tandem MS and capillary array electrophoresis-matrix assisted laser desorption ionization MS, have stimulated thinking towards developing a automated multi-dimensional system (MuDSy) that integrates liquid phase based separation, digestion and identification of proteins in complex biological mixtures.
