ABSTRACT
Abstract Dasatinib, a potent oral multi-targeted kinase inhibitor against Src and Bcr-Abl, can decrease inflammatory response in sepsis. A simple and cost-effective method for determination of an effective dose dasatinib was established. This method was validated in human plasma, with the aim of reducing the number of animals used, thus, avoiding ethical problems. Dasatinib and internal standard lopinavir were extracted from 180 uL of plasma using liquid-liquid extraction with methyl tert-butil ether, followed by liquid chromatography coupled to triple quadrupole mass spectrometry in multiple reaction monitoring mode. For the pharmacokinetic study, 1 mg/kg of dasatinib was administered to mice with and without sepsis. The method was linear over the concentration range of 1-98 ng/mL for DAS in mice and human plasma, with r2>0.99 and presented intra- and interday precision within the range of 2.3 - 6.2 and 4.3 - 7.0%, respectively. Further intra- and interday accuracy was within the range of 88.2 - 105.8 and 90.6 - 101.7%, respectively. The mice with sepsis showed AUC0-t = 2076.06 h*ng/mL and Cmax =102.73 ng/mL and mice without sepsis presented AUC0-t = 2128.46 h*ng/mL. Cmax = 164.5 ng/mL. The described analytical method was successfully employed in pharmacokinetic study of DAS in mice.

An ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS) method was developed to evaluate the chemical consistency of triterpene acids in ethanol extracts of Poria and acetic ether extracts thereof. First, high resolution mass spectrometry data were obtained with Full scan mode, by comparing with MS data from the reference compounds and literatures, a total of 23 components were unequivocally or tentatively identified in ethanol extracts and acetic ether extracts thereof. Then, a mimic multiple reaction monitoring (mMRM) mode was established using UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS to quantify the triterpene acids in ethanol extracts and acetic ether extracts thereof. Eleven components were absolutely quantified with reference compounds, while 12 components without reference compounds were relatively quantified with peak areas, the transfer and enrichment rate of triterpene acids during liquid-liquid extraction were calculated. It was found all of the 23 triterpene acids identified in Poria ethanol extracts could be transferred into acetic ether extracts with high transfer and enrichment rate. The present study provides not only scientific evidence for further extraction of triterpene acids in Poria by acetic ether, but also an approach for comprehensive evaluation of the chemical consistency of herbal medicine extracts before and after the liquid-liquid extraction.

ABSTRACT
Steroid hormone, the component of the endocrine system, plays an extremely important role in body development, immune regulation, and birth control. The accurate determination of steroid hormone is important for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of clinical endocrine diseases. In recent years, the determination of endogenous steroid hormones in biological samples has become increasingly widespread in clinical applications. In this article, the commonly used analysis methods of typical blood steroids from 2013 to 2018 were generalized and compared in order to provide more reference for the accurate determination of steroid hormone levels, and also provide more accurate basis for later clinical diagnosis and treatment.
ABSTRACT
A selective, sensitive and rugged liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) assay has been developed for the simultaneous determination of doxepin (Dox) and its pharmacologically active metabolite, nordoxepin (NDox) in human plasma. The analytes and their internal standards (IS) were extracted from 500 μL of human plasma by liquid-liquid extraction using methyl tert-butyl ether. Chromatographic separation was achieved on Hypurity C8 column (100 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) using a mixture of acetonitrile-methanol (95:5, v/v) and 2.0 mM ammonium formate in 93:7 (v/v) ratio. Detection was accomplished by tandem mass spectrometry in the positive ionization and multiple reaction monitoring acquisition mode. The protonated precursor to product ion transitions studied for Dox, NDox, and their corresponding ISs, propranolol and desipramine, were m/z 280.1-107.0, 266.0 -107.0, 260.1-116.1 and 267.1-72.1, respectively. A linear dynamic range of 15.0–3900 pg/mL for Dox and 5.00– 1300 pg/mL for NDox was established with mean correlation coefficient (r2) of 0.9991 and 0.9993, respectively. The extraction recovery ranged from 86.6％–90.4％ and 88.0％–99.1％ for Dox and NDox, respectively. The intra-batch and inter-batch precision (％ CV) across quality control levels was ≤ 8.3％ for both the analytes. Stability evaluated under different storage conditions showed no evidence of degradation and the ％ change in stability samples compared to nominal concentration ranged from 4.7％ to 12.3％. The method was successfully applied to a bioequivalence study of 6 mg doxepin hydrochloride orally disintegrating tablet in 41 healthy Indian subjects under fasting and fed conditions.

