High-throughput purification of combinatorial libraries I: a high-throughput purification system using an accelerated retention window approach

We have developed a high-throughput purification system to purify combinatorial libraries at a 50-100-mg scale with a throughput of 250 samples/instrument/day. We applied an accelerated retention window method to shorten the purification time and targeted one fraction per injection to simplify data tracking, lower QC workload, and simplify the postpurification processing. First, we determined the accurate retention time and peak height for all compounds using an eight-channel parallel LC/UV/MS system, and calculated the specific preparative HPLC conditions for individual compounds. The preparative HPLC conditions include the compound-specific gradient segment for individual compounds with a fixed gradient slope and the compound-specific UV or ELSD threshold for triggering a fraction collection device. A unique solvent composition or solvent strength was programmed for each compound in the preparative HPLC in order to elute all compounds at the same target time. Considering the possible deviation of the predicted retention time, a 1-min window around the target time was set to collect peaks above a threshold based on UV or ELSD detection. Dual column preparative instruments were used to maximize throughput. We have purified more than 500 000 druglike compounds using this system in the past 3 years. We report various components of this high-throughput purification system and some of our purification results.     

Thermodynamic and Equilibrium Composition Analysis of Using Iron Oxide as an Oxygen Carrier in Nonflame Combustion Technology

1. Introduction The utilization of fossil fuels causes serious neg- ative impacts on the environment and human life. There are many pollutants such as SOx, NOx and CO2 emission produced from the combustion of coal, oil and natural gas. It has been known for more than 100 years that CO2 is a greenhouse gas and that the release of CO2 from fossil fuel combustion may affect the climate of the earth. In the last years the concern over the aspects of an increased release of greenhouse gases has…

Carbon nanotube assisted synthesis of CeO2 nanotubes

CeO₂ nanotubes have been synthesized facilely using carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as templates by a liquid phase deposition method. The properties of the CeO₂ nanotubes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectrum (XPS) as well as thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA). The obtained CeO₂ nanotubes with a polycrystalline face-centered cubic phase have a uniform diameter ranging from 40 to 50 nm. The CeO₂ nanotubes are composed of many tiny interconnected nanocrystallites of about 10 nm in size. The pretreatment of CNTs and calcination temperature were confirmed to be the crucial factors determining the formation of CeO₂ nanotubes. A possible formation mechanism has been suggested to explain the formation of CeO₂ nanotubes.

Liquid Chromatographic Analysis of Arabinosylcytosin and 1-β-D-Arabinofuranosyluracil in Treatment with Cyclophosphamide and Pirarubicin

A reversed-phase liquid chromatographic (RPLC) method has been developed for determination of arabinosylcytosin (Ara-C) and its metabolite 1-β-D-arabinofuranosyluracil (Ara-U) on a 250 mm × 4.6 mm i.d., 5 μm particle, Diamonsil C₁₈ column. The mobile phase was a mixture of 5% methanol and 95% 10 mmol L⁻¹ phosphate buffer adjusted to pH 5.5. The flow-rate was 1.0 mL min⁻¹ and the injection volume 20 μL. Eluting compounds were detected at 270 nm by use of an ultraviolet detector. Under these LC conditions cyclophosphamide (CTX) and pirarubicin (THP), two other medicines given with Ara-C in clinical treatment, do not interfere with measurement of Ara-C and Ara-U. Individual calibration plots of peak area against concentration generated from analysis of standard solutions were used to calculate the concentrations of Ara-C and Ara-U in sample solutions. The calibration plot was linear in the range 2.5–100 μg mL⁻¹, the average recovery of Ara-C and Ara-U was more than 98% (RSD < 2.5%), and between-day and within-day precision, expressed as relative standard deviation (RSD), were below 4.0%. LOQ for both Ara-C and Ara-U was 2 μg mL⁻¹. The method is rapid, simple, accurate and reproducible, and especially useful for application to patient samples.
