Abstract [en]

An Online post-column solvent-assisted ionization (OPSAI) method was developed for enhancing the ionization of the beta-blocker propranolol utilizing normal phase LC-MS/MS. Solvent-assisted electrospray ionization (SAESI) was studied by the introduction of the assistant solvents A: 0.5% Formic acid in Isopropanolol, B: 0.5% Formic acid in lsopropanolol-Water (1:1), and C: 0.5% Formic acid in water into the electrospray ionization chamber using a spray needle. Analyte molecules can be directly ionized by the aid of the assistant solvent spray. Both methods were applied to the chiral separation of propranolol enantiomers using normal phase analysis on cellulose-based chiral column. Interestingly, both methods are easy to handle and offer a wide range of assistant solvents that can be used in order to gain the optimum ionization of the analyte molecules. The both methods considerably improved the analyte signal and the peak area greatly increased. The propranolol average signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio was enhanced from 26 +/- 1 and 42 +/- 1 to 2341 +/- 61 and 1725 +/- 29 for R-propranolol and S-propranolol, respectively, when the post-column solvent method (OPSAI) was used with isopropanol-assistant solvent (A). While in case of solvent-assisted electrospray ionization method (SAESI) signal was enhanced from 26 +/- 1 and 42 +/- 1 to 2223 +/- 72 and 2155 +/- 58 for R-propranolol and S-propranolol, respectively, with water as an assistant solvent. The limit of detection was 10 ng/mL and the method was linear in the range 50-2000 ng/mL. The NPLC-MS method was applied for the determination of propranolol enantiomers in human plasma after microextraction by packed C18 sorbent.

Abstract [en]

Drugs used to enhance human performance in sport competitions are prohibited by the world anti-doping association (WADA). Biological samples from athletes are continuously tested for adverse analytical findings regarding the identity and/or quantity of the banned substances. The current thesis deals with the development of new analytical methods to determine the concentrations of certain drugs used by athletes and even by regular users for therapeutic purposes. The developed methods aim to analyze the contents of these drugs in the biological matrices; plasma, serum and saliva to provide a successful approach towards either doping detection or therapeutic monitoring. β-adrenergic blockers such as propranolol and metoprolol are used in sports to relief stress and as therapeutic agents in the treatment of hypertension. Both drugs are in chiral forms and available only as racemic mixtures. The different pharmacology of each enantiomer necessitates the monitoring of each enantiomer by stereoselective analytical technique such as chiral liquid chromatography for separation and mass spectrometry for selective detection. The Endogenous anabolic androgenic steroids (EAAS) on the other hand are only notoriously used in sports to increase muscle mass and strength. A method utilizing high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) coupled to ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) was developed for the simultaneous determination of EAAS and their conjugated metabolites to provide a better insight into the steroidal module of the athlete biological passport (ABP). Moreover, the steroidal profile was assessed in serum using the proposed method after the administration of Growth hormone injection as an approach toward the implementation of a new endocrinological module based on steroids biomarkers to hormone doping.  Biological samples contain many components that may interfere with the analytical measurements. Therefore, sample preparation methods were developed using solid phase extraction (SPE) and miniaturized techniques such as microextraction by packed sorbents (MEPS) for the purification and pre-concentration of analytes prior to LC/MS analysis.
