Abstract We describe a method for the determination of retinol, alpha-tocopherol, and beta-carotene in serum, using a liquid-chromatographic separation with wavelength-programmed ultraviolet/visible absorbance and amperometric electrochemical detection with a glassy carbon electrode. After protein denaturation and addition of an internal standard, tocol, 250-microL samples are twice extracted with hexane. The reversed-phase, gradient-elution chromatographic separation provides baseline resolution of: the all-trans isomer of retinol from the cis isomers, alpha- from gamma-tocopherol, and all-trans-beta-carotene from alpha-carotene and from cis-beta-carotene isomers. The linearity of response and the detection limits for the two detectors for the three analytes are measured. A comparison of the values obtained for serum extracts shows good agreement between the absorbance and electrochemical detectors.

Catecholamine Metabolites

Abstract A procedure has been developed for determining the O-methylated catecholamine metabolites, normetanephrine and metanephrine, in urine by use of radial-compression liquid chromatography followed by electrochemical detection. Normetanephrine and metanephrine are isolated from hydrolyzed urine by ion-exchange on small, commercially available, disposable columns and preconcentrated by solvent extraction. They are then separated by reversed-phase ion-pair chromatography, with use of a radial compression cartridge and radial compression module, and quantified with 3-methoxy-4-hydroxybenzylamine as internal standard. Normetanephrine, metanephrine, and the internal standard are separated from interfering peaks in about 15 min. The method is applicable to the relatively low amounts of normetanephrine (100-600 micrograms/24 h) and metanephrine (50-400 micrograms/24 h) found in normal subjects and patients with depressive disorders or hypertension. Within-day CVs ranged from 1.1 to 2.2% for normetanephrine and 1.2 to 6.9% for metanephrine; the corresponding between-day CVs were 4.9 and 5.7% over these ranges.

Abstract A reversed-phase high-performance liquid-chromatographic method for the simultaneous determination of retinol, alpha-tocopherol, alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, cryptoxanthin, lutein/zeaxanthin, and lycopene is described. This method was applied to plasma measurements in healthy young and elderly subjects. The plasma, deproteinized with ethanol, is extracted twice with n-hexane. After evaporation, the residue is dissolved in 50 microL of tetrahydrofuran and made up to 200 microL with ethanol. Samples (50 microL) are injected onto a 250 x 4.6 mm column of 5-microns-particle Spherisorb ODS1 (Phase Separations) that had been equilibrated with solvent mixture A:B (90:10 by vol) [A = 100 mmol/L ammonium acetate in methanol: acetonitrile (80:20 by vol) and B = 100 mmol/L ammonium acetate in water] at 2 mL/min. The analytes are eluted by running a 12-min linear gradient to 100% A; solvent A is then maintained for 10 min. Intrabatch CVs were 2.3%, 3.3%, 2.8%, 3.6%, 3.6%, and 3.0% for retinol, alpha-tocopherol, lutein/zeaxanthin, cryptoxanthin, lycopene, and beta-carotene, respectively. The corresponding interbatch CVs were 4.9%, 5.8%, 12.3%, 6.5%, 8.0%, and 3.4%.

Glucuronide Metabolite

Abstract We describe a reversed-phase HPLC method for determination of total mycophenolic acid (MPA), its free concentration (MPAf), and the glucuronide metabolite (MPAG), based on simple sample preparation and gradient elution chromatography. The compounds were quantified in parallel by absorbance at 254 nm and 215 nm in the internal standard mode. Linearity was verified up to 50 mg/L for MPA and up to 500 mg/L for MPAG (r >0.999). Detection limits at 215 and 254 nm were, respectively, 0.01 and 0.03 mg/L for MPA, and 0.03 and 0.1 mg/L for MPAG. The recovery of MPA was 95–106%;recovery of MPAG was 96–106%. The imprecision (CV) for MPA (0.2–25 mg/L) was <8.4% (254 nm) and <4.4% (215 nm) within day (n = 12) and <9.2% (254 nm) and <6.2% (215 nm) between days (n = 12). The imprecision for MPAG (10–250 mg/L) was <4.9% (254 nm) and <3.4% (215 nm) within day, and <6.1% (254 nm) and <5.9% (215 nm) between days. For quantification of MPAf, 100 μL of ultrafiltrate was applied directly to the column. The detection limit was 0.005 mg/L at 215 nm and 0.015 mg/L at 254 nm. In the range between 18–210 μg/L, the within-day CVs were <11.8% (n = 12) and the between-day CVs were <15.8% (n = 12).

