Sci Rep 2023; 13:20268. [PMID: 37985716 PMCID: PMC10662266 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-47594-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2023] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 11/22/2023] Open
Abstract
The report presents robust and high throughput methods, based on liquid chromatography coupled with evaporative light scattering detection (HPLC-ELSD), for the simultaneous determination of major metabolites of ibuprofen (IBU), namely 2-hydroxyibuprofen and carboxyibuprofen (method A) as well as creatinine (Crn) (method B) in human urine. The assays primarily involve straightforward sample purification. For both methods, the chromatographic separation of the analytes is achieved within 8 min at room temperature on Poroshell 120 SB-C18 (75 × 4.6 mm, 2.7 µm) column using gradient elution. The eluents consisted of 0.1% formic acid in water and acetonitrile (method A) or water and methanol (method B) delivered at a flow rate of 1 or 0.5 mL/min, respectively. In relation to metabolites of IBU, the assay linearity was observed within 0.06-0.5 g/L in urine, while the Crn assay linearity was demonstrated within 0.5-30 mmol/L in urine. The limit of quantification for IBU metabolites was determined to be 0.06 g/L, and 0.5 mmol/L for Crn. These methods were successfully applied to urine samples delivered by ten apparently healthy donors showing that the HPLC-ELSD assays are suitable for human urine screening.

Abstract
Besides the racemate, the S-enantiomer of ibuprofen (Ibu) is used for the treatment of inflammation and pain. Since the configurational stability of S-Ibu in solid state is of interest, it was studied by means of ball milling experiments. For the evaluation of the enantiomeric composition, a chiral CE method was developed and validated according to the ICH guideline Q2(R1). The addition of Mg2+ , Ca2+ , or Zn2+ ions to the background electrolyte (BGE) was found to improve Ibu enantioresolution. Chiral separation of Ibu enantiomers was achieved on a 60.2 cm (50.0 cm effective length) x 75 μm fused-silica capillary using a background electrolyte (BGE) composed of 50 mM sodium acetate, 10 mM magnesium acetate tetrahydrate, and 35 mM heptakis-(2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)-β-cyclodextrin (TM-β-CD) as chiral selector. The quantification of R-Ibu in the mixture was performed using the normalization procedure. Linearity was evaluated in the range of 0.68-5.49% R-Ibu (R2 = 0.999), recovery was found to range between 97 and 103%, the RSD of intra- and interday precision below 2.5%, and the limit of quantification for R- in S-Ibu was calculated to be 0.21% (extrapolated) and 0.15% (dilution of racemic ibuprofen), respectively. Isomerization of S-Ibu was observed under basic conditions by applying long milling times and high milling frequencies.

Abstract
A stereospecific CE method was elaborated for the quantification of ibuprofen enantiomers and their major phase I metabolites: 2'-hydroxy-ibuprofen and 2'-carboxy-ibuprofen in plasma and urine. Optimal temperature and pH of BGE were established to obtain complete separation of eight ibuprofen chiral compounds and (+)-S indobufen, applied as an internal standard, during one analytical run. After isolation from biological matrices using SPE on an octadecyl stationary phase, the analytes were separated and resolved up to 10 min in a silica capillary filled with BGE, consisting of heptakis 2,3,6-tri-O-methyl-beta-CD in triethanolamine-phosphate buffer, pH 5.0. Complete enantioseparation of the all analytes confirmed specificity of the method. The calibration curves were linear in the range of 0.1-25.0 mg/L for IBP enantiomers and their chiral metabolites in 0.5 mL of plasma and 1.0-200.0 mg/L in 0.05 mL of urine. Following SPE procedure, recovery of the chiral analytes from the two media was in the ranges of 82-87%, 90-95% and 70-76% for ibuprofen, 2'-hydroxy-ibuprofen and 2'-carboxy-ibuprofen enantiomers, respectively. The validated method was successfully applied in pharmacokinetic investigations of IBP enantiomers as well as free chiral metabolites in reference to the genetic polymorphism of CYP450 2C isoenzymes.

