Background: Aluminum (Al) is classified as other element by ICH, and its permitted daily exposure (PDE) has not been established. As it might cause compromised renal function, guidelines, regional regulations and practices needs to be addressed. According to the United States Pharmacopeia 41 and the Japanese Pharmacopoeia 17, the aluminum content of large-volume parenterals (LVPs) used in total parenteral nutrition (TPN) therapy must not exceed 25 ng mL-1. Therefore, the package insert of LVPs used in TPN therapy must state the content of aluminum. Objective: A new microwave assisted acid digestion pretreatment together with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) method was developed for the determination of aluminum content in Dextran 40 Glucose Injection. The method was successfully applied for quality evaluation of commercial Dextran 40 Glucose Injection. Method: Samples were digested by a mixture of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid, with the assistance of microwave. After that, ICP-MS in KED mode was employed to analyze the samples. Results: The method showed a good linearity (r2=0.9999) within the range of 2~100 ng mL-1, with the limit of detection and quantitation of 0.482 ng mL-1 and 1.61 ng mL-1, respectively. A good precision was obtained with relative standard deviation (RSD) of 8.8% (n=6). The spike recoveries with low, middle and high Al content in 9 sample were 102.2%~107.4%. Conclusion: The developed method was successfully applied for the analysis of Al content in 44 batches of Dextran 40 Glucose Injection produced by 9 pharmaceutical companies from domestic or international enterprises. The Al content of Dextran 40 Glucose Injection varied greatly between different enterprises or different batches. Meanwhile, among total of 44 batches, the Al content in 3 batches of Dextran 40 Glucose Injection exceeded the limitation of 25 ng mL-1, which might cause potential safety problems.

AbstractA rapid and simple as well as sensitive inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) method for the determination of cobalamin is described. Cobalamin in human urine and medicine tablet solutions was converted on-line into free cobalt ions in acid medium, the cobalt ions were then detected by ICP-MS. Cobalamin was determined by measuring the increase of integral counts per second intensity, which was linear over the cobalamin concentration range of 1.0 × 10−10 g mL−1 to 8.0 × 10−5 g mL−1, and the limit of detection was 0.05 ng mL−1 (3σ). At the pump rate of 30 rotations per minute, one analysis cycle of cobalamin, including sampling and washing, could be accomplished in 0.5 min with the relative standard deviations of less than 5 %. The proposed procedure was applied successfully in monitoring cobalamin in human urine without any pretreatment process and in rapid determination of cobalamin in multivitamin tablets.

Reversed phase-HPLC with fluorescence detection of two major capsaicinoids was described. Isocratic elution using a ratio of methanol and deionized water (66:34, v/v) as mobile phase was used at a flow rate of 0.9 mL/min with well achieved separation within 6 min. Under optimum conditions, their analytical figures of merit for the HPLC method were validated. The linearity was in the range of 1.0-25.0 μg/mL with multiple determination coefficients of higher than 0.995. The limit of detection was ranged of 0.008-0.01 μg/mL. The repeatability and reproducibility of the retention time and peak area for these compounds were in good precision with their relative standard deviations (RSDs) lower than 1% and 5%, respectively. Both capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin were extracted using an accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) of methanol as an extraction solvent for 5 min static time with 3 cycles. The methanolic extracts were subjected to clean up with C18solid-phase extraction (SPE) with its recoveries ranking of 90.2-98.0%. The method recoveries of real samples were found to be 60.7-98.6%. The optimized extraction method were applied for the determination of the two capsaicinoids in ten vareities of hot chilli pepper samples. Total contents of capsaicinoids were found in the range of 2,307.0-9047.3 μg/g DW with their corresponding Scoville heat unit (SHU) of 34,600-135,700. Additionally, the contents of capsaicinoids using external calibration method comparing with those of standard addition were not significantly different, indicating accuracy of the method. Mostly, the contents of capsaicin found in these real samples were rather higher than those of dihydrocapsaicin.