AbstractBackgroundOur goal was to develop a simple, rapid and precise ultra performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method for the determination of retinol and α-tocopherol in serum. Currently published LC-MS/MS methods either require complex extraction procedures (liquid-liquid or solid-phase) or do not meet desirable specifications for imprecision in serum (coefficient of variation [CV] <6.8% and 6.9%, respectively).MethodsSample preparation consisted of a simple protein precipitation with ethanol and acetonitrile. Stable isotope-labeled internal standards (IS) and a homemade calibration curve were used for quantification. The analysis was performed using an Acquity I-class Xevo TQ XS LC-MS/MS. Chromatographic runtime was 6.0 min using a reversed phase gradient elution. UniSpray (US) as an ionization technique was compared to electrospray ionization (ESI). Analytical validation included matrix effect, recovery and trueness compared to National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards and United Kingdom National External Quality Assessment Service (UK NEQAS) samples.ResultsIntra- and inter-run CVs were <4.9% for retinol and <1.7% for α-tocopherol, both complying with desirable specifications for imprecision. Bias compared to NIST standards was <3.1% for both compounds. The method was linear over the entire tested range. The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) with US was lower than with ESI for both retinol (0.022 vs. 0.043 mg/L) and α-tocopherol (0.22 vs. 0.87 mg/L). Matrix effects were not significant (<15%) for retinol. However, for α-tocopherol matrix effects of on average 54.0% were noted using ESI, but not with US.ConclusionsWe developed a fast, precise and accurate UPLC-MS/MS method for the determination of retinol and α-tocopherol in human serum using a single-step sample pretreatment. Ionization using US eliminated the matrix effects for α-tocopherol.

Abstract In this procedure for determination of vitamin E by "high-performance" liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection, 25-microL serum specimens are deproteinized with ethanol. Vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol), its derivatives (beta- and gamma-tocopherols), and the internal standard (delta-tocopherol) are extracted into heptane and the extract is evaporated and the residue reconstituted with methanol before injection into the chromatograph. Within- and between-run CVs for an alpha-tocopherol concentration of 13.6 mg/L were 5.1% (n = 28) and 6.0% (n = 5), respectively. The standard curve is linear to 100 mg/L; the minimum concentration detectable is 0.1 mg/L. Analytical recovery ranged from 99.8% to 104.8%. In 36 specimens collected from apparently healthy subjects who were not taking vitamin supplements, alpha-tocopherol as determined by this method ranged from 4.3 to 9.7 mg/L, from 1.8 to 3.9 mg/L for beta- and gamma-tocopherols. Results by this method (y) and an HPLC-ultraviolet method (x) correlate reasonably (r = 0.81): y = 0.88x - 0.55 mg/L (n = 45). This procedure is adaptable to automated analysis, and the small sample requirement facilitates its applicability to neonates.

Abstract Retinol, alpha-tocopherol, lycopene, and alpha- and beta-carotene can be simultaneously determined in human plasma by reversed-phase liquid chromatography. Plasma--0.5 mL plus added internal standard, retinyl acetate--is deproteinized with 0.5 mL of ethanol, then extracted with 1.0 mL of petroleum ether. The organic layer is removed and evaporated, the residue is redissolved in 0.25 mL of ethanol, and 8-microL samples are injected into a 60 X 4.6 mm column of Hypersil ODS 3-microns particles at 35 degrees C. An isocratic methanol mobile phase, flow rate 0.9 mL/min, is used for the 9-min run. Retinol and retinyl acetate are monitored at 305 nm, the tocopherols at 292 nm, and the carotenoids at 460 nm. Between-run CVs were 3.1, 6.9, 6.1, and 6.5% for retinol, alpha-tocopherol, lycopene, and beta-carotene, respectively. Small sample requirement, simplicity of extraction, short run time, and good reproducibility make this procedure ideal for clinical or research use.

