HPLC Assay of Phospholipase A2 Activity Using Low-Temperature Derivatization of Fatty Acids

Abstract

A modified isocratic reverse phase high-performance liquid-chromatographic (RP-HPLC) method for phospholipase (PLA) activity assay is developed. Natural lecithins and synthetic phospholipids are used as substrates, and released fatty acids are analyzed after single-phase derivatization (with p-bromophenacyl bromide) at low temperature. The procedure allows simultaneous determination of the total and specific phospholipase activity. This method was successfully applied to snake venom PLA₂ activity assay using natural (soybean and egg yolk lecithins) and synthetic (dipalmytoylphosphatydylcholine) substrates for quantitative determination of the enzyme activity.

Evaluation of N-Substituted 2,4-Dihydroxyphenylthioamide Fungicide Lipophilicity Using the Chromatographic Techniques HPLC and HPTLC

2,4-Dihydroxyphenylthioamide derivatives modified on the N-aryl ring have substantial fungicidal activity. To determine their quantitative structure–activity relationships their lipophilicity was determined by use of the chromatographic methods column liquid chromatography and thin-layer chromatography. Methanol–water systems were used as mobile phases and the linear dependences of retention (R_M and log k) on volume fraction of organic modifier, φ, were determined. This enabled precise determination of lipophilicity (R_Mw and log k_w) by extrapolation. Correlations were found between quantities characterizing the lipophilicity of the compounds. Deviations enabled discovery of compound structural features which increase or reduce lipophilicity. When these data were correlated with biological activity against the phytopathogenic fungi Alternaria alternata and Botrytis cinerea parabolic dependences were obtained.

Instrumental HPTLC of Aflatoxins: Fluorescence Enhancement by Corn Free Fatty Acids

Abstract

Greater than 100% recoveries using instrumental HPTLC were observed for aflatoxin (AFT) analysis in spiked corn samples. I₂ detection of spots over-laying AFT B₁ and B₂ were identified by GLC as C₁₆ ^?c18 free fatty acids (FFA). These FFA were found to enchance the fluorescence of AFT B₁ from 13.7% to 35.7% greater than controls resulting in >100% recoveries. The inclusion of glacial acetic acid in the TLC mobile phase resulted in an increased mobility of the FFA which eliminated the positive interference on AFT fluorescence. Recoveries using the modified developing solvent then gave values in acceptable ranges.

Densitometric Determination of Hecogenin from Agave americana Leaf Using HPTLC

We report a simple TLC densitometric method for the quantification of hecogenin from the leaves of Agave americana using HPTLC. The method was validated for precision, repeatability and accuracy. The method was found to be precise with RSD of 0.78 (intraday) and 0.82 (interday) for different concentrations of hecogenin. Instrumental precision was 0.42 (% RSD) for hecogenin. The content of hecogenin in different samples was estimated by the proposed method and was found to be in the range of 0.05−0.14% w/w in the samples analysed. Accuracy of the method was checked by conducting recovery study at three different levels for hecogenin and the average percentage recovery was 98.98%, 101.92% and 103.33%, respectively. The TLC densitometric method developed for the quantification of hecogenin was found to be simple, precise, specific, sensitive, accurate and can be used in routine quality control.

Fast Analysis of Free Amino Acids in Tobacco by HPLC with Fluorescence Detection and Automated Derivatization

A fast, simple, and sensitive HPLC method for the determination of free amino acids in tobacco was described. A fully automated sample processor performed precolumn derivatization of both primary and secondary amino acids with o‐phthalaldehyde/3‐mercaptopropionic acid and 9‐fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (FMOC‐Cl), respectively. All reactions were fully automated by means of an injector programme and accomplished in 10 min. Sample preparation consisted of a single step of extraction with 0.1 mol/L HCl at ambient temperature (assisted by sonication) in 30 min, followed by filtration of an aliquot and derivatization. By optimization of sample preparation and HPLC conditions, separation of 20 amino acids in 30 min was achieved. Detection limits ranged from 0.50 to 1.40 μg/g; coefficients of variation ranged from 1.8% to 3.9%; recoveries ranged from 84.6% to 108.5%. The method was applied to the analysis of amino acids contents of tobacco leaves in different varieties and flue‐curing period.

Screening of Humic Substances Extracted from Leonardite for Free Radical Scavenging Activity Using DPPH Method

Humic substances (HSs) have been researched for a long time and still manage to surprise humanity today. According to the latest research, in addition to their previously well-known effects, they also have antioxidant properties. However, this previous research does not examine the difference in the antioxidant effect of the fractions extracted/produced in different processes; they do not consider the light absorption of the HSs, which falsifies analysis based on the measurement of color change over time. In the present work, HS fractions were obtained from leonardite, the extraction processes can also be implemented on an industrial scale. The fractions were characterized by elementary analysis, UV–Vis and FT-IR spectroscopies, to prove that our self-extracted samples have similar characteristics to the International Humic Substances Society (IHSS) standard samples. The different methods of HS fractionation affected the elemental composition, and the spectral characteristics. The antioxidant effect was investigated using the DPPH method to screen the antioxidant efficiency of humic, fulvic, and himatomelanic acids. In addition, we compared our results with the IHSS standard samples to obtain a more comprehensive picture of the antioxidant effect of HSs extracted in different ways according to the DPPH method. Based on our results, the extraction method affects not only the physico-chemical properties but also the free radical scavenging activity of the fractions.
