  Liquid-phase microextraction (LPME) is a sample preparation technique based on disposable polypropylene hollow fibres, which results in efficient sample clean-up and high preconcentration. The present paper describes the combination of LPME with LC-MS utilising electrospray ionisation for high sensitivity. Nine antidepressant drugs were extracted from 50 or 500 µl of plasma or whole blood samples, through a thin layer of dodecyl acetate immobilised in the pores of the hollow fibre and into 15 µl of 200 mM formic acid as acceptor solution inside the hollow fibre. Analyte recoveries in the range 12-68 % and 9-52 % were obtained from 50 µl of plasma and whole blood respectively. The acceptor solution (15 µl) was diluted with 60 µl of 5 mM ammonium formate pH=2.7 prior to injection into the LC-MS system. The system was qualitatively investigated for matrix effects utilising a post-column infusion system. Whole blood from 5 different persons were cleaned-up by LPME and injected onto the analytical column while a solution of the 9 model compounds was continuously infused post-column. No signs of ion suppression were seen for any of the model compounds. Limits of quantification (S/N=10) were in the low ng/ml area for 6 of the 9 model compounds utilising a sample volume of only 50 µl of whole blood. The repeatability of the extractions was investigated utilising paroxetine as internal standard. Acceptable RSDs (%) were obtained (< 20%)for 5 of the antidepressants. By increasing the sample volume from 50 to 500 µl of whole blood RSDs below 20 % (3-16 %) were seen.

  A disposable device for liquid-phase microextraction (LPME) based on porous polypropylene hollow fibres has recently been introduced. In the present paper, LPME was combined with capillary electrophoresis (CE)and the combination was for the first time evaluated for chiral determination of drugs in biological matrices. The chiral antidepressant drug mianserin was selected as model compound. The mianserin enantiomers were extracted from 0.5 ml of plasma added internal standard and made alkaline with 0.25 ml of 2 M NaOH. The unionised analytes were extracted into di-n-hexyl ether impregnated in the pores of the hollow fibre, and into an acidic solution inside the hollow fibre. This resulted in a three-phase system where the extracts were aqueous, and hence directly compatible with the CE system. Efficient sample clean-up was seen and the extraction recovery was 80% for both enantiomers. Discrimination between the enantiomers in the extraction system was not observed. The limit of quantitation (S/N=10; 12.5 ng/ml for both enantiomers) and the limit of detection (S/N=3; 4 ng/ml for both enantiomers) were below the therapeutic range for mianserin. The method was validated and successfully applied to determine R- and S-mianserin in plasma samples from seven patients treated with mianserin, indicating that LPME¿CE is a promising combination for analysis of racemic drugs present in low concentrations in biological matrices.

  A newly developed disposable device for liquid-phase microextraction (LPME) was evaluated for the capillary electrophoresis (CE) of the antidepressant drug citalopram (CIT) and its main metabolite N-desmethylcitalopram (DCIT) in human plasma. CIT and DCIT were extracted from 1 ml plasma samples through hexyl ether immobilised in the pores of a porous polypropylene hollow fibre and into 25 µl of 20 mM phosphate buffer (pH 2.75) present inside the hollow fibre (acceptor phase). Prior to extraction, the samples were made strongly alkaline in order to promote LPME of the basic drugs. Owing to the high ratio between the volumes of sample and acceptor phase, and owing to high partition coefficients, CIT and DCIT were enriched by a factor of 25 to 30. In addition, sample clean-up occurred during LPME since salts, proteins, and the majority of endogenic substances were unable to penetrate the hexyl ether layer. Since the extracts were aqueous, they were injected directly into the CE instrument. Limits of quantification (S/N=10) for CIT and DCIT in plasma were 16.5 ng/ml and 18 ng/ml respectively, while the limits of detection (S/N=3) were 5 ng/ml and 5.5 ng/ml respectively. This enabled CIT (and DCIT) to be analysed within the therapeutic range by LPME-CE and detection limits were comparable with previously reported HPLC methods.

  Recently, we introduced a simple and inexpensive disposable device for liquid-phase microextraction (LPME) based on porous polypropylene hollow fibres. In the present paper, extraction times were significantly reduced by an increase of the surface of the hollow fibres. The model compounds methamphetamine and citalopram, were extracted from 2.5 ml of urine, plasma, and whole blood after dilution with water and alkalisation with 125 µl of 2M NaOH though a porous polypropylene hollow fibre impregnated with hexyl ether and into an aqueous acceptor phase consisting of 0.1 M HCl. Two commercially available hollow fibres, which differed in surface area, wall thickness and internal diameter, were compared. An increase in the contact area of the hollow fibre with the sample solution by a factor of approximately two resulted in reduction in equilibrium times by approximately the same factor. Thus, the model compounds were extracted to equilibrium within 15 minutes from both urine and plasma, and within 30 minutes from whole blood. For the first time LPME was utilised to extract drugs from whole blood, and the extracts were comparable with plasma both with regard to sample clean-up and extraction recoveries.

