Sample pretreatment using solid-phase extraction (SPE) on cartridges filled with small-particle Styrosorb porous polystyrene-based sorbent has been used in the analysis of propranolol enantiomers in human serum by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescent detection. SPE on Sep-Pak C18 cartridges was used as a reference pretreatment method. The propranolol content of the samples was determined by achiral normal-phase HPLC and the enantiomeric ratio of propranolol (S/R) was then determined by chiral HPLC on a column with silica-bonded cellulose-tris(3,5-dimethylphenyl carbamate). Recoveries of propranolol from serum using SPE on Styrosorb and C18 phases were 97 +/- 5% and 96 +/- 5%, respectively. Detection and quantification limits for propranolol enantiomers were 4 and 7 ng/ml, respectively.

: Subarachnoid hemorrhage is a serious condition caused by ruptured intracranial aneurysms, resulting in severe disability mainly in young adults. Cerebral vasospasm is one of the most common complication of subarachnoid hemorrhage; thus, active prevention is key to improve the prognosis. The glycosylation of proteins is a critical quality attribute which is reportedly altered in patients diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke.

The Glycosylation of Serum IgG Antibodies in Post-COVID-19 and Post-Vaccination Patients.

Int J Mol Sci

January 2025

Institute of Chemistry, Faculty of Materials and Chemical Engineering, University of Miskolc, 3515 Miskolc, Hungary.

The signature of human serum IgG glycosylation is critical in the defense against pathogens. Alterations of IgG N-glycome were associated with COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease 2019) severity, although knowledge on the response to vaccination is limited. IgG N-glycome was analyzed in this study in post-COVID-19 and post-vaccination patients to reveal potential glycosylation-based alterations using hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC-UPLC) with fluorescence (FLR) and mass-spectrometric (MS) detection.
