Abstract

The programmed multiple development thin-layer chromatography (PMD-TLC) technique was compared with the conventional chromatographic technique on both normal and HPTLC plates. The potency of this high-performance TLC is illustrated and discussed by means of the data obtained with the determination of digitoxin in human serum. Improvement of the efficiency of TLC, resulting in a better resolution and sensitivity with PMD-TLC using using HPTLC plates, makes this high-performance TLC technique comparable to high-performance liquid chromatography. This TLC approach might lead to a sensitive, rapid, selective and simply assay for routine serial analyses and, because of its specificity and flexibility, it may facilitate drug interaction studies.

Determination of fatty acids in fish oil dietary supplements by capillary chromatography with laser-induced fluorescence detection.

The 4-bromomethyl-7-methoxycoumarin derivatives of 14 saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, including the omega-3 fatty acids, were separated by reversed-phase liquid chromatography and detected by laser-induced fluorescence. Baseline resolution was obtained by using a high-efficiency packed capillary column with 240,000 theoretical plates, together with a systematic optimization of the mobile phase composition. The retention indices of the fatty acid derivatives correlated well with a predictive empirical model, showing accuracy better than 0.46% relative error and reproducibility better than +/- 0.1% relative standard deviation. The physiologically important fatty acids with 12-22 carbon atoms and 0-6 double bonds were determined at the femtomole level in fish oil dietary supplements by using this methodology.

Simultaneous determination of serum cortisol and cortisone by reversed-phase liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection.

A rapid high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for the simultaneous determination of cortisol and cortisone in a single extract of 1 ml of serum is described. The method employs meprednisone as the internal standard. The steroids were analysed isocratically by reversed-phase HPLC with an octadecylsilane-bonded (ODS) column using ultraviolet detection. The matrix effect was reduced by lowering the sample pH by adding glacial acetic acid to the sera. The samples were then filtered through regenerated cellulose membranes at 4 degrees C and extracted with diethyl ether. The dried eluates were redissolved in the mobile phase and injected into the column. The detection limit of the assay for both steroids was 500 ng/l. Cortisol was determined in twenty serum samples by both HPLC and radioimmunoassay (RIA). The results were similar. Interference by other steroids and certain steroid analogue drugs was also studied. The HPLC method yielded no cross-reactivity between the different steroids as may occur with the RIA technique. The HPLC method was technically easy to perform and it allowed us to quantify both cortisol and cortisone in a single serum extract with high specificity.

Reversed-phase chromatographic method for specific determination of glutathione in cultured malignant cells.

A chromatographic method for the specific determination of glutathione in malignant cell lines is described. The method is based on the ability of glutathione-S-transferase to specifically and quantitatively conjugate glutathione to 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene and chromatographic quantitation of the resultant conjugate, dinitrophenyl-S-glutathione, by reversed-phase liquid chromatography. The assay can be performed on 20,000 g supernatants of cell homogenates without acid extraction. 2-Mercaptoethanol, a sulfhydryl compound often used as a thiol-protective agent to preserve enzymatic activities of a number of enzymes, did not interfere with glutathione determination by this method. The dinitrophenyl-S-glutathione isolated from either standard glutathione samples or from cell homogenates was shown to be identical to authentic dinitrophenyl-S-glutathione using mass spectrometry. Recovery of glutathione in standard samples by the current method was identical to that determined using 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid). Exogenous glutathione added to supernatants of cell homogenate in the presence or absence of 2-mercaptoethanol was also completely recovered.
