An efficient direct injection/on-line guard cartridge extraction-tandem mass spectrometry (DI/GCE--MS--MS) method has been validated for high-throughput evaluation of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A2 inhibition potential using human hepatic microsomes and 96-well microtiter plates. Microsomal incubations were terminated with formic acid, centrifuged, and the resulting supernatants were injected for DI/GCE--MS--MS analysis. Due to the use of an extremely short C(18) guard cartridge, this method offers several advantages such as no sample preparation, excellent on-line extraction, short run time and minimal source contamination and performance deterioration. The DI/GCE--MS--MS method demonstrates acceptable accuracy and precision for the quantification of resorufin, a marker metabolite of ethoxyresorufin mediated by CYP1A2, in microsomal incubations. The inhibition potential of CYP1A2 has been evaluated using its selective inhibitors, alpha-naphthoflavone and furafylline. The IC(50) values (120 nM for alpha-naphthoflavone and 5.1 microM for furafylline) measured by the new method are in agreement with the literature values.

Various polarity chemicals exist in complex samples, such as plasma; nontargeted comprehensive analysis naturally requires multiple polar-extracted solvents; consequently, the polarity of the solvent plays a crucial role in the extraction efficiency of analytes from complex samples. In the present study, based on the diffusion behavior and nanoconfinement effect of solvents in the nanoconfined space, the polarity gradient solvent confinement liquid-phase nanoextraction (PGSC-NLPNE) protocol aimed to perform a one-step nontargeted analysis of a wide range of metabolites in plasma was established. The continuously wide range of extracted solvent polarities on carbon nanofibers/carbon fiber (CNFs/CF) membranes was achieved using a mixture of hexane, dichloromethane, methanol, and water as nanoconfined solvents.

Background: Rhabdomyolysis describes a syndrome characterized by muscle necrosis and the subsequent release of creatine kinase and myoglobin into the circulation. Myoglobin elimination with extracorporeal hemoadsorption has been shown to effectively remove myoglobin from the circulation. Our aim was to provide best practice consensus statements developed by the Hemoadsorption in Rhabdomyolysis Task Force (HRTF) regarding the use of hemadsorption for myoglobin elimination.

Vitamin D is a lipid-soluble compound that plays a key role in bone mineral metabolism. The commercial current kits and several published assay methods (High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and Immunoassay) are complicated due to the use of multiple reagents, larger sample volume, high backpressure, longer extraction time, evaporation under nitrogen after extraction, significant interference and antibody cross-reactivity. Here we report a new HPLC method for the determination of 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 (25-OHD2) and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25-OHD3) that is simple (no evaporation), rapid (10-minute run time) and robust.

Trifluridine (FTD) and tipiracil (TPI) hydrochloride tablets (TAS-102) were used for the treatment of patients with metastatic rectal cancer that was resistant to conventional chemotherapy drugs. In this study, a rapid and sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was developed and fully validated for the simultaneous determination of TPI, FTD, and the metabolite 5-trifluoromethyluracil (FTY) of FTD in human plasma. The plasma samples were prepared by protein precipitation.

A novel and efficient on-line microextraction on a screw coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography with an ultraviolet-visible detector was developed to extract and determine trace quantities of five opium alkaloids. All detections of the analytes were achieved at 210 nm. The surface of the screw grooves was electrochemically coated with the carbon nanotubes-COOH/polyaniline composite.
