Abstract
Implementing powerful and sustainable research that complies with green analytical chemistry (GAC) and white analytical chemistry (WAC) fundamentals can downsize the environmental compliance costs and fruitfully affects practical and economic issues. Within this framework, rapid and white analytical micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MEKC) methodology was developed for the synchronized estimation of the antihyperlipidemic drugs Ezetimibe (EZE), Atorvastatin (ATO), Rosuvastatin (ROS) and Simvastatin (SIM). The technique was established using fused silica capillary (50 cm, 50 µm id) and the background electrolyte was 0.025 M borate buffer pH 9.2 containing 0.025 M sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and 10% v/v acetonitrile as the organic modifier. Diode array detector was adjusted at 243 nm for ATO and ROS and 237 nm for EZE and SIM. Separation was accomplished within 10 min with migration times of 4.12, 5.42, 8.23 and 8.74 min for ROS, ATO, EZE and SIM respectively. The 4 drugs were quantitated in the concentration range of 10-100 μg/mL and the correlation coefficients were not less than 0.9993. The high sensitivity was illustrated by values of the detection and quantitation limits. The limits of detection for ROS, ATO, EZE and SIM were 0.52, 0.75, 0.42 and 0.64 μg/mL, respectively, whereas, the limits of quantitation values were 1.73, 2.50, 1.40 and 2.13 μg/mL for the studied drugs, respectively. In addition to validation, as reported by the ICH guidelines, greenness and whiteness assessment using the novel AGREE calculator and the holistic functionality model RGB12 were performed. The results proved the efficiency and whiteness of the suggested technique to be routinely implemented in quality control laboratories for the assay of the four drugs and the binary mixtures of EZE with either ATO, ROS or SIM in fixed-dose combined tablets.

Abstract
As the COVID-19 pandemic is not yet over, Pfizer has launched the novel pill Paxlovid® (Nirmatrelvir (NMV) co-packaged with ritonavir (RIT)) as an effective medication for hospitalized and non-hospitalized patients. Making pharmaceutical analysis greener and more sustainable has lately become the main direction of the research community. In this context, two fast, green, and stability-indicating chromatographic methods were designed for the neat quantitative determination of NMV and RIT in their bulk and dosage forms. Method I is deemed the first electro-driven attempt for the assay of Paxlovid®. Herein, the optimized conditions of the Micellar Electrokinetic Chromatographic (MEKC) method were 50 mM borate buffer at pH 9.2 with 25 mM sodium lauryl sulfate (SDS) being used as the background electrolyte (BGE) on a deactivated fused silica capillary (50 cm effective length × 50 μm id). Method II was an isocratic reversed-phase HPLC separation method using Zorbax-Eclipse C18 (4.6 × 250 mm, 5 μm particle size) column and 50 mM ammonium acetate buffer at pH 5 and acetonitrile as mobile phase constituents at a flow rate of 1 mL min-1. For the sake of simplicity and increasing sensitivity, a single wavelength of 210 nm was used for the two methods to assay both drugs. Linear correlations between peak areas and concentration were observed in the ranges of 10-200 μg mL-1 for NMV and 5-100 μg mL-1 RIT in both methods. The impact of versatile stress conditions such as hydrolysis, oxidation, and photolysis on the stability of NMV and RIT was studied. Fortunately, both methodologies were able to separate both drugs from their degradants. Thus, the stability indicating power of the methods was proved. The derived methods were statistically validated in agreement with the ICH guidelines. Furthermore, the environmental friendliness and sustainability of these methods were investigated and compared with the cited methods using the holistic multicriteria evaluation tools namely Hexagon, AGREE, and RGB12 metrics. Conclusively, the proposed methods offered reliable, feasible, economic, white, and stability-indicating alternatives to the cited chromatographic methods.

