Study on the efficiency of assembled packed microbore columns in HPLC

1984

Stainless steel columns (internally mirror-finished, 125 or 250nm in length, of bore 1.0 or 1.6mm) were slurry-packed with 5µm and 4µm reversed phase silicas (Hypersil ODS, LiChrosorb RP-8 and RP-18 and Superspher RP-8. The HPLC equipment consisted of a pump LC5A (Shimadzu) or a pump 2150 (LKB Instruments), a rheodyne valve 7413 with loops of 0.5, 1.0 and 5.0mm3 and a Jasco-Uvidec 100-II UV detector, variously with one of three specially constructed cells of 0.2, 0.4 and 1.3mm3 volume. Columns were assembled using two types of coupling device employing a stainless steel capillary of 0.12mm bore. The effect of sample volume, design of coupling device in assembled column, detector cell volume…

Chemical reduction of the mycotoxin beauvericin using allyl isothiocyanate.

2011

Abstract Beauvericin (BEA) is a bioactive compound produced by the secondary metabolism of several Fusarium strains and known to have various biological activities. This study investigated the reduction of BEA present in the concentration of 25 mg/kg on a solution model (phosphate buffer saline at pH 4 and 7) and in wheat flour using allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) as a reactant. The concentration of the mycotoxin studied was evaluated using liquid chromatography coupled to the diode array detector (LC-DAD), whereas adducts formed between the BEA and AITC were examined by liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry-linear ion trap (LC-MS-LIT). In solution, BEA reduction ranged from 20% t…

Peptides analysis in blood plasma using on-line system of supported liquid membrane and high-performance liquid chromatography

2005

The potential of using supported liquid membrane (SLM) technique, combined with reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) has been investigated for the determination of peptides in human blood plasma. The peptides studied were (DL)Leu(DL)Phe, MetLeuPhe, GlyLeuTyr and ValGluProlleProTyr. The carrier (Aliquat 336) was incorporated in membrane phase in order to facilitate the transport of investigated peptides. After extraction, the analyte-enriched acceptor phase was directly injected into an HPLC system for analysis. With SLM, high selectivity and efficiency were achieved for extraction of peptides in aqueous solutions. Lower extraction efficiency was obtained in plasma…

Supported liquid membrane extraction of aromatic aminophosphonates

2001

Abstract A fast and efficient supported liquid membrane (SLM) extraction system for the series of substituted aromatic aminophosphonates was elaborated. The mass transfer of solute was examined in terms of operator (pH and ionic strength of water phase, composition of membrane phase and the concentration of analyte) dependent parameters. Additionally, the influence of the aminophosphonates structure on the extraction efficiency was examined. From the results it can be concluded that the most effective conditions of membrane process are 10% (w/w) carrier concentration (Aliquat 336) in the liquid membrane, high pH of donor phase (pH=11) and moderate salt concentration (0.4 M NaCl) in the acce…

Determination of stilbenes in Sicilian pistachio by high-performance liquid chromatographic diode array (HPLC-DAD/FLD) and evaluation of eventually m…

2008

In this work, we have investigated about the presence of several natural stilbenes in 12 samples of pistachios harvested from 10 different farms of Sicily (Bronte and Agrigento). At the same time, we have evaluated the relation between the stilbenes synthesis and the possible contamination of mycotoxin produced by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. We have found two types of stilbenes in the samples of pistachios examined: trans-resveratrol and trans-resveratrol-3-O-β-glucoside (trans-piceid). Their concentration ranged from 0.07 to 0.18 mg/kg (av. = 0.12 ± 0.03 mg/kg) for trans-resveratrol, from 6.20 to 8.15 mg/kg (av. = 6.97 ± 0.55 mg/kg) for trans-piceid and from 6.38 to 8.2…

High-performance liquid chromatographic enantiomer separation and determination of absolute configurations of phosphinic acid analogues of dipeptides…

2003

The enantiomers of N-benzyloxycarbonyl-phosphinic pseudodipeptides and their N-benzyloxycarbonyl-α-aminophosphinic acid precursors as well as various other structural analogues were separated on a set of cinchona alkaloid-derived chiral anion-exchangers by HPLC in the reversed-phase mode. Semi-preparative scale chromatography provided single enantiomers in 100 mg quantities. The configurations of the enantiomers were assigned indirectly by enantioselective chromatography on the basis of the elution order and was confirmed by enantiomeric reference compounds.

Further Flavonoids and Other Phenolics of Thymus webbianus Rouy

1994

Abstract Seven different flavonoids from the aerial parts of Thymus webbianus were isolated. They were identified by UV spectra, TLC and HPLC-DAD as luteolin, api­genin, eryodictiol, naringenin, luteolin-7-O-glucoside, apigenin-7-O-glucoside and apigenin-6,8-di-C-glucoside. Other phenolics characterized by HPLC-DAD analysis were: protocatechuic, chlorogenic, syringic, p-coumaric and 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acids.

Determination of usnic and perlatolic acids and identification of olivetoric acids in Northern reindeer lichen (Cladonia stellaris) extracts

2010

AbstractThe ecologically important lichen Cladonia stellaris forms thick carpets in boreal forest floors. In addition to affecting temperature and water conditions in the soil underneath, the secondary metabolites formed by the lichen layer are of ecological interest. In this paper, we investigated the distribution of lichen acids in C. stellaris collected at different latitudes in Finland and developed methods to quantify the two optical enantiomers of usnic acid separately. The lichen extracts were analysed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV and mass spectrometric (MS) detection and by gas chromatography with flame ionization (GC-FID) and MS detection. Usnic acid and…

Quantitative retention- and migration-toxicity relationships of phenoxy acid herbicides in micellar liquid chromatography and micellar electrokinetic…

2001

Abstract The need to obtain a tool for estimation of toxicity parameters for chemicals supports, the postulation of predictive models as an alternative to conventional classical assays. The use of micellar solutions of Brij35 as mobile phases in reversed phase liquid chromatography has proven to be valid in predicting some biological activities of different kinds of drugs. In this paper, the correlations between retention of phenoxy acids using different concentrations of Brij35 as micellar mobile phase in micellar liquid chromatography (MLC) and migration in micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) with several toxicity parameters are studied. Adequate correlations retention- and migr…
