Standardization of the analytical procedure based on deep eutectic solvent for the extraction and measurement of tricyclic antidepressants drugs in post-mortem blood samples. J Pharm Biomed Anal 2024; 238:115811. [PMID: 37879218 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2023.115811] [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: 09/05/2023] [Revised: 10/15/2023] [Accepted: 10/20/2023] [Indexed: 10/27/2023]
Abstract
Measuring drugs in post-mortem blood samples is one of the most important challenges in forensic medicine. The development of sensitive analytical techniques for the measurement of drugs in biological samples is of great use in forensic medicine. In this research an easy, safe and environmental friendly vortex-assisted liquid phase microextraction (VA-LPME) based on deep eutectic solvent (DES) followed by high performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detector (HPLC-UV) was developed for the extraction, preconcentration and analysis of tricyclic antidepressants drugs (TCAs) in post-mortem blood samples. DES synthesized from thymol as hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA) and ethylene glycol (EG) as hydrogen bond donor (HBD) with a molar ratio of 2:1 was used as an extractant. After adding DES to the sample solution, the resulting mixture was vortexed in order to increase the contact surface and increase the extraction efficiency. Next, phase separation was done using centrifugation. Some effective parameters on the extraction were studied and optimized. Under the optimum conditions, intra- and inter-day %RSDs of the method based on 7 replicate measurements of 100 μg L-1 of TCAs in blood samples were in the range of 2.4-5.1 and 3.7-6.8 %, respectively. The analytical performance of the method showed linearity over the concentration of 3-500 μg L-1 with the detection limits ranging from 1.0-2.0 μg L-1. The trueness of the method was confirmed by spiking different concentrations of TCAs in real blood samples and obtaining relative recoveries in the range of 91.2-108 %.

Rapid and sensitive dilute-and-shoot analysis using LC-MS-MS for identification of multi-class psychoactive substances in human urine. J Pharm Biomed Anal 2023; 233:115443. [PMID: 37210892 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2023.115443] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2023] [Revised: 04/22/2023] [Accepted: 05/03/2023] [Indexed: 05/23/2023]
Abstract
The emergence of new psychoactive substances currently exceeding a thousand is rapidly changing substance prevalence patterns and straining the methods used for detection, most of which are suitable only for a single class of substances. This study presents a rapid and facile dilute-and-shoot system operated in conjunction with an optimized liquid chromatographic separation system for the high-sensitivity detection of substances across a range of substance classes with 3 isotopes used only. The proposed method based on liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is able to identify 68 substance and their metabolites in urine samples as small as 50 μL. Optimal chromatographic conditions including 95% water/methanol ratio with 0.1% added formic acid and a prolonged LC gradient run-time (15 min) improved the peak shape of polar compounds and enhanced signal strength by 5%. Under 4-fold dilution, all analytes were within 80-120% of tolerance response levels, indicating that the matrix effect was insignificant. In experiments, the limit of detection (LOD) ranged from 0.05 to 0.5 ng mL-1, while the coefficient of determination (R2) was > 0.9950. The retention time shift of each peak remained at < 2% with an inter-day relative standard deviation (RSD) of 0.9-14.9% and intra-day RSD of 1.1%- 13.8%. The rapid dilute-and-shoot presents a high-sensitivity, significant stability, robustness and reproducibility without serious interference. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the system, 532 urine samples were collected from suspected drug abusers, and the proposed method was used for rapid analysis. Of these samples, 79.5% contained between one and twelve analytes, and 12.4% tested positive for new psychoactive substances, mostly derivatives of amphetamine and synthetic cathinones. The study presents a high-sensitivity analytic system that is capable of detecting substances from multiple classes and can be used for effective monitoring of substance prevalence in urine.

Development of electrospun nanofibers based on Poly (vinyl alcohol) for thin film solid-phase microextraction of antidepressant drugs in biological samples. J Chromatogr A 2023; 1697:463984. [PMID: 37084693 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2023.463984] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2023] [Revised: 03/29/2023] [Accepted: 04/07/2023] [Indexed: 04/23/2023]
Abstract
Today, antidepressants are widely used and it is important to determine their trace amounts due to harmful consequences. Here, a new nano sorbent was reported for the simultaneous extraction and determination of three types of antidepressant drugs (Clomipramine (CLO), Clozapine (CLZ), and Trimipramine (TRP) by the thin-film solid-phase micro-extraction (TFME-μSPE) method followed by the Gas Chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID) analysis. So, the compound poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/citric acid(CA)/β-cyclodextrin/Bi2S3@g-C3N4 nano sorbent was constructed by electrospinning technique. Then, nano sorbent was studied to optimize the many parameters impacting the extraction performance. Electrospun nanofiber has a large surface area, high porosity, and homogeneous morphology with a uniform bead-free structure. In optimal conditions, the limits of detection and quantification were calculated to be 0.15-0.03 ng mL-1 and 0.5-0.1 ng mL-1, respectively. The dynamic linear range (DLR) was in the range of 0.1 to 1000 ng mL-1 for CLO and CLZ, and 0.5 to 1000 ng mL-1 for TRP with correlation coefficients (R2) of 0.999. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) were achieved in the range of 4.9-6.8% (intra-day, n = 4) and 5.4-7.9% (inter-day, n = 3) in the period of 3 days. Finally, the capability of the method was evaluated to simultaneously measure trace amounts of antidepressants aqueous sample with desirable extraction efficiency (78 to 95%).

Abstract
Analysis of biological samples is affected by interfering substances with chemical properties similar to those of the target analytes, such as drugs. Biological samples such as whole blood, plasma, serum, urine and saliva must be properly processed for separation, purification, enrichment and chemical modification to meet the requirements of the analytical instruments. This causes the sample preparation stage to be of undeniable importance in the analysis of such samples through methods such as microextraction techniques. The scope of this review will cover a comprehensive summary of available literature data on microextraction techniques playing a key role for analytical purposes, methods of their implementation in common biological samples, and finally, the most recent examples of application of microextraction techniques in preconcentration of analytes from urine, blood and saliva samples. The objectives and merits of each microextration technique are carefully described in detail with respect to the nature of the biological samples. This review presents the most recent and innovative work published on microextraction application in common biological samples, mostly focused on original studies reported from 2017 to date. The main sections of this review comprise an introduction to the microextraction techniques supported by recent application studies involving quantitative and qualitative results and summaries of the most significant, recently published applications of microextracion methods in biological samples. This article considers recent applications of several microextraction techniques in the field of sample preparation for biological samples including urine, blood and saliva, with consideration for extraction techniques, sample preparation and instrumental detection systems.
