The objective of this study is to isolate, identify and quantify four types of aflatoxins noted AFB1, AFB2, AFG1, and AFG2 that can be found in cashews grown in Cote dIvoire. These carcinogenic mycotoxins (AF) are secondary metabolite toxins produced by Aspergillus molds in plant foods.This work involved eleven (11) samples of 500 g of cashew nuts from eleven (11) cities of Cote dIvoire for the 2018-2019 campaign. These cities are: Beoumi, Bondoukou, Dabakala, Daloa, Douekoue, Ferkessedougou, Korhogo, Mignignan, Odienne, Sinematiali, and Touba. The test were carried out by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) after extraction of the four (4) mycotoxins on an immunoaffinity column at a flow rate of 3 mL / minute. These aflatoxins were identified and quantified from the following pairs of Retention time (Rt) in minutes and Limit of Detection (LD) in µg / kg: (13.777 0.00143), (10.583 0.00136), (9.901 0.00151), and (8.184 0.00564) respectively for AFB1, AFB2, AFG1, and AFG2. Our results show that all eleven (11) samples from these eleven (11) different cities contain aflatoxin (AFB1, AFB2, AFG2 and AFG1) contents below the national standard (2 µg / kg), that of the CODEX Alimentarius (1.4 µg / kg) and that of the European Union (2 µg / kg) indicating that cashews produced in Cote dIvoire comply with international standards and their consumption does not pose any risk to human health caused by the studied aflatoxins.

T-2 toxin is a mycotoxin produced by several species of common fungi capable of infesting human food and animal feeds. Lower-quality feeds given to chickens may be contaminated with T-2 toxin, which may affect their health. The literature suggests that T-2 toxin is transmitted from the hen to the eggs. This article describes the development of a liquid chromatographic assay for T-2 and the related mycotoxin HT-2 in eggs. T-2 and HT-2 toxins were isolated from spiked eggs with a tandem charcoal-alumina-Florisil column and immunoaffinity column cleanup. The isolated toxins were derivatized with the fluorophore 1-anthroyl nitrile, separated by high-performance liquid chromatography, and quantitated by fluorescence. The limit of detection of the method was 1 ng ml−1 (parts per billion) of T-2 and HT-2 in whole (with shell removed) eggs. The limit of quantitation for both toxins was 5 ng ml−1. Recoveries from spiked eggs over the range from 5 to 50 ng ml−1 averaged 89.2% for T-2 and 100.3% for HT-2, with coefficients of variation of 3.5 and 8.2%, respectively. This method is sensitive enough to be used to check for the presence of T-2 or HT-2 toxins in eggs.

A reliable and reproducible reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) was developed for the quantitative determination of Remipril drug content from marketed bulk tablets. The active ingredient of Remipril separation achieved with C18 column using the methanol water mobile phase in the ratio of 40:60 (v/v). The active ingredient of the drug content quantify with UV detector at 215 nm. The retention time of Remipril is 5.63 min. A good linearity relation (R2=0.999) was obtained between drug concentration and average peak areas. The limit of detection and limit of quantification of the instrument were calculated 0.03 and 0.09 µg/mL, respectively. The accuracy of the method validation was determined 102.72% by recoveries method.

Abstract We used paired-ion high-performance liquid chromatography to determine the 4-nitrophenol content of 4-nitrophenyl phosphate, a substrate for alkaline phosphatase analysis. This was done on a reversed-phase column with a mobile phase of methanol/water, 45/55 by vol, containing 3 ml of tetrabutylammonium phosphate reagent per 200 ml of solvent. At a flow rate of 1 ml/min, 4-nitrophenol was eluted at 9 min and monitored at 404 nm; 4-nitrophenyl phosphate was eluted at 5 min and could be monitored at 311 nm. Samples of 4-nitrophenyl phosphate obtained from several sources contained 0.3 to 7.8 mole of 4-nitrophenol per mole of 4-nitrophenyl phosphate.

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.

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.

A highly sensitive method for the separation and quantitative measurement of phospholipids containing primary amino groups, such as phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine and lysophosphatidylethanolamine, is described. The method involves a simple and quantitative derivative formation of the phospholipids containing amino groups to their u.v.-absorbing biphenylcarbonyl derivatives. These have molar extinction coefficients of about 23,000 at 268nm. The phospholipid derivatives are then separated and non-destructively determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. The amino phospholipids containing vinyl ether bonds (plasmalogens) can be determined separately from the diacyl- and alkylacyl-amino phospholipids. The lower limit of detection by high-performance liquid-chromatographic analysis of the phospholipid derivatives is about 10-13pmol or 0.3-0.4ng of phospholipid P. The quantitative range of derivative formation and analysis by high-performance liquid chromatography of the phospholipids containing amino groups was shown to be 10-500nmol. The method was shown to be applicable to the analysis of phospholipids containing amino groups in tissue samples.

A simple, fast, precise and accurate ultra high performance liquid chromatography method was developed for degradation study of eletriptan hydrobromide (EH) under exaggerated conditions. An Inertsil ODS C18 (250 x 4.6 mm, 5µm) column in isocratic mode was used with mobile phase comprising of water, methanol and trifluoroacetic acid mixed in the ratio 55:45:0.1 % V/V/V, maintained at pH 3.5. The flow rate was set at 0.4 mL per minute with UV detection at 225 nm. The retention time of EH was found to be 3.7 minutes. Linearity for EH was found in the range of 3.5- 200 µg per mL and percentage recoveries were obtained in the range of 100.2 % to 100.6 %. The method was capable of resolving all degradants and principle component in sample. The proposed method is accurate, precise, selective, reproducible, and rapid for detection of degradation of eletriptan hydrobromide.

Abstract We report a simple and rapid procedure for assaying 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) in plasma by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The standard curve for the assay is linear for 8-MOP from 15 to 500 micrograms/L (y = 0.002x-0.01, r = 0.99) with a lower limit of detection of 1.5 micrograms/L. Intra-assay precision (CV) was 6.0% at the 100 micrograms/L concentration and 10.0% at 50 micrograms/L (n = 30 each). Interassay precision was 6.4% at 100 micrograms/L and 7.0% at 50 micrograms/L (n = 50 each). Extraction recovery of 8-MOP was 98%. Common antiarrhythmics, sedatives, and hypnotics were found not to interfere.
