Simultaneous Enantiomeric Separation of Carfentrazone-Ethyl Herbicide and Its Hydrolysis Metabolite Carfentrazone by Cyclodextrin Electrokinetic Chromatography. Analysis of Agrochemical Products and a Degradation Study.

ABSTRACT: The different activity and toxicity that the enantiomers of agrochemicals may have requires the development of stereoselective analytical methodologies enabling the individual determination of each enantiomer. The aim of this work was to develop the first Electrokinetic Chromatography methodology enabling the simultaneous enantiomeric separation of carfentrazone-ethyl herbicide and its hydrolysis metabolite carfentrazone. The use of an anionic cyclodextrin as chiral selector (captisol at 2.5% (w/v)) in a 25 mM acetate buffer, at a temperature of 30 °C, and an applied voltage (reverse polarity) of -30 kV, allowed the simultaneous separation of the four enantiomers of the two compounds studied in 6.8 min with enantiomeric resolutions of 5.0 for carfentrazone-ethyl and 5.1 for carfentrazone. Analytical characteristics of the developed method were evaluated and found adequate to achieve the quantitation of carfentrazone-ethyl and carfentrazone. Analysis of a commercial herbicide formulation showed the potential of the method for the quality control of these agrochemical products. Degradation studies for carfentrazone-ethyl revealed that no significant degradation took place in cleaned sand samples while a significant but not stereoselective degradation took place in soils for the whole period of time considered (seven days).

Switching Separation Migration Order by Switching Electrokinetic Regime in Electrokinetic Microsystems.

Project description:Analyte migration order is a major aspect in all migration-based analytical separations methods. Presented here is the manipulation of the migration order of microparticles in an insulator-based electrokinetic separation. Three distinct particle mixtures were studied: a binary mixture of particles with similar electrical charge and different sizes, and two tertiary mixtures of particles of distinct sizes. Each one of the particle mixtures was separated twice, the first separation was performed under low voltage (linear electrokinetic regime) and the second separation was performed under high voltage (nonlinear electrokinetic regime). Linear electrophoresis, which discriminates particles by charge, is the dominant electrokinetic effect in the linear regime; while nonlinear electrophoresis, which discriminates particles by size and shape, is the dominant electrokinetic effect in the nonlinear regime. The separation results obtained with the three particle mixtures illustrated that particle elution order can be changed by switching from the linear electrokinetic regime to the nonlinear electrokinetic regime. Also, in all cases, better separation performances in terms of separation resolution (Rs) were obtained by employing the nonlinear electrokinetic regime allowing nonlinear electrophoresis to be the discriminatory electrokinetic mechanism. These findings could be applied to analyze complex samples containing bioparticles of interest within the micron size range. This is the first report where particle elution order is altered in an iEK system.

Project description:In 2022, the International Council for Harmonisation released draft guidelines Q2(R2) and Q14, intending to specify the development and validation activities that should be carried out during the lifespan of an analytical technique addressed to assess the quality of medicinal products. In the present study, these recommendations were implemented in Capillary Electrophoresis method development for the quality control of a drug product containing trimecaine, by applying Analytical Quality by Design. According to the Analytical Target Profile, the procedure should be able to simultaneously quantify trimecaine and its four impurities, with specified analytical performances. The selected operative mode was Micellar ElectroKinetic Chromatography employing sodium dodecyl sulfate micelles supplemented with dimethyl-β-cyclodextrin, in a phosphate-borate buffer. The Knowledge Space was investigated through a screening matrix encompassing the composition of the background electrolyte and the instrumental settings. The Critical Method Attributes were identified as analysis time, efficiency, and critical resolution values. Response Surface Methodology and Monte Carlo Simulations allowed the definition of the Method Operable Design Region: 21-26 mM phosphate-borate buffer pH 9.50-9.77; 65.0 mM sodium dodecyl sulfate; 0.25-1.29% v/v n-butanol; 21-26 mM dimethyl-β-cyclodextrin; temperature, 22 °C; voltage, 23-29 kV. The method was validated and applied to ampoules drug products.