Abstract
Over the past 15 years, CE as an analytical tool has shown great promise in replacing many conventional clinical laboratory methods, such as electrophoresis and HPLC. CE's appeal was that it was fast, used very small amounts of sample and reagents, was extremely versatile, and was able to separate large and small analytes, whether neutral or charged. Because of this versatility, numerous methods have been developed for analytes that are of clinical interest. Other than molecular diagnostic and forensic laboratories CE has not been able to make a major impact in the United States. In contrast, in Europe and Japan an increasing number of clinical laboratories are using CE. Now that automated multicapillary instruments are commercially available along with cost-effective test kits, CE may yet be accepted as an instrument that will be routinely used in the clinical laboratories. This review will focus on areas where CE has the potential to have the greatest impact on the clinical laboratory. These include analyses of proteins found in serum and urine, hemoglobin (A1c and variants), carbohydrate-deficient transferrin, forensic and therapeutic drug screening, and molecular diagnostics.

Abstract
This article covers recent publications from 2003 to 2005 on the subject of pharmacokinetic applications of CE. Many analytical methods were validated and more importantly, they were shown to have sufficient sensitivities to access pharmacokinetic data on different models. Because of unique advantages, such as simplified sample preparation methods, small sample amount required, high separation power, and speedy analysis, CE-based assays were found to gain popularity not only as a second method but also as a major method for many pharmacokinetic studies.

Abstract
An optical purity test was indirectly performed on (S)-ibuprofen as its diastereomeric (R)-(+)-1-phenylethylamide derivative using achiral gas chromatography (GC). The method for the determination of trace (R)-ibuprofen (optical impurity), within the range 1.0 to 50 ng, from a racemic ibuprofen standard was linear (r = 0.9997) with acceptable precision (% RSD < or = 5.3) and accuracy (% RE = 0.7 - -3.9). Similar results were obtained with the method validation for the quantification of (S)-ibuprofen within the range 0.1 to 2.0 microg using a (S)-ibuprofen standard. When applied to seven different commercial (S)-ibuprofen products, their optical purities (98.7 - 99.1%) were determined with good precision (% RSD < or = 4.0).

Abstract
The enantioselective analysis of ibuprofen (IBU), a chiral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, in human plasma was carried out by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS). The plasma samples were prepared by liquid-liquid extraction using hexane:ethyl acetate (8:2, v/v). The HPLC chiral resolution of IBU was obtained using a chiral stationary phase based on a tris-(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) amylose derivative, under reversed phase conditions (CHIRALPAK AD-RH column), using a mobile phase consisting of methanol:water (8:2, v/v), containing 0.1% of an aqueous solution of phosphoric acid at pH 2, at a flow rate of 0.6 ml/min. A make-up liquid of 4.5% (w/v) NH(4)OH aqueous solution was used to assure optimum electrospray ionization in the negative mode. The coefficients of variation and deviation from nominal values were lower than 15% for both within- and between-day assays. The quantitation limit was 0.12 microg/ml and the linear range was 0.12-90.0 microg/ml for both enantiomers. The method proved to be suitable for single dose pharmacokinetic studies.

Abstract
1. The stereoselective metabolism and pharmacokinetics of the enantiomers of ibuprofen have been investigated following the oral administration of the racemic drug (400 mg) to 12 healthy volunteers.2. The stereochemical composition of the drug in serum, both total and unbound, and drug and metabolites, both free and conjugated, in urine were determined by a combination of the direct and indirect chromatographic procedures to enantiomeric analysis. 3. The oral clearance of (S)-ibuprofen was significantly greater than that of the R-enantiomer (74.5 +/- 18.1 versus 57.1 +/- 11.7 ml min(-1); p < 0.05) and the clearance of (R)-ibuprofen via inversion was ca two fold that via alternative pathways. 4. Some 74.0 +/- 9.6% of the dose was recovered in urine over 24 h as ibuprofen, 2-hydroxyibuprofen and carboxyibuprofen, both free and conjugated with glucuronic acid. Analysis of the stereochemical composition of the urinary excretion products indicated that 68% of the dose of (R)-ibuprofen had undergone chiral inversion. 5. Metabolism via glucuronidation and both routes of oxidation, showed enantio-selectivity for (S)-ibuprofen, the enantiomeric ratios (S/R) in partial metabolic clearance being 7.1, 4.8 and 3.4 for formation of ibuprofen glucuronide, 2-hydroxyibuprofen and carboxyibuprofen respectively.6. Modest stereoselectivity was observed in the formation of (2'R, 2R)- and (2'S, 2S)-carboxyibuprofen in comparison to the alternative diastereoisomers, the ratios in formation clearance being 1.6 and 1.2 respectively.

