ABSTRACT

A novel capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) with ultraviolet detection method has been developed and validated for the analysis of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and phencyclidine (PCP) in human urine. The separation of these three analytes has been achieved in less than 8 min in a 72-cm effective length capillary with 50-µm internal diameter. 100 mM NaH(2)PO(4)/Na(2)HPO(4), pH 6.0 has been employed as running buffer, and the separation has been carried out at temperature and voltage of 20°C, and 25kV, respectively. The three drugs have been detected at 205 nm. Field amplified sample injection (FASI) has been employed for on-line sample preconcentration. FASI basically consists in a mismatch between the electric conductivity of the sample and that of the running buffer and it is achieved by electrokinetically injecting the sample diluted in a solvent of lower conductivity than that of the carrier electrolyte. Ultrapure water resulted to be the better sample solvent to reach the greatest enhancement factor. Injection voltage and time have been optimized to 5 kV and 20s, respectively. The irreproducibility associated to electrokinetic injection has been correcting by using tetracaine as internal standard. Dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) has been employed as sample treatment using experimental design and response surface methodology for the optimization of critical variables. Linear responses were found for MDMA, PCP and LSD in presence of urine matrix between 10.0 and 100 ng/mL approximately, and LODs of 1.00, 4.50, and 4.40 ng/mL were calculated for MDMA, PCP and LSD, respectively. The method has been successfully applied to the analysis of the three drugs of interest in human urine with satisfactory recovery percentages.

ABSTRACT

A confirmatory method for the determination of illicit drugs based on micro-solid phase extraction with modified tips, made of a functionalized fiberglass with apolar chains of octadecylsilane into monolithic structure, has been developed in this study. Drugs belonging to different chemical classes, such as amphetamine, methamphetamine, methylenedioxyamphetamine, methylenedioxyethylamphetamine, methylenedioxymethylamphetamine, cocaine, benzoylecgonine, ketamine, mescaline, phencyclidine and psilocybine were analyzed. The quantitation was performed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and the analytes were detected in positive ionization by means of an electrospray source. The limits of quantification ranged between 0.3 ng mL(-1) for cocaine and 4.9 ng mL(-1) for psilocybine, with coefficients of determination (r(2)) >0.99 for all the analytes as recommended in the guidelines of Society of Forensic Toxicologists-American Association Forensic Sciences.

ABSTRACT

Cyclodextrin-mediated capillary electrophoresis has been developed for separation and analysis of chlorinated as well as substituted phenolic compounds. The procedure used a negatively charged sulfobutylether-beta-cyclodextrin (SB-betaCD) to effect differential partitioning of the phenols between the buffer and CD phases. In 50 mM phosphate buffer containing as low as 1 mM SB-betaCD, 25 phenolic compounds including 11 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) priority phenols were separated with theoretical plate numbers well above 100,000, for 50 cm of effective length in most cases. An equilibrium complexation model was used for investigating the effect of pH as well as different cyclodextrin concentrations on the electrophoretic mobility. The cyclodextrin-mediated capillary electrophoresis system was also applicable for separating and quantifying the level of pentachlorophenol in contaminated soil samples.

ABSTRACT

The direct optical resolution of the vesicular acetylcholine uptake inhibitors vesamicol and benzovesamicol and nine benzovesamicol analogues were performed by HPLC on a commercially available cellulose tris(3,5-di-methylphenyl carbamate) chiral stationary phase. Separation of each enantiomeric pair was optimized with respect to solvent strength and flow-rate, using mobile phase mixtures of hexane-2-propanol-diethylamine. The method has been successfully applied to the analysis of the optical purity of benzovesamicol intermediates and products, including (-)-5-[123I]iodobenzovesamicol which is currently undergoing clinical evaluation as a tracer for mapping central cholinergic neurons, and the purification of both antipodes of (+/-)-7-[125I]iodobenzovesamicol.

ABSTRACT

A rapid, sensitive and selective analytical procedure for phencyclidine and one of its metabolites in urine has bee developed. Three techniques have been studied for extraction of the drug from the biological matrix: (a) reversed-phase XAD resin, (b) charcoal absorption, and (c) solvent extraction using chloroform. Temperature-programmed gas chromatography was used to quantitate the illicit drug. Solvent extraction appears to offer the most efficient separation of the drug and its metabolite, as the recovery was 94% and the technique required only 7-8 min per sample. Reversedphase column extraction is also quite useful; although more time-consuming for an indivisual sample, it would be useful for screening purposes.