Abstract A thin-layer chromatography (TLC)-densitometric method was developed to determine N-(hydroxymethyl)nicotinamide in tablets and basic solutions along with nicotinic acid. Analysis was performed on silica gel F254 plates using chloroformethanol (2 + 3, v/v) mobile phase. The densitometric observations were made at 260 nm. The results showed good precision and accuracy; relative standard deviation was 2.37, and recovery ranged from 97.60 to 100.82. The limit of detection was 0.1 g/spot, while the linearity range was from 0.2 to 1.75 g/spot. Applicability of the newly developed method was tested for determination of N-(hydroxymethyl)nicotinamide in the preparation Cholamid<sup/>. Densitometric measurements were used to evaluate stability of N-(hydroxymethyl)nicotinamide in basic solutions. It was found that decomposition corresponded to first-order reaction kinetics. The computed kinetic and thermodynamic parameters at 30C were as follows: k 0.00675/min, t0,5 1.71 h, t0,1 0.26 h, and Ea 44.75 kJ/mol.

Purpose This study aims to present the results of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) determination of economically significant metals including rare-earth elements and Y (REY), Co + Ni + Cu obtained from the Fe-Mn deposits (FMD) of different areas selected along the Atlantic Ocean. Design/methodology/approach The description of the instrumental part of the analysis was shown in detail, including the choice of the acquisition mode and other settings of the quadrupole ICP-MS Agilent 7700x, which allow to eliminate spectral overlaps as much as possible and to achieve good precision and accuracy of the measurement. The accuracy of the obtained results was controlled by analysis of certified reference materials (CRM) of Fe-Mn nodules of the US Geological Survey – NOD-A-1 and NOD-P-1, as well as the Russian CRM samples of Fe-Mn nodule OOPE 603 (SDO-6) and ore crust OOPE 604 (SDO-7). Statistical processing of the analysis results demonstrated the acceptability of chosen sample preparation technique and ICP-MS tunes for the determination of REY in FMD. Findings The performed analytical research allowed giving a geochemical characteristic of studied FMD. The precision for the elements to be determined according to the relative standard deviation (RSD) was within 5.0%. Originality/value To move away from the subjective visual assessment of the analytical results quality in terms of absence (or presence) of the REE sawtooth distribution, an original objective mathematical method was proposed.

A simple and cost effective spectrophotometric method is described for the determination of fluvastatin sodium in pure form and in pharmaceutical formulations. When the drug reacts with sodium hydroxide shows absorption maximum at 304 nm and obeys beer's law in the concentration range 5-25 µg mL-1. The absorbance was found to increase linearly with increasing concentration of FVS, which is corroborated by the calculated correlation coefficient value of 0.9999 (n=5). The apparent molar absorptivity and sandell sensitivity were 1.1905×104and 0.0368844 µg cm-2cm respectively. The slope and intercept of the equation of the regression line are 0.027112 and 0.003539 respectively. The limit of detection and limit of quantification was found to be 0.0811 µg mL-1& 0.2460 µg mL-1. The validity of the described procedure was assessed. Statistical analysis of the result has been carried out revealing high accuracy and good precision. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of FVS in pharmaceutical formulations without any interference from common excipients. The relative standard deviations were ≤ 0.937%, with recoveries of 98.60% -101.70%.

: A spectrophotometry was investigated for the determination of epsilon aminocaproic acid (EACA) with p-nitrophenol (PNP). The method was based on a charge transfer (CT) complexation of this drug as n-electron donor with π-acceptor PNP. Experiment indicated that the CT complexation was carried out at room temperature for 10 minutes in dimethyl sulfoxide solvent. The spectrum obtained for EACA/PNP system showed the maximum absorption band at wavelength of 425 nm. The stoichiometry of the CT complex was found to be 1:1 ratio by Job’s method between the donor and the acceptor. Different variables affecting the complexation were carefully studied and optimized. At the optimum reaction conditions, Beer’s law was obeyed in a concentration limit of 1~6 µg mL-1. The relative standard deviation was less than 2.9%. The apparent molar absoptivity was determined to be 1.86×104 L mol-1cm-1 at 425 nm. The CT complexation was also confirmed by both FTIR and 1H NMR measurements. The thermodynamic properties and reaction mechanism of the CT complexation have been discussed. The developed method could be applied successfully for the determination of the studied compound in its pharmaceutical dosage forms with a good precision and accuracy compared to official method as revealed by t- and F-tests.

