A technique is presented for the specific and sensitive determination of ethambutol concentrations in plasma, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), and alveolar cells (AC) using a high-pressure liquid chromatographic (HPLC)-tandem mass spectrometric (MS-MS) method. The preparation of samples requires a deproteinization step with acetonitrile. The retention times for ethambutol, neostigmine bromide, and propranolol are 2.0, 1.4, and 1.1 min, respectively, with a total run time of 2.8 min. The detection limits for ethambutol are 0.05 microg/mL for plasma and 0.005 microg/mL for the BAL supernatants and AC suspensions. The assay has excellent performance characteristics and has been used to support a study of the intrapulmonary pharmacokinetics of ethambutol in human subjects.

Dynamic high-pressure microfluidization (DHPM) is an emerging treatment technology and has been widely used for the recovery of natural polysaccharides. The aim of the present contribution is to discuss the DHPM-assisted extraction and processing of polysaccharides from some foods and by-products by reviewing the instrument and working principle, procedures, key parameters, and effects of DHPM on the structures, food properties, and bioactivities of resulting polysaccharides. It was found that a DHPM instrument with Z-type chamber is preferable for extracting polysaccharides, and a DHPM with Y-type chamber is applicable for processing polysaccharides.

Background: Developing analytical methods for Traditional Medicine products by liquid chromatography is challenging due to their chemical complexity and the lack of analytical standards for numerous, unidentified constituents. Regulatory agencies recommend chromatographic fingerprint analysis for quality evaluation, relying on peak detection to ensure resolution. Conventional modelling struggles to optimise experimental conditions for such complex samples.
