Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is rich in phenols, vitamins, carotenoids, and mineral elements, such as selenium. Additionally, it contains the active ingredients sulforaphane and indole-3-carbinol, which have been demonstrated to have pharmacological effects. In this study, sulforaphane and indole-3-carbinol were extracted and quantified from rapeseeds using quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe (QuEChERS) method coupled with ultra high performance liquid chromarography tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS). The major parameters for extraction and purification efficiency were optimized, including the hydrolysis reaction, extraction condition and type and amount of purification adsorbents. The limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantification (LOQ) for sulforaphane were 0.05 μg/kg and 0.15 μg/kg, and for indole-3-carbinol were 5 μg/kg and 15 μg/kg, respectively. The developed method was used to successfully analyze fifty rapeseed samples. The QuEChERS coupled with UHPLC-MS/MS simultaneously detect sulforaphane and indole-3-carbinol in vegetable matrix and evaluate the quality and nutrition of rapeseed samples.

Background: Sample preparation is one of the most challenging phases in pharmaceutical analysis, especially in biological matrices, affecting the whole analytical methodology. Objective: In this study, a new Ca(II)/Cu(II)/alginate/CuO nanoparticles hydrogel fiber (CCACHF) was synthesized through a simple, green procedure and applied for fiber micro solid phase extraction (FMSPE) of diazepam (DIZ) and oxazepam (OXZ) as model drugs prior to high-performance liquid chromatography-UV detection (HPLC-UV). Methods: Composition and morphology of the prepared fiber were characterized and the effect of main parameters on the fiber fabrication and extraction efficiency have been studied and optimized. Results: In optimal conditions, calibration curves were linear ranging between 0.1–500 µg L−1 with regression coefficients of 0.9938 and 0.9968. Limit of detection (LOD) (S/N=3) and limit of quantification (LOQ) (S/N=10) of the technique for DIZ and OXZ were 0.03 to 0.1 µg L−1. Within-day and between-day relative standard deviations (RSDs) for DIZ and OXZ were 6.0–12.5% and 3.3–9.4%, respectively. Conclusion: The fabricated adsorbent has been substantially employed to extraction of selected benzo-diazepines (BZDs) from human serum real specimens and the obtained recoveries were also satisfactory (82.1-109.7%).

This study was designed to develop and validate a simple and efficient high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method to determine flunixin concentrations in Asian elephant’s (Elephas maximus) plasma. Flunixin was administered orally at a dose of 0.8 mg/kg, and blood samples were collected. Flunixin extraction was performed by adding an equal amount of acetonitrile to plasma and centrifuging at 4500 rpm for 25 minutes. The supernatant was removed, and flunixin was analyzed using HPLC-UV detection. Two methods were developed and tested utilizing two different mobile phases either with or without adding methanol (ACN: H2O vs. ACN: H2O: MeOH). Both methods showed excellent linearity and reproducibility. The limit of detection was 0.05 ug/ml and limit of quantification was 0.1 ug/ml. the efficiency of flunixin recovery was maximized by the addition of methanol to mobile phase (ACN: H2O: MeOH as 50:30:20) at 95% in comparison to 23% without methanol. In conclusion, adding methanol to HPLC methods for extraction of flunixin from elephants’ plasma yielded higher recovery rate than without methanol.

Abstract A novel analytical method, based on high-performance liquid chromatography with a UV (HPLC-UV) detection system for the sensitive detection of a genotoxic impurity (GTI) 5-amino-2-chloropyridine (5A2Cl) in a model active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) tenoxicam (TNX), has been developed and validated. The HPLC-UV method was used for the determination of GTI 5A2Cl in API TNX. The compounds were separated using a mobile phase composed of water (pH 3 adjusted with orthophosphoric acid): MeOH, (50:50: v/v) on a C18 column (150 × 4.6 mm i.d., 2.7 μm) at a flow rate of 0.7 mL min−1. Detection was carried out in the 254 nm wavelength. Column temperature was maintained at 40°C during the analyses and 10 μL volume was injected into the HPLC-UV system. The method was validated in the range of 1–40 μg mL−1. The obtained calibration curves for the GTI compound was found linear with equation, y = 40766x − 1125,6 (R2 = 0.999). The developed analytical method toward the target compounds was accurate, and the achieved limit of detection and limit of quantification values for the target compound 5A2Cl were 0.015 and 0.048 μg mL−1, respectively. The recovery values were calculated and found to be between 98.80 and 100.03%. The developed RP-HPLC-UV analytical method in this research is accurate, precise, rapid, simple and appropriate for the sensitive analysis of target GTI 5A2Cl in model API TNX.

