    Notes: Abstract  A simple and accurate method for the determination of phytosterols by capillary gas chromatography was developed for the analysis of the seeds and oil of the pumpkin Cucurbita pepo L., the naked seed variety growing in the southern Styrian parts of Austria. After extraction of the oil and saponification, the remaining unsaponifiable material was isolated and purified using silica gel columns. For greater volatility, the sterols were derivatised to trimethylsilylethers, and gas chromatography was performed on a column of high polarity, allowing separation of the Δ5-sterols from the Δ7-sterols and thus yielding a typical chromatographical pattern. Quantification of the phytosterols using 5α-cholestan or cholesterol as internal standards led to a method of high accuracy. Comparison of the chromatographic pattern of the phytosterol fraction of pumpkin seed oil with those of other vegetable oil samples permitted the use of this method to detect adulteration of pumpkin seed oil.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Es wird die chemische Synthese von Alkylglucuroniden beschrieben, die nach Konsum von begleitstoffhaltigen Getränken als Metaboliten im Urin erscheinen. Von folgenden Alkoholen wurden die Glucuronide synthetisiert: Methanol, d5-Ethanol, Propanol, Isopropanol, Butanol, Isobutanol, R-(–)-2-Butanol, S-(+)-2-Butanol, Isopentanol, S-(–)-2-Methylbutanol. Die Retentionsindizes der Acetyl-, Pentafluorpropyl(PFP)- und Trimethylsilyl(TMS)-derivate werden mitgeteilt und der Einfluß der chemischen Struktur auf den RI-Wert diskutiert. Die Massenspektren der homologen Derivate erwiesen sich als sehr ähnlich, aber einige Fragmente sind spezifisch für die Kettenlänge der Alkylgruppe und können zur Identifizierung und Quantifizierung der Glucuronide in Urinproben herangezogen werden.
    Notes: Abstract The chemical synthesis of alkyl glucuronides, which appear as metabolites in urine after the consumption of beverages containing congeners of ethanol, is described. Glucuronides of the following alcohols were synthesized: methanol, d5-ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, butanol, isobutanol, R-(–)-2-butanol, S-(+)-2-butanol, isopentanol and S-(–)-2-methylbutanol. The retention indices of acetyl, pentafluorpropyl (PFP) and trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivatives are given and discussed in relation to the chemical structures. Mass spectra of homologous derivatives were shown to be very similar but some fragments were specific for the chain length of the alkyl moiety and can be used for identification and a quantitative estimation of glucuronides in urine samples.

    Notes: Summary In this paper, a general peak capacity expression was evaluated using columns containing various packing materials under solvating gas chromatography (SGC) conditions. Differing from column efficiency, peak capacity can describe both separation capability and speed when introducing the dead time into the peak capacity expression. Various factors that influence peak capacity in SGC are described, including particle pore size, chemical surface modification, particle size, column length, temperature, and pressure.

    Notes: Summary A capillary gas chromatographic method is described for the determination of cisplatin based on the complexation of platinum(II) with bis(isovalerylacetone) ethylenediimine (H2IVA2en) and extraction in chloroform. The chromatography was carried out on a BP1 or a BP5 column with an FID. Copper(II), nickel (II) and palladium(II) separated completely and did not affect the determination of platinum(II). The method was applied of the determination of cisplatin in a pharmaceutical preparation and blood samples of cancer patients after infusion of cisplatin. The amounts of cisplatin in blood were found to be within 246–283 ng mL−1 with a C.V. of 2.35–4.26%.

    Notes: Summary The use of polysiloxanes with cyano or thiol groups as stationary phases for complexation gas chromatography is discussed. The polymers were obtained via polycondensation followed by polymerisation of the corresponding dichloro- or dimethoxy-silanes. Both the phases were modified by bonding transition metal chlorides with were modified by bonding transition metal chlorides with cyano (CuCl2 or CoCl2) and thiol groups (NiCl2 or CoCl2). The phases were examined in order to determine their application to the analysis of ethers, thioethers and ketones. Due to the presence of lone electron pairs on oxygen or sulphur atoms, the compounds should be capable of specific interacting with the electron-withdrawing centre of the liquid stationary phases. A number of retention parameters (retention indices, molecular retention indices and specific retention volume) were determined, which allowed characterisation of specific interactions between the bonded metal and the compound analysed. The results also enabled assessment of the influence of the structure of the compounds on their retention. The measurements were also carried out for the phases with free SH and CN groups as reference phases. The work demonstrates that the phases obtained may be useful for effective separations.

    Notes: Summary Microwave extraction and ultrasonication of dioxin-like polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs) from sediment samples were investigated. After separation of dioxin-like PCBs from a sample matrix on an acidic-alkaline silica gel column, dioxin-like PCBs were determined by GC-ECD, using dual capillary columns. Recoveries of dioxin-like PCBs in river sediment samples exceeded 80% by both extraction techniques. Toxic equivalency factors and their use for the PCB congeners investigated were applied.

    Notes: Summary A composite chromatographic retention index system has been developed for identifying polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls and polychlorinated pesticides. When retention indices and thermodynamic data of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on 5% phenylmethylsiloxane stationary phase were compared with those obtained on polydimethylsiloxane a correlation was found between retention and electronic properties. Determination and quantitation of individual contaminants in water and sediment samples from Lake Mecoacán were achieved by capillary gas chromatography with flame ionization and electrocapture detection.

    Notes: Summary Analytical methods have been developed for the determination of organic pollutants of intermediate polarity in sewage. Water samples are first passed through a solid phase adsorption cartridge. The analytes are then extracted from the absorbent with supercritical CO2 into a small volume of trapping solvent. Finally, the extracts are analyzed directly by capillary gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometer. The various parameters (pressure, temperature, type and concentration of modifiers, trapping solvent, flow rate and volume of supercritical fluid and equilibrium time) influencing the efficiency of extraction were studied. Extraction efficiencies for the test compounds are 〉70%, and relative standard deviations are 〈4.6% (n=3). The methods established were applied to the analysis of sewage at the Lanzhou Wastewater Treatment Plant, China. 66 organic pollutants were detected, of which 15 compounds appeared in the list of priority pollutants suggested by the US EPA.

    Notes: Summary It is shown how to estimate the retention times of homologous series members in linear temperature programmed gas chromatography with the aid of a spread-sheet. Both the ease of estimation and the accuracy of the estimation depend on whether the homologue is eluted during the rising portion of the temperature program or the hold time at the end, and also on whether the homologous series is eluted from one injection or a number of injections. When all members of the series elute in the one chromatographic run the percentage standard deviation of the predicted retention times from the experimental retention times is 0.1. When members of the series elute in different chromatographic runs, the percentage standard deviation of predicted times from experimental times is 0.6, compared with an experimental percentage standard deviation for replicates of 0.5.

When multiplied by the adjusted retention volume,V R-VM, the Martin and James mobile phase compressibility correction factorj 3 2 , only, produces the value of specific retention volume,V g T , which is connected unambiguously with the thermodynamic phase distribution coefficient,K, of the sorbate.

    Notes: Summary Catalytic fractional conversions of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide over Pt−Rh alloy catalysts in the presence of excess oxygen, under steady-state or non steady-state conditions, as well as corresponding rate constants for the CO oxidation reaction were measured by using the reversed-flow gas chromatographic technique. From the variation of the conversions with temperature, maximum values of conversions were found, which depend on the catalysts nature (Pt content), while from the variation of the rate constants with temperature, activation energies for the CO oxidation reaction were determined, which also depend on the catalyst Pt content. The results suggest a synergism between Pt and Rh in the Pt−Rh bimetallic catalysts in accordance with previous works, showing that reversed-flow gas chromatography can be used with simplicity and accuracy for the kinetic study of the CO oxidation reaction, which is of technological importance for the control of air pollution.

    Notes: Summary An open-tubular trap with a very thick film was studied for “full on-line” headspace capillary gas chromatography, and was used as an enrichment trap for headspace sampling. The preparation of the open-tubular column with up to an 80 μm thick film, by combining both static and dynamic coating, is described in detail. The break-through volume for the open-tubular trap of different film thickness, as the loading capacity for HS sampling, does not increase linearly in proportion to the film thickness. A study of the difference between a packed adsorbent trap and an open-tubular trap shows that HS capillary GC with open-tubular trap loses less of the retention capacity, has better resolution ability and higher recovery. By independently and rapidly heating the open-tubular trap, the GC peaks may have higher resolution. Examples of successful analyses, by the opentubular trap with “full on-line” HS capillary GC, include trace aromatic hydrocarbon (1 ppm-100 ppm) in polybutadiene-styrene rubber and trace alcohol and acrylic esters (10 ppm–1000 ppm) in polyacrylate hydrous emulsion.