Abstract Background The aim of the present method is to develop and validate a specific, sensitive, precise, and accurate liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) method for the estimation of the phenyl vinyl sulfone in the eletriptan hydrobromide. The effective separation of the phenyl vinyl sulfone was achieved by the Symmetry C18 (50 × 4.6 mm, 3.5 μm) column and a mobile phase composition of 0.1%v/v ammonia buffer to methanol (5:95 v/v), using 0.45 ml/min flow rate and 20 μl of injection volume, with methanol used as diluent. The phenyl vinyl sulfone was monitored on atomic pressure chemical ionization mode mass spectrometer with positive polarity mode. Results The retention time of phenyl vinyl sulfone was found at 2.13 min. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were observed at 1.43 ppm and 4.77 ppm concentration respectively; the linear range was found in the concentration ranges from 4.77 to 27.00 ppm with regression coefficient of 0.9990 and accuracy in the range of 97.50–102.10%. The percentage relative standard deviation (% RSD) for six replicates said to be injections were less than 10%. Conclusion The proposed method was validated successfully as per ICH guidelines. Hence, this is employed for the determination of phenyl vinyl sulfone in the eletriptan hydrobromide.

AbstractA rapid dispersive liquid-liquid micro-extraction (DLLME) methodology based on the application of 1-hexylpyridinium hexafluorophosphate [C6py][PF6] ionic liquid (IL) as an extractant solvent was applied for the pre-concentration of trace levels of cobalt prior to determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). 1-Phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoyl-5-pyrazolone (PMBP) was employed as a chelator forming a Co-PMBP complex to extract cobalt ions from aqueous solution into the fine droplets of [C6py][PF6]. Some effective factors that influence the micro-extraction efficiency include the pH, the PMBP concentration, the amount of ionic liquid, the ionic strength, the temperature and the centrifugation time which were investigated and optimized. In the optimum experimental conditions, the limit of detection (3s) and the enrichment factor were 0.70 µg L−1 and 60, respectively. The relative standard deviation (RSD) for six replicate determinations of 50 µg L−1 Co was 2.36%. The calibration graph using the pre-concentration system was linear at levels 2–166 µg L−1 with a correlation coefficient of 0.9982. The applicability of the proposed method was evaluated by the determination of trace amounts of cobalt in several water samples.

The electrochemical behavior of isothipendyl hydrochloride (IPH) was investigated at bare and multiwalled-carbon-nanotube modified glassy carbon electrode (MWCNT-GCE). IPH (55 μM) showed two oxidation peaks in Britton-Robinson (BR) buffer of pH 7.0. The oxidation process of IPH was observed to be irreversible over the pH range of 2.5–9.0. The influence of pH, scan rate, and concentration of the drug on anodic peak was studied. A differential pulse voltammetric method with good precision and accuracy was developed for the determination of IPH in pure and biological fluids. The peak current was found to be linearly dependent on the concentration of IPH in the range of 1.25–55 μM. The values of limit of detection and limit of quantification were noticed to be 0.284 and 0.949 μM, respectively.

A method for simultaneous determination of residuals of four herbicides and pesticides, simazine, carboxin, diflubenzuron and rotenone, in Chinese green tea was developed. In the proposed method, the tea powder was placed in a centrifuge tube with a plug, extracted in saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution and acetonitrile, agitated using vortex oscillator, and then centrifuged 5 min at 4000 rpm. The supernatant solution was purified by primary secondary amine (PSA) sorbent, C18 power, and graphitized carbon black powder, respectively. Then the purified extracts were dissolved with acetonitrile:0.1% formic acid aqueous solution (40:60, V/V) and agitated, filtered using a syringe with 0.22 μm nylon filter prior to UPLC-MS/MS analysis. The UPLC analysis was performed on an ACQUITY UPLC® HSS T3 column (2.1 mm×100 mm, 1.8 µm), using acetonitrile-0.1% formic acid as mobile phase with the flow rate as 0.3 mL•min-1. Injection volume was 10 µL. Positive ionization mode was applied, and the ions were monitored in the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode with curtain gas 0.069 MPa, collision gas 0.052 MPa, ESI ion spray voltage 5000 V, temperature 550 °C, nebulizer gas 0.24 MPa, and turbo gas 0.28 MPa. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) of the proposed method are 1 μg•kg-1and 5 μg•kg-1, respectively. The average recoveries of the four pesticides at 10, 20, and 50 µg•kg-1spiking levels range from 77.4% to 95.3%.
