TL;DR: The results of gas chromatography mass spectrometry revealed that hydroxy fatty acid components of the hydroxy derivatives were derived from isomeric hydroperoxides of oleic acid, linoleic Acid, arachidonic acid and docosahexanoic acid.
Abstract: A convenient method for the preparation of hydroperoxy and hydroxy derivatives of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) is described. PC and PE obtained from rat liver were oxidized with singlet oxygen by using methylene blue as the photosensitizer, and their hydroperoxides were isolated with the aid of reverse phase liquid chromatography. The hydroxy derivatives were obtained by reducing the hydroperoxides with sodium borohydride. The results of gas chromatography mass spectrometry revealed that hydroxy fatty acid components of the hydroxy derivatives were derived from isomeric hydroperoxides of oleic acid, linoleic acid, arachidonic acid and docosahexanoic acid. Normal phase high performance liquid chromatography did not separate the hydroperoxy and hydroxy derivatives from the respective unoxidized phospholipids, although unoxidized PC and PE were separated from each other. However, the hydroperoxy and hydroxy derivatives could be distinguished from unoxidized phospholipid species on reversed phase thin layer chromatography.

TL;DR: A new antitumor antibiotic, terpentecin was isolated from the culture broth of strain MF730-N6, and prolonged the survival period of mice bearing leukemia L-1210, P388 and Ehrlich ascites carcinoma.
Abstract: A new antitumor antibiotic, terpentecin was isolated from the culture broth of strain MF730-N6. Strain MF730-N6, isolated from soil, was found to belong to the genus Kitasatosporia. The antibiotic was extracted with chloroform, purified by column chromatography using silica gel and Diaion HP-20 successively, and finally purified by high performance reverse-phase thin layer chromatography. The molecular formula of terpentecin was determined to be C20H28O6 (molecular weight, 364). The antibiotic inhibited the growth of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and prolonged the survival period of mice bearing leukemia L-1210, P388 and Ehrlich ascites carcinoma.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A previously suggested close relationship between M. leprae and M. gordonae was not supported because of the homogeneity of the chain lengths of the mycolic acids in each species.
Abstract: The mycolic and fatty acids of three samples each of Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium gordonae were compared. Acids released by whole-organism alkaline hydrolysis were converted to 4-nitrobenzyl esters and mycolic acids were further derivatized to t-butyldimethylsilyl ethers. Thin-layer chromatography of the derivatized long-chain extracts showed that all three M. leprae preparations contained so-called alpha-mycolates and ketomycolates but that the M. gordonae samples had a methoxymycolate in addition to the above types. Silica gel normal-phase high-performance liquid chromatography of the total mycolic acid derivatives confirmed the lack of detectable amounts of methoxymycolates in M. leprae and reverse-phase chromatography of the individual mycolate types demonstrated the homogeneity of the chain lengths of the mycolic acids in each species. Non-hydroxylated fatty acid 4-nitrobenzyl esters were transformed to methyl esters and examined by gas chromatography. Tuberculostearic (10-methyloctadecanoic) acid was a major component of the lipids of all three M. leprae preparations but it was absent in one M. gordonae strain and a very minor component in the other representatives of this latter species. On the basis of fatty and mycolic acid compositions, therefore, a previously suggested close relationship between M. leprae and M. gordonae was not supported.

TL;DR: In this article, soybean seeds were extracted with chloroform-methanol (2:1), methylene chloride-mETHanol (MCL) and hexane-isopropanol (3:2) mixtures, and the seed lipids were then fractionated by column chromatography.
Abstract: Soybean seeds were extracted with chloroform-methanol (2:1), methylene chloride-methanol (2:1) and hexane-isopropanol (3:2) mixtures The seed lipids were then fractionated by column chromatography Neutral lipids were further separated by thin layer chromatography (TLC) and quantified by acid charring method Fatty acid methyl esters were prepared and analyzed by gas liquid chromatography (GLC) Our results show that methylene chloride-methanol (2:1) was as good as chloroform-methanol (2:1) for the extraction of soybean lipids, but hexane-isopropanol (3:2) was somewhat inferior

TL;DR: In this paper, the lipophilicity of 28 modified crown ether derivatives was determined by reversed-phase thin-layer chromatography (RPTLC) using various organic phases and supports, however the quality of the organic phase (methanol, acetone, acetonitrile) and the support characteristics influenced to a small extent the determination.
Abstract: The lipophilicity of 28 modified crown ether derivatives was determined by reversed-phase thin-layer chromatography (RPTLC) using various organic phases and supports. The lipophilicity values determined in different RPTLC systems showed good correlations, however the quality of the organic phase (methanol, acetone, acetonitrile) and the support characteristics influenced to a small extent the determination.

TL;DR: The low molecular weight iron found in the guinea pig reticulocyte has been partially characterized and preparation under nitrogen improves recovery of low molecularWeight iron, suggesting that the iron is in the ferrous oxidation state.
Abstract: The low molecular weight iron found in the guinea pig reticulocyte has been partially characterized. On thin layer chromatography it is distinguishable from the iron complexes of a variety of nucleotides, sugars, and amino acids. On paper chromatography it comigrates with a 250-nm absorbing, orcinol-positive material. The eluted count peak contains phosphorus. Approximately 1 microgram of iron is recovered from 1 ml of hemolyzed red cells. Preparation under nitrogen improves recovery of low molecular weight iron, suggesting that the iron is in the ferrous oxidation state.

TL;DR: After trichloroacetic acid extraction of the walls of alkalophilic Bacillus sp.
Abstract: SUMMARY: After trichloroacetic acid extraction of the walls of alkalophilic Bacillus sp. strain C-125 grown at an alkaline or a neutral pH, two acidic structural polymer fractions were isolated by ionexchange chromatography and gel chromatography. One was a teichuronic acid fraction containing N-acetyl-d-fucosamine, glucuronic acid and galacturonic acid in a molar ratio of 1: 1: 1. This teichuronic acid amounted to 390 μg per mg peptidoglycan in the walls of the bacterium grown at an alkaline pH or 80 μg per mg at a neutral pH. The molecular weight of the teichuronic acid from the cells grown at an alkaline pH was 70000 compared to a molecular weight of 48000 at a neutral pH as estimated by gel chromatography. The other fraction contained glucuronic acid and l-glutamic acid in a molar ratio of 1: 5. This fraction was either a copolymer of both the acids or a mixture of polyglucuronate and polyglutamate. This fraction amounted to 560 μg per mg peptidoglycan in the walls of the bacterium grown at an alkaline pH or 240 μg per mg at a neutral pH. The molecular weight of the fraction from both the wall preparations was about 19000.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, an equilibrium sandwich chamber for continuous thin-layer chromatography was used to study overloaded systems of the heptane + methylene chloride-silica type, and the effect of sample concentration and volume on the maximum separation yield was investigated.
Abstract: An equilibrium sandwich chamber for continuous thinlayer chromatography was used to study overloaded systems of the heptane + methylene chloride-silica type. Mixtures of two or three dyes were used as the model samples. Wide starting zones were formed using a glass distributor (frontal chromatography stage), then the movement of the zones was recorded during continuous elution. The effect of sample concentration and volume on the maximum separation yield was investigated. Band compression effects are illustrated for samples dissolved in solvents having a low eluent strength. Satisfactory analogy was found to separations in preparative column chromatography. Good separation yield was obtained for frontal + elution TLC: depending on the differences in the RF values of the components, 6–16 mg samples were completely separated on 0.5×100×75 mm layers containing ca. 1 g of silica.
