CRC SERIES IN CHROMATOGRAPHY SERIES PREFACE The fat-soluble photosynthetic pigments present in plants and algae, including chloro­ phylls, carotenoids, and related pigments, comprise an important class of compounds with an extensive literature. Dr. K5st and his co-authors have done an admirable job in searching out and organizing much of the critical chromatographic data and methodology in the present volume. Because of the chemical nature of these prenyllipid compounds, liquid chromatography is preferred for their isolation, separation, and determination. The most widely used methods include low pressure column LC, paper chromatography, TLC, and, most recently, HPLC. All of these methods are covered by Dr. Kost. Chromatography was “ invented” in the early 1900s by Michael Tswett, a Russian botanist and plant physiologist who first applied liquid-solid chromatography on a column of chalk to resolution of the complex natural mixture of yellow and green chloroplast pigments in the extracts of leaves he was studying. On a personal note, I was fortunate to work with Dr. Harold Strain for five summers at the Argonne National Laboratory when I first began to teach. Dr. Strain was one of the first important American chromatography experts and used all variations of liquid chromatography extensively in his studies of photosynthetic pigments. My experience with Dr. Strain set the foundation for my lifelong career of research and writing in chromatography. Readers of this Handbook are asked to contact the Series Editor if they find errors or omissions in coverage as well as with suggestions for future volumes and authors within the Handbook of Chromatography series.

PREFACE The phenomenal growth in the application of liquid chromatographic (LC) techniques for the determination of drugs in pharmaceutical preparations and in biological fluids has continued in the first half of this decade. In the mid to late 1970s, a large number of papers were published describing gas chromatographic (GC) procedures for the drug groups anticonvulsants and antidepressants. In the last few years, a large number of publications have appeared describing LC procedures for the same drugs. There have been a number of improvements in the LC instrumentation and column technology. Variable wavelength absorbance detectors are now available which match fixed wavelength detectors in sensitivity. Some of these detectors allow monitoring of absorbance at multiple wavelengths. A number of manufacturers now market photo diode array absorbance detectors which allow instant absorbance scanning over a wide wavelength range of any eluting peak, check peak purity, and complement component separation by mathematical manipulation of absorbance data of incomplete chromatographic separation. There are also improvements in the design of electrochemical detectors. Multielectrode detectors are now available which require little maintenance and allow ultra-high sensitivity. Fluorescence detectors with mono­ chromators and high energy power sources have also become available. However, use of lasers as power sources for fluorescence detectors is not yet common. A number of manufacturers market on-line sample preparation systems, samplers allowing precolumn derivatization, and efficient postcolumn reactors. Although instrumentation for narrow bore LC is commercially available, this technique has not yet been commonly applied for the determination of drugs. There is improved quality control in the manufacture of columns. For convenience, cartridge-type columns and fittings requiring no tools have become available. Good quality silica-based columns can now be purchased at economical proces from general suppliers. However, polymer-based columns have failed to gain popularity and are relatively more expensive than silica-based columns because of limited sales. In general, GC is now the preferred technique only when the required sensitivity is not available with an LC procedure for the determination of a particular drug. However, separation of widely different compounds is more efficiently accomplished with temperature programming GC analysis than by solvent programming LC analysis. Thus, considerable GC retention data of drugs with the use of capillary columns have been published for the identification of an unknown drug in a given matrix. However, the use of capillary columns for the determination of drugs has not been as widespread as was anticipated. The nitrogen detector is now the most widely used detector for the GC determination of drugs. Gas chromatography-mass spectrome­ try remains the ultimate standard to confirm the identification of an unknown drug. There has been a further decline in the popularity of thin-layer chromatography in the past few years. In the majority of the laboratories, drugs of abuse are now screened by immunoassay for improved sensitivity and convenience. The purpose of this handbook is to provide a reference source and summaries of different chromatographic techniques published in refereed journals during the past 6 years. When the number of publications of a given drug was numerous, only recent papers were selected, even if they described only the modification of the original key publications. Despite the size of this work, a number of publications or drugs might have been missed as the literature search was carried out manually. In some cases, copies of the required papers could not be obtained. A number of publications could not be included as they were either theoretical or did not provide information compatible with the format of this handbook. There is a significant difference between the present volumes and Volumes I and II of this handbook. For a number of drugs, e.g., cyclosporine, the chromatographic parameters of a number of publications are identical. However, they differ in the sample preparation techniques.

