The effects of N-acetylcysteine amide (NACA), a free radical scavenger, on cataract development were evaluated in Wistar rat pups. Cataract formation was induced in these animals with an intraperitoneal injection of a glutathione (GSH) synthesis inhibitor, l-buthionine-(S,R)-sulfoximine (BSO). To assess whether NACA has a significant impact on BSO-induced cataracts, the rats were divided into four groups: (1) control, (2) BSO only, (3) NACA only, and (4) NACA+BSO. The control group received only saline ip injections on postpartum day 3, the BSO-only group was given ip injections of BSO (4mmol/kg body wt), the NACA-only group received ip injections of only NACA (250mg/kg body wt), and the NACA+BSO group was given a dose of NACA 30min before administration of the BSO injection. The pups were sacrificed on postpartum day 15, after examination under a slit-lamp microscope. Their lenses were analyzed for selective oxidative stress parameters, including glutathione (reduced and oxidized), protein carbonyls, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, and malondialdehyde. The lenses of pups in both the control and the NACA-only groups were clear, whereas all pups within the BSO-only group developed well-defined cataracts. It was found that supplemental NACA injections during BSO treatment prevented cataract formation in most of the rat pups in the NACA+BSO group. Only 20% of these pups developed cataracts, and the rest retained clear lenses. Further, GSH levels were significantly decreased in the BSO-only treated group, but rats that received NACA injections during BSO treatment had these levels of GSH replenished. Our findings indicate that NACA inhibits cataract formation by limiting protein carbonylation, lipid peroxidation, and redox system components, as well as replenishing antioxidant enzymes. 相似文献

A capillary electrophoresis (CE) procedure has been developed for the determination of piracetam in human plasma. Analyses were performed on an uncoated silica capillary using borax buffer modified with the addition of α-cyclodextrin. The detection was UV, operated at 200 nm. The detection limit of the authentic samples was 1 μg/ml. The calibration curve was linear over a range of 4 to 24 μg/ml (r=0.997). Inter-assay R.S.D. was below 9.3%. The described method has been successfully applied to the quantitative determination of piracetam in human plasma and should be useful for clinical and bioavailability investigations. 相似文献

A liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) method was developed and validated for the quantitation of (R)-, (S)-fluoxetine, and (R)-, (S)-norfluoxetine in ovine plasma. The analytes were extracted from ovine plasma at a basic pH using a single-step liquid-liquid extraction with methyl-tert-butyl ether. Chromatographic separation of all enantiomers was achieved using an AGP-chiral column with a run time of 10 min. (R)-, (S)-fluoxetine, and (R)-, (S)-norfluoxetine were quantitated at the total ion current (TIC) of multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) transitions of m/z 310.2→44.1, m/z 310.2→147.7 for (R)-, (S)-fluoxetine, and m/z 296.2→30.3, m/z 296.2→133.9 for (R)-, (S)-norfluoxetine. This method was validated for accuracy, precision, linearity, range, limit of quantitation (LOQ), selectivity, recovery, dilution integrity, matrix effect, and evaluation of carry-over. Observed accuracy ranges were as follows: (R)-fluoxetine -8.82 to 3.75%; (S)-fluoxetine -10.8 to 1.46%; (R)-norfluoxetine -7.50 to 0.37% and (S)-norfluoxetine -8.77% to -1.33%. Observed precision ranges were as follows: (R)-fluoxetine 5.29-11.5%; (S)-fluoxetine 3.91-11.1%; (R)-norfluoxetine 4.32-7.67% and (S)-norfluoxetine -8.77% to -1.33%. The calibration curves were weighted (1/X(2), n=4) and observed to be linear for all analytes with the following r(2) values: (R)-fluoxetine ≥ 0.997; (S)-fluoxetine ≥ 0.996; (R)-norfluoxetine ≥ 0.989 and (S)-norfluoxetine ≥ 0.994. The analytical range of the method was 1-500 ng/ml with an LOQ of 1 ng/ml for all analytes, using a sample volume of 300 μL. 相似文献

An enantioselective gas chromatographic method has been developed and validated for the determination of the plasma concentration of the enantiomers of the anticancer drug ifosfamide (IFF). In this approach, the IFF enantiomers are separated from the plasma matrix by solid phase extraction, chromatographically resolved by gas chromatography on a chiral stationary phase, and detected by mass selective detection using selective ion monitoring. The assay has been validated for routine clinical and pharmacokinetic use and has a limit of detection in plasma of 250 ng/ml of each isomer. 相似文献

The separation of cimetidine from the metabolites cimetidine amide and cimetidine sulfoxide, endogenous creatinine and the internal standard ranitidine was achieved by capillary electrophoresis in less than 5 min. All compounds were well separated from cimetidine, including possible plasma ingredients, as the UV spectra of cimetidine standard and cimetidine from the plasma extract match. Plasma levels of cimetidine were determined in the range 250–3000 ng/ml in plasma and higher concentrations were determined by dilution of the sample with blank plasma. 相似文献

