Separation and identification of the organic acids in Angelicae Radix and Ligustici Rhizoma by HPLC and CE

Angelicae Radix (AR) and Ligustici Rhizoma (LR) are both derived from the Umbelliferae plants and contain similar organic acids as their bioactive compounds. Nine of these organic acids, including nicotinic acid, protocatechuic acid, phthalic acid, folinic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, folic acid, vanillic acid, caffeic acid, and ferulic acid were separated by HPLC and CE. Detection at 210 nm with a linear gradient containing 20 mM KH2PO4 (pH 3.5) and H2O-CH3CN in HPLC and with a buffer solution containing 10 mM LTAC, 2 mM Na2HPO4, 9 mM Na2B4O7(pH 9.56), and CH3CN in CE were found to be the most efficient eluents for this separation. The contents of the nine components in crude extracts of either AR or LR could easily be determined within 60 min by LC and within 20 min by CE. The structures of the individual peaks in the LC chromatogram were identified by LC-MS. The effects of buffers on the separation and validation of the two methods were examined.     

Analysis of three effective components in Fructus corni and its preparations by micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography

An efficient micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography method was developed to analyze three major active components including morroniside, loganin and gallic acid in Fructus corni and its six preparations for the first time. The factors that could affect the separation were studied, such as the pH of the buffer, concentrations of SDS, organic modifier and beta-CD, and the applied voltage. The optimum analysis conditions were 10 mmol/L NaH(2)PO(4)-5 mmol/L Na(2)B(4)O(7) (pH 6.8) buffer containing 140 mmol/L SDS, 1 mmol/L beta-CD, 5% (v/v) methanol and 12.5 kV applied voltage. The linearity between the peak-areas and the concentrations of the analytes were investigated, and they exhibit excellent linear behavior over the concentration ranges (correlation coefficients 0.9953-0.9995). In addition, the pK(a) of gallic acid was determined using capillary zone electrophoresis. The result was consistent with that reported by the literature.     

Determination of diclofenac sodium by capillary zone electrophoresis with electrochemical detection

Capillary zone electrophoresis was employed for the determination of diclofenac sodium using an end-column amperometric detection with a carbon fiber microelectrode, at a constant potential of 0.83 V vs. saturated calomel electrode. The optimum conditions of separation and detection are 4.90 x 10(-3) mol/l Na2HPO4-3.10 x 10(-3) mol/l NaH2PO4 (pH 7.0) for the buffer solution, 10 kV for the separation voltage, 5 kV and 10 s for the injection voltage and the injection time, respectively. The limit of detection is 2.5 x 10(-6) mol/l or 5.2 fmol (S/N=2). The relative standard deviation is 0.8% for the migration time and 4.7% for the electrophoretic peak current. The method was applied to the determination of diclofenac sodium in human urine.

A simple method for quantitative analysis of aesculin and aesculetin in Cortex fraxini was developed using capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE). Berberin was employed as an internal standard, The running buffer was 6 mM Na(2)B(4)O(7) and 10 mM NaH(2)PO(4) (pH 6.70). The linear calibration range was 32-256 mug ml(-1) (r=0.9996) for aesculin and 23-230 mug ml(-1) (r=0.9993) for aesculetin. The contents of aeculin and aesculetin in C. fraxini were easily determined within 12 min the pKa values of aesculin and asculetin determined by CZE were 6.56 and 5.62, respectively. A simple method for estimation of the temperature inside the capillary during running was also proposed.

