Determination of 30 Free Fatty Acids in Two Famous Tibetan Medicines by HPLC with Fluorescence Detection and Mass Spectrometric Identification

A simple and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method with fluorescence detection and mass spectrometric identification has been developed for analysis of 30 long-chain and short-chain free fatty acids (FFAs). The fatty acids were derivatized to their esters with 1-[2-(p-toluenesulfonate)ethyl]-2-phenylimidazole-[4,5-f]-9,10-phenanthrene (TSPP) in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) at 90 °C with anhydrous K₂CO₃ as catalyst. A mixture of C₁–C₃₀ fatty acids was completely separated within 60 min by gradient elution on a reversed-phase C₈ column. Qualitative identification of the acids was performed by atmospheric-pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry (APCI–MS) in positive-ion mode. The fluorescence excitation and emission wavelengths were 260 and 380 nm, respectively. Quantitative determination of the 30 acids in two Tibetan medicines Gentiana straminea and G. dahurica was performed. The results indicated that the medicines contained many FFAs. Linear correlation coefficients for the FFA derivatives were >0.9991. Relative standard deviations (RSDs, n = 6) for the fatty acid derivatives were <3%. Detection limits (at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3:1) were 3.1–38 fmol. When the fatty acid derivatives were determined in the two real samples results were satisfactory and the sensitivity and reproducibility of the method were good.

A new labeling reagent for carboxylic acids, 2-(2-(anthracen-10-yl)-1H-phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazol-1-yl)ethyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate (APIETS) has been designed and synthesized. It was used to label eight fatty acids (lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, arachidic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid and linolenic acid) and four hydroxy pentacyclic triterpene acids (oleanolic acid, ursolic acid, betulinic acid and maslinic acid), successfully. APIETS could easily and quickly label carboxylic acids in the presence of K₂CO₃ catalyst at 85 °C for 35 min in N,N-dimethylformamide solvent. The carboxylic acids derivatives were separated on a C₈ reversed-phase column with gradient elution and fluorescence detection at λ_ex/λ_em = 315/435 nm. Identification of these derivatives was carried out by online mass spectrometry with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization in positive ion mode. The detection limits obtained were 13.37-30.26 fmol (signal-to-noise ratio of 3). The proposed method has been applied to the quantification of carboxylic acids in sultana raisin (Thompson seedless), hawthorn flake (Crataegus pinnatifida Bge.), Lycium barbarum seed oil and Microula sikkimensis seed oil with recoveries over 95.3%. It has been demonstrated that APIETS is a prominent labeling reagent for determining carboxylic acids with high performance liquid chromatography.     

Determination of trans-fatty acids in food samples based on the precolumn fluorescence derivatization by high performance liquid chromatography

Trans-fatty acids are unsaturated fatty acids that are considered to have health risks. 1,3,5,7-Tetramethyl-8-butyrethylenediamine-difluoroboradiaza-s-indacene is a highly sensitive fluorescent labeling reagent for carboxylic acids developed by our lab. In this study, using this precolumn fluorescent derivatization reagent, a rapid and accurate high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection method was developed for the determination of two trans-fatty acids in food samples. Under the optimized derivative conditions, two trans-fatty acids were tagged with the fluorescent labeling reagent in the presence of 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethyl-aminopropyl) carbodiimide at 25°C for 30 min. Then, the baseline separation of trans- and cis-fatty acids and their saturated fatty acid with similar structures was achieved with less interference using a reversed-phased C₁₈ column with isocratic elution in 14 min. With fluorescence detection at λ_ex/λ_em = 490 /510 nm, the linear range of the TFAs was 1.0-200 nM with low detection limits in the range of 0.1–0.2 nM (signal-to-noise ratio = 3). In addition, the proposed approach was successfully applied for the detection of trans-fatty acids in food samples, and the recoveries using this method ranged from 96.02 to 109.22% with low relative standard deviations of 1.2–4.3% (n = 6).     

