LUMINESCENCE 2024; 39:e4815. [PMID: 38972855 DOI: 10.1002/bio.4815] [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: 01/14/2024] [Revised: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/09/2024]
Abstract
A green micellar synchronous spectrofluorimetric method was developed and validated for simultaneous determination of tripelennamine hydrochloride and diphenhydramine in bulk and combined pharmaceutical formulation. Synchronous fluorescence of tripelennamine hydrochloride and diphenhydramine was determined using Δλ = 60 nm. The first derivative of synchronous fluorescence was computed to resolve overlap in the synchronous fluorescence spectra. Tripelennamine hydrochloride was quantified at 375 nm, whereas diphenhydramine was quantified at 293 nm; each is the zero-crossing point of the other. As diphenhydramine exhibited weak native fluorescence, micelle enhancement upon incorporation of sodium dodecyl sulfate was considered. Two-level full factorial design was carried out to optimize experimental parameters. Optimum conditions involved using SDS (2% w/v) along with Teorell and Stenhagen buffer (pH 9). The method was found to be linear over the range 0.2-4.5 and 0.2-5 μg/mL for tripelennamine and diphenhydramine, respectively, with limits of detection 0.211 and 0.159 μg/mL. The method was successfully applied for simultaneous determination of tripelennamine hydrochloride and diphenhydramine in laboratory-prepared gel containing all possible excipients with mean percent recoveries ±SD 100.59 ± 0.79 and 98.99 ± 0.98 for tripelennamine hydrochloride and diphenhydramine, respectively. The proposed method was proved to be eco-friendly using different greenness assessment tools.

Abstract
A simple, fast, sensitive and reproducible micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC)-UV method for the determination of nikethamide (NKD) in human urine and pharmaceutical formulation has been developed and validated. The method exhibits high trueness, good precision, short analysis time and low reagent consumption. NKD is an organic compound belonging to the psychoactive stimulants used as an analeptic drugs. The proposed analytical procedure consists of few steps: dilution of urine or drug in distilled water, centrifugation for 2 min (12,000g), separation by MEKC and ultraviolet-absorbance detection of NKD at 260 nm. The background electrolyte used was 0.035 mol/L pH 9 borate buffer with the addition of 0.05 mol/L sodium dodecyl sulfate and 6.5% ACN. Effective separation was achieved within 5.5 min under a voltage of 21 kV (~90 μA) using a standard fused-silica capillary (effective length 51 cm, 75 μm i.d.). The determined limit of detection for NKD in urine was 1 μmol/L (0.18 μg/mL). The calibration curve obtained for NKD in urine showed linearity in the range 4-280 μmol/L (0.71-49.90 μg/mL), with R2 0.9998. The RSD of the points of the calibration curve varied from 5.4 to 9.5%. The analytical procedure was successfully applied to analysis of pharmaceutical formulation and spiked urine samples from healthy volunteers.

Abstract
A capillary electrophoretic (CE) method for analyzing five basic dyes (Basic Red 76, Basic Brown 16, Basic Yellow 57, Basic Brown 17 and Basic Blue 99) sold under the trade name Arianor, which are commonly used in hair care products, has been established. A buffer of 100 mM acetic acid-ammonium acetate (50:50) containing 90% (v/v) methanol was employed in a fused-silica capillary of 40.0 cm x 50 microm I.D. with a bubble cell arrangement. Washing the capillary end immediately after injection was effective in preventing peak tailing of the basic dyes, which was due to their adsorption onto the outer wall of the capillary during the injection. Under these optimized conditions, acceptable results for reproducibility, limit of detection and quantitation, and linearity were obtained for the five authentic dyes tested. The recoveries of five authentic basic dyes spiked to three commercial hair care products also provided with acceptable results. This optimized CE method is useful for the analysis of mixed basic dyes in hair care products.

