The multistep analytical procedure routinely applied in our laboratory for the detection of the aryl amine β-agonists clenbuterol, mabuterol and mapenterol in bovine matrices has been extended to the analysis in urine samples of brombuterol, a new clenbuterol-like compound. In the screening steps, the urine samples were first enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)-tested, then the positive samples were analyzed by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and the β-agonists detected with the Bratton-Marshall color reaction. The TLC spots corresponding to the suspected compounds were scraped off the plates, collected and extracted separately with methanol. The β-agonists in the extracts were detected by HPLC–Vis (limits of detection: 0.5 ng/g). In the confirmatory step the presence and the concentration of the compounds of interest in the samples were established by GC–MS with two different ionization techniques, EI and CI (limits of detection: 1.0 ng/g). The use of this procedure has made possible the detection of brombuterol in officially sampled bovine urine. 相似文献

This study describes a real-life situation involving nine calves, 106 days old, which received oral doses of clenbuterol administered through their milk. Powdered skim milk containing 6.7 mg of clenbuterol was given daily for fifteen days under supervision (i.e. 100 mg per calf for the whole study) to seven calves, and two calves did not receive the drug. Hair samples and urine were taken and subjected to analysis by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. Hairs were pulverized in a ball mill and 100 mg were incubated in a mildly acidic medium. The sample clean-up procedure involved solid-phase extraction on C18 cartridges. Metoprolol was used as the internal standard for quantitation, after formation of methylboronate derivatives. The calibration curve for clenbuterol in hair was linear in the range 20–5000 pg/mg. The limit of detection of clenbuterol was 16 pg/mg in hair and 0.14 ng/ml in urine. Hair testing was effective after 7–10 days of treatment, and concentrations were in the range of 20 to 4372 pg/mg. Urinalysis can detect clenbuterol for up to two weeks after discontinuation of the drug. Conveniently, this is around the time when the hair samples attain greatest sensitivity. Therefore, the combination of the two matrices appears to be the method of choice for testing for the illegal use of drugs in meat-producing animals. 相似文献

This report demonstrates the potential of on-line immunoaffinity extraction and coupled column packed capillary liquid chromatography-ion spray tandem mass spectrometry for multi-residue determination of five β-agonists, clenbuterol, mabuterol, mapenterol, methylclenbuterol, and tolubuterol, in bovine urine using an automated column switching system. Trace enrichment and preliminary sample cleanup was performed on-line using bovine urine diluted with phosphate-buffered saline. The column switching process involves trapping the target analytes onto a mini-bore immunoaffinity column, whereupon the target analytes are released from the immunoaffinity column onto a trapping column and subsequently eluted onto a packed capillary analytical column. The latter packed capillary column was used to provide the optimum sensitivity for ion spray LC-MS-MS analyses. The three-column system consists of a 2.0 mm I.D. immunoaffinity column, a 1 mm I.D. reversed-phase trapping column and a 320 μm I.D. packed capillary analytical column. Both qualitative and quantitative results are presented for the multi-residue determination of the target β-agonists from the complex urinary matrix. Using tolubuterol as an internal standard, the quantitative data showed good linear response within the concentration ranges studied. Lower levels of quantitation were 50 part per trillion (ppt) for clenbuterol and methylclenbuterol, 20 ppt for mabuterol and 10 ppt for mapenterol. The bovine renal elimination is described using the technique for one of the β-agonists, clenbuterol. The concentration of clenbuterol was detectable 15 days after the cessation of oral administration. 相似文献

The primary prostaglandins PGE(2) and PGF(2 alpha) are metabolized in tissues by a series of enzymatic and non-enzymatic reactions. To measure metabolic rates and individual reaction rates it is necessary to extract the parent prostaglandins and metabolites before the separation and quantification of each compound is achieved. Here we have established and optimized a solid phase extraction (SPE) procedure to recover PGE(2), PGF(2 alpha) and their six enzymatic and non-enzymatic tissue metabolites from aqueous solutions including urine, plasma and tissue homogenate. We have used octadecyl-bonded silica gel as the stationary phase and methanol-water mixtures as binary mobile phases. The volumes and concentrations of the washing and elution solutions were optimized individually for each PG. Recoveries of all PG standards were quantitative except for PGEM, which was recovered at 80% efficiency. Biological matrix components interfered with the extraction in a PG- and matrix-specific fashion. Inclusion of 1% formic acid in the loading mixture raised recoveries from urine, plasma and tissue homogenate to >or=90%. This SPE method is the first that has been optimized by systematic elution studies for PGE(2), PGF(2 alpha) and the complement of their tissue metabolites. The procedure is simple, robust and can serve as an effective pre-purification step before downstream separation and quantification of each tissue metabolite of PGE(2) and PGF(2 alpha) from complex biological matrices. 相似文献

