    Notes: Abstract Derivatisation of amine-containing analytes with 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (FMOC) to form fluorescent adducts requires a large excess of FMOC. This excess hydrolyses to form FMOC-OH, which is also fluorescent. Solvent extraction has been investigated as a means of isolating the sulphamethazine (SMZ) adduct (FMOC-SMZ) from the hydrolysis product in order to perform rapid spectrophotometric or spectrofluorimetric assays. However, even under the most favourable pH conditions possible, FMOC-OH was not totally removed. Attempts to enhance the separation by reaction of FMOC-OH with 1-ethoxy-4-dichloro-S-triazinylnaphthalene (EDTN) or by acetylation were also unsuccessful. On the other hand, reaction of FMOC with mixed substrates, followed by two pentane extractions to remove the excess FMOC and direct injection into an HPLC provides the desired separations on a reversed phase column (RPLC) with methanol-modified, (pH 3.5) phosphate buffers. FMOC-SMZ is readily separated from FMOC-OH under all elution conditions, from the FMOC-amino acids (under gradient conditions or isocratically up to 75% methanol), and from other FMOC-sulphonamides and FMOC-dihydrofolate reductase inhibitors (isocratically up to 70% methanol). Hence conversion to the FMOC derivatives permits SMZ to be separated from all of the potential interferants tested by isocratic elution with 70% methanol in RPLC. Analysis for the amino acid derivatives of FMOC may be done without interference from SMZ in samples.

    Notes: Abstract A fluorescent adduct was formed between 2,4′-dichloro-l-(naphthyl-4-ethoxy)-s-triazine (EDTN) and reduced glutathione in a reaction at 37 °C and pH 9.2. This reaction was used as the basis of an assay for reduced glutathione. The fluorescence was examined at an excitation wavelength of 319 nm and an emission wavelength of 425 nm after extraction of residual unreacted EDTN with methylene dichloride and subsequent dilution of the aqueous phase with ethanol containing 0.01 percent Triton X-100. The reaction rate was low at pH 7 but was accelerated by addition of preparations containing the enzyme glutathione-S-transferase. The adduct gave a discrete peak using isocratic elution with HPLC on a Nova-pak C18 3 μm reverse phase column and a solvent system of methanol: 0.1 M phosphate buffer pH 6.3 (40∶60). An analytical concentration range of 24 to 240 μM reduced glutathione was obtained with an ultraviolet detection system but the concentration range was 7.5 to 75 μM when a fluorescence detection system was used. Adducts of other mercapturic acid pathway thiol compounds were not formed at 37 °C under the conditions used and hence did not interfere in the assay. They were formed by heating EDTN and the respective thiol compound at 60 °C for 30 min and they clearly separated from the reduced glutathione compound on HPLC analysis. A strong reaction was observed with digitonin while solutions of tyrosine, at 10 mM concentration, also reacted but these reactants are unlikely to interfere with reduced glutathione analysis in biological systems. When adduct formation was used to estimate reduced glutathione concentrations in some mammalian and plant tissues the reaction using 2,4′-dichloro-l-(naphthyl-4-ethoxy)-s-triazine and HPLC separation gave the same results as ano-phthaldialdehyde assay for liver and muscle but the HPLC method gave slightly lower values for other mammalian and plant tissues. The differences were attributed to other material in the tissue extracts which was fluorescing at the same wavelengths as the reduced glutathione adduct.

    Notes: ---Fatty acids (FAs) and fatty acid residues are generally methylated and analyzed by GC. The reasons for this are partly historic and partly because of the sensitivity advantage of flame ionization detection over UV absorption by the carboxylic acid functionality in saturated FAs. However, for strongly absorbing unsaturated acids such as the conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs), the sensitivity advantage is greatly reduced. Hence there seems little reason to waste time and introduce errors associated with methylation. Remarkably, this appears not to have been recognized. In this paper we describe our method development for the analysis of underivatized CLAs by silver ion HPLC separation on the ChromSpher Lipids column. Using mobile phases previously optimized for the analysis of the methylated CLAs, retention is excessive and a competing acid is required. Various combinations of small concentrations of acetic acid (3.0-2.5%) with acetonitrile (0.0-0.025%), respectively, yield similar resolution and run times. As well as its role as a competing acid, acetic acid acts as a general strong solvent and thus can be used alone as a modifier (without acetonitrile). However, for slightly shorter run times a mobile phase of 2.5% acetic acid and 0.025% acetonitrile was chosen as the optimum mobile phase for analysis. The separation of the free CLAs is clearly superior to those previously published and obtained in this study for the methylated CLAs. The additional specific strong interactions of the underivatized CLAs seem certain to be due to hydrogen bonding between the CLA carboxylic acid functionality and the large number of residual silanols on the surface of the silica support of the stationary phase.

    Notes: Twenty-two sulphonamides and three dihydrofolate reductase inhibitors (DHFR) were included in this study. At pH 7.5, eighteen drugs were resolved in 22 min. Above pH 7.5 the DHFR are not resolved and the pH range of 7-7.5 was found to be optimal. Around pH 7, where the degree of ionization of the SFA is highly variable, pKa and migration time are strongly correlated. Increasing phosphate buffer concentration from 25-100 mM generally improves resolution but increases analysis times. A good correlation between analyte mobility and the ratio of net charge to molecular weight indicates that this ratio may be used as a quick guide to the possibility of separation of related compounds. Our secondary objective was to compare the lead time and effectiveness of CZE with LC. It is clear that method development is much more rapid in CZE but with a sufficiently diverse group of compounds, CZE can be incapable of providing a full analysis without gradient control. Nonionized compounds are not separated at one extreme, and excessively mobile species may not emerge in a reasonable time, or, may migrate to the wrong electrode.
