Pharmacokinetic Behavior

Individualized quinidine dosing through the assessment of serum concentrations is warranted because of the wide variability observed in its pharmacokinetic behavior and its reported narrow therapeutic index. The free fraction of quinidine also varies widely. Thus the development of procedures that could be widely used to determine quinidine free concentrations would be highly desirable. It was the purpose of this study to evaluate several procedures available to determine total serum quinidine concentrations (rate nephelometry [ICS], homogenous enzyme immunoassay [EMIT], and high-performance liquid chromatography [HPLC]). Furthermore, in samples from 46 patients, equilibrium dialysis and ultrafiltration procedures were compared for their ability to estimate quinidine free fraction. Finally, unbound concentrations of quinidine were compared using a modified EMIT procedure and a standard HPLC method to quantitate quinidine in ultrafiltrates from patient samples. For the measurement of total quinidine concentrations, reasonable agreement was seen when EMIT and ICS systems were compared with HPLC (ICS = 1.03 · HPLC +0.96, r=0.93;EMIT= 1.08 · HPLC + 0.38, r=0.93) The mean errors, however, for these procedures were high (ICS +70 percent, range +7 to +233 percent; EMIT + 35 percent, range 0 to 110 percent). Quinidine free fractions (QFF) determined by equilibrium dialysis (E) and ultrafiltration (U) showed good agreement (QFF(U) = 1.11 · QFF(E) + 0.0; r = 0.96). Unbound quinidine concentration determined by EMIT analysis of ultrafiltrate substantially overestimated the values obtained by HPLC analysis (mean error by EMIT 104 ± 59 percent). It is concluded that HPLC is the method of choice for determining both total and unbound serum quinidine concentrations. The EMIT procedure on average produces acceptable error for the measurement of total quinidine concentrations; however, errors greater than 100 percent do occur. Thus, caution should be used when interpreting the results of the EMIT procedure. For determining unbound concentrations the EMIT produces unacceptable error and the HPLC method should be used to obtain reliable estimates of free quinidine concentrations.

Serum Quinidine

Abstract The cardioactive drug quinidine has a narrow therapeutic index; consequently, determination of serum quinidine concentrations can be important. We describe a relatively rapid and specific assay for quinidine in serum by high-performance liquid chromatography. It is suitable for use in patient monitoring or pharmacodynamic studies. Alkalinized serum is extracted with benzene, which is evaporated under nitrogen and reconstituted with methanol; an aliquot is chromatographed. Quinidine is separated from its metabolites and dihydroquinidine (a contaminant in quinidine raw materials). The retention time for quinidine is 4 min 10 s, for dihydroquinidine it is 5.5 min. Results for patients' sera by this assay method and the double-extraction method of Cramer and Isaksson [Scand. J. Clin. Lab. Invest. 15, 553 (1963] correlate well (r = .975).

Intravenous Amiodarone

While the antiarrhythmic drug amiodarone is commonly used in clinical practice, it has a narrow therapeutic index that can lead to acute overdose. One proposed method to deal with this toxicity is lipid emulsion therapy, which may potentially quench the free amiodarone in blood and prevent its further distribution to target organs and tissues. In this study, we utilize an established swine model to examine the effects of Intralipid™ (IL) administration for acute amiodarone toxicity. A total of 14 pigs received an overdose of intravenous amiodarone. After twenty minutes, half of the pigs (n = 7) received IL while the control group (n = 7) received normal saline. Serum concentrations of amiodarone were then analyzed using a validated high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. Noncompartmental pharmacokinetic analyses were performed on the observed concentrations. There were no statistical differences in the area under the concentration time curve (6 h) or clearance, but there was a difference in the half-life between the two groups (3.12 vs. 0.85 h, p = 0.01). The administration of IL did not statistically change the overall exposure of amiodarone in the blood in the first 6 h; however, trends toward prolonged blood retention in the IL group were seen.

ABSTRACT The objective of the present retrospective observational study carried out in patients receiving a standard dosage of linezolid and undergoing routine therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) was to assess the interindividual variability in plasma exposure, to identify the prevalence of attainment of optimal pharmacodynamics, and to define if an intensive program of TDM may be warranted in some categories of patients. Linezolid plasma concentrations (trough [C min] and peak [C max] levels) were analyzed by means of a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method, and daily drug exposure was estimated (daily area under the plasma concentration-time curve [AUC24]). The final database included 280 C min and 223 C max measurements performed in 92 patients who were treated with the fixed 600-mg dose every 12 h (q12h) intravenously (n = 58) or orally (n = 34). A wide variability was observed (median values [interquartile range]: 3.80 mg/liter [1.75 to 7.53 mg/liter] for C min, 14.70 mg/liter [10.57 to 19.64] for C max, and 196.08 mg·h/liter [144.02 to 312.10 mg·h/liter] for estimated AUC24). Linezolid C min was linearly correlated with estimated AUC24 (r 2 = 0.85). Optimal pharmacodynamic target attainment (defined as C min of ≥2 mg/liter and/or AUC24/MIC90 ratio of >80) was obtained in about 60 to 70% of cases, but potential overexposure (defined as C min of ≥10 mg/liter and/or AUC24 of ≥400 mg·h/liter) was documented in about 12% of cases. A significantly higher proportion of cases with potential overexposure received cotreatment with omeprazole, amiodarone, or amlodipine. Our study suggests that the application of TDM might be especially worthwhile in about 30% of cases with the intent of avoiding either the risk of dose-dependent toxicity or that of treatment failure.

