Abstract
Protonation of gabapentin was studied using corona discharge ion mobility spectrometry with two types of reactant ions at temperature of 200°C. It was found that at elevated temperatures, ionization of gabapentin proceeds via two channels, including the protonation and reactant ion attachment, in the presence of both hydronium and ammonium reactant ions. The effect of the sample concentration on the relative intensity of product ion peaks was also studied. It turned out that in high concentrations, in addition to the protonation of gabapentin, binding of the reactant ion and the formation of proton-bound dimer also occurred, while in low concentrations, the only product of the ionization process is protonated gabapentin. Density functional theory (DFT) with B3LYP and M062X functionals employing the same basis set 6-311++G(d,p) was used to extend the experimental findings. The structures of the several conformers of neutral and protonated gabapentin were obtained. Based on them, topical proton affinity and topical gas-phase basicity of gabapentin were calculated for selected conformers. The attachment of reactant ions to neutral gabapentin and formation of proton-bound dimer were thermodynamically studied.

Abstract
Gabapentin (GAB) is a cyclohexane acetic acid, structurally related to the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and considered the principal inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system (CNS) of mammals. An ultra-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrophotometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method for assessing pregabalin (PRE) in human plasma, was developed and validated, via PRE usage as an internal standard. The plasma underwent protein precipitation using methanol, prior to analysis. Chromatographic separation was completed using a mobile phase of methanol: 0.1% formic acid solution, (65:35, v/v), at a flow rate of 0.2 mL/min, with an isocratic approach, on an Agilent Eclipse plus column (50 × 2.1 mm and 1.8 μm), in 1.6 min of running time. An Agilent triple quadrupole was used for mass analysis, to detect the ion transitions for GAB and PER, respectively, at m/z of 172.1 → 154.1 and 160.10 → 142.10. The calibration curve, over the linear range of 0.050–10.0 μg/mL, showed a high correlation coefficient, r = 0.9993. The limits of detection and quantitation were 13.37 ng/mL and 40.52 ng/mL, respectively, based on the standard deviation and slope equation. The results for intra- and inter-day measurement accuracy and precision were in acceptable ranges. The method was extended into the assessment of oral administrations of GAB at different doses, of one 600 mg/tablet and two capsules (each one of them has 300 mg of GAB), to volunteers who were used in pharmacokinetics and bioequivalent studies. The AGREE assessment tool was used to visualize the proposed method’s greenness degree, which revealed a high AGREE rating score, supporting the accepted method’s greenness profile.

Abstract
Gabapentin is a pharmacological agent used in the treatment of epileptic seizures. In this work, a fast method is proposed for determination of gabapentin in urine by ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) without any extraction and derivatization. ZnCl2 was used as an effective protein precipitating reagent to remove the urine proteins. It was found that urea content of urine interferes with detection of gabapentin by IMS. By applying a delay on the carrier gas flow after injection of the sample, we could solve the urea interference to achieve gabapentin signal recovery of ∼70% in urine relative to that in water.

Abstract
This work aimed at analyzing the performance of direct spectroscopic methods for the quantification of gabapentin (GABAp), given the lack of previous studies, in comparison with the more reviewed and complex derivatization techniques, discussing their susceptibility to the pharmaceutical formulations. All of the methods analyzed showed high selectivity for this pharmaceutical analyte, with recoveries close to 100%. Absorption spectroscopy without derivatization yielded better sensitivity and lower limits of detection and quantification of gabapentin in aqueous solution (AqSol method) when compared with other solvents, such as acidic solution or ethanol/water mixture. Derivatization with sodium hypochlorite presented the highest precision, whereas derivatization with vanillin exhibited the highest accuracy. The best method for GABAp quantification in terms of highest sensitivity, lowest limits of detection, and quantification, and also with good precision and accuracy, proved to be fluorescence with derivatization by 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan. The effect of the pharmaceutical formulation (nature of excipients) was tested for the most robust and sensitive methods, with and without derivatization, on capsules of five commercial brands. Recoveries in the range of 97.9-101.5% proved that there are no matrix interfering effects. Although not presenting the best performance in all the parameters evaluated, the AqSol method, due to its simplicity, proved to be suitable for the quantification of GABAp in capsules and tables containing the molecule as the active ingredient.

Abstract
In the tenth edition of this article focused on recent advances in amino acid analysis using capillary electrophoresis, we describe the most important research articles published on this topic during the period from June 2015 to May 2017. This article follows the format of the previous articles published in Electrophoresis. The new developments in amino acid analysis with CE mainly describe improvements in CE associated with mass spectrometry. Focusing on applications, we mostly describe clinical works, although metabolomics studies are also very important. Finally, works focusing on amino acids in food and agricultural applications are also described.

Abstract
Derivatisation is an integrated part of many analytical workflows to enable separation and detection of the analytes. In CE, derivatisation is adapted in the four modes of pre-capillary, in-line, in-capillary, and post-capillary derivatisation. In this review, we discuss the progress in derivatisation from February 2015 to May 2017 from multiple points of view including sections about the derivatisation modes, derivatisation to improve the analyte separation and analyte detection. The advancements in derivatisation procedures, novel reagents, and applications are covered. A table summarising the 46 reviewed articles with information about analyte, sample, derivatisation route, CE method and method sensitivity is provided.