Abstract
Traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) with many unique functions for treating diseases have attracted the interest of people worldwide. They have been popularly utilized for therapy and health promotion in most Asian countries and even in many European and North American countries. However, it should be clearly noted that TCMs are mixtures with complicated composition usually containing hundreds, even thousands of chemically different constituents, and it is the multiple constituents that work synthetically to determine the ultimate effect of a formula of TCM. Meanwhile, some components with toxicity in some TCMs, having various negative effects on different parts of body, may do serious harm to people's health; such harm in particular requires our attention. In this article, applications of different chromatographic and electrophoretic techniques in the analysis of toxic components in TCMs in recent decades have been comprehensively reviewed and some hyphenated procedures (combinations of two kinds of measurement) applied in this field are also summarized.

Abstract
Electrophoretic mobility of salmeterol and phenylpropanolamine in capillary electrophoresis has been determined using acetate buffer containing different concentrations of water, methanol and acetonitrile. Maximum electrophoretic mobilities for salmeterol and phenylpropanolamine have been observed at water-methanol-acetonitrile (5:50:45, v/v) and (3:60:37, v/v), respectively, while minimum mobilities of both compounds occurred at methanol-acetonitrile (30:70, v/v). The generated experimental data have been used to evaluate a mathematical model to compute the electrophoretic mobility of the analytes. The proposed model reproduced the mobility data with mean percentage deviations within 1-4%.

Abstract
The electrophoretic mobilities of two beta-blocker drugs, i.e., labetalol and atenolol, have been determined in a mixed solvent background electrolyte system containing sodium acetate+acetic acid as buffering agent and different volume fractions of water, methanol and ethanol using capillary electrophoresis. The produced data and three other sets collected from a recent work are employed to study the accuracy and prediction capability of a mathematical model to calculate the electrophoretic mobility with respect to the volume fractions of the solvents in the mixture. The results show that the proposed model is able to correlate/predict the mobility within an acceptable error range and it is possible to use the model in industry to achieve the optimum solvent composition for the buffer where using a ternary solvent system is required. The average percentage deviations (APDs) obtained for correlated and predicted data points are 0.71-2.48 and 1.72-4.39%, respectively. The accuracy of the proposed model is compared with that of a mixture response surface method and the results show that the proposed model is superior from both correlation and prediction points of view. The possibility of calculation of the mobility of chemically related drugs in water-methanol-ethanol mixtures using the proposed model is also shown and the produced prediction APD is approximately 8%.

Abstract
A hydrophilic fluorescent derivatization reagent for fatty acids, 4-N-(4-N-aminoethyl)piperazino-7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD-PZ-NH(2)), was designed and synthesized. NBD-PZ-NH(2) possesses not only a fluorophore and a reacting group but also a positive charge group and, thus, was hydrophilic and suitable for application to capillary electrophoresis. NBD-PZ-NH(2) reacted with fatty acids in the presence of triphenylphosphine (TPP) and 2,2'-dipyridyl disulfide (DPDS) at room temperature within 10 min. The derivatives were strongly fluoresced and were positively charged at pH below 3. The derivatives of C4-C20 fatty acids were separated within 10 min in 50% acetonitrile in water containing 30 mM ammonium acetate and 1.0 M acetic acid by capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence (CE-LIF) detection. The detection limits attained were 6.5 nM (signal-to-noise ratio of 3). It is proposed that NBD-PZ-NH(2) is a prominent derivatization reagent for fatty acids which is suitable for CE-LIF application.