Therefore, detailed summaries of extraction procedures have now been provided for comparison of the different publications for the determinations of a given drug. I am grateful to Dr. Gillian Luxton, Head of the Clinical Chemistry Laboratory, St. Joseph’s Hospital for her encouragement to accept this project and for providing all the required facilities. Mrs. S. Rogers and Mrs. J. Maragno of this hospital library made a special effort to get copies of the published papers from different sources. Mrs. D. Thompson, Director of the hospital pharmacy, arranged to get information from the Drug Information Center in Toronto. Miss Maelly Lew went to different libraries to get the information in emergency situations when a paper under review would refer to earlier papers. I thank Miss Elisa Capretta, Mrs. Mary Bruce, Miss Rhita Gilners, and Miss Abha Gupta for preparing this manuscript. Mrs. Diane Kirshenblat provided moral support when there was a temptation to abandon the project. I am grateful to Ms. Sandy Pearlman, Director of Editing and Mrs. Amy Skallerup, Senior Editor, CRC Press for their help during the early phases of manuscript preparation. Mr. J. C. Richardson, Senior Coordinating Editor, had the difficult task of making this manuscript uniform within the constraints of space limitations. I thank him for his courteous response to my various suggestions and changes. Finally, I thank my family members, who tolerated my absence for more than a year.

THE EDITORS-IN-CHIEF Gunter Zweig, Ph.D., received his undergraduate training at the University of Maryland, College Park, where he was awarded the Ph.D. in biochemistry in 1952. Two years following his graduation, Dr. Zweig was affiliated with the late R. J. Block, pioneer in paper chro­ matography of amino acids. Zweig, Block, and Le Strange wrote one of the first books on paper chromatography, which was published in 1952 by Academic Press and went into three editions, the last one authored by Gunter Zweig and Dr. Joe Sherma, the co-Editor-in-Chief of this series. Paper Chromatography (1952) was also translated into Russian. From 1953 to 1957, Dr. Zweig was research biochemist at the C. F. Kettering Foundation, Antioch College, Yellow Springs, Ohio, where he pursued research on the path of carbon and sulfur in plants, using the then newly developed techniques of autoradiography and paper chromatography. From 1957 to 1965, Dr. Zweig served as lecturer and chemist, University of California, Davis and worked on analytical methods for pesticide residues, mainly by chromatographic techniques. In 1965, Dr. Zweig became Director of Life Sci­ ences, Syracuse University Research Corporation, New York (research on environmental pollution), and in 1973 he became Chief, Environmental Fate Branch, Environmental Pro­ tection Agency (EPA) in Washington, D.C. From 1980 to 1984 Dr. Zweig was Visiting Research Chemist in the School of Public Health, University of California, Berkeley, where he was doing research on farmworker safety as related to pesticide exposure. During his government career, Dr. Zweig continued his scientific writing and editing. Among his works are (many in collaboration with Dr. Sherma) the now 11-volume series on Analytical Methods for Pesticides and Plant Growth Regulators (published by Academic Press); the pesticide book series for CRC Press; co-editor of Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health; co-author of basic review on paper and thin-layer chromatography for Analytical Chemistry from 1968 to 1980; co-author of applied chromatography review on pesticide analysis for Analytical Chemistry, beginning in 1981. Among the scientific honors awarded to Dr. Zweig during his distinguished career were the Wiley Award in 1977, the Rothschild Fellowship to the Weizmann Institute in 1963/64; and the Bronze Medal by the EPA in 1980. Dr. Zweig authored or co-authored over 80 scientific papers on diverse subjects in chro­ matography and biochemistry, besides being the holder of three U.S. patents. In 1985, Dr. Zweig became president of Zweig Associates, Consultants in Arlington, Va. Following his death on January 27, 1987, the Agrochemicals Section of the American Chemical Society posthumously elected him a Fellow and established the Gunther Zweig Award for Young Chemists in his honor. Joseph Sherma, Ph.D., received a B.S. in Chemistry from Upsala College, East Orange, N .J., in 1955 and a Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from Rutgers University in 1958, carrying on his thesis research in ion exchange chromatography under the direction of the late William Rieman III. Dr. Sherma joined the faculty of Lafayette College in September, 1958, and is presently Charles A. Dana Professor and Head of the Chemistry Department. Dr. Sherma, independently and with others, has written over 300 research papers, chapters, books, and reviews involving chromatography and other analytical methodology. He is editor for residues and trace elements of the Journal of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists and a member of the advisory board of the Journal of Planar Chromatography. He is a consultant on analytical methodology for many companies and government agencies. Dr. Sherma has received two awards for superior teaching at Lafayette College and the 1979 Distinguished Alumnus Award from Upsala College for outstanding achievements as an educator, researcher, author, and editor. He is a member of the ACS, Sigma Xi, Phi Lambda Upsilon, SAS, AIC, and AO AC. Dr. Sherma’s current interests are in quantitative TLC, mainly applied to clinical analysis, pesticide residues, and food additives.