    Notes: Abstract The proportion of D- to L-enantiomers of aspartic acid in metabolically isolated proteins has been used by forensic scientists to estimate age at death. We have demonstrated the interference of a derivative of hydroxyproline (N-TFA isopropyl Hyp ester) with the N-TFA isopropyl L-Aspartic (Asp) acid ester during gas chromatography of amino acids. This has serious implications for the accurate quantification of the D- to L-Asp ratio extracted from collagenous proteins. Having demonstrated the potential for this co-elution in amino acid standards, acid-soluble dentine proteins and non-mineralised collagen, we argue that this problem can be overcome either by high resolution separation or by analysis of the (Hyp-poor) non-collagenous protein fraction.

    Notes: ---A new ECD, the HP 6890 Series Micro-ECD, was designed to address inherent deficiencies in classical electron capture detectors (ECD), especially with respect to sensitivity, linearity, dynamic range, and ruggedness. Several novel technologies were incorporated in the totally new design and were refined through practical testing and user feedback. Validation of the micro-ECD performance was accomplished through side-by-side testing of the Micro-ECD with previous ECDs following US EPA Contract Laboratory Program methods for pesticides and PCBs. In addition, extensive interviews were conducted with early users of the Micro-ECD who also had experience with other designs running a variety of ECD methods. The design and resulting performance improvements are described.

    Notes: The applicability of pulsed splitless injection to the gas chromatographic analysis of pesticide residues in fruit and vegetables has been evaluated. 22 pesticides belonging to different chemical classes, including those known to be liable to matrix induced response enhancement, were selected for the study. The parameters of pressure pulse have been tested for optimum performance of injection. Application of the pressure pulse was found to decrease matrix effects during analyses of real samples. Further decline of matrix effects was obtained using higher sample injection volumes. The installation of a deactivated retention gap was necessary to obtain good peak shapes with injection volumes exceeding 1 μL of sample. Up to 4 μL was then injected without peak distortion and consequent loss of resolution. Using 4 μL pulsed splitless injection, matrix effects were almost completely eliminated even at very low concentration levels of analytes. The highest matrix effects observed for tested compounds at the lowest concentration level tested were in the range of 110-122%.

    Notes: Non-ideal mixing in a dimethylsilicone stationary phase is modeled according to the Wilson activity coefficient. Pure liquid vapor pressures of alkylated compound series are calculated from capillary GLC retention with the functional group heat of solution in a polymer solvent. The new method uses the Kovats index, molar mass, and functional group to determine the bubble line of a compound. Boiling points at reduced and normal pressure are compared to literature values of 194 gasoline components. An unlike molecular pair interaction parameter is derived, using only bubble line data of the pure liquids. Binary phase diagrams are constructed and compared to vapor liquid equilibrium data.

    Notes: Summary In this paper, a new type of [60]fulleropyrrolidine functionalized polysiloxane in which the fullerene moieties were incorporated in the main polysiloxane chain was synthesized the first time and used as a stationary phase for capillary gas chromatography. It demonstrated high column efficiency (2600–2866 plates m−1, on a 250 μm diameter column, for naphthalenek=3.1–3.2, 120 °C), a wide operational temperature range (90–360 °C) and outstanding thermostability. It can be used at 360 °C with a baseline drift of 5∼8×10−15A. Benzene homologues, aromatic hydrocarbons, polar compounds such as alcohols, esters, ketones, anilines and phthalic diesters can be seperated well on this column.

    Notes: Summary In this paper, practical considerations of column efficiency, separation speed, thermal stability, and column polarity of capillary columns packed with polybutadiene-coated zirconia were investigated under solvating gas chromatography (SGC) conditions using carbon dioxide as mobile phase. When compared with results obtained from conventional porous octadecyl obtained from conventional porous octadecyl bonded silica (ODS) particles, PBD-zirconia particles produced greater change in mobile phase linear velocity with pressure than conventional ODS particles under the same conditions. The maximum plate number per second (Nt) obtained with a 30 cm PBD-zirconia column was approximately 1.5 times higher than that obtained with an ODS column at 100 °C. Therefore, the PBD-zirconia phase is more suitable for fast separations than conventional ODS particles in SGC. Maximum plate numbers per meter of 76,900 and 63,300 were obtained using a 57 cm×250 μm i.d. fused silica capillary column packed with 3 μm PBD-zirconia at 50 °C and 100 °C, respectively. The PBD-zirconia phase was stable at temperatures up to 320 °C under SGC conditions using carbon dioxide as mobile phase. Polarizable aromatic compounds and low molecular weight ketones and aldehydes were eluted with symmetrical peaks from a 10 cm column packed with 3 μm PBD-zirconia. Zirconia phases with greater inertness are required for the analysis of more polar compounds by SGC.

    Notes: Summary The efficiency of direct solid-phase microextraction (SPME) was determined for 27 selected volatile and semivolatile organic compounds (BTEX, chloro- and bromobenzenes, chlorinated pesticides and PCBs). The fibres used were 7μm polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), 30μm PDMS, 100μm PDMS, 65μm PDMS-divinylbenzene, 85μm polyacrylate, 65μm Carbowax-divinylbenzene, 75μm Carboxen-PDMS and a new 65μm C8 fibre. Extraction yields for these compounds were calculated under standardised conditions: 75μm Carboxen-PDMS was found to be the most efficient fibre for compounds with low boiling points. Although 65μm C8 can be used for extraction of all compounds studied, in no one case is it the most effective coating. 100μm PDMS and the more polar coatings can be used for a broad range of compounds, whereas application of 7μm and 30μm PDMS cannot be recommended. Inter-fibre comparison revealed significant differences between three different Carboxen-PDMS fibres. The results enable suitable coatings to be chosen for each of the 27 compounds and for substances with similar properties.

    Notes: Summary Mixed stationary phases containing of 25,27-dibutoxy-5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-26,28-diundecenyloxy calix [4]arene (C[4]B)+ω-undecylomethyl-18-crown-6 polysiloxane (PSO-11-18-C-6) and C[4]B polysiloxane (PSO-C[4]B)+permethyl-β-cyclodextrin (PM-β-CD) were investigated in capillary gas chromatography. By comparing their selectivity for positional isomers with that of the corresponding individual pure stationary phases, synergistic effects were found.

    Notes: Summary A gas chromatographic assay for the determination of SCH 48973, a potent broad spectrum anti-picornaviral agent, was developed and validated in dog serum. The method involved extraction with organic solvent followed by separation on a capillary column (DB-1) with quantitation by an electron-capture detector. The method was sensitive with a limit of quantitation of 10 ng mL−1. The linearity of the method was satisfactory as indicated by correlation coefficients of 〉0.999 and visual examination of the calibration curves. The method was precise with a coefficient of variation ranging from 2.3 to 13.2% and accurate with a bias ranging from −9.1 to 7.9%. Moreover, SCH 48973 was stable in dog serum after being subjected to three freeze-thaw cycles. The assay was shown to be sensitive, specific, accurate and precise, and reliable for use in pharmacokinetic or toxicokinetic studies.

    Notes: Summary A novel method for the enrichment of nicotine from gaseous samples is presented. It is based on the sampling of 6 liters of air onto a cartridge packed with 100% polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) particles. The analytes are dissolved (partitioned) into the PDMS phase which results in much better recoveries and reproducibilities compared to those obtained on common adsorbents. The PDMS tube is then placed in a thermal desorption (TD) unit connected to a CGC-NPD or CGC-MS system. The procedure was employed for routinely monitoring air in a hospital. Nicotine was typically found at levels ranging from 5 to 250 μg m−3 (ppb) depending on the location and number of smokers present. Additionally, the efficiency of nicotine filters was determined by sampling simultaneously at the filter in- and outlet and was found to be 46%.

    Notes: Abstract  A gas chromatographic method using a capillary column is described for the quantitative analysis of fructose, glucose, sucrose and myo-inositol in orange juice. The method is evaluated for precision and recovery using phenyl-β-glucoside as an internal standard. The results support the suitability of the method. Carbohydrates (fructose, glucose, sucrose and myo-inositol) were determined in different kinds of orange juice. The determination of carbohydrate composition and ratios of the carbohydrate constituents provide a method to assess orange juice quality, especially the myo-inositol content and myo-inositol/fructose ratio. These new indices, which were found to be lower in samples made from concentrates, provide information on the quality and genuineness of orange juice.

