AbstractThe quality of pesticide formulations has an impact on the crop safety, environment and human health. Therefore, the development of new analytical methods for the determination of active substances in pesticide formulations in order to control their quality, as well as, their residues in food samples in order to ensure food safety, is always welcome. A new, simple, precise and accurate normal-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (NP-HPLC) method for determination of an active ingredient malathion in the commercial emulsifiable concentrate pesticide product has been developed and validated. The analysis was carried out on a LiChrosorb CN (250 x 4 mm, 5 μm) analytical column using isocratic elution with mobile phase consisted of n-hexane and dichloromethane (80/20, v/v), flow rate of 1 mL/min, constant column temperature at 25 °C and ultraviolet diode-array detection at 220 nm. The obtained values for multiple correlation coefficients (R2 ≥ 0.9990), relative standard deviation of retention times, peak areas and heights (RSD ≤ 1.14%), recoveries ranged from 98.97 to 101.62%, revealed that the developed method has a satisfactory linearity, precision and accuracy. Also, the developed method was successfully applied for determination of malathion residues in apple juice samples, after preliminary sample preparation using solid-phase extraction. Specificity, selectivity, linearity, matrix effect, precision and accuracy were tested in order to validation of this method. The obtained results were in acceptable ranges and indicated that the developed method is suitable for routine determination of malathion in the pesticide formulation, as well as for determination of malathion residues in apple juice samples. The run time of HPLC analysis was about 6 min.

Summary The modern apple production involves the use of large amounts of pesticides that can be found in processed products such as apple juice. Harmful effects of pesticide residues on humans, especially children, are well known, hence the content of pesticide residues in fruit, vegetables and their juices should be controlled. This study presents an application of a new, relatively simple and reliable analytical method for qualitative and quantitative determination of three organophosphorus and one organonitrogen pesticide residues in apple juices. The analysis utilizes reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) followed by UV diode array detection. Prior to HPLC analysis, a solid-phase extraction (SPE) was used for analytes concentration and sample clean-up. Specificity, selectivity, linearity, precision, accuracy and limit of quantification (LOQ) were examined to assess the validity of the developed method. The method had satisfactory values of multiple correlation coefficients for calibration curves (R2 ≥ 0.95 ). The precision was evaluated for the retention times and peak areas, and the estimated values for relative standard deviations (RSD) were 0.05 % - 0.18 % and 0.09 % - 0.62 %, respectively, which indicated an excellent precision of the proposed method. Under the established conditions, the recovery of analytes was 93.80 % - 119.41 %, with relative standard deviations below 0.56 %. This method was successfully applied for determination of some organophosphorus and organonitrogen pesticide residues in apple juices which were taken from Macedonian markets. The achieved values for LOQs were low enough compared to the MRLs of the investigated pesticides in apple according to the Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. Detectable residues of the examined pesticides were not found in the analyzed samples.

A high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was established for the determination of two acrylate substances in environmental water. The optimal chromatographic conditions were determined via exploring the effects of chromatographic column, mobile phase, column temperature, flow rate, detection wavelength and other factors on the separation effect of acrylate substances. Finally, the effective separation of methyl methacrylate and isopropyl methacrylate was realized within 6 min. The retention time of the target compound was used for qualitative analysis and the external standard method was used for quantitative analysis in the experiment. The linear relationship between the two acrylates was good in the range of 0.2-50.0 mg/L, and the correlation coefficient of standard curve was higher than 0.999. The recovery rate was 88.6%-105.3%, the relative standard deviation was 1.7%-4.1%, and the detection limit (LODs) was 0.03-0.05 mg/L. The method was simple, efficient and accurate, and suitable for the determination of acrylates in environmental water samples.

Background: The simultaneous determination of multiple components in a sample is an important factor in the quality control of traditional Chinese medicines and can give an indication of potential clinical applications. Introduction: A rapid and sensitive method has been introduced for the simultaneous quantitative analysis of eight bioactive flavonoid constituents from Scutellariae Radix using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry. Methods: The separation was performed on a Waters Acquity UPLC C18 column (2.1 mm×100 mm, 1.7 μm), under optimized mass spectrometry conditions, with a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min. The column temperature was maintained at 35°C and the injection volume was 3 μL. Results: The method showed a good linear relationship of each component; all R2 values were above 0.9990 in the experiment. The RSDs of the precision test, repeatability test, stability test and recovery test were all not more than 2.86 %. We found that the total percentage amounts of the eight flavonoids were 22.19%, 18.63% and 10.86% in Raw Scutellariae Radix (RSR), Wine Scutellaria Radix (WSR) and Scutellaria Radix Charcoal (SRC) respectively. Conclusion: The method was successfully applied to the simultaneous determination of the eight bioactive flavonoids of Raw Scutellariae Radix, Wine Scutellaria Radix and Scutellaria Radix Charcoal.

Abstract Reboxetine is used as a selective noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor for the treatment of major depressive disorders. It is effective in the treatment of severe depression and safer to use than traditional tricyclic antidepressants. In this study, a novel, simple, and rapid stability-indicating high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for reboxetine methansulfonate was successfully developed and validated for the assay of tablets. The method was used to quantify reboxetine in tablets; it employed a C18 column (150 4.6 mm id) with an isocratic mobile phase consisting of methanolphosphate buffer (pH 7, 0.02 M; 55 + 45, v/v) at a flow rate of 1.0 μmL/min. Reboxetine was detected by an ultraviolet detector at 277 nm. The retention time of reboxetine was about 4.5 min. The developed HPLC method was validated with respect to linearity, precision, sensitivity, accuracy, and selectivity. The method was linear over the concentration range 150 g/mL (r 0.9999). The limits of detection and the quantitation of reboxetine were 0.1 and 0.3 μg/mL, respectively. The relative standard deviation values for intraday and interday precision were 0.781.01 and 1.081.37%, respectively. Selectivity was validated by subjecting a stock solution of reboxetine to neutral, acid, and alkali hydrolysis, as well as oxidation, dry heat treatment, and photodegradation. The peaks of the degradation products did not interfere with the peak of reboxetine. The results indicated that the proposed method could be used in a stability assay. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of reboxetine in tablets. Excipients present in the tablets did not interfere with the analysis.