Study of a new derivatizing reagent that improves the analysis of amino acids by HPLC with fluorescence detection: application to hydrolyzed rape bee pollen

A simple and sensitive method for evaluating the chemical compositions of protein amino acids, including cystine (Cys)₂ and tryptophane (Try) has been developed, based on the use of a sensitive labeling reagent 2-(11H-benzo[α]-carbazol-11-yl) ethyl chloroformate (BCEC–Cl) along with fluorescence detection. The chromophore of the 1,2-benzo-3,4-dihydrocarbazole-ethyl chloroformate (BCEOC-Cl) molecule was replaced with the 2-(11H-benzo[α]-carbazol-11-yl) ethyl functional group, yielding the sensitive fluorescence molecule BCEC–Cl. The new reagent BCEC–Cl could then be substituted for labeling reagents commonly used in amino acid derivatization. The BCEC–amino acid derivatives exhibited very high detection sensitivities, particularly in the cases of (Cys)₂ and Try, which cannot be determined using traditional labeling reagents such as 9-fluorenyl methylchloroformate (FMOC-Cl) and ortho-phthaldialdehyde (OPA). The fluorescence detection intensities for the BCEC derivatives were compared to those obtained when using FMOC-Cl and BCEOC-Cl as labeling reagents. The ratios I _BCEC/I _BCEOC = 1.17–3.57, I _BCEC/I _FMOC = 1.13–8.21, and UV_BCEC/UV_BCEOC = 1.67–4.90 (where I is the fluorescence intensity and UV is the ultraviolet absorbance). Derivative separation was optimized on a Hypersil BDS C₁₈ column. The detection limits calculated from 1.0 pmol injections, at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3, ranged from 7.2 fmol for Try to 8.4 fmol for (Cys)₂. Excellent linear responses were observed, with coefficients of >0.9994. When coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography, the method established here allowed the development of a highly sensitive and specific method for the quantitative analysis of trace levels of amino acids including (Cys)₂ and Try from bee-collected pollen (bee pollen) samples.     

Determination of Free Fatty Acids in Tibet Folk Medicine Potentilla anserina L. Using a New Labeling Reagent by LC with Fluorescence Detection and Identification with Online Atmospheric Chemical Ionization-MS Identification

A sensitive method for the determination of free fatty acids using 1,2-benzo-carbazole-9-ethyl-p-toluenesulfonate (BCETS) as tagging reagent with fluorescence detection has been developed. BCETS could easily and quickly label fatty acids in the presence of the K₂CO₃ catalyst at 80 °C for 30 min in N,N-dimethylformamide solvent. In this study, fatty acids from the extracted Potentilla anserina L. plant sample were sensitively determined. The corresponding derivatives were separated on a reversed-phase Eclipse XDB-C₈ column by LC in conjunction with gradient elution. The identification was carried out by post-column APCI-MS in positive-ion detection mode. BCETS-fatty acid derivatives gave an intense molecular ion peak at m/z [M+H]⁺, the collision-induced dissociation spectra of m/z [M+H]⁺ produced the specific fragment ions at m/z [M′+CH₂CH₂]⁺, m/z 216.6 and m/z [MH?H₂O]⁺ (here, M′: corresponding molecular mass of the fatty acids). The fluorescence excitation and emission wavelengths of the derivatives were at λ _ex 279 nm and λ _em 380 nm, respectively. Linear correlation coefficients for all fatty acid derivatives are more than 0.9994. Detection limits, at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3:1, are 10.79–34.19 fmol for the labeled fatty acids.     

4:3-β-naphthapyrone-4-acetic acidN-hydroxysuccinimidyl ester as a fluorescent labeling reagent for amino acids and oligopeptides in high-performance liquid chromatography

Summary 4:3-β-Naphthapyrone-4-acetic acidN-hydroxysuccinimidyl ester (NPA-OSu) is a highly sensitive and moderately reactive derivatizing reagent with a naphthapyrone moiety as fluorophore and anN-hydroxysuccinimidyl active ester as reactive group toward amino compounds. It is readily prepared in two steps. The fluorescence properties of NPA-OSu and its hydrolysis product have been studied in detail, and the conditions for derivatization and separation of the NPA-OSu derivatives of some amino acids and oligopeptides have been investigated. Atλ _ex = 352 nm andλ _em = 422 nm the detection limits (signal-to-noise ratio=3) for amino acids and oligopeptides reached fmol levels, for injection of 20 μL; this sensitivity was comparable with that obtained by use of 7-(diethylamino)coumarin-3-carboxylic acid succinimidyl ester as derivatizing reagent in the analysis of amino acids by capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced-fluorescence detection.