    Notes: Abstract  The quantities of the biologically active isomer of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) – C18:2 c9t11 – in 139 German foods were analysed by capillary gas chromatography (results are given as a % of all identified fatty acid methyl esters). The CLA content ranged from 0.40% (Gouda) to 1.70% (Jurassic cheese, Old Emmentaler) in dairy products, from 0.11% (rabbit) to 1.20% (lamb) in meat, and from 0.01% (pike-perch) to 0.09% (carp) in fish. CLA could be detected in neither vegetable fats or oils nor in margarines (CLA 〈0.01%). Crisps, chocolates, cakes and pastries, and other foods have only a negligible CLA content. The average estimated CLA intake in Germany was calculated to be 0.35g CLA/day for women and 0.43g CLA/day for men.

    Notes: Abstract  The analysis of butyric acid (C4) is of importance for the determination of the proportion of milk fat in mixed fats. Three gas chromatographic methods were compared with regard to their precision for the measurement of C4, i.e. analysis of butyric acid methyl ester after trans-esterification of fat by sodium methylate (method A) or trimethyl sulphonium hydroxide (method B), as well as analysis of free butyric acid (method C), using an internal standard with each method. The examination of 30 milk fats which varied greatly in terms of their C4 content, using methods A, B and C, resulted in mean values of C4 of 3.42 g/100 g fat, 3.71 g/100 g fat and 3.06 g/100 g fat, respectively. The value determined using method B seemed too high, and this may have been due to the presence of co-eluting artefacts, whereas the value determined using method C was clearly too low, and can probably be attributed to losses during sample preparation. The standard deviation (SD) of 0.015 obtained from repeated analyses using method A was quite good. Results obtained using methods B and C had SDs of 0.029 and 0.074, respectively. Different levels of free fatty acids did not affect the results obtained using method A. When method A was checked by analysis of the reference fat, CRM 164, the C4 level determined was found to deviate from the certified C4 content of 3.49 (± 0.06) g/100 g fat by only 0.05 g C4/fat 100 g. Thus method A proved the most suitable for the determination of the proportion of milk fat in mixed fats by analysis of butyric acid.

    Notes: Abstract The development of a specific, reliable and noninvasive method for measuring oxidative stress in humans is essential for establishing the role of free radicals in human diseases. Currently, accurate techniques to assess oxidant injury in vivo are extremely limited although a number of approaches are being investigated. Of these, the measurement of specific products of nonenzymatic lipid peroxidation, the F2-isoprostanes (F2-IsoPs), appears to be a more accurate marker of oxidative stress in vivo in humans than other available methods. The purpose of this brief review is to acquaint the reader with the IsoPs from a biochemical perspective and to provide information regarding the utility of quantifying these compounds as indicators of oxidant stress.

    Notes: Abstract  Changes in the free monosaccharide fraction and non-casein nitrogen during the 3-month storage of five batches of commercial UHT milk were studied. Batches with high residual proteolytic activity showed a considerable increase in galactose, N–acetyl glucosamine and N–acetyl galactosamine levels during the storage period, whereas their glucose and myo-inositol contents remained unaltered. In batches with slight or negligible proteolytic activity no changes in the free monosaccharide fraction were observed.

    Notes: Abstract Objective: Application of a new method for analysis of exhaled gas in critically ill patients. Design: Open study. Setting: Surgical intensive care unit of an university hospital. Patients: Thirty-seven consecutive, critically ill, mechanically ventilated patients. Interventions: None. Measurements and results: Chemical analysis of the patient's exhaled gas was based upon substance adsorption and concentration onto activated charcoal, microwave desorption and gas chromatographic separation. Patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) exhaled less isoprene than those without ARDS [9.8 (8.2–21.6) vs 21.8 (13.9–41.4) nmol/m2 per min [median (95 % confidence interval)], p = 0.04]. In patients who developed pulmonary infection, pentane elimination increased from 0.4 (0.0–5.4) to 2.7 (0.6–6.1, p = 0.05) nmol/m2 per min and isoprene elimination decreased from 5.2 (0–33) to 5.0 (0–17, p = 0.05) nmol/m2 per min, resulting in a significant increase in pentane/isoprene ratio from 0.1 (0–0.3) to 0.4 (0–15, p = 0.007) when compared to patients without pulmonary infection. Conclusions: The new method allows quantitative analysis of human gas samples with low substance concentrations and is well suited for clinical studies which involve the investigation of metabolic processes in the lung and the body.

    Notes: Abstract We first recall the observational and theoretical facts that constitute the so-called 3He problem. We then review the chemical anomalies that could be related to the destruction of 3He in red giants stars. We show how a simple consistent mechanism can lead to the destruction of 3He in low mass stars and simultaneously account for the low 12C/13C ratios and low lithium abundances observed in giant stars of different populations. This process should both naturally account for the recent measurements of 3He/H in galactic HII regions and allow for high values of 3He observed in some planetary nebulae. We propose a simple statistical estimation of the fraction of stars that may be affected by this process.

    Notes: Summary Residual synthetic adsorbent, cross-linked polystyrene, used in drug purification has been analyzed quantitatively by Curie-point pyrolysis gas chromatography. The peaks of intact polystyrene adsorbent in the pyrogram were used as key peaks for quantitative measurement of residues of the adsorbent in vitamin B1 and streptomycin sulfate. It was shown that them-ethylstyrene orp-ethylstyrene peaks in the pyrolyzates were suitable for determination of polystyrene adsorbent content. The levels of residual adsorbent in the drugs were found to be 〈0.1 %, the value stipulated by the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH). In quantitative evaluation of an adsorbent content of 0.1 % the precision was 3.6 % and 2.7 % for vitamin B1 and streptomycin sulfate, respectively.

    Notes: Summary A method of extraction, purification and gas chromatographic analysis of five cholesterol oxidation products (COPs) (7β-hydroxycholesterol, 5α, 6α-epoxycholesterol, 25-hydroxycholesterol, 7-ketocholesterol and cholestane-3β, 5α, 6β-triol) has been developed. The method is aimed at the determination of COPs in meat and meat products, in particular dry sausages, where large differences in the content of cholesterol and its oxidation derivatives may occur. Linearity of response of trimethylsilyl ethers was defined. The minimum concentration tested was 2.5 μg g−1 in the injected solution. The main feature of the present work is the addition of a purification step of unsaponifiables by SPE on silica cartridges. Extraction recoveries of COP standard mixtures, performed with or without the SPE step, are evaluated. The introduction of the clean-up step results in high purity samples without further losses in the entire process.

    Notes: Summary Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) has been combined with gas chromatography (GC) and liquid chromatography (LC) for the determination of lidocaine in human urine. A polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) coated fibre was directly immersed into buffered urine. Extraction conditions such as time, pH, ionic strength, temperature, and agitation were optimised. The extracted lidocaine was thermally desorbed in a split/splitless injector for analysis with a GC-FID system or desorbed with liquid in a specially designed SPME-LC interface for analysis with an LC-UV system. After optimisation the method developed was evaluated and validated. Extraction yields of 22% were obtained in about 45 min. The reproducibility of the method is 〈5% (relative standard deviation). For five-times diluted urine, linear ranges were found from 5–1000 and 25–1000 ng·mL−1 for SPME-GC and SPME-LC, with detection limits of 5 ng·mL−1 for SPME-GC and 25 ng·mL−1 for SPME-LC. SPME can be used as a simple sample pretreatment method for the determination of lidocaine in urine by GC and LC.

    Notes: Summary The development of a headspace GC method (HS-GC) to determine the safrole content in differentAsarum species from China and Europe, using eugenol as internal standard, is presented in this paper. The best results could be achieved by thermostating the samples at 100°C for 30.0 min, adding 10 μL of water to each sample. Optimum pressurisation and injection time showed to be 3.0 min and 12 s, respectively. GC separation was performed on an SE-54 column. The HS-GC results for safrole were in good agreement with those obtained by direct GC analysis of the dichloromethane (DCM) plant extracts. The investigated Asarum samples showed great deviations concerning the safrole content even within the sameAsarum species, e.g.Asarum himalaicum from Sichuan contained 0.0051% of this compound, the same species from the province of Hebei 0.53%.

