It was found that 20 amino acids could inhibit the intensity of the luminol-H_2O_2-CuSO_4 chemiluminescence system.Using this character,a rapid and sensitive method for the determination of 20 amino acids was developed with flow injection coupled with chemiluminescence detection.Under the optimal conditions,the detection limits of 20 amino acids were in the range of 4.5×10^(-7)- 4.3×10^(-10) mol/L,and the relative standard deviations were less than 3.2%.The proposed method was successfully applied to drug analysis.The possible mechanism was also discussed.
A new and simple capillary electrophoresis with electrochemiluminescence detection was developed for the separation and the quantification of a pair of diastereoisomenc alkaloids(ephedrine and pseudoephedrine).The limits of detection(S/N = 3) were 4.5×10^-8 mol/L for ephedrine and 5.2×10^-8 mol/L for pseudoephedrine,respectively.The RSDs of migration time and peak area were less than 1.3 and 2.5%(n = 5),respectively.The applicability of the propose method was illustrated in the determination of ephedrine and pseudoephedrine in human urine,ephedrine in nasal drops,and the monitoring of pharmacokinetics for pseudoephedrine.
