Abstract We describe a modified method for assay of epsilon-aminocaproic acid. Serum or cerebrospinal fluid is deproteinized, followed by cation-exchange column-chromatography, and N-trifluoroacetyl-n-butyl derivatives of amino acids are formed and separated by gas chromatography. Tranexamic acid, a nonprotein amino acid, was used as an internal standard. The assay is sensitive and precise, and results correlate adequately with those obtained with an automated amino acid analyzer (ion-exchange chromatography).

Abstract We describe a rapid method for determining cholesterol sulfate in plasma and erythrocytes. After its single-step isolation by means of anion-exchange chromatography cholesterol sulfate is hydrolyzed, trimethylsilylated, and determined by gas chromatography with flame ionization detection. 5 beta-Cholestan-3 alpha-ol sulfate is used as internal standard. The method enables simultaneous determination of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate in plasma. We applied it for the diagnosis of seven patients with recessive X-linked ichthyosis. Concentrations are given for plasma and erythrocytes from four unaffected relatives of patients with X-linked ichthyosis, a patient with placental sulfatase deficiency, two patients with other types of ichthyoses, and 20 controls. The method may also be of use for the rapid isolation of other organic sulfates from biological material, as illustrated by a comparison of gas chromatograms of urine from a normal pregnant woman and that from a patient with placental sulfatase deficiency.

Abstract Qualitative analysis of organic acids has never been reported for sugar maple sap, but only for its products, "sugar sand" and maple syrup. A gas chromatographic (GC) method is described for the simultaneous determination of up to 13 nonvolatile organic acids in sugar maple sap. Sap is filtered through Celite, and acids are isolated via cation- and anion-exchange chromatography. Reaction of dried acids with BSA [N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide] in the presence of pyridine and methoxyamine hydrochloride yields the more volatile TMS (trimethylsilyl) esters. Oxalic, succinic, fumaric, L-malic, tartaric, cis-aconitic, citric, and/or shikimic acids were found in maple sap at concentrations ranging from less than 50 ppb to more than 45 ppm, depending on the particular acid and the date of sap flow. Percent recoveries and coefficients of variation for the acids at the 500 ppm level were 46.0 (3.2), 92.0 (2.9), 73.0 (0.77), 94.0 (2.0), 95.0 (−), 72.0 (−), and 97.0 (0.38), respectively. Various amounts of nonvolatile organic acids are reported in the sap of one sugar maple tree throughout a sap season, and of 3 individual maples during an early sap flow. Quantitation limits were as low as 15 ppb for individual acids in the analysis of a 100 mL sap sample. Esters were separated on a mixed liquid phase column of 4% SE-52/2% SE-30 on Chromosorb W-HP. They were identified by relative retention time, using a dual flame ionization detector. Naphthalene was used as the internal standard. Concurrent identification of pyruvic, malonic, glutaric, α-ketoglutaric, cis-aconitic, and isocitric acids with those previously mentioned is also possible.

Abstract A modified method is presented to determine trace quantities of N-nitrosodiethanolamine (NDE1A) and yV-nitrosodiisopropanolamine (NDiPlA) in the triisopropanolamine (TiPlA) formulation of a mixture of picloram and 2,4-D. Aqueous sample is extracted with dichloromethane to remove organic interferences, and then the aqueous layer is passed sequentially through chloride anion exchange column, hydrogen cation exchange column, and Clin-Elut extraction tube. The final eluate, 10% acetone in ethyl acetate, is concentrated. The isolated nitrosamines are converted to the corresponding trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivatives and determined by gas chromatography (GC) on a DB1 column coupled with a thermal energy analyzer (GC-TEA). Eight samples of commercial TiPlA formulations are analyzed. Maximum detected levels of NDE1A and NDiPlA were 0.6 and 0.9 ppm, respectively, expressed relative to total weight of active ingredients. Analysis of 13 samples of herbicide DEIA formulation using a previously established method and a DB225 column gave NDE1A results of 0.7-6.0 ppm. NDiPlA was not detected in those samples. Results are confirmed by GC-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) with oxygen negative chemical ionization (ONCI) detection. Dectection limits for both nitrosamines are 0.05 or 0.07 ng (0.1 or 0.17 ppm) for GC-TEA detection, depending on the analytical columns used, and 20 pg (0.04 ppm) for GC/MS detection. Recoveries of NDE1A are 87-109% for DEIA formulation spiked at 2.6 and 3.9 ppm and 90-115% for TiPlA formulation spiked at 0.2-0.3 ppm. Similarly, recoveries of NDiPlA are 95.7-100% for the DEIA formulation spiked at 0.24 and 0.48 ppm, and 82-118% for the TiPlA formulation spiked at 0.2-0.3 ppm.

