Determination of picogram amounts of lipoxin A4 and lipoxin B4 by high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection

A new method for the determination of lipoxins with electrochemical detection after high-performance liquid chromatography is described. The half-wave potentials of lipoxin A4 and lipoxin B4 at a glassy carbon electrode and a mobile phase of methanol-water (65:35 v/v) and 1 mM trifluoroacetic acid was found to be +1.14 V versus an Ag/AgCl reference electrode. The use of trifluoroacetic acid instead of sulphuric acid and lithium perchlorate led to a background current of 6-8 nA at +1.20 V. The detection limits for both lipoxins, based on a signal-to-noise ratio of 3:1 were found to be 5-10 pg (15-30 fmol). The new method was applied to an extract of human polymorphonuclear granulocytes, preincubated with 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid and stimulated with Ca2+ ionophore A23187.     

Metabolite profiling of human urine by CE-ESI-MS using separation electrolytes at low pH

We investigated the potential of CE coupled to electrospray MS (CE-ESI-MS) in metabolite profiling of human urine without any sample prefractionation step. A heterogeneous mixture of biologically relevant compounds covering a broad range of physicochemical properties was used to optimize separation conditions in fused-silica capillaries. A running electrolyte containing 50 mM of acetic acid and 50 mM of formic acid at pH 2.5 was used for the CE separations. A sheath-flow electrospray interface was employed for CE-ESI-MS analysis. Sheath liquids containing 80:20 v/v methanol/water with 0.1% v/v of acetic acid or 60:40 v/v isopropanol/water with 0.5% v/v of ammonia were selected for optimum detection in positive and negative ESI modes, respectively. Reproducibility and sensitivity were studied, and strategies for identification of the separated urinary compounds are suggested. We report major advantages and disadvantages of CE-ESI-MS for metabolite profiling of human body fluids. This work may be regarded as a first step in the use of CE-ESI-MS for reliable differential analysis of body fluids from healthy and diseased individuals.     

A simple, sensitive and efficient assay for the determination of D- and L-lactic acid enantiomers in human plasma by high-performance liquid chromatography

A new method for the simultaneous determination of D- and L-lactic acid in human plasma has been developed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence detection. This method is based on the reaction of lactic acid with (2S)-2-amino-3-methyl-1-[4-(7-nitro-benzo-2,1,3-oxadiazol-4-yl)-piperazin-1-yl]-butan-1-one (NBD-PZ-Val) in the presence of O-(7-azobenzotriazol-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HATU) and N-ethyldiisopropylamine (DIEA) to produce fluorescent diastereomeric derivatives that were easily monitored fluorimetrically at λ(ex)=490 nm and λ(em)=532 nm. The separation was achieved by use of a C18 analytical column (Synergy Hydro 150 mm x 3 mm i.d., 4 μm). The calibration curve was linear over the on-column concentration range of 10-200 μmol/L for D-lactic acid and 0.5-4.0 mmol/L for L-lactic acid. The sensitivity was good with a limit of detection of 5.24 μmol/L for D-lactic acid and 0.15 mmol/L for L-lactic acid. The analytical method was successfully applied to human plasma samples from normal healthy subjects.     

Spectrophotometric determination of saponin in Yucca extract used as food additive

A spectrophotometric method was developed for the determination of saponin in Yucca extract or its preparation for food additive use. A saponin fraction of Yucca extract was prepared by column chromatography with porous polymer, and hydrolyzed with a 2 mol/L mixture of hydrochloric acid-ethanol (1 + 1) to generate sapogenin. Sapogenin amounts were determined by measuring absorbance at 430 nm, based on the color reactions with anisaldehyde, sulfuric acid, and ethyl acetate. Recoveries from Yucca extracts were 91.5-95.1%, and the detection limit was 10 microg/kg. Commercial Yucca extracts for food additive use were composed of 5.6-6.4% (w/w) saponin, making it a minor component.     

Direct catalytic asymmetric Mannich-type reactions of gamma-butenolides: effectiveness of Brønsted acid in chiral metal catalysis

Direct catalytic asymmetric Mannich-type reactions of gamma-butenolides are described. A chiral Lewis acid/amine base/Br?nsted acid combination was used to catalyze a gamma-addition of gamma-butenolides to N-diphenylphosphinoyl imines, affording the products in up to >99% yield, anti/syn = >97:3, and 84% ee. The use of a catalytic amount of TfOH in addition to La(OTf)3/Me-PyBox/TMEDA was important for improving yield and stereoselectivity.     