Abstract
The work introduces green and white sustainable micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) procedure that could analyze therapeutically related drugs, empagliflozin (EMP), linagliptin (LIN) and metformin (MET) which are antidiabetic drugs with different mechanism of action, in their different pharmaceutical combinations. The method not only comply with the green analytical concepts, but also it is in line with sustainable analytical concepts as it is economic by applying the same operating conditions to analyze different pharmaceuticals in quality control (QC) labs which is a crucial step in QC labs and research centers to save time, effort, and money. Moreover, the method functionality regarding its scope with its achieved levels of accuracy, precision, low detection, and quantitation limits is tested using white assessment tool and compared with reported methods. The proposed MEKC coupled with a diode array detector (DAD) has been developed and validated for micro estimation of EMP and LIN in their low critical concentrations with MET in a ratio of (EMP: MET, 1:40) and (LIN: MET, 1:200). Separation was achieved within 6 min using fused silica capillary (40 cm × 50 µm id) using 20 mM Tris buffer (pH 10) in presence of 50 mM sodium dodecyl sulphate and 10% v/v methanol. The concentration ranges of the studied anti-diabetic drugs were 10-500, 10-100 and 2.5-100 µg. mL-1 for MET, EMP and LIN, respectively. The developed method is the first MEKC for concurrent determination of EMP, LIN and MET with high separation efficiency, low solvent consumption and regard as an easy green and white analytical tool. Moreover, Greenness and whiteness assessment were done via the most widely used Analytical Eco-Scale, the innovative AGREE tool and the RGB 12 algorithm.

Abstract
An on-line sample preconcentration technique based on transient trapping (tr-trapping) in micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) was applied for steroid detection with UV (tr-trapping-UV) and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry detection (tr-trapping-ESI-MS). ESI-MS was used to improve the sensitivity in MEKC. The MEKC separation was carried out using volatile ammonium formate as a background solution to facilitate the coupling with ESI-MS. The partial introduction of a sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micellar solution before the introduction of a sample solution to the capillary provided the effective preconcentration of analytes. At the same time, the SDS micelle would not enter the ESI-MS system, so its interference in ESI-MS detection was suppressed under the optimal condition, then five steroids can be separated by the developed method. In tr-trapping-ESI-MS, an acidic condition of pH 3.5 was employed to suppress the electroosmotic flow, which can avoid micellar solution migrating to the MS instrument. The developed method showed that the micellar solution requires a twofold slower time than the sample to migrate along the column, which can prohibit the cause of the problem with the MS instrument and interference signal of SDS in the steroid's detection. The tr-trapping-ESI-MS protocol showed up to 540-fold enhancements of the peak intensity and 50-fold improvement of the limit of detection compared with capillary zone electrophoresis using androsterone as a model sample.

Abstract
Background The antiviral drug GS-5734 remdesivir is a new phosphoramidate prodrug developed initially as a treatment for Ebola virus which then proved to have antiviral properties against other viruses. After clinical trials, it was the first antiviral to be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2020 to treat severe coronavirus (COVID-19) cases. The widespread current pandemic gave an urge to its fast production and marketing. Thus, new analytical methods must be available for its analysis in a fast and easy manner with low cost to be applicable in all laboratories. Objective In the current study, a green and economic micellar electrokinetic chromatographic (MEKC) method is proposed for remdesivir analysis. Methods A fused-silica capillary (58.5 cm × 50 μm id, 50 cm effective length) with 20 mM borate buffer (pH 9) and 25 mM sodium dodecyl sulfate was used under a positive potential of 30 kV at 25°C with detection at 245 nm. Results Remdesivir analysis was achieved in approximately 5 min. The method proved to be linear in range of 1–50 μg/mL with correlation coefficient, r > 0.999. Conclusion The MEKC method proposed was applied to the analysis of remdesivir in its commercial vials. The method was validated per International Conference on Harmonization guidelines. Highlights Green chemistry has been the focus of the analytical community in the past few years. This method is considered green due to its low energy and solvent consumption without sacrificing the method’s sensitivity or selectivity. The method’s green profile has been assessed by different greenness assessment scales to ensure the method is eco-friendly and can be used in the pharmaceutical industry.

Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is an analytical method in which charged species are separated by attraction or repulsion performed in submillimeter diameter capillaries or micro- and nanofluidic channels through the application of a high voltage electric field. When capillary electrophoresis is assembled in a multicapillary instrument such as 96-well format (multiplexed), it becomes a powerful high-throughput system with the ability to simultaneously screen several types of samples like genetic mutations, metabolomes, kinase inhibitors, or enzymatic activities to name a few. The usage of a 96-multiplexed capillary electrophoresis system (96-MP-CE) represents a new platform for product-specific high-throughput screening of enzyme mutant libraries from directed evolution campaigns providing a comprehensive view on enzyme activity through the detection of all products formed. We describe the application of 96-MP-CE to screen mutant libraries of P450 BM3. MP-CE was used in directed evolution campaigns toward benzo-1,4-dioxane and α-isophorone.

