Twelve N-substituted-glycinyl triazolyl oxazolidinone derivatives were screened for antimycobacterial activity against susceptible (Mycobacteriumtuberculosis (Mtb) H37Rv) and resistant (isoniazid (INH)-resistant Mtb (SRI 1369), rifampin (RMP)-resistant Mtb (SRI 1367), and ofloxacin (OFX)-resistant Mtb (SRI 4000)) Mtb strains. Most of the compounds showed moderate to strong antimycobacterial act...

Hydroxydihydrobovolide (HDB) was for the first time isolated from Portulaca oleracea L. and then its cytotoxicity against SH-SYTY cells was studied. Moreover, a rapid and sensitive ultra-high performance liquid chromatographic (UHPLC) method with bergapten as internal standard (IS) was developed and validated to investigate the pharmacokinetics of HDB in rats after intravenous and oral administ...

A reliable ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS) method for the fast simultaneous determination of 13 nucleosides and nucleobases in Cordyceps sinensis (C. sinensis) with 2-chloroadenosine as internal standard was developed and validated. Samples were ultrasonically extracted in an ice bath thrice, and the optimum analyte...

Ivermectin (IVE), one of the most important anthelmintics, is often used in the treatment of haemonchosis in ruminants. The objective of our work was (1) to find and identify phase I and II metabolites of IVE formed by the Barber's pole worm (Haemonchus contortus), and (2) to compare IVE metabolites in helminths with IVE biotransformation in sheep (Ovis aries) as host species. Ultrahigh-perform...

A novel, stability-indicating UHPLC method was developed for the quantitative determination of Abacavir sulfate, its related substances, and forced degradation impurities in bulk drugs. The chromatographic separation was achieved on a Waters Acquity BEH C(8), 50 mm × 2.1 mm, 1.7 μm particle size column with a mobile containing a gradient mixture of solution A (0.10 % v/v o-phosphoric acid in wa...

Nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice are a commonly used model of type 1 diabetes (T1D). However, not all animals will develop overt diabetes despite undergoing similar autoimmune insult. In this study, a comprehensive metabolomic approach, consisting of gas chromatography time-of-flight (GC-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS), ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-accurate mass quadruple time-of-flight...

Food adulteration and mislabeling may pose potential health risks and trust issues to consumers, particularly for high-valued wine products. The current analytical methods and anticounterfeit labeling techniques are insufficient to determine the identity and point of origins for these products. This application note describes a metabolomic profiling method to trace the origins of wine products ...

In this Application Note, a method was developed on sub-2 μm particle columns and transferred to a conventional HPLC method using Quality by Design (QbD) principles. A seamless method transfer between the different chromatography systems was achieved using the Agilent Intelligent System Emulation Technology (ISET). Initial method development work on the Agilent Infinity 1290 system included aut...

Reversed-phase ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-UHPLC) was used for the separation of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) variants. A bridged ethylene hybrid silica C18 column was used at 37°C. The composition and temperature of the mobile phase were optimized for the separation. An isocratic elution, with approximately 46% acetonitrile in 25 mM potassium borate buffer (pH 8...

Bisphenol A can leach out from the plastic surfaces of food containers and has been detected in various matrices such as plasma, urine and groundwater. Bipshenol A is an endocrine disruptor, which can mimic the body’s own hormones such as estrogen and may lead to negative health effects. In this Application Note, we describe a method to quantify bisphenol A and a structurally similar analog bis...
