Analysis of chlorhexidine gluconate in skin using tape stripping and ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. J Pharm Biomed Anal 2020; 183:113111. [PMID: 32062012 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2020.113111] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2019] [Revised: 01/09/2020] [Accepted: 01/14/2020] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Topical chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) is used widely to reduce healthcare-associated infection. The optimal therapeutic dose for maximum efficacy and reduced toxicity is unclear, in part because of the lack of analytical methods to monitor CHG levels in skin. A novel method was developed to accurately measure CHG levels in skin after topical application with the goal of determining its pharmacokinetics in skin. METHODS Ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) was used to develop a validated assay for measuring CHG levels in skin cells collected by a non-invasive adhesive tape-stripping method. CHG levels in the skin stratum corneum of healthy adult volunteers were measured at 0.5, 4, 8, and 24 h after its application. RESULTS Conditions for extraction of CHG were optimized and the assay was linear in the range 0.1-50 μg/mL (corresponding to 0.2-100 μg chlorhexidine/tape), with an intra-assay precision of 1.74-10.50 % and a relative error of ≤10 %. The inter-assay accuracy was in the range of 5.86-10.96 % with a relative error <9 %. CHG was stable on tapes stored at 4 °C and ambient temperature for 14 and 3 days, respectively. The recovery of CHG from the tape was quantitative and the matrix effect was determined as 2.1-14.8 %. CHG levels in healthy adult volunteer skin following topical application decreased rapidly over a 24 h period. CONCLUSIONS A rapid, accurate and specific UHPLC-MS/MS method was developed for the measurement of CHG in the skin obtained by tape stripping that was linear over a large dynamic range. This assay afforded a simple and convenient non-invasive approach to monitor CHG levels in skin after topical application that can be applied to enable the optimal dose to prevent infection and minimize toxicity.

Lasek F, Karpel Vel Leitner N, Rauwel G, Blanchier L, Castel O, Ayraud-Thevenot S, Deborde M. Discharge of biocidal products from healthcare activities into a sewage system-a case study at a French university hospital. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2019; 26:4938-4951.

Abstract
This study focused on the presence of three biocidal products specific to healthcare facilities, i.e. chlorhexidine digluconate (CHD), bis(aminopropyl)laurylamine (BAPLA), and didecyldimethylammonium chloride (DDAC), in a hospital sewage system. Five sampling campaigns were conducted in 2016 and 2017 throughout the entire Poitiers University Hospital sewage system. DDAC concentrations ranging from 933 ± 119 to 3250 ± 482 μg/L were detected in 24-h composite samples, while lower concentrations (both within the same range) were detected for the two other compounds (i.e. 25 ± 5 to 97 ± 39 μg/L for CHD and 18 ± 3 to 142 ± 16 μg/L for BAPLA). Based on these findings, a mass balance was determined for these discharged compounds to compare the quantities detected in discharges to the amounts used for healthcare in the hospital. Hence, 60-90% of the quantities of DDAC used were found to be present at the hospital sewage outfall. Higher percentages of CHD (100-242%) were noted because of the high presumably quantities used for antiseptic applications, which were not considered in mass balance calculation. Finally, only 10-30% of BAPLA quantities used were detected at the site outfall. Analysis of the results for the different sampling points revealed the nature of the emission sources. For surface applications of DDAC and BAPLA, management of hospital linen is thus a major source of discharged biocidal products, probably following the washing of biocide-soaked textiles used for hospital facility maintenance. Moreover, discharge of biocidal products from a healthcare establishment depends especially on biocide handling practices in the emitting establishment. For BAPLA, compliance with hospital recommended dosages and practices whereby operators are required to prepare tailored quantities of detergents and disinfectants for each specific task could largely explain the limited release of this compound.