The teratogenicity of phenytoin may result from its enzymatic bioactivation to a reactive intermediate, which, if not detoxified, can interact with embryonic tissues and alter development. Glutathione (GSH) is an important cofactor/substrate for many physiological processes and for the detoxification of xenobiotic reactive intermediates. This study examined the effects of the GSH depletor diethyl maleate (DEM) and the GSH synthesis inhibitor L-buthionine-(S,R)-sulfoximine (BSO) on phenytoin embryopathy. Phenytoin, 55 mg/kg, was administered intraperitoneally (ip) to pregnant CD-1 mice at 0900 hr on gestational days 12 and 13. Pretreatment with DEM, 150 or 300 mg/kg ip, enhanced the incidence of phenytoin-induced cleft palates by 3.3-fold and 2.3-fold, respectively (P less than 0.05), without affecting the incidence of resorptions, postpartum death, or mean fetal weight. BSO, 1,800 mg/kg ip, given 0.5 hr prior to phenytoin, resulted in a 2.4-fold increase in postpartum lethality and a 5-fold increase in fetal weight loss (P less than 0.05), without altering the incidence of resorptions or cleft palates. In two subsequent studies, BSO, 680-1,018 mg/kg/day, was given in the drinking water on gestational days 9 to 13 in the first study and on days 10 to 14 in the second study. Phenytoin, 55 mg/kg ip, was given on days 11 and 12 and on days 11 to 13 in the respective studies. In the first drinking water study, BSO enhanced the incidence of phenytoin-induced fetal resorptions 3.8-fold and cleft palates 3.3-fold (P less than 0.05) but did not affect postpartum death. In the second study, BSO enhanced the incidence of resorptions, cleft palates, and postpartum death by 2-fold, 2.6-fold, and 1.7-fold, respectively (P less than 0.05). In both of the latter two studies, phenytoin-induced fetal weight loss was altered by BSO treatment (P less than 0.05). BSO alone had no embryopathic effects. These results suggest that GSH may be involved in the detoxification of a reactive intermediate of phenytoin and/or in fetal cytoprotection. 相似文献

Quantitation of apolipoprotein A-IV in human plasma using a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A method for measuring human apolipoprotein A-IV has been developed using the competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) system. The assay described is relatively easy, rapid, and inexpensive to perform, uses convenient dilutions of plasma (1/8-1/32) but is sensitive enough to quantitate the apoA-IV content of lipoproteins following gel filtration of small (0.3-0.5 ml) volumes of plasma. The working range is 100-600 ng of apoA-IV per 50-microliters sample and the intra- and interassay coefficients of variations are 7.5 and 10.2% (means), respectively. The mean apoA-IV concentration of 100 subjects was found to be 16.4 +/- 5.4 mg/dl. The assay can be performed on untreated plasma samples which may be stored frozen (-20 degrees C) for up to 2 months. 相似文献

Capillary gel electrophoresis using UV detection (CGE-UV) has been used to quantify oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) in human plasma. Although the sensitivity of this method is adequate to detect antisense ODN, which are administered in daily doses up to 10 mg/kg, CGE-UV is not sensitive enough to detect the much lower quantities of ODN administered for other purposes, such as immune stimulation by CpG ODN. We have developed a very sensitive colorimetric hybridization assay that increases the sensitivity of detection by more than four logs compared with CGE-UV. The hybridization assay uses sequence-specific capture and detection ODN probes complementary to portions of the ODN sequence. Herein we provide a prototype for assay development and validation using a 24- mer immunostimulatory phosphorothioate ODN. Probes were locked nucleic acids (LNA), resulting in increased sensitivity and specificity. The linear range of the assay is 7.8-1000 pg/ml, with a 7.8 pg/ml lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) and a detection limit of 2.8 pg/ml. This translates to detection of 40 attamoles. Intraassay and interassay precision were < or =5.0% CV and < or =12.9% CV, respectively, for quality control samples. The assay is suitable for a variety of matrices, including monkey and rat plasma, allowing application to toxicokinetic samples. The methodology is highly specific, with the ability to distinguish almost all single-base mismatched ODN. The assay detects 100% of the parent as well as some metabolites up to N-4, which are known to be the primary metabolites forming in the first hours after in vivo administration and are physiologically active with in vitro assays. 相似文献

