Reversed-phase,high-performance,thin-layer chromatography of metal tetrakis (p-tolyl) porphine complexes on octadecylbonded stationary phase

Summary The metal complexes ofmeso-tetrakis (p-tolyl) porphine (TTP) are chromatographed on octadecyl-bonded silica gel thin-layer with various organic solvents of relatively high polarity used as the eluent. The mobility of the metal-TTP complex depends on its centralmetal, increasing in the order of Cu(II)<Pd(II)NI(II)<TTP free acid<V(IV) as vanadyl<Zn(II)<Mg(II), although some irregularities are found with the different developing solvents used. The concept of Hildebrand's solubility parameter is applied to the discussion of the mobility of each compound, on the solvents used as the developer. Successful separation of the TTP compounds is performed by using a mixture of acetone and acetonitrile as the developer, although the Ni- and Pd-complexes are not completely resolved.     

High-performance liquid chromatographic determination of plasma histamine after pre-column derivatisation with o-phthaldialdehyde

Summary A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method has been developed for the sensitive and highly selective determination of histamine in plasma. This method includes selective extraction of histamine from plasma, pre-column derivatisation in aqueous phase with o-phthaldialdehyde (OPA) and HPLC analysis. The fluorescence of the histamine-OPA-complex was monitored at wavelengths of 350nm excitation and 450nm emission, after isocratic eluation with a mixture of 0.2 M NaCl and methanol. The reproducibility of this method including extraction, derivatisation and detection of histamine was >95% in a range of 0.35–17.6 pmol. The HPLC precision was 99±1% at 4 pmol of histamine. The lower limit of detection was 88fmol. A significantly increased concentration of plasma histamine was detected in patients (n=46) with various liver diseases (0.3–5.2 ng/ml). In comparison the plasma histamine levels of healthy blood donors were in the range of 0.0–0.4 ng/ml (p<0.01).     

Determination of metoprolol in human plasma by column switching high-performance liquid chromatography

Summary Retention characteristics of metoprolol have been studied in reversed phase mode on RP2, RP8 and CN columns. The plots of retention time as a function of the acetonitrile content and of the ionic strength of the mobile phase permitted the choice of the best conditions to separate metoprolol from plasma components by switching of these three types of columns.Human plasma (0.5–1 ml) diluted with water is first injected on a RP2 column (25–40 m particle diameter, prepared by dry packing) and rinsed with water. The sample is then back eluted with acetonitrile-0.022 M acetate buffer (7525, v:v) and switched to a CN column (10 cm long, 5 m particle diameter). The heart cut of the eluate is selected and loaded on a RP8 analytical column (25 cm long, 5 m particle diameter) with acetonitrile-0.088 M acetate buffer (7525, v:v) as mobile phase.Auto-sampler and switching valves are actuated automatically by a computing integrator based on a fixed time schedule. The duration of one cycle is about 30 min, but the last analytical step is about 15 min and represents the time interval between two injections. Metoprolol, its alpha-hydroxy metabolite and the internal standard are detected by fluorescence (_ex= 225 nm; _em > 320 nm).Presented at the 14th International Symposium on Chromatography London, September, 1982     

A novel amperometric sensor and chromatographic detector for determination of parathion

A novel amperometric sensor and chromatographic detector for determination of parathion has been fabricated from a multi-wall carbon nano-tube (MWCNT)/Nafion film-modified glassy-carbon electrode (GCE). The electrochemical response to parathion at the MWCNT/Nafion film electrode was investigated by cyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry. The redox current of parathion at the MWCNT/Nafion film electrode was significantly higher than that at the bare GCE, the MWCNT-modified GCE, and the Nafion-modified GCE. The results indicated that the MWCNT/Nafion film had an efficient electrocatalytic effect on the electrochemical response to parathion. The peak current was proportional to the concentration of parathion in the range 5.0×10^–9–2.0×10^–5 mol L^–1. The detection limit was 1.0×10^–9 mol L^–1 (after 120 s accumulation). In high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection (HPLC–ED) a stable and sensitive current response was obtained for parathion at the MWCNT/Nafion film electrode. The linear range for parathion was over four orders of magnitude and the detection limit was 6.0×10^–9 mol L^–1. Application of the method for determination of parathion in rice was satisfactory.

