Development and characterization of a non-enzymatic electrochemical biosensor for rapid determination of sorbent-based extracted trazodone and doxepin in complicated samples. Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1317:342902. [PMID: 39030006 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.342902] [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: 01/04/2024] [Revised: 06/12/2024] [Accepted: 06/21/2024] [Indexed: 07/21/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Given the importance of achieving optimal therapeutical concentration in patients treated with antidepressants, this study investigates a novel technique for the simultaneous determination of trazodone (TRZ) and doxepin (DOX) in human plasma and serum samples for the first time. RESULTS To achieve simultaneous determination of two antidepressants, TRZ and DOX, a novel detection system was designed: a non-enzymatic voltammetric biosensor based on boron-reduced graphene oxide/manganese oxide nanoparticles (GCE/B-rGO/MnO NPs). The detection was accomplished after pre-concentration and extraction trace amounts of the analytes using the thin film-solid phase microextraction (TF-SPME) technique, which employed polyvinyl alcohol/polyvinyl acetate/copper oxide nanoparticles (PVA/PVAc/CuO NPs) electrospun nanofibers. The successful preparation of composite nanofibers and modified electrodes was confirmed using the evaluation of field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Also, the composite nanofibers were characterized with attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform-infrared (ATR-FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). In the solution of TRZ and DOX, under optimum experimental conditions, the linear dynamic ranges (LDRs) were 0.1-20.0 μmol L-1 and 0.5-27.0 μmol L-1, respectively. Also, the limit of detection (LOD) values of TRZ and DOX were 0.032 and 0.150 μmol L-1. SIGNIFICANCE PVAc acts as a cross-linking agent for PVA, and their mixture is effective for sample preparation and pre-concentration of analytes in complex matrices. Also, adding CuO NPs to this polymeric mixture enhanced the adsorption efficiency. Taking advantage of the high surface area of MnO NPs and the high electrical conductivity of B-rGO, and considering the superiority of their simultaneous utilization, the constructed electrochemical biosensor is both cost-effective and rapid. It demonstrates excellent stability, repeatability, and sensitivity for the simultaneous determination of TRZ and DOX under optimal conditions. This biosensor, the first of its kind, is specifically designed for the simultaneous determination of TRZ and DOX in human plasma and serum samples, representing a significant advancement in biosensing technology.

Vitamin B 12 reversed anxiety and depression induced by adolescent nicotine withdrawal through alteration the inflammatory, oxidative and serotoninergic profiles in male rats. Biochem Pharmacol 2023; 217:115832. [PMID: 37769712 DOI: 10.1016/j.bcp.2023.115832] [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: 07/12/2023] [Revised: 09/12/2023] [Accepted: 09/25/2023] [Indexed: 10/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The present study aims to assess the effect of vitamin B12 (Vit B12) on depression-like behavior caused by nicotine (Nic) withdrawal, which is more likely due to the anxiogenic effect of Nic in adolescent male rats, through assessing behavioral and biochemical analysis. METHODS Adolescent male rats were divided into vehicle (received normal saline), and experimental groups that received Nic (2 mg/kg, intraperitoneally (i.p.)) for three consecutive weeks and after that, the group that received normal saline was divided into two groups, one of which returned to a regular diet, and the second one received Vit B12 (1.5 mg/kg). The Nic group was divided into five groups, one of which received bupropion (Bup, 20 mg/kg), three of which received different doses of Vit B12 (0.5, 1, and 1.5 mg/kg), and the last one returned to a normal diet without treatment, which was considered as the withdrawal period. RESULTS Behavioral analysis showed that Nic withdrawal induced anxiety and depression. Vit B12 and Bup reduced anxiety and depression induced by Nic withdrawal. The biochemical analysis demonstrated the more activity of oxidative stress factors and pro-inflammatory cytokines in which Nic was administered, whereas both Vit B12 and Bup reversed the results and improved the activity of both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory parameters. Furthermore, both serum and cortical Vit B12 levels dramatically decreased in nicotine group, whereas treatment with both Vit B12 and Bup as desirable treatments corrected Vit B12 levels. CONCLUSION According to the present findings, the results revealed that Vit B12 is comparable with Bup in attenuation of Nic withdrawal symptoms. In addition, both Bup and Vit B12 improved the decreased serum and cortical levels of Vit B12, which caused by nicotine. Administration of Vit B12 in normal animals demonstrated better results in reducing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory parameters, which explores new hope to introduce Vit B12 as a novel antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent to treat not only withdrawal, but also other diseases related to the prominent role of oxidative stress or inflammatory pathways, such as Alzheimer's disease.

Deciphering the human urine matrix: a new approach to simultaneously quantify the main ions and organic compounds by ion chromatography/mass spectrometry (IC-MS). Anal Bioanal Chem 2023; 415:5337-5352. [PMID: 37394521 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-023-04808-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2023] [Revised: 06/10/2023] [Accepted: 06/13/2023] [Indexed: 07/04/2023]
Abstract
Analyzing the composition of (human) urine plays a major role in the fields of biology and medicine. Organic molecules (such as urea, creatine) and ions (such as chloride, sulfate) are the major compounds present in urine, the quantification of which allows for the diagnosis of a subject's health condition. Various analytical methods have been reported for studying urine components and validated on the basis of known and referenced compounds. The present work introduces a new method able to simultaneously determine both major organic molecules and ions contained in urine, by combining ion chromatography using a conductimetric detector with mass spectroscopy. The analysis of organic and ionized compounds (anionic and cationic) was achieved in double injections. For quantification, the standard addition method was used. Human urine samples were pre-treated (diluted and filtered) for IC-CD/MS analysis. The analytes were separated in 35 min. Calibration ranges (0-20 mg.L-1) and correlation coefficients (> 99.3%) as well as detection (LODs < 0.75 mg.L-1) and quantification (LOQs < 2.59 mg.L-1) limits were obtained for the main organic molecules (lactic, hippuric, citric, uric, oxalic acids, urea, creatine, and creatinine) and ions (chloride, sulfate, phosphate, sodium, ammonium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium) contained in urine. The intra- and inter-day accuracies of the analytes consistently ranged from 0.1 to 5.0%, and the precision was within 4.0%. For all analytes, no significant matrix effects were observed, and recoveries ranged from 94.9 to 102.6%. Finally, quantitative results of analytes were obtained from 10 different human urine samples.

Abstract
Pharmaceutical products are widely consumed globally and are commonly found in wastewaters as a result of constant excretion and disposal into sewers. The present study proposes an efficient binary solvent dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (BS-DLLME) method that was developed for preconcentration of 7 nervous system drug active compounds from aqueous media for their determination at trace levels by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The drug analytes included 3 antidepressants, 2 antipsychotics, 1 antiepileptic, and 1 antidementia. Optimum conditions of the BS-DLLME method were acquired by univariate optimization of parameters including type of binary solvents, ratio of binary solvents, type of disperser solvent, volume of binary solvents, and volume of disperser solvent. Detection and quantification limits were calculated in the range of 0.28 to 6.5 µg/L. Municipal wastewater, medical wastewater, synthetic domestic wastewater, and lake water were utilized as real samples in spike recovery experiments; and the results (94-106%) indicated the method's applicability and accuracy at quantifying the analytes in complex matrices.