  Liquid-phase microextraction based on polypropylene hollow fibres was combined with flow-injection tandem mass spectrometry for rapid screening of drugs in biological matrices. Amphetamine and analogues were utilised as model compounds. These drugs were extracted from 0.5 ml samples of whole blood or urine. The samples were made alkaline with 0.5 ml of 1 M NaOH. The uncharged analytes were then extracted through a hollow fibre impregnated with dihexyl ether into 25 µl of 0.01 M HCl inside the hollow fibre. Parallel extraction of 20-30 samples was performed for 15 minutes. After extraction 20 µl of the extract was injected directly into the flow-injection tandem mass spectrometry system. Atmospheric pressure ionisation opereated in the positive mode was used as ion spray. All analytes were detected simultaneously after 0.1 min, utilising a combination of selected ion monitoring mass spectrometry and selected reaction monitoring tandem mass spectrometry. Limits of detection (S/N=5) varied between the compounds and were estimated to 2-100 ng/ml in urine and 0.4-14 ng/ml in whole blood. Comparison of injection of pure acceptor solution with urine and whole blood extracts demonstrated the efficient sample clean-up by LPME. Ion suppression due to matrix effects was not seen, rendering LPME-FIA-APCI-MS-MS a promising alternative for rapid screening of drugs in biological matrices.

  Kirale legemidler blir i de fleste tilfeller gitt som racemater selv om de to enantiomere formene har forskjellig farmakologisk virkning, terapeutisk effekt og metabolisme. Optimalisering av hurtige kirale analyser med høy effektivitet og oppløsning er derfor viktig slik at kiral terapikontroll kan utføres og de ulike enantiomerenes farmakologiske egenskaper samt enantiomer renhet av kirale legemidler i farmasøytiske formuleringer kan studeres. Til nå har kromatografiske metoder vært mest utbredt i stereospesifikk legemiddel monitorering, men ved bruk av disse teknikkene er man avhengig av relativt dyre kirale stasjonærfaser. I løpet av de siste årene har kapillær elektroforese (CE) vist seg å være en teknikk som gir billige kirale analyser med høy effektivitet og oppløsning. Metoden gir i tillegg høy selektivitet og analysetidene er korte. CE er derfor et godt alternativ i kiral analyse. Ulempen er at man ikke har kunnet benytte CE til terapeutisk legemiddel monitorering da teknikken har for høye deteksjons- og kvantifiseringsgrenser. Væskefasemikroekstraksjon (LPME) er en relativt ny prøveopparbeidelsesteknikk som er spesielt godt egnet i kombinasjon med CE. Analytter blir ekstrahert fra en biologisk prøve gjennom en porøs hulfiber impregnert med organsikk løsningsmiddel og inn i en akseptorfase på innsiden av fiberen. Denne akseptorfasen er vandig i kombinasjon med CE, og ekstraktet kan dermed injiseres direkte i CE-apparatet. Det resulterende tre-fase systemet ved LPME gir spesielt god opprensing av prøvene. På grunn av en stor volumforskjell mellom prøveløsningen (0.5-4 ml) og akseptorfasen (25 µl) er det mulighet for høy oppkonsentrering av legemidlene. Denne høye oppkonsentreringen og den effektive prøveopprensingen sammen med fordelene av CE i kiral analyse gjør LPME/CE til en god kombinasjon ved kiral terapikontroll. I dette prosjektet ble det utviklet en metode hvor mianserinenantiomerene ble oppkonsentrert fra 0.5 ml plasma gjennom en hulfiber impregnert med heksyleter og inn i en akseptorfase bestående av 0.01 M HCl. Den enantiomere separasjonen ble utført ved bruk av hydroxypropyl-&#946;-cyclodekstrin som kiral selektor. Metoden ble validert og brukt til å bestemme R- og S-mianserin i plasmaprøver fra 7 pasienter behandlet med racemisk mianserin. Resultatene viste ulik hastighet av metabolismen til enantiomerene. Alle pasientene hadde høyest konsentrasjon av den mest aktive enantimeren, S-mianserin. I tillegg kunne man se at konsentrasjonen av S-mianserins hovedmetabolitt var tilsvarende lavere i forhold til konsentrasjonen av R-mianserins hovedmetabolitt.

