It is known that some strains of Vibrio parahaemolyticus are responsible for gastroenteric diseases caused by the ingestion of marine organisms contaminated with these bacterial strains. Organic products that show inhibitory activity on the growth of the pathogenic V. parahaemolyticus were extracted from a Vibrio native in the north of Chile. The inhibitory organic products were isolated by rev...

High efficiency, cost effectiveness and short run time are the basic requirements of high-speed chromatographic separations. To fulfill these requirements, an advanced separation technique, ultraperformance liquid chromatography (UPLC), has shown promising developments. A rapid, specific, sensitive, and precise reverse-phase UPLC method was developed for the determination of antiparkinson drug ...

INTRODUCTION Chromatography is probably the most powerful analytical technique available to the modern chemist. Its power arises from its capacity to determine quantitatively many individual components present in mixture by single analytical procedure[1-2]. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is a chromatographic technique that can separate a mixture of compounds and is used in bioche...

The current studies entail systematic quality by design (QbD)-based development of simple, precise, cost-effective and stability-indicating high-performance liquid chromatography method for estimation of ketoprofen. Analytical target profile was defined and critical analytical attributes (CAAs) were selected. Chromatographic separation was accomplished with an isocratic, reversed-phase chromato...

A two dimensional-liquid chromatography (2D-LC) based approach was developed for the identification and quantification of histone post translational modifications in conjunction with mass spectrometry analysis. Using a bottom-up strategy, offline 2D-LC was developed using reverse phase chromatography. A porous graphitic carbon stationary phase in the first dimension and a C18 stationary phase i...

Glia-promoting factors (GPFs) are brain peptides which stimulate growth of specific macroglial populations in vitro. To identify the cellular sources of GPFs, we examined enriched brain cell cultures and cell lines derived from the nervous system for the production of growth factors. Ameboid microglia secreted astroglia-stimulating peptides, while growing neurons were the best source of the oli...

Imipenem and cilastatin concentrations in serum were determined by using reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography. Serum samples were stabilized with 0.5 M morpholineethanesulfonic acid buffer (pH 6.0) and subjected to ultrafiltration before chromatography. The elution solvent consisted of water or potassium phosphate buffered to pH 2.5 and methanol. The imipenem and cilastatin peaks w...

Both LTB4 and AGEPC stimulate PMN aggregation in a concentration-dependent manner. The lipoxygenase inhibitors ETYA and NDGA block AGEPC-induced but not LTB4-induced PMN aggregation. Agents that elevate PMN cyclic AMP levels block both LTB4-and AGEPC-induced aggregation. Paradoxically, shortly after aggregation is initiated by either AGEPC or LTB4, a transient spike in cyclic AMP levels is obse...

A novel fibrinolytic peptide (Hannahpep) was isolated and purified from the venom of the Indian King Cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) by thin-layer chromatography followed by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The MW of the peptide was found to be 610 Da and the amino acid sequence of Hannahpep was determined to be Arg, His, Ala, Arg, His, Asp. Hannahpep produced defibrinogenating ...
