This Diploma thesis focuses on the study of penetration of selected phenolic substances contained in extract from black elder (Sambucus nigra) via modelling systems represented by two types of synthetic membranes and a real system represented by a biological membrane. As a biological membrane, we have chosen skin from pig´s earlobe. Experiments of transdermal absorption and absorption through synthetic membranes were conducted through vertical (Franz´s) cells. Selected substances contained in the extract from black elder were rutin and chlorogenic acid. The main focus of this work was to determine how readily, or if at all, these two selected phenolic substances penetrate the skin and selected synthetic membranes. The percentage of absorbed amount of the substance was determined by HPLC analysis.

This Thesis deals with the construction of an electrochemical cell with two types of integrated composite electrodes based on carbon films. Using these electrodes, the voltammetric behavior of environmental pollutant triclosan (5-chlor-2-(2,4- dichlorophenoxy)phenol) was studied. For the construction of composite electrodes, graphite and glassy carbon were used as conductive microparticles. Several types of polymers served as the nonconductive binder. For the measurements, combinations of graphite with polystyrene and graphite with polycarbonate were selected as optimum materials. From the dependence of peak heights on solution composition, a mixture of a buffer of pH 7 and methanol (1:9, V/V) was selected as the optimum medium. In this medium, concentration dependences were measured; calculated triclosan detection limit were 0,49 µmol dm-3 for carbon polystyrene composite electrode and 0,25 µmol dm-3 for carbon polycarbonate composite electrode, respectively. The possibility of further increasing the sensitivity of the determination by the accumulation step was studied. Accumulation of triclosan on carbon polystyrene composite electrode was observed, but the increase in response was connected with the loss of repeatability. Accumulation of triclosan on carbon polycarbonate composite electrode was...

(EN) The presented dissertation thesis summarizes the new results of electrochemical generation of volatile compounds usable in atomic spectral methods. The main aim of this work is to develop and to characterize new types of electrolytic flow-through cells and to examine their possibilities of determination of arsenic, selenium and antimony by using the electrochemical hydride generation technique coupled with atomic absorption spectrometry with a quartz tube atomizer. Individual electrolytic cells were designed and constructed to comply with two important requirements. The cathode chamber of the electrolytic cell should have a minimal volume and a high efficiency of analyte conversion to the volatile hydride. Constructed electrolytic cells are divided into the construction groups and described in the experimental part. Selenium was chosen as the first analyte. The relevant working parameters (such as type, concentration and flow rate of electrolytes, generation current and carrier gas flow rate) were optimized for each newly constructed electrolytic cell. Under the optimal working parameters, the basic characteristics of selenium determination were found out by using electrochemical hydride generation. The electrolytic cells were compared to each other and with the classical electrolytic cell...

