A single-column procedure on Bond Elut Certify for systematic toxicological analysis of drugs in plasma and urine.

A single-column solid-phase extraction procedure was developed for the screening of acidic, neutral, and basic drugs from plasma. The recoveries of all 25 tested drugs exceeded 82%. After the plasma had been diluted with phosphate buffer (pH 6.0), the drugs were extracted using a single Bond Elut Certify column. The acidic and most of the neutral drugs were eluted by acetone/chloroform (1:1) and the basic drugs were eluted by 2% ammoniated ethyl acetate. Some neutral drugs appeared in both fractions. The two fractions were collected separately and evaporated until approximately 100 microL of solvent remained in the tube. Both fractions were analyzed separately on a gas chromatograph equipped with a wide-bore capillary column and a flame ionization detector. The procedure could also be used for urine samples.

Rapid isolation with Sep-Pak C18 cartridges and capillary gas chromatography of triazine herbicides in human body fluids.

A simple and rapid method, for the isolation of eight triazine herbicides from human serum and urine, using Sep-Pak C18 cartridges is presented. After mixing with distilled water, serum and urine samples containing the herbicides, were loaded on Sep-Pak C18 cartridges and eluted with either chloroform only or chloroform/methanol (9:1). The herbicides were detected by capillary gas chromatography with both flame ionization detection (FID) and nitrogen-phosphorus detection (NPD). Separation of eight triazine herbicides from each other and from impurities was generally satisfactory with the use of a non-polar DB-1 capillary column. Recovery of most compounds was excellent for both chloroform and chloroform/methanol (9:1) as elution solvents. Backgrounds were cleaner and evaporation time was shorter for the chloroform only than for the chloroform/methanol (9:1). The NPD gave sensitivity more than 10-20 times higher than that of FID.     

Determination of benzodiazepines in human hair by on-line high-performance liquid chromatography using a restricted access extraction column.

A method is described for the identification of five frequently prescribed benzodiazepines (BZD) (clonazepam, diazepam, flunitrazepam, midazolam and oxazepam) in human hair samples by reversed phase HPLC, following on-line simple enrichment and clean-up on a restricted access extraction column. 50mg of powdered hair were incubated (2h at 45 degrees C) after sonication (1h) in 1 ml of the following solution (methanol:ammonia, 97.5/2.5, v/v). The aliquot was centrifuged and the methanolic phase transferred to a conical tube and evaporated under a gentle stream of nitrogen. The residue was reconstituted by adding 100 microl of a mixture of phosphate buffer (20mM, pH=2.2) and acetonitrile (94/6, v/v). A total of 80 microl were injected into the system with the column switching technique. The pre-column or clean-up column was washed with phosphate buffer pH=7.2. The drugs retained on the pre-column were then eluted in the back-flush mode and separated on a C(8) semi micro column, Lichrospher select B, 125 mm x 3 mm. The BZD were determined by a photodiode-array detector at 254 nm, using reference data (retention time and UV spectra) stored in a personal library. The method showed excellent linearity between 0.5 and 20 ng/mg of hair for clonazepam, flunitrazepam and midazolam and between 0.5 and 100 ng/mg of hair for diazepam and oxazepam. Finally, the present method has been applied to a number of forensic cases in our laboratory.     

Rapid isolation of some antiepileptic hydantoins and their analogues with Sep-Pak C18 cartridges and capillary gas chromatography with splitless injection

A simple and rapid method for isolation of seven antiepileptics (2 hydantoin, 2 oxazolidin, and 3 suximide derivatives) from urine and plasma is presented. Urine and plasma (1 ml) samples containing seven antiepileptics were mixed with distilled water (4 ml), and the sample solution was poured into a pretreated Sep-Pak C18 cartridge; this was washed with water and chloroform/methanol was passed through it to elute the antiepileptics. The eluate was mixed with isoamyl acetate and evaporated under a stream of N2. The drugs were detected by gas chromatography with fused silica capillary columns, splitless injection and flame ionization detection. Separation of the seven antiepileptics from each other and from impurities was satisfactory with the use of an SPB-1 capillary column. The detection limit for the seven antiepileptics with the present method was 0.1-1.0 microgram/ml urine or plasma. The recovery of the drugs from urine and plasma was more than 70% and 50%, respectively.     

