Peracetic acid (PAA) is a corrosive chemical with a pungent odor, which is extensively used in occupational settings and causes various health hazards in exposed workers. Currently, there is no US government agency recommended method that could be applied universally for the sampling and analysis of PAA. Legacy methods for determining airborne PAA vapor levels frequently suffered from cross-reactivity with other chemicals, particularly hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Therefore, to remove the confounding factor of cross-reactivity, a new viable, sensitive method was developed for assessment of PAA exposure levels, based on the differential reaction kinetics of PAA with methyl p-tolylsulfide (MTS), relative to H2O2, to preferentially derive methyl p-tolysulfoxide (MTSO). By quantifying MTSO concentration produced in the liquid capture solution from an air sampler, using an internal standard, and utilizing the reaction stoichiometry of PAA and MTS, the original airborne concentration of PAA is determined. After refining this liquid trap high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method in the laboratory, it was tested in five workplace settings where PAA products were used. PAA levels ranged from the detection limit of 0.013 parts per million (ppm) to 0.4 ppm. The results indicate a viable and potentially dependable method to assess the concentrations of PAA vapors under occupational exposure scenarios, though only a small number of field measurements were taken while field testing this method. However, the low limit of detection and precision offered by this method makes it a strong candidate for further testing and validation to expand the uses of this liquid trap HPLC method.

Aim: A new simple and sensitive high-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) method for the determination of a potent synthetic cannabinoid THJ-2201, has been developed and validated. Lixiviptan was used as the Internal Standard (IS). Methods: THJ-2201 and IS were extracted from mouse plasma using deproteinization procedure that uses acetonitrile followed by HPLC analysis. The separation was carried out on a reversed-phase C18 column using water and acetonitrile mixture (30:70 v/v). The flow-rate was 1.0 mL/min. Eluting of both THJ-2201 and lixivaptan was performed at 220 nm. Results: The method demonstrated linearity over a calibration range of 95 - 1500 ng/mL and the Limit of Detection (LOD) and Quantitation (LOQ) were 28 ng/mL and 91 ng/mL, respectively. The validation of the proposed method was carried out by following the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines. Intra- and inter-day precision did not exceed 6.4%, whereas the accuracy of THJ-2201 measurements was within ±13%. Conclusion: This new method is simple and sensitive and has been applied successfully in a pharmacokinetic study of THJ-2201 in mouse plasma. The mean values of Tmax and Cmax were 0.25 h and 141.87 ± 12.11 ng/mL, respectively.

A simple, accurate, sensitive and reproducible reverse phase high performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the quantitative determination of Etoricoxib in pharmaceutical dosage forms. The assay was performed on Hypersil ODS C-18 (250 x 4.6 mm., 5µm particle size) column using acetonitrile and potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer (pH 4.2) (46:54 % v/v) as mobile phase with UV detection at 280 nm (flow rate 1.2 ml/min). Bromhexine was used as an internal standard. Quantization was achieved by measurement of the peak area ratio of the drug to the internal standard. The limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantification (LOQ) were 0.0704 µg ml-1and 0.2134 µg ml-1respectively. Each analysis required no longer than 10 minutes. The calibration curve was linear over the concentration range from 0.5-85.0 µg ml-1. The retention times of Etoricoxib and Bromhexine were found to be 3.083 and 7.631 minutes respectively. The proposed method was validated according to the ICH guidelines and can be used successfully to analyse marketed formulations.

Abstract "High-performance" liquid-chromatographic (HPLC) methods have been developed for identifying 1-substituted 2-alkyl-3-hydroxypyrid-4-one iron chelators in serum and urine. Ion pairing with heptane- or octanesulfonic acid in pH 2.0-2.2 phosphate buffer and reversed-phase chromatography were required to separate these compounds from endogenous compounds in both biological fluids. In both the 2-methyl and 2-ethyl series of 1-substituted compounds (H, methyl, ethyl, or propyl) the elution times increased in accordance with the n-octanol/water partition coefficients (propyl greater than ethyl greater than H greater than methyl). Urine samples were filtered (0.4 microns pore size) and injected either undiluted or after dilution with elution buffer. After the addition of internal standard, the plasma or serum samples were deproteinized by treatment with HCIO4, 0.5 mol/L, centrifuged, and the supernates were injected directly onto the HPLC. Using these procedures, we could identify 1,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxypyrid-4-one (L1) in the serum and urine of a thalassemic patient who had received a 3-g dose of the drug and in the urine of other patients who had received the same dose. One or more possible metabolites were also observed in the chromatograms of both urine and serum. The 24-h urinary output of L1 (0.22-2.37 g) and iron (10.6-71.5 mg) varied but there was no correlation between the two with respect to quantity or concentration. Instead, urinary iron output was higher in patients with a greater number of transfused units of erythrocytes. This is the first study in humans to show that L1 is absorbed from the gut, enters the circulation, and is excreted in the urine.

Anastrozole, an aromatase inhibitor drug, is used for the treatment of breast cancer in pre- and postmenopausal women. Anastrozole’s incorporation into nanoparticulate carriers would enhance its therapeutic performance. To perceive the exact loaded amount of drug in nanocarriers, a valid analytical method is required. The reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method was developed and validated by using the C18 column, 150 × 4.6 mm, 5 µm particle size, in isocratic mobile phase composed of 50:50 V/V (volume/volume) acetonitrile–phosphate buffer (pH 3) flowing at a rate of 1.0 mL/min, and a diode array detector (DAD) set at λmax = 215 nm. The validation parameters such as linearity, accuracy, specificity, precision, and robustness have proven the accuracy of the method, with the relative standard deviation percentage (% RSD) values < 2. The limit of detection of the method was found equal to 0.0150 µg/mL, and the limit of quantitation was 0.0607 µg/mL. The percent recovery of sample was in the range of 98.04–99.25%. The method has the advantage of being rapid with a drug retention time of 2.767 min, specific in terms of resolution of peaks void of interference with any of the excipients, and high reproducibility. This makes it highly applicable for quality control purposes.

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.
