A densitometric determination of six major ginsenosides in Panax ginseng, separated by high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC), was optimized. Simple extraction and clean-up methods of the target constituents and the development of standardized conditions of chromatoplates with a quaternary-solvents system allowed an efficient saponins recovery from the plant material and their selective separation. After exposure of the chromatograms to thionyl chloride vapors and further heating, stable reaction products of ginsenosides, which showed absorption maxima at lambda=275 nm as well as a fluorescence (lambda(excitation)=366 nm, lambda(emission)=400 nm), allowed the application of a sensitive and reproducible method for their simultaneous determination. The method was validated by spiking the ginseng extracts with pure standards.
The occurrence of alkylresorcinols, polyketide compounds that in the same homologous series as cardol isolated from Anacardium occidentale (cashew) or bilobol from Ginkgo biloba which are derivatives of 1,3-dihydroxy-5-alk(en)ylbenzene, have been demonstrated in developing rye (Secale cereale L.) kernels. The 3-day-old seedlings grown in sterile conditions already contain detectable amounts of phenolic compounds that were identified as alkylresorcinols. This fraction is the mixture of saturated and enoic homologs of various lengths of the aliphatic side chain. The composition of homologs is similar to that determined in mature grains. The relatively high level of alkylresorcinols in mitochondria and plastids (enhanced approximately twice in the absence of light) suggests that their synthetic pathway and/or biological function may be related to these cellular compartments. Resorcinolic lipids, when present in the external medium, are taken up by seedlings in the energy-dependent manner.
A new TLC-MALDI direct coupling method which recovers approximately 100% of the analyte is presented. The method makes use of a hybrid TLC-MALDI plate in which a silica layer and a MALDI layer are configured adjacently on a common backing. After TLC separation, the plate is rotated 90 degrees and the separated analyte spots are eluted from the silica layer to the MALDI layer via capillary action of the MALDI layer. Signal-to-noise ratios are significantly improved over previously reported coupling methods. Low-femtomole detection limits have been demonstrated for small cyclic peptides, which are comparable to detection limits for standard MALDI measurements.