Detection of drugs using XAD-2 resin. III:A routine screening procedure for bile

The ability of bile to concentrate drugs and metabolites coupled with its general availability make it suitable for analysis and often the fluid of choice in postmorten cases requiring drug screening. Bile (5 to 10 ml) was diluted with water, sulfuric acid was added, and the mixture was autoclaved. The precipitated bile salts were easily removed by filtration and the filtrate (pH adjusted to 8.0 to 8.5) extracted with XAD-2 resin. Drugs were eluted with a mixture of ethyl acetate/1,2-dichloroethane and analyzed with thin-layer chromatography. Varying the dilution of bile improved the recovery of morphine, codeine, methadone, amobarbital, and phenobarbital. Excessive dilution, however, caused a washing phenomenon and reduced recovery of some drugs, as shown with morphine and codeine. The procedure described is useful for the rapid screening of bile specimens for drugs.     

Solid-phase cation exchange extraction of basic drugs from the urine of racing greyhounds

The extraction of basic drugs from the urine of racing greyhounds has been carried out for many years using solvent extraction. This paper describes an extraction method that utilises a cation exchange column. Fourteen basic drugs were introduced onto the column in their ionised form, washed with organic and aqueous solvents and eluted with basic methanol. Three drugs, cyclizine, procaine and quinine were determined in authentic samples from racing greyhounds. A comparison of the solid-phase method with liquid-liquid extraction showed an increase in the efficiency of extraction and a reduction in both the time and cost incurred. The method requires a minimal volume of sample and solvent, little glassware and is easily automated.     

Rapid isolation with Sep-Pak C18 cartridges and wide-bore capillary gas chromatography of some butyrophenones

A simple and rapid method for isolation of five butyrophenones with Sep-Pak C18 cartridges from human samples, and their wide-bore capillary gas chromatography (GC), are presented. The GC was made by both flame ionization and electron capture detections. The drugs contained in alkaline samples were directly applied to the cartridges and eluted with chloroform/isopropanol (9:1). The recoveries with use of the cartridges were excellent for most drugs in both urine and plasma samples. We can recommend the Sep-Pak C18 cartridges for isolation of butyrophenones because of simplicity and rapidity, and also wide-bore capillary GC because of high sensitivity and low decomposition of drugs during passage through the column.     

Detection of drugs using XAD-2 resin. I:Choice of resin, chromatographic conditions, and recovery studies

Amberlite XAD-2, a nonionic polystyrene divinylbenzene resin, was first used for the analysis of drugs in urine and a number of reports have described the development at optimal conditions for extraction, including type of resin columns, pH conditions, and eluting solvents. XAD-4 and XAD-7 resins were compared to the similarly structured XAD-2 resin and no significant advantage over the XAD-2 resin for drug screening was observed. A quantity of 5 to 6 g of resin was found to have sufficient capacity for the extraction of 200 ml of pentobarbital solution (1 mg/100ml). A column flow rate of approximately 15 ml/min (gravitational flow) was sufficient for analysis and slower rates were not more efficient. A mixture of ethyl acetate and 1,2-dichloroethane (3:2) was found to give best overall recovery (66 to 94%) of drugs, the resulting extracts being reasonably free of interfering substances. A pH value of 8.5 is recommended as optimum for comprehensive analysis of acidic and basic drugs. Recovery studies were conducted on spiked samples to determine drug losses occuring during various steps in the XAD-2 extraction procedure for four acidic (amobarbital, secobarbital, pentobarbital, and phenobarbital) and four basic (morphine, codeine, meperidine, and methadone) drugs. A relatively small amount (0 to 5%) of the drugs was not adsorbed by the resin and amounts varying from 6 to 40% failed to be desorbed by the eluting solvent. Additional losses occurred during the removal and analysis of TLC spots. Recovery of drugs from aqueous solutions analyzed with the XAD-2 resin were compared to recoveries reported in the literature with other XAD-2 resin methods for the extraction of drugs from urine. Recovery of phenobarbital, morphine, and codeine improved by 4 to 23% while recoveries of amobarbital, pentobarbital, secobarbital, methadone, and meperidine were 4 to 28% less efficient when compared to literature data.     