Abstract Tigecycline (TIG), a novel glycylcycline antibiotic, plays an important role in the management of complicated skin and intra-abdominal infections. The available data lack any description of a method for determination of TIG in avian plasma. In our study, a selective, accurate and reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was developed for the determination of TIG in turkey plasma. Sample preparation was based on protein precipitation and liquid-liquid extraction using 1,2-dichloroethane. Chromatographic separation of TIG and minocycline (internal standard, IS) was achieved on an Atlantis T3 column (150 mm × 3.0 mm, 3.0 μm) using gradient elution. The selected reaction monitoring transitions were performed at 293.60 m/z → 257.10 m/z for TIG and 458.00 m/z → 441.20 m/z for IS. The developed method was validated in terms of specificity, selectivity, linearity, lowest limit of quantification, limit of detection, precision, accuracy, matrix effect, carry-over effect, extraction recovery and stability. All parameters of the method submitted to validation met the acceptance criteria. The assay was linear over the concentration range of 0.01-100 μg/ml. This validated method was successfully applied to a TIG pharmacokinetic study in turkey after intravenous and oral administration at a dose of 10 mg/kg at various time-points.

The presence of pesticide residues in primary and derived agricultural products raises serious health concerns for consumers across the globe. The aim of the present study was to assess the level of pesticide residues in Okra in India. A multi-residue method for the quantification of fifty-four pesticides in okra is described in this work. The present study employed a modified quick, easy cheap, effective rugged and safe (QuEChERS) extraction procedure followed by UHPLC-MS/MS (Ultra-High-Performance Liquid Chromatography coupled to Tandem Mass Spectrometry) analysis. Validation of the method was according to the guidelines given by European Union SANCO/12571/2013. The levels of validation were 10.0, 50.0 and 100 µg kg-1. The following parameters such as linearity, the limit of detection (LOD) (nearer to 0.005 mg kg-1) and limit of quantification (LOQ) (nearer to 0.01 mg kg-1) were set to be acceptable. The trueness of the method for 54 pesticides in all Okra commodities was between 80-110% with satisfactory repeatability and within-run reproducibility except for the pesticide residues such as Thiamethoxam and Fenamidone. The measurement of uncertainty for each of the pesticide was below 50% and was estimated to be in the range of 5.37% - 10.71%, which meets the criteria established in the SANCO/12571/2013 document (European Union, 2013). This method is concluded to be applicable for the determination of pesticide residues in Okra.

An attempt was made to develop a simple, selective, rapid and precise high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for simultaneous estimation of thymol and eugenol. Analysis was performed on a C18 column with the mobile phase consisting of solvent %A (water) and solvent %B (acetonitrile) with the following gradient: 0–1 min, 80 % A, 20 % B; 1–7 min, 40 % A and 60 % B; 7–12 min, 10 % A and 90 % B; and 12–15min, 80 % A and 20 % B at a flow rate of 0.6 mL/min. The compounds were well separated on a Thermo Scientific Hypersil BDS RP C18 column (4.6 mm × 150 mm, dp = 5 µm) and ultraviolet detection at 280 nm. The retention times of eugenol and thymol were 10.5 min and 11.6 min, respectively. Validation of the proposed method was carried out according to the guidelines of the International Council on Harmonization (ICH). The linearity of the method is good for thymol and eugenol over the concentration range of 1–50 ppm, and the r 2 values were 0.9996 for both thymol and eugenol. The calculated limit of detection (LOD) value was 0.5ppm and the limit of quantification (LOQ) value was 1ppm for both the analytes. The intra and interday relative standard deviation (RSD) of the retention time and peak areas was less than 3 %.The established method was appropriate, and the two markers were well resolved, enabling efficient quantitative analysis of thymol and eugenol.