Determination of 13-cis-Retinoic Acid and Its Metabolites in Plasma by Micellar Electrokinetic Chromatography Using Cyclodextrin-Assisted Sweeping for Sample Preconcentration.

Project description:The online preconcentration technique, cyclodextrin-assisted sweeping (CD-sweeping), coupled with micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) was established to determine 13-cis-retinoic acid (13-cis-RA), all-trans-retinoic acid (all-trans-RA) and 4-oxo-13-cis-retinoic acid (4-oxo-13-cis-RA) in human plasma. A CD-sweeping buffer (45 mM borate (pH 9.2), containing 80 mM sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and 22 mM hydroxypropyl β-CD (HP-β-CD) was introduced into the capillary and, then, the sample dissolved in 70 mM borate (pH 9.2): methanol = 9:1 (v/v) was injected into capillary by pressure. The separation voltage was 23 kV. Compared to the conventional cyclodextrin-micellar electrokinetic chromatography (CD-MEKC) method, the new technique achieved 224-257-fold sensitivity enrichment of analytes. The limits of detection of 13-cis-RA, all-trans-RA were 1 ng/mL, whereas that of 4-oxo-13-cis-RA was 25 ng/mL in plasma. The linear ranges of 13-cis-RA, all-trans-RA were between 15 and 1000 ng/mL, whereas that of 4-oxo-13-cis-RA was between 75 and 1500 ng/mL. The coefficient of correlation between the concentration of analytes and peak area ratio of analytes and internal standard (2, 4-dihydroxy-benzophenone) for intra-day (n = 3) and inter-day (n = 5) analyses were both greater than 0.999. The optimized experimental conditions were successfully applied to determine 13-cis-retinoic acid and its metabolites in plasma samples from a patient during the administration of 13-cis-RA for treating acne.

Direct Enantiomeric Separation and Determination of Hexythiazox Enantiomers in Environment and Vegetable by Reverse-Phase High-Performance Liquid Chromatography.

Project description:In the present study, the direct enantiomeric separation of hexythiazox enantiomers on Lux cellulose-1, Lux cellulose-2, Lux cellulose-3, Lux cellulose-4, Lux amylose-1 and Chirapak IC chiral columns were carefully investigated by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). Acetonitrile/water and methanol/water were used as mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.8 mL·min-1. The effects of chiral stationary phase, temperature, thermodynamic parameters, mobile phase component and mobile phase ratio on hexythiazox enantiomers separation were fully evaluated. Hexythiazox enantiomers received a baseline separation on the Lux cellulose-3 column with a maximum resolution of Rs = 2.09 (methanol/water) and Rs = 2.74 (acetonitrile/water), respectively. Partial separations were achieved on other five chiral columns. Furthermore, Lux amylose-1 and Chirapak IC had no separation ability for hexythiazox enantiomers when methanol/water was used as mobile phase. Temperature study indicated that the capacity factor (k) and resolution factor (Rs) decreased with column temperature increasing from 10 °C to 40 °C. The enthalpy (?H) and entropy (?S) involved in hexythiazox separation were also calculated and demonstrated the lower temperature contributed to better separation resolution. Moreover, the residue analytical method for hexythiazox enantiomers in the environment (soil and water) and vegetable (cucumber, cabbage and tomato) were also established with reliable accuracy and precision under reverse-phase HPLC condition. Such results provided a baseline separation method for hexythiazox enantiomers under reverse-phase conditions and contributed to an environmental and health risk assessment of hexythiazox at enantiomer level.

Acid- and Base-Mediated Hydrolysis of Dichloroacetamide Herbicide Safeners.

