Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) is commonly used to increase the exibility of plastics
in industrial products. However, several plasticizers have been illegally used as clouding
agents to increase dispersion of aqueous matrix in beverages. This study thus develops a
rapid and validated analytical method by ultra-performance liquid chromatography with
tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) for the evaluation of pharmacokinetics of DBP
in free moving rats. The UPLC-MS/MS system equipped with positive electrospray
ionization (ESI) source in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode was used to monitor
m/z 279.25148.93 transitions for DBP. The limit of quantication for DBP in rat plasma
and feces was 0.05 µg/mL and 0.125 µg/g, respectively. The pharmacokinetic results
demonstrate that DBP appeared to have a two-compartment model in the rats; the area
under concentration versus time (AUC) was 57.8 ± 5.93 min g/mL and the distribution
and elimination half-life (t1/2, and t1/2,) were 5.77 ± 1.14 and 217 ± 131 min, respectively,
after DBP administration (30 mg/kg, i.v.). About 0.18% of the administered dose was
recovered from the feces within 48 h. The pharmacokinetic behavior demonstrated that
DBP was quickly degraded within 2 h, suggesting a rapid metabolism low fecal cumulative
excretion in the rat....

Praeruptorin D (PD), a major pyranocoumarin isolated from Radix Peucedani,
exhibited antitumor and anti-inflammatory activities. The aim of this study was to
investigate the pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of PD in rats following intravenous
(i.v.) administration. The levels of PD in plasma and tissues were measured by a simple
and sensitive reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method.
The biosamples were treated by liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) with methyl tert-butyl ether
(MTBE) and osthole was used as the internal standard (IS). The chromatographic
separation was accomplished on a reversed-phase C18 column using methanol-water
(75:25, v/v) as mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min and ultraviolet detection wave
length was set at 323 nm. The results demonstrate that this method has excellent specificity,
linearity, precision, accuracy and recovery. The pharmacokinetic study found that PD fitted
well into a two-compartment model with a fast distribution phase and a relative slow
elimination phase. Tissue distribution showed that the highest concentration was observed
in the lung, followed by heart, liver and kidney. Furthermore, PD can also be detected in the
brain, which indicated that PD could cross the blood-brain barrier after i.v. administration....

Plasma and brain cholinesterase activities were determined in three wild bird species to assess their exposure to organophosphate
and carbamate insecticides which are used in agriculture and public health. In the present study, we used an electrometric method for
measurement of cholinesterase activities in the plasma and whole brain of three indigenous wild birds commonly found in northern
Iraq. The birds used were apparently healthy adults of both sexes (8 birds/species, comprising 3–5 from each sex) of quail (Coturnix
coturnix), collard dove (Streptopelia decaocto) and rock dove (Columba livia gaddi), which were captured in Mosul, Iraq. The mean
respective cholinesterase activities (? pH/30 minutes) in the plasma and whole brain of the birds were as follows: quail (0.96 and
0.29), collard dove (0.97and 0.82) and rock dove (1.44 and 1.42). We examined the potential susceptibility of the plasma or whole
brain cholinesterases to inhibition by selected insecticides. The technique of in vitro cholinesterase inhibition for 10 minutes by the
organophosphate insecticides dichlorvos, malathion and monocrotophos (0.5 and 1.0 µM) and the carbamate insecticide carbaryl
(5 and10 µM) in the enzyme reaction mixtures showed significant inhibition of plasma and whole brain cholinesterase activities to
various extents. The data further support and add to the reported cholinesterase activities determined electrometrically in wild birds
in northern Iraq. The plasma and whole brain cholinesterases of the birds are highly susceptible to inhibition by organophosphate
and carbamate insecticides as determined by the described electrometric method, and the results further suggest the usefulness of
the method in biomonitoring wild bird cholinesterases....
