AbstractMiroestrol is a chromene with potent estrogenic activity present in Pueraria candollei, commonly known as White Kwao Krua. Although this compound is only present in low amounts in the plant, it plays an important role in the estrogenic action of P. candollei products. As a tool for further studies about the efficacy and safety of P. candollei as a phytoestrogenic supplement, we generated a novel monoclonal antibody against miroestrol. This anti-miroestrol monoclonal antibody was used to develop an immunoassay for the determination of miroestrol content, which can be used for quality control purposes of P. candollei. The developed ELISA against miroestrol has a calibration range of 10–780 ng/mL miroestrol, a limit of detection of 3.5 ng/mL, and a limit of quantitation of 12.2 ng/mL. According to the validation analysis, the established ELISA is precise, accurate, specific, and sensitive for miroestrol detection in plants. Furthermore, the anti-miroestrol monoclonal antibody was used to prepare an immunoaffinity column for the isolation of miroestrol from the tuberous root of P. candollei. The column provides a simple procedure for miroestrol isolation, with a capacity of 3.91 µg of miroestrol per 1 mL of immunogel.

Deoxymiroestrol is the most potent phytoestrogen in chromenes group that has been found in Pueraria candollei, Thai name known as Kwao Krua Khao. Several studies reported estrogenic activity of P. candollei in order to using as hormone replacement therapy for postmenopausal women. Previously, specific determination of deoxymiroestrol content by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using polyclonal antibody (pAb) have been reported. However, production of pAb has limitation and variability from different batches. Therefore, in this study, we established quantitative method for determination of deoxymiroestrol using fragment antigen-binding (Fab) antibody-based immunoassay. The developed immunoassay has specificity to deoxymiroestrol with a calibration range of 15.6-1000 ng mL-1. Precision including intra-assay and inter-assay are 1.48-7.11 and 0.58-9.31%, respectively. Accuracy of the assay showed in recovery between 99.77-101.61% when spike deoxymiroestrol standard into the samples. The limit of detection (LOD) is 30.80 ng mL-1. Comparation antibody-based immunoassay for determination of deoxymiroestrol using Fab with pAb was represented consistency (R2 = 0.9807) when analysis roots bark of Pueraria candollei from difference areas. Therefore, this development assay can apply to determine deoxymiroestrol content in the plant samples.

AbstractHomoharringtonine (HHT), also known as omacetaxine, is a natural compound found in the genus Cephalotaxus and is a promising pharmaceutical drug used for the treatment of chronic or accelerated phase chronic myeloid leukemia. As a tool for the quantitative determination of HHT, a specific monoclonal antibody against HHT (MAb 6A1) was generated by conjugates prepared via sodium periodate-mediated oxidation. The developed indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (icELISA) using MAb 6A1 was found to be highly specific and sensitive with a limit of detection for HHT of 48.8 ng/mL. Validation assays to evaluate precision and accuracy of the method were conducted by the use of intra- and inter-assay analysis, recovery test, and comparison analysis between the amounts of HHT determined by ELISA and high-performance liquid chromatography. These results revealed that the established icELISA using MAb 6A1 is specific, sensitive, and reliable enough to be applied to the qualitative analysis for HHT. Furthermore, the results of this study support the usefulness of sodium periodate as a reagent for the conjugation between Cephalotaxus alkaloids and proteins for producing specific antibodies.

Contamination of waters with pharmaceuticals is an alarming problem as it may support the evolution of antimicrobial resistance. Therefore, fast and cost-effective analytical methods for potential on-site analysis are desired in order to control the water quality and assure the safety of its use as a source of drinking water. Antibody-based methods, such as the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), can be helpful in this regard but can also have certain pitfalls in store, depending on the analyte. As shown here for the class of β-lactam antibiotics, hydrolysis of the β‑lactam ring is a key factor in the immunochemical analysis as it influences antibody recognition. With the antibody used in this study, the limit of detection (LOD) in the immunoassay could be significantly reduced by hydrolysis for the five tested penicillins, with the lowest LOD for carbenicillin (0.2 nmol/L) and the greatest impact on penicillins G and V (reduction by 85%). In addition to enhanced quantification, our strategy also provides access to information about the degree of hydrolysis in water samples as shown for the most abundant penicillin amoxicillin.