A simple, sensitive and reproducible high performance liquid chromatographic method was developed for determining valnemulin in feeds. Feed samples were extracted with ethyl acetate under alkaline condition, cleaned up by molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction, and analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection. The characteristics of the synthesized polymer were evaluated and the loading capacity of the polymer was about 1000 μg analyte/g imprinted polymer. The new procedure for the feed sample cleanup using the prepared polymer cartridge gave higher recoveries and fewer matrix interferences. The assay exhibited a linear dynamic range of 5.0-200 mg kg(-1) with the correlation coefficient above 0.9993. Recoveries of valnemulin from feed samples spiked at 5.0, 20 and 50 mg kg(-1) ranged between 76.0% and 94.4% with relative standard deviations of less than 9%. The limit of detection for valnemulin in feeds was 1 mg kg(-1). 相似文献

This paper describes two different procedures for extraction of ochratoxin A (OTA) from urine samples: one using acidic chloroform-methanol mixture, followed by solid-phase extraction (SPE) clean-up and the other using commercial Chem Elut columns and a chloroform-formic acid mixture. The recovery of OTA using the procedure with silica gel columns was 82% with a R.S.D. < 8.4% and the detection and quantitation limits were 0.5 and 1.5 ng OTA/ml, respectively. The recovery of OTA in the second procedure with urine samples purified only on commercial Chem Elut columns was 95% with R.S.D. < 4.0%, and detection and quantitation limits 0.3 and 0.9 ng/ml, respectively. Both procedures of OTA extraction effectively eliminate interfering substances and give reliable and repeatable results. However, the procedure with Chem Elut columns gave higher recovery and lower detection and quantitation limits. It was successfully applied in determining OTA in human urine samples. 相似文献

The aim of this work was to validate a sensitive method for quantitative analysis of 5-hydroxy-N-methylpyrrolidone (5-HNMP) in urine. This compound has been recommended as a marker for biological monitoring of N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) exposure. Different solvents and alternative methods of extraction including liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) on Chem Elut and solid-phase extraction (SPE) on Oasis HLB columns were tested. The most efficient extraction of 5-HNMP in urine was LLE with Chem Elut columns and dichloromethane as a solvent (consistently 22% of recovery). The urinary extracts were derivatized by bis(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide and analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) with tetradeutered 5-HNMP as an internal standard. The detection limit of this method is 0.017 mg/l urine with an intraassay precision of 1.6-2.6%. The proposed method of extraction is simple and reproducible. Four different m/z signal ratios of TMS-5-HNMP and tetralabelled TMS-5-HNMP have been validated and could be indifferently used in case of unexpected impurities from urine matrix. 相似文献

