Selected AbstractsDetermination of glyoxal and methylglyoxal in the serum of diabetic patients by MEKC using stilbenediamine as derivatizing reagentELECTROPHORESIS, Issue 21 2007Muhammad A. Mirza Abstract An analytical method has been developed for the separation of glyoxal (Go), methylglyoxal (MGo), and dimethylglyoxal (DMGo) by MEKC using stilbenediamine (SD) as derivatizing reagent, separation time 6.5,min, SDS as micellar medium at pH,8, and sodium tetraborate (0.1,M) as buffer. Uncoated fused-silica capillary, effective length 50,cm×75,,m id; applied voltage 20,kV and photodiode array detection, were used. Calibration was linear within 0.02,150,,g/mL with detection limits 3.5,5.8,ng/mL. Go and MGo, observed for diabetic and healthy volunteers, were within 0.098,0.193,,g/mL Go and 0.106,0.245,,g/mL MGo with RSD 1.6,3.5 and 1.7,3.4%, respectively, in diabetics against 0.016,0.046,,g/mL Go and 0.021,0.066,,g/mL MGo with RSDs 1.5,3.5 and 1.4,3.6%, respectively, in healthy volunteers. Go and MGo in diabetics were also measured by standard addition and DMGo as an internal standard. Additives do not contribute significantly to Go and MGo matrix. [source] High-performance liquid chromatography with sequential injection for online precolumn derivatization of some heavy metalsJOURNAL OF SEPARATION SCIENCE, JSS, Issue 16 2007Rodjana Burakham Abstract HPLC was coupled with sequential injection (SI) for simultaneous analyses of some heavy metals, including Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Fe(II). 2-(5-Nitro-2-pyridylazo)-5-[N -propyl- N -(3-sulfopropyl)amino]phenol (nitro-PAPS) was employed as a derivatizing reagent for sensitive spectrophotometric detection by online precolumn derivatization. The SI system offers an automated handling of sample and reagent, online precolumn derivatization, and propulsion of derivatives to the HPLC injection loop. The metal,nitro-PAPS complexes were separated on a C18 -,Bondapak column (3.9×300 mm2). Using the proposed SI-HPLC system, determination of four metal ions by means of nitro-PAPS complexes was achieved within 13 min in which the parallel of derivatization and separation were processed at the same time. Linear calibration graphs were obtained in the ranges of 0.005,0.250 mg/L for Cu(II), 0.007,1.000 mg/L for Co(II), 0.005,0.075 mg/L for Ni(II), and 0.005,0.100 mg/L for Fe(II). The system provides means for automation with good precision and minimizing error in solution handling with the RSD of less than 6%. The detection limits obtained were 2 ,g/L for Cu(II) and Co(II), and 1 ,g/L for Ni(II) and Fe(II). The method was successfully applied for the determination of metal ions in various samples, including milk powder for infant, mineral supplements, local wines, and drinking water. [source] Marfey's reagent: Past, present, and future uses of 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrophenyl-5-L-alanine amideJOURNAL OF SEPARATION SCIENCE, JSS, Issue 1-2 2003Clayton B'Hymer Abstract This article describes some of the uses of Marfey's reagent, 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrophenyl-5-L-alanine amide (FDAA), a pre-column derivatizing reagent for the separation of enantiomeric isomers of amino acids and amine compounds. An introduction to the basic implementation of this reagent and its historical development are presented. Actual uses in amino acid, short peptide, and pharmaceutical compounds are included, as well as the advantages and disadvantages over other pre-column derivatization techniques and direct chromatographic separations. Applications of current interest, including its use as an orthogonal analysis and in enantiomeric purity analysis of selenoamino acids using element specific detection, are also discussed. [source] Comparative metabolite profiling of carboxylic acids in rat urine by CE-ESI MS/MS through positively pre-charged and 2H-coded derivatizationELECTROPHORESIS, Issue 22 2008Wen-Chu Yang Abstract A new approach to the selective comparative metabolite profiling of carboxylic acids in rat urine was established using CE-MS and a method for positively pre-charged and 2H-coded derivatization. Novel derivatizing reagents, N -alkyl-4-aminomethyl-pyridinum iodide (alkyl=butyl, butyl-d9 or hexyl), containing quaternary amine and stable-isotope atoms (deuterium), were introduced for the derivatization of carboxylic acids. CE separation in positive polarity showed high reproducibility (0.99,1.32% RSD of migration time) and eliminated problems with