Reduced bioavailability of oral amoxicillin tablets compared to suspensions in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass bariatric subjects.

Aims: To evaluate the relative bioavailability of oral amoxicillin (AMX) tablets in comparison to AMX suspension in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass bariatric subjects.

Methods: A randomized, double-blind, cross-over study was performed on the bioavailability of oral AMX tablets and suspension in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass subjects operated at least 3 months previously . Doses of 875 mg of the AMX tablet or 800 mg of the AMX suspension were given to all the subjects, allowing a washout of 7 days between the periods.

Determination of acrylamide in brewed coffee by dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) and ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS).

This work has proposed the application of optimized dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) in order to extract acrylamide from brewed coffee samples for its subsequent determination by ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). DLLME achieved superior results employing 300 μL of brewed coffee, 100 μL of dichloromethane, 400 μL of acetonitrile and without sodium chloride addition. Quantitative analyses were carried out by the standard addition method, and the limits of detection and quantification were 0.