Estudou-se o emprego da Cromatografia a Líquido por Injeção Seqüencial (SIC) explorando o uso de uma cela de longo caminho óptico com guia de onda (LCW) de 100 cm para a melhora dos limites de detecção (LOD) e quantificação (LOQ) na determinação de atrazina (ATR), propazina (PRO) e simazina (SIM). Para isto, utilizou-se uma fase móvel com composição de 44:56 (v v-1) metanol : tampão acetato de amônio 1,25 mM, pH 4,7, coluna monolítica e a detecção espectrofotométrica em 238 nm. Obtiveram-se valores de LOD e LOQ, respectivamente, de 1,76 e 5,86 µg L-1 para ATR, 4,51 e 15 µg L-1 para PRO e 2,25 e 7,5 µg L-1 para SIM. Com o emprego da cela de longo caminho óptico os valores de LOD ficaram abaixo dos recomendados pela US-EPA, que permite para águas potáveis uma concentração de 3 µg L-1 para ATR, 4 µg L-1 para SIM e 10 µg L-1 para PRO. Realizaram-se estudos de adsorção de SIM, PRO e ATR e seus metabólitos desisopropilatrazina (DIA), desetilatrazina (DEA) e 2-hidroxiatrazina (HAT) em solo, ácido húmico e solo modificado com ácido húmico. Para isso foi utilizado um sistema de monitoramento on-line composto por um filtro tangencial e uma bomba peristáltica para circulação da suspensão. Foram realizados estudos cinéticos em duas etapas e, em ambas, foi utilizado um mix dos compostos com concentração inicial de 1,0 mg L-1 e gradiente de eluição passo a passo para a separação dos compostos utilizando três fases móveis com composições de 15 ou 28, 40 e 50% (v v-1) metanol : tampão acetato de amônio 1,25 mM pH 4,7. Na primeira etapa o tempo de contato entre triazinas e adsorventes foi de 90 min. Na segunda etapa foi utilizado apenas o solo como adsorvente e o tempo de contato foi de 24 h. Para a primeira etapa do estudo só foi possível aplicar modelo cinético de pseudo-segunda ordem, o qual permitiu estimar os valores de massa adsorvida de triazina por massa de adsorvente, sendo que o ácido húmico é o material com maior capacidade adsortiva (1470 ± 43µg g-1 para DIA a 2380 ± 51 µg g-1 para PRO). O composto mais adsorvido em solo é PRO (26,5 ± 0,1 µg g-1). A presença de ácido húmico no solo aumentou a adsorção de ATR (de 19,4 ± 0,7 para 23 ± 2 µg g-1), de HAT (10,9 ± 0,7 para 18 ± 2 µg g-1) e de PRO (26,5 ± 0,7 para 29,8 ±0,2 µg g-1), mas diminuiu a adsorção de SIM e não afetou DIA e DEA. No estudo com tempo de contato de 24 h foi possível aplicar modelos de pseudo-primeira e segunda ordem. Os resultados obtidos confirmaram a maior adsorção de PRO, seguidos da ATR. HAT, SIM, DEA e DIA apresentaram as menores taxas de adsorção em solo, sendo que os dois últimos apresentaram uma tendência de dessorção após 4 h de contato, tendo maior potencial de lixiviação para corpos d\'água próximos aos locais de aplicação. / This work describes the use of Sequential Injection Liquid Chromatography (SIC) coupled to a long path length optical flow cell with 100 cm long Liquid Core Waveguide (LCW) to improve the limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) for determination of atrazine (ATR), propazine (PRO) and simazine (SIM). Separation was achieved with a mobile phase composition of 44:56 (v v-1) methanol:1.25 mM ammonium acetate buffer, pH 4.7, monolithic column and spectrophotometric detection at 238 nm. The values of LOD and LOQ were, respectively, 1.76 and 5.86 µg L-1 for ATR, 4.51 and 15 µg L-1 for PRO and 2.25 and 7.5 µg L-1 for SIM. The LOD values achieved with the employment of long optical path cell were lower than those recommended by US-EPA, which allows for drinking water, maximum concentration levels of 3 µg L-1 for ATR, 4 µg L-1 for SIM and 10 µg L-1 for PRO. Adsorption of SIM, PRO and ATR, as well as their metabolites desisopropylatrazine (DIA), desethylatrazine (DEA) and 2-hidroxyatrazine (HAT) on soil, humic acid and soil modified with humic acidic was studied. An on-line monitoring system was assembled, composed of a tangential filter and a peristaltic pump for circulation of the suspension. Kinetic studies were carried out in two steps, and in both, it was used a mix of compounds with initial concentration of 1,0 mg L-1 and a stepwise gradient elution for separation of the compounds using three mobile phases with compositions of 15 or 28, 40 and 50% (v v-1) methanol: 1.25 mM ammonium acetate buffer, pH 4.7. In the first step the contact time between triazines and adsorbents was 90 minutes. In a second study made only with soil, the contact time was 24 h. Data obtained in the first stage of the study was only fitted to pseudo-second order kinetic equation, which allowed one to estimate the values of the adsorbed mass of triazine per mass of adsorbent. Humic acid was the material with higher adsorptive capacity (from 1470 ± 43 µg g-1 for DIA to 2380 ± 50 µg g-1 for PRO). In soil, PRO exhibited the highest adsorption (26.5 ± 0.1 µg g-1). The presence of humic acid in the soil increased adsorption of ATR (19.4±0.7 to 23±2 µg g-1), HAT (10.9 ± 0.7 to 18 ± 2 µg g-1) and PRO (26.5 ± 0.7 to 29.8 ± 0.2 µg g-1), but decreased adsorption of SIM, not affecting DIA and DEA. In the study with contact time of 24 h, it was possible apply pseudo-first and pseudo-second order equations for SIM, ATR and PRO. The results confirmed the greatest adsorption of PRO, followed by ATR. HAT, SIM, DEA and DIA had low rates of adsorption on soil, the latter two showed a trend of desorption after 4 h of contact, having the greatest potential for leaching to water bodies near to the places of application.