24(S)-hydroxycholesterol [24(S)-HC] is a cholesterol metabolite that is formed almost exclusively in the brain. The concentrations of 24(S)-HC in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and/or plasma might be a sensitive marker of altered cholesterol metabolism in the CNS. A highly sensitive 2D-LC-MS/MS assay was developed for the quantification of 24(S)-HC in human plasma and CSF. In the development of an assay for 24(S)-HC in CSF, significant nonspecific binding of 24(S)-HC was observed and resolved with the addition of 2.5% 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) into CSF samples. The sample preparation consists of liquid-liquid extraction with methyl-tert-butyl ether and derivatization with nicotinic acid. Good linearity was observed in a range from 1 to 200 ng/ml and from 0.025 to 5 ng/ml, for plasma and CSF, respectively. Acceptable precision and accuracy were obtained for concentrations over the calibration curve ranges. Stability of 24(S)-HC was reported under a variety of storage conditions. This method has been successfully applied to support a National Institutes of Health-sponsored clinical trial of HP-β-CD in Niemann-Pick type C1 patients, in which 24(S)-HC is used as a pharmacodynamic biomarker. 相似文献

A selective and reproducible high-performance capillary electrophoretic (HPCE) method for the quantification of amikacin (AMK), an aminocyclitol antibiotic, in human plasma, has been developed for use in clinical laboratory tests. The method involves ultrafiltration (UF) of plasma before derivatization with the fluorescence derivatization reagent 1-methoxy-carbonylindolizine-3,5-dicarbaldehyde at room temperature for 15 min in the dark. An aliquot of the derivatives is directly introduced into the fused-silica capillary [75 cm (effective length)×50 μm I.D.] at the anode side by dynamic compression injection (50 hPa for 6 s). After electrophoresis with 40 mM SDS-20 mM phosphate-borate buffer (pH 7) in the micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) mode at 30 kV, the derivative had a retention time of 16.7 min and was detected by fluorescence intensity at 482 nm (with irradiation at 414 nm). The precision (n = 5) of the method is 4.08 and 1.59% (C.V.) at the 50 and 100 μg AMK/ml plasma levels, respectively. Linearity (r = 0.998) was established over the concentration range 5–100 mg of AMK/ml plasma and the detection limit (at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3) is 0.5 μg AMK/ml plasma. This assay method could potentially have wider application in the determination of other aminocyclitol antibiotics, such as arbekacin, dibekacin, kanamycin, in human plasma as well as of AMK. 相似文献

A method based on capillary electrophoresis has been developed for the analysis of the novel antidepressant drug duloxetine in human plasma. The method makes use of laser-induced fluorescence detection after derivatisation of the analyte with 5-(4,6-dichlorotriazinyl)aminofluorescein at pH 11. A single step liquid/liquid extraction procedure with a mixture of hexane/2-propanol allows the sample clean-up with extraction yields always ≥84% and interference removal. The electrophoretic separation is achieved using uncoated fused silica capillaries (60.0 cm effective length, 75.0 cm total length, 50 μm internal diameter) and a background electrolyte composed of borate buffer (40 mM, pH 10.3), tetrabutylammonium bromide (10 mM), and acetone (10%, v/v). The applied voltage is 20 kV; the samples are injected by pressure (50 mbar × 8 s). The method has been fully validated in terms of linearity range (2.5–150 ng mL?1), LOD and LOQ (1.0 and 2.5 ng mL?1, respectively), precision (R.S.D. < 6.7%) and accuracy (recovery >78%). Application to samples obtained from patients under treatment with duloxetine gave good results. The method represents the first application of capillary electrophoresis to the analysis of duloxetine in human plasma. 相似文献

The estimation of genetic instability by direct extent of DNA damage and repair is an important aspect of studies on mutagenesis,
carcinogenesis, aging and evolution. Different methods have been introduced from time to time in an effort to meet this need.
Single cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE) assay is a new, simple and sensitive method of evaluating DNA damage and repair at
individual cell level. This assay can be performed on extremely small number of cells and results can be obtained within a
relatively short time. The SCGE assay has the potential to play an important role not only in the understanding of some of
the fundamental aspects of human biology but also can be helpful in many practical ways.

In this research, a capillary electrophoretic method for the fast enantiomeric resolution of (R,S)-naproxen was investigated. Method development involved variation of applied potential, buffer concentration, buffer pH, and cyclodextrin concentration. The optimum electrophoretic separation conditions were 110 mM sodium acetate run buffer (pH 6.0), 30 mM methyl-beta-cyclodextrin, 20% (v/v) acetonitrile, 25 degrees C. The total length of capillary was 48 cm, (50 microm I.D.) with ultra violet (UV) detection at 232 nm. Using these conditions, the number of theoretical plates was close to one million (896,000/m). The possibility of achieving a fast chiral separation of (R,S)-naproxen on a microchip of 2.5 cm in length was investigated. Complete enantiomeric resolution of naproxen was achieved in less than 1 min, on this microchip platform, with linear imaging UV detection. This system had the advantage of real-time separation monitoring, so that enantiomeric resolution could be visually observed, and high-speed chiral analysis was realized. The microchip electrophoresis (MCE) separation was compared with the capillary electrophoresis (CE) separation with regards to speed, efficiency, separation platform, and precision. This work highlights the potential of CE and MCE in future chiral separations. 相似文献

