Abstract

Solid-phase microextraction coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography was successfully applied to the analysis of nine phenylurea herbicides (metoxuron, monuron, chlorotoluron, isoproturon, monolinuron, metobromuron, buturon, linuron, and chlorbromuron). Polydimethylsiloxane-divinylbenzene (PDMS-DVB, 60 microm) and Carbowax-templated resin (CW-TPR, 50 microm) fibers were selected from four commercial fibers for further study because of their better extraction efficiencies. The parameters of the desorption procedure were studied and optimized. The effects of the properties of analytes and fiber coatings, carryover, duration and temperature of absorption, pH, organic solvent and ionic strength of samples were also investigated. External calibration with an aqueous standard can be used for the analysis of environmental samples (lake water) using either PDMS-DVB or CW-TPR fibers. Good precisions (1.0-5.9%) are achieved for this method, and the detection limits are at the level of 0.5-5.1 ng/ml.

Determination of rizatriptan in human plasma by liquid chromatographic-eletrospray tandem mass spectrometry: application to a pharmacokinetic study.

A sensitive liquid chromatographic-tandem mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS) method was developed for the determination of rizatriptan in human plasma. The analytes were extracted from plasma samples by liquid-liquid extraction, separated on a Zorbax XDB C8 column (150 x 4.6 mm i.d.) and detected by tandem mass spectrometry with an electrospray ionization interface. Zomitriptan was used as the internal standard. The method had a lower limit of quantitation of 50 pg/mL for rizatriptan, which showed more sensitivity and speed of analysis compared with reported methods. The within- and between-day precision was measured to be below 11.71% and accuracy between -5.87 and 0.86% for all quality control samples. This quantitation method was successfully applied to the evaluation of the pharmacokinetic profiles of rizatriptan after single oral administration of 5, 10 and 15 mg rizatriptan tablets to 10 healthy volunteers (five males and five females).

Preparation of tea glycoprotein and its application as a calibration standard for the quantification and molecular weight determination of tea glycoprotein in different tea samples by high-performance gel-permeation chromatography.

Tea glycoprotein (TGC) was purified by Sephadex G-100 gel filtration, and its purity and molecular weight (MW) were determined by high performance gel permeation chromatography. The gel permeation chromatography (GPC) elution behavior of TGC on an Ultrahydrogel 500 (7.8x300 mm) column was studied using a mobile phase with various concentrations of NaCl. A dextran T system was found to be unsuitable as MW calibration standards in GPC because the MW of TGC was changed with the change of ionic concentration in the mobile phase. Thus, the purified TGC obtained in this study was standardized and used instead as the calibration standards for the determination and comparison of TGCs in tea samples collected from different geographic locations and species varieties. The GPC was run at 35 degrees C on an Ultrahydrogel 500 column (7.8x300 mm) with a refractive index detector. Distilled water was used as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.6 ml.min(-1). The calibration curve was linear over the TGC concentration range of 0.604-6.04 mg.ml(-1), with a correlation coefficient of r=0.9997. The TGC mass recovery ranged from 80.4 to 93.2%, with a relative standard deviation of 5.42%. The assay method developed in this paper was found to be simple, reproducible, and reliable and, thus, ideally suitable for the quality control of TGC-derived products and raw materials.

Nickel species analysis of human colonic tissue using liquid chromatography, gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry.

Studies to specify metal-binding species, such as metalloproteins that are present in trace amounts in colonic cell cytosol, using chromatographic separation methods in combination with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) as element-specific detection require an optimised sample preparation regarding the solubilisation of the proteins. Focus should be taken to avoid metal contamination, enzymatic digestion by different proteases and oxidation. In this article different sample preparation methods are studied to find a suitable method for the isolation and characterisation of Ni species previously found in cytosols from normal and malignant tissues of the human colon. The total Ni concentrations of the cytosols were determined as well as the total protein content. Thus, a Ni-containing protein could be isolated from cytosols of malignant human colonic tissues using size-exclusion chromatography with ICP-MS for element-specific detection. Ni-containing species in the molecular mass range from 10,000 to 20,000 Da were found and pre-concentrated. The determination of the molecular mass of the species was performed through online coupling of reversed-phase chromatography with electrospray ionisation quadrupole time-of-flight MS. Using identical chromatographic conditions and ICP-MS the detected protein was shown to contain Ni.