Detection limits of dimethyl phthalate, diethyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate, bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, di-n-octyl phathalate, di-n-nonyl phthalate, benzyl butyl phthalate and benzyl octyl phthalate were approximately 5 ppm. The detection limits of diisononyl phthalate and diisodecyl phthalate, which are mixtures of several isomers, were approximately 200ppm. Analysis of 17 plastic toys revealed that only PVC-toys contained phthalate esters. Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, diisononyl phthalate and diisodecyl phthalate in concentrations up to 40% were present in the PVC-toys.

    Notes: Summary Cyanide can be extracted from whole blood samples by headspace solid-phase microextraction (SPME) with a Carbowax/divinylbenzene-coated fiber. During heating a vial of a whole blood sample containing cyanide and acetonitrile as internal standard (IS) at 50°C in the presence of Na2SO4, a Carbowax/divinylbenzene-coated SPME fiber was exposed in the headspace of the vial for 45 min to allow adsorption of cyanide and IS. The fiber needle was then injected into a capillary gas chromatography (GC) instrument equipped with nitrogen-phosphorus detection. The headspace SPME-GC with a Supel-Q PLOT fused silica capillary column gave large peaks for cyanide and IS; almost no interfering peaks appeared. Recoveries of cyanide dnd IS from human whole blood were 3.02–4.06% and 0.21%, respectively. The calibration curve for cyanide added to human blood showed excellent linearity in the range of 0.04–4.0 μg mL−1; the detection limit was about 0.02 μg mL−1. The coefficients of intra-day and inter-day variation were not greater than 7.1 and 9.2%. Good correlation (r 2=0.999) was found between the present SPME-GC method and the conventional microdiffusion colorimetric method. Data on determination of cyanide in rat blood after intraperitoneal administration are also presented.

    Notes: Summary A rapid and new clean-up method utilizing sulfuric acid treatment is demonstrated to identify and quantify the level of organochlorine (OC) and organophosphorus (OP) pesticide residue concentrations in herbal essential oils by gas chromatography (GC). Essential oils fortified with pesticides, that are extracted from herbs by steam distillation are partitioned with 65% acetonitrile/water(v/v) and treated with sulfuric acid at different reaction times and sulfuric acid concentrations. Optimal conditions, to avoid interference from essential oils in gas chromatographic analysis, is 17% (v/v) of a mixed phase ratio of sulfuric acid to organic solvent (hexane/ethyl ether=9∶1, v/v) and a reaction time of 30s. The response of the flame ionization detector (FID) is linear for all pesticides determined. Recovery of pesticides from fortified herbs studied are in the range of 75% to 111% (RSD, 4% to 11%) for OC, and 72% to 116% (RSD, 2% to 11%) for OP. Although sulfuric acid treatment destroys carbamate and some organophosphorus pesticides, this method has efficiently reduced matrix interference and provides a rapid, economical clean-up method with excellent linear data having low coefficients of variation for the GC analyses of BHC isomers, DDD, DDE, DDT, chlorothalonil, chloropyrifos, tetradifon, fenitrothion, malathion, and parathion in matrices of herbal essential oils.

    Notes: Summary High-performance liquid chromatographic and gas chromatographic methods were developed for the separation of unusual secondary aromatic amino acids. Amino acids containing 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronorharmane-1-carboxylic acid and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3-carboxy-2-carboline moieties were synthetized in racemic or chiral forms. The high-performance liquid chromatography was carried out either on a teicoplanin-containing chiral stationary phase or on an achiral C18 column. In the latter case the diastereomers of the amino acids formed by precolumn derivatization with the chiral reagents 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl isothiocyanate or 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrophenyl-5-L-alanine amide were separated. The gas chromatographic analyses were based on separation on a Chirasil-L-Val column.

There was significant elevation in the level of a number of steroids and steroid metabolites. The elevation of most steroid metabolites refers to the increased steroid secretion of the adrenal and the high cortisol metabolites levels may be do to stress in some of the patients with effluvium.

    Notes: Summary Steroid metabolites have been measured by capillary gas chromatography in the urine of 38 children aged 3–6 years. The children comprised three groups: those with asthma being treated with Terbutaline (13), children with asthma but not undergoing treatment (17), and control children in hospital but free from endocrine diseases (8). There were significant (P〈0.05) differences between the amounts of steroids excreted by the different groups of children. Terbutaline therapy led to elevated levels of tetrahydrocortisone, androstenediol, 11-ketopregnanetriol and a reduced ratio of androgen to cortisol metabolites compared with those for untreated asthmatic children. We assume that Terbutaline does not have a steroid-like mechanism of action but acts by modification of the activity of several adrenocortical enzymes. We suggest a hypothesis whereby the antiasthmatic effect of Terbutaline could not only be a connected with its well-known mechanism of action, but it might be explained as a result of the modification of the production of certain glucocorticoids and androgen hormones.

    Notes: Summary Stationary phases are characterised in a multilinear retention model by retention data of a set of selected prototypical substances. Prototypical stationary phases confirm the application of prototypical substances in the retention model. For comparison, 27 stationary phases are characterized with solute descriptors of the solvation model. New adjusted substance factors are calculated for 33 selected compounds for a new characterization of GC stationary phases in the extended retention model with retention values, calculated from retention indices and b-values of the n-alkane equation. Substance dipolarityD N-factors are separated from πN, the adjusted dipolarity-polarisability. New substance factors give satisfying correlation results and new explanatory factors as phase descriptors for 27 stationary phases.

    Notes: Summary Quantitation of the milk fat content in mixed fats is of interest in food analysis. It can be achieved by calculation from the butyric acid (C4) content in the mixed fat and a mean C4 content for pure milk fats. Alternatively, instead of applying a C4 mean value, the C4 content in the actual milk fat can be used if this reference sample is available. A recently improved analytical method based on gas chromatography of butyric acid methyl ester using an internal standard has been applied to determine the milk fat content in mixtures with beef tallow, lard, soybean oil, olive oil, sunflower oil, palm kernel oil and palm oil ranging from 1 to 90% milk fat content. Within the whole range of mixtures, mean absolute deviations between the determined and the actual milk fat content were below 0.5% and the maximum absolute deviation was not more than 1.0% when using the reference sample. The overall mean absolute deviation was 0.04% for milk fat contents of 1 to 10% and 0.28% for milk fat contents of 10 to 90%.

    Notes: Summary A gas chromatographic method for the analysis of seventeen acids in a water/ethanol matrix is described. The diluted samples were first concentrated by solid phase extraction. Nonanoic acid was the internal standard. A good separation profile was obtained for all compounds, including the isomers: n and iso-butyric acids, n and isovaleric acids and n and iso-caproic acids. The method is fast, sensitive (20–30 μg L−1) and has a good reproducibility (4–7 %). The recovery was in the range of 94%–116% for the medium chain acids (C7-C16). This method allowed the identification of fourteen acids in caninhas and other spirits. The total acid content and the profile of the exportation type caninhas are similar to the ones obtained for several international beverages.

    Notes: Summary A procedure is described for the (non-target) screening of hetero-atom-containing compounds in tap and waste water by correlating data obtained by gas chromatography (GC) using atomic emission (AED) and mass selective (MS) detection. Solid-phase extraction (SPE) was coupled on-line to both GC systems to enable the determination of microcontaminants at the 0.02–1 μg L−1 level in 7–50 mL of aqueous sample. The screening was limited to compounds present in at least one heteroatom-selective GC-AED trace above a predetermined concentration level. These compounds were identified by their partial formulae (AED) and the corresponding mass spectra, which were obtained from the GC-MS chromatogram via the retention index concept. The potential of the approach was demonstrated by the identification of target compounds as well as all unknowns present in tap and waste water above the predetermined threshold of 0.05 μg L−1 (tap water) or 0.5 μg L−1 (waste water).

    Notes: Summary A capillary gas chromatographic method is described for the determination of major plant sterols and cholesterol in edible oils and fats. In the sample preparation procedure reversed-phase, solid-phase extraction with C18 adsorbent was used to extract the unsaponifiable matter and for sample cleanup after saponification. Sterols were quantitated as their trimethylsilylether derivatives using an internal standard method (betulin). The method was validated by recovery tests and analysis of two reference materials representing vegetable oil mixture and milk fat matrices. Average recoveries of spiked cholesterol and cholesterol acetate in rapeseed oil were 103±4% (n=12) and 101±3% (n=10), respectively. The sterol values determined in the reference materials were found to be in a good agreement with their given certified or indicative values. Applied to edible oils and fats, plant sterols and cholesterol at levels〉20 mg kg−1 could be accuratively quantitated.

