Background: A dispersive liquid liquid microextraction based on the solidification of a floating organic droplet was developed and validated for the extraction of propranolol enantiomers from human plasma. The studied enantiomers were extracted from diluted and alkalized plasma samples using I-undecanol as the extracting solvent. HPLC fluorescence detection analyses were carried out on a chiral column, using n-hexane ethanol (80:20, v/v) plus 0.2% triethylamine as the mobile phase, at a flow rate of 0.8 ml/min. The significant factors in the microextraction procedure, including extracting and disperser solvents volume, solution pH and salt contents were optimized by using a central composite design and the response surface methodology. Results: Under optimized conditions, the mean recoveries were approximately 14% with linear responses over the 0.5-100 ng/ml concentration range for both enantiomers. The LOQ was 0.5 ng/ml (S/N = 10). Intra-day (n = 5) and inter-day (n = 3) assay precision (I and 50 ng/ml) showed RSD lower than 8 and 9.5% for studied enantiomers, respectively. Finally, the method was successfully used for the determination of propranolol enantiomers in plasma samples obtained after single drug administration of racemic propranolol tablet to three healthy volunteers. The plasmatic concentrations of (-)-(S)-PROP were higher than those of (+)-(R)-PROP in all times after oral administration of the racemic drug. Conclusion: The obtained results proved that the proposed method is a powerful technique for sample preparation, providing suitable recoveries, efficient cleanup, high selectivity and sensitivity and low consumption of organic solvent for determination of the studied enantiomers in plasma samples after oral administration of the racemic drug to volunteers.

Highly selective Hg2+ colorimetric sensor using green synthesized and unmodified silver nanoparticles Farhadi, Khalil; Forough, Mehrdad; Molaei, Rahim; Hajizadeh, Salahaddin; Rafipour, Aysan (2012-01-01) The reaction between biologically green synthesized silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) and mercury (II) ions was introduced as a new and high potential calorimetric sensor for the selective recognition and monitoring of mercuric ions in aqueous samples. The green synthesized silver nanoparticles were characterized with surface plasmon resonance (SPR) ultraviolet spectroscopy (UV-vis), SEM and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) techniques. The fresh biologically synthesized silver nanoparticles are yellowish-brown ...
SUPERCRITICAL-FLUID EXTRACTION OF CARBOXYLIC AND FATTY-ACIDS FROM AGARICUS SPP MUSHROOMS ABDULLAH, MI; YOUNG, JC; GAMES, DE (American Chemical Society (ACS), 1994-03-01) Material obtained by the CO2 supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) of the wild and cultivated mushrooms Agaricus silvicola and Agaricus bisporus, respectively, was analyzed by g chromatography (GC)-mass spectrometry and GC-Fourier transform infrared spectrometry. SFE gave results comparable with classical extraction techniques for free fatty acids and esters but with fewer manipulative steps and also resulted in the characterization of acids not previously reported from these sources. The organic acids ident...
Palladium nanoparticles supported on chemically derived graphene: An efficient and reusable catalyst for the dehydrogenation of ammonia borane Metin, Onder; Kayhan, Emine; Özkar, Saim; Schneider, Jorg J. (2012-05-01) Chemically derived graphene (CDG) was prepared by hydrazine hydrate reduction of graphene oxide and used as support for palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) generated ex situ with controllable particle size and dispersion. The Pd NPs supported on CDG were well characterized by using a combination of advance analytical techniques and employed as catalyst in the dehydrogenation and hydrolysis of ammonia borane (AB) in organic solvents and aqueous solutions, respectively. Monodisperse Pd NPs of 4.5 nm were prepare...
Experimental characterizations of the response of nematic liquid crystal droplets upon adsorption of nanoparticles from aqueous media Şengül, Selin; Büküşoğlu, Emre; Aydoğan, Nihal; Department of Chemical Engineering (2021-9-08) Nematic liquid crystal (LC) droplets have been widely used for the detection of molecular species. In this study, we investigated the response of micrometer sized nematic LC droplets against the adsorption of nanoparticles from aqueous media. In the first part of this study, we synthesized ~100 nm-in-diameter silica nanoparticles and modified their surfaces to mediate either planar or homeotropic LC anchoring and a pH-dependent charge. Secondly, we carried out the adsorption of nanoparticles to the LC-aqueo...
Synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles elaborated by microemulsion method Yildirim, Ozlem Altintas; Durucan, Caner (2010-09-17) Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were synthesized by a reverse microemulsion system formed from sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate (Aerosol OT, or AOT):glycerol:n-heptane. The zinc precursor was zinc acetate dihydrate. The formation of ZnO nanoparticles was achieved by calcination of premature zinc glycerolate microemulsion product in air at 300, 400 and 500 degrees C. The crystal structure and the morphology of the ZnO nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron micr...
