This study was conducted to develop the analytical method about simultaneous determination for synthetic antimicrobials in muscle by high performance liquid chromatography - mass selective detector (HPLC- MSD). Solid phase extraction (SPE), matrix solid phase dispersion (MSPD) and liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) have been adapted as pretreatment procedures for HPLC- MSD. Among various solvent tested, methanol was chosen for extraction of synthetic antimicrobials in muscles. For the optimized response, the values of various MS parameters including fragment voltage, drying gas flow, nebulizer pressure, drying gas temperature were verified. The average recovery rates using MSPD and SPE for muscles of bovine and pork were 78.9-127.1% and 78.3-121.7%, respectively. This method was verified the satisfactory performance for fourteen synthetic antimicrobials excepting carbadox in muscle of pork as detection limit of $0.05{\mu}g/g$ on API/ES SIM mode.

A rapid, sensitive and specific liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed for the simultaneous determination of four barbiturates (phenobarbital, pentobarbital, amobarbital and secobarbital) in raw milk. The barbiturates were extracted using liquid-liquid extraction, ultrasonication and centrifugation, and purified on an SPE column. Analytes were separated by HPLC on a CSH C18 column eluted using an acetonitrile-water system with a linear gradient dilution programme, and detected by MS/MS. The recoveries of the barbiturates were 85.0-113.5%, and the intra- and inter-assay RSDs were less than 9.8% and 7.3%, respectively. The limit of detection was 5 ng/mL for all four of the barbiturates. The analytical method exhibited good linearity from 10 to 1000 ng/mL; the correlation coefficient ($r^2$) was greater than 0.9950 for each barbiturate. This method was also applied to the determination of barbiturates in real milk samples and was found to be suitable for the determination of veterinary drug residues in raw milk.

A rapid liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) assay method was developed for the determination of topotecan levels in rat serum. The assay utilized a single liquid-liquid extraction with a mixture of ethy l acetate and acetonitrile (6:1 v/v) and isocratic elution. The multiple reaction monitoring was based on the transition of m/z 422.0$\rightarrow$376.5 for topotecan and 315.1$\rightarrow$226.6 for clomipramine (internal standard). The developed assay was validated to demonstrate the specificity, recovery, lower limit of quantification (LLOQ), accuracy and precision. The assay was linear over a concentration range from 0.5-100 ng/mL, with LLOQ being 0.5 ng/mL using a small volume of rat serum (0.1 mL). The mean intra- and inter-day assay accuracy was 87.7-111.0% and 97.8-108.3, respectively, and the mean intra- and interday precision was between 1.6-4.3% and 3.8-10.3, respectively. The developed assay was applied to a pharmacokinetic study after a bolus i.v. injection of topotecan in rats.

BACKGROUND: An official analytical method was developed to determine etofenprox residues in agricultural commodities using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). METHODS AND RESULTS: The etofenprox residue was extracted with acetone from representative samples of five raw products which comprised rice grain, apple, mandarin, cabbage, and soybean. The extract was then serially purified by liquid-liquid partition and Florisil column chromatography. For rice and soybean samples, acetonitrile/n-hexane partition was additionally coupled to remove nonpolar lipids. Reversed phase HPLC using an octadecylsilyl column was successfully applied to separate etofenprox from co-extractives. Intact etofenprox was sensitively detected by ultraviolet absorption at 225 nm. Recovery experiment at the quantitation limit validated that the proposed method could apparently determine the etofenprox residue at 0.02 mg/kg. Mean recoveries from five crop samples fortified at three levels in triplicate were in the range of 93.6~106.4%. Relative standard deviations of the analytical method were all less than 10%, irrespective of crop types. A selected-ion monitoring LC/mass spectrometry with positive atmospheric-pressure chemical ionization was also provided to confirm the suspected residue. CONCLUSION(s): The proposed method is simple, rapid and sensitive enough to be employed in routine inspection or monitoring of agricultural products for the etofenprox residue.

A rapid, sensitive and selective liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (LC/MS/MS) method for the determination of eupatilin in human plasma was developed. Eupatilin and internal standard, (S)-[N-3-(4-(2-(1-methyl-5-tetrazolyl)-pyridine-5-y1)- 3-fluorophenyl)-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl acetamide (DA-7867) were extracted from human plasma by liquid-liquid extraction and analyzed on a phenyl-hexyl column with the mobile phase of acetonitrile-ammonium formate (10 mM, pH 3.0) (60:40, v/v).

Many successive liquid-liquid extractions occur enabling purification of the crude material to occur. In high performance counter-current chromatography (HPCCC), crude material is partitioned between two immiscible layers of solvent phases. The stationary phase (SP) is retained by hydrodynamic force field effect and the mobile phase (MP) is pumped through the column. Purification occurs because of the different solubility of the components in the liquid mobile and stationary phases. There are many key benefits of liquid stationary phases such as high mass and volume injection loadings, total sample recovery, and easy scale-up. Many researchers showed that predictable scale-up from simple test is feasible with knowledge of the stationary phase retention for the planned process scale run. In this review we review the recent advances in HPCCC research and also describe the key applications such as natural products and synthetics (small or large molecules).

The structures of molecular species of galactolipids, such as monogalactosyl diacylglycerol (MGDG) and digalactosyl diacylglycerol (DGDG), isolated from wheat flour have been investigated using negative-ion electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry interfaced with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). According to the result of HPLC analysis, MGDG and DGDG were found to consist of mixtures of five and four molecular species, respectively. The galactolipids have been also analyzed to determine their fatty acid compositions, using HPLC/ESI-MS combined with in-source (or cone voltage) fragmentation. HPLC/ ESI-MS is very useful for one-step analysis of mixtures of galactolipids with a small sample quantity. Especially, the carboxylate anions produced in in-source fragmentations of the negative-ion of each component separated by HPLC provide valuable information on the composition of its fatty acyl chains.

Enalapril (ENP) maleate is effective drug for the treatment of renivascular hypertension and heart failure. ENP acts as inhibitor of the enzyme angiotensin-convertase (ACE-inhibitor) and metabolized to enalaprilat (ENPT), which is the active metabolite that is really responsible for the therapeutic action. In the present study, a sensitive and rapid liquid chromatography/ electrospray ion trap tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) method combined with high-throughput solid phase extraction (SPE) has been developed and validated for the simultaneous quantitative determination of ENP and ENPT in human plasma.