Red ginseng is often combined with Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata to reduce alkaloids-related toxicity of the latter. Such herb-pairing also results in better therapeutic effect in heart failure, as compared to the singular use of either herb. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata and its combination with red ginseng on the activities of CYP450 enzymes in rats. A sensitive and reliable HPLC-MS/MS method was established and validated for the simultaneous determination of eight probe drugs, phenacetin (CYP1A2), tolbutamide (CYP2C9), omeprazole (CYP2C19), dextromethorphan (CYP2D6), dapsone (CYP3A4), 7-hydroxycoumarin (CYP2A6), bupropion (CYP2B6), and amodiaquine (CYP2C8), in rat plasma using diazepam as internal standard (IS). The chromatographic separation was performed on a Waters XBridge™ C18 column (2.1 mm × 100 mm, 3.5 μm) using a gradient elution with the mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and water (containing 0.1% formic acid) at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min. The method was successfully applied in evaluating the effect of Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata and red ginseng on the activities of CYP450 enzymes. The pharmacokinetic results of the eight probe drugs suggested that Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata may inhibit the activity of CYP2A6, CYP2C19, CYP2B6, CYP1A2, CYP3A4, and CYP2C9 enzymes in rats. Comparison between the two groups, Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata combined with red ginseng and Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata, indicated that red ginseng may inhibit the activity of CYP2D6 and CYP2B6 enzymes while inducing the activity of CYP1A2, CYP3A4, and CYP2C9 enzymes.

Abstract A liquid chromatographic method with fluorescence detection was developed for simultaneous determination of norfloxacin, ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, pefloxacin, lomefloxacin, danofloxacin, enrofloxacin, sarafloxacin, difloxacin, oxolinic acid, and flumequine in milk. The samples were extracted with 10% trichloroacetic acid/acetonitrile (9 + 1, v/v) and cleaned by Strata-X reversed-phase solid-phase extraction cartridges. The 11 quinolones were separated on a reversed-phase C18 column (Hypersil BDS-C18) with mobile phase gradient elution and detected with fluorescence by means of a wavelength program. The recoveries for milk fortified with the 11 quinolones at 3 levels were 69–88%, with acceptable relative standard deviations of &lt;9% (intraday) and &lt;14% (interday). The limits of detection were 23 μg/L for enrofloxacin, and 1–9 μg/L for the other 10 quinolones.

Abstract We have developed two methods for measuring the alpha-tocopherol content in plasma and lipoproteins (LDL and HDL). In procedure 1, plasma or lipoproteins are deproteinized with ethanol containing delta-tocopherol as internal standard and then extracted with hexane or ethyl acetate. The organic layer is removed and evaporated, and the residue is redissolved in methanol and injected into a reversed-phase HPLC. In procedure 2, plasma or lipoproteins are diluted in a methanol and ethanol mixture containing the same internal standard. The solution is vortex-mixed, centrifuged, and directly injected into the column. The tocopherols are eluted with an isocratic methanol mobile phase at a flow rate of 1 mL/min and detected by fluorescence (lambda(exc)= 295 nm, lambda(em)= 330nm). Recoveries are approximately 100% in both cases. Between-run CVs were 8.39% for procedure 1 and 6.55% for procedure 2. Small sample requirement, simplicity of sample preparation, short assay time, and good reproducibility make procedure 2 ideal for clinical or research use. This method was applied to determination of alpha-tocopherol in plasma of patients whose diet was supplemented with alpha-tocopherol and in LDL and HDL.