Extraction — 1-1. To the sample (2 m€), 50 μ€ of ethanolic solution of the internal standard (50 ng/m€ of [2H3] albuterol) and 6 m€ of diethyl ether were added. After mixing and centrifugation, the organic layer was discarded, the aqueous phase diluted with 2 m€ of 0.05 M phosphate buffer, pH 7.6 and the mixture adjusted to pH 10.6 by the addition of 200 μ€ of cone, ammonium hydroxide. Sodium chloride (1 g) was added and the samples extracted twice with 5-m€ aliquots of ethyl acetate. The combined ethyl acetate layers were evaporated to dryness under a stream of nitrogen. The residue was treated with 50 μ€ of pyridine and 50 μ€ of Ν,Οfcw-(trimethylsilyl) acetamide. The mixture was heated at 80°C for 30 min and aliquots of 1 to 10 μ€ were injected. 1-2. The sample (1 m€) was spiked with 20 μ€ of the internal standard solution (banethan, 1 μg/m€ of water), was applied to washed (5 m€ methanol, 5 m€ water) Sep-Pak columns. The tubes containing sample were rinsed with 1 m€ water and the washings were also applied to the column. The drainings were discarded and the column eluted with 5 m€ of methanol-diethyl ether (25:75). The eluates were evaporated under nitrogen at 60°C. The residue was dissolved in 500 μ€ of 0.015 M phosphate buffer, pH 7.5 and 250 μ€ of this solution was applied to 50 x 4.6 mm column packed with Partisil SCX (10 \jM ). The column was washed with the above mentioned buffer for 5 min at 3 m€/min with an auxiliary pump. This column was then switched on line to the analytical column with a switching valve. 1-3. Plasma (1 m€) was buffered to pH 1.2 with 0.2 m€ of 0.42 M phosphate buffer and extracted with a solution of 0.1 M di(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate in chloroform (6 m€) by vortexing for 2 min. Chloroform layer was collected and back extracted with 500 μ^ of 0.5 M HC1. A 200-μ€ aliquot of the aqueous phase was injected. 1-4. The sample (0.5 m€) was diluted with 1 m€ of water, 15 μ€ of the internal standard solution (100 ng/m€ of fenoterol bromide in water) added and was applied to Sep-Pak C ,8 cartridge which was previously washed with 10 m€ of methanol and 10 m€ of water. The cartridge was washed with 2 m€ of water and eluted with 2 m€ of methanol — the first 2 drops of eluate being discarded. The rest of the eluate was evaporated to dryness at 40°C under a stream of nitrogen. The residue was treated with 70 μ€ of phosphate buffer containing Cl and heptane sulfonic acid (aqueous component of the mobile phase) and extracted with 300 μ€ of 0.05% solution of di(2-ethylhexyl phosphate in ethyl acetate). The organic layer was collected and washed with 40 μ€ of above mentioned phosphate buffer. The organic layer was collected and back extracted into 70 μ€ of 10 mAf HC1. The organic layer was discarded and the aqueous layer was washed with 150 μ€ of chloroform. A 40- to 60-μ€ aliquot of the aqueous phase was injected. 