A hanging mercury drop electrode and a mercury meniscus modified silver solid amalgam electrode were used as electroanalytical sensors for voltammetric determination of antineoplastic drugs carmustine, lomustine and streptozotocin containing reducible N-nitroso groups. On the example of carmustine it was shown that its one-step reduction proceeds at substantially more negative potentials at amalgam electrode as compared with mercury electrode. Both electrodes offer satisfactory repeatability of current response (relative standard deviations < 5%) using DC voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry. The achieved limits of determination lie mostly in the 10–7 mol l–1 concentration range. The mentioned voltammetric methods were applied to determination of carmustine and lomustine in pharmaceutical formulations. Further, the mercury meniscus modified silver solid amalgam electrode was employed in a “wall-jet” amperometric detection cell in the determination of carmustine by flow injection analysis. Under optimized conditions (run electrolyte Britton– Robinson buffer of pH 7.0; flow rate 5.5 ml min–1; detection potential –1.5 V; injection volume 0.02 ml) the limit of quantitation 7.1 × 10–6 mol l–1 was achieved.

Abstract New electrochemical method for determination of Nordiazepam (NDZ) at meniscus modified silver solid amalgam electrode (m-AgSAE) was developed utilizing differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The pH effect on the current response of NDZ was studied in the mixture of Britton-Robinson buffer (BR) and methanol (9:1) with optimum pH value of 10. The calibration dependences were examined under the optimal conditions and linearity in the range from 2 × 10−6 to 1 × 10−4 mol L−1 with limit of quantification of 1.7 × 10−6 mol L−1 were accomplished.

Gold porous membrane electrode has been used for the potentiometric determination of small amounts of sulfur dioxide absorbed in the solutions of sodium tetrachloromercurate or sodium hydroxide. Sulfur dioxide is released by the reaction with an acid into a stream of nitrogen and led to the electrode immersed into the solution of iodine monochloride. Part of SO2 penetrates through the membrane pores into the solution where it is oxidized. The electrode redox potential change is a measure of the SO2 concentration in the absorption solution. In the solution of 1 . 10-5 M[ICl2]- in 0.02 M-HClO4 the limit of quantitation was found to be 0.07 ng SO2 . ml-1. The relative standard deviations of 1.4% and 2.5% were found for the determinations of 10 ng and 0.5 ng of SO2, respectively. Higher concentrations of H2S interfere only in the hydroxide solution. About 10 samples can be analyzed per one hour.

Abstract Background Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) causes severe life-threatening condition, i.e., AIDS. HIV destabilises an individual’s ability to prevent infection. Therefore, the combine medication lamivudine (LVD) and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) are prescribed to suppress the amount of HIV infection in individual’s body; thus, the individual’s immune system could function properly. Consequently, the objective of present research work was to investigate robust and sensitive liquid chromatography avenue for simultaneous determination of lamivudine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in pure material and combined dosage form. Results The reversed-phase chromatographic separation has been performed through Hypersil BDS C18 column using solvent system composed of 10 mM potassium dihydrogen phosphate (pH 4.0): acetonitrile (60:40% v/v). The determination was executed at 30 oC at 1 mL/min rate for flow of solvent system through column. The eluents of column were monitored at 265 nm using Photodiode Array detector has revealed admirable retention times, i.e., 4.67 and 8.78 min for both drugs, respectively. The calibration curve demonstrated excellent linearity in the range of 10–50 μg/mL for lamivudine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate with better determination coefficients was more than (r2 0.999). Conclusion The estimable method was effectively validated with respect to accuracy, precision, sensitive (limit of detection and limit of quantitation), robustness, ruggedness, and for selectivity and specificity. The value less than 2 for percentage relative standard deviation for accuracy, precision, robustness, and ruggedness satisfying the acceptance criteria as per procedure of International Council for Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use.

A method for simultaneous determination of residuals of four herbicides and pesticides, simazine, carboxin, diflubenzuron and rotenone, in Chinese green tea was developed. In the proposed method, the tea powder was placed in a centrifuge tube with a plug, extracted in saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution and acetonitrile, agitated using vortex oscillator, and then centrifuged 5 min at 4000 rpm. The supernatant solution was purified by primary secondary amine (PSA) sorbent, C18 power, and graphitized carbon black powder, respectively. Then the purified extracts were dissolved with acetonitrile:0.1% formic acid aqueous solution (40:60, V/V) and agitated, filtered using a syringe with 0.22 μm nylon filter prior to UPLC-MS/MS analysis. The UPLC analysis was performed on an ACQUITY UPLC® HSS T3 column (2.1 mm×100 mm, 1.8 µm), using acetonitrile-0.1% formic acid as mobile phase with the flow rate as 0.3 mL•min-1. Injection volume was 10 µL. Positive ionization mode was applied, and the ions were monitored in the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode with curtain gas 0.069 MPa, collision gas 0.052 MPa, ESI ion spray voltage 5000 V, temperature 550 °C, nebulizer gas 0.24 MPa, and turbo gas 0.28 MPa. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) of the proposed method are 1 μg•kg-1and 5 μg•kg-1, respectively. The average recoveries of the four pesticides at 10, 20, and 50 µg•kg-1spiking levels range from 77.4% to 95.3%.

A capillary electrophoretic assay for determining synthetic antioxidant butylated hydroxyanisole in food has been developed. The extraction with 70% (v/v) methanol quantitatively extracted synthetic antioxidant. The separation was carried out by CZE using phosphate at a separation potential of 18 kV. Amperometric detection was achieved with an applied potential of 0.60 V. A linear relationship between the peak height and the concentration of the analyte was found in the range 1.8-180 µg/mL for BHA, with correlation coefficient of 0.994. The relative standard deviations of migration time and peak height were 0.19 and 5.3 %, respectively. The method developed was successfully applied for the determination of synthetic antioxidant butylated hydroxyanisole in food. Recovery of butylated hydroxyanisole was 93%.

Abstract A sensitive and selective high-performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the determination of tianeptine (Tia) in tablets. The method is based on derivatization of Tia with 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan (NBD-Cl). A mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile10 mM orthophosphoric acid (pH 2.5; 77 + 23) was used at a flow rate of 1 mL/min on a C18 column. The Tia-NBD derivative was monitored using a fluorescence detector, with emission set at 520 nm and excitation at 458 nm. Gabapentin was selected as an internal standard. Linear calibration graphs were obtained in the concentration range of 45300 ng/mL. The lower limit of detection (LOD) was 10 ng/mL at a signal-to-noise ratio of 4. The lower limit of quantitation (LOQ) was 45 ng/mL. The relative standard values for intra- and interday precision were &lt;0.46 and &lt;0.57%, respectively. The recovery of the drug samples ranged between 98.89 and 99.85%. No chromatographic interference from the tablet excipients was found. The proposed method was validated in terms of precision, robustness, recovery, LOD, and LOQ. All the validation parameters were within the acceptance range. The proposed method was applied for the determination of Tia in commercially available tablets. The results were compared with those obtained by an ultraviolet spectrophotometric method using t- and F-tests.
