ABSTRACT

A novel carbon nanocomposite paste electrode was prepared and used as a voltammetric sensor for ultratrace determination of trimipramine (TRI) which currently used for the treatment of psychiatric disorders. For this aim, nanoparticles of molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP), synthesized by precipitation polymerization method, and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were embedded in a nanocomposite paste electrode. The nanocomposite mixing style demonstrated a significant influence on the final electrode performance. The sensor exhibited linear response range of 1.0 × 10-10-2.5 × 10-8 mol L-1 and very high sensitivity of 2131 µA µâ€¯mol L-1. The lower detection limit of the sensor was calculated to be 4.5 × 10-11 mol L-1 (S/N = 3). This sensor was applied successfully for highly selective determination of TRI in pharmaceutical formulations, urine and serum samples without applying any sample pretreatment.

ABSTRACT

An Amberlite XAD-2 (XAD2) and titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TNPs) modified glassy carbon paste electrode (XAD2-TNP-GCPE) was developed for the determination of imipramine (IMI), trimipramine (TRI) and desipramine (DES). The electrochemical behavior of these molecules was investigated employing cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronocoulometry (CC), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and adsorptive stripping differential pulse voltammetry (AdSDPV). After optimization of analytical conditions using a XAD2-TNP-GCPE electrode at pH 6.0 phosphate buffer (0.1 M), the peak currents were found to vary linearly with its concentration in the range of 1.30 × 10(-9) to 6.23 × 10(-6) M for IMI, 1.16 × 10(-9) to 6.87 × 10(-6) M for TRI and 1.43 × 10(-9) to 5.68 × 10(-6) M for DES. The detection limits (S/N = 3) of 3.93 × 10(-10), 3.51 × 10(-10) and 4.35 × 10(-10) M were obtained for IMI, TRI and DES respectively using AdSDPV. The prepared modified electrode showed several advantages such as a simple preparation method, high sensitivity, very low detection limits and excellent reproducibility. The proposed method was employed for the determination of IMI, TRI and DES in pharmaceutical formulations, blood serum and urine samples.

ABSTRACT

A sensitive, simple and reproducible method was developed for preconcentration and determination of trimipramine (TPM) enantiomers in biological samples using electromembrane extraction combined with cyclodextrin-modified capillary electrophoresis (CE). During the extraction, TPM enantiomers migrated from a 5 mL sample solution through a thin layer of 2-nitrophenyl octyl ether NPOE immobilized in the pores of a hollow fiber, and into a 20 µL acidic aqueous acceptor phase presented inside the lumen of the fiber. A Box-Behnken design and the response surface methodology (RSM) were used for the optimization of different variables on extraction efficiency. Optimized extraction conditions were: NPOE as supported liquid membrane, inter-electrode distance of 5 mm, stirring rate of 1000 rpm, 51 V potential difference, 34 min as the extraction time, acceptor phase pH 1.0 and donor phase pH 4.5. Then, the extract was analyzed using optimized cyclodextrin (CD)-modified CE method for the separation of TPM enantiomers. Best results were achieved using 100 mM phosphate running buffer (pH 2.0) containing 10 mM α-CD as the chiral selector, applied voltage of 18 kV and 20°C. The range of quantitation for both enantiomers was 20-500 ng/mL. The method was very reproducible so that intra- and interday RSDs (n=6) were <6%. The limits of quantitation and detection for both enantiomers were 20 and 7 ng/mL, respectively. Finally, this method was successfully applied to determine the concentration of TPM enantiomers in plasma and urine samples without any pre-treatment.

ABSTRACT

The tricyclic antidepressants (TCA) imipramine (Imi) and trimipramine (Tri) were successfully analyzed by capillary electrophoresis (CE) coupling with Tris(2,2-bipyridyl) ruthenium(II)-based (Ru(bpy)(3)(2+)) end-column electrochemiluminescence (ECL) detection. The addition of ß-CD to the running buffer was found to enable baseline separation of the two analytes and the addition of acetonitrile (ACN) as an organic additive to improve the repeatability and sensitivity of the CE method. Under the optimized separation and detection conditions (50mM PBS (pH=7.0) and 2mM Ru(bpy)(3)(2+) in the ECL detection cell, 20 mM Tris (pH=2.0), 0.2 mM ß-CD and 20% ACN (v/v) as running buffer), wide linear ranges of 0.1-5 µM and 0.1-5 µM were achieved, with the correlation coefficients of 0.9990 (n=8) and 0.9980 (n=8) for Imi and Tri, respectively. Detection limits 5 nM and 1 nM (S/N=3) were obtained for Imi and Tri, respectively. The method was also successfully applied for the determination of Imi in pharmaceutical dosage form.

ABSTRACT

In this work an automated multicommutated flow methodology was implemented for the spectrophotometric determination of trimipramine in pharmaceutical preparations by oxidation with ammonium monovanadate in acidic medium. The developed procedure exploits a new approach for sample/reagent intermixing by combining binary sampling with flow-reversal. Rather than inserting the sample as a single continuous volume the intercalation of multiple small sample and reagent aliquots, under a time-based control, created multiple reaction interfaces that promoted reaction zone homogenisation even in limited dispersion conditions. Additionally, the reaction interfaces were reversed, increasing mutual zone penetration, which contributed to a faster reaction development while assuring a low dispersion pattern. A linear range of determination was verified for trimipramine concentrations between 1.0 and 18.0 microg ml(-1) with a relative standard deviation (n=10) lower than 1.69% and a sample throughput of about 26 samples per hour. The results were in agreement with those obtained by the reference procedure with relative deviations lower then 2.37%.

ABSTRACT

Calliphora vicina larvae were fed on drug-laden muscle from three suicides involving amitriptyline, temazepam and a combination of trazodone and trimipramine; triplicate daily harvestings were analysed. The limit of detection for all four drugs was 0.01 micrograms drug/g larvae. Mean drug concentrations (microgram/g) in the initial muscle were:amitriptyline, 2.68; temazepam, 4.04; trazodone, 21.56; and trimipramine, 19.58. Larval rearings for days 4-8 (15 larval samples per drug) had mean and ranges of drug concentrations (microgram/g) of 0.10 (r, 0.02-0.24) for amitriptyline; 0.52 (r, 0.26-0.78) for temazepam; 0.13 (r, 0.05-0.32) for trazodone; and 0.28 (r, 0.10-0.59) for trimipramine. After day 8 there was a precipitous fall in larval drug concentrations associated with pupariation. At day 11 ranges of drug concentrations (microgram/g) were: amitriptyline, < 0.01-0.01; temazepam, 0.01-0.08; trazodone, < 0.01-0.01; and trimipramine, 0.04-0.04. Day 16 pupae had corresponding ranges (microgram/g) of < 0.01, 0.01-0.01, < 0.01 and < 0.01-0.02. Transfer to drug-free food at day 5 led to similar falls in drug concentrations (microgram/g) from day 5 to day 6: 0.08-0.03 for amitriptyline, 0.61-0.09 for temazepam, 0.13-0.01 for trazodone, and 0.30-0.02 for trimipramine. The results show considerable variation in larval drug concentrations, both at the same developmental stage and at different stages of the life cycle, under conditions which closely reflect case situations. In practice, the precipitous decrease in drug concentrations in non-feeding larvae and at pupariation make it desirable to sample only larvae actively feeding on a corpse.