Introduction – Plant extracts are usually complex mixtures of various polarity compounds and their study often includes a purification step, such as solid‐phase extraction (SPE), to isolate interest compounds prior analytical investigations. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are a new promising type of SPE material which offer tailor‐made selectivity for the extraction of trace active components in complex matrices. Numerous specific cavities that are sterically and chemically complementary of the target molecules, are formed in imprinted polymers. A molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was synthesised in order to trap a specific class of triterpene, including betulin and betulinic acid from a methanolic extract of plane bark. Methodology – Imprinted polymers were synthesised by thermal polymerisation of betulin as template, methacrylic acid (MAA) or acrylamide (AA) as functional monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as crosslinking agent and chloroform as porogen. Afterwards, MAA‐ and AA‐MIPs were compared with their non‐imprinted polymers (NIPs) in order to assess the selectivity vs betulin and its derivatives. Recovered triterpenes were analysed by HPLC during MIP‐SPE protocol. Results – After SPE optimisation, the MAA‐imprinted polymer exhibited highest selectivity and recovery (better than 70%) for betulin and best affinity for its structural analogues. Thus, a selective washing step (chloroform, acetonitrile) removed unwanted matrix compounds (fatty acids) from the SPE cartridge. The elution solvent was methanol. Finally, the MAA‐MIP was applied to fractionate a plane bark methanolic extract containing betulin and betulinic acid. Conclusion – This study demonstrated the possibility of direct extraction of betulin and its structural analogues from plant extracts by MIP technology. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Naturally occurring steroids such as progesterone, testosterone and 17β-estradiol were analyzed in this study. These bio-identical molecules paradoxically can be either beneficial or harmful. Unfortunately as growth promoters can be toxic and cancerogenic at elevated levels. Due to difficulty in monitoring at trace quantities of these hormones in biological matrices specific adsorption materials molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were used for preconcentration and clean up in sample preparation step. A non-covalent imprinting approach was used for bulk polymerization of progesterone, testosterone and 17β-estradiol imprinted polymers. Synthesis of MIPs was achieved by thermal, UV and γ irradiation initiated polymerization whereby were used methacrylic acid (MAA), 4-vinylpyridine (4-VP) as functional monomers, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDMA), trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TRIM) as cross-linking agents and acetonitrile, isooctane–toluene (1:99, v/v) and chloroform as porogen solvents. It was also used as initiator 2,2′-azobis(2-methylpropionitrile) (AIBN) or benzyl methyl ether (BME). The MIPs were applied as selective sorbents in solid-phase extraction (SPE). Molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction (MISPE) considered as hyphenated technique were applied in extraction step before HPLC-DAD analysis of steroids from human urine. 相似文献

In this study, the extraction of γ-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) from urine using solid-phase extraction (SPE) is described. SPE was performed on anion exchange columns after samples of urine had been diluted with de-ionized water. After application of the diluted samples containing GHB-d(6) as an internal standard, the sorbent was washed with deionized water and methanol and dried. The GHB was eluted from the SPE column with a solvent consisting of methanol containing 6% glacial acetic acid. The eluent was collected, evaporated to dryness, and dissolved in mobile phase (100 μL) for analysis by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in negative multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. Liquid chromatography was performed in gradient mode employing a biphenyl column and a mobile phase consisting of acetontitrile (containing 0.1% formic acid) and 0.1% aqueous formic acid. The total run time for each analysis was less than 5 min. The limits of detection/quantification for this method were determined to be 50 and 100 ng/mL, respectively. The method was found to be linear from 500 ng/mL to 10,000 ng/mL (r(2)>0.995). The recovery of GHB was found to be greater than 75%. In this report, results of authentic urine samples analyzed for GHB by this method are presented. GHB concentrations in these samples were found to be range from less than 500 ng/mL to 5110 ng/mL. 相似文献

A gas chromatographic–mass spectrometric method was developed for the determination of residues of clenbuterol in bovine urine. The method involves a simple cation-exchange clean-up and concentration of clenbuterol in the acidified urine, followed by ethyl acetate extraction. The analyte is determined as the di-trimethylsilyl derivative and quantitated against an internal standard of penbutolol. Using a 5-ml sample of urine, a detection limit of 0.07 ng/ml can be achieved with recoveries close to 100% for fortification levels of 0.2 and 1 ng/ml. By increasing the sample volume to 50 ml, a detection limit below 0.01 ng/ml was achievable with recovery averaging 70%. The coefficient of variation of the assay ranged from 15% at 0.01 ng/ml (50-ml sample) to 6% at 1 ng/ml (5-ml sample). It was demonstrated that the method can detect the presence of clenbuterol in bovine urine at sub-ppb (ng/ml) levels using low resolution GC–MS with electron impact (EI) ionization. 相似文献

The most convenient way to perform supercritical fluid extraction (SPE) of liquid sample matrices is to combine it with solid-phase extraction (SPE). β-Blockers from urine were collected on an Empore disc, which was then placed into an extraction cell for derivatization and SPE. SPE recovery was best at pH 10. Effects of temperature, pressure and volume of pyridine on the acetylation and SFE processes were studied. Without acetylation the β-blockers were not significantly soluble in CO2. SFE temperatures of 70°C and 150°C together with 200 μl of acetic anhydride and 400 μl pyridine gave the best results. With the SPE-SFE-GC-MS method developed here, β-blockers like oxprenolol, metoprolol and propranolol could easily be detected in urine samples, and the limit of detection (LOD) for these compounds was found to be 20 ng/ml, 30 ng/ml and 40 ng/ml, respectively. 相似文献