capillary coating known in CE-MS anion analyses. Essentially complete ionization and increased hydrophobicity after the derivatization also enhanced MS detection sensitivity (e.g. formic acid was detected at 0.5,pg). Simultaneous derivatization of one sample using two structurally similar reagents, N -butyl-4-aminomethyl-pyridinum iodide (BAMP) and N -hexyl-4-aminomethyl-pyridinum iodide, provided additional information for recognizing a carboxylic acid in an unknown sample. Moreover, characteristic fragmentation acquired by online CE-MS/MS allowed for identification and categorization of carboxylic acids. Applying this method on rat urine, we found 59 ions matching the characteristic patterns of carboxylic acids. From these 59, 32 ions were positively identified and confirmed with standards. For comparative analysis, 24 standard carboxylic acids were derivatized by chemically identical but isotopically distinct BAMP and N -butyl-d9-4-aminomethyl-pyridinium iodide, and their derivatization limits and linearity ranges were determined. Comparative analysis was also performed on two individual urine samples derivatized with BAMP and N -butyl-d9-4-aminomethyl-pyridinium iodide. The metabolite profiling variation between these two samples was clearly visualized. [source] A comparative study of several HPLC methods for determining free amino acid profiles in honeyJOURNAL OF SEPARATION SCIENCE, JSS, Issue 9-10 2005José Luis Bernal Abstract A study of the viability of three derivatizing reagents for obtaining amino acid profiles in honey through high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is presented. A method using diode array detection based on a reaction with diethyl ethoxymethylene malonate (DEMM) and two other methods using fluorescence detection based on derivatization with fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (FMOC-Cl) and 6-aminoquinolyl- N -hydroxysuccinimidyl carbamate (AQC) have been developed. The three methods yield detection limits close to the ppb level, but vary in relation to other analytical characteristics. The use of methyl chloroformate derivatives allows the profile to be obtained with the greatest sensitivity within a short time frame. On applying such methods to honey samples of diverse botanical origin, we observe that the proline values obtained are always lower than those found using the official spectrophotometric method, thereby underlining the advisability of using HPLC methods to reduce uncertainty in these results. [source] Enantioresolution of dl -penicillamineBIOMEDICAL CHROMATOGRAPHY, Issue 1 2010Ravi Bhushan Abstract Penicillamine (PenA) is a nonproteinogenic amino acid containing a thiol group. The three functional groups in penicillamine undergo characteristic chemical reactions and differ in their ability to participate in various chemical and biochemical reactions. d -penicillamine is more active pharmacologically, while the l -isomer occurs ,naturally'. This review deals with the enantioresolution of PenA both by direct and indirect methods using liquid chromatography. HPLC separation of its diastereomers prepared with different chiral derivatizing reagents (on reversed-phase columns) and separation of the derivatives prepared with achiral reagents (on chiral columns or via ligand exchange mode) has been discussed. Separation of enantiomers tagged with achiral reagent (to add a chromophore for ehanced detection) when there is no diastereomer formation has been considered separately. In addition, application of PenA and its derivatives as chiral selector for enentioresolution of certain other compounds has also been discussed. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] Discrimination of enantiomers of ,-amino acids by chiral derivatizing reagents from trans -1,2-diaminocyclohexane,CHIRALITY, Issue 3-4 2008Magdalena Kaik Abstract New chiral derivatizing reagents (CDAs) derived from trans -1,2-diaminocyclohexane, having an electron-deficient aromatic substituent (either an aromatic imide or 3,5-dinitrobenzamide) and rigid structure (either an amide or a urea linker), are reported. Significant shift differences of diastereotopic protons in the 1H NMR signals are observed for enantiomers of suitably protected ,-amino acids, linked to CDA by a covalent bond. A simple, general model rationalizing the observed enantiomer discrimination and based on semiempirical conformational search is presented. Chirality, 2008. © 2007 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