Pralidoxime methylsulfate (Contrathion) is widely used to treat organophosphate poisoning. For the first time, we developed a specific assay for urinary pralidoxime using capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) in the following conditions: fused-silica capillary (length: 47 cm, internal diameter: 75 microm), electrolyte solution: 25 mM sodium borate (pH 9.1), voltage: 15 kV, temperature: 25 degrees C, injection time: 1 or 2s, on-line UV detection: 280 nm. Sample preparation did not require a deproteinization step (1:5 dilution in water). The method was linear between 0.125 and 2 mg mL-1 of pralidoxime (quantification limit: 0.10 mg mL-1). Coefficients of variation for intra- and inter-assay precision were below 10% for all three control levels (0.15-1.15 mg mL-1). This assay was successfully applied to urine specimens from organophosphate poisoned patients treated by Contrathion (n=10). This CZE method allows the measure of pralidoxime in urine within 15 min with excellent precision, selectivity, and sensitivity. It is simple (no pretreatment) and convenient, thus suitable for the monitoring of Contrathion therapy in organophosphate poisoned patients. 相似文献

We have developed a capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) method for determining amoxicillin in animal plasma samples. Sample clean-up involved solid-phase extraction onto Sep-Pak C18 cartridges followed by elution with water–methanol (85:15). This paper describes two different techniques to increase the sensitivity of the CZE method: field-amplified sample injection (FASI) and electrokinetic injection. We have enhanced the detection limit to 280 μg l−1 by the FASI technique. 相似文献

Concentrations of tryptophan and its metabolites in plasma are of great interest in determining proper diagnosis and medication of several neurological diseases like, for example, Alzheimer's disease. A method of standard addition was developed to determine total level of tryptophan and two of its metabolites, kynurenine and kynurenic acid, in human plasma by capillary liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. Plasma samples were simply deproteinized by addition of diluted perchloric acid. Samples were then mixed with trichloroacetic acid and injected onto a capillary column. Analytes were separated by a fast gradient elution of the injected samples. Detection was performed by sheathless electrospray tandem mass spectrometry in the multiple reaction monitoring mode. Linear calibration curves were obtained for spiked plasma sample with up to 100% of the expected analytes concentrations. The determined concentrations were well within ranges previously reported (i.e., 6 nM-95 microM) and limit of detections were around 3 nM for each analyte. 相似文献

The antioxidant capacity of human plasma was determined by following the oxidation kinetics of the lipid-soluble fluorescent marker BODIPY using 2,2'-azobis(4-methoxy-2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile) (MeO-AMVN) as the lipophilic radical initiator. The results are expressed as a total antioxidant performance (TAP) value based on the inhibition of BODIPY oxidation, as determined by the appearance of green fluorescence, with respect to a control sample (phosphatidylcholine with or without delipidized human serum). The suitability of the assay was evaluated on the basis of its precision, reproducibility, and specificity. The intra- and interassay coefficients of variation both were less than 5%. The addition of a representative substrate of plasma peroxidation, phosphatidylcholine, up to 750mug/ml did not induce significant changes in the TAP value. Also, BODIPY photooxidation was not observed during the experimental time course (220min). The TAP values of 6 plasma samples from healthy donors were measured and correlated with the main plasma water- and lipid-soluble antioxidants (uric acid and ascorbic acid, alpha-tocopherol, and carotenoids) and lipid profiles. Significant correlations were found between TAP and uric acid (R=0.97, P<0.05) and cholesterol-adjusted alpha-tocopherol (R=0.93, P<0.01). The results confirm that the TAP assay is suitable to measure the antioxidant activity of plasma antioxidants localized in both the lipophilic and hydrophilic compartments. 相似文献

A rapid and sensitive capillary electrophoretic method for the determination of idarubicin and its metabolite idarubicinol in plasma has been developed and validated. Plasma is extracted by liquid-liquid extraction using chloroform. Idarubicin, idarubicinol and the internal standard daunorubicin can be separated in less than 5 min using a phosphate buffer of pH 5 with 70% acetonitrile. Laser-induced fluorescence detection with an Ar ion laser operated at 488 nm provides a sensitive and selective detection method without interferences from biological fluids. The small sample volume of 100 μl is of particular advantage for studies in pediatric oncology. The reproducibility of the method has been shown to be sufficient for drug monitoring or pharmacokinetic studies. The limit of quantification for idarubicin in plasma is 0.5 ng/ml. 相似文献
