Resolution of amine enantiomers using precolumn derivatization with dansyl-L-proline and reversed-phase liquid chromatography

A derivatization procedure was developed for converting enantiomeric amino acids, amino alcohols and amines into diastereoisomers for resolution by liquid chromatography. Dansyl-L-proline (DLP) was used as a chiral reagent for the precolumn derivatization of many enantiomeric compounds bearing primary and secondary amino groups. The diastereoisomeric amides that were formed in the presence of diethyl phosphorocyanidate can be resolved efficiently on a conventional reversed-phase column. The resolution was optimized by varying the mobile phase. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding of the diastereoisomeric amide is shown to be very important for the efficient resolution of enantiomers. The detection limits for DLP derivatives were 4 × 10^?14?5 × 10^?14 mol.

The calibration curves of both the d-T₄ and l-T₄ were linear over the concentration range of 0.13-13 μg/ml. The detection limits (S/N = 3) were 28 ng/ml for d-T₄ and 40 ng/ml for l-T₄, respectively. The relative standard deviations (RSD, n = 5) were less than 3.6% at 1.3 μg/ml for both T₄ enantiomers. The proposed method was applied to the determination of l-T₄ enantiomer in a pharmaceutical formulation.

Simultaneous determination of mycophenolic acid and valproic acid based on derivatization by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection

A reliable and validated reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method using fluorescence detection is reported for the simultaneous quantitation of mycophenolic acid (MPA) and valproic acid (VPA) in human plasma. The method is based on the pre-column derivatization of valproic acid with 4-bromomethyl-6, 7-dimethoxycoumarin (BrMMC) and online solvatochromism of MPA by pH adjustment. The linear calibration range was 0.50-30 microg/mL for MPA and 5.00-150 microg/mL for VPA. The relative standard deviations of the method of intra- and inter-day analyses (n = 6) were below 6.5 and 6.7% for MPA, and 5.8 and 6.3% for VPA, respectively. Dichloromethane was used for the simultaneous extraction of MPA and VPA from acidified plasma. This reliable method can be applied in the analysis of MPA and VPA in human plasma using only a small volume (100 microL).

Automated precolumn derivatization system for analyzing physiological amino acids by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry

An automated method for high‐throughput amino acid analysis, using precolumn derivatization high‐performance liquid chromatography/electrospray mass spectrometry (HPLC/ESI‐MS), was developed and evaluated. The precolumn derivatization step was performed in the reaction port of a home‐built auto‐sampler system. Amino acids were derivatized with 3‐aminopyridyl‐N‐hydroxysuccinimidyl carbamate, and a 3 μm Wakosil‐II 3C8‐100HG column (100 × 2.1 mm i.d.) was used for separation. To achieve a 13 min cycle for each sample, the derivatization and separation steps were performed in parallel. The results of the method evaluation, including the linearity, and the intra‐ and inter‐precision, were sufficient to measure physiological amino acids in human plasma samples. The relative standard deviations of typical amino acids in actual human plasma samples were below 10%. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The system provides means for automation with good precision and minimizing error in solution handling with the RSD of less than 6%. The detection limits obtained were 2 microg/L for Cu(II) and Co(II), and 1 microg/L for Ni(II) and Fe(II). The method was successfully applied for the determination of metal ions in various samples, including milk powder for infant, mineral supplements, local wines, and drinking water.

Summary Optimum conditions were obtained for the determination of low-molecular epoxides by a method based on derivatization with picric acid and thin-layer chromatography on silica gel. The chromatograms were visualized with solutions of primary, secondary or tertiary amines in acetone. Most of the monoepoxides gave only one spot; diepoxides gave two spots. The detection limits for highly reactive epoxy compounds (derivatization time less than 2 hours) were estimated to be approx. 0.02 μmole.     

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).     

Analysis of palytoxin-like in Ostreopsis cultures by liquid chromatography with precolumn derivatization and fluorescence detection

A rapid liquid-chromatography (LC) method is presented which uses fluorescence detection (FLD) for palytoxin analogues analysis in benthic dinoflagellates of the genus Ostreopsis. The amino-acidic reagent 6-aminoquinolyl-N-hydroxisuccinimidyl carbamate (AccQ) was used for fluorescence labelling followed by LC-FLD.The efficacy of the method is exemplified by comparison of the results of the quantification obtained by LC-FLD and the hemolytic assay performed for palytoxins for which a highly significant linear correlation was achieved (r² = 0.9118). The derivatized palytoxin analogues were determined in the range of 0.75-25 ng.The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination and quantification of palytoxin analogues in 14 samples from different strains of Ostreopsis from different locations (Western Mediterranean Sea, Canary Islands, Madeira Islands and Southern coasts of Brazil). To confirm the chemical structure of the toxins, samples were also analyzed by liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS) with a system that has a poorer sensitivity when compared with LC-FLD detection and the hemolytic assay. The successful use of this method with dinoflagellates is a good indicator of suitability for other types of marine samples.     

Separation and determination of the enantiomers of lactic acid and 2‐hydroxyglutaric acid by chiral derivatization combined with gas chromatography and mass spectrometry

Lactic acid and 2‐hydroxyglutaric acid are chiral metabolites that have two distinct d‐ and l ‐enantiomers with distinct biochemical properties. Perturbations of a single enantiomeric form have been found to be closely related to certain diseases. Therefore, the ability to differentiate the d and l enantiomers is important for these disease studies. Herein, we describe a method for the separation and determination of lactic acid and 2‐hydroxyglutaric acid enantiomers by chiral derivatization (with l‐ menthol and acetyl chloride) combined with gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. The two pairs of above‐mentioned enantiomers exhibited linear calibration curves with a correlation coefficient (R²) exceeding 0.99. The measured data were accurate in the acceptable recovery range of 88.17–102.30% with inter‐ and intraday precisions (relative standard deviations) in the range of 4.23–17.26%. The limits of detection for d‐ lactic acid, l‐ lactic acid, d‐ 2‐hydroxyglutaric acid, and l‐ 2‐hydroxyglutaric acid were 0.13, 0.11, 1.12, and 1.16 μM, respectively. This method was successfully applied to analyze mouse plasma. The d‐ lactic acid levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus mouse plasma were observed to be significantly higher (P < 0.05, t‐test) than those of normal mice, suggesting that d‐ lactic acid may serve as an indicator for type 2 diabetes mellitus.
