Development of a CZE-MS/MS method with dynamic pH junction sample pretreatment for analysis of kratom psychoactive alkaloids in urine.

Background: Kratom is a herbal substance belonging to the group of new psychoactive substances. It contains psychoactive indole alkaloids mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine. At low doses, they act as psychostimulants and at higher doses they mediate an opioid-like effect.

Capillary zone electrophoresis in combination with UV detection for simultaneous determination of tramadol and paracetamol in pharmaceutical and biological samples.

The aim of the present study is the development and validation of a simple method based on capillary zone electrophoresis coupled with UV detection for simultaneous determination of tramadol and paracetamol in pharmaceutical and biological samples. The background electrolyte was composed of 50 mM ammonium carbonate, which is a type of a non-conventional electrolyte system. The developed method was characterized by suitable validation parameters, such as linearity (coefficient of determination r2 0,995), selectivity or the limit of detection at the level of 0.

Capillary Electrophoresis-Mass Spectrometry with Multisegment Injection and In-Capillary Preconcentration for High-Throughput and Sensitive Determination of Therapeutic Decapeptide Triptorelin in Pharmaceutical and Biological Matrices.

A capillary electrophoresis-tandem mass spectrometry method with a multisegment injection and an in-capillary field-enhanced sample stacking for determination of therapeutic peptide triptorelin in pharmaceutical and biological matrices was developed. The CE separation conditions were optimized in order to obtain maximal separation efficiency, analytical signal intensity and stability, and minimal adsorption of the analyzed peptide onto the capillary wall (1 M formic acid-HFo, pH 1.88).