ELECTROCHEMICAL POLYMERIZATION OF ANILINE IN PHOSPHORIC ACID AND THE PROPERTIES OF POLYANILINE

The behavior of the electrochemical polymerization of aniline in a weak acid, phosphoric acid, is very similar to that in strong acids, i.e. its polymerization rate increases quickly with the electrolysis time. The FTIR spectra of polyaniline samples synthesized in phosphoric acid indicate that the counter ion H2PO4^- is present in both the oxidized form and the reduced form of polyaniline. The counter ion plays an important role in adjusting the pH value at the electrode surface of polyaniline during the oxidation and reduction processes. As a result, a pair of redox peaks still appear in cyclic voltammograms of polyaniline in a solution of sodium sulfate of pH 5.5 and in a solution of NaH2PO4 of pH 7.0,respectively, at low potential scan rate; and the color of polyaniline film also changes with applied potential at pH 7.0. Thus,the pH region for the electrochemical activity and the electrochromism of polyaniline is extended to pH 5.5 for a solution of sodium sulfate and to pH 7.0 for a solution of NaH2PO4. The conductivity of polyaniline is 3.3 S cm^-1, depending on the concentration of phosphoric acid used in the stage of polymerization of aniline. The result of elemental analysis of polyaniline is presented here.     

Quantitation of caffeine by capillary zone electrophoresis with end-column amperometric detection at a carbon microdisk array electrode

Capillary zone electrophoresis is employed for the determination of caffeine using end-column amperometric detection with a carbon fiber microdisk array electrode at a constant potential of 1.45 V versus a saturated calomel electrode. The optimum conditions of separation and detection are 0.1 52mM NaH2PO4-0.648mM Na2HPO4 for the buffer solution, 20 kV for the separation voltage, 5 kV for the injection voltage, and 10s for the injection time. The limit of detection is 2.9 x 10(-4)mM or 1.2 fmol (signal-to-noise ratio = 2). The relative standard deviation is 0.68% for the migration time and 2.3% for the electrophoretic peak current. The method is applied to determining caffeine in human serum and a cola drink.     

Separation and determination of flavonoids in Agrimonia pilosa Ledeb. by capillary electrophoresis with electrochemical detection

Five flavonoids (catechin, hyperoside, quercitrin, quercetin, and rutin) were separated and determined by capillary electrophoresis with electrochemical detection. Effects of several important factors, such as the pH and concentration of running buffer, separation voltage, injection time, and detection potential were investigated to determine the optimum conditions. The five flavonoids were baseline separated within 20 min in a 60 cm length capillary at a separation voltage of 19.5 kV with a running buffer consisting of 60 mmoL/L Na2B4O7 - 120 mmoL/L NaH2PO4 (pH = 8.8). The relationship between peak current and analyte concentration was linear over about two orders of magnitude with detection limits (S/N = 3) ranging from 0.02 to 0.05 microg/mL for all compounds. This method was successfully used to determine the above five flavonoids in Agrimonia pilosa Ledeb. with relatively simple extraction procedures, and the assay results were satisfactory.     

Thousand fold concentration of an alkaloid in capillary zone electrophoresis by micelle to solvent stacking

In this paper, the co-solvent of methanol-water was used to facilitate the sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelles collapse, thereby inducing the on-line sample focusing technique of micelle to solvent stacking (MSS). To demonstrate this stacking method, the mechanism of micelles collapse in co-solvent was discussed. The details of the required conditions were investigated and the optimized conditions were: running buffer, 20mM H(3)BO(3) and 20mM NaH(2)PO(4) solution (pH 4.0); micellar sample matrix, 20mM SDS, 20mM H(3)BO(3) and 20mM NaH(2)PO(4) solution (pH 4.0); co-solvent buffer, 20mM H(3)BO(3) and 20mM NaH(2)PO(4) in methanol/water (90:10, v/v). The validity of the developed method was tested using cationic alkaloid compounds (ephedrine and berberine) as model analytes. Under the optimized conditions, this proposed method afforded limits of detection (LODs) of 0.5 and 1.1ng/mL with 300 and 1036-fold improvements in sensitivity for ephedrine and berberine, respectively, within 15min.     

Electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometric study of salt cluster ions: part 2--salts of polyatomic acid groups and of multivalent metals

Salt cluster ions formed from 0.05 M solutions of CaCl(2), CuCl(2) and Na(A)B (where A = 1 or 2 and B = CO(3)(2-), HCO(3)(-), H(2)PO(4)(-) and HPO(4)(2-)) were studied by electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. The effects on salt cluster ions of droplet pH and of redox reactions induced by electrospray provide information on the electrospray process. CaCl(2) solution yielded salt cluster ions of the form (CaCl(2))(n)(CaCl)(x)(x+) and (CaCl(2))(n)(Cl)(y)(y-), where x, y = 1-3, in positive- and negative-ion modes, respectively. Upon collision induced dissociation (CID), singly charged CaCl(2) cluster ions fragmented, doubly charged cluster ions generated either singly or both singly and doubly charged fragment ions, depending on the cluster mass, and triply charged clusters fragmented predominantly by the loss of charged species. CuCl(2) solution yielded nine series of cluster ions of the form (CuCl(2))(n)(CuCl)(m) plus Cu(+), CuCl(+), or Cl(-). CuCl, the reductive product of CuCl(2), was observed as a neutral component of positively and negatively charged cluster ions. Free electrons were formed in a visible discharge that bridged the gap between the electrospray capillary and the sampling cone brought about the reduction of Cu(2+) to Cu(+). Upon CID, these cluster ions fragmented to lose CuCl(2), CuCl, Cl, and Cl(2). Na(2)CO(3) and NaHCO(3) solutions yielded cluster ions of the form (Na(2)CO(3))(n) plus Na(+) or NaCO(3)(-). Small numbers of NaHCO(3) molecules were found in some cluster ions obtained with the NaHCO(3) solution. For both Na(2)HPO(4) and NaH(2)PO(4) solutions, ions of the form (Na(2)HPO(4))(h), (NaH(2)PO(4))(i), (Na(3)PO(4))(j), (NaPO(3))(k) plus Na(+), PO(3)(-) or H(2)PO(4)(-) were observed. In addition, ions having one or two phosphoric acid (H(3)PO(4)) molecules were observed from the NaH(2)PO(4) solution while ions containing one sodium hydroxide (NaOH) molecule were observed from the Na(2)HPO(4) solution. The cluster ions observed from these four salts of polyatomic acid groups indicate that changes in pH occur in both directions during the electrospray process principally by solvent evaporation; the pH value of the acidic solution became lower and that of the basic solution higher.     

Chromatographic methods for the separation of biocompatible iron chelators from their synthetic precursors and iron chelates

Chromatographic methods have been developed for the separation of the three novel biocompatible iron chelators pyridoxal isonicotinoyl hydrazone (PIH), salicylaldehyde isonicotinoyl hydrazone (SIH), and pyridoxal 2-chlorobenzoyl hydrazone (o-108) from their synthetic precursors and iron chelates. The chromatographic analyses were achieved using analytical columns packed with 5 microm Nucleosil 120-5 C18. For the evaluation of all chelators in the presence of the synthetic precursors, EDTA was added to the mobile phase at a concentration of 2 mM. The best separation of PIH and its synthetic precursors was achieved using a mixture of phosphate buffer (0.01 M NaH2PO4, 5 mM 1-heptanesulfonic acid sodium salt; pH 3.0) and methanol (55:45, v/v). For separation of SIH and its synthetic precursors, the mobile phase was composed of 0.01 M phosphate buffer (pH 6.0) and methanol (60:40, v/v). o-108 was analyzed employing a mixture of 0.01 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.0), methanol, and acetonitrile (60:20:20, v/v/v). These mobile phases were slightly modified to separate each chelator from its iron chelate. Furthermore, a RP-TLC method has also been developed for fast separation of all compounds. The chromatographic methods described herein could be applied in the evaluation of purity and stability of these drug candidates.     

Separation of uranium(VI) and transition metal ions with 4-(2-thiazolylazo)resorcinol by capillary electrophoresis

A capillary electrophoresis method utilizing 4-(2-thiazolylazo)resorcinol (TAR) was developed to separate uranium, cobalt, cadmium, nickel, titanium and copper metal ions. TAR was chosen as the visible absorbing chelating ligand because of its ability to form stable complexes with a wide variety of metals. Several parameters that included pH, electrophoretic run buffer concentration, buffer type and the influence of chelating ligand in the electrophoretic run buffer were examined to determine the best separating conditions. Optimum separation of the six metal chelates was achieved in a 15 mM Na2B4O7-NaH2PO4, pH 8.3 buffer containing 0.1 mM TAR. Method validation included injection and method precision studies as well as detection limit and linear dynamic range determination. High-ppb to low-ppm (w/w ratio) detection limits were achieved with linear dynamic ranges between 0.1 and 75 ppm.     

