Abstract

The aim of this work is to determine the amount of some aromatic amines in urine of non-exposed people in order to define a reference value. The literature examination has showed that only a small numbers of aromatic amines are usually determined in urine namely: aniline, benzidine, 2-naphtilamine, o-toluidine, 3,3'-dichlorobenzidine, 4-chloro-o-toluidine and 4-chlorobenzidine. On the basis of our experience the analytical method proposed by Lichtenstein is appropriate for obtaining reliable analytical results.

Synthesis of fluorescent label, DBD-beta-proline, and the resolution efficiency for chiral amines by reversed-phase chromatography.

DBD-d(and l)-beta-proline, new fluorescent chiral derivatization reagents, were synthesized from the reaction of 4-(N,N-dimethylaminosulfonyl)-7- fl uoro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (DBD-F) with beta-proline. The racemic mixture synthesized was separated by a chiral stationary phase (CSP) column, Chiralpak AD-H, with n-hexane-EtOH-TFA-diethylamine (70:30:0.1:0.1) as the mobile phase. The dl-forms were decided according to the results obtained from a circular dichroism (CD) detector after separation by the CSP column. The fractionated enantiomers reacted with chiral amine to produce a couple of diastereomers. The labeling proceeded in the presence of 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDC) and pyridine as the activation reagents. The reaction conditions were mild and no racemization occurred during the diastereomer formation. The resulting diastereomers fluoresced at around 570 nm (excitation at around 460 nm). Good linearity of the calibration curves was obtained in the range 1-75 pmol and the detection limits on chromatogram were less than 1 pmol. The separability of the diastereomers was compared with the diastereomers derived from DBD-d(or l)-proline. The resolution values (Rs) obtained from the diastereomers of three chiral amines with DBD-d(or l)-beta-proline were higher than those derived from DBD-d(or l)-proline, e.g. dl-phenylalanine methylester (dl-PAME), 2.23 vs 1.37; (R)(S)-1-phenylethylamine [(R)(S)-PEA], 2.09 vs 1.13; and (R)(S)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethylamines [(R)(S)-NEA], 5.19 vs 1.23. The results suggest that the position of COOH group on pyrrolidine moiety in the structures is one of the important factors for the efficient separation of a couple of the diastereomers.

Gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis of gabapentin in serum.

A new highly sensitive analytical method for determining gabapentin [1-(aminomethyl) cyclohexaneacetic acid; Neurontin] in serum using gas chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) was developed. GC-MS/MS was applied to determine the levels of gabapentin in serum samples of mice at 1 and 6 h after oral or intraperitoneal treatment (300 mg/kg). At 1 h, the concentrations of the drug were 4.02 +/- 0.42 and 4.32 +/- 0.28 microg/mL in mice treated orally and intraperitoneally, respectively. At 6 h, drug levels decreased by about 66% in both groups. The method, coupling two stages of mass analysis, could be very useful in identifying the drug in complex mixtures such as blood and urine. Moreover, it is easy and rapid to perform, and sensitive enough to allow the presence of the drug to be determined at very low detection limits. It is a very reliable method for both clinical and experimental monitoring of gabapentin.

Screening of antimicrobial activity of diarylamines in the 2,3,5-trimethylbenzo[b]thiophene series: a structure-activity evaluation study.

Gram positive (Bacillus cereus, B. subtilis), Gram negative (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli) bacteria, and Candida albicans as a representative of fungi were used for screening the in vitro antimicrobial activity of diarylamines in the 2,3,5-trimethylbenzo[b]thiophene series bearing different substituents, synthesized by us using the palladium-catalyzed C-N coupling methodology. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and structure-activity relationships (SARs) were evaluated.
