Abstract We describe an analysis for propranolol in plasma, with use of reversed-phase "high-pressure" liquid chromatography and fluorescence detection. Pronethalol is used as the internal standard. The procedure, which involves extraction into an organic solvent, evaporation, and clean-up by micro-scale back extraction from hexane into an aqueous phase, is specific and sensitive. The detection limit is less than 6 microgram/L (2.3 X 10(-8) mol/L). Within-day and between-day coefficients of variation are 1.8 and 4.4%, respectively. Commonly used drugs, including procainamide, N-acetylprocainamide, and quinidine, do not interfere.

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).

Abstract The gas-liquid chromatographic determination of tetradifon technical and formulations was collaboratively studied in duplicate with 12 laboratories. Six samples were dissolved in dichloroethane with n-hexacosane as the internal standard, chromatographed on a column of 3% SE-52, and detected by flame ionization. The average coefficients of variation were 1.2% for the 2 technical samples, 1.6% for the 2 wettable powders, and 1.5% for the 2 emulsifiable concentrates. The method has been adopted official first action.

Abstract A liquid chromatographic method for the determination of triadimefon (Bayleton™) in triadimefon technical and formulated products has been developed and subjected to a collaborative study with 7 participating collaborators. Formulations were extracted with mobile solvent and analyzed by normal phase chromatography, with 4-chlorophenyl sulfoxide as an internal standard. Collaborators were furnished with standards and samples of technical products, 50% wettable powders, and 25% wettable powders for analysis. Coefficients of variation of the values obtained on these samples were 1.42, 0.82, and 1.05%, respectively. The method has been adopted official first action.

Abstract In this improved method for quantifying 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylethyleneglycol (MHPG) in urine, after a multistep extraction of MHPG and internal standard (iso-MHPG) from 3.0 mL of urine, the compounds are separated on a C18 reversed-phase column and quantified by use of an electro-chemical detector. The isocratic chromatographic separation takes about 16 min. The mobile phase is phosphate buffer/acetonitrile (88/12 by vol), the flow rate 0.7 mL/min. Recycling the mobile phase and automating the sample injection make possible the unattended assay of more than 70 samples per day. The within-run precision of the method is excellent (CV 1.8%) at a mean concentration of 1.1 mg/L.

Abstract A liquid chromatographic (LC) method was developed for the determination of zearalenone and zearalenol in grains and mixed animal feeds. Samples are extracted with chloroform and purified by a baseacid liquid-liquid partition. Zearalenone and zearalenol are separated by reverse phase LC and determined by fluorescence detection, excitation wavelength 236 nm with a 418 nm cutoff filter. The method was applied to the determination of zearalenone and zearalenol in 395 survey samples of corn, oats, barley, sorghum, silage, and finished feeds. The limit of detection is 10 ng/g for both toxins. The range of naturally occurring toxins found was 10-4000 ng/g. Average recoveries were 84% for zearalenone and 69% for zearalenol. Coefficients of variation were 24.6% for zearalenone and 30.8% for zearalenol for crop year 1980, and 28.3% for zearalenone and 22.0% for zearalenol for crop year 1981.

Abstract A liquid chromatographic method for determination of bendiocarb in technical materials and wettable powders was tested by 12 collaborators. Bendiocarb is dissolved in acetonitrile containing 0.1% propiophenone as internal standard. This solution is analyzed on a liquid chromatograph utilizing a reverse phase (C18) column. The compound is detected at 254 nm and peak area is used for quantitation. The 3 different materials studied contained 20, 80, and nominally 100% bendiocarb. Each was examined in duplicate to provide the necessary matched pairs. Collaborators approved of the ease and simplicity of the method and, in particular, the way the method can be applied to automatic injection assemblies. The statistical data show acceptable precision of the method: Reproducibility coefficients of variation were 20% material, 2.04%; 80% material, 1.02%; and nominal 100% material (technical product), 0.64%. The method has been adopted official first action.

