Abstract

The poor repeatability of migration times in capillary electrophoresis (CE) within an injection sequence and between capillaries can be a difficulty when implementing CE for routine pharmaceutical analysis. The use of a dynamic surface coating has been shown to improve the routine performance of CE. The surface coating generates an appreciable electro-osmotic flow at low pH, which reduces analysis times for basic drugs compared to the low pH buffers typically used in CE. The repeatability of migration times and repeatability of migration times between capillaries was improved. Peak tailing for basic drugs was also reduced which improved peak shapes and peak area integration precision. It is concluded that the dynamic coating system is a positive advance in the routine implementation of CE into pharmaceutical analysis.

Effects of buffer properties on cyclodextrin glucanotransferase reactions and cyclodextrin production from raw sago (Cycas revoluta) starch.

Results from the present study have shown that the ionic species of buffers, pH values and reaction temperature can affect the enzyme unit activities and product specificity of Toruzyme (Novo Nordisk A/S Bagsvaerd, Denmark) CGTase (cyclodextrin glucanotransferase). Applying a similar reaction environment (acetate buffer, pH 6.0; temperature, 60 degrees C), the CGTase was found to be capable of producing pre dominantly beta-cyclodextrin from either raw or gelatinized sago (Cycas revoluta) starch. Changing the buffer from acetate to phosphate reduced the yield of beta-cyclodextrin from 2.48 to 1.42 mg/ml and also affected the product specificity, where production of both alpha- and beta-cyclodextrins were more pronounced. The decrease in the production of cyclodextrins in phosphate buffer was significant at both pH 6.0 and 7.0. However, changing the buffer to Tris/HCl (pH 7.0) showed a significant increase in beta-cyclodextrin production. Increasing the ionic strength of sodium acetate and Tris/HCl buffers at pH 6.0 and 7.0 to equivalent ionic strength of phosphate buffers showed no significant effects on cyclodextrin production. Higher yield of cyclodextrins at pH 7.0 when Tris/HCl was used might be due to the binding of chloride ions at the calcium-binding sites of the CGTase, resulting in the shift of the optimum pH close to physiological environment, leading to an increase in the activities and specificity.

History and principles of conductive media for standard DNA electrophoresis.

DNA electrophoresis has been a dominant technique in molecular biology for 30 years. The foundation for this common technique is based on a few simple electrochemical principles. Electrophoretic DNA separation borrowed from existing protein and RNA techniques developed in the 1950s and 1960s. For 30 years, common DNA electrophoretic conductive media remained largely unchanged, with Tris as the primary cation. DNA electrophoresis relies simply upon the negative charge of the phosphate backbone and the ability to distribute a voltage gradient in a sieving matrix. Nevertheless, the conductive properties in DNA electrophoresis are complicated by choices involving voltage, electric current, conductivity, temperature, and the concentration and identity of the ionic species present. Differences among the extant chemical recipes for common conductive media affect central properties. Tris-based buffers, even in optimal form, create a runaway positive feedback loop between heat generation and retention, temperature, conductivity, and current. This is undesirable, leading to limitations on the permissible electric field and to impaired resolution. Recently, we developed low-molarity conductive media to mitigate this positive feedback loop. Such media allow for application of a higher electric field. Applications of DNA electrophoresis can now be reengineered for lower ionic strength, higher field strengths, and lower requirements for heat dissipation.

Ion-pair complex-based solvent extraction combined with chemiluminescence determination of chlorpromazine hydrochloride with luminol in reverse micelles.

A new chemiluminescence (CL) method is proposed for the determination of chlorpromazine hydrochloride, which is based on the dichloromethane solvent extraction of ion-pair complex of tetrachloroaurate(III) with chlorpromazine hydrochloride and luminol chemiluminescence detection in a reversed micellar medium formed by the cation surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide in a dichloromethane-cyclohexane (1:1 V/V)-water (0.3 mol/L Na2CO3 buffer solution with the pH of 11.5). The ion-pair complex of tetrachloroaurate(III) with chlorpromazine hydrochloride produced an analytical chemiluminescence signal when it entered the reversed micellar water pool. In the optimum conditions, CL intensities are proportional to concentrations of the studied drug over the range 0.05 approximately 10 microg/mL with a detection limit (DL) of 6 ng/mL. The relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) is 2.6% for 1.25 microg/mL chlorpromazine hydrochloride (n = 11). R.S.D. (precision) of inter-day and intra-day is less than 6%, and accuracy of inter-day and intra-day is satisfactory. The method has been applied to the determination of studied drug in pharmaceutical preparations and biological fluids with satisfactory results.
