The soluble byproducts were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography/multiple stage tandem mass spec-trometry, and chemicals with formula of C9H16O4、 C10H14O4、 C11H12O4、C12H10O5 and C12H16O8 were detected. THF could participate in the reaction via ring-opening into 1,4-butanediol followed by esterification with LA into C9H16O4 or etherification with HMF into C10H14O4. C11H12O4 was formed by esterification of HMF with LA, C12H10O5 was formed by self-etherification of HMF, while C12H16O8 was formed by acetalization of HMF with glucose. Self-etherification of HMF and etherification of HMF with 1,4-butanediol were identified as two main side reactions.展开更多

PH and diphenhydramine hydrochloride (internal standard, IS) were extracted with a solvent mixture of petroleum ether-ethyl ether (7:3). Chromatographic separation was achieved on a reversed-phase Eclipse XDB-C18 column (4.6 mm × 150 mm, 5 um) using the eluent of methanol-water (5 mmol/L ammonium acetate) (90:10, v/v, pH 5.8) as mobile phase. The electrospray ionization source was set at the positive multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. This method involved the use of the [M+H]^+ ions of PH and diphenhydramine hydrochloride at m/z 316.4- 128.2 and m/z 256.4-167.2. The calibration curve was linear in the range of 1-1000 ng/mL with a correlation coefficient of 0.9988. The lower limit of quantification was 0.05 ng/mL. The precision, accuracy and recovery of the method were acceptable. Following intravenous injection admires' tration at doses of 0.5, 1 and 5 mg/kg PH, the main pharmacokinetic parameters were as the followings, t1/2a 0.33 h, t1/2β 2.44 1% tmax 0.058 1% AUC and Cmax exhibited a linear increase along with the increase of dose. The two-compartment model fit the three dose groups. This method was sensitive, accurate and fast for the determination of concentration of PH in beagle dog plasma.

Because of their low volatility, they associate more likely to the liquid particles in the atmosphere, where they are subject to the aqueous phase oxidation by the atmospheric oxidants. In this work, through experimental and theoretical study, we first provide the rate constants of Sob and Limo-diol reacting with hydroxyl radical (.OH) in aqueous solution at room temperature of 3044-3 K and 1 atm pressure, which are (3.05±0.5)×10 9 and (4.57±0.2)×10 9 L/(mol.s), respectively. Quantum chemistry calculations have also been employed to demonstrate the solvent effect on the rate constants in aqueous phase and the calculated results agree well with the measurements. Some reaction products have been identified based on liquid chromatography combined with mass spectroscopy and theoretical calculations.展开更多

The introduction of saffron in alpine areas could help to broaden and diversify the activities of mountain multifunctional farms, with a positive impact on economy and land management. According to ISO 3632(2010/2011), saffron can be classified into three categories of quality(I, II, III) depending on the concentration of the three main metabolites responsible for its characteristic colour, flavor and aroma: Crocin, Picrocrocin and Safranal. This study represents the first investigation of the quality of saffron produced in the Italian Alps evaluated with spectrophotometry, HPLC, solid-phase microextraction(SPME), and gas chromatographic analysis combined with mass spectrometry(GC/MS). The experiments used Crocus sativus stigmas produced in 2012-2013 in different areas of the Central Italian Alps were located at an altitude between 720 and 1200 m a.s.l.. Results obtained were compared to commercial saffron. The analyses confirmed that all samples can be classified in the first quality category according to the ISO classification. This high quality is also confirmed by HPLC analysis. Moreover, the SPME-GC/MS analysis identified some differences in the aromatic profile of saffron samples, in particular regarding safranal concentration. A preliminary assessment of the economic viability of high quality saffron production for local markets was also performed. Our study provides valid information regarding the quality and economic sustainability of saffron production in the alpine area confirming this crop as a good candidate for a new source of income for multifunctional farms in mountain areas.展开更多

It has been used for the treatment of adult patients with fatty liver caused by obesity, high cholesterol and other factors. In the present study, we established an ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) method to simultaneously determine 4 saponin ingredients including Notoginsenoside R1, Ginsenoside Rbl, Ginsenoside Re and Ginsenoside Rgl present in Shugan Quzhi capsule. The chromatographic separation was conducted on ZORBAX SB-C18 (2.1 mm×50 mm, 1.8 μm). The mobile phase was composed of acetonitrile and aqueous solution consisted of 0.05% formic acid and 5 mM ammonium acetate. Gradient elution rate was 0.3 mL/min, the column temperature was 40 ℃ MS was conducted using electrospray ionisation (ESI) and multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) coupled with positive and negative scanning switch. With which, Ginsenoside Re and Ginsenoside Rgl were detected using negative ion mode detection while Notoginsenoside R1, Ginsenoside Rbl and internal standard (Ginsenoside F1) were detected using positive ion mode detection. The limits of quantification (LOQ) for Notoginsenoside R1, Ginsenoside Rbl, Ginsenoside Re and Ginsenoside Rgl were 6.54× 10-4, 2.57×104, 0.11 and 6.91 × 10-3 ng/mL, respectively. The limits of detection (LOD) for these compounds were 1.96×10-4, 7.70×10-5, 3.45× 10-2, and 2.07× 10-3 ng/mL, respectively. All calibration curves showed a good linearity (r2〉0.9633) within the test range. The intra- and inter-day precisions (relative standard deviation, RSD) were lower than 5% and the average recoveries were in the range of 80%-120%. With this method, four kinds of saponins were separated and detected in 6 min. This method is simple, rapid and shows high sensitivity and accuracy.展开更多

In the first-dimensional chromatography, the analytes were separated on a zwitterion exchange-reversed phase-hydrophitic interaction (ZIC-RP-HILIC) mixed-mode column coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). A commonly used reversed phase LC column was employed in the second-dimensional chromatography. The mobile phase for the ZIC-RP-HILIC mixed-mode chromatography consisted of a volatile buffer that was compatible with LC-MS/MS, which enhanced the efficiency of ionization for structure elucidation. The antibiotic impurities eluted in the ion-pairing reversed phase chromatography were directly characterized by the ZIC-RP-HILIC-MS system, and the orthogonal separation of ZIC-RP-HILIC mixed-mode chromatography and reversed phase LC provided extra confidence that no impurity was missed. The efficiency of this method was demonstrated in the analysis of penicillin V potassium, oxacillin sodium, ceftriaxone sodium, and their impurities. In addition, this method is convenient for impurity profiling of antibiotics, and may be used for the analysis of other pharmaceutical ingredients.展开更多

In the first-dimensional chromatography, the analytes were separated on a zwitterion exchange-reversed phase-hydrophitic interaction (ZIC-RP-HILIC) mixed-mode column coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). A commonly used reversed phase LC column was employed in the second-dimensional chromatography. The mobile phase for the ZIC-RP-HILIC mixed-mode chromatography consisted of a volatile buffer that was compatible with LC-MS/MS, which enhanced the efficiency of ionization for structure elucidation. The antibiotic impurities eluted in the ion-pairing reversed phase chromatography were directly characterized by the ZIC-RP-HILIC-MS system, and the orthogonal separation of ZIC-RP-HILIC mixed-mode chromatography and reversed phase LC provided extra confidence that no impurity was missed. The efficiency of this method was demonstrated in the analysis of penicillin V potassium, oxacillin sodium, ceftriaxone sodium, and their impurities. In addition, this method is convenient for impurity profiling of antibiotics, and may be used for the analysis of other pharmaceutical ingredients.
