A high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) method was developed to simultaneously analyze levamisole (LMS) and mebendazole (MBZ) and its two metabolites, 5-hydroxymebendazole (HMBZ) and 2-amino-5-benzoylbenzimidazole (AMBZ), in poultry muscle (chicken, duck and goose). In the sample preparation process, basic ethyl acetate was used as the extraction agent, and the extracted samples were back-extracted with hydrochloric acid, purified by Oasis MCX solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridges, and reconstituted in the initial mobile phase after being blown dry with nitrogen. Chromatographic separation was performed on an Xbridge C18 column (4.6 mm × 150 mm, 5 μm) with 0.1% formic acid in water and acetonitrile as the mobile phases, and gradient elution was performed at a flow rate of 0.6 mL/min and a column temperature of 35 °C. In blank poultry muscle samples, the spiked concentrations of LMS, MBZ, HMBZ, and AMBZ were within the range of the limit of quantitation (LOQ) to 25 μg/kg. The peak areas of the four target drugs had a good linear relationship with the concentration, and the determination coefficient (R2) values were higher than 0.9990. The average recoveries of LMS, MBZ, HMBZ, and AMBZ were 86.77–96.94%; the intraday relative standard deviations (RSDs) were 1.75–4.99% at LOQ, 0.5 maximum residue limit (MRL), 1.0 MRL, and 2.0 MRL; the interday RSDs were 2.54–5.52%; and the LODs and LOQs were 0.04–0.30 μg/kg and 0.12–0.80 μg/kg, respectively.

A method for the determination of Rhodamine B in sausage was developed and validated. After extraction of Rhodamine B with acetonitrile from foodstuffs, a novel electrospun polymer nanofibers packed micro-column was used for cleaning and concentrating of the analyte in the sample. High performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (HPLC-Flu) was used for the determination of Rhodamine B in the sample. The mobile phase was composed of 3.0 g L-1 phosphate buffer and methanol (3:7, volume ratio), and the pH was adjusted to 7. 0 with orthophosphoric acid. The results showed that the standard curve was linear over the validated concentrations range of 2-500 ng g-1, and the limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantitation (LOQ) for Rhodamine B spiked samples was 0. 2 ng g-1 and 0. 7 ng g-1, respectively. The average recoveries of Rhodamine B were 90.4% -94.3% for sausage, and the relative standard deviation of the method was from 1.7% to 3.8%. This proposed method was applied to real sample, and there was no Rhodamine B found in sausage.

AbstractWe developed a significantly improved ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for determination of 5-nitro-2-furaldehyde (NF) as a surrogate using a novel internal standard for the detection of nitrofurazone. We used 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine derivatization and furfural as the internal standard. Derivatization was easily performed in HCl using ultrasonic manipulation for 5 min followed by liquid extraction using ethyl acetate. The samples were concentrated and purified using reverse phase and alumina cartridges in tandem. The derivatives were separated using a linear gradient elution on a C18 column with methanol and water as the mobile phase in negative ionization mode and multiple reaction monitoring. Under the optimized conditions, the calibration curves were linear from 0.2 to 20 μg/L with correlation coefficients >0.999. Mean recoveries were 80.8 to 104.4% with the intra- and inter-day relative standard deviations <15% at spiking levels of 0.1 to 10 μg/kg. The limits of detection and quantification were 0.05 and 0.1 μg/kg, respectively. This method is a robust tool for the identification and quantitative determination of NF in shrimp samples.

A simple and robust high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method is described for the assay for levetiracetam (LTC), methyl paraben (MHB), and propyl paraben (PHB) either in their pure form or in commercial Levepsy® syrup. The method is selective and stability indicating and all chromatographic conditions were studied to obtain adequate separation of LTC, MHB, and PHB from their degradation products and from excipients. The HPLC separation was carried out on a RP C18 Hypersil BDS analytical column (150 mm × 4.6 mm ID) using gradient elution system. The mobile phase flow rate was 1.5 mLmin−1 and the column temperature was kept at 40°C. Complete separation of the studied components was obtained within a cycle time of 8 min. LTC, MHB, and PHB were eluted at 1.56, 5.86, and 7.85 min, respectively. Detection was carried out at 240 nm using a dual wavelength detector. The method has been validated for linearity, accuracy, precision, specificity, limit of detection, limit of quantitation, robustness, and ruggedness. The proposed method was successfully applied for the determination of LTC in the presence of parabens in Levepsy syrup.

Chaihu-shugan-san (CHSGS) has been widely used in China to treat depression and gastrointestinal diseases for thousands of years, but little is known about its pharmacokinetic properties. The purpose of our study is to develop a reliable and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) method to detect five components in beagle plasma and study their pharmacokinetic after oral administration of CHSGS in beagles. An Agilent C18 column (2.1 × 150 mm, 3.5 μm) was used to separate the analytes, and the column temperature was maintained at 40°C. A gradient elution procedure was used with solvent A (acetonitrile) and solvent B (0.1% formic acid, aqueous) as mobile phases. The elution procedure was 60% B—10% B (0–3 min) and 10% B—60% B (3.1–4 min). The flow rate was 0.3 mL/min, and the total measurement time was 4 min. Within the determined range, the standard calibration curves of the five analytes had a satisfactory linear relationship (r2 ≥ 0.9923). The recovery rate (n = 6) of the five analytes was between 85.42% and 90.85%, and the matrix effects (n = 6) were between 94.52% and 103.91%. These results show that the validated method could be successfully applied to study the pharmacokinetic in beagles after a single dose of CHSGS.