The chromatographic characteristics including column efficiency, polarity and selectivity were studied. Excellent selectivity for the separation of enantiomers and positional isomers was obtained. The results show that the combined effect between the special caves of β-cyclodextrin and crown ether plays a significant role in the separation.

    Notes: Summary This article describes a theoretical/practical study of the parameters which affect the chromatograms obtained when using a molecular diode-array spectrometer as the detector in gas chromatography. The objective is to offer some rules which permit the identification of the optimum signal/noise relation. To achieve this, we study the effect of the different parameters which affect the noise and how to reduce their impact, as well as alternatives for increasing the signal. All the options tested can be applied by correctly programming the spectrometer with BASIC programs, within reach of any use who has even a small understanding of programming. Finally, we consider the effect that the selection of the acquisition conditions may have on the chromatographic resolution. All the studies are carried out using a mixture of alcohols and phenols.

    Notes: Molecular imprinting is a technique for the fabrication of biomimetic polymeric recognition sites or “plastic antibodies/receptors” which is attracting rapidly increasing interest. By this technology, recognition matrices can be prepared which possess high substrate selectivity and specificity. In the development of this technology, several applications have been foreseen in which imprinted materials may be exchanged for natural recognition elements. Thus, molecularly imprinted polymers have been used as antibody/receptor binding mimics in immunoassay-type analyses, as enzyme mimics in catalytic applications and as recognition matrices in biosensors. The best developed application area for imprinted materials, though, has been as stationary phases for chromatography, in general, and chiral chromatography, in particular. This review seeks to highlight some of the more intriguing advantages of the technique as well as pointing out some of the difficulties encountered. The prospects for future development will also be considered. Chirality 10:195-209, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: The preparative separation of the enantiomers of the title compound, a versatile chiral building block for the synthesis of unnatural amino acid esters, by high performance liquid chromatography on a chiral stationary phase (CSP), is reported for the first time. The CSP consists of amylose-(3,5-dimethylphenyl-carbamate), which has been coated onto the surface of macroporous aminopropyl-functionalized silica gel. The effect of mobile phase composition and the amount of amylose derivative on the silica gel has been thoroughly investigated. Using 2-propanol as organic modifier in hexane as mobile phase, on a semi-preparative column (200 mm × 40 mm ID, containing 192 g of stationary phase) about 200 mg of the racemate was separated per injection. Running the equipment under automatic conditions with repetitive injection mode allowed for the separation of 30 g per day. Both enantiomers were obtained with enantiopurities 〉99.75:0.25.

PNU-103017 is a racemic mixture of two enantiomers, designated PNU-103264 (R-) and PNU-103265 (S-). Stereoselective pharmacokinetics of the two enantiomers of PNU-103017 were observed in the dog, rat, and human after single and multiple dose administration of the racemate and were apparently species-dependent. Mean enantiomeric ratios of plasma concentrations (R-/S-) at each time point were greater than 1 in the dog, ranging from 1.22 to 3.06, but less than 1 in the rat and in the human, ranging from 0.44 to 0.80 and 0.23 to 0.73, respectively. A trend towards increased or decreased (farther from 1:1, R-/S-) enantiomeric ratio of plasma concentrations with time after each administration was also observed. The enantiomeric ratio remained unchanged after multiple dose administration in the rat, dog, and human although enzyme induction and increased plasma clearance were observed for both enantiomers.

    Notes: A study of chirally selective interaction in the stirred crystallization of glutamic acid and lysine is presented. The crystallization of S-glutamic acid is influenced by the presence of S-lysine but not R-lysine. Crystal nuclei in stirred systems are produced due to secondary nucleation. Secondary nucleation is an autocatalytic process in which a crystal produces secondary nuclei due to fluid motion, and due to crystal stirrer and crystal-crystal collisions. As a result of this autocatalysis, small fluctuations in the nucleation rates are amplified and the kinetics show a marked stochastic behavior. We investigate the stochastic behavior in detail and propose a kinetic mechanism that explains both the increase and the statistical distribution of the crystallization times of S-glutamic acid due to the presence of S-Lysine.

    Notes: The aim of this investigation was to elucidate the distribution and reactions of the enantiomers of thalidomide at their main site of biotransformation in vivo, i.e., in human blood. Plasma protein binding, erythrocyte: plasma distribution, and the kinetics of chiral inversion and degradation in buffer, plasma, and solutions of human serum albumin (HSA) were studied by means of a stereospecific HPLC assay. The enantiomers of thalidomide were not extensively bound to blood or plasma components. The geometric mean plasma protein binding was 55% and 66%, respectively, for (+)-(R)- and (-)-(S)-thalidomide. The corresponding geometric mean blood:plasma concentration ratios were 0.86 and 0.95 (at a haematocrit of 0.37) and erythrocyte:plasma distributions were 0.58 and 0.87. The rates of inversion and hydrolysis of the enantiomers increased with pH over the range 7.0-7.5. HSA, and to a lesser extent human plasma, catalysed the chiral inversion, but not the degradation, of (+)-(R)- and (-)-(S)-thalidomide. The addition of capric acid or preincubation of HSA with acetylsalicylic acid or physostigmine impaired the catalysis to varying extents. Correction for distribution in blood enhances previously observed differences between the pharmacokinetics of the enantiomers in vivo. The findings also support the notion that chiral inversion in vivo takes place mainly in the circulation and in albumin-rich extravascular spaces while hydrolysis occurs more uniformly in the body. In addition, the chiral inversion and hydrolysis of thalidomide apparently occur by several different mechanisms. Chirality 10:223-228, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Mechanistic aspects of the biogenesis of the chiral monoterpenoid rose oxide in Pelargonium graveolens L'Héritier are investigated using deuterium-labelled precursors. After administration of the precursors using the cut-stem method, the dynamic headspace extracts of the plants are analysed using multidimensional gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (enantio-MDGC-MS). It is unequivocally shown that this plant is able to convert citronellol and menthocitronellol into cis-/trans-rose oxide. Menthocitronellol is converted into rose oxide with a clearly detectable enantiodiscrimination. These facts may be explained with the presence of an oxidase, which is able to oxidize citronellol and menthocitronellol in allylic position. A photooxygenation mechanism including singlet oxygen as the oxidizing agent is rather unlikely. Chirality 10:229-237, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Asymmetric sulfoxidation by means of a chloroperoxidase from Caldariomyces fumago and hydrogen peroxide as the oxygen source was studied for a series of sterically well-defined substrates. The stereochemistry of the sulfoxidation was the same for all substrates studied. While 2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]thiophene (1) is an excellent substrate (giving 99.5% yield and 99% e.e. of the (R)-sulfoxide), replacement of a methylene group by either a more sterically demanding group or a heteroatom caused a substantial decrease in reactivity or in reactivity as well as enantioselectivity. A further investigation of the lowered catalytic efficiency of chloroperoxidase with these substrates has been carried out in a series of competitive reactions. Thus, benzo[1,3]oxathiole (5) acted as a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme, whereas 1-thiochroman (2) and 1-thiochroman-4-one (3) were shown to be too sterically demanding to significantly compete for the active site. For the oxidation of 2, 3, and 5, it was found that in the low CPO concentration range the chemical yield after 60 min reaction time increased almost linearly with the amount of CPO used. The products from 2 and 3 could be obtained in over 80% yield with an e.e. exceeding 96%. Chloroperoxidase was also found to be an effective catalyst in the oxidation of labile episulfides, yielding the corresponding anti-sulfoxides quantitatively and giving 12% e.e. of (1R, 2R)-sulfoxide in the oxidation of propylene sulfide.

    Notes: Rotational strengths calculated on the basis of quantum-mechanically obtained minimum energy geometries were used to determine the absolute configurations of axially chiral 3-aryl-4(3H)-quinazolinones from the sign of the observed Cotton effects (CEs). For the spectral data, CNDO/S calculations were used; for the geometries, ab initio (RHF/6-31G) and semiempirical (AM1) theories were used. Oscillator and rotational strengths of all excited states down to 200 nm were compared to experimental absorption and circular dichroism (CD) data. It was found that the sign of the 1Lb Cotton effects obtained for the enantiomers of methaqualone and derivatives of 3-aryl-2-alkylthio-4(3H)-quinazolinones can be correlated unambiguously with the absolute configuration. Furthermore, the sign of the Cotton effect of the π-π* transition of the thiocarbonyl chromophore of 3-aryl-2-mercapto-4(3H)-quinazolinones is suitable for a successful stereochemical correlation.

