Isolation of antioxidants from Psoralea corylifolia fruits using high-speed counter-current chromatography guided by thin layer chromatography-antioxidant autographic assay

A combinative method using high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) and thin layer chromatography (TLC) as an antioxidant autographic assay was developed to separate antioxidant components from the fruits of Psoralea corylifolia. Under the guidance of TLC bioautography, eight compounds including five flavonoids and three coumarins were successfully separated from the fruits of P. corylifolia by HSCCC with an optimized two-phase solvent system, n-hexane–ethyl acetate–methanol–water (1:1.1:1.3:1, v/v/v/v). The separation produced 5.91 mg psoralen, 6.26 mg isopsoralen, 3.19 mg psoralidin, 0.92 mg corylifol A, and 2.43 mg bavachinin with corresponding purities of 99.5, 99.8, 99.4, 96.4, and 99.0%, as well as three sub-fractions, in a single run from 250 mg ethyl acetate fraction of P. corylifolia extract. Following an additional clean-up step by preparative TLC, 0.4 mg 8-prenyldaidzein (purity 91.7%), 4.18 mg neobavaisoflavone (purity 97.4%) and 4.36 mg isobavachalcone (purity 96.8%) were separated from the three individual sub-fractions. The structures of the isolated compounds were identified by ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR. The results of antioxidant activity estimation by electron spin resonance (ESR) method showed that psoralidin was the most active antioxidant with an IC₅₀ value of 44.7 μM. This is the first report on simultaneous separation of eight compounds from P. corylifolia by HSCCC.     

Indirect resolution of enantiomers of penicillamine by TLC and HPLC using Marfey's reagent and its variants

TLC and HPLC methods were developed for indirect chiral separation of penicillamine (3,3-dimethylcysteine) enantiomers after derivatization with Marfey's reagent (FDNP-Ala-NH(2)) and two of its structural variants, FDNP-Phe-NH(2) and FDNP-Val-NH(2). The binary mobile phase of phenol-water (3:1 v/v) and solvent combinations of acetonitrile and triethylamine phosphate buffer were found to give the best separation in normal and reversed-phase TLC, respectively. The diastereomers were also resolved on a reversed-phase C18 HPLC column with gradient elution of acetonitrile and 0.01 m trifluoroacetic acid. The results due to these three reagents were compared. The method was successful for checking the enantiomeric impurity of l-penicillamine in d-penicillamine and to check the enantiomeric purity of pharmaceutical formulations of d-penicillamine. The method was validated for linearity, repeatability, limit of detection and limit of quantification.

Hapten synthesis and antibody production for the development of a melamine immunoassay

The incorporation of melamine into food products is banned but its misuse has been widely reported in both animal feeds and food. The development of a rapid screening immunoassay for monitoring of the substance is an urgent requirement. Two haptens of melamine were synthesized by introducing spacer arms of different lengths and structures on the triazine ring of the analyte molecular structure. 6-Aminocaproic acid and 3-mercaptopropionic acid were reacted with 2-chloro-4,6-diamino-1,3,5-triazine (CAAT) to produce hapten 1 [3-(4,6-diamino-1,6-dihydro-1,3,5-triazin-2-ylamino) hexanoic acid] and hapten 2 [3-(4,6-diamino-1,6-dihydro-1,3,5-triazin-2-ylthio) propanoic acid], respectively. The molecular structures of the two haptens were identified by ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry, mass spectrometry and infrared spectrometry. An immunogen was prepared by coupling hapten 1 to bovine serum albumin (BSA). Two plate coating antigens were prepared by coupling both haptens to egg ovalbumin (OVA). A competitive indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ciELISA) was developed to evaluate homogeneous and heterogeneous assay formats. The results showed that polyclonal antibodies with high titers were obtained, and the heterogeneous immunoassay format demonstrated a better performance with an IC₅₀ of 70.6 ng mL⁻¹, a LOD of 2.6 ng mL⁻¹ and a LOQ of 7.6 ng mL⁻¹. Except for cyromazine, no obvious cross-reactivity to common compounds was found. The data showed that the hapten synthesis was successful and the resultant antisera could be used in an immunoassay for the rapid and sensitive detection of this banned chemical.     

Differently complex oligosaccharides can be easily identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption and ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry directly from a standard thin-layer chromatography plate

Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) is a simple, fast and inexpensive separation method. Unambiguous identification of the TLC spots is, however, often a problem. Here we show for the first time that oligosaccharides (derived from dextran, alginate, hyaluronan and chondroitin sulfate) can be characterized by matrix-assisted laser desorption and ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) directly on a TLC plate. The applied oligosaccharides were either commercially available or obtained from the polysaccharides by HCl-induced hydrolysis. Normal phase TLC was followed by MALDI-TOF MS subsequent to matrix deposition. It will be shown that high quality mass spectra can be obtained that enable unequivocal assignments. It will also be shown that the high content of formic acid in the solvent system does not confer major problems but is responsible for the partial formylation of the analyte and minor N-acetyl loss from hyaluronan and chondroitin sulfate.     

Improved online coupling of planar chromatography with electrospray mass spectrometry: extraction of zones from glass plates

A plunger-based extraction device for HPTLC/MS coupling, which was originally designed for extraction on TLC aluminum foils, was enhanced. The threefold modifications enabled extraction of analytes from glass-backed HPTLC/TLC plates after separation. A buffering of the plunger reduced the occurrence of leakage. The involvement of a torque screwdriver for the fixation resulted in a reproducible contact pressure and avoided breaking the glass plates. The employment of this device was also extended to plates with a layer thickness of 100 μm by reducing the height of the plunger’s cutting edge. Repeatability of the extraction from glass-backed plates, linearity of the signal obtained, and detection capability were shown to be comparable to the original device, which was only usable with aluminum foils. The influence of the elution solvent on the intensity of the MS signal was demonstrated to be a compromise between high elution power of the solvent and good solubility of the analyte in the elution solvent. The extraction device was employed for plates from different lots and for plates with different stationary phases thereby proving its general applicability in planar chromatography.

A simple TLC separation and semi-quantitative visual determination method was used to analyse the volatile phenols in the waste water of the petroleum industry and the grain irrigated by the waste water. The phenol in the rice irrigated by the water that contained phenol for artificial preparation was also studied. A preliminary conclusion was obtained, that the grain could absorb volatile phenols from irrigation water.
