Parallel artificial liquid membrane extraction coupled with UPLC-ESI-MS/MS method for high-throughput quantitation of repaglinide in diabetic patients. Talanta 2024; 269:125498. [PMID: 38056419 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.125498] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2023] [Revised: 11/19/2023] [Accepted: 11/25/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023]
Abstract
A high-throughput therapeutic monitoring method was developed for repaglinide (RPG) in diabetic patients, combining parallel artificial liquid membrane extraction (PALME) with ultraperformance liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-MS/MS). PALME was performed using a 96-well donor plate comprising a donor solution containing a plasma sample, 50 mM phosphate buffer (pH = 8.0), and cetirizine (CTZ) as internal standard. A polypropylene (PP) porous membrane served as a selective support for the liquid membrane (SLM), preventing nonspecific binding produced by other membranes. The extraction was accomplished across SLM made of PP membrane with dodecyl acetate and 1 % trioctylamine (w/w), and the acceptor solution comprised DMSO and 200 mM formic acid (50:50, v/v). The simple workflow for PALME provided analyte enrichment, highly efficient sample cleanup, high throughput analysis, and excellent reproducibility. Method validation met FDA criteria, with a linear plasma calibration range (0.1-100 ng mL-1, r = 0.9995) and a lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) of 0.1 ng mL-1. Recovery results at 98.9 % affirmed method reliability. The ability to analyze 198 samples per hour, coupled with a reduced amount of solvents, underscores the method's high throughput and eco-friendly profile. The PALME-UPLC-ESI-MS/MS method was successfully applied to therapeutic drug monitoring of RPG in diabetic patients following 2 mg RPG tablet administration, establishing its effectiveness.

Abstract
Improving hydrophobicity through the regulation of surface microstructures has attracted significant interest in various applications. This research successfully prepared a surface with microsphere structures using the Non-solvent induced phase separation method (NIPS). Poly(D-Lactic acid)-block-poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(D-Lactic acid) (PDLA-PEG-PDLA) block polymers were synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of D-Lactic acid (D-LA) using polyethylene glycol (PEG) as initiator. PLLA/PDLA-PEG-PDLA membrane with microscale microsphere morphology was fabricated using a nonsolvent-induced self-assembly method by blending the triblock copolymer with a poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) solution. In phase separation processes, the amphiphilic block copolymers self-assemble into micellar structures to minimize the Gibbs free energy, and the hydrophilic segments (PEG) aggregate to form the core of the micelles, while the hydrophobic segments (PDLA) are exposed on the outer corona resulting in a core-shell structure. The Stereocomplex Crystalline (SC), formed by the hydrogen bonding between PLLA and PDLA, can facilitate the transition from liquid-liquid phase separation to solid-liquid phase separation, and the PEG chain segments can enhance the formation of SC. The membrane, prepared by adjusting the copolymer content and PEG chain length, exhibited adjustable microsphere quantity, diameter, and surface roughness, enabling excellent hydrophobicity and controlled release of oil-soluble substances.

Abstract
A high-performance polypropylene hollow fiber membrane (PP-HFM) was prepared by using a binary environmentally friendly solvent of polypropylene as the raw material, adopting the thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) method, and adjusting the raw material ratio. The binary diluents were soybean oil (SO) and acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC). The suitable SO/ATBC ratio of 7/3 was based on the size change of the L-L phase separation region in PP-SO/ATBC thermodynamic phase diagram. Through the characterization and comparison of the basic performance of PP-HFMs, it was found that with the increase of the diluent content in the raw materials, the micropores of outer surface of the PP-HFM became larger, and the cross section showed a sponge-like pore structure. The fluoropolymer, Hyflon ADx, was deposited on the outer surface of the hollow fiber membrane using a physical modification method of solution dipping. After modification, the surface pore size of the Hyflon AD40L modified membranes decreased; the contact angle increased to around 107°; the surface energy decreased to 17 mN·m-1; and the surface roughness decreased to 17 nm. Hyflon AD40L/PP-HFMs also had more water resistance properties from the variation of wetting curve. For biocompatibility of the membrane, the adsorption capacity of the modified PP membrane for albumin decreased from approximately 1.2 mg·cm-2 to 1.0 mg·cm-2, and the adsorption of platelets decreased under fluorescence microscopy. The decrease in blood cells and protein adsorption in the blood prolonged the clotting time. In addition, the hemolysis rate of modified PP membrane was reduced to within the standard of 5%, and the cell survival rate of its precipitate was above 100%, which also indicated the excellent biocompatibility of fluoropolymer modified membrane. The improvement of hydrophobicity and blood compatibility makes Hyflon AD/PP-HFMs have the potential for application in membrane oxygenators.

Abstract
Direct sampling of lipids from tissues for direct mass spectrometry (MS) analysis allows a quick profiling of lipidome, which is important for biomedical applications. In this work, we developed a polyporous polymeric membrane (PPM) microprobe for highly efficient sampling of lipids directly from tissue samples. The PPM was prepared by polypropylene with pores as large of 10 μm, facilitating the permeation of lipids from tissue surfaces. The PPM was coated onto a stainless steel wire with a thickness of ∼100 μm. The entire analysis procedure includes sampling of the lipids in tissue, washing the probe, and extraction spray ionization for MS analysis. The effectiveness was validated by analyzing mouse brain tissue samples. It showed high recoveries for a series of lipid classes in comparison with total lipid extraction method. Further demonstration was carried out with analysis of tissue samples from mouse liver, stomach, kidney and legs. With high physical strength and good chemical stability, the microprobe was also demonstrated for sampling lipids inside mouse kidney tissue samples. By incorporating a photochemical derivatization, a workflow was also developed for fast detection of lipid C

Abstract
One of the materials that attracts attention as a potential material for membrane formation is ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). One potential material for membrane formation is ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). The present review summarizes the results of studies carried out over the last 30 years in the field of preparation, modification and structure and property control of membranes made from ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene. The review also presents a classification of the methods of membrane formation from this polymer and analyzes the conventional (based on the analysis of incomplete phase diagrams) and alternative (based on the analysis of phase diagrams supplemented by a boundary line reflecting the polymer swelling degree dependence on temperature) physicochemical concepts of the thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) method used to prepare UHMWPE membranes. It also considers the main ways to control the structure and properties of UHMWPE membranes obtained by TIPS and the original variations of this method. This review discusses the current challenges in UHMWPE membrane formation, such as the preparation of a homogeneous solution and membrane shrinkage. Finally, the article speculates about the modification and application of UHMWPE membranes and further development prospects. Thus, this paper summarizes the achievements in all aspects of UHMWPE membrane studies.
