Abstract This study was designed to enable the development of a simple, fast, and environmentally friendly analytical technique utilizing dispersive liquid‐liquid microextraction based on surface floating organic droplets for selective and quantitative enrichment of trace level pesticide contaminants from different fruit juice samples for subsequent detection by high performance liquid chromatography, combined with a diode array detector. The selective extraction was necessitated in order to isolate the seven multiclass pesticide residues frequently occurring in fruit juice samples. The effects of experimental parameters such as pH of sample solution, type and volume of extraction and dispersive solvents, ionic strength and extraction time were optimized. The optimized method was validated using spiked blank sample and satisfactory results for accuracy, with recoveries ranging from 87.23% to 99.45%, with %relative standard deviation between 1.37 and 8.39, precision in terms of %relative standard deviation ≤ 10.78 and linearity at concentration levels from 3 to 1500 ng/ml, which corresponded with correlation coefficients ≥ 0.998. The limits of detection and the limits of quantification were ranged from 1.3×10 −2 to 5.3×10 −2 and 4.2×10 −2 to 1.8×10 −1 μg/L, respectively. At the end, the method was successfully applied to analyze real fruit juice samples and target analytes were not detected in real samples.

Abstract Isosorbide dinitrate and hydralazine hydrochloride tablets are approved for the treatment of heart failure, prolonged hospitalization for heart failure, and enhanced patient‐reported functional status. It has been administered orally. Isosorbide dinitrate and hydralazine hydrochloride tablets contained two additional major unknown peaks (Degradation Product 1 and Degradation Product 2) in the stability studies (25°C/60% relative humidity and 40°C/75% relative humidity). These two unknown degradation peaks formed due to the heat (thermal) and humidity stress of hydralazine hydrochloride. Liquid chromatography separated these unknown degradant peaks. Initially, liquid chromatography‐mass spectrometry assessed the degradation pathways and mass of two degradants. Afterward, preparative‐liquid chromatography isolated the two major unknown degradation impurities formed under heat (thermal) and humidity stress conditions. Further, to confirm the structures, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy evaluated these two degradants. The liquid chromatography‐mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectral data confirmed that the two degradation impurities are hydralazine lactosone ring‐opened adduct (Degradation Product 1) and s‐triazolo [3,4‐α] phthalazine (Degradation Product 2).

Abstract Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) is known as a polymer with special adsorption properties for polyphenolic compounds. In this paper, chemical‐bonded stationary phase (PVP@Silica) was prepared and applied to the separation of flavonoids. System constants determined by linear solvation energy relationships with methanol–water mixtures as the mobile show that the column can provide stronger hydrogen bonding and π–π interaction than C18 column. Under reversed‐phase conditions, traditional flavonoids have much longer retention on PVP@Silica than on C18 column with methanol–water mobile phase due to multimodal retention mechanism, including hydrogen bonding and π–π interaction. In addition, a U‐shaped retention curve was observed in acetonitrile–water mobile phase because of the enhanced hydrogen bonding under the high proportion of acetonitrile. The selectivity to polyhydroxy structure gives the stationary phase unique separation ability for flavonoids. The separation orthogonality was further investigated by a sample set containing 33 flavonoids with different substitution structures. The (RP‐PVP@Silica)‐(RP‐C18) system exhibited 60% orthogonality metric (OM) for these flavonoids with methanol–water mobile phase. A high OM of 63.5% was achieved in (RP‐PVP@Silica)‐(HILIC‐PVP@Silica) system. Finally, PVP@Silica was applied to the purification of total flavonoids in Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE). The offline (RP‐PVP@Silica)‐(RP‐C18) two‐dimensional separation system was used for the analysis of flavonoids in GBE.