    Notes: Airways of asthma patients can become hyperresponsive to airway spasmogens following regular use of isoprenaline or β2-selective sympathomimetics. Hyperreactivity that results from acute exposure of animals to these drugs is pre-empted by vagal section (a procedure which does not influence spasmolytic efficacy of sympathomimetics), is not diminished by antagonism of β2-adrenoceptors and is not associated with loss of responsivity of β2-adrenoceptors in the airways. Since activation, modulation, or blockade of β2-adrenoceptors does not determine this form of hyperreactivity, the possibility that distomers may induce hyperreactivity must be considered. Ocular and vascular responses to distomers of sympathomimetics have long been recognised and, more recently, comparable observations have been made for the airways. Thus, reactivity of guinea-pig airways to spasmogens was increased following exposure to S-isoprenaline, S-salbutamol, or S-terbutaline and exposure to S-isoprenaline or S-salbutamol can intensify symptoms in asthmatics. Regular exposure to the racemate, especially during or following an allergic reaction, predisposes to expression of hyperreactivity, which is nullified, acutely, by the eutomer. These observations imply that biological effects of sympathomimetic distomers may contribute to morbidity and mortality in asthma patients. Chirality 10:262-272, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

The effects of mobile phase pH, buffer, and organic modifier concentrations were investigated as well as the influence of salts of hydrophobic ions added to the mobile phase to induce ion pair retention.

    Notes: Four cellulose mixed 10-undecenoate/carbamate derivatives, simultaneously bearing 10-undecenoyl and variously substituted phenylaminocarbonyl groups, were chemically bonded on allylsilica gel. The study of the effect of these substitutions on the performance of the resulting chiral supports, and a comparison with the recently described 10-undecenoate/3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate derivative, are presented. In this study heptane/2-propanol or heptane/chloroform mixtures were used as mobile phases. Chirality 10:283-288, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: If a molecule is identified not only by its static spatial constructions, but also by the motions at the sub-molecular level, application of time reversal symmetry operation to a certain molecule could lead to another distinguishable from the original in the sense of sub-molecular motions, a phenomenon now defined as time reversal isomerism. Assessment of the consideration of certain enantiomers as distinguishable time reversal isomers is suggested in order to evoke a comprehensive interpretation of a likely correlation between the two types of isomerisms. The conceptual basis of a connection between absolute asymmetric synthesis under the influence of external fields and the intrinsic time reversal symmetry violation at the molecular level is also established to encourage new experimental investigations on this theme.

    Notes: Various cellulose-2,3-bis-arylcarbamate-6-O-arylesters and cellulose-2,3-bis-arylester-6-O-arylcarbamates, designed to test the possible combined effects of the known tris-arylcarbamate and tris-arylester classes, were synthesized with high regioselectivity at O-C(6), and their use as CSPs in liquid chromatography for enantiomeric separations was investigated. The separations obtained with the synthesized CSPs were compared to the separations achieved on a self-packed reference column, consisting of cellulose-tris-(3,5-dimethylphenyl-carbamate) as CSP standard. Among the synthesized, regioselectively substituted cellulose derivatives, 2,3-bis-O-(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate)-6-O-benzoate-cellulose and 2,3-bis-O-(benzoate)-6-O-(3,5-dichlorophenylcarbamate)-cellulose gave the best CSPs for the separation of the test racemates. CSPs from regioselectively substituted cellulose derivatives seem to exhibit higher selectivities than cellulose-tris-(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) for certain classes of racemic compounds.

    Notes: The configurational stability of (+)- and (-)-diethylpropion [(+)- and (-)-2-(diethyl)-1-phenyl-1-propanone or (+)- and (-)-DEP] was investigated systematically from chemical, pharmaceutical, and pharmacological aspects. The enantiomeric ratio was monitored directly with a recently developed stability-indicating enantioselective HPLC method.In aqueous solutions, the rate of racemization increased non-linearly with increasing pH and with increasing phosphate buffer concentration. The racemization rate showed a positive slope with increasing temperature and decreasing ionic strength.The racemization rates of (+)- and (-)-DEP in the presence of cyclodextrins (CDs) did not differ significantly. CDs that were added to (+)- and (-)-DEP in a molar ratio 5:1 showed the following effects after dissolution in 10 mM phosphate buffer (final pH 6.7): sulfobutyl ether-β-CD (SBE-β-CD) and methylated-β-CD (Me-β-CD) retarded racemization; whereas hydroxypropyl-β-CD (HP-β-CD), acetyl-γ-CD (Ac-γ-CD), acetyl-β-CD (Ac-β-CD), γ-CD, and β-CD showed a weak destabilising effect. In contrast to the described CDs, α-CD distinctly accelerated the rate of racemization.The configurational stability of (+)- and (-)-DEP was also studied under physiological conditions. The half-life of racemization in heparinised human plasma was for both enantiomers determined to be approximately 23-25 min.In phosphate buffer (10 mM, pH 7.4), rac-DEP showed a high, but unselective affinity towards human α1-acid glycoprotein (orosomucoid) immobilised on silica (Chiral AGP).The rate of racemization of the free base of (-)-DEP dissolved in organic solutions generally increases with the polarity of the solvating agent.

    Notes: (+)-(1S;2S)-Pseudoephedrine and racemic mandelic acid form three distinct diastereomeric salts from solutions in 95% ethanol. The least-soluble phase, a hemihydrate, contains the (2R)-mandelate. A salt phase of intermediate solubility is the unsolvated double salt, containing both the (2R)- and the (2S)-mandelate. The most-soluble salt phase contains the (2S)-mandelate. Mandelate configuration and order of solubility (based on the heats of fusion) is inverted from that found in the same system synthesized from chiral base and acid, and then crystallized from benzene solution. The (2R)-mandelate hemihydrate (-H2O at 349.5K, mp 391K), monoclinic, P21, a = 6.788(5), b = 29.415(35), c = 9.488(10)Å, β = 108.91(8)°, Z = 4 (2 ion-pairs/asymmetric unit). Intermediate double salt (2S)- and (2R)-mandelate, mp 377.6K, anorthic, P1, a = 7.758(4), b = 9.966(5), c = 13.366(6)Å, α = 72.99(4), β = 79.98(4), γ = 70.51(4)°, Z = 1 (2 ion-pairs/asymmetric unit). The (2S)-mandelate (mp 386.2K), orthorhombic, P212121, a = 7.079(6), b = 13.443(10), c = 18.820(14)Å, Z = 4 is identical to a salt made from a combination of enantiomeric moieties from benzene solution. While differing from ephedrine mandelates in configuration at one center, solubilities of pseudoephedrine mandelates in 95% ethanol are much larger. A comparison of molecular structure (non-polar and H-bonding) regions of pseudoephedrine and ephedrine mandelates shows similarities and differences that are tentatively linked to crystal properties. This study reemphasizes the necessity for consistency in solvent use in resolution and in phase identification and comparison because the phases produced are frequently dependent upon the solvent.

