Sensitive determination of tilmicosin, erythromycin ethylsuccinate and clindamycin by CE with electrochemiluminescence detection using azithromycin as internal standard and its applications.

A sensitive approach for the simultaneous determination of tilmicosin, erythromycin ethylsuccinate and clindamycin was developed by CE coupled with electrochemiluminescence detection with ionic liquid. The parameters for CE, electrochemiluminescence detection and the effect of ionic liquid were investigated systematically. The three analytes were well separated and detected within 8 min. The limits of detection (S/N=3) of tilmicosin, erythromycin ethylsuccinate and clindamycin are 3.4x10(-9), 2.3x10(-8) and 1.3x10(-8) mol/L, respectively. The precisions (RSD%) of the peak area and the migration time are from 0.8 to 1.5% and from 0.2 to 0.5% within a day and from 1.8 to 2.7% and from 0.6 to 0.8% in 3 days, respectively. The limits of quantitation (S/N=10) of tilmicosin, erythromycin ethylsuccinate and clindamycin are 3.2x10(-8), 2.9x10(-7) and 9.1x10(-8) mol/L in human urines and 5.5x10(-8), 3.2x10(-7) and 2.1x10(-7) mol/L in milk samples, respectively. The recoveries of three analytes at different concentration levels in urine, milk and drugs are between 90.0 and 104.7%. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of three analytes in human urine, milk and drugs.

[Study on serum and urine concentrations of erythromycin succinate of pyrrolidine-methyl-tetracycline]. / Studio delle concentrazioni sieriche ed urinarie della eritromicina succinato di pirrolidino-metil-tetraciclina.

The serum and urine antibiotic levels in a group of 25 patients were determined after a single administration of a new antibiotic salt: erythromycin succinate of pyrrolidine-methyl-tetracycline. Some subjects were treated orally and other intramuscularly. The results obtained showed that this drug gives, both orally and intramuscularly, efficient serum and urine concentrations of tetracycline and erythromycin.