Project description:Safeners are used extensively in commercial herbicide formulations. Although safeners are regulated as inert ingredients, some of their transformation products have enhanced biological activity. Here, to fill gaps in our understanding of safener environmental fate, we determined rate constants and transformation products associated with the acid- and base-mediated hydrolysis of dichloroacetamide safeners AD-67, benoxacor, dichlormid, and furilazole. Second-order rate constants for acid- (HCl) and base-mediated (NaOH) dichloroacetamide hydrolysis (2.8 × 10-3 to 0.46 and 0.3-500 M-1 h-1, respectively) were, in many cases (5 of 8), greater than those reported for their chloroacetamide herbicide co-formulants. In particular, the rate constant for base-mediated hydrolysis of benoxacor was 2 orders of magnitude greater than that of its active ingredient co-formulant, S-metolachlor. At circumneutral pH, only benoxacor underwent appreciable hydrolysis (5.3 × 10-4 h-1), and under high-pH conditions representative of lime-soda softening, benoxacor's half-life was 13 h─a timescale consistent with partial transformation during water treatment. Based on Orbitrap LC-MS/MS analysis of dichloroacetamide hydrolysis product mixtures, we propose structures for major products and three distinct mechanistic pathways that depend on the system pH and compound structure. These include base-mediated amide cleavage, acid-mediated amide cleavage, and acid-mediated oxazolidine ring opening. Collectively, this work will help to identify systems in which hydrolysis contributes to the transformation of dichloroacetamides, while also highlighting important differences in the reactivity of dichloroacetamides and their active chloroacetamide co-formulants.

Identification of PCR products using PNA amphiphiles in micellar electrokinetic chromatography.

Project description:We present a method to identify single-stranded PCR products of varying lengths by hybridization of n-alkylated peptide nucleic acids (PNA amphiphiles) to the products, followed by separation with micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC). These end-attached PNA amphiphiles (PNAA) partition to nonionic micelles in the running buffer (Triton X-100), linking the tagged DNA to the micellar drag-tag. This linkage shifts the electrophoretic mobility of a tagged component away from both untagged DNA and tagged DNA of different lengths. The mobility of the tagged DNA is established by its extent of partitioning to the micelle phase as well as its size relative to the attached micelle. A model is presented that can be used to determine the length of an unknown oligomer given an experimentally obtained mobility. We find that the collective action of micelles that transiently attach to the tagged DNA impart about the same hydrodynamic drag as covalently bound "drag-tags" of a similar size. With the use of the PNAA-MEKC method, PCR products of 88, 134, 216, and 447 bases are clearly resolved in less than 5 min. To our knowledge, this work represents the first use of surfactant micelles as drag-tags to separate DNA in capillary electrophoresis. Furthermore, the PNAA tag only attaches to DNA containing a target sequence, helping ensure that only the desired PCR products are analyzed.

Distinguishing enantiomeric amino acids with chiral cyclodextrin adducts and structures for lossless ion manipulations.

Project description:Enantiomeric molecular evaluations remain an enormous challenge for current analytical techniques. To date, derivatization strategies and long separation times are generally required in these studies, and the development and implementation of new approaches are needed to increase speed and distinguish currently unresolvable compounds. Herein, we describe a method using chiral cyclodextrin adducts and structures for lossless ion manipulations (SLIM) and serpentine ultralong path with extended routing (SUPER) ion mobility (IM) to achieve rapid, high resolution separations of d and l enantiomeric amino acids. In the analyses, a chiral cyclodextrin is added to each sample. Two cyclodextrins were found to complex each amino acid molecule (i.e. potentially sandwiching the amino acid in their cavities) and forming host-guest noncovalent complexes that were distinct for each d and l amino acid pair studied and thus separable with IM in SLIM devices. The SLIM was also used to accumulate much larger ion populations than previously feasible for evaluation and therefore allow enantiomeric measurements of higher sensitivity, with gains in resolution from our ultralong path separation capabilities, than previously reported by any other IM-based approach.

Micellar electrokinetic chromatography method for measuring amino acid secretions from islets of Langerhans.

