Abstract
Cloud-point extraction (CPE) is rarely combined with liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS) in drug determination due to the matrix effect (ME). However, we have recently shown that ME is not a limiting factor in CPE. Low extraction efficiency may be improved by salt addition, but none of the salts used in CPE are suitable for LC-MS. It is the first time that the influences of a volatile salt-ammonium acetate (AA)-on the CPE extraction efficiency and ME have been studied. Our modification of CPE included also the use of ethanol instead of acetonitrile to reduce the sample viscosity and make the method more environmentally friendly. We developed and validated CPE-LC-MS for the simultaneous determination of 21 antidepressants in plasma that can be useful for clinical and forensic toxicology. The selected parameters included Triton X-114 concentration (1.5 and 6%, w/v), concentration of AA (0, 10, 20 and 30%, w/v), and pH (3.5, 6.8 and 10.2). The addition of 10% of AA increased recovery twice. For 20 and 30% (w/v) of AA, three phases were formed that prolonged the extraction process. The developed CPE method (6% Triton X-114, 10% AA, pH 10.2) was successfully validated through LC-MS/MS simultaneous determination of 21 antidepressants in human plasma. The linearity was in the range of 10-750 ng/mL (r2 > 0.990).

Abstract
The need for reliable results in Toxicological Analysis is recognized and required worldwide. The analytical validation ensures that a method will provide trustworthy information about a particular sample when applied in accordance with a predefined protocol, being able to determine a specific analyte at a distinct concentration range for a well-defined purpose. The driving force for developing method validation for bioanalytical projects comes from the regulatory agencies. Thus, the approach of this work is to present theoretical and practical aspects of method validation based on the analysis objective, whether for prevention or diagnosis. Although various legislative bodies accept differing interpretations of requirements for validation, the process for applying validation criteria should be adaptable for each scientific intent or analytical purpose.

Abstract
BACKGROUND When choosing an analog internal standard (IS) in a quantitative LC-MS/MS assay, careful selection and thorough verification are important for developing an accurate quantitative assay. The IS is a critical component in quantitative mass spectrometry because it is used to normalize results by compensating for variations in sample preparation and instrument performance. Here we present the results of our investigation in the selection process for a structural analog IS (SA-IS) to be used in the quantification of 6-methylmercaptopurine (6-MMP) in cytolysed red blood cell (RBC). METHODS A cocktail solution of 9 SA-ISs including the isotopically labeled structural isomer and the 6-MMP stable isotope-labeled IS (SIL-IS) was spiked into cytolysed RBC controls and patient samples. Linearity, accuracy, sensitivity, precision, run stability, method comparison, and reinjection reproducibility experiments were performed. Ion suppression was also assessed by T-infusing the cocktail solution. RESULTS All analogs were linear from 100 to 1200 ng/mL 6-MMP with acceptable precision and sensitivity by use of a spiked blank lysate. Method comparison plots of 6-MMP concentrations in patient samples had excellent agreement for 2 of the SA-ISs (i.e., the isotopically labeled structural isomer and an SA-IS with an added methyl group) when compared to the SIL-IS. Halogen-substituted analogs (i.e., Cl and Br) also met the criteria as an acceptable IS. However, 2 of the selected SA-ISs having substituted amine moieties showed unacceptable performance, with ≥15% bias when compared to the SIL-IS. CONCLUSION There are many parameters to consider when determining if an analog will be a good IS choice, and the approaches highlighted in this article can be applied to the selection of SA-IS in the development of other LC-MS/MS assays.

Abstract
LC-MS is becoming a standard for many applications, thanks to high sensitivity and selectivity; nevertheless, some issues are still present, particularly due to matrix effect (ME). Considering this, the use of optimal internal standards (ISs, usually stable-isotope labeled) is important, but not always possible because of cost or availability. Therefore, a deep investigation of the inter-lot variability of the ME and of the correcting power of the chosen IS (isotope-labeled or not) is mandatory. While the adoption of isotopically labeled ISs considered as a 'gold standard' to mitigate ME impact on analytical results, there is not consensus about the standard technique to evaluate it during method validation. In this paper, currently available techniques to evaluate, reduce or counterbalance ME are presented and discussed. Finally, these techniques were summarized in a flowchart for a robust management of ME, particularly considering the concept of 'internal standard normalized ME'.