Abstract
A rapid method for the determination of Vinca alkaloids by nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis with diode array detection has been developed. A group of 11 alkaloids (catharanthine, vinorelbine, anhydrovinblastine, vinflunine, vindoline, 4-O-deacetylvinorelbine, 4-O-deacetylvinflunine, vindesine, vinblastine, 4'-deoxy-20',20'-difluorovinblastine, vincristine) could be readily separated within 10 min. The compounds were separated using a capillary of 38 cm effective length, a running buffer composed of 50 mM ammonium acetate and 0.6 M acetic acid in a methanol-acetonitrile (75:25, v/v) mixture. A constant voltage of 25 kV with a ramp time of 1 min and a 344.7 x 10(3) Pa pressure, applied simultaneously to inlet and outlet buffer vials, were used during sample analysis. Five of these alkaloids were selected for optimization of the separation and for validation studies with respect to specificity, linearity, range, limits of quantification and detection and then accuracy. The feasibility of the assay was demonstrated by analyzing a commercial sample of vinorelbine (Navelbine, ampoule at 10 mg/ml of vinorelbine base). The results were compared with a high-performance liquid chromatography method.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to develop an analytical method for measuring amounts of a dendro[60]fullerene (DF) which is a highly water-soluble [60]fullerene derivative. We tried to define a straightforward methodology using capillary zone electrophoresis, a method which, to our knowledge, has not yet been used to that purpose. Preliminary assays showed that DF has almost the same mobility than the electroosmotic flow (EOF) but in the opposite direction. Attempts were carried out to reduce the EOF and positive results were obtained by adding hydroxypropylcellulose to the background electrolyte. In order to define optimal operating conditions, a Taguchi experimental plan was used to study simultaneously the effects of the main parameters that are pH, ionic strength, methanol amount and hydroxypropylcellulose concentration. Two parameters are of the utmost importance as to their effect on the migration time and separation efficiecy: pH and ionic strength whose actions are opposite.

Abstract
Tamoxifen is an antiestrogen drug used to treat breast cancer. We have extracted tamoxifen and several of its metabolites from urine of patients with both metastatic (stage IV) and locally confined (stages I, II, and III) breast cancer. Analysis of these metabolites was performed by nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis with electrospray-mass spectrometry. Peak heights from extracted ion current electropherograms of the metabolites were used to establish a metabolic profile for each patient. We demonstrate substantial variation among patient profiles, statistically significant differences in the amount of urinary tamoxifen N-oxide found in stages I, II, and III compared to stage IV breast cancer patients, and statistically significant differences in the amount of 3,4-dihydroxytamoxifen found in progressors compared to nonprogressors with metastatic (stage IV) cancer.

Abstract
The mobilities of cationic analytes in organic solvents and water are compared, and the reasons for differences in the mobilities are discussed in detail. Actual mobilities (at background electrolyte concentration 10 mmol/l) of anilinium ions were determined by capillary zone electrophoresis in water, methanol, acetonitrile and mixtures of methanol and acetonitrile (in volume ratios 1:1, 1:3 and 3:1). The actual mobilities correlated with the viscosity of the organic solvent: the products of actual mobility and viscosity were constant within 7%. However, these products were significantly larger in water. Larger products of mobility and viscosity in water were also found for unsubstituted anilinium when the absolute mobility (at zero ionic strength) was taken into consideration. Thus, ion-solvent interactions must be responsible for the seemingly high mobility in water compared with that in organic solvents. This finding can be explained by the effect of the ion on the water structure. Based on equilibrium constant for ion-pair formation given in the literature, about 20% of the main background electrolyte constituent (tetrapropylammonium perchlorate) is associated at 10 mmol/l concentration in acetonitrile. Comparison of the plot of the measured mobilities of the analytes vs. the square root of the corrected ionic strength of the background electrolyte in acetonitrile with the prediction based on the Debye-Hückel-Onsager theory showed the measured mobilities deviate negatively from the theoretical line. This is apparently due to ion pairing, which takes place for the analytes as well.

Abstract
Nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis coupled to UV detection is described for the separation and determination of steroidal alkaloids. After optimization of electrophoretic parameters, including the electrolyte nature and the organic solvent composition, a reliable separation of solasodine and solanidine was achieved in a methanol-acetonitrile (20:80, v/v) mixture containing 25 mM ammonium acetate and 1 M acetic acid. For quantitative purposes, a fused-silica capillary with a bubble cell was used and detection was performed at low wavelength (195 nm). Method performances, including migration time and peak area reproducibility, linearity, sensitivity and accuracy, were also evaluated. The method was applied to determine solasodine in Solanum elaeagnifolium berries and Solanum sodomaeum leaves and seeds. To further improve sensitivity in the analysis of solasodine-related compounds, solanidine, demissidine and tomatidine, the developed method was interfaced with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. In the case of solasodine, the detection limit was estimated at 3 microg/ml for NACE-UV and at 0.05 microg/ml for NACE-MS, in the selected ion-monitoring mode.

