Preparative Isolation and Purification of Altertoxin I from an Alternaria sp. by HSCCC

Altertoxin I (ATX I) is one of the common mycotoxins produced by genus Alternaria which is a common food pathogen of fruits and grains. To prepare enough quantity of pure ATX I for further research of mutagenicity and toxicology tests, a novel method using preparative high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) was developed. The ethyl acetate crude extracts of the acetone washes obtained after fermentation of Alternaria sp. was separated using a two-phase solvent system composed of n-hexane–ethyl acetate–methanol–water (2:5:5:6, v/v). Collected fractions were analyzed by LC and identified by EI–MS and NMR analysis. The technique can isolate mg levels of the target compound per run.

Isolation and Purification of Highly Polar Antioxidants from Chirita longgangensis by Combination of Macroporous Resin and HSCCC

An efficient and simple method to isolate and purify highly polar antioxidants from the antioxidant active site of Chirita longgangensishas been established. Firstly, the antioxidant active site was enriched with D101 macroporous resin, and then high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) was used with the two-phase solvent system ethyl acetate–n-butanol–methanol–water (5:0.1:0.5:4.5, v/v) to obtain four antioxidants in one step. They were identified as plantainoside D (28.4 mg), plantainoside B (9.5 mg), calcedarioside B (18.1 mg) and calcedarioside A (16.7 mg) by analysis of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra. The purities were all above 97 % as determined by HPLC. The inhibiting effects of the crude extracts, enriched fraction and the obtained compounds on superoxide anion radical, hydroxyl radical and hydrogen peroxide were determined by different chemiluminescence (CL) systems. The result shows that all of them have good antioxidant activity. However, the sequence of antioxidant abilities among compounds I–IV was different when assayed by different CL systems (superoxide anion radical, hydroxyl radical, and hydrogen peroxide). This is the first report on preparative isolation and purification of antioxidants from C. longgangensis by HSCCC combined with macroporous resin and their inhibition of free radical-induced luminol chemiluminescence.

Simultaneous determination and pharmacokinetic study of giraldoid a,giraldoid B in rat plasma after oral administration of Daphne giraldii Nitsche extracts by LC–MS/MS

A simple sensitive LC–MS/MS method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of giraldoid A and giraldoid B in rat plasma. The method was applied to pharmacokinetics studies of the two compounds from Daphne giraldii Nitsche. Chromatographic separation was accomplished on an Acquity UPLC™ BEH C₁₈ column (100 × 2.1 mm, 1.7 mm) by gradient elution with a flow rate of 0.2 mL min⁻¹_. The method was linear over the concentration range of 1.0–1000 ng mL⁻¹, and the lower limits of quantification were 1.04 ± 0.10 and 1.04 ± 0.09 ng mL⁻¹, respectively. The intra‐ and inter‐day precisions (RSD) were <10.14 and 9.96%. The extraction recovery of the analytes was acceptable. Stability studies demonstrated that the two compounds were stable in the preparation and analytical process. The maximum plasma concentration was 687.78 ± 243.62 ng mL⁻¹ for giraldoid A and 952.38 ± 131.99 ng mL⁻¹ for giraldoid B. The time to reach the maximum plasma concentration was 0.50 ± 0.37 h for giraldoid A and 0.50 ± 0.66 h for giraldoid B. The validated method was successfully applied to investigate the concentration–time profiles of giraldoid A and giraldoid B.     

Preparative Purification and Isolation of Pyranoanthocyanins from Red Wine and Evaluation of Their Antioxidant Activity

Untreated silica gel was used as the stationary phase for a simple and cost-effective prepurification of 5-carboxypyranoanthocyanins from red wine enriched by the addition of pyruvic acid. The composition of the fractions obtained was analyzed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC/MS²) and the results enabled the changes in 5-carboxypyranoanthocyanin profile during preparative separation to be described and explained. Repeated purification on silica gel followed by reversed-phase separation enabled the isolation of 5-carboxypyranomalvidin-3-glucoside in high purity and represents a cheap and robust alternative to the commonly used procedures. Reversed-phase preparative chromatography with an isocratic elution [15 % acetonitrile in water (v/v)] provided sufficient resolution, showing that the addition of an acid is not necessary in anthocyanin separation. The antioxidant capacity of 5-carboxypyranomalvidin-3-glucoside was compared with malvidin-3-glucoside and a group of common polyphenols (e.g., gallic acid, quercetin, rutin, and catechin).

Preparative Chromatography and Purification

Abstract

The chiral stationary phases (CSP's) that have proceeded from the work of Dr. Pirkle of the University of Illinois have characteristics especially useful to preparative liquid chromatography: Packings made with such CSP's can be highly efficient, lose efficiency only gradually when overloaded and regain it immediately when overload is removed, and allow the elution order of enantiomers to be reversed. These have been used at Regis in both preparative and analytical chromatography: in demonstration, to purify an enantiomer to 99.9967% optical purity and to determine that degree of optical purity with adequate precision and sensitivity. Both the relevant theory and the experimental work suggest that preparative trace-first chromatography is eminently suited to purification to high degree, and becoming the better suited as the degree of purity increases.
