Brominated analogues (BMXs) of the strong drinking water mutagen MX (3-chloro-4-(dichloromethyl)-5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone) were found to be subject to strong matrix induced chromatographic response enhancement effects. We evaluated different ways to reduce errors in quantification including comparison of gas chromatographic inlet systems, improved clean up of sample extracts, and preparation of calibration standards in the sample matrix. The best quantitative accuracy and long term performance were achieved when the calibration standards were prepared in sample matrix, samples were cleaned up with C18-resin in conjunction with solid phase extraction (SPE) with Oasis HLB cartridges, and gas chromatography with PTV splitless injection was used. This method enables the determination of MX and BMXs from 500 ml water sample with quantitation limits of 1 ng/l or less.
Quenched phosphorescence detection of camphorquinone in cyclodextrin-based electrokinetic chromatography provides very favorable detection limits, i.e., 7 x 10(-)(7) M, 3 orders of magnitude lower than conventional UV absorption detection at 200 nm. The detection is based on the dynamic quenching by the analyte of the strong phosphorescence emission of brominated naphthalenesulfonate, under deoxygenated buffer solution conditions. This approach has been used to detect (1S)-(+)- and (1R)-(-)-camphorquinone after enantiomeric separation by CE. Although the use of the negatively charged carboxymethyl beta-cyclodextrin (CM-beta-CD) alone was not successful, the addition of a second, neutral cyclodextrin, alpha-CD, provided an adequate enantiomeric separation of camphorquinone. Using 25 mM borate buffer (pH 8.5) with 10 mM CM-beta-CD and 20 mM alpha-CD (applied voltage 20 kV, ambient temperature), the enantiomeric separation was performed in approximately 14 min. The chiral method was applied to monitor the stereoselectivity of the biotransformation of a racemic mixture of camphorquinone by yeast. It was found that the enantiomeric ratio calculated from the peak areas in the electropherogram (RSD = 5%) after 24 h of incubation decreased from 0.92 for the control solution (culture medium without yeast) to 0.24 for the culture medium; a similar ratio of 0.25 was observed for cell extract solutions. Therefore, racemic camphorquinone is enantioselectively degraded by yeast, the biodegradation of (1S)-(+)-camphorquinone being faster than that of the (1R)-(-)-enantiomer.