Abstract
Nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis (NACE) is the application of a conductive electrolyte dissolved in either one organic solvent or a mixture of several organic solvents to carry out zone electrophoresis or related techniques in fused-silica capillaries. A complete review on the fundamentals, the optimization of analytical methods, practical considerations, and applications is given. To explain the differences to CE in aqueous media, a brief summary on solvent properties and molecular interactions in solutions introduces the reader into these fields. The use of additives to tune separation selectivity by means beyond a pure zone-electrophoretic mechanism is discussed in detail for organic media. Special detection techniques providing high potential for NACE are presented. Data on the precision of NACE methods and a list of relevant applications are included.

Abstract
Nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis (NACE) is a chemical separation technique that has grown in popularity over the past few years. In this report, we focus on the combination of heteroconjugation and deprotonation in the NACE separation of phenols using acetonitrile (ACN) as the buffer solvent. By preparing various dilute buffers consisting of carboxylic acids and tetrabutylammonium hydroxide in ACN, selectivity may be manipulated based on a solute's dissociation constant as well as its ability to form heterogeneous ions with the buffer components. ACN's low viscosity, coupled with its ability to allow for heteroconjugation, often leads to rapid and efficient separations that are not possible in aqueous media. In this report, equations are derived showing the dependence of mobility on various factors, including the pKa of the analyte, the pH and concentration of the buffer, and the analyte-buffer heteroconjugation constant (Kf). The validity of these equations is tested as several nitrophenols are separated at different pH values and concentrations. Using nonlinear regression, the Kf values for the heteroconjugate formation between the nitrophenols and several carboxylate anions are calculated. Also presented in this report are the NACE separations of the 19 chlorophenol congeners and the 11 priority pollutant phenols (used in US Environmental Protection Agency methods 604, 625/1625 and 8270B).

Abstract
It has been shown that non-aqueous capillary electrophoresis (NACE) can provide improved separations in comparison to those obtained using conventional CE under aqueous conditions (ACE). Previous work carried out in our laboratories involving initial investigations into the technique have been reported. Based on the findings of that work it was possible to separate a variety of basic pharmaceuticals from selected impurities and to obtain the successful separation of some hydrophobic sulphonic acids. The successful coupling of NACE to mass spectrometry (NACE-MS) has also been demonstrated.

Abstract
The current status of capillary electrophoresis (CE) in pharmaceutical analyses is reviewed with about 300 references, mainly from 1996 until 1999. This article covers the use of CE for assay and purity determination of the main component, analysis of natural medicines, antisense DNA, peptides, and proteins. Analysis of hydrophobic and/or electrically neutral drugs by electrokinetic chromatography, capillary electrochromatography and nonaqueous CE is critically evaluated. Detailed techniques for the separation of enantiomers are given in the text with some actual applications. Furthermore, this review includes sensitivity and regulatory aspects for the actual use of CE in new drug applications (NDA). The analytical validation required for CE in NDA is also treated.

Abstract
A simple nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis method is described for the separation of several atropine and scopolamine related drugs. The analysis of these pharmaceutical compounds was performed in a methanol-acetonitrile (25/5, v/v) mixture containing 25 mM ammonium acetate and 1 M acetic acid. The robustness was proved using a full factorial design at two levels. The method was validated and successfully applied for the determination of N-butylscopolamine in different pharmaceutical preparations. Results were compared to those obtained by a capillary electrophoresis method based on aqueous media.

Abstract
A capillary electrophoretic (CE) method for the enantioseparation of N-protected chiral amino acids was developed using quinine and tert-butyl carbamoylated quinine as chiral selectors added to nonaqueous electrolyte solutions (NACE). A series of various N-derivatized amino acids were tested as chiral selectands, and in order to optimize the CE enantioseparation of these compounds, different parameters were investigated: the nature of the organic solvent, the combination of different solvents, the nature and the concentration of the background electrolyte, the selector concentration, the capillary temperature, and the applied voltage. The influence of these factors on the separation of the analyte enantiomers and the electroosmotic flow was studied. Generally, with tert-butyl carbamoylated quinine as chiral selector, better enantioseparations were achieved than with unmodified quinine. Optimum experimental conditions were found with a buffer made of 12. 5 mM ammonia, 100 mM octanoic acid, and 10 mM tert-butyl carbamoylated quinine in an ethanol-methanol mixture (60:40 v/v). Under these conditions, DNB-Leu enantiomers could be separated with a selectivity factor (alpha) of 1.572 and a resolution (Rs) of 64.3; a plate number (N) of 127,000 and an asymmetry factor (As) of 0.93 were obtained for the first migrating enantiomer.

