Preparative isolation and purification of two benzoxazinoid glucosides from Acanthus ilicifolius L. by high-speed counter-current chromatography

The first preparative separation of two benzoxazinoids, (2R)-2-O-beta-d-glucopyranosyl-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one (HBOA-Glc) and (2R)-2-O-beta-d-glucopyranosyl-4-hydroxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one (DIBOA-Glc), by means of high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) from the n-butanol extract of Acanthus ilicifolius L. is presented. The two-phase solvent system containing ethyl acetate-n-butanol-0.5%NH(4)OH (2:3:5, v/v/v, system B) was selected for the one-step HSCCC separation of HBOA-Glc and DIBOA-Glc according to the partition coefficient values (K) for target compounds and the separation factor (alpha) between the two target compounds. In the one-step HSCCC separation using solvent B, from 100mg n-butanol extract of A. ilicifolius, 6.3 mg HBOA-Glc and 6.8 mg DIBOA-Glc were isolated with purities of 90.3% and 80.2%, respectively. In order to obtain the two target compounds with higher purity, a second separation process was developed comprising two steps. In the two-step separation, the sample was first pre-purified by HSCCC using ethyl acetate-n-butanol-water (2:3:5, v/v/v, system A) solvent system and then purified using solvent system B. A 100-mg amount of the n-butanol extracts of A. ilicifolius was separated to yield 5.8 mg of HBOA-Glc and 4.8 mg of DIBOA-Glc with purities of 97.1% and 94.8%, respectively, which were directly used for NMR analyses.     

Measurement and correlation of liquid–liquid equilibria for water + ethanol + mixed solvents (dichloromethane or chloroform + diethyl ether) at T = 293.15 K

Liquid–liquid equilibrium (LLE) data for the quaternary systems (water + ethanol + dichloromethane (DCM) or chloroform (CHCl₃) + diethyl ether (DEE)) were experimentally investigated at 293.15 K. The thermodynamic consistency of the data was performed using the Othmer–Tobias and Hand plots. The experimental tie-line data were correlated using the non-random, two-liquid (NRTL) model. As a result, the comparison of the extracting capabilities of the mixed solvents with respect to the distribution coefficients and separation factors showed that the (50% DCM +50% DEE) system had a higher separation factor for the (water + ethanol + DCM + DEE) system. On the other hand, the (50% CHCl₃ +50% DEE) system had a higher separation factor for the (water + ethanol + CHCl₃ + DEE) system. The last solvent (50% CHCl₃ +50% DEE) was found to be the best solvent, with a positive synergistic effect on DEE, high separation factor, and very low solubility in water.

An automated capillary electrophoresis system for high-speed separation of DNA fragments based on a short capillary

A high-speed DNA fragment separation system was developed based on a short capillary and a slotted-vial array automated sample introduction system. The injection process of DNA sample in a short capillary was investigated systematically with three injection techniques including constant-field-strength, low-field-strength and translational spontaneous injections. Under the optimized conditions, picoliter-scale sample plugs (corresponding to ca. 20-μm plug length) were obtained, which ensure the high-speed and high-efficiency separation for DNA fragments with a short effective separation length. Other separation conditions including the sieving matrix concentration, separation field strength and effective separation length were also optimized. The present system was applied in the separation of ΦX174-Hae III digest DNA marker. With an effective separation length of 2.5 cm, the separation could be achieved in <100 s with plate heights ranging from 0.21 to 0.74 μm (corresponding to plate numbers from 4.86 × 10(6) to 1.36 × 10(6)/m). The repeatabilities for the migration time of the eleven fragments were between 0.4 and 1.1% RSD (n=8). By using the automated continuous injection method, the separation for four different DNA samples could be achieved within 250 s. The present system was further applied in the fast sizing of real DNA samples of PCR products.     

Separation of curium from americium using composite sorbents and complexing agent solutions: part 2

TODGA–PAN composite sorbent and (PhSO₃H)₂–BTPhen in nitric acid solution were employed as a system for separation of curium from americium. The influence of aqueous phase composition (complexing agent and nitric acid concentrations) on weight distribution coefficients and Cm/Am separation factor was studied in batch experiments with trace amounts of ²⁴¹Am and ²⁴⁴Cm. Based on the results obtained, column experiment was designed and conducted. The Cm/Am separation factor of 3.8 ± 0.1 found in batch experiments with TODGA–PAN could be reproduced also in column experiment resulting in good separation of Cm from Am. The efficiency of Cm separation from Am in the TODGA–PAN system was compared with the analogous system with DGA resin (Triskem International). After separation on a 0.5 mL column (φ4.7 × 29 mm) the Cm fraction containing 93% of Cm(III) contained only 3% of Am(III) in optimum conditions.