ABSTRACT
This study describes the development of a rapid, selective, precise and sensitive reverse phase high-performance liquid chromatography method for the quantitative determination of Levocetirizine Dihydrochloride (LCD) in human plasma and pharmaceutical dosage form. Extraction of drug from plasma was done by employing optimized liquid-liquid extraction procedure. The sample was analyzed using Acetonitrile: Methanol: 20mM Ammonium Acetate Buffer pH-5 (25:55:20 % v/v/v) as mobile phase. Chromatographic separation was achieved on Prontosil C-18 column (4.6 x 250mm, 5μ particle size) as stationary phase using isocratic elution (at a flow rate of 1 mL/min). The peak was detected using UV-PDA detector set at 232 nm and retention time was found to be 8 min for LCD. The calibration curve obtained was linear (r2= 0.9998) over the concentration range of 2-10 μg/mL. Method was validated for precision, robustness and recovery. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) was 0.0057 and 0.174 µg/mL respectively. There was no significant difference between the amount of drug spiked in plasma and the amount recovered and plasma did not interfere in estimation. Thus, the proposed method is suitable for the analysis of LCD in tablet dosage forms and human plasma.
ABSTRACT
Abstract Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used by the general population to alleviate inflammation and pain after oral surgeries. Piroxicam is among the most commonly used NSAIDs and excels in controlling pain, swelling, trismus and other common symptoms of inflammation. This study aimed to evaluate different concentrations of piroxicam and its major metabolite, 5'-hydroxypiroxicam, in human plasma samples over time using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) after liquid-liquid extraction. Briefly, 10 volunteers participated in this study after approval by the Ethics Committee of Bauru School of Dentistry, Universidade de São Paulo - USP, Brazil. Volunteers received a single dose oral of piroxicam (20 mg) and had blood collected at various times following an established protocol. The methodology of liquid-liquid extraction was effective for determining concentrations of piroxicam in plasma using HPLC in 10 out of 10 volunteers while 5'-hydroxypiroxicam was only detected in 2 out of 10 volunteers.

An analytical procedure for the determination of water-and methanol-extractable pentachlorophenol ( PCP) in soils using vortex assisted liquid-liquid extraction ( VALLE ) and gas chromatography ( GC ) was developed. Significant extraction parameters, such as liquid-liquid ratio and vortex speed were optimized. The recovery of PCP was the highest ( 97. 4%) at the vortex rotation speed of 2000 r/min, with good reproducbility and a small relative sdandard deviation ( RSD, 0. 5%), with regard to the volume ratio of derivatization solution to n-hexane, the recovery of PCP was 103% with an RSD of 0. 7% at 10:4. The linearity of the calibration ranged from 1. 25 μg/L to 4000 μg/L, with a correlation coefficient ( R2 ) of 0. 9999. The detection limit of the PCP in water was below 0. 2 μg/L. Compared with traditional liquid-liquid extraction ( LLE) and solid phase extraction ( SPE) , the VALLE method was more simple and more economic in terms of chemical consumption, also with a recovery of 96. 8% and a RSD of 3. 7%. Four different soils were used to check the reliability of this method. The soils were respectively extracted with water once and methanol three times. The total recoveries were 89. 5%-98. 9% and 88. 7%-98. 4% at the PCP spiking level of 1 and 10 mg/kg, respectively. It is concluded that the VALLE method satisfied the extraction and determination of water and methanol extractable PCP in soils with varying PCP polluting rates.