Project description:Islets of Langerhans are responsible for maintaining glucose homeostasis through regulated secretion of hormones and other factors. It is hypothesized that amino acids secreted from islets play a critical role in cell functionality and viability. For example, glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric acid have been proposed to work as paracrine signaling molecules within islets to coordinate the release of hormone secretion; other amino acids, such as glutamine, leucine, alanine, and arginine, have been shown to stimulate or potentiate glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. To characterize the potential roles that these small molecules may play in islet physiology, derivatization of amino acids in high-salt buffers commonly used in islet experiments with naphthalene-2,3-dicarboxaldehyde and MEKC separation conditions were optimized. The optimized conditions used d-norvaline as the internal standard and allowed quantification of 14 amino acids with LODs ranging from 0.2 to 7 nM. The RSDs of the migration times were 0.04-0.54% and the RSDs of the peak areas were 0.2-5.8% for the various amino acids. The effects of glucose and 2,4-dinitrophenol on amino acid secretions from islets were tested and a suppressive effect of glucose on gamma-aminobutyric acid release was observed, likely acting through adenosine triphosphate inactivation of glutamate decarboxylase.

Development of an enantioselective assay for simultaneous separation of venlafaxine and O-desmethylvenlafaxine by micellar electrokinetic chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry: Application to the analysis of drug-drug interaction.

Project description:To-date, there has been no effective chiral capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) method reported for the simultaneous enantioseparation of the antidepressant drug, venlafaxine (VX) and its structurally-similar major metabolite, O-desmethylvenlafaxine (O-DVX). This is mainly due to the difficulty of identifying MS compatible chiral selector, which could provide both high enantioselectivity and sensitive MS detection. In this work, poly-sodium N-undecenoyl-L,L-leucylalaninate (poly-L,L-SULA) was employed as a chiral selector after screening several dipeptide polymeric chiral surfactants. Baseline separation of both O-DVX and VX enantiomers was achieved in 15 min after optimizing the buffer pH, poly-L,L-SULA concentration, nebulizer pressure and separation voltage. Calibration curves in spiked plasma (recoveries higher than 80%) were linear over the concentration range 150-5000 ng/mL for both VX and O-DVX. The limit of detection (LOD) was found to be as low as 30 ng/mL and 21 ng/mL for O-DVX and VX, respectively. This method was successfully applied to measure the plasma concentrations of human volunteers receiving VX or O-DVX orally when co-administered without and with indinivar therapy. The results suggest that micellar electrokinetic chromatography electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (MEKC-ESI-MS/MS) is an effective low cost alternative technique for the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics studies of both O-DVX and VX enantiomers. The technique has potential to identify drug-drug interaction involving VX and O-DVX enantiomers while administering indinivar therapy.

Two-dimensional high performance liquid chromatography separation and tandem mass spectrometry detection of atrazine and its metabolic and hydrolysis products in urine.

Project description:Atrazine [6-chloro-N-ethyl-N'-(1-methylethyl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine] is the most widely used herbicide in the United States. In recent years, there has been controversy about atrazine's potential endocrine/reproductive and neurological adverse effects in wildlife and humans. The controversy triggered several environmental and epidemiologic studies, and it generated needs for sensitive and selective analytical methods for the quantification of atrazine, atrazine metabolites, and degradation or hydrolysis products. We developed a two-dimensional high performance liquid chromatography (2D-HPLC) method with isotope dilution tandem mass spectrometry detection to measure atrazine in urine, along with 11 atrazine metabolites and hydrolysis products, including 6-chloro (Cl), 6-mercapto (Mer) and 6-hydroxy (OH) derivatives, and their desethyl, desisopropyl and diamino atrazine analogs (DEA, DIA and DAA, respectively). The 2D-HPLC system incorporated strong cation exchange and reversed phase separation modes. This versatile approach can be used for the quantitative determination of all 12 compounds in experimental animals for toxicological studies. The method requires only 10 μL of urine, and the limits of detection (LODs) range from 10 to 50 μg/L. The method can also be applied to assess atrazine exposure in occupational settings by measurement of 6-Cl and 6-Mer analogs, which requires only 100 μL of urine with LODs of 1-5 μg/L. Finally, in combination with automated off-line solid phase extraction before 2D-HPLC, the method can also be applied in non-occupational environmental exposure studies for the determination of -6-Cl and 6-Mer metabolites, using 500 μL of urine and LODs of 0.1-0.5 μg/L.