Microwave-assisted extraction of high-molecular-weight hemicelluloses from spruce wood

Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) at atmospheric pressure has been demonstrated as an efficient technology for the extraction of polymeric hemicelluloses from spruce sawdust. This technology was shown to be more efficient than conventional extraction. MAE leads to a high solubilization of wood and a selective extraction of hemicellulose polymers with high molecular weights. To optimize MAE, different treatment powers (125–573 W) of presoaked spruce sawdust in water and 1 M sodium hydroxide solution for a period of 60 min were tested. The yield of hemicellulose extraction increased with the microwave power in both mediums, but with a clear advantage for presoaked samples in basic medium. The characterization of extracted hemicelluloses has shown high extraction selectivity depending on the medium of impregnation of sawdust before MAE: High-molecular-mass acetylated galactoglucomannans (M_w ∼ 41 kDa) were isolated after presoaking in water and higher molecular mass arabinoglucoronoxylans (M_w ∼ 66 kDa) in basic medium.     

Fast protein separation and characterization by hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) and low angle laser light scattering photometry (LALLS)

Summary Fast gradient HIC has been interfaced with low angle laser light scattering photometry (LALLS) to separate and characterize proteins. Molecular weights (MWs) have been determined on-line for a set of four proteins. A fast HIC column has been used to elute proteins under fast (5 min) and conventional (10 min) gradients. Certain variables used in the calculation of MW, such as refractive index of the mobile phase (RI) and differential refractive index (dn/dc) have been calculated offline.The MWs for three of the four proteins studied matched literature values at any given gradient time. One of the proteins, -lactoglobulin-A (-LACT), was a dimer when injected. Our results have indicated that fast gradient HIC can be easily interfaced with LALLS in spite of a significant change in RI across the gradient.Dedicated to Professor Leslie S. Ettre on the occasion of his 70th birthday.     

Induction of mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) in cyanobacteria by solar ultraviolet-B radiation

Three filamentous and heterocystous N₂-fixing cyanobacteria, Anabaena sp., Nostoc commune and Scytonema sp. were tested for the presence of ultraviolet-absorbing mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) and their induction by solar ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation. High performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) studies revealed the presence of only one type of MAAs in all three cyanobacteria, that was identified as shinorine, a bisubstituted MAA containing both glycine and serine groups having an absorption maximum at 334 nm and a retention time of around 2.8 min. There was a circadian induction in the synthesis of MAAs when the cultures were exposed to mid-latitude solar radiation (Playa Unión, Rawson, Chubut, Patagonia, Argentina) for 3 days, 4–6th February, 2000. Solar radiation was measured by an ELDONET (European Light Dosimeter Network) filter radiometer permanently installed on the roof of the Estación de Fotobiología Playa Unión (43°18′ S; 65°03′ W). The maximum irradiances were around 450–500, 45–50 and 1.0–1.2 W m⁻² for PAR (photosynthetic active radiation), UV-A (ultraviolet-A) and UV-B (ultraviolet-B), respectively. PAR and UV-A had no significant impact on MAA induction while UV-B induced the synthesis of shinorine in all three cyanobacteria. Shinorine was found to be induced mostly during the light period. During the dark period the concentration stayed almost constant. In addition to shinorine, another unidentified, water-soluble, brownish compound with an absorption maximum at 315 nm was found to be induced by UV-B only in Scytonema sp. and released into the medium. This substance was neither found in Anabaena sp. nor in Nostoc commune. Judging from the results, the studied cyanobacteria may protect themselves from deleterious short wavelength radiation by their ability to synthesize photoprotective compounds in response to UV-B radiation.
