Abstract Our earlier method to detect and quantitate sulfamethazine (SMZ) in milk at the 10 ppb level was modified to quantitate SMZ in pork tissue. Sulfabromomethazine (SBZ) is added to the tissue as an internal standard. SMZ and SBZ are extracted from the tissue into water as the supernatant of a centrifuged, aqueous homogenate and are cleaned up and concentrated by a series of solid-phase extractions. The sulfonamide-containing eluate is then separated on a silica gel thin-layer chromatographic plate. SBZ and SMZ are derivatized with fluorescamine, and their fluorescence is quantitated with a scanning densitometer. The limit of detection was estimated at 0.25 ppb (signal-to-noise ratio, 3:1). The average accuracy over the analysis range (0.54-21.8 ppb [μg/kg]) was 95.6% (standard deviation = 29.4%, n = 54).

Laser-based photoacoustic densitometry was applied to two-dimensional analysis in thin-layer chromatography. An acousto-optic device was used to provide both intensity modulation and a rastering scan. The spatial resolution is 25 × 60 spots for an area of 25 × 50 mm on the thin-layer chromatographic plate. Three detection modes, normal modulation, resonant modulation, and unmodulated rapid scan modes were compared. Detection limits in the most sensitive mode and in the fastest mode are 350 pg with scan time of 153 s and 6.9 ng with scan time of 1.5 s, respectively.

Abstract Background: Microcystins, as secondary metabolites of cyanobacteria, are hepatotoxic to humans through the ingestion of cyanobacteria-contaminated water. Microcystins with diverse congeners in water can be precisely quantified using online solid phase extraction-ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (online-SPE UPLC-MS/MS). A method was developed and validated to simultaneously quantify eight microcystin congeners in water using online-SPE UPLC-MS/MS.Results: The method achieved the highest efficiency and sensitivity by selecting acetonitrile with 0.1% formic acid and water with 0.1% formic acid as the best mobile phase conditions. Linearity, accuracy, and precision were validated on matrix-mixed water with the leucine enkephalin internal standard. The limit of detection calculated using the signal-to-noise ratio of 3 passed the surface water daily inspection for microcystins. Except for the lower recovery of individual substances at individual concentrations, the recoveries of the remaining microcystin congeners ranged from 70 to 130%, and the relative standard deviation was less than 10%.Conclusion: The method was used to analyze microcystins in 12 water samples collected from Chaohu Lake. The sum of all microcystin congeners ranged from 101 to 585 ng L-1 in water (<WHO drinking water safe limit of 1 μg L-1 for microcystin-LR).

<p><strong>Objective: </strong>A simple, sensitive, precise, and accurate stability indicating HPTLC (high-performance thin-layer chromatography) method for analysis of 10-gingerol in ginger has been developed and validated as perICH guidelines.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The separation was achieved on TLC (thin layer chromatography) aluminum plates pre-coated with silica gel 60F<sub>254</sub> using n-hexane: ethyl acetate 55:45 (%, v/v) as a mobile phase. Densitometric analysis was performed at 569 nm.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>This system was found to have a compact spot of 10-gingerol at <em>R</em><sub>F</sub> value of 0.57±0.03. For the proposed procedure, linearity (<em>r</em><sup>2</sup> = 0.998±0.02), limit of detection (18ng/spot), limit of quantification (42 ng/spot), recovery (ranging from 98.35%–100.68%), were found to be satisfactory.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Statistical analysis reveals that the content of 10-gingerol in different geographical region varied significantly. The highest and lowest concentration of 10-gingerol in ginger was found to be present in a sample of Patna, Lucknow and Surat respectively which inferred that the variety of ginger found in Patna, Lucknow are much superior to other regions of India.</p>

A simple and efficient solid-phase extraction – spectrofluorimetric method has been developed to determine glutathione (GSH). Fluorescent probe N-(4,4-difluoro-5,7-dimethyl-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene-3-yl)methyl)iodoacetamide (BODIPY Fl-C1-IA) was used as the derivatization reagent. The procedure was based on a BODIPY Fl-C1-IA selective reaction with GSH to form the highly fluorescent product BODIPY Fl-C1-IA–GSH, using a solid-phase extraction column and spectrofluorimetric determination. The variables affecting analytical performance were studied and optimized. The calibration graph using the preconcentration system for GSH was linear over the range of 1–200 nmol/L with a limit of detection of 0.05 nmol/L (signal-to-noise ratio = 3). The relative standard deviation for six replicate determinations of GSH at the 100 nmol/L concentration level was 3.9%. The method was applied to water samples and average recoveries between 87.5% and 111.5% were obtained for spiked samples.

Abstract A method has been developed for the detection of aflatoxin Mi in milk. The toxin is extracted with chloroform, the extract is evaporated, and the residue is partitioned between carbon tetrachloride and an aqueous saline-methanol solution. The toxin is once again extracted with chloroform from the methanol solution and analyzed by thin layer chromatography. The limit of detection of Mi in powdered milk is 0.5 μg/ kg; recoveries of added Mj are about 83%. The limit of detection can be improved to 0.3 μg/kg if the plate is sprayed with an aqueous solution of H2S04 after development.

A new approach for the sensitive, robust and rapid determination of idarubicin (IDA) in human plasma and urine samples based on liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (LC-FL) was developed. Satisfactory chromatographic separation of the analyte after solid-phase extraction (SPE) was performed on a Discovery HS C18 analytical column using a mixture of acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid in water as the mobile phase in isocratic mode. IDA and daunorubicin hydrochloride used as an internal standard (I.S.) were monitored at the excitation and emission wavelengths of 487 and 547 nm, respectively. The method was validated according to the FDA and ICH guidelines. The linearity was confirmed in the range of 0.1–50 ng/mL and 0.25–200 ng/mL, while the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.05 and 0.125 ng/mL in plasma and urine samples, respectively. The developed LC-FL method was successfully applied for drug determinations in human plasma and urine after oral administration of IDA at a dose of 10 mg to a patient with highly advanced alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (RMA). Moreover, the potential exposure to IDA present in both fluids for healthcare workers and the caregivers of patients has been evaluated. The present LC-FL method can be a useful tool in pharmacokinetic and clinical investigations, in the monitoring of chemotherapy containing IDA, as well as for sensitive and reliable IDA quantitation in biological fluids.
