Analytical procedures for quantification of peptides in pharmaceutical research by liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry

Peptide quantification by liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) combines the high resolving power of reversed-phase (RP) chromatography with the excellent selectivity and sensitivity of mass spectrometric detection. On the basis of comprehensive practical experience in the analysis of small molecules, pharmaceutical research is developing technologies for analysis of a growing number of peptidic drug candidates. This article is a detailed review of procedures based on LC–MS techniques for quantitative determination of peptides. With the focus on pharmaceutical applications several technologies for sample preparation, various aspects of peptide chromatography, important characteristics of ESI–MS, selectivity of MS-detection modes, the large variability of internal standards, and modern instrumentation are discussed. The demand for reliable, robust, sensitive, and accurate methods is discussed using numerous examples from the literature, complemented by experiments and results from our laboratory.     

Effect of silica-type sol-gel carrier’s structure and morphology on a supported Ziegler-Natta catalyst for ethylene polymerization

Silica xerogels with different structures and morphology, synthesized using a sol-gel procedure, were used as a carrier of vanadium catalysts (VOCl₃/AlEt₂Cl) for ethylene polymerization. Two techniques of catalyst synthesis were applied: slurry impregnation and gas-phase adsorption and the relevant polymerization methods were then employed. The effect of the carrier structure and morphology on the vanadium loading in the catalysts, the catalyst’s activity and kinetic stability were investigated.

Differential response of excision proficient and deficient L5178Y cells to UVC irradiation and benzamide

L5178Y-R and L5178Y-S cells differ in sensitivity to UVC radiation (D0 values: 2.8 and 9.0 J m-2 respectively, exposure in Fischer's medium). The UVC sensitivity is related to the excision repair ability. Benzamide (Bz), an inhibitor of adenosine diphosphoribosyl transferase (ADPRT), does not modify the lethal effect of UVC radiation in L5178Y-R cells, whereas it sensitizes L5178Y-S cells. The content of NAD+ after irradiation decreases only in the latter cells and this decrease can be prevented by 2 mM Bz treatment. In agreement with the survival data, in L5178Y-R cells neither the proportion of abnormal cells nor the frequency of chromatid aberration are affected by 2 mM Bz treatment, in contrast with L5178Y-S cells. Bz slightly reverses inhibition of 3H-thymidine incorporation only in L5178Y-S cells, but it does not affect the proportions of cells in the different phases of the cell cycle in either cell strain after UVC exposure. These data could be taken as an indirect indication of the involvement of ADPRT in DNA repair in UVC-irradiated L5178Y-S cells. However, the increase in the number of DNA strand breaks in UVC-exposed, Bz-treated cells compared with UVC-exposed untreated cells is the same in both L5178Y strains.

Transport properties of alkyltrimethylammonium bromide surfactants in aqueous solutions

Differential mutual diffusion coefficients of n-alkyltrimethylammonium bromides [CH₃(CH₂)_n–1N(CH₃)₃Br, C_nTAB] (n=10, 12, 14, 16) have been measured in aqueous solutions at 298.15 K using a conductimetric cell and an automatic apparatus to follow diffusion. The cell is based on an open-ended capillary, and the technique follows the diffusion process by measuring the resistance of a solution inside the capillaries at various times. The electrical conductances of those solutions have also been measured to calculate the critical micellar concentration (cmc). Thermodynamic analysis of the data suggests that the free ion concentration decreases at concentrations above the cmc, in agreement with theoretical predictions. The obtained values of the micellization parameters were used to model the mutual diffusion coefficients of C_nTAB aqueous solutions.     

Potential distribution around a charged spherical colloidal particle in a medium containing its counterions and a small amount of added salts

A theory is developed for the potential distribution around a charged spherical colloidal particle carrying ionized groups on the particle surface in a medium containing its counterions (i.e., counterions produced from dissociation of the particle surface groups) and a small amount of added salts on the basis of the theory of Imai and Oosawa. Numerical solutions to the Poisson–Boltzmann equation for the potential distribution are obtained for the case of dilute (but not infinitely dilute) particle suspensions of volume fraction 1 for a1 (where is the Debye–Hückel parameter and a is the particle radius). Here we have taken into account the effects of (i) counterions from the particle surface groups, and (ii) the finite particle volume fraction. These effects, which are usually neglected in the conventional Poisson–Boltzmann equation, are found to be important. It is found that, as in the case of completely salt-free media, there is a certain critical value of the particle charge (which is the same as that for the completely salt-free case). When the particle charge is lower than the critical value, the potential is given by a Coulomb potential. If the particle charge is higher than the critical value, then counterions are accumulated in the vicinity of the particle surface (counterion condensation) and the potential becomes less dependent on the particle charge. The above behaviors can be observed even for the case where the electrolyte concentration is higher than the concentration of counterions from the particle surface groups, if the conditions 1 and a1are both satisfied.
