Abstract

A modification of the conventional static head-space gas chromatography method (SHSGC method) to determine stability constants for 1-alkanol/alpha-CD inclusion complexes was investigated. The 1 : 1 stability constants determined by this modified SHSGC method are in reasonable agreement with the corresponding values reported previously. The modified SHSGC method precludes the necessity of the calibration curve by the use of Henry's law constant of guest. Consequently, the modified SHSGC method is more advantageous than the conventional SHSGC method because the experimental time required for determination of the stability constant is markedly reduced.

Development of an isotope dilution mass spectrometry assay for HbA1c based on enzyme-cleaved peptide analysis.

HbA1c is an index of control in diabetes patients. We report a highly reproducible measurement method for HbA1c based on analysis of the enzyme-cleaved peptide by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry using deuterium-labeled synthetic peptides as internal standards. Intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation for the novel method ranged from 1.23 to 1.99% for samples with high and low HbA1c. Using this method, we clarified the extent of discrepancies among the indices of diabetes measured by conventional methods and the ESI method for clinical samples including those from patients with Hb variants. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods for most samples with variants underestimate the true HbA1c value, although a few variants give a positive error for HbA1c. Immunoassays may also underestimate the values, if the reactivity of the antibody is low against the glycated N-terminal of the variant beta-chains by conformational change. The method proposed here is an important step to establish a candidate definitive method, and is also useful in assessing specific HbA1c test systems using samples containing Hb variants.

Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for the determination of tranexamic acid in human plasma.

A new method for the determination of tranexamic acid (TA) in human plasma using high performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometric detection was described. TA and the internal standard, methyldopa, was extracted from a 200 l plasma sample by a one-step deproteination using perchloric acid. Chromatographic separation was performed on an Xtrra MS C18 Column (2.1 mm x 100 mm, 3.5 microm) with the mobile phase consisting of 10% acetonitrile in 2 mM ammonium acetate buffer (pH 3.5) at a flow rate of 0.15 ml/min. The total run time was 5 min for each sample. Detection and quantitation was performed by the mass spectrometer using the multiple reaction monitoring of the precursor-product ion pair m/z 158 --> 95 for TA and m/z 212 --> 166 for methyldopa, respectively. The method was linear over the concentration range of 0.02-10.00 g/ml with lower limit of quantification of 0.02 microg/ml for TA. The intra- and inter-day precision was less than 11% and accuracy ranged -10.88 to 11.35% at the TA concentrations tested. The present method provides a relatively simple and sensitive assay with short turn-around time. The method has been successfully applied to a clinical pharmacokinetic study of TA in 12 healthy subjects.

Determination of paraldehyde by gas chromatography in whole blood from children.

A rapid, sensitive and selective gas chromatographic method with flame ionization detection was developed for the determination of paraldehyde in small blood samples taken from children. Whole blood samples (300 microl) collected in a 3 ml Wheaton glass sample vial were spiked with acetone (internal standard: 15 ng) followed by addition of concentrated hydrochloric acid. The mixture was heated in the sealed airtight sample vial in a water bath (96 Celsius; 5 min) to depolymerize paraldehyde to acetaldehyde. A 2 ml aliquot of the headspace was analyzed by gas chromatography with flame ionization detector using a stainless steel column (3 m x 4 mm i.d.) packed with 10% Carbowax 20 M/ 2% KOH on 80/100 Chromosorb WAW. Calibration curves were linear from 1.0-20 microg (r2>0.99). The limit of detection was 1.5 microg/ml, while relative mean recoveries at 2 and 18 microg were 105.6 +/- 8.4 and 101.2 +/- 5.9%, respectively (n = 10 for each level). Intra- and inter-assay relative standard deviations at 2, 10 and 18 microg were <15%. There was no interference from other drugs concurrently used in children with severe malaria, such as anticonvulsants (diazepam, phenytoin, phenobarbitone), antipyretics/analgesics (paracetamol and salicylate), antibiotics (gentamicin, chloramphenicol, benzyl penicillin) and antimalarials (chloroquine, quinine, proguanil, cycloguanil, pyrimethamine and sulfadoxine). The method was successfully applied for pharmacokinetic studies of paraldehyde in children with convulsions associated with severe malaria.