This work deals with the transmittance of a family of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs across biological membranes in combination with the use of hyaluronan. Hyaluronic acid (hyaluronan, HYA) is a linear polysaccharide formed from disacharide units containing N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and glucuronic acid. HYA is present in almost all biological fluids and tissues, so there is an assumption that could affect the penetration of substances through the skin. Standards were prepared by anti-inflammatory drugs in admixture with various concentrations hyaluronan and subsequently measured transmittance of such substances through the skin. Standards were applied to the skin obtained from pig auricle. The drug content was determined by HPLC.

Os métodos desenvolvidos foram baseados na reação de acoplamento diazo obtida entre as tetraciclinas e o ácido p-sulfanílico diazotado em meio básico, resultando na formação de azo compostos com máximos de absorção em torno de 435 nm, permitindo determinar esses antibióticos por espectrofotometria. As condições analíticas foram otimizadas através de análise multivariada utilizando planejamentos experimentais fatoriais e o desempenho dos métodos propostos foi avaliado através de parâmetros como linearidade, efeito matriz, precisão, exatidão, limite de detecção, limite de quantificação, recuperação e estudo de interferências. O primeiro trabalho desenvolvido fez uso de um procedimento de injeção em fluxo contínuo para a rápida determinação de tetraciclinas em formulações veterinárias comerciais, visando maior eficiência no controle de qualidade na indústria farmacêutica. Na sequência, foi desenvolvido um método de screening mediante análise por injeção em fluxo empregando uma cela capilar de longo caminho óptico (LWCC) para a detecção de resíduos de tetraciclinas em amostras de leite bovino, sem a necessidade de passos de extração dispendiosos e demorados ou complicados tratamentos de amostras. Finalmente, um novo método de microextração líquido-líquido dispersiva assistida por ultrassom (US-DLLME) foi desenvolvido para a simples, rápida e eficiente extração de resíduos de tetraciclinas a partir de amostras de suplemento de ovos e, posterior análise por injeção em fluxo baseada em uma cela capilar de longo caminho óptico (LWCC), empregando um banho de aquecimento com controle de temperatura. Os métodos descritos apresentaram importantes características como simplicidade operacional, possibilidade de automação, rapidez e baixo custo das análises. Além disso, estes métodos seguiram os princípios da química verde, de modo que permitiram realizar determinações ambientalmente mais limpas, através da redução considerável do consumo de reagentes e amostras, evitando ou minimizando o emprego de solventes tóxicos. Também, os métodos desenvolvidos para a análise de resíduos mostraram excelente desempenho para aplicação no controle de qualidade dos produtos alimentares estudados na indústria alimentícia, a fim de proteger os consumidores. / This work describes the development of environmentally friendly analytical methods using screening systems and flow injection procedures for detection and quantification of tetracycline antibiotics in veterinary pharmaceuticals and animal-derived foods such as bovine milk and egg-based protein supplements. The developed methods were based on the diazo coupling reaction between the tetracyclines and diazotized p-sulfanilic acid in basic medium, resulting in the formation of azo compounds that present maximum absorption around 435 nm, which allows determining these antibiotics by spectrophotometry. The analytical conditions were optimized by means of multivariate analysis using factorial experimental designs. Performance of the proposed methods was assessed through parameters such as linearity, selectivity, precision, accuracy, detection limit, quantification limit, matrix effect and recovery. The first developed work used a continuous flow injection procedure for the rapid determination of tetracyclines in commercial veterinary formulations, aiming greater efficiency in quality control in the pharmaceutical industry. Thereafter, it was developed a screening method by flow injection analysis using a liquid waveguide capillary cell (LWCC) for detecting tetracyclines residues in bovine milk samples, without the need for expensive extraction steps that are time-consuming or complicated sample treatments. Finally, a new ultrasound-assisted dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (US-DLLME) method was developed for simple, rapid, and efficient extraction of tetracyclines residues from egg supplement samples, followed by flow injection analysis based on a liquid waveguide capillary cell (LWCC), using a controlled temperature heating bath. The described methods presented important features such as operational simplicity, possibility of automation, quickness and low cost of the analysis. Furthermore, these methods followed the principles of green chemistry, making possible to perform environmentally cleaner determinations, due to the considerable reduction of reagents and samples consumption, avoiding or minimizing the use of toxic solvents. Besides, the methods developed for residues analysis showed excellent performance for application in the food industry for quality control of the studied food products in order to protect consumers.
