    Abstract

    In the present research work, the measurement of the medicinal substance isoprenaline in water using a gas chromatography device with Flame ionization detector (FID) was performed. In order to extract this compound from aqueous samples, the Diffuse Liquid-Liquid Microextraction (DLLME) technique was considered.

    The Diffuse Liquid-Liquid Microextraction technique is a new extraction method that, despite its simplicity and speed, has a high efficiency and concentration factor and is compatible with various instrumental analysis methods. In this method, two extracting and dispersing solvents are used. In this research, acetic anhydride compound was used as derivatizing reagent. Extraction was performed on 5 ml of water using 0.5 ml of acetone (dispersing solvent) containing 10 microliters of chlorobenzene (extracting solvent) and 50 microliters of acetic anhydride (derivatizing reagent). Based on the obtained results, the detection limit of the method for measuring isoprenaline is relatively low (0.33 ppb) and the linear range of the calibration curve is wide (1-150 ppb). Also, the extraction efficiency of studied isoprenaline is 90% and the concentration factor is 870. The extraction efficiency for the urine sample is 84%.

    1- Introduction

    The measurement and identification of various biological and chemical species in various samples and tissues is very important in various sciences and industries, including the measurement of small amounts of these species in vital samples such as human blood serum and plasma or urine (diagnosis Diseases, quality control of medicines, measurement of various chemical substances to determine the amount of pollutants) as well as control of the quality and value of food.

    It is clear that the purpose of prescribing medicine is to prevent, control or treat a disease. But drug side effects sometimes prevent the doctor from reaching this goal. So that in some cases, he inevitably stops the medicine or changes it. Sometimes drug side effects lead to the diagnosis and treatment process due to similarity with disease side effects. In some cases, drug side effects exceed the side effects of the disease, endangering the patient's health or even survival. In some cases, these side effects are not improved by stopping the drug, remain permanently or improve slowly.

    The statistics of drug side effects recorded in the World Health Organization (WHO) are shocking, and every year in the world, people and governments spend a huge amount on the treatment of drug side effects and suffer heavy losses. More than 70 to 80% of reported side effects are caused by common drugs and not new drugs. On the other hand, most side effects of drugs are dose dependent. In other words, by controlling the drug dose, the side effects are better controlled, and by increasing the drug dose, these side effects are aggravated. According to these facts on the one hand and with the progress of analytical science and laboratory equipment on the other hand, for years specialists and researchers have realized the importance of monitoring [1] the drug in the blood or urine of patients to preserve the health of patients more than before and reduce the complications and costs of treatment. 1963 In the countries of England, Scotland, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, an epidemic of deaths was observed in a group of people with asthma under treatment. Later it became clear that this happened probably due to the presence of isoprenaline sprays that were used in the amount of 5 times the dose of isoprenaline that was used in the United States and Canada, because in these two countries they did not report such an epidemic [1]. It leads to the heart. This drug is an adrenergic compound that exerts its effects by stimulating beta-adrenergic receptors. Stimulation of beta2 receptor in the lungs relaxes the bronchial smooth muscle and relieves bronchial spasm, increases vital capacity, reduces reserve volume, and reduces airway resistance.. Isoproterenol inhibits the release of histamine caused by antigen stimulation and during anaphylaxis.

    Its spray dilates the bronchi and is used to treat bronchial spasm caused by asthma, bronchitis and emphysema. In rare cases, it is injected intravenously as an emergency treatment for serious heart diseases and to relieve severe asthma. It is not suitable for heart disorders, including angina, as it may increase the heart rate. For this reason, it is used as a treatment for heart block before putting in a pacemaker. Excessive use can cause insomnia, headache, irritability, and in severe cases, dangerous heart rhythms [2-3].

    -2-1-chemistry of isoprenaline

    The composition of isoprenaline is synthesized by a method similar to the production of epinephrine. The interaction of chloroacetylpyrocatechol[1] with isopropylamine compound produces ?-isopropylamino-4,3-dihydroxyacetophenone[2]. Finally, the reduction of the carbonyl group with hydrogen by palladium on carbon leads to the production of isoprenaline.

    (Diagram and pictures and tables are available in the main file)

    The presence of the isopropylamine group makes the compound of isoprenaline selective for beta receptors. Also, free hydroxycatechol groups make this drug prone to enzymatic metabolism [4-5].

    1-2-2-Importance of measurement

    Measurement of drugs plays an important role in drug quality control and has a great impact on public health. Therefore, choosing a simple, sensitive and fast method to measure these compounds is very important.

    Isoprenaline is injected into the body in the form of 1-3 ml injection containing 20 mcg/mL[1] of isoprenaline hydrochloride. Many of the side effects of these drugs disappear during treatment when the body adapts. Despite this, heart palpitations and chest pain are signs of excessive heart stimulation, which should be resolved immediately. In order to extract this compound from water samples dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction technique (DLLME) was applied.

    Simplicity, rapidity, high enrichment factor and high recovery are the most advantages of DLLME technique that is novel method. Tow solvents, extraction solvent and disperser solvent are used in this method. DLLME is compatible with analytical instruments. In this study, acetic anhydride was used as derivatization reagent.

    Extraction procedure was done by using 5 mL water sample and 0.5 mL acetone (disperser solvent) containing 10 ?L chlorobenzene (extraction solvent) and 50 ?L acetic anhydride (derivatization reagent). Under the optimum conditions, enrichment factor and recovery were 870 and 90%, respectively.

    The linear range was 1-150 ?g L-1 and limit of detections were 0.33 ?g L-1. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) were in the range of 1.2% (n=7) using internal standard and were in the range of 2.8% (n=7) without internal standard. The extraction efficiency was 84% ??for urine samples.
