Abstract Background: Aflatoxins (AFs) have attracted increasing amounts of attention in recent years for their high toxicity. Previously, AF-polluted Chinese Patent Medicines (CPMs) were ignored, but their quality, safety, and efficacy might be influenced by the toxic compounds. Objective: The objective is to develop a simple, low-cost, and efficient method for quantitative analysis of aflatoxins B1 (AFB1) and B2 (AFB2) in CPMs to ensure their safe use. Methods: A simple, modified, magnetic nanoparticle-based solid-phase extraction (SPE) combined with HPLC-fluorescence detection for the determination of trace amounts of AFB1 and AFB2 was established. The main parameters affecting the efficiency of modified magnetic nanoparticle-based SPE, such as pH of sample solution, adsorbent amount, adsorption time, and desorption condition, were investigated. Results: Under the optimum conditions, AFB1 and AFB2 were linear in the ranges of 0.3–10 and 0.04–3 ng/mL with the correlation coefficient (R) of 0.9998 and 0.9999, respectively. Their intraday precisions were 1.16 and 2.30% and the interday precisions were 1.28 and 1.87% for AFB1 and AFB2, respectively. The developed SPE was applied for AFB1 and AFB2 extraction in three commercially available Fupuganmao granule samples, and the results were compared with the official immunoaffinity column chromatography method. Conclusions: The method provided a preferable candidate for the determination approach of AF measurement in CPMs. Highlights: Amine-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles were successfully applied to SPE for adsorbing AFB1 and AFB2 in CPMs for the first time.

Abstract Background Honokiol and magnolol were considered as markers for the analysis of Cortex Magnoliae Officinalis, its related Chinese Patent Medicines and their metabolites. However, the determination of these two analytes in a water-soluble sample is difficult and therefore requires a more efficient method. Objective To develop a sensitive method for the determination of honokiol and magnolol in a water-soluble sample for better quality control of Cortex Magnoliae Officinalis and its related Chinese Patent Medicines. Method In this work, a combination of dispersive micro-solid-phase extraction (DMSPE) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has been developed for simultaneous preconcentration and determination of honokiol and magnolol in complex bio-samples. Several experimental factors affecting the extraction efficiency were optimized by single factor test. Results Under the optimized extraction conditions, the proposed method exhibited good linearity of not less than 0.9998, satisfactory precision with relative standard deviation of less than 1.3%, and acceptable mean recoveries of 97.3% and 101.5% for honokiol and magnolol, respectively. Furthermore, the method exhibits extremely high sensitivity with detection limits of 0.0097 and 0.0231 ng/mL, which is even more sensitive than those methods developed by MS. Conclusions The method established in this study is fast, economic, accurate, easy to operate, and importantly well suited to the extraction and analysis of honokiol and magnolol in a real complex sample matrix.

This work presents the results of the investigations of the adsorption process of nitrate, nitrite, and ammonium ions on carbon adsorbent with the application of the solid phase extraction method to isolate and enrich the investigated ions from aqueous solutions of the concentration below 1 mg/L. For the determination of the concentration of the analyzed ions, we applied the ion chromatography method. The sorption capacity for the tested adsorbents as well as the efficiency of the enrichment of the investigated ions were determined.