A method for simultaneous determination of residuals of four herbicides and pesticides, simazine, carboxin, diflubenzuron and rotenone, in Chinese green tea was developed. In the proposed method, the tea powder was placed in a centrifuge tube with a plug, extracted in saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution and acetonitrile, agitated using vortex oscillator, and then centrifuged 5 min at 4000 rpm. The supernatant solution was purified by primary secondary amine (PSA) sorbent, C18 power, and graphitized carbon black powder, respectively. Then the purified extracts were dissolved with acetonitrile:0.1% formic acid aqueous solution (40:60, V/V) and agitated, filtered using a syringe with 0.22 μm nylon filter prior to UPLC-MS/MS analysis. The UPLC analysis was performed on an ACQUITY UPLC® HSS T3 column (2.1 mm×100 mm, 1.8 µm), using acetonitrile-0.1% formic acid as mobile phase with the flow rate as 0.3 mL•min-1. Injection volume was 10 µL.

<b><i>Background:</i></b> Light-initiated chemiluminescence assay (LICA) is a homogeneous assay that has been successfully used for the quantitation of food allergen-specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE), but not inhaled allergen-sIgE. Simultaneously, current assays used to detect allergen-sIgE are serum consuming and/or time consuming. Hence, we established a method for the quantitation of <i>Artemisia</i>-sIgE based on LICA and verified its performance according to the clinical guideline documents, laying a foundation for the quantitation of inhaled and food allergen-sIgE in parallel on LICA. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> The assay was established after optimizing the first incubation time and the dilutions of <i>Artemisia</i>-coated chemibeads, biotinylated goat anti-human IgE, and serum. In order to quantitate <i>Artemisia</i>-sIgE, the calibration curve was established with a high positive serum of known concentration. The assay performance was confirmed per the clinical guideline documents. In addition, the correlation between the results of LICA and capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was evaluated. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The developed LICA’s coefficients of variation of repeatability and intermediate precision were 3.20%, 2.14%, and 3.85% and 4.30%, 4.00%, and 4.40%, respectively. The limit of detection was 0.10 kU<sub>A</sub>/L, and the limit of quantitation was 0.11 kU<sub>A</sub>/L. The range of linearity was from 0.27 kU<sub>A</sub>/L to 97.53 kU<sub>A</sub>/L (<i>r</i> = 0.9968). The correlation coefficient (<i>r</i>) for the correlation analysis between results of LICA and capture ELISA was 0.9087. This assay was successfully applied in 64 human serum samples, showing good sensitivity (82.20%) and specificity (100%). <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> An <i>Artemisia</i>-sIgE quantitation assay based on LICA was successfully established. Its performance satisfied the clinical requirements and could be widely used in clinical laboratories.

Abstract An accurate, rapid, simple, and novel technique was developed to determine simvastatin (SMV). In this research, a screen-printed electrode (SPE) was deposited with graphene oxide (GO) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), respectively. For the first time, the handmade modified SPE measured the SMV by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) with high sensitivity and selectivity. The results of cyclic voltammetry indicated the oxidation irreversible process of SMV. Various parameters (pH, concentration, scan rate, support electrolyte) were performed to optimize the conditions for the determination of SMV. Under the optimum experiment condition of 0.1 M KNO3 as support electrolyte and pH 7.0, the linear range was achieved for SMV concentration from 1.8 to 36.6 µM with a limit of detection (LOD), and a limit of quantitation (LOQ) of 0.06 and 1.8 µM, respectively. The proposed method was successfully utilized to determine SMV in tablets and urine samples with a satisfactory recovery in the range of 96.2 to 103.3%.

Abstract: A simple, precise and economical UV-spectrophotometric method has been developed for the estimation of Olmutinib from bulk. Two methods were developed First method (A) applied was area under curve (AUC) in which the area was integrated in wavelength from 262-272nm. Second method (B) was first order derivative spectrometric method. In this method absorbance at λmin=256.57nm, λmax=282.83nm and zero cross=267.68nm was measured. Calibration curves were plotted for the method by using instrumental response at selected wavelength and concentration of analyte in the solution. In both the methods, linearity was observed in the concentration range of 2-12µg/ml at the λmax=267.68nm. Accuracy and precision studies were carried out and results were satisfactorily obtained. The drug at each of the 80 %, 100 % and 120 % levels showed good recoveries that is in the range of 98.00 to 99.00% for both methods, hence it could be said that the method was accurate. Limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) were determined for the method. The method was validated as per International Conference on Harmonization. All validation parameters were within the acceptable limit. The developed method was successfully applied to estimate the amount of Olmutinib in pharmaceutical formulation.
