Quantitation of repaglinide and metabolites in mouse whole-body thin tissue sections using droplet-based liquid microjunction surface sampling-high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry

Herein, quantitation aspects of a fully automated autosampler/HPLC-MS/MS system applied for unattended droplet-based surface sampling of repaglinide dosed thin tissue sections with subsequent HPLC separation and mass spectrometric analysis of parent drug and various drug metabolites was studied. Major organs (brain, lung, liver, kidney, muscle) from whole-body thin tissue sections and corresponding organ homogenates prepared from repaglinide dosed mice were sampled by surface sampling and by bulk extraction, respectively, and analyzed by HPLC-MS/MS. A semi-quantitative agreement between data obtained by surface sampling and that by employing organ homogenate extraction was observed. Drug concentrations obtained by the two methods followed the same patterns for post-dose time points (0.25, 0.5, 1 and 2 h). Drug amounts determined in the specific tissues was typically higher when analyzing extracts from the organ homogenates. Furthermore, relative comparison of the levels of individual metabolites between the two analytical methods also revealed good semi-quantitative agreement.

Extraction chromatography of 225 Ac and lanthanides on N,N-dioctyldiglycolamic acid /1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide solvent impregnated resin

The alpha-emitter 225 Ac (t 1/2 = 9.92 d) is currently under development for targeted alpha-particle therapy of cancer, and accelerator production of 225 Ac via proton irradiation of thorium targets requires robust separations of 225 Ac from chemically similar fission product lanthanides. Additionally, the lanthanide elements represent critical components in modern technologies, and radiolanthanides such as 140 Nd (t 1/2 = 3.37 d) also have potential application in the field of nuclear medicine. The ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([Bmim][NTf 2 ]), combined with the diglycolamide extractant, N,N-dioctyldiglycolamic acid (DODGAA), was adsorbed on macroporous resin support to produce a solvent impregnated resin (SIR) that was investigated for separations of 225 Ac and lanthanides. The equilibrium distribution coefficients (Kd) of the rare earth elements (Sc(III), Y(III), Ln(III)), 225 Ac(III), Th(IV), and U(VI) on the prepared DODGAA/[Bmim][NTf 2 ]-SIR were determined from batch adsorption experiments in HCl and HNO 3 media. The DODGAA/[Bmim][NTf2]-SIR exhibited preferential uptake of the heavier lanthanide elements while allowing for the separation of the lighter lanthanides. Column separations utilizing the DODGAA/[Bmim][NTf 2 ]-SIR were effective at separating the lighter lanthanides from each other, and separating 225 Ac from a mixture of lanthanides, 213 Bi, and 225 Ra without the need for additional complexing agents.