1-5. To the sample (0.5 m€) were added 2 m€ of 2.5 mM solium heptane-sulfonate and 200 μ€ of an aqueous solution of ethenzamide (2 mg/m€). The mixture was applied to prewashed (20 m€ of methanol-diethyl ether (1:1) and 20 m€ of water) Sep-Pak C 18 cartridge. The cartridge was washed twice with 2 m€ of water, eluted with 7 m€ methanol-diethyl ether (1:1) and the eluate was evaporated to dryness under vacuum at 20°C. The residue was dissolved in 200 μ€ of the mobile phase and a 60-μΙ aliquot of this solution was injected. 1-6. The sample (10 m€) was adjusted to pH 5.5 and applied to 1 x 10 cm plastic column packed with Amberlite CG-50 Type II ion exchange resin (acetate form). The column was washed with 5 m€ of water and 10 m€ of methanol. The columns were eluted with 1 mol/€ ammonia. First 3 m€ of the eluate was discarded and the next 3 m€ were collected and evaporated. The residue was dissolved in 25 μ€ of methanol and 5 μ€ of this solution was applied to the plate. 1-7. The sample (2 m€ of plasma) was applied to washed Sep-Pak C 18 cartridge (5 m€ methanol, 5 m€ water). The cartridge was washed with water (2 m€) and acetonitrile (2 m€) and was eluted with 1.5 m€ of methanol. The eluate was evaporated at 45°C under vacuum.

Extraction — 1-1. To 2 m l of plasma were added 2 m l of borate buffer (0.5 M, pH 10.5), and 1 g of NaCl. The mixture was shaken with 10 m l of ethyl acetate for 10 min and centrifuged for 5 min. The organic layer was collected and the aqueous layer re-extracted with another 5 m l of ethyl acetate. An aliquot of 14 m l of combined extract was back extracted into 1 m l of 0.5 N HC1. The acid extract was made alkaline with 0.5 m l of 2 N sodium hydroxide and extracted into 5 m l of ethyl acetate. An aliquot of 4.5 m l of the ethyl acetate extract was treated with 0.5 m l of carbon disulphide, mixed and allowed to stand for 4 hr. Then the solution was washed with 0.5 m l of 0.5 N HC1 and the organic layer evaporated to dryness. The residue was then dissolved in 20 μ ΐ of ethyl acetate solution containing 10 ng/ml of p-methoxyphenylethylamine isothiocyanate. 1-2. To the sample are added 1 m l of internal standard solution (200 ng/ml of water), 1 m l of 1 M NaOH, and 2 m l of toluene. The tubes are mixed on a rotary mixer at 300 rpm for 15 min and centrifuged 480 x g for 10 min. An aliquot of the toluene phase is transferred to another tube, 10 μ ΐ of 2% trichloroacetyl chloride solution in toluene (prepared immediately before use) are added, and the stoppered tube is heated at 70°C for 30 min. After cooling, 1 m l of 1 M NaOH is added. The tubes are mixed for 5 min, centrifuged, and a 3-μΙ portion of the organic layer is injected into the gas chromatograph by solvent flush technique using 1 μ ΐ of the toluene as the guard. 1-3. To the sample are added 20 μ ΐ of the internal standard (95.8 μg), 0.5 m l of the 6 M NaOH and 300 μ ΐ of chloroform. The tubes are vortex mixed for 1 min and centrifuged at 800 x g for 10 min. Upper layer is discarded and 1 to 3 μ ΐ of the chloroform layer is injected. 1-4. To the sample (1 to 3 ml) were added, 1 m l of chlorphentermine solution (10 μg/ml) and 0.5 m l of 2 N NaOH. The mixture was extracted three times with freshly distilled diethyl ether. Isopropanol (0.1 m l) was added to the combined ethereal extracts, concentrated to 20 to 40 μ ΐ at 44°C and aliquots of the concentrated extract were injected.

