Abstract

A method based on CZE for the determination of glutamic acid, glycine, and alanine in a biopharmaceutical formulation containing recombinant human erythropoietin was developed. The separation was achieved within less than 5 min, using a fused-silica capillary column (55 cm × 50 μm id) and 30 mmol/L phosphate buffer at pH 11.5, containing 0.6 mmol/L CTAB and 10% v/v methanol, as BGE solution. Applied potential of -25 kV, temperature of 15°C and hydrodynamic injection time of 15 s, at 50 mbar, were employed. The detection of the analytes was carried out without any derivatization reaction, at 220 nm using an UV-DAD detector. Linear ranges from 50 to 2500 mg/L and quantification limits of 40, 39, and 37 mg/L were obtained for glutamic acid, glycine, and alanine, respectively. Sample preparation required only a dilution step. Considering peak area and migration time values, the method presented good repeatability (RSD <1.7%; n = 9) and intermediate precision (RSD <1.0%; n = 6). Recovery evaluation using a commercial sample led to values between 97.5 ± 5.2% and 101.5 ± 4.6%, demonstrating the feasibility of the method, which was successfully applied in the quantification of the amino acids of interest in biopharmaceutical samples.

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
