Direct Monitoring of Verapamil Level in Exhaled Breath Condensate Samples

Background: In this research, an enhanced fluorimetric assay was developed for the direct monitoring of verapamil in exhaled breath condensate (EBC). The method is based on a binding–induced rigidity inside the sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelle which eliminate collisional quenching and vibrational modes responsible for non-radiative decay. This process produces an enhancement in the emission intensity of verapamil. Methods: Fluorescence intensity measurements were made at 15 ˚C on a FP-750 spectrofluorometer with maximum excitation and emission wavelengths of 280 nm and 310 nm, respectively. The important parameters influencing the analytical signal in experimental steps were investigated and optimized. The method was validated with considering of the linearity, recovery and limit of detection. Results: Under the optimized experimental conditions, the calibration graph was linear in the range of 0.02 − 12.0 µg.mL−1 of verapamil with a detection limit of 0.008 µg.mL–1. Conclusion: The proposed method was found to be suitable and accurate for the determination of verapamil and the validated method was successfully used for analysis of verapamil in EBC of patients receiving verapamil with the satisfactory results

A Simple Colorimetric Method for Determination of Ethanol in Exhaled Breath Condensate

Background: Ethanol is considered as a toxic compound when used in excess amounts. The toxic concentration for ethanol was reported to be 1000 – 2000 μg.mL-1 in plasma and serum samples. The aim of the current study was to develop a rapid and catalyst free colorimetric method for determination of ethanol in exhaled breath condensate (EBC) sample. Methods: A redox reaction with dichromate-based colorimetric method was used for determination of ethanol in EBC. Results: The proposed method shows a good sensitivity and selectivity for ethanol in compared with other compounds and biomarkers existing in EBC. The color change can be easily observed by the naked eye in the presence of ethanol in the range of 300 - 8000 μg.mL-1. The quantitative detection of ethanol was fully validated and used for determination of ethanol in EBC of alcohol administrated individuals. Conclusion: This catalyst free colorimetric method has great potential for ethanol determination owing to many desirable properties such as high reliability, high sensitivity, and fast response time
