Abstract We describe a simple method for measuring delta-aminole-vulinic acid in urine without the need for the seldom-used but time-consuming internal-standard addition step. It combines the analytical procedure described by Tomokuni and Ogata [Clin. Chem. 18, 1534 (1972)] and a correction based on urine density to obtain, more rapidly and less expensively, results as accurate as those given by the Davis and Andelman [Arch. Environ. Health 15, 53 (1967)] chromatographic method.

Abstract A simple gas chromatographic method is described for the determination of histapyrrodine HC1 in marketed formulations. Chlorpheniramine maleate is used as the internal standard. The amount of histapyrrodine HC1 found by the proposed method averaged 19.91 mg/tablet, compared with the label claim of 20 mg/tablet. The method was statistically evaluated for accuracy and precision.

Abstract We describe a liquid-chromatographic assay for AZT in human plasma and urine. This assay involves the use of two internal standards, allowing reference of AZT peaks to the appropriate internal standard, the choice depending on the range of concentrations encountered. This method is isocratic, specific, sensitive enough to allow quantification of AZT in concentrations observed clinically, and requires only 13 min of chromatographic time. We saw no interference from various over-the-counter and prescription drugs often used in treating the infectious complications of AIDS.

Abstract The gas-liquid chromatographic method for the determination of T-2 toxin in plasma is described. The toxin is extracted with benzene, washed with aqueous sodium hydroxide, and chromatographed on a small Florisil column; the heptafluorobutyryl derivative is prepared by reaction with heptafluorobutyrylimidazole. The T-2 HFB derivative is chromatographed onOV-1 at 230°C and measured with an electron capture detector. Iso-T-2, an isomer of T-2 toxin, is added to samples as an internal standard before extraction. Recoveries averaged 98.0 ± 5.5% at levels ranging from 50 to 1000 ng/m L. The limit of detection is 25 ng/mL.

Abstract We describe a sensitive, simple method for measuring homovanillic acid in human plasma. The method is based on liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection. Sensitivity was 125 pg of homovanillic acid per injection. Samples were deproteinized and extracted with organic solvent before chromatography. Quantification was by the standard-additions technique. Analytical recovery of added HVA was 44.8 (SD 6.2%). We confirmed specificity by using serial amperometric detectors.

Abstract We describe a sensitive and precise gas-chromatographic method, in which cytosine is used as the internal standard, for determination of an antifungal agent, 5-fluorocytosine, in serum. The trimethylsilyl derivative of this drug is well separated from the internal standard and from normal serum constituents. Amphotericin B does not interfere with the determination of 5-fluorocytosine. The lower limit of detection for 5-fluorocytosine is 1 mg/liter when 200 mul of serum is analyzed. Within-run precision (CV), established by analysis of 10 replicates, was 4.5% at a concentration of 19.9 mg/liter. Twenty-five serum samples were analyzed for 5-fluorocytosine by a microbiological assay and by the gas-chromatographic method. Mean value observed with the bioassay was 78.5 mg/liter and with our procedure was 69.4 mg/liter. When values for our assay were regressed against values for the bioassay, slope of the least-squares line was 0.85, intercept was 2.7 mg/liter, and r was 0.93.

Abstract A rapid, simple, accurate, and precise isothermal gas-chromatographic method is introduced for determination of methaqualone (2-methyl-3-o-tolyl-4(3H)-quinazolinone) in serum. A single extraction of 2 ml of serum, without derivative formation, will give adequate sensitivity for quantitation of therapeutic serum concentrations of the drug within 15 min. The method is free of interferences from biological substances, as well as from commonly used drugs. A non-drug internal standard compensates for variables in extraction, injection, and instrumental changes during analysis. The coefficient of variation, day-to-day, is 5.6%. Mean recovery of added methaqualone was 80%. To compensate for the nonquantitative yield and ensure accurate results, we prepared all analytical methaqualone standards in serum.

Abstract A GLC method was developed for the determination of diethylstilbestrol in feeds within the 0.0011–0.0022% range, using dienestrol diacetate as an internal standard. A 10 g sample was extracted with 7% ethanol in chloroform and subjected to a modified alkaline cleanup. The bis-(trimethylsilyl) acetamide derivative was then prepared and determined by GLC. No interference was encountered with commercial feed samples.

Abstract A liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the determination of free fatty acids in butter. The fatty acids are converted to the p-bromophenacyl esters, via a crown ether-catalyzed reaction, without separation from the other butter components. The esters are separated on a Cis-bonded silica column by using an acetonitrile-water solvent gradient and quantitated using the ester of heptadecanoic acid as internal standard. Cu, and C ,S:i co-elute in the acetonitrile-water system but are separated using an isocratic methanol-acetonitrile-water system. Limits of detection range from 7 ng for butyric acid to 45 ng for linoleic acid. The average coefficient of variation (n = 10) for 10 free fatty acids from,a butter was 5.83%.