Abstract
The use of a new class of hybrid materials, called restricted access molecularly imprinted polymers (RAMIPs) seems to present a good strategy for the sample preparation of complex matrices, since these materials combine good protein elimination capacity with high degree selectivity. Mass spectrometers (MS) have been successfully used for polar drug identification and quantification. In order to combine the advantages of both RAMIPs and mass spectrometry, we proposed a study that joins these properties in a single system, where we could analyse tricyclic antidepressants from human plasma, without offline extraction or chromatographic separation. A RAMIP for amitriptyline was synthesised by the bulk method, using methacrylic acid as a functional monomer and glycidilmethacrylate as a hydrophilic co-monomer. Then, epoxide ring openings were made and the polymer was covered with bovine serum albumin (BSA). A column filled with RAMIP-BSA was coupled to a MS/MS instrument in an online configuration, using water as loading and reconditioning mobile phase and a 0.01% acetic acid aqueous solution: acetonitrile at 30:70 as elution mobile phase. The system was used for on-line extraction and simultaneous quantification of nortriptyline, desipramine, amitriptyline, imipramine, clomipramine and clomipramine-d3 (IS) (from 15.0 to 500.0μgL-1) from plasma samples. The correlation coefficient was higher than 0.99 for all analytes. The CV (coefficient of variation) values ranged from 1.34% to 19.13% for intra assay precision and 1.32-19.77% for inter assay precision. The E% (relative error) values ranged from -19.15% to 19.51% for intra assay accuracy and from -9.04% to 16.22% for inter assay accuracy.

Abstract
The purpose of this article is to underline the miniaturized LC instrumental system and describe the evolution of commercially available systems by discussing their advantages and drawbacks. Nowadays, there are already many miniaturized LC systems available with a great variety of pump design, interface and detectors as well as efficient columns technologies and reduced connections devices. The solvent delivery systems are able to drive the mobile phase without flow splitters and promote gradient elution using either dual piston reciprocating or syringe-type pumps. The mass spectrometry as detection system is the most widely used detection system; among many alternative ionization sources direct-EI LC-MS is a promising alternative to APCI. In addition, capillary columns are now available showing many possibilities of stationary phases, inner diameters and hardware materials. This review provides a discussion about miniaturized LC demonstrating fundamentals and instrumentals' aspects of the commercially available miniaturized LC instrumental system mainly nano and micro LC formats. This review also covers the recent developments and trends in instrumentation, capillary and nano columns, and several applications of this very important and promising field.

Abstract
A rapid, simple, and highly sensitive second-derivative synchronous fluorimetric (SDSF) method has been developed for the simultaneous analysis of binary mixtures of fluphenazine hydrochloride (FLZ) and nortriptyline hydrochloride (NTP) in their co-formulated tablets. The method is based upon measurement of the native fluorescence of these drugs at constant wavelength difference (Deltalambda) = 120 nm in acetic acid. The different experimental parameters affecting the fluorescence intensity of the studied drugs were carefully studied and optimized. The fluorescence-concentration plots were rectilinear over the range of 0.25-3.0 and 1-10 microg/ml for FLZ and NTP respectively, with lower detection limits (LOD) of 0.05 and 0.18 microg/ml and quantitation limits of 0.15 and 0.53 microg/ml for FLZ and NTP respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied for the determination of the studied compounds in their synthetic mixtures and in commercial co-formulated tablets. The results obtained were in good agreement with those obtained by the reference methods.

Abstract
Serotonin–norepinephrine-reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) and selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) belong to a new generation of antidepressants used in the treatment of depression and other mood disorders. SSRIs act as reuptake inhibitors primarily via the inhibition of the neuronal reuptake of serotonin (5-HT) in the CNS. SNRIs have additional inhibitory activity at noradrenaline-reuptake sites. Different analytical methods for the routine monitoring and toxicological screening of SNRIs and SSRIs have been developed. Rapid quantification is a necessity for clinical use, allowing the possibility of diagnostics. This review focuses on recent advances of the methods that concern the determination of SSRIs and SNRIs in human biological samples. Sample preparation methodologies are discussed, because sample pretreatment is the most limiting and crucial step in analysis of biological matrices. Furthermore, information concerning the mechanism of action, side effects and toxicity are also given.

Abstract
Compared to conventional C18 phases, polar-modified phases have distinct differences with regards to chromatographic behavior. In the present study, ODS phases and polar-modified phases were synthesized. The columns containing these new packings demonstrated satisfactory stability under both acidic (pH 1.5) and basic (pH 10) conditions. We evaluated the selectivity differences between alkyl and polar-modified alkyl RP columns by using a range of neutral analytes. The polar-modified alkyl phases showed excellent peak shapes for almost all compounds. We also compared the selectivity differences between them for separating nucleotides by using 100% aqueous mobile phase and tricyclic antidepressants in the intermediate pH mobile phases. The results demonstrated that polar-modified phases display a significantly reduced hydrophobic nature and a significantly reduced silanol activity compared to the conventional C18 phases.
