Abstract A specific radioimmunoassay involving a mouse monoclonal antibody to cyclosporine has been developed for monitoring the parent drug in blood. Pretreatment with methanol removes cyclosporine from the erythrocytes. The limit of detection is about 12 micrograms/L, sample volume is 50 microL of blood, and within- and between-assay CVs are less than 7%. Assay results correlated well with those obtained by "high-performance" liquid chromatography (HPLC) for liver (n = 42), for heart (n = 64), for bone-marrow (n = 36), and for kidney (n = 140). For blood specimens obtained from patients treated with cyclosporine postoperatively for as long as 65 months, the mean RIA/HPLC ratio in all with transplant indications was close to 1. Therefore, the specific radioimmunoassay apparently can be used instead of HPLC to measure the parent drug in blood.

Abstract A radioimmunoassay of cyclosporine (Sandimmune) involving use of a mouse monoclonal antibody was tested to monitor specifically the parent drug in plasma. The cyclosporine concentrations obtained by RIA were compared with those obtained by the HPLC method. For the RIA method, the within- and between-assay CVs are less than 6%, the limit of detection is about 10 micrograms/L for a 50-microL sample of plasma. For the HPLC method, the within- and between-assay CVs are less than 20%, the limit of detection is about 15 micrograms/L for a 1-mL sample of plasma. The concentrations by RIA correlated well with those by HPLC in samples from patients receiving bone-marrow (n = 39), heart (n = 52), or liver (n = 51) transplants. In all indications, the ratio of values by RIA to those by HPLC for these samples remained stable and close to 1 during the drug-monitoring period, i.e., for up to 202 days. Therefore, the specific RIA can be used instead of HPLC to measure the parent drug in plasma.

Background: Sirolimus is an immunosuppressive agent used after organ transplantation. Monitoring its concentration is clinically relevant, but current methods of measurement using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) are demanding. An immunoassay that uses readily available equipment offers a more convenient alternative. Methods: Blood specimens from transplant patients were assayed for sirolimus by an existing HPLC method with ultraviolet (UV) detection and by the Abbott microparticle enzyme immunoassay (MEIA). Within-run and between-day precision was assessed with duplicate analyses. Accuracy was assessed by comparison of results from the MEIA and HPLC assays, and from recovery experiments. Specificity was tested in specimens from patients taking alternative immunosuppressants. Results: Using specimens with sirolimus concentrations between 3.3 and 39.3 µg/L, within-batch and between-batch coefficients of variation (CVs) were 6.8% and 6.3%, respectively. Using control specimens with mean concentrations of 4.1, 12.1 and 25.4 µg/L, the respective CVs were 8.6%, 3.1% and 3.8 %. Using a Passing-Bablok regression technique, the regression equation was MEIA = 14; 1.26 x HPLC-1.97; the mean bias was 0.96 µg/L. Specimens from patients on cyclosporin and tacrolimus as the sole immunosuppressant had apparent sirolimus concentrations of <1 µg/L. Conclusion: The MEIA assay for sirolimus provides clinically useful information within an accessible format.

A reliable and reproducible reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) was developed for the quantitative determination of Remipril drug content from marketed bulk tablets. The active ingredient of Remipril separation achieved with C18 column using the methanol water mobile phase in the ratio of 40:60 (v/v). The active ingredient of the drug content quantify with UV detector at 215 nm. The retention time of Remipril is 5.63 min. A good linearity relation (R2=0.999) was obtained between drug concentration and average peak areas. The limit of detection and limit of quantification of the instrument were calculated 0.03 and 0.09 µg/mL, respectively. The accuracy of the method validation was determined 102.72% by recoveries method.

This study was designed to develop and validate a simple and efficient high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method to determine flunixin concentrations in Asian elephant’s (Elephas maximus) plasma. Flunixin was administered orally at a dose of 0.8 mg/kg, and blood samples were collected. Flunixin extraction was performed by adding an equal amount of acetonitrile to plasma and centrifuging at 4500 rpm for 25 minutes. The supernatant was removed, and flunixin was analyzed using HPLC-UV detection. Two methods were developed and tested utilizing two different mobile phases either with or without adding methanol (ACN: H2O vs. ACN: H2O: MeOH). Both methods showed excellent linearity and reproducibility. The limit of detection was 0.05 ug/ml and limit of quantification was 0.1 ug/ml. the efficiency of flunixin recovery was maximized by the addition of methanol to mobile phase (ACN: H2O: MeOH as 50:30:20) at 95% in comparison to 23% without methanol. In conclusion, adding methanol to HPLC methods for extraction of flunixin from elephants’ plasma yielded higher recovery rate than without methanol.

