Background As the major bioactive compounds in citrus and grape, it is significant to use the contents of flavonoids and phenolic acids as quality evaluation criteria to provide a better view of classifying the quality and understanding the potential health benefits of each fruit variety. Methods A total of 15 varieties of citrus and 12 varieties of grapes were collected from Fujian, China. High-performance liquid chromatography method was used for the simultaneous determination of 17 phenolic compounds, including gallic acid, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, syringic acid, ρ-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, benzoic acid, salicylic acid, catechin, epicatechin, resveratrol, rutin, naringin, hesperidin, quercetin, nobiletin and tangeritin in the peels of citrus and grape cultivars. Further, the cultivars of citrus and grape were classified using principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA). Results A thorough separation of the 17 compounds was achieved within 100 min. The tested method exhibited good linearity (the limits of detection and limits of quantification were in the range of 0.03–1.83 µg/mL and 0.09–5.55 µg/mL, respectively), precision (the relative standard deviations of repeatability were 1.02–1.97%), and recovery (92.2–102.82%) for all the compounds, which could be used for the simultaneous determination of phenolic compounds in citrus and grape. Hesperidin (12.93–26,160.98 µg/g DW) and salicylic acid (5.35–751.02 µg/g DW) were the main flavonoids and phenolic acids in 15 citrus varieties, respectively. Besides, the hesperidin (ND to 605.48 µg/g DW) and salicylic acid (ND to 1,461.79 µg/g DW) were found as the highest flavonoid and the most abundant phenolic acid in grapes, respectively. A total of 15 citrus and 12 grape samples were classified into two main groups by PCA and HCA with strong consistency.

Background: Xanthium sibiricum is a well-known traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that has been commonly used to treat rhinitis and related nasal diseases. The aim of this study was to develop a comprehensive analytical method based on high-performance liquid chromatographyelectrospray ionization coupled with triple quadrupole-linear ion trap mass spectrometry (LC-ESIQTRAP- MS/MS) for the simultaneous determination of phenolic acids, anthraquinones, and flavonoids in the aerial part and fruit of Xanthium sibiricum. Methods: The separation was completed on Agilent ZORBAX SB-C18 column (250 × 4.6 mm, 5μm) using methanol and 0.2% (v/v) aqueous formic acid as the mobile phase. The target components were analyzed in negative ion mode with accurate and sensitive multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. Results: The correlation coefficients of all the calibration curves were higher than 0.9994. Relative standard deviations of intra- and inter-day precisions of the eighteen components were all lower than 2.87% and the recoveries were in the range from 97.73% to 101.82%. The validated method was successfully applied to possess forty Xanthium sibiricum samples (Xanthii Herba, Xanthii Fructus, and processed Xanthii Fructus) collected from different places in P. R. China. Furthermore, principal component analysis (PCA) was performed to evaluate and classify the samples according to the contents of the eighteen bioactive components. Conclusion: All the results demonstrated that the developed method was useful and could be applied for the overall assessment of the quality of Xanthii Herba and Xanthii Fructus.

Abstract This paper describes a rapid reversed-phase liquid chromatographic method, with UV detection, for the simultaneous determination of acetylsalicylic acid, caffeine, codeine, paracetamol, pyridoxine, and thiamine in pharmaceutical preparations. A reversed-phase C18 Nucleosil column is used. The mobile phase consists of 2 successive eluants: water (5 min) and acetonitrile–water (75 + 25, v/v; 9 min), both adjusted to pH 2.1 with phosphoric acid. Before determination acetylsalicylic acid is completely converted to salicylic acid by alkaline hydrolysis. Salicylic acid, caffeine, paracetamol, pyridoxine, and thiamine are all detected at 285 nm, whereas codeine is detected at 240 nm. Calibration curves were linear for salicylic acid, caffeine, paracetamol, and pyridoxine in the range of 50–500 mg/L, and for codeine and thiamine in the range of 50–1000 mg/L. The method was applied to the analysis of 13 fortified commercial pharmaceutical preparations. Recoveries ranged from 92.6 to 105.5%, with relative standard deviations of 1.1–5.8%.