Abstract
Non-aqueous capillary electrophoresis with electrochemical detection (NACE-ED) was applied to the determination of nicotine. The measurements were performed using an acetonitrile-based buffer. Nicotine was shown to yield well defined voltammetric signals suitable for oxidative detection. The precision of NACE-ED regarding migration time and peak height for samples containing 8 micrograms/ml nicotine is expressed by relative standard deviations of 0.1% and 1.6%, respectively (n = 8). The limit of detection for nicotine was 13 ng/ml (286 fg). For nicotine determination in tobacco samples various solutions were studied regarding the extraction efficiency in an ultrasonic bath. The highest extraction efficiency was obtained using a solvent mixture consisting of acetonitrile-acetic acid-water (20:5:75, v/v). The results for nicotine determination in tobacco were evaluated using tobacco reference material with certified nicotine content. Analytical aspects such as accuracy, reproducibility and selectivity were addressed in this work. The measurements were based on the use of a newly developed electrochemical detector cell which was found to enable user-friendly operation of NACE-ED measurements.

Abstract
A fast and simple method for separation of 16 seizure drug substances using capillary electrophoresis in a non-aqueous separation medium is described. The separation medium consists of a mixture of acetonitrile, methanol and glycerol with ammonium acetate/acetic acid as the electrolyte. The analytes are detected by UV detection at 214 nm. Injection from the detection end (8.5 cm to detector) combined with the usage of a short capillary (32.5 cm total length) makes it possible to separate all 16 amines within 2 min. The choice of solvents, electrolytes and viscosity increasing additives are discussed with special emphasis to their influence on the separation selectivity.

Abstract
Non-aqueous capillary electrophoresis was used to study the separation selectivity of positively charged drug substances and negatively charged diuretics. Study was made of the effects of organic solvent composition and the background electrolyte on the separation. The separation selectivity could be altered considerably by varying the methanol/acetonitrile composition. In addition, the migration order and the resolution of the pharmaceuticals could be altered merely by changing the electrolyte cation or the anion. The electrolytes tested were alkali metal acetates, ammonium acetate, ammonium chloride and ammonium bromide. As with aqueous background electrolyte solutions, the electroosmotic flow was decreased with increasing size of the alkali metal cation of the electrolyte in methanol/acetonitrile 50:50 (v/v).

Abstract
This minireview addresses the usefulness of nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (NACE-MS), mainly in the analysis of lipophilic peptides such as gramicidin S and bacitracin, and therapeutic drugs such as pyrazoloacridine, the H2-antagonist mifentidine, tamoxifen, and their metabolites. The beneficial effects of NACE-MS in typical bioanalytical applications are analyzed case by case. A suitable and widely applicable NACE-MS analysis is identified, which is an electrolyte buffer containing ammonium acetate (5-50 mM) and/or acetic acid (up to 100 mM) with varying composition of organic solvents. Either acetonitrile or methanol or a mixture of the two are mostly utilized in the nonaqueous media. Primary considerations in developing NACE-MS are also discussed.

Abstract
For the separation of neutral compounds by micellar electrokinetic chromatography, separations are usually carried out in predominantly aqueous solution in order to preserve the charged micelle necessary for the separation. We now show that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) compounds can be separated efficiently by capillary electrophoresis in pure methanol or in aqueous-organic mixtures containing a high percentage of methanol. Sodium tetradecyl sulfate was the preferred surfactant. The effects of pH, solvent composition, surfactant structure, and surfactant concentration on the separations were studied. Reproducible migration times and linear calibration plots were obtained.