    Notes: Subcritical fluid chromatography (SubFC) using a carbon dioxide-methanol mobile phase is used for the chiral resolution of IIb/IIIa receptor antagonist enantiomers. The chiral resolution of three analogs, each containing two chiral centers, is optimized using various mobile phase additives. The effects that acidic, basic, and neutral additives have on retention, efficiency, and resolution are examined. The additive that gives the best resolution was found to be dependent upon the functionality and charge of the chiral analyte. For charged analytes, additives that act as competing ions of the same charge as the chiral analyte dramatically improve efficiency and resolution. Resolution of neutral chiral analyte enantiomers is also greatly affected by the choice of mobile phase additive. Chirality 10:338-342, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Chiral asymmetry generation, the predominant production of one enantiomer in a non-chiral environment, could occur in the production of the chiral complex cis-[CoBr(NH3)(en)2]Br2 by the reaction of [Co(H2O)2{(OH)2Co(en)2}2](SO4)2 with ammonium bromide in an aqueous medium. The main kinetic steps in the reaction system have been determined. During the reaction, the product crystallizes at an early stage. When a very small amount of crystalline enantiomer was added to the reaction system at an early stage, the same enantiomer was produced preferentially; in addition, the enantiomeric excess of the product increased with increasing the stirring rate. Thus, it seems that each enantiomer generates chiral crystals that could self-replicate through secondary nucleation when the solution is stirred; these crystals in turn enhance the production of the same enantiomer. With a computer code that simulates such a kinetic mechanism, it is shown that enantiomeric excess observed in the experiments could be reproduced. Chirality 10:343-348, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Stereoselectivity in the renal secretion of carbenicillin (CBPC) was studied in rabbits. Significant renal secretion of CBPC was observed in vivo, with the secretion of the S-epimer being greater than that of the R-epimer. Stereoselective transport of CBPC was further studied in vitro using basolateral and brush border membrane vesicles prepared from rabbit kidneys. The transport of CBPC by the organic anion transporter into the basolateral membrane vesicles (BLMV) was not stereoselective. In contrast, a distinct stereoselectivity was observed in the transport of CBPC by the organic anion transporter into the brush border membrane vesicles (BBMV), with the transport of the S-epimer being more favorable. Significant epimer-epimer interactions were also observed in the transport into BBMV. The stereoselectivity of the transport of CBPC was calculated from the kinetic parameters with consideration of epimer-epimer interactions and was similar to that observed in vivo. It was concluded that the observed stereoselectivity in the renal secretion of CBPC in vivo reflected that of transport via the organic anion transporter located at the brush border membrane.

A hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin stationary phase was used in conjunction with a nonaqueous, polar-organic mobile phase. The method can be applied to control the enantiomeric purity of the catalyst, which is of great importance for quality control of that product. High accuracy in the determination of trace levels of the unwanted enantiomer in the presence of large amounts of the desired enantiomer is demonstrated.

    Notes: Several cyclic imidic compounds (barbiturates, piperidine-2,6-diones, and mephenytoin) are enantiomerically resolved via high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on a macrocyclic antibiotic covalently bonded to a silica gel support. The Chirobiotic V chiral stationary phase (CSP) column contains the antibiotic vancomycin as the chiral selector. The results of the analysis show that the substituents at the chiral carbon position of the racemic drugs affect chiral resolution. In addition, ring size may also play a role when considering the formation of analyte-CSP inclusion complexes. Contrary to the piperidine-2,6-diones, the chromatographic parameters for the barbiturates are much the same under normal- or reversed-phase conditions. The details of these results are discussed.

    Notes: This paper describes the enantiorecognition of (±)nicotine and (±)nornicotine by high-performance liquid chromatography using two derivatized cellulose chiral stationary phases (CSPs) operated in the normal phase mode. It was found that different substituents linked to the cellulose backbone significantly influence the chiral selectivity of the derivatized CSP. The results showed that, in general, the tris(4-methylbenzoyl) cellulose CSP (Chiralcel OJ) surpasses tris(3,5-dimethylphenyl carbamoyl) cellulose CSP (Chiralcel OD). On the former column, the resolution (±)nicotine and (±)nornicotine enantiomers depended largely on mobile phase compositions. For the separation of the nicotine enantiomers, the addition of trifluoroacetic acid to a 95:5 hexane/alcohol mobile phase greatly improved the enantioresolution, probably due to enhanced hydrogen bonding interactions between the protonated analytes and the CSP. For (±)nornicotine separation, a reduction in the concentration of alcohol in the mobile phase was more effective than the addition of trifluoroacetic acid. Possible solute-mobile phase-stationary phase interactions are discussed to explain how different additives in the mobile phase and different substituents on the cellulose glucose units of the CSPs affect the separation of both pairs of enantiomers.

    Notes: The retention mechanisms and the separation of enantiomers on the classes of chiral stationary phases which are made by bonding isolated groups on the surface of an adsorbent are discussed. It is shown that retention on these phases originates from mixed mechanisms and how the individual contributions of these two mechanisms can be separated, by determining and modeling the equilibrium isotherms. A contribution originating from interactions of the isomers with the nonselective sites (type-I) and another one due to interactions with the enantioselective sites (type-II) can be determined and their importance studied as a function of several parameters, e.g., temperature or pH. This approach is illustrated with results obtained with different pairs of enantiomers on bovine serum albumin, 4-methylcellulose tribenzoate, or cellobiohydrolase immobilized on silica.

    Notes: The manner of hydrogen-bonding to peptide selectors in enantiomer separation is examined with the help of a structural model. This model relies on a C3-symmetric trispeptide selector, which is stabilized by a network of distinct intramolecular hydrogen bonds. A combination of experimental and theoretical tools enables us to identify the lowest-energy conformation of the trispeptide selector and the sites of selector-substrate interactions. Experimental tools include temperature dependent 1H-NMR studies, 1D-NOE-measurements, and titration experiments, with the theoretical tools being EFF and CFF91 molecular mechanics calculations. The structural information deduced from these investigations is shown to bear on the enantioseparation of the corresponding chiral stationary phase towards derivatized amino acids. These observations, taken together, help to rationalize the mode of enantiomer-separation by amide phases as involving predominantly C7-hydrogen bonding sites.

    Notes: Nucleic acids are characterized by a predominant right-handed helical configuration that derives from the chirality of the sugar moiety. Hitherto, only “local” effects of this helical asymmetry, exemplified by DNA interactions with small compounds, have been documented. The results described in this study indicate that an enhanced asymmetry is required for the manifestation of chiral effects in DNA self-assembly processes or for chiral discrimination upon interactions with peptides. Two cases in which the intrinsic DNA asymmetry is enhanced are reported: rod-like superhelical species derived from linear DNA molecules, and topologically constrained supercoiled DNA. In the first case, the superhelical grooves within the DNA rods allow for a stereospecific complexation with peptides, resulting in chiral discrimination. In the second case, it is shown that the properties of cholesteric assemblies derived from supercoiled DNA are strictly determined by the enhanced asymmetry associated with molecular supercoiling. The results allow for new reflections on the concept of molecular complementarity, and indicate that spontaneously obtained chiral DNA mesophases might have played a key role in determining terrestrial homochirality.

    Notes: Spontaneous separation of enantiomers in two- and three-dimensional crystals is driven by the same thermodynamic and kinetic factors. However, amphiphilic crystalline monolayers at an interface cannot possess a center of inversion, the most common symmetry element in bulk crystals. This fact should, in principle, lead to better chances for spontaneous separation in the Langmuir or Langmuir-Blodgett monomolecular films. On the other hand, the monolayers of most amphiphiles studied to date incorporate long aliphatic chains that have an intrinsic tendency to pack in a herring-bone motif requiring glide plane symmetry, thus creating a bias towards racemate formation. Moreover, 2-D crystals supposedly have a much higher degree of molecular and therefore enantiomeric disorder compared to bulk crystals. All these factors necessitate a careful choice of molecules to guarantee enantiomeric separation in two dimensions. Unambiguous detection of spontaneous resolution in 2-D appears to require atomic resolution of molecular packing arrangement, which can in principle be obtained by grazing incidence X-ray diffraction or atomic force microscopy, whereas in bulk solids spontaneous resolution can be easily detected by various macroscopic methods. This short review provides analogies between spontaneous separation in 3-D and recent examples in 2-D, showing that spontaneous separation generally depends upon subtle differences in molecular structure.

