A new analytical method for the separation and determination of R-(-)- and S-(+)- baclofen enantiomers in human plasma by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV detection was developed. Enantioselective resolution of the baclofen enantiomers was achieved by using teicoplanin macrocyclic antibiotic chiral stationary phase (CSP) known as Chirobiotic T with a polar ionic mobile phase (PIM)...
This paper presents Chemically Activated LUciferine gene eXpression (CALUX) TEQ-values obtained for nine plasma samples following two different purification procedures, one of them involving fractionation. CALUX results obtained for the dioxin (DX) and dioxin + PCB (DX + PCB) fractions were then compared to the GC-HRMS TEQ-values calculated for the 17 polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated...
Following the dioxin crisis of 1999, several studies were conducted to assess the impact of this crisis on the dioxin body burden in the Belgian population. The Scientific Institute of Public Health identified a population from whom plasma samples were available and from whom, during the follow up survey, plasma samples were obtained in 2000. In total, 496 samples were collected for GC-HRMS and CALUX...
A chemometric approach was applied for the optimization of the extraction and separation of the antihypertensive drug eprosartan from human plasma samples. MultiSimplex program was used to optimize the HPLC-UV method due to the number of experimental and response variables to be studied. The measured responses were the corrected area, the separation of eprosartan chromatographic peak from plasma interferences...

A novel, fast and simple liquid chromatographic method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of rosiglitazone and metformin in human plasma. The analysis was performed on a phenyl column (250mm×4.6mm i.d., 5μm) using a gradient method starting with mobile phase composed of acetonitrile:5mM acetate buffer pH 5.5 (75:25, v/v). The flow rate was 1mLmin −1 . UV detection...
An adsorptive differential pulse stripping method for the simultaneous determination of morphine and noscapine is proposed. The procedure involves an adsorptive accumulation of morphine and noscapine on a hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE), followed by oxidation of adsorbed morphine and noscapine by voltammetric scan using differential pulse modulation. The optimum experimental conditions are:...
A simple and reliable analytical electrophoretic method using chiral capillary electrophoresis (CCE) with a high-sensitivity cell of special design has been established for simultaneous determination of (+)-catechin (C) and (−)-epicatechin (EC) in aqueous and human plasma media. The application of a capillary with high-sensitivity cell has led to an improvement of 10-fold and 5-fold time-corrected...
An on-line solid-phase extraction (SPE)-HPLC method was developed for simultaneous screening of nicardipine and amlodipine in human plasma. A short monolithic poly(glycidyl methacrylate-co-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) [p(GMA-EDMA)]-based weak cation-exchange (WCX) column was prepared and employed as the selective extraction sorbent, which exhibited good permeability and biocompatibility. During...
A fast and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the determination in human plasma of MHPG (3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylethylenglycol) and VMA (vanillyl mandelic acid), the main metabolites of epinephrine and norepinephrine.

Selective extraction of low molecular weight (LMW) proteins and peptides from complex biological samples plays an important role in the discovery of useful biomarkers and signaling molecules. Various methods, such as solid-phase extraction (SPE), ultrafiltration, and size-exclusion chromatography have been developed for such extraction purpose. In this study, we present, to our knowledge, the first...
Promising profiling techniques based on new material/solid phase extraction for capturing “molecular signatures” from body fluids are being coupled to MALDI-TOF-MS.

The first use of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) for the rapid, simple, and selective determination of homocysteine (Hcy) levels in human plasma was studied. Hcy and five other amino acids, including cysteine (Cys), could be distinguished by their different aggregation kinetics, which caused a change in the visible color and a shift in the UV–vis absorption spectra. The difference in the cross-linking...
