Scientists Zhi-Min Long, Kai-Shun Bi, Yan-Shuang Huo, Xiao-Yu Yan, Xu Zhao, and Xiao-Hui Chen at Shenyang Pharmaceutical University, (Shenyang, China) developed and validated a sensitive and efficient liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) method for the simultaneous determination of geniposide 6a-hydroxygeniposide, and genipin gentiobioside in rat plasma.
Scientists Zhi-Min Long, Kai-Shun Bi, Yan-Shuang Huo, Xiao-Yu Yan, Xu Zhao, and Xiao-Hui Chen at Shenyang Pharmaceutical University, (Shenyang, China) developed and validated a sensitive and efficient liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) method for the simultaneous determination of geniposide 6α-hydroxygeniposide, and genipin gentiobioside in rat plasma.
After the addition of internal standard salidroside and acidification (formic acid, 0.1%), plasma samples were carried out by protein precipitation with acetonitrile and separated on a C18 column (200 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm) within a runtime of 15.0 min. The linear ranges were 2–250 ng/mL for both 6α-hydroxygeniposide and genipin gentiobioside and 2–2000 ng/mL for geniposide, respectively.
The validated method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetics study of geniposide, 6α-hydroxygeniposide, and genipin gentiobioside in rats after oral administration of a Zhi-zi-chi (gardenia and prepared soybean) decoction.
The abstract was published in the October 2011 issue of Journal of Separation Science, Volume 34, pp 2854-2860.
Characterization and Assessment of Effects of Drying Temperature on Edible Mushrooms with HS-GC–MS
September 6th 2024To gain insight into the effect of drying temperature on its composition, headspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC–MS) was used for the identification of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of 86 mushroom samples that were divided into five groups and dried at different temperatures.
Modern HPLC Strategies: Improving Retention and Peak Shape for Basic Analytes
August 16th 2024In high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), it is common for bases and unreacted ionized silanols on silica-based columns to cause irreproducible retention, broad peaks, and peak tailing when working with basic analytes. David S. Bell, Lead Consultant at ASKkPrime LLC offers innovative HPLC strategies that can help mitigate such issues.
Real-Time Measurement of EPA Regulated HON Compounds and Environmental Pollutants Using SIFT-MS
September 6th 2024This application note describes the determination of method detection limits (MDLs) for the newly regulated HON (Hazardous Organic NESHAP) compounds, which validate SIFT-MS as an effective solution for measuring these toxic VOCs and other environmental pollutants in ambient air, whether at the fence line or in a mobile setting.