Abstract
This paper reports the development of a rapid method for the enantioselective analysis of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen in human plasma by capillary electrophoresis employing the anionic cyclodextrin-modified electrokinetic chromatography mode. Sample cleanup was carried out by acidification with HCl followed by liquid-liquid extraction with hexane:isopropanol (99:1 v/v). The complete enantioselective analysis was performed within 10 min, using 100 mmol L(-1) phosphoric acid/triethanolamine buffer, pH 2.6, containing 2.0% w/v sulfated beta-cyclodextrin as chiral selector; fenoprofen, another nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, was used as internal standard. The calibration curves were linear over the concentration range of 0.25-125.0 microg mL(-1) for each enantiomer of ibuprofen. The mean recoveries for ibuprofen enantiomers were up to 85%. The enantiomers studied could be quantified at three different concentrations (0.5, 5.0 and 50.0 microg mL(-1)) with a coefficient of variation and relative error not higher than 15%. The quantitation limit was 0.2 microg mL(-1) for (+)-(S)- and (-)-(R)-ibuprofen using 1 mL of human plasma. The plasma endogenous compounds and other drugs did not interfere with the present assay. The analysis of real plasma samples obtained from a healthy volunteer after administration of 600 mg of racemic ibuprofen showed a maximum plasma level of 29.6 and 39.9 microg mL(-1) of (-)-(R)- and (+)-(S)-ibuprofen, respectively, and the area under plasma concentration-time curve AUC(0-infinity) (+)-(S)/AUC(0-infinity) (-)-(R) ratio was 1.87.

Abstract
Determination of enantiomeric purity is most often done under overload conditions, which leads to deformed peaks. In general, the best resolutions are obtained when the small peak appears before the large peak in the electropherogram. To be able to determine the R(+)-impurity in the S(-)-form as well as the S(-)-impurity in the R(+)-form the elution orders have to be reversed. The present paper describes reversal of enantiomeric elution order for the basic analyte propranolol and the acidic analyte ibuprofen. For propranolol, a charged heptakis-(6-sulfo)-beta-cyclodextrin (CD) is used in the background electrolyte. For ibuprofen, a mix of the charged heptakis-(6-sulfo)-beta-CD and the uncharged heptakis-(2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)-beta-CD is used in the background electrolyte. The use of a coated capillary and reversal of the polarity shift the elution order, buffer composition is unchanged in both cases. The enantiomers of propranolol and ibuprofen are well separated on both the coated and uncoated capillaries. Detection limits of enantiomer impurities are investigated using spiked samples of both propranolol and ibuprofen.

Abstract
In this work, the capability of two polymeric drug delivery systems (DDS) containing racemic ibuprofen (IBU) for controlled release of IBU in different media was studied carrying out assays in-vitro. To quantitatively monitor the release of R(-)- and S(+)-IBU, a fast, sensitive and inexpensive capillary electrophoresis (CE) method was developed. To do this, different chiral selectors, temperatures, buffer compositions and pHs were tested. This new CE method uses bare silica columns together with a buffer containing 6% Dextrin in a 150 mM sodium tetraborate buffer at pH 9. Baseline separations of R(-)- and S(+)-IBU were achieved in less than 5 min at 20 degrees C. By using this method, both enantiomers can be determined at concentrations as low as 1 microg/ml, allowing the detection of enantiomeric percentages of 0.5% of R(-)-IBU in the presence of 99.5% of the optical antipode. Moreover, the method shows a high reproducibility for the same day and different days. The usefulness of this method to quantitatively monitor the release of R(-)- and S(+)-IBU from two different polymeric DDS is demonstrated. It is shown that the release rate of IBU depends on the spacer of the side residue used in the polymeric device. Also, it is demonstrated that the release of both enantiomers is enzymatically activated in rat plasma.

Abstract
In this study both native and chemically modified cyclodextrins (CDs) were investigated as buffer additives to improve the micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MEKC) separation of endogenous bioanalytes in human urine. The following CDs were investigated: alpha, beta, gamma-CDs; hydroxypropyl-alpha-CD, hydroxypropyl-beta-CD, methylated beta-CD, sulphated beta-CD, sulphobutyl ether-beta-CD and hydroxypropyl-gamma-CD. The separations were compared to MEKC without additives. The best improvement in peak resolution and separation of urine components was observed with the sulphated beta-CD. A four-factor three-level full factorial design study was conducted on voltage, temperature, pH and sulphated beta-CD molarity. The optimum conditions were 25 mM sodium tetraborate, pH 9.5, 75 mM sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and 6.25 mM sulphated beta-CD and were able to resolve 70 peaks from a urine pool in 12 min. These optimum conditions have been successfully applied to a number of clinical samples.