A rapid screening procedure for drugs and poisons in gastric contents by direct injection-HPLC analysis

A high performance liquid chromatographic method for toxicological drug screening of gastric content has been developed. The samples were diluted (1:3-1:30) in 0.01 N hydrochloric acid and injected into a reverse phase column for separation by gradient elution. Mobile phase consisted of solvent A (acetonitrile/water 90:10, 0.01 M sodium dodecylsulphate, 0.5% v/v glacial acetic acid) and solvent B (water/acetonitrile 90:10, 0.01 M sodium dodecylsulphate, 0.5% v/v glacial acetic acid); the gradient was programmed from 20 to 80% A in 30 min. The flow was kept constant at 1.5 ml/min. Two home-made internal standards, butyrylsalicylic acid and diacetyltubocurarine with retention times of 5.6 and 21.4 min, respectively, were used. Drugs are identified by matching their relative retention times and UV spectra (200-400 nm) with those contained in a home made library of more than 340 reference compounds (9 analgesics, 22 antidepressants, 30 antihistamines, 14 antihypertensives, 21 antirheumatics, 15 beta-blockers, 9 bronchodilators, 10 Ca antagonists, 14 diuretics, 26 neuroleptics, 25 tranquilizers, and other significant xenobiotic compounds). The fluorometric (FLD) emission spectrum (280-700 nm; excitation wavelength, 230 nm) was used as a further identification. At 50mg/l analyte concentrations, the injection of gastric content after dilution (1:3) produced S/N ratios in the range 8-140. The method is simple, rapid, rather inexpensive and proved to be a useful means of investigation if used in combination with GC-MS screening in blood. On the other hand, the system suffers from a relatively limited sensitivity for compounds with a low UV absorption and from interferences due to the presence in the matrix of some highly UV- and FL-responsive compounds (e.g. tryptophan).     

Simultaneous identification and quantification of several opiates and derivatives by capillary gas chromatography and nitrogen selective detection

A capillary column gas chromatographic method is described for the simultaneous determination of morphine, codeine, heroin, 3- and 6-monoacetylmorphine, nalorphine, naloxone, ethylmorphine, and naltrexone. The drugs were extracted from 2 ml plasma, urine, or other biological samples, including tissue under alkaline conditions in chloroform-isopropanol-n-heptane (50:17:33, v/v), with levallorphan as an internal standard. The drugs were extracted into acid and then reextracted into chloroform after the acid had been alkalinized. After derivatization with trifluoroacetic anhydride, an aliquot was injected into a 25m capillary column equipped with a nitrogen phosphorus detector. The lower limits of detectability, extraction recovery, and the within-run and day-to-day precision of results were determined for each drug. Our results indicate that the procedure is suitable for use in overdose screening and therapeutic drug monitoring.

Rapid extraction and capillary gas chromatography for diazine herbicides in human body fluids

A simple and rapid method for the extraction of four diazine herbicides (terbacil, bromacil, norflurazon and PAC) from human whole blood, plasma and urine with use of Bond Elut C₁₈ cartridges is presented. Whole blood, plasma and urine samples containing the herbicides, after mixing with distilled water, were loaded on Bond Elut C₁₈ cartridges and the herbicides were eluted with chloroform/methanol (9:1). They were detected by capillary gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (FID) with splitless injection. Separation of the four diazine herbicides from each other and from impurities was generally satisfactory with the use of an intermediately polar DB-17 capillary column. The recovery of all compounds, which had been added to whole blood, plasma and urine, was > 89%. The calibration curve for the herbicides, which has been added to whole blood, plasma and urine, showed linearity in the range 1.6–100 ng on column. Their detection limits were 1.2–1.4 ng on column for whole blood and plasma, and 1.1–1.2 ng on column for urine.     

Enzyme immunochemical detection of the use of hashish and confirmation by thin-layer chromatography

The EMIT cannabinoid assay was used for screening blood and urine after smoking tetrahydrocannabinol (THC; 10 mg) or ingestion of THC (30 mg). Cannabinoid levels in urine remain detectable up to 1 week. Confirmation was done by adsorption of the THC carboxylic acid onto a C18 extraction column and elution with acetone and TLC. The method is simple and sensitive and is applicable with common laboratory equipment. The detection limit is 10 ng/ml, using 10 ml urine.