Study on sensitivity development of 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid by capillary zone electrophoresis-amperometric detection with p-methyl benzoate as stacking agent

For its high reactivity and very short half-life, the hydroxyl radical (OH.) in vivo is very difficult to be detected. Usually, it is indirectly quantified by determining 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,3-DHBA) and 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,5-DHBA), which are the reaction products of salicylic acid (SA) and OH.. Because 2,5-DHBA could be directly formed by the P(450) enzyme, only 2,3-DHBA is regarded as the real biomarker of OH.in biological studies. But the very low concentration of OH* in human bodies makes its determination very difficult and complicated. In this paper, a simple online stacking capillary zone electrophoresis coupled with amperometric detection (CZE-AD) method was explored to improve the detection sensitivity of 2,3-DHBA to reach the requirements in biological analysis. A mixture solution of 12.5 mmol/L Na(2)B(4)O(7)-25 mmol/L NaH(2)PO(4) (pH 7.9) was used as the running buffer and p-methyl benzoate was selected as a suitable stacker. The effects of the concentration, pH value, and injection time of p-methyl benzoate on stacking efficiency were carefully studied. Under the optimum stacking CZE-AD conditions, the detection sensitivity of 2,3-DHBA was improved about 20-fold and its detection limit reached the 10(-9) mol/L level. The experimental results showed that this was a potential method to determine OH* in vivo.

Simultaneous determination of artificial sweeteners, preservatives, caffeine, theobromine and theophylline in food and pharmaceutical preparations by ion chromatography.

A novel ion chromatographic method was proposed for the simultaneous determination of artificial sweeteners (sodium saccharin, aspartame, acesulfame-K), preservatives (benzoic acid, sorbic acid), caffeine, theobromine and theophylline. The separation was performed on an anion-exchange analytical column operated at 40 degrees C within 45 min by an isocratic elution with 5 mM aqueous NaH2PO4 (pH 8.20) solution containing 4% (v/v) acetonitrile as eluent, and the determination by wavelength-switching ultraviolet absorbance detection. The detection limits (signal-to-noise ratio 3:1) for all analytes were below the sub-microg/ml level. Under the experimental conditions, several organic acids, including citric acid, malic acid, tartaric acid and ascorbic acid, did not interfere with the determination. The method has been successfully applied to the analysis of various food and pharmaceutical preparations, and the average recoveries for real samples ranged from 85 to 104%. The levels of all analytes determined by this method were in good agreement with those obtained by the high-performance liquid chromatographic procedure. The results also indicated that ion chromatography would be possibly a beneficial alternative to conventional high-performance liquid chromatography for the separation and determination of these compounds.     

CE assay of methylmalonyl-coenzyme-a mutase activity

Methylmalonyl-coenzyme A mutase (MCM) is a 5'-deoxyadenosylcobalamin-linked mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the isomerization of L-methylmalonyl-coenzyme A to succinyl-coenzyme A. We described a method for methylmalonyl-CoA and succinyl-CoA separation by CE, suitable for the evaluation of MCM activity. The working conditions for optimal separation were obtained in order to achieve the best resolution in the shortest analysis time. The optimization of buffer composition together with other variables, such as injection time, separation voltage, migration time, and capillary temperature, resulted in a solution of 30 mM NaH2PO4 containing 15 mM SDS, pH 3.2. Separations were carried out in an uncoated fused-silica capillary (55 cm, 50 microm id) at -25 kV, reading at 254 nm. The method performance was evaluated by measuring total and holo-MCM activity in biological matrices such as rat liver and human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL). The mean MCM activity was expressed in nmol/h/mg protein of tissue/cell extract and was calculated from the amount of reaction product formed. The rapidity of analysis and utmost precision (repeatability and within-laboratory reproducibility) point out the potentialities of the proposed method for the differential diagnosis of methylmalonic acidemia, in relation to protein or coenzyme defects.
