Analytes and the internal standard were extracted from human plasma by solid-phase extraction technique using Oasis HLB, Oasis Max, Varian Bond Elute Plexa, Orochem cartridges. The reconstituted samples were chromatographed on a thermo hypurity Advance, 50 X 4.6mm, 5 µ by using acetonitrile and 2 mM ammonium acetate solution(80:20 v/v) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. Detection was carried out LC-MS/MS (API 3000) in negative ion mode. The calibration curves obtained were linear (R 2 -0.999) over the concentration range of 4.50- 2800.00 ng/ml for lansaprazole. The results of the intra- and inter-day precision studies were well within the acceptable limits. The overall average recoveries of analyte and IS were found to be 92.10-99.11%. The analyte were found to be stable of stability study. Developed and validated analytical method was found to be simple, rapid, specific, sensitive, precise and cost effective than reported methods.

This phenomenon, termed the gate effect, shows promise for the development of novel biomimetic sensors. However, the mechanism underlying this effect is still unclear; although the relationship between the specific adsorption of a template and the corresponding porosity and permeability of the polymeric film or membrane is very important, this association has not yet been examined in detail. We therefore studied this relationship using a molecularly imprinted self-supporting membrane (MISSM) possessing chiral specificity, specially developed as a tool for investigating the gate effect. Both the diffusive permeability and volume porosity of the MISSM were sensitive to the presence of the template compounds (D and L-phenylalanine) at concentrations as low as 5 µM, while, at the same time, insensitive to the enantiomer of the template. The relationship between the amount of adsorbed template and the equilibrium template concentration followed the expected Langmuir isotherm pattern, which indicates the thermodynamic homogeneity of binding sites in the MISSM. This study also demonstrated that the relative concentration of the adsorbed template in the membrane was only 3 ppm and relative site occupation was only 1% following exposure to a 5 µM concentration of the template. These results show that the gate effect may be advantageously exploited during application of MIPs in amplifiers or sensors offering high sensitivity. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are synthetic polymers that contain specific binding sites formed by imprinting of a target molecule (or template) during the polymerization process. An MIP layer can be prepared by a simple and economical procedure (1-3). Before such MIPs may be employed as molecular recognition elements in chemical-sensing devices, however, it is necessary to develop a means of translating specific binding events at the MIP into an electric signal. The so-called gate effect, which refers to changes in the diffusive permeability of solutes within the MIP layer resulting from specific binding at the template, can be used as a mechanism for signal transference based on conductometry, utilizing changes in the ionic permeability of the MIP membrane associated with a specific interaction with the template (4-6). In this gate analogy, the template corresponds to the key while the MIP site which allows specific rebinding with the template corresponds to the keyhole. An amperometric method is also applicable, using a thin MIP layer grafted onto an electrode, in which the template can be detected by following changes in the faradic current resulting from the change in permeability of a redox marker across the MIP layer (7-11). The gate effect is a selective process capable of discriminating between","PeriodicalId":90363,"journal":{"name":"The open analytical chemistry journal","volume":"26 1","pages":"22-29"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82269917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because method development and its optimization is very time consuming, in most cases C18 is used as standard carrier material without knowing if it possesses the highest efficiency. Therefore detailed studies with different stationary phases are necessary for optimal recovery rates. Due to the resulting high number of samples, automation is of crucial importance. In the study described, the extraction of five monoterpenoids (myrcene, citronellal, p-cymene, menthol and thymol) out of an ethanolic solution was optimized using automated SPE. An automated robotic system, the MEA Personal Purification System ® from PhyNexus™ Inc. (http://www.phynexus.com/), was adopted for high-throughput SPE. It allows the simultaneous automatic extraction of 12 samples in parallel employing different carrier materials. Additionally, critical parameters of automation (speed, volume uptake, skipping of drying step) were variegated to obtain optimal recovery rates. Furthermore, extraction efficiency was compared with manual handling to evaluate its performance. The application of 18 different SPE carrier materials, C18 Hydra, C18 ec, C8, C4, C2, C6H5, C6H11 ec, NO2, CN, NH2/C18, Diol, HR-P, EASY, PA, Florisil ® , Davisil ® , Strata-X ® and cellulose pointed out huge differences in extraction efficiency.

A specific two-component spectrophotometric method has been used for the simultaneous assay of CC and its photoproduct, hydroxocobalamin (HC), at 525 and 550 nm, without any interference from RF. The apparent first-order rate constants for the photolysis of CC in the presence of 1-5 � 10 -5 M concentrations of RF at pH 2.0- 12.0 range from 0.46 (pH 7.0) to 4.22 � 10 -3 min -1 (pH 3.5). The second-order rate constants for the bimolecular interaction of these vitamins are in the range of 8.66 (pH 7.5) to 45.20 M -1 min -1 (pH 2.0). The rate-pH profile indicates a gradual decrease in rate in the acid pH range followed by the slowest rate and maximum stability around pH 7-8. Thus the cationic form of CC is more susceptible to photolysis compared to the neutral form. The increase in rate in the alkaline region is probably due to the hydrolysis of the amide groups. The kinetic results indicate that RF acts as a sensitizer in the photolysis of CC and in this way promotes the degradation of the molecule. Thus the presence of RF in CC solutions adversely affects the stability of vitamin B12.","PeriodicalId":90363,"journal":{"name":"The open analytical chemistry journal","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85820124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The synthetic method, utilised for the preparation of the polymers, is based on co-polymerization of diacrylate esters of hydroxyphenols (catechol, resorcinol and hydroquinone) with an appropriate cross-linker followed by alkaline hydrolysis of the esters and release of the corresponding phenol. The resulting swellable materials contain cavities with adjustable size and orientation of two carboxylic groups suited for the binding of molecules with appropriate size and complementary orientation of polar groups. In contrast to conventional MIPs the synthesized polymers have selectivity not only for the phenolic templates, but also for a group of compounds with suitable orientations of polar functionalities, such as aromatic nitrogen, amino or hydroxyl groups.