Ten milliters of urine were refluxed with 3 m l of 37% HC1 for 15 min, then made basic with about 3 g of KOH and mixed with 10 m l of 30% aqueous ammonium sulfate to obtain a pH between 8 and 9. The samples were extracted twice with 10 m l each of a mixture of 2 parts of dichloromethane, 2 parts of isopropanol, and 6 parts of ethyl acetate. After centrifugation, the combined residue was treated with 40 μ ΐ of a mixture of 3 parts of acetic anhydride and 2 parts of pyridine and incubated for 30 to 60 min at 60°C. An aliquot of 1.4 μ ΐ of this mixture was injected. 1-2. Ten milliters of urine was brought to pH 9 with 1 N NaOH which was then concentrated to a small volume and extracted successively with 30 m l each of ethyl acetate, chloroform, and ethyl ether. The combined extracts were dehydrated over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid (250 μg as an ethanolic solution) was added to the dried extract which was then evaporated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in 50 μ ΐ of methanol and 1.2 μ ΐ aliquot of this solution was injected into the chromatograph. 1-3. The precolumn was purged in the load position with 1 m l of water, 50 to 1000 μ ΐ of the plasma sample was loaded on the precolumn and washed with 1 m l of water. The sample was injected by changing precolumn to inject position and precolumn remained in this position until analysis was completed. 1-4. Plasma (0.1 m l) was extracted with 5 m l of chloroform by shaking for 30 min and centrifugation for 10 min. A 4-m l aliquot of the organic layer was collected. The pH of the remaining mixture was adjusted to 3.5 with 0.1 M HC1 and the extraction was repeated. A 4-ml aliquot of chloroform was collected and the combined extracts were evaporated to dryness. The residue was reconstituted in 0.1 m l of the mobile phase containing the internal standard (300 μg/ml) and 20-μΙ aliquots were injected.

Extraction — 1-1. A sample (5 g) of the tissue was extracted three times by boiling in 50-ml portions of methanol for 30 min. The combined extracts were concentrated in a rotary evaporator to —20 m l, 50 m l of 0.2 M HC1 added and extracted three times by shaking with 20 ml-portions of chloroform. The combined extracts were evaporated to dryness at 35°C under vacuum and the residue treated with methanol-HCl reagent (30 m l) at 85°C for 30 min. The cooled solution was reduced to about 10 m l, diluted with water (20 ml), and extracted with chloroform (2 x 10 ml). The combined extracts were back extracted into 2 x 10 m l of 0.1 N NaOH. The combined aqueous layer was made acidic with 10 M HC1 and extracted with 2 x 10 m l chloroform. The residue was methylated by treating it with 0.07 g dimethyl sulfate, potassium carbonate solution (0.3 m l), and methanol (0.3 ml) and heating the mixture at 85°C for 5 min. After cooling, the reaction mixture was diluted with water (2 ml) and extracted with benzene ( 2 x 2 ml). The organic phase was evaporated and dissolved in an accurately measured volume of the internal standard solution. Aliquots of 1 to 2 μ ΐ were injected.

The ultrafiltrate was stored at 5°C until aliquots were injected. 1-2. The sample (1 m€) was diluted with 1 m€ of 0.02 M KH2PO and passed through Sep-Pak C 18 cartridges prewashed with 4 m€ of methanol followed by 1 m€ of 0.02 M KH2P 0 4. The cartridges were washed with 1 m€ of 0.02 M KH2P 0 4 and 0.5 m€ of water; and then eluted with 2-m€ aliquot of water-methanol (85:15). The eluate was placed in the vials of autosampler and 80-μ€ aliquots were injected. 1-3. The sample 0.5 m€ was treated with 250 μ€ of perchloric acid-citrate/phosphate buffer (pH 5.4) (10:90). After mixing and centrifugation 450 μ€ of the supernatant was treated with citrate/phosphate buffer (pH 5.4) — 1 M NaOH (110:40). The solution was placed in the sample vial of the autoinjector and 25 to 100 μ€ were injected. The desired compound is switched from the first analytical column to the second analytical column at the prescribed time automatically. 1-4. The sample was mixed with 0.25 m f of the internal standard solution (0.25 mM with 0.01 M tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulfate in 0.1 M phosphate buffer, pH (7). An aliquot of 0.25 m€ of this mixture was applied to a l-m€ Baker-Clg extraction column. The column was washed three times with 500-μ€ aliquots of 0.01 M tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulfate in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 7) and eluted three times with 50 μ€ of methanol and once with 350 μ€ of 0.005 M tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulfate in 0.05 M sodium dihydrogen phosphate (pH 6 ).