Abstract A liquid chromatographic (LC) method is described for the determination of taurine in vitamin and vitamin-mineral premix formulations. The method involves extraction of taurine with 0.1 M bicarbonate buffer, followed by precolumn derivatization with dansyl chloride and LC using fluorescence detection. 6-Aminocaproic acid is used as an internal standard. A reverse phase analytical column and a mobile phase of 0.1M acetate buffer solution (pH 7.2)-acetonitrile (75 + 25) are used. Vitamins, minerals, and other excipients in the premix formulations do not interfere in the determination. The method is simple, precise, and accurate

: A spectrophotometry was investigated for the determination of epsilon aminocaproic acid (EACA) with p-nitrophenol (PNP). The method was based on a charge transfer (CT) complexation of this drug as n-electron donor with π-acceptor PNP. Experiment indicated that the CT complexation was carried out at room temperature for 10 minutes in dimethyl sulfoxide solvent. The spectrum obtained for EACA/PNP system showed the maximum absorption band at wavelength of 425 nm. The stoichiometry of the CT complex was found to be 1:1 ratio by Job’s method between the donor and the acceptor. Different variables affecting the complexation were carefully studied and optimized. At the optimum reaction conditions, Beer’s law was obeyed in a concentration limit of 1~6 µg mL-1. The relative standard deviation was less than 2.9%. The apparent molar absoptivity was determined to be 1.86×104 L mol-1cm-1 at 425 nm. The CT complexation was also confirmed by both FTIR and 1H NMR measurements. The thermodynamic properties and reaction mechanism of the CT complexation have been discussed. The developed method could be applied successfully for the determination of the studied compound in its pharmaceutical dosage forms with a good precision and accuracy compared to official method as revealed by t- and F-tests.

Abstract A validated HPLC-UV method is presented for the quantification of urinary memantine hydrochloride, a novel medication approved to treat moderate and advanced cases of Alzheimer's disease. The drug and amantadine hydrochloride, the internal standard, were extracted from human urine using SPE. The extract was then buffered and derivatized at room temperature using o-phthalaldehyde in the presence of N-acetyl-L-cyteine. Chromatographic separation of the formed derivatives was achieved on a C18 column using methanol–water mobile phase adjusted to pH 7 and pumped isocratically at 1 mL/min. The UV detector was set at 340 nm. The chromatographic run time did not exceed 10 min. The LOD and LOQ were 8 and 20 ng/mL, respectively. The RSDs for intraday and interday precisions did not exceed 5.5%. The method was used to monitor memantine hydrochloride in human urine in order to determine an appropriate sampling interval for future noninvasive therapeutic drug monitoring. The assay could also be applied to the determination of amantadine. The described assay showed that a postdosing time interval of 25–75 h seems adequate for sampling and monitoring memantine in urine.

An HPLC-UV method was developed and validated for the determination of lumefantrine in human plasma. Lumefantrine and its internal standard halofantrine were extracted from plasma samples using protein precipitation with acetonitrile (0.2% perchloric acid) followed by solid-phase extraction with Hypersep C8 cartridges. Chromatographic separation was performed on a Zorbax SB-CN HPLC column (3.0 × 150 mm, 3.5 μm) with water/methanol (0.1% TFA) as the mobile phases in a gradient elution mode. Detection was performed using UV/vis detector at λ = 335 nm. The method showed to be linear over a range of 50-10,000 ng/mL with acceptable intra- and inter-day precision and accuracy. The mean recoveries were 88.2% for lumefatrine and 84.5% for the I.S. The internal standard halofantrine is readily available from commercial sources. This method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic interaction study between a first-line antimalarial combination (artemether—lumefantrine) and antiretroviral therapy.

A rapid, specific and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of famotidine in human plasma has been developed. Famotidine and the internal standard were chromatographically separated from plasma components using a Lichrocart Lichrospher 60 RP select B cartridge for solid-phase separation with a mobile phase composed of 0.1 % (v/v) triethylamine in water (pH 3) and acetonitrile (92:8, v/v). UV detection was set at 270 nm. The calibration curve was linear in the concentration range of 10.0 ? 350.0 ng mL-1. The method was implemented to monitor the famotidine levels in patient samples.

Abstract This method for determination of haloperidol in plasma is based on "high-performance" isocratic liquid chromatography with the use of a C8 bonded reversed-phase column at room temperature. Haloperidol and the internal standard (chloro-substituted analog) are extracted from alkalinized plasma into isoamyl alcohol/heptane (1.5/98.5 by vol) and back-extracted into dilute H2SO4. The aqueous phase is directly injected onto the column. The mobile phase is a 30/45/25 (by vol) mixture of phosphate buffer (16.5 mmol/L, pH 7.0), acetonitrile, and methanol. Unlike other liquid-chromatographic procedures for haloperidol, commonly used psychotropic drugs do not interfere. Analysis can be completed within an hour. The procedure is extremely sensitive (1.0 microgram/L) and is well reproducible (CV 5.6% for a 2.5 micrograms/L concentration in plasma).