A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (RP-HPLC) method has been developed and validated for the quantitative determination of paclitaxel in human urine. A comparison is made between solid-phase extraction (SPE) and liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) as sample pretreatment. The HPLC system consists of an APEX octyl analytical column and acetonitrile-methanol-0.2 μM ammonium acetate buffer pH 5 (4:1:5, v/v) as the mobile phase. Detection is performed by UV absorbance measurement at 227 nm. The SPE procedure involves extraction on Cyano Bond Elut columns. n-Butylchloride is the organic extraction fluid used for the LLE. The recoveries of paclitaxel in human urine are 79 and 75% for SPE and LLE, respectively. The accuracy for the LLE and SPE sample pretreatment procedures is 100.4 and 104.9%, respectively, at a 5 μg/ml drug concentration. The lower limit of quantitation is 0.01 μg/ml for SPE and 0.25 μg/ml for LLE. Stability data of paclitaxel in human urine are also presented. 相似文献

A novel high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) assay for the estimation of formoterol in urine samples was developed and validated. A solid phase extraction (SPE) using Oasis HLB was optimised to isolate formoterol from a urine matrix followed by HPLC with UV detection. This extraction procedure concentrated the final analyte forty times so that UV detection can be used to determine even a low concentration of formoterol in urine samples. The urinary assay was performed in accordance with FDA and ICH regulations for the validation of bioanalytical samples. The samples were injected onto a C18 Spherisorb (250 mm x 4.6 mm x 5 microm) analytical column maintained at 30 degrees C. The mobile phase consisted of 5 mM of potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate buffer (adjusted to pH 3 with ortho phosphoric acid):acetonitrile (ACN) (70:30, v/v), and the formoterol peak was detected at wavelength 214 nm. The extraction recovery of formoterol from the urine sample was >95%. The calibration curve was linear (r2=0.99) over formoterol concentrations ranging from 1.5 to 25 ng/mL (n=6). The method had an accuracy of >92% and intra and inter-day precision CV% of <3.9% and <2.2%, respectively, at three different concentrations low, medium and high (10, 15, 20 ng/mL). The limit of quantification (LOQ) for formoterol was found to be 1.50 ng/mL. The accuracy and precision at the LOQ level were 95% and %CV <3.7% (n=10), respectively. The method reported is simple, reliable, precise, and accurate and has the capacity to be used for determination of formoterol in urine samples. 相似文献

A sensitive high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method with ultraviolet absorption detection (292 nm) was developed and validated for the determination of the new phosphodiesterase V inhibitor, DA-8159 (DA), in human plasma and urine. A single step liquid-liquid extraction procedure using ethyl ether was performed to recover DA and the internal standard (sildenafil citrate) from 1.0 ml of biological matrices combined with 200 microl of 0.1M sodium carbonate buffer. A Capcell Pak C18 UG120 column (150 mm x 4.6 mm I.D., 5 microm) was used as a stationary phase and the mobile phase consisted of 30% acetonitrile and 70% 20mM potassium phosphate buffer (pH 4.5) at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. The lower limit for quantification was 5 ng/ml for plasma and 10 ng/ml for urine samples. Within- and between-run accuracy and precision were < or =15 and < or =10%, respectively, in both plasma and urine samples. The recovery of DA from human plasma and urine was greater than 70%. Separate stability studies showed that DA is stable under the conditions of analysis. This validated assay was used for the pharmacokinetic analysis of DA during a phase I, rising dose study. 相似文献

An improved method for the determination of ethyl glucuronide (EtG) in human serum and urine was developed using solid-phase extraction (SPE) and gas chromatography (GC) with mass spectrometric detection (MS). EtG was isolated from serum and urine using aminopropyl SPE columns after deproteination with perchloric acid and hydrochloric acid, respectively. The chromatographic separation was performed on a DB 1701 fused-silica column. At a signal-to-noise ratio of 3:1, a quantification limit of 173 and 560 ng/ml and a detection limit of 37 and 168 ng/ml could be determined for serum and urine, respectively. This indicates high specificity and sensitivity of the described method. The mean absolute recovery was 85%, while intra- and inter-day precision of the assay were all less than 7.5%. The linearity of the calibration curves was satisfying as indicated by correlation coefficients of >0.993. The presented method provides the basis for determination and identification of EtG in human serum and urine samples in a low-concentration range for monitoring alcohol consumption during treatment for alcohol dependence and comorbid alcohol abuse of psychotherapy patients. 相似文献