Abstract
AgNPs have exceptional characteristics that depend on their size and shape. Over the past years, there has been an exponential increase in applications of nanoparticles (NPs), especially the silver ones (AgNPs), in several areas, such as, for example, electronics; environmental, pharmaceutical, and toxicological applications; theragnostics; and medical treatments, among others. This growing use has led to a greater exposure of humans to AgNPs and a higher risk to human health and the environment. This risk becomes more aggravated when the AgNPs are used without purification or separation from the synthesis medium, in which the hazardous synthesis precursors remain unseparated from the NPs and constitute a severe risk for unnecessary environmental contamination. This review examines the situation of the available separation methods of AgNPs from crude suspensions or real samples. Different separation techniques are reviewed, and relevant data are discussed, with a focus on the sustainability and efficiency of AgNPs separation methods.

Abstract
Abstract
This work presents an innovative silica-layer coated capillary with comparison study of the silica-layer coated capillary and the fused-silica capillary for the separation of seven phenolic acids viz. p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (PHPA), p-coumaric acid (PCA), p-hydroxybenzoic acid (PHBA), caffeic acid (CFA), (3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)acetic acid (DHPA), gallic acid (GLA), and 2,3,4-trihydroxybenzoic acid (THBA), together with caffeine (CF), by capillary electro-chromatography (CEC) and micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC), respectively. The running buffer was 25.0 mM borate at pH 9.0, with addition of 50.0 mM sodium dodecyl sulfate for the MEKC mode. The non-coated capillary could not separate all seven phenolic acids by CEC or MEKC. This was achieved using the coated capillary for both CEC and MEKC. The innovative coated capillary with CEC had plate number N ≥ 2.0 × 104 m−1 and resolution Rs ≥ 1.6 for all adjacent pairs of peaks. The capillary was also able to separate GLA and THBA which are structural isomers. Although MEKC mode provided comparable efficiency and selectivity, the reduced EOF of the coated capillary led to longer separation time. The linear calibration range of the seven phenolic acids and caffeine were different but the coefficients of determinations (r2) were all > 0.9965. The precisions of the relative migration times and peak area ratios of analyte to internal standard were 0.1–1.8% and 1.8–6.8%, respectively. There were no statistical differences in the efficiency of separation of the phenolic acids and caffeine for three coated capillaries. It was applied to the analysis of caffeine and phenolic acids in brewed tea using tyramine as the internal standard. The tea samples were diluted prior to analysis by CEC. The separation was less than 15 min. Caffeine, gallic acid and p-coumaric acid were detected and quantified. Caffeine and gallic acid contents were 10.8–15.0 and 2.6–4.8 mg g−1 dry tea leaves, respectively. p-Coumaric acid was detected in only one of the samples with a content of 0.4 mg g−1. Percent recoveries of spiked diluted samples were 90 ± 9 to 106 ± 13%, respectively.
Article highlights
Silica-layer coated capillary is first reported for simultaneous separation of seven phenolic acids by non-MEKC analysis.
Performance between coated, and non-coated capillaries with analysis by CEC and MEKC were compared.
Plate number, resolution, capillary reproducibility, and electroosmotic flow mobility are investigated.

Abstract
The present review summarizes scientific reports from between 2010 and 2019 on the use of capillary electrophoresis to quantify active constituents (i.e., phenolic compounds, coumarins, protoberberines, curcuminoids, iridoid glycosides, alkaloids, triterpene acids) in medicinal plants and herbal formulations. The present literature review is founded on PRISMA guidelines and selection criteria were formulated on the basis of PICOS (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, Study type). The scrutiny reveals capillary electrophoresis with ultraviolet detection as the most frequently used capillary electromigration technique for the selective separation and quantification of bioactive compounds. For the purpose of improvement of resolution and sensitivity, other detection methods are used (including mass spectrometry), modifiers to the background electrolyte are introduced and different extraction as well as pre-concentration techniques are employed. In conclusion, capillary electrophoresis is a powerful tool and for given applications it is comparable to high performance liquid chromatography. Short time of execution, high efficiency, versatility in separation modes and low consumption of solvents and sample make capillary electrophoresis an attractive and eco-friendly alternative to more expensive methods for the quality control of drugs or raw plant material without any relevant decrease in sensitivity.

