脂溶性维生素C衍生物及氮氧自由基在胶束中络合平衡常数的测定

我们最近对维生素C及其脂溶性衍生物在胶束中的抗氧化活性的研究发现,尽管它们在均相溶液中的活性基本相同,但在胶束中却相差很大,强烈地依赖于氧化剂氮氧自由基及抗氧化剂在胶束中的络合程度.因此,测定它们在胶束中的分配系数及络合平衡常数,对讨论生物抗氧化剂在胶束中的反应活性有重要意义.

盐酸胍对反胶束中RNase A活性的影响

以胞嘧啶核苷酸2',3'-环单磷酸酯为底物研究了变性剂盐酸胍对十二胺丁酸盐-环己烷反胶束溶液中核糖核酸酶A活性的影响,同水溶液相比,盐酸胍对反胶束中酶活性的抑制作用很小。反胶束的大小限制了酶分子天然态构象的改变,从而保证了其活性中心的完整性。核糖核酸酶A的内源荧光研究发现,同水溶液相比,反胶束中蛋白的最大发射波长没有发生变化,但荧光偏振极化度增加,也表明了在反胶束中酶分子的运动自由度较在水溶液中有所降低。

Laser flash photolysis study on the retinol radical cation in polar solvents

Laser flash photolysis (LFP) of retinol in argon-saturated methanol gives rise to a transient at 580 nm (transient A). Formation of transient A is accompanied by a transient growth at 370 nm. The rate of this growth is retinol concentration-dependent. The transient growth at 370 nm was removed in the presence of N(2)O, which is known to scavenge solvated electrons. These results can be interpreted by formation of retinol˙(+) (λ(max) = 580 nm) and solvated electrons following LFP of retinol. Subsequently, the solvated electrons are rapidly scavenged by retinol to form retinol˙(-) (λ(max) = 370 nm in methanol). On the other hand, transient A is not ascribed to the retinyl cation, as was previously proposed, because the retinyl cation, generated from LFP of retinyl acetate, and transient A show different reactivities towards halide ions (e.g. k(Br) = 1.7 × 10(9) and 1.51 × 10(10) M(-1) s(-1) respectively, in acetonitrile). After demonstrating the identity of transient A as retinol˙(+), its reactions with carotenoids were examined in air-saturated polar solvents. In the presence of carotenoids, an enhancement in the decay of retinol˙(+) was observed and was accompanied by formation of the corresponding carotenoid radical cations via electron transfer from carotenoids to retinol˙(+). Furthermore, the reactivity of retinol˙(+) towards pyridine derivatives was investigated in air-saturated polar solvents. It was found that the decay of retinol˙(+) was accelerated with concomitant formation, with the same rate, of a transient at 370 nm. Similar observations were obtained with increasing pH of air-saturated aqueous 2% Triton X-100 of retinol˙(+). The 370 nm (or 380 nm in the case of Triton X-100) transient is attributed to the base adducts or deprotonated neutral radicals. On the basis of these results, the reactivities of the retinyl cation and retinol˙(+) are compared and the consequences of retinol˙(+) formation within biological environments are discussed.     

Micellar effects on photoprocesses in retinyl polyenes

The effects of micellar solubilization on excited-state properties of several retinyl polyenes have been examined primarily by nanosecond laser flash photolysis. The relative intensity of band system III (254–256 nm) in the ground state absorption spectrum of 11-cis retinal decreases significantly on going from methanol to micellar solutions, suggesting that the 12-s-trans form of 11-cis retinal is relatively favored in the organized media. In addition to microsecond transient phenomena due to triplets, the laser flash photolysis of all-trans and 11-cis retinal and all-trans retinyl Schiff base incorporated into micelles leads to ‘permanent’ absorption changes attributable to photoisomerization (in the case of retinals) and protonation and/or complexation with water (in the case of Schiff base). All-trans retinol and retinyl acetate in micellar solutions undergo ionic photodissociation leading to long-lived retinyl carbocation (λ_max = 585–600 nm), the process being monophotonic in the case of retinyl acetate and predominantly bipho-tonic in the case of retinol. The trends in the location of ground-state absorption maxima (^IB_u^+*←^IA_g) and triplet yield of retinals, and photodissociation yield of retinyl acetate suggest that the polarity of the environment probed by the polyene systems increases in the order: Triton X-100 < CTAB < NaLS.     

