A sensitive and reliable method for the determination of trace amounts of abamectin in muscles, kidneys and fat tissue of fallow deer is presented. Abamectin was extracted from the tissues with acetonitrile and the extract was cleaned up on a C8 solid-phase extraction cartridge. Abamectin residue was derivatised with trifluoroacetic acid anhydride and 1-methylimidazole, and determined using reversed- phase high-performance liquid chromatography under isocratic conditions and fluorescence detection. The recoveries of the method were high and consistent, ranging from 78% to 90%. The limit of detection of the method was below 1 μg/kg when analysing muscle, kidney and fat tissue. Matrix-matched calibration was used in order to obtain accurate values and to avoid matrix interference.

Acrylamide is a potential health hazardous compound occurring in baked and fried food as a result of excessive dry heating during the preparation and/or processing of foods. Exposure to a high level of acrylamide may cause cancer, neurotoxicity, and mutagenicity. In this study, an isocratic reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method using a C18 column was used for the determination of acrylamide in selected food. The mobile phase consisted of 0.1% formic acid in water: acetonitrile (98:02), and the flow rate was 1.0 mL min-1, elution was monitored at 200 nm. Validation in selected conditions showed that the chosen method is sensitive, selective, precise, and reproducible with a linear detector response for the determination of acrylamide. The limit of detection (LOD), and the limit of quantification (LOQ), were achieved at 0.41μg mL-1 and 1.25 μg mL-1respectively. The proposed method was also applied after validation to the most popular six brands of chips and French fries available in the Libyan market. Acrylamide was extracted by a simplified extraction method avoiding cleanup by solid-phase extraction (SPE), then analyzed by HPLC-UV. The highest level of acrylamide was found in one brand of chips with a concentration of 16.33 μg mL-1, whereas only one of the French fries products analyzed exhibited an acrylamide concentration of 10.26 μg mL-1.

Abstract Tigecycline (TIG), a novel glycylcycline antibiotic, plays an important role in the management of complicated skin and intra-abdominal infections. The available data lack any description of a method for determination of TIG in avian plasma. In our study, a selective, accurate and reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was developed for the determination of TIG in turkey plasma. Sample preparation was based on protein precipitation and liquid-liquid extraction using 1,2-dichloroethane. Chromatographic separation of TIG and minocycline (internal standard, IS) was achieved on an Atlantis T3 column (150 mm × 3.0 mm, 3.0 μm) using gradient elution. The selected reaction monitoring transitions were performed at 293.60 m/z → 257.10 m/z for TIG and 458.00 m/z → 441.20 m/z for IS. The developed method was validated in terms of specificity, selectivity, linearity, lowest limit of quantification, limit of detection, precision, accuracy, matrix effect, carry-over effect, extraction recovery and stability. All parameters of the method submitted to validation met the acceptance criteria. The assay was linear over the concentration range of 0.01-100 μg/ml. This validated method was successfully applied to a TIG pharmacokinetic study in turkey after intravenous and oral administration at a dose of 10 mg/kg at various time-points.