Via protoporphyrin to the synthesis of levofloxacin‐imprinted polymer

A new molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) for levofloxacin was prepared by the combined use of methacrylic acid and protoporphyrin as functional monomers. The adsorption properties of resultant imprinted polymers were evaluated by equilibrium rebinding experiments. The highest binding capacity of levofloxacin achieved from the optimized imprinted polymer in acetonitrile was 246.26 µmol/g with an imprinting factor of 2.05. A ?uorescence quenching effect was observed when a protoporphyrin‐based imprinted polymer was incubated in the solutions of levofloxacin. The results indicated that the protoporphyrin‐based MIPs were able to create higher binding cavities for template compared with MIPs using only methacrylic acid as a functional monomer. It should be expected that the cooperative use of the protoporphyrin with supplemental different functional monomers may be an alternative to obtain MIP with the improvement of the selectivity.

Reversed-polarity capillary zone electrophoretic analysis of usnic acid.

A capillary zone electrophoretic (CZE) method for the determination of usnic acid is described for the first time. Usnic acid is an antibiotic substance from lichens. Due to its low solubility in water, a high content of methanol in CZE buffer is required. Because of the methanol in the buffer, the electroosmotic flow velocity was lower than the electrophoretic mobility of usnic acid. Accordingly, the use of reversed-polarity (with the anode on the detector side of the capillary) was necessary. The optimal buffer composition was 50 mM NaOH, 20 mM acetic acid and 5% water in methanol. The detection limit of UV detector at 290 nm for usnic acid in the injected extract was 3.5 mg/L and the relative standard deviation of the normalized peak area was 3.3% at 250 mg/L.     

Evaluation and Optimization of Organic Acid Pretreatment of Cotton Gin Waste for Enzymatic Hydrolysis and Bioethanol Production

This paper investigates the efficiency of the organic acids on the pretreatment of an industrially generated cotton gin waste for the removal of lignin, thereby releasing cellulose and hemicellulose as fermentable sugar components. Cotton gin waste was pretreated with various organic acids namely lactic acid, oxalic acid, citric acid, and maleic acid. Among these, maleic acid was found to be the most efficient producing maximum xylose sugar (126.05?±?0.74 g/g) at the optimum pretreatment condition of 150 °C, 500 mM, and 45 min. The pretreatment efficiency was comparable to the conventional dilute sulfuric acid pretreatment. A lignin removal of 88% was achieved by treating maleic acid pretreated biomass in a mixture of sodium sulfite and sodium chlorite. The pretreated biomass was further evaluated for the release of sugar by enzymatic hydrolysis and subsequently bioethanol production from hydrolysates. The maximum 686.13 g/g saccharification yield was achieved with maleic acid pretreated biomass which was slightly higher than the sulfuric acid (675.26 g/g) pretreated waste. The fermentation of mixed hydrolysates(41.75 g/l) produced 18.74 g/l bioethanol concentration with 2.25 g/l/h ethanol productivity and 0.48 g/g ethanol yield using sequential use of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Pichia stipitis yeast strains. The production of bioethanol was higher than the ethanol produced using co-culture in comparison to sequential culture. Thus, it has been demonstrated that the maleic acid pretreatment and fermentation using sequential use of yeast strains are efficient for bioethanol production from cotton gin waste.     

Qualitative and quantitative analysis of low molecular weight compounds by ultraviolet matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry using ionic liquid matrices

A major problem hampering the use of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry for quantitative measurements is the inhomogeneous distribution of analytes and matrices in solid sample preparations. The use of ionic liquids as matrices for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of low molecular weight compounds like amino acids, sugars and vitamins was investigated. The ionic liquid matrices are composed of equimolar combinations of classical MALDI matrices (sinapinic acid, alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid or 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid) with organic bases. These matrix systems allow a homogenous sample preparation with a thin ionic liquid layer having negligible vapour pressure. This leads to a facilitated qualitative and quantitative measurement of the analytes compared with classical solid matrices.     

Analysing fluorobenzoate tracers in groundwater samples using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. A tool for leaching studies and hydrology

A sensitive LC-MS-MS method for the direct determination and quantification of 15 fluorobenzoic acids (FBAs) was developed. FBAs are used as conservative tracers for hydrological modelling of water flow and in studies of pesticides and other xenobiotic compounds. The use of FBAs is discussed in relation to other tracers (bromide, chloride, uranine). The method covers mono-substituted fluorobenzoic acid, difluorobenzoic acid, trifluorobenzoic acid, and tetrafluorobenzoic acid. The general detection limit in ground water was 1 microg/l using electrospray ionisation and 20 microg/l using atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation. Analysis time was less than 10 min, small sample volumes were needed and no clean-up was required.
