Dimethyl-β-propiothetin (DMPT) has been reported to be present in some species of unicellular phytoplankton on the basis of the evolution of dimethyl sulfide (DMS), one of its breakdown products. The presence of DMPT in Syracosphaera carterae has now been confirmed by precipitation of it as the reineckate, with recovery and chromatographic analyses by paper and thin-layer techniques. Multicellular Ulva lactuca, which is known to contain DMPT, was used as a control. All steps were monitored by the gas–liquid chromatographic procedure for measuring DMS. Chromatograms were run in four solvent systems. All parts of the chromatograms were eluted, and tested for DMS. The only portion of any chromatogram that yielded DMS was that area corresponding to the RF value of authentic DMPT.

Abstract Two colorimetric micromethods are described for the determination of atropine-hyoscyamine and hyoscine (scopolamine), using p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde and citric acid-acetic anhydride as the color reagents. These methods are sensitive to 60-1200 and 10-360 μg alkaloid/10 ml. The colorimetric methods were also successfully applied after a preliminary thin layer chromatographic separation of the alkaloids. A gasliquid chromatographic procedure was also developed, which yielded comparable results with the colorimetric methods.

Abstract A simple and convenient gas-liquid chromatographic procedure involving electron capture detection is described for determining diflubenzuron (N- [[(4-chlorophenyl) amino] carbonyl] - 2,6-difluorobenzamide) in pond water and for determining the uptake of penfluron (trifluoromethyl analog of diflubenzuron) by boll weevils sexually sterilized by this compound. Both compounds were quantitatively converted to their respective N-(trifluoroacetyl) anilines by treatment with trifluoroacetic anhydride and pyridine in benzene at 50–60 °C. In boll weevil analyses, the procedure was quantitative for penfluron at concentrations involving microgram quantities (10–35 ≧g/weevil) without the necessity of a cleanup step. However, at submicrogram quantities, background interference necessitated a thin layer chromatographic cleanup prior to derivatization. This modification enabled the determination of 100 ng/ weevil. Analysis for diflubenzuron in natural pond water gave excellent results. For example, diflubenzuron at 2, 0.2, and 0.02 ppm in pond water was recovered at 95, 82, and 98%, respectively. A mechanism describing the reaction is proposed.

Delphinidin 3-0-sambubioside, a Hibiscus anthocyanin, was isolated from MeOH/TFA dried flower of H. sabdariffa. Its purification on preparative scale was obtained by centrifugal partition chromatography (CPC) using the ternary biphasic solvent systems composed of ethyl acetate/1-butanol/water, acidified by 0.1% of TFA. Stationary phase was ethyl acetate/1-butanol/water (5:5:90; v/v). We tested 4 mobile phases and found that the system acetate/1-butanol/water (40:46:14; v/v) was the best to separate anthocyanin mentioned above. This support-free liquid-liquid chromatographic procedure made it possible to isolate delphinidin 3-0-sambubioside from flower of H. sabdariffa. The antiamyloidogenic activity of the isolated stilbenes was evaluated versus b-amyloid fibrils. delphinidin 3-0-sambubioside was found to be active with 67% inhibition at 10 mM.

Abstract A method for the detection and determination of stevioside and rebaudioside A in beverages and foods by thin layer chromatography (TLC) and liquid chromatography (LC) is presented. Stevioside and rebaudioside A are extracted with water from a sample and purified by a reverse phase column chromatographic procedure using a silica gel 60 silanized column. The eluate from the column is concentrated to dryness, and the resulting residue is dissolved in 80% ethanol. For the detection, TLC is used, and spots of stevioside and rebaudioside A are visualized with anisaldehyde sulfuric acid reagent. Stevioside and rebaudioside A detected in samples are determined by LC with a Finepak SIL NH2 column and a mobile phase of acetonitrile-water (200 + 45) containing tetrabutylammonium phosphate, which is added to achieve the separation from some interfering compounds. Recoveries from samples spiked at 10 and 100 ppm ranged from 97.8 to 100.3% (stevioside) and 96.3 to 99.7% (rebaudioside A).

By conducting the toxicological analysis it is meaningful to determine the analytical system that could identify simultaneously several medicinal preparations quickly and precisely. The purpose of this work was to create and validate the method of thin-layer chromatography that would be suitable to separate the components of antidepressant mixture (amitriptyline hydrochloride, paroxetine hydrochloride, sertraline hydrochloride, fluvoxamine maleate and buspirone hydrochloride) and to identify them. The system was validated with regard to the sensitivity, repetition of data, resistance and particularity. The solvent systems with potential of high separation of components in their mixture were created: acetonitrile, methanol, ammonia solution 25 percent (85:10:5); acetonitrile, methanol, ammonia solution 25 percent (75:20:5); dichlormethane, 1,4-dioxane, ammonia solution 25 percent (50:45:5); dichlormethane, 1,4-dioxane, ammonia solution 25 percent (42:55:3); trichlormethane, 1,4-dioxane, ammonia solution 25 percent (25:70:5); trichlormethane, 1,4-dioxane, ammonia solution 25 percent (60:36:4). One of the most suitable solvent systems for separation of the analyzed mixture (sertraline, amitriptyline, paroxetine, buspirone, fluvoxamine) was determined – acetonitrile, methanol, ammonia solution 25 percent (85:10:5). When this solvent system was used, the average Rf values of the analyzed compounds differed the most. Validation was conducted – the relative standard deviation (RSD, percent) of the average Rf value of the analyzed compounds varied from 0,6 to 1,8 percent and did not exceed the permissible error of 5 percent. The sensitivity of methodology was determined by assessing the intensity of the mixture’s spots on the chromatographic plate. The detection limit of buspirone was 0,0012 µg; sertraline – 0,0008 µg; amitriptyline – 0,0004 µg; fluvoxamine – 0,0004 µg; paroxetine – 0,0008 µg. The resistance of results to the changed conditions – it was determined that when the amounts of the solvents acetonitrile and methanol were increased or decreased to two milliliters, the average Rf values of the analyzed compounds did not change statistically significantly

Abstract We describe a high-performance liquid chromatographic procedure for the simultaneous measurement of vitamins K1 and E in human serum. Delipidated human serum (free of vitamins K1 and E) was used to make standard solutions of these vitamins, and cetyl naphthoate and alpha-tocopheryl acetate were the internal standards for vitamin K1 and vitamin E, respectively. A simple, novel separation method utilizing liquid-liquid partition chromatography was used as a preparative "clean-up" procedure. Cetyl naphthoate and vitamin K1 (after post-column reduction) were detected by fluorescence, alpha-tocopheryl acetate and vitamin E by ultraviolet absorption. Sensitivity (detection limit) of the assay was 30 pg for vitamin K1 and 5 ng for vitamin E per injection. The method is specific, precise, and more rapid than previously described procedures. Within- and between-assay CVs were 8.1% and 12.9%, respectively, for vitamin K1; 3.5% and 6.0%, respectively, for vitamin E. Analytical recoveries of vitamins K1 and E were 80% and 93%, respectively, from serum and from delipidated serum (standards). The average neonatal serum concentration of vitamin K1 was 83 ng/L, 2.5 mg/L for vitamin E; for normolipidemic adults, the values were 343 ng/L and 7.9 mg/L, respectively, and for hyperlipidemic adults, 541 ng/L and 11.1 mg/L, respectively.