  Chiral drugs are usually administered as racemates although the two enantiomers often exhibit different behaviour in terms of pharmacological action and therapeutic efficiency. The optimisation of fast enantioselective analytical methods offering high efficiency and resolution is, therefore, important for the study of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of racemic drugs, and to control the enantiomeric purity of pharmaceutical preparations. In the present work a relatively new sample preparation technique called liquid-phase microextraction was combined with capillary electrophoresis, and the combination was evaluated for chiral determination of drugs in biological matrices. The antidepressant drug mianserin was chosen as a model compound. Mianserin is a chiral drug administered as a racemic mixture. The two enantiomers of mianserin exhibit different degree of antidepressant activity, the S-enantiomer being significantly more active than the R-enantiomer. The mianserin enantiomers were extracted from 0.5 ml of plasma samples made alkaline with NaOH, through a thin phase of hexyl ether inside the pores of a polypropylene hollow fibre, and finally into a 25 µl acidic solution inside the hollow fibre. Following sample clean-up and preconcentration by liquid-phase microextraction, the acceptor solutions were analyzed by capillary electrophoresis. The enantiomeric separation was performed using a cyclodextrin as the chiral selector. The method was validated and successfully applied to determine R- and S-mianserin in plasma samples from seven patients treated with mianserin. The results indicate that liquid-phase microextraction combined with capillary electrophoresis is a promising tool for analysis of racemic drugs present in low concentrations in biological matrices.

  Many drugs used to treat psychiatric disorders contain one or more chiral centres. Most chiral drugs are available as the racemate, in which equal proportions of the two enantiomers are administered concurrently, although the two enantiomers may exhibit different pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties. Mianserin and citalopram are examples of chiral antidepressant drugs currently marketed as racemic mixtures, despite the fact that pharmacological activity reside primarily in one enantiomer. The S-enantiomer of both mianserin and citalopram are more active than the corresponding R-enantiomers. In the present project, stereospecific drug monitoring of mianserin and citalopram was accomplished by liquid-phase microextraction (LPME) combined with capillary electrophoresis (CE). Determinations of enantiomer concentrations of mianserin and citalopram were done in plasma from patients treated with racemic mianserin or citalopram. The results showed stereoselectivity in the metabolism of both mianserin and citalopram. A variation in the enantiomer ratio of both drugs was observed. No significant correlation between the administered dose and resulting plasma concentration could be demonstrated. The results suggest that separate determination of each enantiomer reflects antidepressant activity better than determination of the total mianserin or citalopram concentration.

  In the present work, the potential of liquid-phase microextraction (LPME) combined with capillary zone electrophoresis(CZE) for the chiral monitoring of drugs in human plasma was evaluated. Mianserin and citalopram were selected as model drugs which are administered as racemates, and the concentration leves studied where within the range from 10 to 1000 ng/ml (which included the therapeutic levels). By LPME, the drugs were extracted from 0.5 ml of plasma through an organic liquid (typically di-hexyl ether) immobilised in the pores of a small porous polypropylene hollow fibre and into a small acceptor solution of 25 µl 10 mM HCl inside the lumen of the hollow fibre. Subsequently, the acceptor phase was directly subjected to analysis by CZE utilising different charged cyclodextrins as chiral selectors. With LPME, the drugs were preconcentrated by a factor 15 to 20 which enabled their detection down to the 5-10 ng/ml level by CZE with UV-detection. In addition, the three-phase nature of LPME ensured very high clean-up from plasma eliminating most potential interferences. In conclusion, the high analyte enrichment of LPME was successfully combined with the excellent chiral resolving power of CZE and enabled rapid determinations of drugs in human plasma an the low ng/ml level.

  We have recently presented a novel extraction method, known as liquid-phase microextraction (LPME) for extraction of trace level of pharmaceuticals from biological matrices (1-2). The protocol utilises organic liquid membranes supported on porous hollow fibres and operates in the static mode. The technique can handle sample volumes ranging from 0.5-5.0 ml with pharmaceutical concentrations of 1.0 ng or less. It makes use of extraction liquid volumes of 0.025 ml, which facilitates analyte enrichments of several orders of magnitude. It is compatible with gas chromatography (GC), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and capillary electrophoresis (CE). Extraction times range from 15 to 30 minutes and extracts can be injected directly into CE, LC and LC-MS systems without further manipulation. Whole blood, serum, plasma or urine samples can be analysed without any pre-treatment. In the current, communication, parameters that can be varied to impart selectivity on the extraction process are discussed. Making use of a host of acidic and basic pharmaceuticals and their metabolites the selective extraction of specific analytes is demonstrated.