Abstract
Non-aqueous capillary electrophoresis was investigated for its potential in the analysis of pharmaceutical compounds, namely tropane alkaloids and amphetamine derivatives. The separation of these drugs was compared in aqueous and organic media such as methanol and/or acetonitrile. Selectivity, migration times and efficiency were critically affected by the composition of the methanol/acetonitrile mixture, as well as by the nature and the concentration of the electrolyte. In particular, the migration orders of two positional isomers, littorine and hyoscyamine, were inverted in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid in the nonaqueous medium. The same behavior was observed for amphetamine-methamphetamine and for two methylenedioxyamphetamine derivatives.

Abstract
A capillary electrophoretic (CE) method for the analysis of urinary extracts of the local anesthetic, bupivacaine, and its three main metabolites, desbutylbupivacaine, 3'-hydroxybupivacaine, and 4'-hydroxybupivacaine, in rat urine has been developed. The limits of detection were 0.22 microM for desbutylbupivacaine and bupivacaine, 0.15 microM for 3'-hydroxybupivacaine, and 0.16 microM for 4'-hydroxybupivacaine. The linear range was from 0.7 microM to 16.8 microM for all four compounds. Migration time and peak height reproducibilities, and extraction efficiencies were determined for all four compounds. Peak height reproducibilities (n = 5) for the overall method were improved through the use of prilocaine as an internal standard. Peak height reproducibilities were 5.6% RSD for desbutylbupivacaine and bupivacaine, and 9.9% RSD for 3'-hydroxybupivacaine and 4'-hydroxybupivacaine. Migration time reproducibilities (n = 5) were 2.4% for all compounds. Urine samples were collected from rats administered therapeutic doses of bupivacaine and extracted using a solid-phase extraction method (SPE). Separation of bupivacaine and its metabolites was achieved in 15 min.

Abstract
The feasibility of combining nonaqueous capillary zone electrophoresis with indirect fluorescence detection was studied for the efficient separation and sensitive detection of ionizable hydrophobic substances which do not possess practically suitable detection properties. Medium- and long-chain free fatty acids, C6-C24, were selected as test compounds. The results showed that such a wide range of medium- and long-chain free fatty acids could be separated between any two consecutive homologs in one run and be detected at a level of about 0.01-0.02 mM in highly basic methanol/acetonitrile media containing fluorescein as coion of background electrolyte for indirect fluorescence detection.

Abstract
The use of nonaqueous electrophoresis media for the application of capillary electrophoresis in the analysis of food, pharmaceuticals and biological fluids is reviewed. Some of the applications are discussed in detail and the benefits of using nonaqueous media in these cases are outlined. Three new applications within pharmaceutical analyses are presented. In these methods either a simple sample pretreatment by dilution with methanol (determination of chlorhexidine in a cream) or selective on-line capillary electrophoresis mass spectrometry (methods for identification of seizure drugs or opium alkaloids) are used. The choice of organic solvents and electrolytes for nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis are discussed. Furthermore, validation data obtained using capillary electrophoresis based on the nonaqueous principle are listed and discussed.

Abstract
The use of nonaqueous media and indirect detection is reported for the separation and detection of a range of small cations. The novel applications involved separation of a range of metal ions, small nonchromophoric amines, cationic ion-pair reagents and cationic surfactants. Separations were achieved using acidified methanol containing imidazole as the UV co-ion for indirect detection. The methods produced different selectivity compared to aqueous methods using acidified aqueous imidazole solutions. Advantages of the methods include speed of analysis and prevention of sample micellerisation. The methods were shown to be quantitative and reproducible by their application to the determination of Tris content.

Abstract
The use of nonaqueous background electrolytes in capillary electrophoresis (CE) is a promising new trend which should widen the scope of this technique. We demonstrate the chiral separation of dansyl-amino acids (Dns-AAs) in N-methylformamide (NMF) using beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) as chiral selector. The solubility of beta-CD is much better in NMF than in water, allowing high concentration of the chiral selector and successful enantioseparation despite the weak host-guest interaction between the Dns-AAs and beta-CD. The association constants for the complexation between Dns-AAs and beta-CD could be calculated from the electrophoretic mobilities, with attention paid to the change in viscosity of the electrolyte upon addition of beta-CD. The association constants ranged between 2 and 13 M(-1).