Detection of some retinoid radicals using high-performance liquid chromatography with electron spin resonance spectroscopy or electrochemical detection

Radical species were detected in the incubation mixtures of some retinoids (retinoic acid, retinal, retinol and retinyl acetate) by using the spin-trapping technique. The spin-adducts were resolved by high-performance liquid chromatography on a reversed-phase column with isocratic elution and detected by electron spin resonance spectroscopy and electrochemical detection. The spin-adducts were eluted in the order retinoic acid, retinol, retinyl acetate, in a similar manner to the retinoids themselves. These results suggest that the spin-adducts are products of nitrosobenzene with retinoid radicals in which the retinoid radicals retain their original chemical structures.     

ON THE OPTICAL SPECTRA OF SOLID FILMS OF RETINYL POLYENES. ISOMERIZATION DURING THE AUTOXIDATION?

Abstract— The UV spectra of solid amorphous films of all-trans retinyl polyenes. i. e. retinyl acetate, retinyl palmitate, axerophtene and retinal, on supports are investigated. It is shown that in the absence of oxygen the spectra of the films do not change at room temperature; in the presence of O₂ the fast oxidation of the polyenes occurs which in the case of retinol esters and axerophtene is accompanied by the shift of the absorption maxima to the shorter wavelengths. Consequently, the interpretation of blue shift of UV spectra of retinyl polyene films given by Hotchandani and Leblanc (1976) is incorrect. The formation of the only compound is shown to occur during the first stage of the oxidation of retinyl acetate and retinyl palmitate films. Proceeding from IR spectra of oxidized films the compound is assigned to the corresponding 11-cis isomer.     

Separation of retinyl esters by non-aqueous reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography

Rapid separation and sensitive quantitation of vitamin A esters can be achieved by use of an acetonitrile-dichloromethane (80:20) mobile phase with a 5-microns C18 column (15 cm X 4.6 mm) and absorbance detection at 325 nm. Either a Waters Resolve or a Rainin Microsorb column was used satisfactorily. Retinyl palmitate is eluted at about 7 min (capacity factor, k' = 5.5) at a flow-rate of 1.5 ml/min; retinyl palmitate and retinyl oleate, which are usually difficult to separate, are well resolved (resolution 1.2). Sensitivity (at a signal-to-noise ratio of 10:1) is 8 pmol retinyl palmitate (equivalent to 2.5 ng retinol). Quantitation of total retinyl esters is identical to that determined by a gradient high-performance liquid chromatographic technique over the range 30-1000 ng retinyl esters. Retinyl ester peaks in rat liver extracts were identified by their characteristic light absorption spectra, susceptibility to saponification, and by co-chromatography with authentic standards. Nine vitamin A ester peaks were identified and quantitated in rat liver extracts. A 10-microns Whatman Partisil 10/25 ODS-2 column was used with the same mobile phase to obtain partial resolution of retinyl esters (resolution 1.05 between retinyl oleate and retinyl palmitate; k' = 11.0 for retinyl palmitate) and improved retention for retinol (k' = 2.5, compared with k' = 0.6 for retinol on the 5-microns column).

Rapid analysis of the major classes of retinoids by step gradient reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography using retinal (O-ethyl) oxime derivatives

A rapid step-gradient reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method is presented for analysis of the major classes of retinoids in tissues. Retinal was converted into a new derivative, retinal (O-ethyl) oxime, since the standard derivative, retinaloxime, co-elutes with retinol on reversed-phase HPLC. The most abundant naturally occurring retinyl esters, retinyl palmitate and retinyl stearate, were eluted within 12 min to complete the separation. Retinoids were extracted in the presence of an antioxidant, butylated hydroxytoluene, and a lipid carrier, cholesterol. Recoveries of 98-100% were obtained from tissue samples by internal addition for the retinoids tested (retinol, retinal and retinyl palmitate); and the absolute recovery of endogenous retinal from rat eyecups was confirmed by spectrophotometric measurements of rhodopsin. Extraction was carried out in an air atmosphere and under subdued incandescent light rather than requiring inert atmosphere and safe-light conditions used in most methods. Cis-trans isomers were not separated under the reversed-phase HPLC conditions employed. Quantitation was carried out using retinyl acetate as internal standard and the day to day precision was better than 3.5%. A sensitivity of about 1 ng is obtained for all retinoids using absorbance monitoring at 325 nm and a C18 5 micrometers column with 12% reversed-phase loading. The tocopherols can also be separated and detected simultaneously with similar sensitivity by this method using a fluorescence detector in series [G. J. Handelman, L. J. Machlin, K. Fitch, J. J. Weiter and E. A. Dratz, J. Nutr., 115 (1985) 807].     