Background: Allergic diseases are considered as the major burden on public health with increased prevalence globally. Histamine H1-receptor antagonists are the foremost commonly used drugs in the treatment of allergic disorders. The target drug in this study, loratadine, belongs to this class of drugs and its biometabolite desloratadine which is also a non-sedating H1 receptor antagonist with anti-histaminic activity being 2.5 to 4 times greater than loratadine. This study aimed to develop and validate a novel isocratic Reversed-phase High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC) method for rapid and simultaneous separation and determination of loratadine and its metabolite, desloratadine in human plasma. Methods: The drug extraction method from plasma was based on protein precipitation technique. The separation was carried out on a Thermo Scientific BDS Hypersil C18 column (5μm, 250 x 4.60 mm) in a mobile phase of MeOH: 0.025M KH2PO4 adjusted to pH 3.50 using orthophosphoric acid (85: 15, v/v) at an ambient temperature. The flow rate was maintained at 1 mL/min and maximum absorption was measured using the PDA detector at 248 nm. Results: The retention times of loratadine and desloratadine in plasma samples were recorded to be 4.10 and 5.08 minutes, respectively, indicating a short analysis time. Limits of detection were found to be 1.80 and 1.97 ng/mL for loratadine and desloratadine, respectively, showing a high degree of sensitivity of the method. The method was then validated according to FDA guidelines for the determination of the two analytes in human plasma. Conclusion: The results obtained indicate that the proposed method is rapid, sensitive in the nanogram range, accurate, selective, robust and reproducible compared to other reported methods.

Aim and scope: Due to the serious toxicological risks and their widespread use, quantitative determination of phthalates in cosmetic products have importance for public health. The aim of this study was to develop a validated simple, rapid and reliable high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for the determination of phthalates which are; dimethyl phthalate (DMP), diethyl phthalate (DEP), benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP), di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP), di(2- ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), in cosmetic products and to investigate these phthalate (PHT) levels in 48 cosmetic products marketing in Sivas, Turkey. Materials and Methods: Separation was achieved by a reverse-phase ACE-5 C18 column (4.6 x 250 mm, 5.0 μm). As the mobile phase, 5 mM KH2PO4 and acetonitrile were used gradiently at 1.5 ml min-1. All PHT esters were detected at 230 nm and the run time was taking 21 minutes. Results: This method showed the high sensitivity value the limit of quantification (LOQ) values for which are below 0.64 μg mL-1 of all phthalates. Method linearity was ≥0.999 (r2). Accuracy and precision values of all phthalates were calculated between (-6.5) and 6.6 (RE%) and ≤6.2 (RSD%), respectively. Average recovery was between 94.8% and 99.6%. Forty-eight samples used for both babies and adults were successfully analyzed by the developed method. Results have shown that, DMP (340.7 μg mL-1 ±323.7), DEP (1852.1 μg mL-1 ± 2192.0), and DBP (691.3 μg mL-1 ± 1378.5) were used highly in nail polish, fragrance and cream products, respectively. Conclusion: Phthalate esters, which are mostly detected in the content of fragrance, cream and nail polish products and our research in general, are DEP (1852.1 μg mL-1 ± 2192.0), DBP (691.3 μg mL-1 ± 1378.5) and DMP (340.7 μg mL-1 ±323.7), respectively. Phthalates were found in the content of all 48 cosmetic products examined, and the most detected phthalates in general average were DEP (581.7 μg mL-1 + 1405.2) with a rate of 79.2%. The unexpectedly high phthalate content in the examined cosmetic products revealed a great risk of these products on human health. The developed method is a simple, sensitive, reliable and economical alternative for the determination of phthalates in the content of cosmetic products, it can be used to identify phthalate esters in different products after some modifications.

Patulin (PAT) and citrinin (CTN) are the most common mycotoxins produced by Penicillium and Aspergillus species and are often associated with fruits and fruit by-products. Hence, simple and reliable methods for monitoring these toxins in foodstuffs are required for regular quality assessment. In this study, we aimed to establish a cost-effective method for detection and quantification of PAT and CTN in pome fruits, such as apples and pears, using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with spectroscopic detectors without the need for any clean-up steps. The method showed good performance in the analysis of these mycotoxins in apple and pear fruit samples with recovery ranges of 55–97% for PAT and 84–101% for CTN, respectively. The limits of detection (LOD) of PAT and CTN in fruits were 0.006 µg/g and 0.001 µg/g, while their limits of quantification (LOQ) were 0.018 µg/g and 0.003 µg/g, respectively. The present findings indicate that the newly developed HPLC method provides rapid and accurate detection of PAT and CTN in fruits.

Abstract Background A new, sensitive, suitable, clear, accurate, and robust reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method for the determination of brexpiprazole in bulk drug and tablet formulation was developed and validated in this research. Surface methodology was used to optimize the data, with a three-level Box-Behnken design. Methanol concentration in the mobile phase, flow rate, and pH were chosen as the three variables. The separation was performed using an HPLC method with a UV detector and Openlab EZchrom program, as well as a Water spherisorb C18 column (100 mm × 4.6; 5m). Acetonitrile was pumped at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min with a 10 mM phosphate buffer balanced to a pH of 2.50.05 by diluted OPA (65:35% v/v) and detected at 216 nm. Result The developed RP-HPLC method yielded a suitable retention time for brexpiprazole of 4.22 min, which was optimized using the Design Expert-12 software. The linearity of the established method was verified with a correlation coefficient (r2) of 0.999 over the concentration range of 5.05–75.75 g/mL. For API and formulation, the percent assay was 99.46% and 100.91%, respectively. The percentage RSD for the method’s precision was found to be less than 2.0%. The percentage recoveries were discovered to be between 99.38 and 101.07%. 0.64 μg/mL and 1.95 μg/mL were found to be the LOD and LOQ, respectively. Conclusion The developed and validated RP-HPLC system takes less time and can be used in the industry for routine quality control/analysis of bulk drug and marketed brexpiprazole products.