Abstract
Enantioseparation of chiral products has become increasingly important in a large diversity of academic and industrial applications. The separation of chiral compounds is inherently challenging and thus requires a suitable analytical technique that can achieve high resolution and sensitivity. In this context, CE has shown remarkable results so far. Chiral CE offers an orthogonal enantioselectivity and is typically considered less costly than chromatographic techniques, since only minute amounts of chiral selectors are needed. Several CE approaches have been developed for chiral analysis, including chiral EKC and chiral CEC. Enantioseparations by EKC benefit from the wide variety of possible pseudostationary phases that can be employed. Chiral CEC, on the other hand, combines chromatographic separation principles with the bulk fluid movement of CE, benefitting from reduced band broadening as compared to pressure-driven systems. Although UV detection is conventionally used for these approaches, MS can also be considered. CE-MS represents a promising alternative due to the increased sensitivity and selectivity, enabling the chiral analysis of complex samples. The potential contamination of the MS ion source in EKC-MS can be overcome using partial-filling and counter-migration techniques. However, chiral analysis using monolithic and open-tubular CEC-MS awaits additional method validation and a dedicated commercial interface. Further efforts in chiral CE are expected toward the improvement of existing techniques, the development of novel pseudostationary phases, and establishing the use of chiral ionic liquids, molecular imprinted polymers, and metal-organic frameworks. These developments will certainly foster the adoption of CE(-MS) as a well-established technique in routine chiral analysis.

Abstract
Extensive medical research showed that patients, with high protein concentration in urine, have various kinds of kidney diseases, referred to as proteinuria. Urinary protein biomarkers are useful for diagnosis of many health conditions – kidney and cardio vascular diseases, cancers, diabetes, infections. This review focuses on the instrumental quantification (electrophoresis, chromatography, immunoassays, mass spectrometry, fluorescence spectroscopy, the infrared spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy) of proteins (the most of all albumin) in human urine matrix. Different techniques provide unique information on what constituents of the urine are. Due to complex nature of urine, a separation step by electrophoresis or chromatography are often used for proteomics study of urine. Mass spectrometry is a powerful tool for the discovery and the analysis of biomarkers in urine, however, costs of the analysis are high, especially for quantitative analysis. Immunoassays, which often come with fluorescence detection, are major qualitative and quantitative tools in clinical analysis. While Infrared and Raman spectroscopies do not give extensive information about urine, they could become important tools for the routine clinical diagnostics of kidney problems, due to rapidness and low-cost. Thus, it is important to review all the applicable techniques and methods related to urine analysis. In this review, a brief overview of each technique's principle is introduced. Where applicable, research papers about protein determination in urine are summarized with the main figures of merits, such as the limit of detection, the detectable range, recovery and accuracy, when available. Urinary protein biomarkers are useful for diagnosis of many conditions: kidney and cardio vascular diseases, cancers. Liquid chromatography – mass spectroscopy is a powerful tool for urine proteomics, but used mostly in science. Immunoassays are widely used in both clinical and bio-analytical laboratories. IR and Raman spectroscopies are promising tools for diagnostics of urine due to low-cost and rapidness.

Front Microbiol 2020; 11:1916. [PMID: 32983001 PMCID: PMC7480073 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2020.01916] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2019] [Accepted: 07/21/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Aflatoxins, produced mainly by filamentous fungi Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus, are one of the most carcinogenic compounds that have adverse health effects on both humans and animals consuming contaminated food and feed, respectively. Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and aflatoxin B2 (AFB2) as well as aflatoxin G1(AFG1) and aflatoxin G2 (AFG2) occur in the contaminated foods and feed. In the case of dairy ruminants, after the consumption of feed contaminated with aflatoxins, aflatoxin metabolites [aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) and aflatoxin M2 (AFM2)] may appear in milk. Because of the health risk and the official maximum limits of aflatoxins, there is a need for application of fast and accurate testing methods. At present, there are several analytical methods applied in practice for determination of aflatoxins. The aim of this review is to provide a guide that summarizes worldwide aflatoxin regulations and analytical methods for determination of aflatoxins in different food and feed matrices, that helps in the decision to choose the most appropriate method that meets the practical requirements of fast and sensitive control of their contamination. Analytical options are outlined from the simplest and fastest methods with the smallest instrument requirements, through separation methods, to the latest hyphenated techniques.

Abstract
Based on material published between 1989 and 2018 in this paper high performance liquid chromatography and electromigration techniques used in studies of natural dyes that can be found in historical objects are rewieved. Different aspects of analysis have been discussed: the stationary and mobile phase, the choice of sample solvent, methods of extraction and detection, including sensitivity parameters, such as LOD and/or LOQ. The discussed dyes have been divided into three categories (a) red antraquinone dyes along with dyes extracted from bark and tree juices, (b) yellow flavonoid dyes and saffron and (c) blue indigoid dyes. The main markers (chromophores or auxochromes) typical for each dye source were presented which allows to identify specific species of source plants and animals. The first part of the study involved the analysis of most critical findings when it comes to HPLC or represented an significant analytical approach. The second part of the study is focused on different aspects of electromigration techniques application in analysis of natural dyes with special attention paid on such parameters as the running buffer/mobile phase composition and sample solvent. Detection methods along with LOD and LOQ comparison in HPLC and electromigration techniques were also discussed. Methods of sample preparation, such as hydrolysis and extraction, used in HPLC and electromigration techniques were also briefly discussed.