Abstract
Enantiospecific analysis has an important role in drug metabolism and pharmacokinetic investigations and its now no longer acceptable to determine total drug, or metabolite, concentrations following the administration of a racemate. Inspite of the fact that capillary electrophoresis (CE) has become an essential technique in pharmaceutical and enantiospecific analysis, the chromatographic methodologies remain the most commonly used approach for the determination of the enantiomeric composition of drugs in biological fluids. The application of CE to bioanalysis has been slow, which is in part associated with the complexity of biological matrices together with the relatively poor concentration limits of detection achievable. However, as a result of its versatility, high separation efficiency, minimal sample requirements, speed of analysis and low consumable expense CE is likely to play an increasingly significant role in the area. This review present an overview of enantiospecific CE in bioanalysis in which the approaches to enantiomeric resolution and the problems associated with biological matrices are briefly discussed. The application of enantiospecific CE to samples of biological origin is illustrated using examples where the methodology has either solved an analytical problem, or provided a useful alternative to the currently available chromatographic methods. Such improvements in methodology are associated with either the high separation efficiency and/or microanalytical capabilities of the technique. Enantiospecific CE will not replace the chromatographic methodologies but does provide the bioanalyst with a useful addition to his armamentarium.

Abstract
This review surveys the separation of enantiomers by capillary electrophoresis using cyclodextrins as chiral selector. Cyclodextrins or their derivatives have been widely employed for the direct chiral resolution of a wide number of enantiomers, mainly of pharmaceutical interest, selected examples are reported in the tables. For method optimisation, several parameters influencing the enantioresolution, e.g., cyclodextrin type and concentration, buffer pH and composition, presence of organic solvents or complexing additives in the buffer were considered and discussed. Finally, selected applications to real samples such as pharmaceutical formulations, biological and medical samples are also discussed.

Abstract
The review summarizes the most recent developments in the field of enantioseparation of chiral drugs using capillary electromigration techniques. The basic principles of enantioseparations in CE are discussed. Recent developments in sample introduction, separation and detection in capillary electrophoresis and capillary electrochromatography are summarized. The applications are arbitrarily divided into the following three groups: (a) racemates and artificial mixtures of enantiomers, (b) drug forms and (c) chiral drugs and their metabolites in biological fluids. Among the various techniques involved the relatively new developments such as CEC in aqueous and nonaqueous buffers, on-line CE-MS coupling, etc. are emphasized.

Abstract
During the past decade, chiral capillary electrophoresis (CE) emerged as a promising, effective and economic approach for the enantioselective determination of drugs in body fluids, hair and microsomal preparations. This review discusses the principles and important aspects of CE-based chiral bioassays, provides a survey of the assays developed and presents an overview of the key achievements encountered. Applications discussed encompass the pharmacokinetics of drug enantiomers, the elucidation of the stereoselectivity of drug metabolism and bioanalysis of drug enantiomers of toxicological and forensic interest.

Abstract
This paper is a comprehensive review article on capillary electrophoresis (CE) in clinical and forensic analysis. It is based upon the literature of 1997 and 1998, presents CE examples in major fields of application, and provides an overview of the key achievements encountered, including those associated with the analysis of drugs, serum proteins, hemoglobin variants, and nucleic acids. For CE in clinical and forensic analysis, the past two years witnessed a breakthrough to routine applications. As most coauthors of this review are associated with diagnostic or forensic laboratories now using CE on a routine basis, this review also contains data from routine applications in drug, protein, and DNA analysis. With the first-hand experience of providing analytical service under stringent quality control conditions, aspects of quality assurance, assay specifications for clinical and forensic CE and the pros and cons of this maturing, cost-and pollution-controlled age technology are also discussed.

Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) was used for the analysis of nonopioid analgesics and their metabolites directly in urine samples. A simple, reliable screening method was developed that allows identification of the drug and/or its metabolites in urine after oral application of paracetamol, acetylsalicylic acid, antipyrine, ibuprofen, naproxen, ketoprofen and propyphenazone by their migration in CE and by their UV spectra recorded with a diode-array detector in a common CE-UV system with 50 mM borax pH 9.4 as separation buffer. For the CE-electrospray (ESI)-MS coupling a volatile 50 mM ammonium acetate buffer at pH 9.8 was used. In order to analyze the metabolic pattern in more detail different methods were developed for each drug. The separation of the metabolites of acetylsalicylic acid could be improved by injection of the urine sample at the cathodic side of the capillary. In order to identify antipyrine as neutral compound as well as its neutral metabolites-a micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) method was developed.
