Abstract Background: The concentration of thiamin diphosphate (TDP) in erythrocytes is a useful index of thiamin status. We describe an HPLC method for TDP and its results in patients at risk of thiamin deficiency. Methods: We used reversed-phase HPLC with postcolumn derivatization with alkaline potassium ferricyanide and fluorescence detection. Samples were deproteinized and injected directly onto a C18 column. TDP concentrations in erythrocytes were compared with those in whole blood. Reference intervals for erythrocyte TDP (n = 147; 79 males and 68 females; mean age, 54 years) and whole blood TDP (n = 124; 68 males and 56 females; mean age, 54 years) were determined in an apparently healthy population. We compared erythrocyte TDP with results of the erythrocyte transketolase activation test in 63 patients who were considered at risk of thiamin deficiency. Results: The method was linear to at least 200 μg/L. The between-run CV was <8%. The lower limit of quantification for both whole blood and packed erythrocytes was 300 pg on column with a detection limit of 130 pg on column. Recovery of TDP from blood samples was >90%. TDP in erythrocytes correlated strongly with that in whole blood (r = 0.97). Reference intervals for erythrocyte and whole blood TDP were 280–590 ng/g hemoglobin and 275–675 ng/g hemoglobin, respectively. Of the 63 patients suspected of thiamin deficiency, 46 were normal by both TDP and activation tests, 13 were deficient by both tests, 1 was deficient by the activation test but had normal erythrocyte TDP concentrations, and 4 were normal by the activation test but had low TDP. Conclusions: The HPLC method is precise and yields results similar to the erythrocyte activation assay.

Abstract Background: Thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency is associated with severe diseases such as beriberi and Wernicke encephalopathy. Although most Americans have sufficient dietary intake, thiamine deficiency is observed in the alcohol-dependent and elderly populations. Measurement of thiamine concentration in whole blood provides an assessment of vitamin B1 status in at-risk individuals. Method: We used TCA to precipitate proteins in whole blood. Thiamine and its phosphate esters were derivatized using potassium ferricyanide to thiochromes, which were separated by gradient elution on a reversed-phase HPLC column and detected by fluorescence. The method was validated for linearity, limit of quantification, imprecision, accuracy, and interference. Results obtained with this method were compared with those produced by the method currently used in our clinical laboratory. Reference values of thiamine and its phosphate esters were determined in samples obtained from self-reported healthy adults who were not taking vitamin supplements. To shorten analysis time, our method used whole blood rather than washed erythrocytes, did not require lengthy enzymatic dephosphorylation, and had a simple mobile phase. Results: The method was linear to 4000 nmol/L. The lower limit of quantification was 3 nmol/L. The within-run CV was <3.5% and total CV was <9.4%. This method correlated with our current method (r = 0.97). Approximately 90% of the total thiamine content in whole blood was present as thiamine diphosphate (TDP). The means (ranges) for an apparently healthy population were 114 (70–179) nmol/L for TDP and 125 (75–194) nmol/L for total thiamine. Results for separation and measurement of free thiamine and thiamine phosphate esters in whole blood were obtained within 5.5 min. Conclusion: We developed an HPLC method that allows separation and measurement of free thiamine and thiamine phosphate esters in whole blood and provides more rapid results than other methods.

Abstract During phase I/II clinical trials of sirolimus (rapamycin; SRL), therapeutic drug monitoring was performed with a multistep liquid-liquid extraction of 1-mL aliquots of whole blood followed by reversed-phase HPLC with ultraviolet detection. Blood was sampled according to a standardized protocol and clinical status. SRL concentrations were interpolated from calibration curves with a linear range of 0-50 micrograms/L and 1 microgram/L lower limit of quantification. Quality control was monitored over 68 consecutive analytical runs by using frozen aliquots of SRL-supplemented pooled whole blood at 4, 12, and 32 micrograms/L. These samples showed mean concentrations of 3.7 +/- 0.6, 10.9 +/- 1.1, and 29.6 +/- 2.6 micrograms/L, respectively. This method for therapeutic drug monitoring of SRL permits one full-time technician to analyze 100 clinical specimens per week with a 24-h turnaround time. With this method, a strong linear relation (r2 = 0.946, Sy/x = 0.41, n = 115) between the average SRL concentration over a 24-h period and the SRL concentration at the 24th h was revealed.

A simple, fast, and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (RP-HPLC) method has been developed and validated for determining of a cannabinoid derivate, which displays potent antihyperalgesic activity, 1-naphthalenyl[4-(pentyloxy)-1-naphthalenyl]methanone (CB13) into PLGA nanoparticles. Separation was achieved in a C18 column using a mobile phase consisting of two solvents: solvent A, consisting of acetonitrile : water : acetic acid (75 : 23.7 : 1.3 v/v), and solvent B, consisting of acetonitrile. An isocratic method (70 : 30 v/v), with a flow rate of 1.000 mL/min, and a diode array detector were used. The developed method was precise, accurate, and linear over the concentration range of analysis with a limit of detection and a limit of quantification of 0.5 and 1.25 μg/mL, respectively. The developed method was applied to the analysis of CB13 in nanoparticles samples obtained by three different procedures (SEV, FF, and NPP) in terms of encapsulation efficiency and drug release. Nanoparticles size and size distribution were also evaluated founding that NPP method presented the most lowest particle sizes with narrow-size distribution (≈320 nm) and slightly negative zeta potential (≈−25 mV) which presumes a suitable procedure for the synthesis of PLGA-CB13 nanoparticles for oral administration.

A stability-indicating assay by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method was developed for the determination of pentobarbital sodium in oral formulations: a drug used for infant sedation in computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. The chromatographic separation was achieved on a reversed-phase C18 column, using isocratic elution and a detector set at 214 nm. The optimized mobile phase consisted of a 0.01 M potassium buffer pH 3 and methanol (40 : 60, v/v). The flow rate was 1.0 mL/min and the run time of analysis was 5 min. The linearity of the method was demonstrated in the range of 5 to 250 μg/mL pentobarbital sodium solution (r2= 0.999). The limit of detection and limit of quantification were 2.10 and 3.97 μg/mL, respectively. The intraday and interday precisions were less than 2.1%. Accuracy of the method ranged from 99.2 to 101.3%. Stability studies indicate that the drug is stable to sunlight and in aqueous solution. Accelerated pentobarbital sodium breakdown by strong alkaline, acidic, or oxidative stress produced noninterfering peaks. This method allows accurate and reliable determination of pentobarbital sodium for drug stability assay in pharmaceutical studies.

A reversed phase high performance liquid chromatographic (RP–HPLC) method was developed and subsequently validated for the determination of atomoxetine hydrochloride in bulk and pharmaceutical formulation. The separation was done by a PerkinElmer Brownlee analytical C8 column (260 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 µm) using methanol: 50 mM KH2PO2buffer (PH adjusted to 6.8 with 0.1 M NaOH), 80:20 v/v as an eluent. UV detection was performed at 270 nm at a flow rate 1.0 mL/min. The validation of the method was performed, and specificity, reproducibility, precision accuracy and ruggedness were confirmed. The correlation coefficient was found to be 0.997 for atomoxetine hydrochloride. The recovery was in the range of 99.94 to 100.98% and limit of quantification was found to be 5.707 µg/mL. The method is simple, rapid, selective and economical too and can be used for the routine analysis of drug in pharmaceutical formulations.
