A procedure is described for purifying a low molecular weight peptide that induces differentiation in mouse myeloid leukemia M1 cells. The factor comes from the conditioned medium of macrophage-like cells differentiated from mouse myeloid leukemia M1 cells. The procedure for purification includes gel filtration on Sephadex G-15, anionic exchange chromatography, thin-layer chromatography, revers...

An α-glucosidase inhibitor was developed from Aspergillus oryzae N159-1, which was screened from traditional fermented Korean foods. The intracellular concentration of the inhibitor reached its highest level when the fungus was cultured in tryptic soy broth medium at 27℃ for five days. The inhibitor was purified using a series of purification steps involving ultrafiltration, Sephadex G-25 gel p...

Supercritical fluid and microbore liquid chromatography offer potential applications for drug analysis. In supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), the mobile phase is a gas (e.g., carbon dioxide) maintained at its supercritical state--that is, above its critical temperature and pressure, above which it cannot be liquefied even with further increases in applied pressure. The SFC mobile phase h...

−In reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RP-LC), the separation of ionized compounds at neutral pH of the mobile phase is ineffective because these compounds easily become ionized and too hydrophilic to adsorb on the hydrophobic C18 stationary phase. The common method to separate ionized compounds in RP-LC is the usage of the ion pairing agent and the control of pH in the mobile phase. In this...

The theory and use of the "three-phase" model in enantioselective gas-liquid chromatography utilizing a methylated cyclodextrin/polysiloxane stationary phase is presented for the first time. Equations are derived that account for all three partition equilibria in the system, including partitioning between the gas mobile phase and both stationary-phase components and the analyte equilibrium betw...

In this study, hollow fiber liquid phase microextraction (HF-LPME) coupled with highperformanceliquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV detection was applied for preconcentrationand determination of Diclofenac sodium in biological fluids. Parameters affecting the extractionprocess including pH of donor phase and acceptor phase, type of extraction solvent, stirring rate,extraction time, and salt add...

A highly efficient technique has been developed for the resolution of several sterols that are intermediates in the biosynthesis of cholesterol and that differ only by one carbon-carbon double bond or by one methyl group. The technique described utilizes reverse-phase high-pressue liquid chromatography on a micronBondapak-C18 column with acetonitrile as eluting solvent. This procedure is capabl...

Studies are described on the phase I and II metabolism and the toxicological analysis of the piperazine-derived designer drug 1-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)piperazine (TFMPP) in rat urine using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS). The identified metabolites indicated that TFMPP was extensively metabolized, mainly by hydroxylation of the ...

urinary 1-hydroxypuren (1-ohp) is commonly used as a major metabolite and biological indicator of the overall exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs). for evaluation of human exposure to such compounds, biological monitoring is an essential process, in which, preparation of samples is one of the most time-consuming and error-prone aspects prior to chromatographic techniques. in this...
