Quantitative structure-retention and retention-activity relationships of beta-blocking agents by micellar liquid chromatography.
2001
Abstract Sixteen β-blocking agents (acebutolol, alprenolol, atenolol, bisoprolol, carteolol, celiprolol, esmolol, labetalol, metoprolol, nadolol, oxprenolol, pindolol, practolol, propranolol, sotalol and timolol) showing a large range of hydrophobicity (octanol–water partition coefficients, log P between −0.026 and 2.81) were subjected to micellar liquid chromatography with sodium dodecyl sulfate as micelle forming agent, and n-propanol as organic modifier. The correlation between log P and the retention factor extrapolated to a mobile phase free of micelles and organic modifier was investigated. The use of an interpolated retention factor or the retention factor for specific individual exp…
Chromatographic analysis of phenethylamine-antihistamine combinations using C8, C18 or cyano columns and micellar sodium dodecyl sulfate-pentanol mix…
2001
The chromatographic behaviour of binary and ternary mixtures of several phenethylamines (phenylephrine, phenylpropanolamine, ephedrine, pseudoephedrine and methoxyphenamine) and antihistamines (pheniramine, carbinoxamine, doxylamine, chlorpheniramine, dexchlorpheniramine, dexbrompheniramine, diphenhydramine, tripolidine, azatadine and phenyltoloxamine), found in cough-cold pharmaceutical preparations, was studied using C8, C18 and cyano columns, micellar mobile phases of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and pentanol and UV detection. Using a C8 column and mobile phases of 0.05 mol l-1 SDS-6% v/v pentanol or 0.15 mol l-1 SDS-2% v/v pentanol at pH 7, more than 30 different phenethylamine-antihist…
Improvement of peak shape and separation performance of beta-blockers in conventional reversed-phase columns using solvent modifiers.
2003
A comparative study of peak shape, elution behavior, and resolution of 16 beta-blockers (acebutolol, alprenolol, atenolol, bisoprolol, carteolol, celiprolol, esmolol, labetalol, metoprolol, nadolol, oxprenolol, pindolol, practolol, propranolol, sotalol, and timolol) chromatographed with hybrid mobile phases of triethylamine (TEA)-acetonitrile and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-propanol is performed using conventional reversed-phase columns and isocratic elution. Both solvent modifiers (TEA and SDS) prevent the interaction of the basic drugs with the alkyl-bonded phase. However, the protection mechanisms of silanols on the packing are different. Whereas TEA associates with the silanol sites (b…
Micellar-organic versus aqueous-organic mobile phases for the screening of β-blockers
2002
A comparative study of the performance of reversed-phase liquid chromatography with micellar-organic (MLC) and aqueous-organic (RPLC) mobile phases is reported for the separation of 16 -blockers (acebutolol, alprenolol, atenolol, bisoprolol, carteolol, celiprolol, esmolol, labetalol, metoprolol, nadolol, oxprenolol, pindolol, practolol, propranolol, sotalol, and timolol). MLC with hybrid mobile phases of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and propanol is revealed as a very competitive technique for the screening of these drugs. Using a conventional Spherisorb C18 column, the theoretical plates ( N) and asymmetry factors (B/A) for the optimal mobile phase compositions were in the ranges N = 2200–4…
Description of the retention behaviour in micellar liquid chromatography as a function of pH, surfactant and modifier concentration
1997
Abstract Micellar liquid chromatography permits the elution of solutes of diverse polarity. One of the most outstanding advantages of the technique is its capability of predicting the retention with high accuracy, as a function of different experimental variables. The separation of a group of compounds is usually optimized by varying the concentrations of surfactant and modifier in the mobile phase. The pH is, however, for many solutes, a variable that should be considered in the description of their elution behaviour. A global model that takes into account, simultaneously, the concentrations of surfactant and modifier, and the pH as chromatographic variables, is proposed for ionizable solu…
Micellar liquid chromatography: suitable technique for screening analysis.
2002
The screening capability of micellar liquid chromatography (MLC) is discussed using the reported chromatographic data of several sets of compounds (amino acids, beta-blockers, diuretics, phenethylamines, phenols, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, steroids and sulfonamides) and new results (sulfonamides and steroids). The chromatographic data are treated with an interpretive optimisation resolution procedure to obtain the best separation conditions. Usually, the pH and the concentration of surfactant (sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS, or cetyltrimethylammonium bromide) for the optimal mobile phase were 2.5-3 and0.12 M, respectively. The nature and concentration of organic solvent depended on the…
Determination of SiO 2 in lime mud by gravimetry
1999
A simple and rapid method for the determination of SiO2 in lime mud used in current sulfate pulping practice is reported. The lime mud samples are treated three times with 2.5 mL of 6 mol/L hydrochloric acid. The samples are nearly evaporated to dryness two times and the third time to complete dryness. To determine the exact SiO2 content of the residue, it is treated with an excess of concentrated hydrofluoric acid and a little hydrochloric acid, and the silica is expelled as volatile silicon tetrafluoride. The sample treatments take about 1.5 h and the heating periods take a total of about 3.5 h. The SiO2 results were evaluated by analyzing National Institute of Standards and Technology St…
Isolation and partial characterization of uronic acid-containing glycoproteins from Mucor rouxii.
1995
Five different fractions containing uronic acids associated with protein were isolated from the cytoplasm of the filamentous form of Mucor rouxii. A signle fraction was isolated from the cell wall by hot sodium dodecyl sulfate followed by ion exchange column chromatography. Two cytoplasmic entities (peaks I and II) were not adsorbed to DEAE Bio-Gel A. The molecular mass of peaks I to V ranged from 16.5 to 210 kDa. The protein-uronic acid ratios were different for each fraction. The cell wall fraction showed a molecular mass of 16.5 kDa, similar to that of peak II but with differences in chromatographic behavior and protein-uronic acid ratio. The possible role of these molecules as acceptors…
Purification and Characterization of <I>Bacillus cereus</I> Protease Suitable for Detergent Industry
2005
An extracellular alkaline protease from an alkalophilic bacterium, Bacillus cereus, was produced in a large amount by the method of extractive fermentation. The protease is thermostable, pH tolerant, and compatible with commercial laundry detergents. The protease purified and characterized in this study was found to be superior to endogenous protease already present in commercial laundry detergents. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate precipitation, concentration by ultrafiltration, anion-exchange chromatography, and gel filtration. The purified enzyme had a specific activity of 3256.05 U/mg and was found to be a monomeric protein with a molecular mass of 28 and 31 kD…
Role of the co-surfactant nature in soybean w/o microemulsions.
2008
Abstract The influence of the co-surfactant on physicochemical properties of w/o soybean oil microemulsions (MEs) has been studied. In spite of the similarity in phase diagrams, the MEs display remarkable differences when examined by electrical conductivity, dynamic light scattering (DLS), small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and linear voltammetry. When different short-chain alcohols were employed as co-surfactants, together with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as surfactant, the DLS results indicated the systems to be monodisperse. Both the electrical conductivity of the MEs and the hydrodynamic radii of the droplets (RH) increased with water content while RH diminished as temperature increas…