AbstractTh accurate rapid, simple and selective reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) has been established and validated for the determination of captopril (CAP). Chromatographic separation was accomplished using prepacked ODSI C18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm with 5 μm particle size) in isocratic mode, with mobile phase consisting of water: acetonitrile (60:40 v/v), pH adjusted to 2.5 by using 85% orthophosphoric acid at a flow rate of 1 mL/min and UV detection was performed at 203 nm. RP-HPLC method used for the analysis of CAP in mobile phase and rabbit plasma was established and validated as per ICH-guidelines. It was carried out on a well-defined chromatographic peak of CAP was established with a retention time of 4.9 min and tailing factor of 1.871. The liquid–liquid extraction method was used for extraction of CAP from the plasma. Excellent linearity (R2 = 0.999) was shown over range 3.125–100 µg/mL with mean percentage recoveries ranges from 97 to 100.6%. Parameters of precision and accuracy of the developed method meet the established criteria. Intra and inter-day precision (% relative standard deviation) study was also performed which was less than 2% which indicate good reproducibility of the method. The limit of detection (LOD) and quantification for the CAP in plasma were 3.10 and 9.13 ng/mL respectively. The method was suitably validated and successfully applied to the determination of CAP in rabbit plasma samples.

A highly sensitive method for the separation and quantitative measurement of phospholipids containing primary amino groups, such as phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine and lysophosphatidylethanolamine, is described. The method involves a simple and quantitative derivative formation of the phospholipids containing amino groups to their u.v.-absorbing biphenylcarbonyl derivatives. These have molar extinction coefficients of about 23,000 at 268nm. The phospholipid derivatives are then separated and non-destructively determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. The amino phospholipids containing vinyl ether bonds (plasmalogens) can be determined separately from the diacyl- and alkylacyl-amino phospholipids. The lower limit of detection by high-performance liquid-chromatographic analysis of the phospholipid derivatives is about 10-13pmol or 0.3-0.4ng of phospholipid P. The quantitative range of derivative formation and analysis by high-performance liquid chromatography of the phospholipids containing amino groups was shown to be 10-500nmol. The method was shown to be applicable to the analysis of phospholipids containing amino groups in tissue samples.

Abstract We report a simple and rapid procedure for assaying 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) in plasma by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The standard curve for the assay is linear for 8-MOP from 15 to 500 micrograms/L (y = 0.002x-0.01, r = 0.99) with a lower limit of detection of 1.5 micrograms/L. Intra-assay precision (CV) was 6.0% at the 100 micrograms/L concentration and 10.0% at 50 micrograms/L (n = 30 each). Interassay precision was 6.4% at 100 micrograms/L and 7.0% at 50 micrograms/L (n = 50 each). Extraction recovery of 8-MOP was 98%. Common antiarrhythmics, sedatives, and hypnotics were found not to interfere.

Abstract This study established a rapid and reliable method to determine chloramphenicol (CAP), thiamphenicol (TAP) and florfenicol (FF) residues in Chinese gelatin medicines. CAP, TAP and FF were extracted from medicine samples using 2% (v/v) ammonium hydroxide in acetonitrile. Trypsin was used to eliminate the matrix effect caused by protein components in gelatin medicines, whereas anhydrous sodium sulfate, C18-N and NH2-PSA adsorbents were applied to reduce matrix effect induced by other components. The analytical method of these drugs was optimized on ultra high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometer (UHPLC-MS/MS) through the analysis of their standard linearity and regression. The optimized extraction and analytical method were validated in one Chinese gelatin medicine sample (Colla corii asini, E Jiao) with three fortification levels (2, 5 and 10 μg/kg), and the recoveries of these drug residues ranged of 87.6–102.7%. The limit of detection and quantification of CAP, TAP and FF in the sample were 0.2 and 0.5 μg/kg, 0.4 and 1.5 μg/kg, and 0.5 and 1.5 μg/kg, respectively. A total of 30 Chinese gelatin medicine samples were analyzed using the established method. No drug residues were found in these samples except for one Testudinis Carapacis et Plastri (1.67 μg/kg FF) and one turtle shell glue (2.55 μg/kg FF).