    Notes: The rotational barriers ΔG† (T) of the four atropisomeric polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) 2,2′,3,5′,6-pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB 95), 2,2′3,3′,4,6′-hexachlorobiphenyl (PCB 132), 2,2′,3,3′,6,6′-hexachlorobiphenyl (PCB 136), and 2,2′,3,4′,5′,6-hexachlorobiphenyl (PCB 149) were determined via on-line enantiomerization kinetics by a new stopped-flow multidimensional gas chromatographic technique (stopped-flow MDGC) employing Chirasil-Dex as chiral stationary phase for enantiomer separation. The calculated rotational barriers ΔG† (T) of the trichloro-ortho-substituted atropisomers are 184 ± 2 kJ/mol for PCB 95, 189 ± 4 kJ/mol for PCB 132, and 184 ± 1 kJ/mol for PCB 149 at 300°C. The rotational barrier ΔG† (T) of tetrachloro-ortho-substituted PCB 136 is at least (or higher than) 210 kJ/mol at 320°C. Chirality 10:425-429, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: In concert with a larger study of the processes by which chiral stationary phase CSP 1 differentiates between enantiomers, we have investigated the chromatographic separation of the enantiomers of a series of aryl-substituted heterocycles of systematically varied structure. A mechanistic picture of how these and similar resolutions occur is emerging. The mechanistic hypothesis described herein is of predictive value. Chirality 10:430-433, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: The macrocyclic glycopeptide, ristocetin A, was covalently bonded to a silica gel support and evaluated as a liquid chromatographic (LC) chiral stationary phase (CSP). Over 230 racemates were resolved in either the reversed-phase mode, the normal-phase mode, or the polar-organic mode. The retention behavior and selectivity of this CSP were examined in each mode. Optimization of separations on this column is discussed. The ristocetin A CSP appeared to be complimentary to other glycopeptide CSPs (i.e., vancomycin and teicoplanin). Column stability was excellent. The CSP was not irreversibly altered when going from one mobile phase mode to another. Chirality 10:434-483, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: A sensitive enantioselective high-performance chromatographic (HPLC) method was developed and validated to determine low levels of (-)-R and (+)-S-albuterol in plasma. Baseline resolution was achieved by using a teicoplanin-based chiral stationary phase with a polar organic mobile phase consisting of methanol/acetonitrile/glacial acetic acid/diethylamine, 40:60:0.3:0.2, (v/v/v/v) and a flow-rate of 1.0 ml/min. Enantioselectivity (α) equaled 1.18 and resolution (Rs) equaled 1.8. By using fluorescence detection maximized at 230 and 310 nm for excitation and emission, respectively, concentrations of each enantiomer could be measured down to 125 pg/ml from a 1-ml plasma sample. Initially, the method was applied to plasma samples from a small single-dose inhalation study of racemic albuterol in a human volunteer and, later, to in vivo samples from a canine inhalation study of the single enantiomer, (-)-R-albuterol. Results from the canine study showed that no chiral inversion of (-)-R-albuterol occurs in the dog. Chirality 10:484-491, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: The advantages that can be gained from derivatization of various racemic aliphatic and aromatic alcohols prior to enantiomeric chromatographic separation have been systematically investigated for a series of benzoate derivatives. Three cellulose-based CSPs available in the pure polymeric form - tribenzoyl cellulose (TBC), meta-methylbenzoyl cellulose (MMBC), and para-methylbenzoyl cellulose (PMBC) - were selected and several benzoate derivatives varying in the nature and the position of the substituent on the benzoyl group were prepared and analysed. TBC clearly gives the broadest application range, and among the different benzoate esters the best selectivity was generally obtained with either the 4-methoxybenzoate or the 4-methylbenzoate derivatives. Based on these results, some empirical rules could be formulated for optimizing the enantiomeric separation of racemic alcohols, which make up one of the most important classes of chemical substances used as drugs and biocides, or as building blocks for their synthesis. An application of this approach to the preparative separation of the enantiomers of a drug intermediate is also shown. Chirality 10:492-498, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Capillary gas chromatography employing the unique selectivities of specifically substituted cyclodextrins is highly suited for stereochemical investigations of terpenoid compounds. The analysis of many essential oils have shown that monoterpene derivatives regularly occur as enantiomeric mixtures. In the case of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, liverworts (Hepaticae) and other lower organisms usually biosynthesize compounds of opposite stereochemistry as compared to higher plants and enantiomeric mixtures occur only occasionally. The investigation of diterpene hydrocarbons has so far shown no indication of the presence of both enantiomers in the same plant. Chirality 10:499-504, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: A study of the applicability of circular dichroism (CD) for the determination of drug levels in human serum is described and a new method for the quantitative determination of optically active absorbing drugs having Cotton effects at wavelengths above 250 nm in human serum and/or plasma is proposed. The principal advantages of this method are speed, economy, and simplicity, no derivatization or chromatographic separation steps being needed. The validity of the CD determination was confirmed by analysis of variance, β-lactam antibiotics being chosen as model drugs. In addition, the validation studies performed confirm the accuracy and precision of the proposed method. For β-lactam antibiotics lacking Cotton effects above 250 nm, an alternative method based on the extraction of the drug from serum is considered. Chirality 10:507-512, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Assuming the active molecule as a two-level system, we calculate the racemization, due to the tunneling effect, taking into account the effects of the weak interactions and of an external potential. We show that the weak interactions would block the tunneling racemization of enantiomers in compressed gases and liquids. Chirality 10:519-521, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: The chromatographic parameters for 12 structurally related compounds in the 4a-methyl-2,3,4,4a-tetrahydro-1H-fluorene and 4a-methyl-1,2,3,4,4a,9a-hexahydro-fluoren-9-one series are reported on CTA-I and Chiralcel OJ chiral stationary phases. Arrangement of the k' values according to configurationally related enantiomer series (Class I and Class II) and not according to the actual order of elution, allows the treatment of the data by linear correlation with structure and substituent effect. A detailed analysis of the capacity factor variation with respect to the structural changes shows clearly that the framework and substitution effects do not result in the same response on the two cellulose ester chiral stationary phases. More interestingly, it emerges that chiral discimination may be attributed to certain areas of the molecule, these areas being different in the interaction within CTA-I and Chiralcel OJ. Furthermore, our analysis points out the relevance of attempting to develop quantitative relationships for configurationally related series of enantiomers (in our case Class I and Class II), the main effort being devoted to the understanding of the capacity factor variation in each class rather than of the α values, which are derived entities.

    Notes: The enantiomers of Propranolol, Pindolol, and Carazolol, well-known β-blockers, have been used to prepare cationic aminophosphine phosphinite rhodium complexes. Propraphos-Rh and Pindophos-Rh are very efficient catalysts in the asymmetric hydrogenation of N-Boc-protected unusual dehydroamino acid derivatives. Carazolol-Rh is less suitable in both activity and enantioselectivity. Under the same conditions, N-Boc-protected dehydrodipeptides are hydrogenated with diastereoselectivities between 70 and 90% de.

    Notes: The fungus Cordyceps militaris has been previously shown to be capable of inverting the chirality of 2-phenylpropionic acid from its (R)-enantiomer to its (S)-antipode. The structure of this compound is similar to the 2-arylpropionic acid non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which have also been reported to undergo a similar chiral inversion process in mammals and man. We report here an investigation into the substrate specificity of the enzyme system present in C. militaris using pure enantiomers and racemates of ibuprofen and ketoprofen and racemates of indoprofen, suprofen, flurbiprofen, and fenoprofen and the structurally related compounds 2-phenylbutyric acid and 2-phenoxypropionic acid as substrates, using optimised incubation conditions developed for the inversion of 2-phenylpropionic acid. The results demonstrated that C. militaris is capable of inverting the chirality of all the compounds investigated, which suggests that the active sites of the enzymes are very flexible with regard to the molecular dimensions of the substrate molecule and the spatial occupation of the groups surrounding the chiral centre. Metabolism of all the substrates was observed but the rate of metabolism varied extensively depending on the substrate. Achiral HPLC analysis was used to detect any potential metabolites and the results suggested that the site of the metabolism appeared to be at the aliphatic side groups only, with the aromatic ring being left intact in all cases. These results suggest that C. militaris could be a valuable tool in the investigation of the prospective metabolic fates of new 2-arylpropionic acids during their development.

    Notes: Gas chromatographic study on chiral separation of PCBs was performed in a series of capillary columns coated with 0.1-μm film of modified cyclodextrin (CD) stationary phases. The preparation of columns included the investigation into the effect of the content of cyclodextrin derivative in polysiloxane, the type of polysiloxane and temperature of analysis on the quality of separation and retention of atropisomers of 15 selected PCB congeners. The separation properties towards PCBs of stationary phase heptakis(2,3-di-O-methyl-6-O-tert-butyl-dimethylsilyl)-β-CD dissolved in SE-30, SE-54, and OV-1701, were compared with those of 6-monokis-octamethylene-permethyl-β-CD anchored to polydimethylsiloxane polymer (ChirasilDex column, Chrompack, Middelburg, The Netherlands) and octakis(2,6-di-O-methyl-3-O-pentyl)-γ-CD in OV-1701 (MEGA, Legnano (MI), Italy). The correctness of quantitative enantiomer ratio determination was assesed by splitless analysis of PCBs reference solutions in concentration of 1.25-125 ng/ml (PCBs 45 and 91) and 2.5-250 ng/ml (PCB 95) (the PCB congeners are numbered according to IUPAC).
