Long-chain acyl-CoA esters (LCACoAs) are activated lipid species that represent key substrates in lipid metabolism. The relationship between lipid metabolism disorders and type 2 diabetes has attracted much attention to this class of metabolites. This paper presents a highly sensitive and robust on-line LC/MS(2) procedure for quantitative determination of LCACoAs from rat liver. A fast SPE meth...

A rapid, accurate RP Levocetirizine and phenylephrine separation was achieved on column Luna 5u C18 (20mm X 4mm) using mobile phase of methanol: Pot. Dihydrogen Phosphate Buffer (pH 6.0), (70:30) .The UV detection was performed at 251nm with flow rate of 1.0 mL Phenylephrine hydrochloride was found to be 8.42 min and 2.70 min with mean recovery 100.64 & 100.40% respectively. The proposed method...

A rapid method for the determination of chondroitin sulfate in raw materials was developed. The samples were finely powdered, dissolved in water, and injected directly into the liquid chromatograph. The method used a C18 column, a wavelength of 195 nm, and a mobile phase containing octane sulfonic acid. The method gave results that were slightly different from those generated by atitrimetric me...

An uncontrolled used of antibiotics and sulphonamides is responsible for the presence of residues in beehive products and contributes to the problem of food safety. The optimisation of analytical methods for the detection of residues of antibacterial drugs (sulphonamides, SPs; tylosin, TL; streptomycin, ST) in honey was pursued and the methods applied to routine samples. ST was investigated by ...

Isocratic high-performance liquid chromatography methods are described for separating the major classes of phospholipids and for isolating the individual molecular species of phospholipids. Fractionation of a total lipid extract of rat liver on a silica column resulted in quantitative recoveries of all major phospholipids with preservation of their fatty acid composition. Rat liver phosphatidyl...

On-line automation of two different liquid chromatographic procedures, a pre-column derivatization system and a pre- and post-column system, in order to generate chemiluminescence is reported. Dansyl chloride (Dns-Cl) was used as a pre-column reagent to form fluorophores and bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl) oxalate (TCPO) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as a post-column reagent to generate chemiluminesc...

We describe a liquid-chromatographic procedure for determining nadolol in plasma. After an analog of nadolol is added as internal standard, the plasma sample is passed through a disposable BondElut C18 column. After several column washes, nadolol and the internal standard are eluted with methanol, and the eluate is evaporated and reconstituted with the mobile phase (acetonitrile/water, perchlor...

We demonstrate a liquid-chromatographic method involving post-column derivatization for determining the concentration of thiamin and its phosphate esters in human blood. Blood, erythrocytes, or plasma is deproteinized and centrifuged. Aliquots of the samples are applied to a mu Bondapak C18 column attached to a "high-performance" liquid chromatograph. Addition of potassium ferricyanide/sodium h...

A simple, precise and rapid RP-HPLC method was developed for the determination of ebastine in pharmaceutical formulations. The method was carried out on a Phenomenex RP-C18 column using a mixture of methanol and water (90:10) and detection was done at 262 nm. The linearity range was 5-100 mug/ml. The intra-day and inter-day precision were in the range of 0.22% to 0.49% and 0.24% to 0.73%, respe...

A simple, sensitive isocratic method for the detection and quantification of ciprofloxacin in plasma and urine has been developed. The assay consisted of reversed-phase HPLC with ultraviolet detection. Plasma proteins were removed by a fast and efficient procedure. For the urine samples, the only required sample preparation was dilution. Separation was achieved on a C18 reversed-phase column. T...