  A novel extraction method, known as liquid-phase microextraction (LPME) for extraction of trace level of pharmaceuticals from biological matrices has recently been introduced (1-2). Organic liquid membranes are supported on porous hollow fibres and the system is operated in the static mode. The technique is well suited for sample volumes of 0.5-4.0 ml containing pharmaceutical concentrations in the low ng/ml-region. It makes use of extraction liquid volumes of 0.015-0.025 ml, which facilitates analyte enrichments of several orders of magnitude. It is compatible with gas chromatography (GC), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and capillary electrophoresis (CE). Extraction time range from 15 to 30 minutes and extracts can be injected directly into CE, LC and LC-MS systems without further manipulation. Whole blood, serum, plasma or urine samples can be analysed without any pre-treatment. In the current communication, the combination of LPME and LC-MS is discussed with respect to selectivity and efficiency. The combination has been evaluated by determination and quantification of 9 antidepressant drugs in plasma. LPME of the plasma samples was performed for 30 minutes, and a volatile extraction liquid (formic acid) was used. The following analysis of the extracts by LC-MS demonstrated the high selectivity and efficient sample clean-up of the extraction system, two important parameters in reducing the possibilities of ion suppression in ESI-MS.

  Kort tid tilbake ble en ny prøveopparbeidelsesteknikk introdusert (1). Denne teknikken, kalt væskefasemikroekstraksjon (LPME), er basert på porøse polypropylen hulfibre og kan benyttes i kombinasjon med gasskromatografi (GC), væskekromatografi (HPLC) og kapillærelektroforese (CE). Analyttene ekstraheres fra små prøver med biologisk materiale gjennom en porøs hulfiber impregnert med organisk løsningsmiddel og videre inn i hulrommet inni hulfiberen hvor det er plassert en akseptorfase. Både sure, basiske og nøytrale stoffer kan opparbeides ved hjelp av LPME. Stor volumforskjell mellom prøveløsningen (1-4 ml) og akseptorløsningen (25 µl) gir mulighet for høy oppkonsentrering av analyttene så fremt fordelingskoeffesienten mellom fasene er høy. Løsningsmiddelforbruket er lavt da kun et lite volum (~15 µl) impregneres i hulfiberen. Carry-over effekter unngås da de enkelte ekstraksjonsenhetene kun benyttes en gang. Et stort antall prøver kan ekstraheres parallelt. Teknikken er benyttet til å oppkonsentrere og opprense legemidler fra både urin, plasma og fullblod. Prøveopparbeidelse ved bruk av LPME har vist seg å gi svært rene ekstrakter. Det er ikke nødvendig med forbehandling av fullblod før ekstraksjon. I denne presentasjonen vil fokus bli rettet mot de siste utviklingene av teknikken. (1) K.E.Rasmussen, S.Pedersen-Bjergaard, M.Krogh, H.G.Ugland and T.Grønhaug, J. Chromatogr. A, 873 (2000) 3.

  The combination of liquid-phase microextraction (LPME), a recently developed sample preparation technique [1], with capillary electrophoresis (CE), resulted in a powerful method for the determination of mianserin enantiomers in plasma. CE provides chiral analysis with high efficiency, resolution and selectivity at a low cost. However, relatively high detection limits have restricted the use of chiral CE in therapeutic drug monitoring where only small amounts of sample are available. LPME is a sample preparation technique especially suitable for combination with CE. In LPME analytes are extracted from biological matrices through a porous polypropylene hollow fibre impregnated with an organic solvent and into an acceptor phase, which is aqueous in combination with CE. This three-phase system results in efficient sample clean-up. A large volume difference between the sample solution (0.5-4 ml) and the acceptor solution (25 µl) results in high preconcentration. High preconcentration and efficient sample clean-up together with the advantages of CE in chiral analysis makes LPME/CE an ideal combination for enantiomeric separations. In this project, mianserin enantiomers were extracted from 0.5 ml of plasma samples, through a hollow fibre impregnated with hexyl ether and into an acceptor phase consisting of 0.01 M HCl. The enantiomeric separation was performed using hydroxypropyl-&#946;-cyclodextrin as the chiral selector. The method was validated and used for determination of R- and S-mianserin in plasma samples from 7 patients treated with mianserin.

  Liquid-phase microextraction (LPME) utilising polypropylene hollow fibres in a simple and inexpensive device have recently been introduced (1). The technique is compatible with gas chromatography (GC), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and capillary electrophoresis (CE). Analytes are extracted from biological matrices through a porous hollow fibre impregnated with an organic solvent and into an acceptor phase. LPME is applicable to acidic, basic and neutral substances. The combination of a large volume difference between the sample (1-4 ml) and the acceptor solution (25 µl) and high partition coefficients enables high preconcentration. In addition, extraction to equilibrium ensures high extraction recoveries. The technique has a low solvent consumption and carry-over effects are eliminated due to disposable extraction devices. In addition, a large number of different samples may be extracted in parallel providing a high number of samples per unit time capacity. High selectivity has been achieved when extractions have been performed from different biological matrices (urine, plasma and whole blood), and extractions from whole blood requires no extra pretreatment compared with extractions from other biological matrices. LPME hence combines high extraction efficiency with simple and inexpensive extraction device and is therefore a promising technique.