Simultaneous determination of benzophenone-3, retinol and retinyl acetate in pig ear skin layers by high-performance liquid chromatography

A new and simple HPLC method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of benzophenone-3, retinol and retinyl acetate in pig ear skin layers and percutaneous penetration samples after in vitro permeation experiments. HPLC analysis was performed utilizing a NovaPak C18 column with acetonitrile-water-acetic acid as mobile phase. UV detection was at 325 nm and the run time was 25 min. The detector response was found to be accurate, precise and linear across the analytical range. Analyte extraction from skin layers was done with methanol from the stratum corneum and epidermis, and with acetone from the dermis. Recovery was in all cases better than 90%. The HPLC assay and extraction procedure proposed are simple, rapid, sensitive and accurate. The method was then applied for the determination of benzophenone-3, retinol and retinyl acetate in pig ear skin layers after topical application.     

Determination of several retinoids, carotenoids and E vitamers by high-performance liquid chromatography. Application to plasma and tissues of rats fed a diet rich in either beta-carotene or canthaxanthin.

A method, using two different systems, is described for the high-performance liquid chromatographic analysis of retinol, retinal, retinoic acid, retinyl acetate, retinyl palmitate, alpha-, beta- and gamma-carotene, beta-apo-6'-, beta-apo-8', beta-apo-10'- and beta-apo-12'-carotenal, ethyl beta-apo-8'-carotenoate, alpha-tocopherol and alpha-tocopheryl acetate. The first system consists of a laboratory-packed Hypersil-ODS 3-microns column and a mobile phase of acetonitrile-methylene chloride-methanol-water (70:10:15:5, v/v). The second system consists of a laboratory-packed Hypersil-ODS 3-microns column and a mobile phase of acetonitrile-methylene chloride-methanol-water (70:10:15:5, v/v). The second system consists of a laboratory-packed Nucleosil C18 3-microns column and a mobile phase of acetonitrile-0.1 M ammonium acetate (80:20, v/v). The detection limits in standard solutions were 10 ng/ml for retinoids and carotenoids and 60 ng/ml for the E vitamers. Analysis of the tissues and plasma of rats, after 2 weeks on a diet supplemented with either beta-carotene or canthaxanthin (both 2 mg/g), led to the conclusion that the rats were able both to transport and store beta-carotene and canthaxanthin and to convert beta-carotene to retinol. Incubation of cytosol preparations from the mucosa of the small intestine of rat with 1 microgram of beta-carotene resulted in the formation of 10-20 ng of retinal within 1 h.     

Simultaneous determination of vitamin A and beta-carotene in dietary supplements by liquid chromatography

Several liquid chromatography (LC) methods for analysis of vitamin A in foods and feeds have been previously reported but only a few have been applied in non-food matrixes. A validated LC method is needed for determination of vitamin A and beta-carotene in the various matrixes presented by dietary supplements. The performance of a reversed-phase method with methanol-isopropanol gradient elution was evaluated with standard retinyl derivatives and beta-carotene. The reversed-phase method is capable of separating retinol from other derivatives such as retinyl acetate, retinyl palmitate, and beta-carotene. Two types of extraction were used to extract the analytes from the dietary supplements: a hexane-methylene chloride extraction for soft-gel capsules containing beta-carotene, and a direct solvent extraction for dietary supplements in tablet form. The direct solvent extraction consisted of treatment with ethanol and methylene chloride following addition of hot water (55 degrees C). Results with the reversed-phase method for vitamin A and beta-carotene in the products examined (n = 8) indicated excellent method performance. The main form of vitamin A or beta-carotene in dietary supplements was the all-trans isomer. The reversed-phase method avoids saponification and is rapid, accurate, precise, and suitable for simultaneous determination of retinyl derivatives and beta-carotene in dietary supplements.
