ABSTRACT

In the present study, a comprehensive and sensitive method for simultaneous determination of 21 PIs (nine benzophenones, eight amine co-initiators, and four thioxanthones) in human plasma using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry was developed and validated. Two different pre-treatment approaches (liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) and LLE coupled with solid-phase extraction (SPE)) and eight extraction solvents were studied to optimize sample treatment to obtain good recoveries and reduce any matrix effects. The procedure of LLE+SPE was selected as final sample treatment procedure because it obtained higher recoveries as well as lower matrix effects than that performed by LLE alone. The recoveries of 21 target analytes at three spiked concentrations (0.05, 0.5, and 5 ng/mL) ranged from 81% to 109%. The intra- and inter-day relative standard deviations were between 2.5% and 13%. Accuracy and precision data indicated that the detection method was accurate and precise for most of the PIs. The linearities of the labeled dilution calibration curves at 10 concentration levels (iLOQ to 100 ng/mL or iLOQ to 200 ng/mL) were good with correlation coefficients ranged from 0.995 to 0.999. The method quantification limits were in the range of 1.7-16 pg/mL. The analytical method was applied to the analysis of PIs in 14 human plasma samples collected from pregnant women in Guangdong Province, China. Fifteen PIs were detected with total concentrations ranging from 318 to 2772 pg/mL. The ubiquitous contamination of human plasma with PIs suggests that there is widespread exposure to these compounds. Consequently, there should be increased awareness of these pollutants in the environment.

ABSTRACT

Quantum chemical methods have been employed to study the photophysics of thioxanthone in vacuum and various solvents. Structurally, the solvation leads to a lengthening of the carbonyl bond, whereas the benzene skeleton is mostly unaffected. This is mirrored by the larger blue shift of the (n(O)π*) states as compared to the red shift which the (ππ*) states undergo. For a proper understanding of the radiative and radiationless processes occurring, the excitation energy profile along a linearly interpolated path has been determined in various cases. The interesting interplay of excited states thus revealed, has been investigated to qualitatively suggest the relaxation pathways available (or dominant) in the cases under study. Rates for these processes have also been computed wherever possible.

ABSTRACT

Five acidic calix[4]arenes with carboxylic or sulfonic groups at either the upper or lower rim of the cavity and one resorc[4]arene were investigated to separate three thioxanthenes (flupentixol, clopenthixol, chlorprothixene) and a dibenz[b,e]oxepin derivative (doxepin) with cis-/trans-isomerism by nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis (NACE). Partial filling of the capillary with the UV-absorbing selectors led to a low detection limit and an advantageous signal-to-noise ratio (S/N). A sufficient electrophoretic mobility of the calixarenes towards the anode was necessary to outweigh the oppositely directed electroosmotic flow (EOF). This depended from the functional groups, the dissociation and the hydrodynamic radius of the cyclophanes. In contrast, the resorcinarene was useable only by addition of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) because only the complex of the two selectors had an anodic apparent electrophoretic mobility. p-Sulfonyl-calix[4]arene (ss-a1) was the most capable selector for all E/Z-isomers with maximal alpha-values ranging from 1.056 for doxepin to 1.224 for chlorprothixene. This was due to the sufficient migration in reversed direction to the EOF even at low pH* values of 3.0. Otherwise, electrostatic as well as hydrophobic interactions with the positively charged isomers seem to contribute to a superior recognition. Increasing the concentration up to 15 mM ss-a1 and using acidic media (pH* 5.0) led to high separation efficiency. Changing the organic solvent provides a powerful tool to improve selectivity with N,N-dimethylformamide-methanol (DMF-MeOH)-mixtures for thioxanthenes. Further electrophoretic parameters were optimized, such as the concentration of the electrolytes, the addition of SDS, the kind of electrolytes and the voltage. Distinct differences in selectivities were found between the derivatives with thioxanthene and dibenzo[b,e]oxepin ring system, respectively. Further, the different basic side chain was responsible for the different selectivity at higher pH* values. In contrast, the substitution at position 2 of the thioxanthenes played a secondary role. Based on the studies of single parameters a method for a simultaneous separation of the four pairs of isomers within 13 min was developed.

ABSTRACT

The chromatographic behavior of six calix[n]arene phases (n=4, 6, 8) and one calix[4]resorcinarene phase is described for the separation of cis- and trans-isomers of three thioxanthene (flupentixol, clopenthixol, chlorprothixene) and one benz[b,e]oxepin derivative (doxepin). The influences of two different organic modifiers (MeOH, MeCN) for the separation of the isomers on every column are described. Different selectivities of the stationary phases exist as a function of the ring size of the calixarenes and their substitution at the "upper rim" with p-tert.-butyl groups. Furthermore, the influence of free phenol groups on the resorcinarene phase is discussed. Relations between structural elements of the analytes and the retention behavior on the stationary phases are found. The selectivity of the calixarene and resorcinarene stationary phases is compared with a RP-C18 phase containing the same base silica. Advantages of the resorcinarene as well as of the calixarene columns exist for the separation of cis- and trans-isomers of three compounds dependent from the substitution in position 2 of the thioxanthenes, respectively the kind of the basic side chain of all substances.
