ChemInform Abstract: Convenient High Yielding Gram Scale Solution Synthesis of Methionine-Enkephalin.
2010
A simple, large-scale synthesis of a cytokine, methionine-enkephalin, Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Met, has been elaborated. Classical solution peptide chemistry methods without protection of amino acid side-chain functions and 1+(2+2) segment condensation were used. A nine-step synthesis from commercial amino acid derivatives was developed with yields ranging from 86% to 99%, averaging 92%. The purity of all intermediates was found to be 99.0-100% by HPLC. The process has been used to prepare greater than 150 g quantities of the pentapeptide as a monohydrate of 100% purity. Hydantoin formation was observed during saponification of Boc-Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Met-OMe and minimised.

Carbohydrates from Chemical Pulps: Characterization by Capillary Zone Electrophoresis
2006
Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) is one of the novel separation techniques, being applicable, for example, to virtually all important biomass-derived monosaccharides. However, in spite of this fact the utilization of this technique in the pulp and paper industry is currently rather limited. In this chapter practical guidance and some application examples are given to show how carbohydrate material (polysaccharides, oligosaccharides, and neutral and acidic monosaccharides) in pulps and spent liquors can be analyzed by CZE. Emphasis is placed on sample preparation and separation conditions including comparison with other separation methods, such as gas chromatography (GC) and high-perform…
Simultaneous Automated Determination of Catecholamines, Serotonin, and Their Metabolites in Brain Tissue by HPLC and Electrochemical Detection
1993
Abstract A robust procedure with minimal tissue sample pretreatment, based on reversed-phase, ion-pair high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) combined with electrochemical detection has been developed for the automated and simultaneous determination of the biogenic amines norepinephrine (NE), epinephrine (E), dopamine (DA), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and their metabolites 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylethyleneglycol (MHPG), 3,4-dihydroxyacetic acid (DOPAC), homovanillic acid (HVA) and 5-hydroxyindolacetic acid (H I A A) in as little as 0.5 mg brain tissue. The chromatographic conditions remain stable for at least 8 weeks. In particular small amounts of samples which do not allow reexamina…
Sensitive and selective determination of metabolically formed trans -dihydrodiols and phenols of benzo[ a ]pyrene in water and urine samples by HPLC …
1998
A method has been developed to separate hydroxylated metabolites of the carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon benzo[a]pyrene, i. e. trans-4,5-, 7,8-, 9,10-dihydrodiol and 1-, 3-, 7-, and 9-phenol, by HPLC with amperometric detection employing an isocratic methanol/water eluent (70:30, v/v) containing 0.5 g/L sulfuric acid and 1 g/L lithium perchlorate. Compared with the usually applied fluorescence (λex = 265 nm, λem = 460 nm) and ultraviolet (λ = 265 nm) detection, the amperometric technique is about 2–12 times more sensitive for the determination of all metabolites investigated. The method was applied to the determination of the seven metabolites of benzo[a]pyrene in different wate…
Reliable and simple analytical methods for determination of citrulline and metabolically related amino acids by liquid chromatography after derivatiz…
2014
We describe the development of a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for the determination of citrulline and other amino acids relevant to intestinal diseases. The amino acids were derivatized with 9-fluorenylmethylchloroformate (FMOC-Cl) and their derivatives were separated on two different columns, a core-shell column (Halo C18) and a silica-based monolith (Chromolith Performance RP-18). The derivatization reaction was optimized with respect to pH, buffer concentration and reproducibility. The optimal derivatization conditions were achieved with 0.4 M borate buffer at pH 9.20, a constant ratio of FMOC-Cl/total amino acids (10 : 1) and 75 mM tyramine after 1 min (quenching…

Terephthalaldehyd wird in Gegenwart von Essigsaure zu 4-Hydroxymethylbenzaldehyd (6), Terephthalalkohol (7) und einem polymeren Pina…
Identification and quantification of valuable phenolic compounds from red wines from western part of Romania
2019
The aim of this paper is to identify and quantify different phenolic compounds known and appreciated for their antioxidant action from five red wines from the west side of Romania. For the determinations HPLC methods were used, the samples were done in cycles of three for better results. Phenolic acids that drew the attention have different values that ranging from 1.3007 mg/L (elagic acid) to 19.3315 (t-cafftaric acid), some various flavonoids (flavone, flavonoli și flavanoli) the values of which were recorded between 0.9997 mg/L (apigenin) and 56.1617 mg/L (catechin) and the stilbens namely the resveratrol has reached the maximum value of 8.1427 mg/L. The phenolic compounds that were det…
[23] Ratio of reduced to oxidized glutathione as indicator of oxidative stress status and DNA damage
1999
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the ratio of reduced to oxidized glutathione (GSH) as an indicator of oxidative stress status and DNA damage. Several methods have been proposed for the determination of GSH status in biological samples. Accurate determination of this status is largely dependent on the prevention of GSH autoxidation during sample processing. As the disulfide form (GSSG) is present only in minimal amounts with respect to the reduced form, a small GSH autoxidation during sample processing can give erroneously high GSSG level. The chapter describes high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for determining GSSG. It also presents a method for glutathione determ…
Eine quantitative Bestimmungsmethode des Uracilgehaltes biologischen Materials im Nanogramm-Bereich mit Hilfe der Hochdruck-Flüssigchromatografie / A…
1974
Abstract A method is described for the estimation of the uracil content in biological materials by means of high-pressure liquid chromatography. Hydrolysis of the tissues and total liberation of RNA bases are carried out in 70% perchloric acid. Less than 1 mg of the materials are needed for analysis. A pre-purification of the hydrolyzates is carried out by anion-exchange chromatography. Recoveries are estimated by isotope dilution analysis with [2-14C] labelled uracil. The method is highly sensitive - about 6000 pmol of uracil content can at least be estimated quantitatively - and analysis time is short. In routine analysis a single sample needs 4 hours to be completed. When preparing sever…
