The mFPD normally has analyte travel through 4 ‘worker’ flames in series before entering a final ‘analytical’ flame where its emission is monitored. Here, it is found that when the analytical flame is not ignited, background luminescence is reduced over 30 times and the strong analyte chemiluminescence of the worker flames can be made to extend a large distance (~ 10 flame widths) into the analytical flame region where it is detected. This occurs for phosphorous (HPO*), quadratic sulfur (S<sub>2</sub>*), and linear sulfur (HSO*) emission. Conversely, carbon emission resides inside the worker flames and yields a small negative signal. As a result, very good selectivity over carbon is observed, and improved minimum detectable limits (MDL) of 4 pg S/s (S<sub>2</sub>*) and 0.3 pg P/s (HPO*) are obtained, which are up to 20 times lower than previous values reported for the mFPD. Further, linear sulfur (HSO*) yields an MDL of 6 pg S/s, which is over 3 times lower than values reported for other FPDs. Due to the worker flames present in this mode, other benefits of regular mFPD operation are maintained, like uniform analyte response and large quenching resistance. In application, a trace benzothiophene analyte is readily detected within a concentrated diesel fuel matrix in the flameless mFPD mode, while no response is observed in the conventional FPD mode. Results indicate that this flameless operating mode is advantageous for sulfur and phosphorous analysis.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":518,"journal":{"name":"Chromatographia","volume":"87 6","pages":"363 - 373"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140658460","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aprepitant belongs to the class of neurokinin receptor-1 receptor blockers used to treat nausea and vomiting. In the case of severe hypertension, there are the majority of predominant symptoms occurring but one such symptom is nausea and vomiting. This condition may potentially be treated by a combination of losartan and aprepitant, but there is no information about the pharmacokinetic interactions for this combination. When losartan and aprepitant are taken concomitantly there may be a chance that these two drugs may alter the pharmacokinetics of each other. Thus, the effects of both the drugs were assessed on each other. To assess the preclinical pharmacokinetic drug–drug interaction a rapid, simple, and sensitive approach for the simultaneous estimation of losartan and aprepitant in rat plasma by LC–QqQ-MS/MS has been developed and validated. The separation was done on Agilent ZORBAX Eclipse Plus C18 (4.6 mm × 100 mm, 3.5 µm) by gradient elution using 0.1% (<i>v/v</i>) formic acid in water and acetonitrile. Multiple reaction monitoring was performed using a positive ionization mode.

The method was found linear, accurate and sensitive to estimate the losartan and aprepitant in rat plasma with the lowest limit of quantification of 1 ng/mL. The pharmacokinetic parameters like half-life, <i>T</i><sub>max</sub> and the area under the curve for aprepitant have been significantly affected when administered with losartan and vice versa.

The parameters affecting the extraction were optimized by response surface methodology (RSM). The optimal extraction conditions were determined to be 15 min for contact time, 1 mg for MIL-53(Al) amount, and 0.23% (w/v) for NaCl concentration.