A high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method with fluorescence detection after precolumn fluorescamine derivation was developed to detect residues of two aminopenicillins, amoxicillin (AMPC) and ampicillin (ABPC), in bovine serum. Proteins in serum samples spiked with each of these penicillins were precipitated with sodium tungstate and sulfuric acid, centrifuged, and removed by passage through a C18 solid-phase extraction cartridge. After precolumn treatment of the extraction products of AMPC and ABPC with fluorescamine solution, HPLC analysis with fluorescence spectrophotometric detection at an excitation wavelength of 390 nm and an emission wavelength of 485 nm was performed to identify these products. Two mobile phases were used for residual analysis by the isocratic HPLC system. An ODP column (polyvinyl alcohol bonded with an octadecyl functional group) that can be used with strongly alkaline mobile phases (pH 2.0 to 13) was selected, and the column temperature was set at 40°C. A mobile phase comprising 100-mM K2HPO4 solution and acetonitrile (72:28, vol/vol), which yielded AMPC and ABPC retention times of 4.1 and 7.9 min, respectively, was suitable for detection of residual ABPC but not for residual AMPC because interference was caused by peaks of other extracted substances. When a mobile phase comprising a different ratio of 100-mM K2HPO4 solution and acetonitrile (78:22, vol/vol) was used, the retention times of AMPC and ABPC were 7.3 and 26.3 min, respectively, and both penicillins could be analyzed using this system. The calculated standard curves of the reaction products with both mobile phases were linear, and the correlation coefficients were greater than 0.999. The lower limit of detection was 10 ng/ml for both penicillins. Analysis of extracts from bovine serum spiked with AMPC and ABPC at a concentration of 1 μg/ml yielded recovery rates of 102.2 ± 5.5% and 79.0 ± 5.2%, respectively. This detection method may be useful for routine laboratory testing of AMPC and ABPC.

AbstractTh accurate rapid, simple and selective reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) has been established and validated for the determination of captopril (CAP). Chromatographic separation was accomplished using prepacked ODSI C18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm with 5 μm particle size) in isocratic mode, with mobile phase consisting of water: acetonitrile (60:40 v/v), pH adjusted to 2.5 by using 85% orthophosphoric acid at a flow rate of 1 mL/min and UV detection was performed at 203 nm. RP-HPLC method used for the analysis of CAP in mobile phase and rabbit plasma was established and validated as per ICH-guidelines. It was carried out on a well-defined chromatographic peak of CAP was established with a retention time of 4.9 min and tailing factor of 1.871. The liquid–liquid extraction method was used for extraction of CAP from the plasma. Excellent linearity (R2 = 0.999) was shown over range 3.125–100 µg/mL with mean percentage recoveries ranges from 97 to 100.6%. Parameters of precision and accuracy of the developed method meet the established criteria. Intra and inter-day precision (% relative standard deviation) study was also performed which was less than 2% which indicate good reproducibility of the method. The limit of detection (LOD) and quantification for the CAP in plasma were 3.10 and 9.13 ng/mL respectively. The method was suitably validated and successfully applied to the determination of CAP in rabbit plasma samples.

Abstract A method for high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) determination of flumorph residues in cucumber, tomato, soil, and natural water was developed and validated. Primary secondary amine or octadecylsilyl (C18) solid-phase extraction cartridges were used for sample preparation. Reversed-phase HPLC with UV detection was used for separation and quantification of the pesticide. The combined cleanup and chromatographic method steps were sensitive and reliable for simultaneous determination of residues of the 2 isomers of flumorph in the studied samples. This method is characterized by recovery >97.9, coefficient of variation <6.2, and limit of quantification of 0.01 mg/kg, in agreement with directives for method validation in residue analysis. Flumorph residues in the samples were further confirmed by HPLC/mass spectrometry. The proposed method is fast, easy to perform, and could be used for monitoring of pesticide residues.

Abstract A liquid chromatographic (LC) method is described for the determination of vitamin K1 in medical foods. The sample is enzymatically digested with lipase and α-amylase and extracted with 1% sodium bicarbonate solution–isopropanol (1 + 1). After C18 solid-phase extraction, vitamin K1 is separated by nonaqueous reversed-phase LC, converted to the hydroquinone by postcolumn zinc reduction, and quantitated by fluorescence detection. The limit of detection is 8 pg (3 σ), and the limit of quantitation is 27 pg (10 σ) on column. Linear response ranged from 0.1 to 1.0 ng vitamin K1 (r = 0.9999). The mean recovery (n = 38) for all spiking levels was 101.6 ± 2.85%. Analysis of Standard Reference Material 1846, Infant Formula, gave a mean value of 0.95 ± 0.088 mg vitamin K/kg (K or K1?)(n = 31) with a coefficient of variation of 9.26.
