Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) is one of the most commonly used methods in pharmacopoeias for analyzing chemical components of herbal medicine. Since the isocratic elution method cannot be applied successfully in TLC analysis for separating all the nucleoside components, the stepwise gradient elution has been developed in this work to separate eight nucleoside standards with success. In this way, quantitative analyses of the samples of Cordyceps sinensis were achieved via the pro-posed TLC procedure coupled with the scanning densitometric techniques of CAMAG and TLCQA methods for qualitative and quantitative analysis.展开更多

Daunorubicin was used as an internal standard (IS). The doxorubicin and IS were extracted with ethyl acetate from plasma samples. The chromatographic separations were achieved on a C18 column (2.1 mm×50 mm, 2.5μm) configured with a C18 guard column (2.1 mm×10 mm, 2.5 μm). The mobile phase of 0.1% formic acid-water solution and acetonitrile was delivered using a gradient elution program at a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min. The temperature for column was maintained at 40 ℃. The electrospray ionization (ESI) source was operated in the positive ion mode, and the quantification was conducted using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) of the transitions m/z 544.07→396.96 and m/z 528.06→321.05 for doxorubicin and IS, respectively. The calibration curve of doxorubicin was linear (r 〉 0.999) within the range of 2-600 ng/mL. The lower limit of quantification was 2 ng/mL. The relative errors of intra-day and inter-day accuracies ranged from -2.48% to 0.18% and from -3.78% to 1.94%, respectively. The relative standard deviations of intra-day and inter-day precisions were less than 8.65% and 6.41%, respectively. The method exhibited satisfactory results in terms of specificity, sensitivity, matrix effect, recovery and stability. The newly developed LC-MS/MS method was reliable to monitor doxorubicin concentrations in rabbit plasma.展开更多

The substances included 30 polychlorinated biphenyls, 17 organochlorine pesticides, 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, 3 hexabromocyclododecanes. Solid phase extraction was performed using a C18 membrane and silica gel column. Gradient elution was conducted using organic solvents with different polarities; as a result, the efficiency of the C18 film is improved and the interferences from impurities and target compounds are eliminated. Extracts were subsequently analyzed through gas chromatography or liquid and gas chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry. Method validation yielded the following values: recoveries of all target analytes in the Antarctic water ranged from 87.3% to 117.6% and reproducibility as percent relative standard deviation was lower than 5%. Quantification limits ranged from 0.004 μg L^-1 to 0.030 μg L^-1. The established method improved the recoveries and reduced the limits of detection. Results indicated the method exhibited good performance in the simultaneous concentration and selective separation of 66 (ultra) trace organic pollutants; Therefore, the proposed sample pretreatment can potentially eliminate the effects of various classes of impurities to some extent.展开更多