Abstract
Chlorhexidine (CHX) is a broad-spectrum antiseptic that is used in many topical pharmaceutical formulations. Because there is no official microbiological assay reported in the literature that is used to quantify CHX, this paper reports the development and validation of a simple, sensitive, accurate and reproducible agar diffusion method for the dosage of chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX-D) in an aqueous solution. The assay is based on the inhibitory effect of CHX-D upon the strain of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, which is used as the test microorganism. The design 3x3 parallel-line model was used. The results were treated statistically by analysis of variance (ANOVA), and they were excellent in terms of linearity (r = 0.9999), presenting a significant regression between the zone diameter of growth inhibition and the logarithm of the concentration within the range of 0.5 to 4.5%. The results obtained were precise, having relative standard deviations (RSD) for intra-day and inter-day precision of 2.03% and 2.94%, respectively. The accuracy was 99.03%. The method proved to be very useful and appropriate for the microbiological dosage of CHX-D in pharmaceutical formulations; it might also be used for routine drug analysis during quality control in pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
AIMS To characterise and correlate crystalline precipitations implicated in non-healing corneal ulceration in two patients with a previous history of acanthamoeba keratitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Persistence of acanthamoeba and secondary bacterial infection was excluded with negative corneal scrapes. Confocal microscopy identified crystal-like deposits within the corneal stroma. To investigate possible precipitating combinations, all concurrent treatments at the time of presentation were mixed in wells, with observation of precipitate formation. Precipitates were observed with phase-contrast microscopy, and subsequently characterised via crystallography techniques and electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry. RESULTS Combinations of dexamethasone 0.1% minims and chlorhexidine gluconate 0.2% formed an amorphous material characterised by electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry as an insoluble chlorhexidine salt. Combinations of chloramphenicol drops and timolol 0.5% formed a crystal identified via X-ray crystallography as santite (K(B₅O₆(OH)₄).(H₂O)₂). This is a borate mineral identified in nature, arising from thermal springs, but never reported in biological tissues. Clinical improvement was observed following the cessation of the implicated precipitating combinations. CONCLUSION Our observations suggest iatrogenic precipitate formation, with a potential deleterious effect upon healing. The substrates for these precipitates include several frequently prescribed topical ophthalmic treatments. These findings shed new light on the aetiopathogenesis of non-healing corneal ulceration, and have broad implications on topical prescribing for this challenging condition.

Abstract
Background: The skeletal symmetric structure of chlorhexidine predicts that each doubly charged molecular ion may generate two para-chlorbenzenguanidines daughter ions through bond cleavage at two protonation sites, thus generating better sensitivity in MRM transition than that involving singly charged molecular ions. This unique nature can be used to improve sensitivity of a LC–MS/MS method. Results: High-throughput LC–MS/MS was developed and validated to quantify chlorhexidine in rat plasma as low as 0.500 ng/ml. In the method, a unique chromatographic method on a narrow bore column reduced run time to 2.5 min and successfully minimized high background from accumulation of endogenous compounds in matrix on the column. Conclusion: This method was proved to be robust and suitable to support rat dermal toxicology studies.

Abstract
Accidental ingestion or injection of household products sometimes occurs due to their accessibility, but the toxic manifestations have not been well characterized when they are internally administered. The aim of this study was to investigate the toxic effects induced by ingestion or injection of different ionic surfactants and disinfectants in rats. The test drugs involved benzalkonium and benzethonium (BZK and BZT, both cationic surfactants used as disinfectants), alkyldiaminoethylglycine (AEG, an amphoteric surfactant used as a disinfectant), linear alkylbenzenesulfonate (LAS, an anionic surfactant), polyoxyethylene cetylether (PEC, a nonionic surfactant), chlorhexidine (CHX, not a surfactant but a disinfectant) and saline (control). Male Sprague-Dawley rats were administered one of the test drugs orally (p.o.), intravenously (i.v.) or intraarterially (i.a.). The fatal effects appeared rapidly (<30 min) in i.v.-administered rats, while taking hours (>5 h) in i.a./p.o.-administered rats after a dose of around LD(50) , although the progress and degree of toxic effects varied among the drugs tested. In intravascular administration, BZK and BZT were fatal at doses of 15-20 mg kg(-1) . Higher concentrations in lung and kidney than in blood were determined. CHX showed a high toxic effect compared with cationic surfactants. The rats administered anionic (LAS) or amphoteric (AEG) surfactant died in less than 24 h at doses over 100 mg kg(-1) . In p.o. administration, the toxic effects were concentration/dose-dependent, and all rats administered high doses of surfactants except for PEC died at 5-20 h. The overall toxic ranks could be: cationic surfactant/CHX> anionic/amphoteric surfactant > nonionic surfactant.

Abstract
Chlorhexidine (CHX) is a cationic biguanide compound that has been widely used for disinfection of skin, mucous membranes, and medical instruments. Poisoning has been occurred occasionally due to its easy accessibility. Some fatal cases developed acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) from aspiration of CHX directly into the lung. There is no preclinical information about the pulmonary toxicity of CHX available since the products of CHX are usually developed for disinfection by topical use. In this study, the acute pulmonary toxic effects of CHX following an intratracheal instillation in rats were investigated. Rats were exposed either to CHX at concentrations of 0.02% and 0.2% or to distilled water at a volume of 500 μl/kg b.w. CHX at concentration of 0.2% caused changes in hematological and biochemical values including white blood cell count (WBC), total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (CRE), and induced inflammatory reactions including intra-alveolar edema and hemorrhages, as well as resulted in the target organ concentration in lungs at the level of about 1.0 μg/g and maintained for more than 1 week, when administered intratracheally in rats. The cytotoxic action of CHX might induce those detrimental reactions in rats.
