    Abstract Monitoring plasma concentrations of β-lactam antibiotics is crucial, particularly in critically ill patients, where variations in concentrations can lead to treatment failure or adverse events. Standardized antimicrobial regimens may not be effective for all patients, especially in special groups with altered physiological parameters. Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) studies highlight the time-dependent antibacterial activity of these antibiotics, emphasizing the need for personalized dosing. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is essential, requiring rapid and accurate analytical methods for precise determination of drugs in biological material (typically plasma or serum). This study presents a novel capillary zone electrophoresis-tandem mass spectrometry (CZE-MS/MS) method designed for the simultaneous quantification of five penicillin antibiotics, two cephalosporins, one carbapenem, and two β-lactamase inhibitors in a single run. The method involves a simple sample pretreatment-precipitation with organic solvent-and has a run time of 20 min. Optimization of CZE separation conditions revealed that 20 mM ammonium hydrogen carbonate (NH

    Abstract The paper is focused on development of a simple analytical method based on capillary zone electro-phoresis in combination with UV-detection for simul-taneous detemination of thiamine and pyridoxine in pharmaceutical and food samples. The separation of thiamine and pyridoxine was performed in a background electrolyte composed of 25 mmol l-1 GABA + 50 mmol l-1 HAc+ 0.05% m-HEC. The UV detector was set at the constant wavelength of 260 nm. Limit of detection was 0.059 µg ml-1 for thiamine and 0.23 µg ml-1 for pyridoxine. These levels suggest that relatively low quantities of thiamine and pyridoxine can be detected. The presented CZE-UV method enabled effective determination of the two vitamins in 5 food supplements and 11 energy drinks and vitamin waters.

    Abstract (1) Background: Tryptophan metabolism is known to be one of the important mechanisms used by cancer to evade immune surveillance. Altered tryptophan metabolism was studied in patients with pigmented malignant melanoma confirmed histologically by the anatomic stage grouping for cutaneous melanoma using clinical staging on the basis of the Breslow thickness of the melanoma, the degree of spread to regional lymph nodes, and by the presence of distant metastasis. (2) Methods: Urinary tryptophan metabolites were detected by RP-HPLC method. (3) Results: In the present work, we provided evidence of altered metabolism of all tryptophan pathways in melanoma patients. (4) Conclusions: Knowledge of the shifted serotonin pathway toward DHICA formation and kynurenine pathway shifted toward NAD

    Abstract The aim of the present study is the development and validation of a simple method based on capillary zone electrophoresis coupled with UV detection for simultaneous determination of tramadol and paracetamol in pharmaceutical and biological samples. The background electrolyte was composed of 50 mM ammonium carbonate, which is a type of a non-conventional electrolyte system. The developed method was characterized by suitable validation parameters, such as linearity (coefficient of determination r2 0,995), selectivity or the limit of detection at the level of 0.25 - 0.5 μg/ml. Acceptable values of accuracy and precision were obtained, which were in good agreement with the recommended validation guidelines for analysis of pharmaceutical and biological samples. Detection was performed at a wavelength of 200 nm. The developed method was successfully applied to determine tramadol and paracetamol in various dosage forms and in urine biological samples. Achieved results indicate a potential of the method to be integrated in the common quality control processes of drugs and/or in bioanalysis.

    Abstract A capillary electrophoresis-tandem mass spectrometry method with a multisegment injection and an in-capillary field-enhanced sample stacking for determination of therapeutic peptide triptorelin in pharmaceutical and biological matrices was developed. The CE separation conditions were optimized in order to obtain maximal separation efficiency, analytical signal intensity and stability, and minimal adsorption of the analyzed peptide onto the capillary wall (1 M formic acid-HFo, pH 1.88). The implementation of the field-enhanced sample injection into CE improved the value of limit of detection 50 times while the multisegment injection increased the sample throughput three times in comparison to a conventional CE approach. The proposed method was characterized by favorable performance parameters, such as linearity (r