In this study, a novel method is described for the determination of tramadol in biological fluids using molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction (MISPE) as the sample clean-up technique combined with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The water-compatible molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were prepared using methacrylic acid as functional monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as cross-linker, chloroform as porogen and tramadol as template molecule. The novel imprinted polymer was used as a solid-phase extraction (SPE) sorbent for the extraction of tramadol from human plasma and urine. Various parameters affecting the extraction efficiency of the polymer have been evaluated. The optimal conditions for the MIP cartridges were studied. The MIP selectivity was evaluated by checking several substances with similar molecular structures to that of tramadol. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) for tramadol in urine samples were 1.2 and 3.5 μg L−1, respectively. These limits for tramadol in plasma samples were 3.0 and 8.5 μg L−1, respectively. The recoveries for plasma and urine samples were higher than 91%. 相似文献

A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method with UV detection was developed for the simultaneous determination of arsanilic acid, roxarsone, nitarsone, and carbarsone in the feeds of swine and chicken. Feed samples were extracted with methanol/1% acetic acid (90:10, v/v) in an ultrasonic bath and the protein was precipitated with 2% Cu(2)SO(4). The samples were further purified by solid phase extraction (SPE) on SAX cartridges. Separation was performed on a Zorbax SB-Aq C18 HPLC column using an isocratic procedure with methanol and 1% acetic acid (3:97, v/v) at a flow-rate of 0.7 mL min(-1), and the UV detector was set at a wavelength of 260 nm. The recoveries of organoarsenic compounds spiked at levels of 2, 20 and 200 μg g(-1) ranged from 81.2% to 91.3%; the inter-day relative standard deviation values were less than 7.0%. The limits of quantification for four organoarsenic compounds were 1.0-2.0 μg g(-1). This simple and fast method could be applied to the determination of multi-residues of organic arsenic compounds in animal feeds. 相似文献

An analytical method using a combination of solid-phase extraction (SPE) and gas chromatography with a flame thermionic detector (GC/FTD) was developed for determination of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), N-methylsuccinimide (MSI), and 2-hydroxy-N-methylsuccinimide (2-HMSI) in human urine. The SPE cartridge of poly(divinylbenzene/hydroxymethacrylate) used was directly loaded with urine sample, followed by elution with methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) and subsequent centrifugation, and the supernatant was injected into the capillary GC using a DB1701. This method allowed efficient separation of NMP, MSI, and 2-HMSI, which were nearly free of interference by other GC peaks arising from urine. Recoveries of NMP, MSI, and 2-HMSI from the SPE cartridge were about 98, 101, and 67%, respectively, with limits of detection of 0.04, 0.02, and 0.06 mg/L, respectively, which met the regulatory requirements. The present method was used for assay in biological monitoring of workers exposed to NMP in their occupational environment. 相似文献

High-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) methods have been developed for the detection of uniconazole-P [(E)-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-4,4,-dimethyl-2-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-1-penten-3-ol; XE-1019; the active ingredient in Prunit and Sumagic] in soil and plant tissue samples. Methanolic extracts of soil and plant samples were dried to the aqueous phase, the pH adjusted to 11, and partitioned against methylene chloride. The methylene chloride phases were washed with pH 11 water and then passed through C-18 solid phase extraction (SPE) columns. The soil extracts were then dried and the residues taken up in 1 ml acetonitrile of which 20 l were injected directly onto a C-18 reverse phase analytical column for HPLC analysis. Plant tissue extracts were purified by partitioning and passing through a sequence of Florisil/C-18/Florisil SPE columns before HPLC analysis. Recovery of uniconazole-P was 70% from soils and 40% from plant tissues. Quantitative detection of 10 parts per billion (ppb) uniconazole-P in plant tissues and soil samples was feasible following these procedures. The soil cleanup procedures were also used to detect uniconazole-P in leachates collected from container-grown plants. 相似文献
