A solvent redeveloping technique has been devised by which amino acids, peptides, and sugars can be separated from complex mixtures in the presence of high concentrations of salts and proteins. The separations are effected by two to four successive 18-hour solvent developments with drying between each 18-hour period before subsequent staining of the chromatograms. Better separations and resolutions are obtained by such successive 18-hour solvent developments than by one continuous solvent development for an equivalent time. The effect of these redevelopments on the separations and resolutions of biological compounds is illustrated at various stages by photographs of one- and two-dimensional chromatograms. The redevelopment technique requires filter paper sheets up to 4 ft in length for one-dimensional analytical and preparative types of chromatograms.

Ofloxacin, a chiral fluoroquinolone, possesses two optical isomers. The antibacterial activity of S-(-)-ofloxacin is 8 to 128 times higher than that of R-(+)-ofloxacin. In the rat, a saturable absorption process has been described for racemic ofloxacin. In the present study we investigated the mechanism underlying the in vivo intestinal absorption of ofloxacin enantiomers in the rat. Blood samples were collected from the portal vein. Our results show that the intestinal absorption of ofloxacin isomers is pH dependent, both enantiomers being best absorbed at neutral pH. S-(-)-Ofloxacin seems to have a greater affinity for the intestinal transporter (initial concentrations at 5 min [C(init)] are 0.17 +/- 0.04 and 0.12 +/- 0.03 microg/ml for S-(-)- and R-(+)-ofloxacin, respectively). Dipeptides fail to modify ofloxacin absorption, but amino acids reduce both isomers' absorption (C(init) is reduced by 53 and 33% with glycine for S-(-)- and R-(+)-ofloxacin, respectively, and by 59 and 42% with L-leucine). Gamma amino butyric acid interferes with the absorption of ofloxacin isomers, but less seriously than do amino acids. Furthermore, ofloxacin competes with other fluoroquinolones or P-glycoprotein substrates for a common secretory pathway, resulting in an increased rate of absorption for both ofloxacin isomers; this is probably an indirect result of their reduced efflux from the apical side of intestinal cells.

A method based on the use of miniature ion-exchange columns has been devised for isolating small amounts of amino acids from biological fluids and tissue extracts. The amino acids are isolated virtually free from proteins, sugars, and inorganic cations in a single treatment.Techniques are described for the preparation of solutions of the isolated amino acids for quantitative analysis by paper chromatography.