Abstract We have developed "high-performance" liquid-chromatographic methods for determining 4-aminopyridine, an acetylcholine-releasing drug, in serum, saliva, and urine. As little as 1 microgram/L can be detected by extracting the alkalinized sample plus the internal standard (3,4-diaminopyridine) into dichloromethane, mixing the organic phase with 1-pentanol, evaporating the dichloromethane, and injecting the residue onto a reversed-phase column, where it is eluted with acetonitrile/methanol/aqueous ammonium carbonate, with detection at 245 nm. Analytical recoveries from serum averaged 86.7%. The CV at 50 micrograms/L was 2.9% (n = 8). For urine samples containing very high concentrations of 4-aminopyridine, we mixed urine and potassium carbonate in an automatic injector vial, extracted the drug into dichloromethane, centrifuged, and injected an aliquot of the extract into the chromatograph. Analytical recoveries averaged 92%, and the CV was about 2% for drug concentrations of 0.1-8 mg/L of urine.

Abstract A gas-liquid chromatographic (GLC) method is described for determining isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN) in tablets. ISDN is extracted from tablet excipients by a 2-phase system composed of water-ethyl ether, and detected and quantitated with a flame ionization detector after separation from the internal standard (glyceryl tributyrate) on a 3% OV-210 column. Ten replicate assays on 2 different batches of tablets, each containing 5 mg ISDN, gave coefficients of variation of 1.16 and 1.48%, respectively. Comparison of results obtained for tablets containing 5, 10, and 40 mg ISDN, and for diluted isosorbide dinitrate raw material containing 25% ISDN, showed good correlation among the GLC, USP colorimetric, and USP polarographic procedures. Assay of synthetic mixtures containing ISDN, isosorbide-2-mononitrate, and isosorbide-5-mononitrate demonstrated that the GLC procedure is specific for ISDN, whereas the USP polarographic procedure is subject to interference from the mononitrates.

Abstract We describe a liquid-chromatographic method involving a new, nonsilica column (XAD-2, Hamilton Co.) for pentobarbital in plasma. Plasma is extracted with chloroform after addition of the internal standard, 5-ethyl-5-p-tolyl-barbituric acid. Acidic drugs are back-extracted into alkali, then chromatographed on the resin-base reversed-phase column. The use of alkaline mobile phase allows enhanced sensitivity and detection of barbiturates at 240 nm. The within-run CV for 10 samples was 1.9%, the between-run CV 1.8%. Ten commonly used barbiturates are separated isocratically in less than 15 min. Other commonly prescribed acidic drugs do not interfere with determination of pentobarbital.

Abstract We describe a simple liquid-chromatographic system for simultaneously measuring bronchodilators, anticonvulsants, hypnotics, and chloramphenicol. Use in therapeutic drug monitoring includes determination of theophylline, caffeine, chloramphenicol, ethosuximide, primidone, phenobarbital, phenacemide, phenytoin, mephenytoin, nirvanol, and carbamazepine and its bioactive metabolites within 13 min. In the "toxicology mode" theophylline, caffeine, barbital, butabarbital, pentobarbital, amobarbital, secobarbital, primidone, phenobarbital, methylprylon, glutethimide, methaqualone, phenytoin, mephenytoin, nirvanol, and carbamazepine and its bioactive metabolites are resolved within 17 min. A reversed-phase C8 column (5-microns particles) is used, with acetonitrile/water (20/80 by vol) as mobile phase. The drugs are extracted from 50 microL of serum with use of a Chromosorb P microcolumn and chloroform/isopropanol (6/1 by vol). The drugs are quantified by absorbance at 208 nm, with tolylphenobarbital as internal standard. Lower limits of detection varied from 0.05 to 0.1 mg/L, analytical recovery from 94% to 106%; CVs were less than 5.6% within run, less than 6.9% between runs.