This study developed a method for simultaneous determination of 13 elements of Semen Cuscutae (quercitrin, quercetin, hyperoside, caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, luteolin, apigenin, kaempferol, isoquercitrin, cryptochlorogenic acid, isorhamnetin-3-O-glucoside, astragalin, and rutin) in rat plasma using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) in the negative MRM mode. The analytes were analyzed with CORTECS®C18 column (4.6 × 150 mm, 2.7 μm) with mobile phases consisting of 0.1% formic acid in water (A) and acetonitrile (B). The intra- and interday precision of the target compounds were expressed as relative standard deviation (RSD) in the range of 0.5%–10.4%, and the accuracy of the target compounds was expressed as relative error (RE) not exceeding ±14.5% for all analytes. In the meantime, the extraction recovery of the target compounds in plasma samples ranged from 87.4% to 106.2% and matrix effect from 81.0% to 115.5%. The established method was successfully accomplished for the pharmacokinetic study of the analytes in rat plasma samples following oral administration of Semen Cuscutae extract, and the pharmacokinetic parameters of seven compounds were obtained.

A rapid, reliable, and sensitive method was developed for the determination of ten tranquilizers in swine urine. Sample preparation was based on solid-phase extraction, which combined isolation of the compounds and sample cleanup in a single step. Separation was performed on a reversed phase C18 column by gradient elution with a chromatographic run time of seven minutes, consisting of 0.1% formic acid in water and acetonitrile as the mobile phase. Multiple reaction monitoring in positive mode was applied for data acquisition. Matrix-matched calibration was used for quantification and good linearity was obtained with coefficients of determination higher than 0.99. The average recoveries of fortified samples at concentrations between 0.05 and 10 µg/L ranged from 85% to 106% with interday relative standard deviations of less than 13% in all cases. The limits of detection and limits of quantification obtained for tranquilizers in the urine were in the ranges of 0.03–0.1 µg/L and 0.05–0.25 µg/L, respectively. The applicability of the proposed method was demonstrated by analyzing real samples; diazepam was detected at concentrations between 0.3 and 0.6 μg/L.

Development and validation of a liquid chromatography - tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for the determination of adapalene in pharmaceutical forms for skin application were presented. The MS/MS analysis of adapalene was performed by use of three mobile phases, consisted of acetonitrile and (a) 0.1 % formic acid, (b) 0.1 % trifluoroacetic acid and (c) 20 mM ammonium acetate. The strongest signals of parent ion and dominant product ion were obtained in negative mode by use of the mobile phase (c). Validation of this method was performed according to the ICH guidelines. Small variations of selected chromatographic parameters (concentration of ammonium acetate, mobile phase composition, column temperature and flow rate) did not affect qualitative and quantitative system responses significantly, which proved method?s robustness. The method is specific for the determination of adapalene. Linearity was proved in the concentration range 6.7 - 700.0 ng mL-1 (r = 0.9990), with limits of detection and quantification 2.0 ng mL-1 and 6.7 ng mL-1, respectively. Accuracy was confirmed by calculated recoveries (98.4 % - 101.5 %). Precision was tested at three levels: injection repeatability, analysis repeatability and intermediate precision. Calculated relative standard deviations were less than 1, 2 and 3 %, respectively.

AbstractThe present study introduces a systematic approach using analytical quality by design (AQbD) methodology for the development of a qualified liquid chromatographic analytical method, which is a challenge in herbal medicinal products due to the intrinsic complex components of botanical sources. The ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-photodiode array-mass spectrometry (UHPLC-PDA-MS) technique for 11 flavonoids in Genkwa Flos was utilized through the entire analytical processes, from the risk assessment study to the factor screening test, and finally in method optimization employing central composite design (CCD). In this approach, column temperature and mobile solvent slope were found to be critical method parameters (CMPs) and each of the eleven flavonoid peaks’ resolution values were used as critical method attributes (CMAs) through data mining conversion formulas. An optimum chromatographic method in the design space was calculated by mathematical and response surface methodology (RSM). The established chromatographic condition is as follows: acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid gradient elution (0–13 min, 10–45%; 13–13.5 min, 45–100%; 13.5–14 min, 100–10%; 14–15 min, 10% acetonitrile), column temperature 28℃, detection wavelength 335 nm, and flow rate 0.35 mL/min using C18 (50 × 2.1 mm, 1.7 μm) column. A validation study was also performed successfully for apigenin 7-O-glucuronide, apigenin, and genkwanin. A few important validation results were as follows: linearity over 0.999 coefficient of correlation, detection limit of 2.87–22.41, quantitation limit of 8.70–67.92, relative standard deviation of precision less than 0.22%, and accuracy between 100.13 and 102.49% for apigenin, genkwanin, and apigenin 7-O-glucuronide. In conclusion, the present design-based approach provide a systematic platform that can be effectively applied to ensure pharmaceutically qualified analytical data from complex natural products based botanical drug.
