    Notes: Summary The Dufour gland of the primitive Australian antNothomyrmecia macrops contains microgram quantities in total of linear alkanes and alkenes from C13 to C30 with heptadecene the major component (66%). In all, 50 substances, including methyl-branched hydrocarbons, aldehydes and acetates, α-farnesene and α-springene in low nanogram amounts, were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

    Notes: Summary The principal constituent of the pygidial gland ofNothomyrmecia macrops is 3,7-dimethyloct-6-en-2-one, a substance not previously identified in insects. Also identified were 2,6-dimethylhept-5-enal, 2-nonanone, indole, γ-dodecalactone, and the hydrocarbons pentadecane, heptadecane, heptadecene and heptadecadiene, all in low nanogram quantities.

    Notes: Summary 3-Ethyl-2,5-dimethylpyrazine, found in the poison gland of workers, induces trail following in the Mediterranean harvester antMessor bouvieri. The poison gland contains on average 9 ng of this trail pheromone component. The alkaloids anabasine and anabaseine are also present in this gland, but induce no reaction in workers. Trail following is also induced by substances present in the Dufour gland, but the combined effect of both glands shows no synergism.

    Notes: Abstract Chemical investigation of the Dufour gland contents of three species ofMyrmecia by GC and GC-MS showed thatM. gulosa andM. nigriceps contain predominantly linear hydrocarbons, whereasM. pilosula contains acetates, aldehydes, and propionates. The major components ofM. gulosa andM. nigriceps are (Z)-8-heptadecene, pentadecane, and heptadecane. Their chemical profiles are similar to each other and to that ofNothomyrmecia macrops, the most primitive living ant, placed by itself in a separate subfamily. The major components ofM. pilosula are hexadecyl acetate, (Z)-9-octadecenyl acetate, (Z)-11-eicosenyl acetate, and (Z)-11-eicosenal. Some geographical variation was observed in the relative proportions of the components. The chemotaxonomic significance for the primitive Australian ant subfamilies Myrmeciinae and Nothomyrmeciinae is considered. The possibility is discussed that 11-eicosenal or geranylcitronellol, minor components of the Dufour gland secretion ofM. gulosa, may be responsible for the aggressive behavior released by the natural stinging secretions.

    Notes: Abstract The trail pheromone ofAcromyrmex subterraneus subterraneus consists simply of the heterocyclic ester methyl 4-methylpyrrole-2-carboxylate in the venom reservoir of workers at about 1.2 ng/ant. No pyrazines were detected, and no enhancement of trail-following was observed when pyrazines were added to the pyrrole compound.

    Notes: Summary The use of supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) as an alternative to conventional liquid extraction has been investigated to conventional liquid extraction has been investigated for the isolation of bile acids (cholic acid, deoxycholic acid and chenodeoxycholic acid) from the solid material obtained by bovine bile hydrolysis. Initial studies indicated that bile acids are not soluble in supercritical CO2, consequently the addition of the polar modifier methanol to the CO2 extracting fluid was evaluated. Quantitative recoveries (〉88.5%) were obtained for the bile acids in 20 min with 15% (v/v) methanol in CO2 at 220 atm and 70°C. A comparison of SFE with pyridine extraction was performed on samples of hydrolyzed crude bovine bile. The SFE method yielded recoveries higher than 82.7% compared with conventional liquid extraction. Moreover, SFE minimized sample handling, reduced the consumption of harmful solvents and provided conditions suitable for selective extractions of bile acids from bovine bile raw materials.

    Notes: Summary HPLC coupled in parallel to nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrometry (MS) has been used to obtain1H NMR and mass spectra of a number of ecdysteroids present in an extract of the plantSilene otites. Reversed phase gradient chromatography was performed using a D20-acetonitrile-based solvent system. NMR and mass spectra were obtained for integristerone A, 20-hydroxyecdysone, 2-deoxy-20-hydroxyecdysone and 2-deoxyecdysone to provide structural confirmation using continuous and stopped flow HPLC-NMR. The combined HPLC-NMR-MS system described here provided a more comprehensive analysis of the ecdysteroids present in the extract than HPLC-NMR alone.