    Abstract Abstract: Acute myocardial infarction (MI) is the leading cause of mortality worldwide with premenopausal women showing a lower incidence of cardiovascular disease compared with men of the same age. After menopause, this advantage disappears, suggesting that sex hormones play a cardioprotective role. This study was aimed to assess on the activity of antioxidant enzymes in plasma and the respiratory function of isolated heart mitochondria after the induction of MI in rats after ovariectomy and estradiol benzoate supplementation. Sprague-Dawley female rats were ovariectomized 3 months before the induction of MI and supplemented/not supplemented with oestrogen 3 months before/7 days after the induction of MI. No significant differences in glutathione peroxidase activities were found in any group. Differences between values were only significant in the ovariectomized not supplemented group (P < 0.01) for the glutathione reductase activity and glutathione concentrations. In isolated mitochondria (7 days after MI), the decline in respiration was observed comparing the ovariectomized and nonovariectomized group. Respiratory functions did not show significant differences between animals supplemented with oestrogen before MI or treated with oestrogen after MI. Ovariectomy worsened mitochondrial dysfunction after MI, and oestrogen supplementation before or after the induction of MI did not improve mitochondrial function.

    Abstract The possibility to investigate analytes at ultra-low concentration levels still remains a hot topic in bioanalysis. In this area, various preconcentration techniques are an integral part of analytical procedures. When applying electromigration separation techniques, an isotachophoresis has been advantageously employed many times for this purpose. To solve current biomedical tasks effectively, an advanced two-dimensional isotachophoretic instrument (in a hydrodynamically closed separation system with an enhanced sample load capacity) hyphenated with mass spectrometry (ITP-ITP-MS) has been proposed by Foret and coworkers. As a continuation, this work represents the first study dealing with a full validation of an ITP-ITP-MS method. In order to see the benefits of an online ITP sample pretreatment (preconcentration and clean-up) on the performance parameters, the developed 2D ITP-MS method was compared with a corresponding 1D ITP-MS method. Application potentialities of the compared methods were demonstrated via a determination of two B vitamins, namely thiamine and pyridoxine, in human urine samples. The developed 2D ITP-MS method showed its enhanced effectivity and usefulness for a routine biomedical use (here, a reliable screening of trace B vitamins in human urine without an offline sample preparation).

    Abstract In the presented study, a capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry method combining high separation efficiency and sensitive detection has been developed and validated, for the first time, to quantify branched chain amino acids (valine, isoleucine, leucine) in commercial food and sport supplement samples and human plasma samples. The separations were performed in a bare fused silica capillary. The background electrolyte was composed of 500 mM formic acid with pH 2.0. The plasma sample pretreatment was realized by simple protein precipitation with acetonitrile. Injection of a short zone of highly basic electrolyte before the sample injection and application of the negative pressure on the separation were accompanied by enhanced resolution of the isobaric amino acids-isoleucine and leucine. The developed method was characterized by favorable validation parameters, such as linearity (r

    Abstract A capillary electrophoresis–tandem mass spectrometry method with a multisegment injection and an in-capillary field-enhanced sample stacking for determination of therapeutic peptide triptorelin in pharmaceutical and biological matrices was developed. The CE separation conditions were optimized in order to obtain maximal separation efficiency, analytical signal intensity and stability, and minimal adsorption of the analyzed peptide onto the capillary wall (1 M formic acid—HFo, pH 1.88). The implementation of the field-enhanced sample injection into CE improved the value of limit of detection 50 times while the multisegment injection increased the sample throughput three times in comparison to a conventional CE approach. The proposed method was characterized by favorable performance parameters, such as linearity (r 2 ≥ 0.99), limit of detection (5 ng mL −1 in water matrix, 25 ng mL −1 in plasma matrix), precision (relative standard deviation, 1.5–9.4% for intraday and 2.3–11.9% for interday reproducibility), or accuracy (relative errors in the range of 80–109%). The FDA-validated method was successfully applied to the analysis of triptorelin in the commercial drug Diphereline ® 0.1 mg (powder for injection) and in spiked human plasma samples. Favorable performance parameters along with proven application potentialities indicate the usefulness of the proposed method for its routine use in drug quality control laboratories and for clinical analysis, such as determination of triptorelin levels in plasma (for pharmacokinetic study).