     

Polymerization-induced phase separation in polyether-sulfone modified epoxy resin systems: effect of curing reaction mechanism

Polyethersulfone (PES)-modified epoxy systems with stepwise reaction were studied throughout the entire curing process by using optical microscopes, time-resolved light scattering (TRLS), and a rheolometry instrument compared with that of chainwise polymerization. The results suggested that the phase separation process is mainly controlled by the diffusion of epoxy oligomers for stepwise mechanism system and by that of epoxy monomers for chainwise mechanism system. In case of high PES content (SPES-20%) light-scattering results showed a viscoelastic phase separation and the characteristic relaxation time of phase separation can be described well by the WLF equation. However, in the case of low PES content (SPES-14%) secondary phase separation phenomenon was observed by Optical Microscope and further demonstrated by rheological study.     

Development and optimization of a system for comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography with UV and mass spectrometric detection for the separation of complex samples by multi-step gradient elution

Comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography (LC x LC) is a powerful tool for the separation of complex biological samples. This technique offers the advantage of simplified automation and greater reproducibility in a shorter analysis time than off-line two-dimensional separation systems. In the present study, an LC x LC system is developed enabling simultaneous UV and MS detection, and which can be easily converted to a conventional reversed-phase LC-UV/MS system. In LC x LC, a 60-min reversed-phase LC separation with a linear solvent gradient in the first dimension is coupled to a second-dimension separation on a mixed-mode cation-exchange/reversed-phase column with a modulation time of 60s. The isocratic separation in the second-dimension column is optimized by the use of a multi-step gradient where the organic and the ionic modifier are varied independently. Intraday (n=3) and interday (n=4) variability of the retention times were evaluated with the complete system and found to be 0.5% and 0.7%, respectively. Good linearity was observed in calibration curves for three different compounds varying in polarity.     

Comprehensive two-dimensional separations based on capillary high-performance liquid chromatography and microchip electrophoresis

A novel comprehensive two-dimensional (2-D) separation system coupling capillary high-performance liquid chromatography (cHPLC) with microchip electrophoresis (chip CE) is demonstrated. Reversed-phase cHPLC was used as the first dimension, and chip CE acted as the second dimension to perform fast sample transfers and separations. A valve-free gating interface was devised simply by inserting the outlet-end of LC column into the cross-channel on a specially designed chip. A home-made confocal laser-induced fluorescence detector was used to perform on-chip high-sensitive detection. The cHPLC effluents were continuously delivered to the chip and pinched injections of the effluents every 20 seconds were employed for chip CE separation. Gradient elution of cHPLC was carried out to obtain the high-efficiency separation. Free-zone electrophoresis was performed with triethylamine buffer to achieve high-speed separation and prevent sample adsorption. Such a simple-made comprehensive system was proved to be effective. The relative standard deviations for migration time and peak height of rhodamine B in 150 sample transfers were 3.2% and 9.8%, respectively. Peptides of the fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled tryptic digests of bovine serum albumin were fairly resolved and detected with this comprehensive 2-D system.     

Design of the ultimate behavior of tetrafunctional epoxies modified with polysulfone by controlling microstructure development

The reaction-induced phase separation in a tetrafunctional epoxy–cyclic anhydride system modified with polysulfone (PSF) was followed by optical microscopy (OM), light scattering (LS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The selected system was N,N,N′,N′-tetraglycidyl-4,4′-diamino diphenylmethane cured with methyl tetrahydrophthalic anhydride, in the presence of variable PSF concentrations. The different experimental techniques allow us to establish the phase separation mechanism. For modifier concentrations close to the critical point, 10 and 15 wt % PSF, phase separation proceeded by spinodal demixing (SD). For a modifier concentration much lower than the critical point, 5 wt % PSF, phase separation occurred via the nucleation and growth (NG) mode. For 7.5 wt % PSF, depending on the cure temperature, SD or NG was observed. Dynamic mechanical behavior of the resulting materials had been discussed based on fractionation of different species during the phase separation process. The fracture toughness increased significantly when bicontinuous (10 wt % PSF) or phase-inverted (15 wt % PSF) structures were generated. For mixtures containing 15 wt % PSF, the dependence of fracture toughness on the stoichiometric ratio (anhydride groups/epoxy groups) was analyzed. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