A rapid high-performance liquid chromatography method with electrospray ionization and tandem mass spectrometry detection (LC-ESI-MS/MS) was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of 7 glucocorticoids (GC) including hydrocortisone acetate (HCA), cortisone acetate (COA), prednisone (PDS), prednisolone (PDL), methyl prednisolone (MPL), dexamethasone (DEX) and fluocinolone acetonide (FLA), which may be illegally blended in transdermal cosmetics. Sample preparation step consists of the extraction with ethyl acetate followed by centrifugation and filtration. The extract was dried, diluted and cleaned using C18 SPE column. The compounds were separated by reversed-phase chromatography with mobile phase containing 0.1% formic acid in water and acetonitrile in gradient condition. The method was validated at the validation level from 0.12 to 6.0 µg/g. The LODs for PDS, PDL and FLA were 0.3 µg/g and for the others were 0.03 µg/g, and LOQs were 0.6 and 0.12 µg/g, respectively. The reproducibility was satisfied with the relative standard deviation below 23% and the recoveries were in the range of 74.3-106.7% meeting AOAC requirements. The studied glucocorticoids were detected in about 20% of tested samples collected in Hanoi with the level contents in the range from 0.18 to 16.2 µg/g.

Introduction: Treatment of tuberculosis (TB) requires a combination of drugs. Isoniazid (INH) and pyrazinamide (PZA) are key components of the fi rst-line regimen used in the treatment of TB and monitoring these drug levels in plasma would help in better patient care. The objective of the study is to develop and validate a simple and rapid high performance liquid chromatographic method for simultaneous determination of INH and PZA in human plasma. Methodology: The method involved deproteinisation of plasma with para hydroxy benzaldehyde and trifl uoroacetic acid and analysis using a reversed-phase C8 column and UV detection at 267nm. The fl ow rate was set at 1.5 ml/min at ambient temperature. The accuracy, linearity, precision, specifi city, stability and recovery of the method were evaluated. The method was applied to estimate plasma INH and PZA collected from six children with TB. Results: Well resolved peaks of PZA and INH at retention times of 3.2 and 6.1 minutes respectively were obtained. The assay was linear from 0.25 - 10.0 ìg/ml for INH and 1.25 – 50.0 ìg/ml for PZA. The within-day and between-day relative standard deviation for standards were below 10%. The average recoveries of INH and PZA from plasma were 104 and 102% respectively. Conclusions: A rapid and accurate method for simultaneous determination of INH and PZA in plasma was validated. The assay spans the concentration range of clinical interest. The easy sample preparation and small sample size makes this assay highly suitable for pharmacokinetic studies of INH and PZA in TB patients.

An ion-exchange chromatography method with visible light detection was developed for the simultaneous determination of chloride, bromide, and iodide in foodstuffs. They were separated by means of low pressure ion-exchange chromatography using 4.0mM sodium carbonate solution as the eluent and a low pressure ion-exchange chromatography column as the separation column. The detection limits of chloride, bromide and iodide were 0.011 mg/l, 0.002 mg/l, and 0.023 mg/l, respectively. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) of the peak area were smaller than 2.9%. The recoveries were between 98.61% and 105.65%. Unlike the traditional methods, this validated method is inexpensive and stable.

This study was designed for simultaneous determination of 13 chemical marker compounds, namely, protocatechuic acid, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, liquiritin, hesperidin, apigetrin, rosmarinic acid, oxypeucedanin hydrate, byakangelicin, apigenin, glycyrrhizin, nobiletin, and 6-gingerol in Gwakhyangjeonggi-san (GJS: Huoxiang-zhengqi-san in Chinese). A quantitative analytical method was developed based on HPLC-PDA with validation in terms of precision, accuracy, and repeatability, and successfully employed for quality evaluation of GJS samples with the help of chemometric techniques such as principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA). The correlation coefficient for the linear regression was > 0.9994. The intra-day and inter-day precision was < 3.0% of the relative standard deviation (RSD) value, and the recovery was in the range 92.5–107.0%, with RSD values < 4.0%, and the repeatability was < 3.0% of RSD. Variations in the quantity were observed in GJS products from different origins, which were classified by PCA and HCA. The quantitative and chemometric analyses indicate the necessity for consistency in GJS production for the purpose of quality control.