Separation of 9-Fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl Amino Acid Derivatives in Micellar Systems of High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography and Pressurized Planar Electrochromatography.

Abstract
The problems with separation of amino acid mixtures in reversed-phase mode are the result of their hydrophilic nature. The derivatisation of the amino group of mentioned above solutes leads to their solution. For this purpose, 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl chloroformate (f-moc-Cl) as the derivatisation reagent is often used. In our study, the separation of some f-moc- amino acid derivatives (alanine, phenylalanine, leucine, methionine, proline and tryptophan) with the use of micellar systems of reversed-phase high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) and pressurized planar electrochromatography (PPEC) is investigated. The effect of surfactant concentration, its type (anionic, cationic and non-ionic) and mobile phase buffer pH on the discussed above solute migration distances are presented. Our work reveals that the increase of sodium dodecylsulphate concentration in the mobile phase has a different effect on solute retention in HPTLC and PPEC. Moreover, it also affects the order of solutes in both techniques. In PPEC, in contrast to the HPTLC technique, the mobile phase pH affects solute retention. The type of surfactant in the mobile phase also impacts solute retention and migration distances. A mobile phase containing SDS improves system efficiency in both techniques. Herein, such an effect is presented for the first time.

A 96-multiplex capillary electrophoresis screening platform for product based evolution of P450 BM3. Sci Rep 2019; 9:15479.

Abstract
The main challenge that prevents a broader application of directed enzyme evolution is the lack of high-throughput screening systems with universal product analytics. Most directed evolution campaigns employ screening systems based on colorimetric or fluorogenic surrogate substrates or universal quantification methods such as nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy or mass spectrometry, which have not been advanced to achieve a high-throughput. Capillary electrophoresis with a universal UV-based product detection is a promising analytical tool to quantify product formation. Usage of a multiplex system allows the simultaneous measurement with 96 capillaries. A 96-multiplexed capillary electrophoresis (MP-CE) enables a throughput that is comparable to traditional direct evolution campaigns employing 96-well microtiter plates. Here, we report for the first time the usage of a MP-CE system for directed P450 BM3 evolution towards increased product formation (oxidation of alpha-isophorone to 4-hydroxy-isophorone; highest reached total turnover number after evolution campaign: 7120 mol4-OH molP450−1). The MP-CE platform was 3.5-fold more efficient in identification of beneficial variants than the standard cofactor (NADPH) screening system.

Current Application of Capillary Electrophoresis in Nanomaterial Characterisation and Its Potential to Characterise the Protein and Small Molecule Corona. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2018; 8:E99. [PMID: 29439415 PMCID: PMC5853730 DOI: 10.3390/nano8020099] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2018] [Revised: 01/22/2018] [Accepted: 01/30/2018] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Due to the increasing use and production of nanomaterials (NMs), the ability to characterise their physical/chemical properties quickly and reliably has never been so important. Proper characterisation allows a thorough understanding of the material and its stability, and is critical to establishing dose-response curves to ascertain risks to human and environmental health. Traditionally, methods such as Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Field Flow Fractionation (FFF) and Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) have been favoured for size characterisation, due to their wide-availability and well-established protocols. Capillary Electrophoresis (CE) offers a faster and more cost-effective solution for complex dispersions including polydisperse or non-spherical NMs. CE has been used to rapidly separate NMs of varying sizes, shapes, surface modifications and compositions. This review will discuss the literature surrounding the CE separation techniques, detection and NM characteristics used for the analysis of a wide range of NMs. The potential of combining CE with mass spectrometry (CE-MS) will also be explored to further expand the characterisation of NMs, including the layer of biomolecules adsorbed to the surface of NMs in biological or environmental compartments, termed the acquired biomolecule corona. CE offers the opportunity to uncover new/poorly characterised low abundance and polar protein classes due to the high ionisation efficiency of CE-MS. Furthermore, the possibility of using CE-MS to characterise the poorly researched small molecule interactions within the NM corona is discussed.
