Aminoglycosides are broad-spectrum antibiotics used in the treatment of gram-negative bacterial infections. Due to their nephrotoxic and ototoxic potential (narrow therapeutic index), the use of aminoglycoside for clinical indications requires monitoring. The objective of this review was to identify relevant literature reporting liquid chromatographic methods for the bioanalysis of aminoglycosides in both preclinical and clinical settings/experiments. Data on liquid chromatographic methods were collected from articles in an online academic database (PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, and Google Scholar). All 71 articles published from 1977 to 2020 were included in the review. Reversed-phase liquid chromatography was the most used method for the bioanalysis of aminoglycosides. Fluorescence or ultraviolet detection methods were mostly used from 1977 to 2002 (51 articles), while mass spectrometry was predominantly used as a detector from 2003 to 2020 (15 articles). Sixty-seven articles reported calibration ranges, which varied significantly for the various drugs assayed: some in the range of 0.1-0.5 ng/mL and others 1250-200000 ng/mL. Also, 61 articles reported R2 values (0.964-1.0) for almost all analytes under consideration. Sixty-three articles reported percent recoveries mostly between 61.0 % to 114.0 %, with only two articles reporting recoveries of 4.9 % and 36 %. Out of the 71 reviewed articles, 56 reported intermediate precision values ranging between 0.331 % to 19.76 %, which is within the acceptable limit of 20 %. This review will serve as a guide for research and/or routine clinical monitoring of aminoglycosides in biological matrices.

Abstract Quantitative high-performance liquid chromatographic analysis of perbenzoylated sphingolipids has been used to study the correlations of body chemistry to clinical phenomena. Plasma sphingolipids were isolated from 32 Gaucher (β-glucosidase deficiency) and six Fabry (α-galactosidase deficiency) patients by solvent partition and chromatographic separation on silicic acid columns. Plasma sphingolipids from a patient undergoing plasma-exchange were separated from interfering lipids with reversed-phase columns. Liquid-chromatographic analysis of sphingolipids provides useful supportive information for diagnoses because affected individuals are shown to possess increased circulating concentrations of the pathognomonic sphingolipid. We also used this technique to monitor sphingolipid concentrations in plasma and urine sediment during plasma exchange of a p atient with Fabry’s disease. Regular plasma exchanges produced and maintained decreased concentrations of sphingolipids in plasma, but near pre-exchange concentrations were observed within days after the therapy was terminated.

Abstract In this method for 4-hydroxyproline in urine, hydroxyproline is derivatized with 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan, with subsequent estimation by reversed-phase "high-performance" liquid chromatography. The ranges for excretion of free and total hydroxyproline while the subjects were ingesting unrestricted diets were 2-29 and 122-374 mumol/24 h (n = 21), respectively, with no significant sex-related difference. A comparison with results by colorimetry indicated no significant differences: mean (n = 18) concentrations (mumol/L) of hydroxyproline in urine were 180 (SD 149) by the present method, 163 (SD 166) by colorimetry. For protein hydrolysate the respective values were 5.9 (SD 2.7) and 6.7 (SD 2.9).

Abstract Tocopherols extracted from plasma with methanol or from platelets with chloroform/methanol were injected in methanol on a reversed-phase (C18) "high-performance" liquid-chromatographic column and eluted with water/methanol (2/98, by vol) at a flow rate of 1.4 mL/min. A "high-performance" spectrophotofluorometer was used for detection. Analytical recoveries ranged from 89 to 106%. The response was linear to at least 0.3 micrograms of either tocopherol (alpha- or gamma-) applied to the column, and the limit of detection was 0.1 ng. The method was used to measure tocopherols in plasma and platelets from human subjects, and some values are presented.

Abstract After extraction with two organic solvent mixtures, urinary 5-hydroxy-3-indoleacetic acid can be assayed by "high-performance" liquid chromatography on a reversed-phase column, with electrochemical detection. Compared to the nitrosonaphthol method (J. Biol. Chem. 216: 499, 1955), this method is more specific for detection of patients with carcinoid tumors.

Abstract Urinary vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) was determined by "high-performance" liquid chromatography with fluorometric (LC-F) and amperometric (LC-EC) detection. Urine samples were first purified on a small, open-bed, reversed-phase preparatory column. VMA and the internal standard (iso-VMA) were then separated by reversed-phase ion-pair liquid chromatography. Analytical recovery of VMA was high (98.3%, SD 3.3%, n = 8), and concentrations measured by LC-F and LC-EC were in excellent agreement (r = 0.996). The LC-F chromatograms of urine samples had fewer late peaks; however, detection limits were lower (15 vs 120 micrograms/L) for the LC-EC method. Typical concentrations of 1-10 mg/L in urine can be measured easily with either method.

Abstract A reversed-phase "high-performance" liquid-chromatographic assay for the quantification of alprazolam in serum or plasma is described. Serum or plasma is extracted with toluene/isoamyl alcohol (99/1 by vol), evaporated, and reconstituted in the mobile phase. The latter is washed with hexane, then subjected to reversed-phase liquid chromatography and ultraviolet detection at 202 nm. Either U-31485, an alprazolam analog, or lorazepam, a 3-hydroxybenzodiazepine, is satisfactory as internal standards. Major alprazolam metabolites and various other commonly used drugs do not interfere. The useful lower limit of sensitivity for quantification is 2.5 micrograms/L. Peak height and alprazolam concentration are linearly related from 2.5 to 100 micrograms/L. For 10 and 20 micrograms/L concentrations, within-run CVs were 1.4% and 0.9% and the between-runs CVs 4.8% and 3.2%. Steady-state serum concentrations ranged from 25 to 55 micrograms/L in patients taking 1.5 to 6.0 mg per day, orally. Preliminary data suggest the method is also suitable for analysis of the structurally similar triazolobenzodiazepine, triazolam.

AbstractComplex polymer systems, which exhibit multiple distributions in their molecular parameters can be characterized by coupled liquid chromatographic methods. The latter combine entropic (exclusion) and enthalpic (interaction) retention mechanisms. However, recent experimental results suggest that some coupled liquid chromatographic methods may suffer from incomplete sample recovery. This refers, for example, to liquid chromatography under critical conditions of enthalpic interactions and to eluent gradient liquid chromatography. Sample recovery in both latter methods was investigated for selected model systems applying adsorption retention mechanism. Reduced sample recovery was confirmed for both methods. It was revealed that even very high final strength of mobile phase may be insufficient for complete elution of polymer samples in eluent gradient polymer liquid chromatography.
