Caco-2 cells were used as a model for investigating and comparing the absorption of alpha-tocopherol (Tol) and alpha-tocopheryl acetate (Tac) solubilized in micelles based on a mixture of sodium taurocholate (NaTC) and oleic acid. Surprisingly, the uptake of Tac was found to be similar to that of Tol, and in both cases, the dose-response plots suggest that protein-mediated transport processes were involved. Moreover Tol or Tac were also secreted into the basolateral medium of Caco-2 cells but Tac was mainly hydrolyzed either prior to absorption or intracellularly. The solubilization of Tol or Tac by NaTC on the apical side of the cell monolayer is a prerequisite for the uptake process, although larger amounts of the bile salt are necessary to solubilize Tac than Tol. Caco-2 cells showed hydrolytic activity on Tac, and additional cholesterol esterase may be taken up by the cells, thus increasing the rates of intracellular hydrolysis of Tac. Based on our findings, a scheme is suggested accounting for the absorption of alpha-tocopheryl acetate by enterocytes. 相似文献

24S-Hydroxycholesterol (24S-OH-Chol) and 27-hydroxycholesterol (27-OH-Chol) are oxidized derivatives of cholesterol and of potential diagnostic interest because their circulating levels may reflect the cholesterol metabolism of the brain and macrophages, respectively. We developed a sensitive and specific HPLC-MS method for the quantification of 24S-OH-Chol and 27-OH-Chol in human plasma. In contrast to currently available procedures based on gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, this methodology offers the advantage that no time-consuming derivatization is needed. After saponification, solid-phase extraction, and HPLC separation under reversed-phase column conditions, detection by MS was performed using atmospheric pressure chemical ionization and selected ion monitoring mode. The standard curves were linear throughout the calibration range for both oxysterols. Within-day and between-day coefficients of variation were less than 9%, and the recoveries ranged between 98% and 103%. The quantification limits were 40 and 25 microg/l for 24S-OH-Chol and 27-OH-Chol, respectively. Mean values for both oxysterols were determined in plasma from 22 healthy volunteers. The sensitive and selective HPLC-MS method described here combined with the appropriate workup procedure allow the quantification of 24S-OH-Chol and 27-OH-Chol in plasma samples, for example in clinical studies to elaborate the clinical usefulness of these two oxysterols. 相似文献

A gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method was developed for the quantitative analysis of free amino acids as their propyl chloroformate derivatives in biological fluids. Derivatization with propyl chloroformate is carried out directly in the biological samples without prior protein precipitation or solid-phase extraction of the amino acids, thereby allowing automation of the entire procedure, including addition of reagents, extraction and injection into the GC-MS. The total analysis time was 30 min and 30 amino acids could be reliably quantified using 19 stable isotope-labeled amino acids as internal standards. Limits of detection (LOD) and lower limits of quantification (LLOQ) were in the range of 0.03-12 microM and 0.3-30 microM, respectively. The method was validated using a certified amino acid standard and reference plasma, and its applicability to different biological fluids was shown. Intra-day precision for the analysis of human urine, blood plasma, and cell culture medium was 2.0-8.8%, 0.9-8.3%, and 2.0-14.3%, respectively, while the inter-day precision for human urine was 1.5-14.1%. 相似文献

The validation of a pre-column derivatization procedure with 6-aminoquinolyl-N-hydroxysuccinimidyl carbamate (AQC) to the determination of the amino acid content by RP-HPLC with fluorescence detection (lambda excitation 250 nm, lambda emission 395 nm) in milk-cereal based infant foods was carried out. The analytical parameters: linearity (0.0025-0.2mM), precision of the method (0.2-3.5% variation coefficients), accuracy (derivatization: 86-106% average recovery and method: 88.3-118.2% average recovery) and the limits of detection (0.016-0.367 microM) and quantification (0.044-1.073 microM) were determined. Glutamic acid, proline and leucine were the most abundant amino acid whereas the lowest contents corresponded to tyrosine and cysteine. 相似文献

In vitro phase I metabolism of BYZX, a novel central-acting cholinesterase inhibitor for the treatment of the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, was studied in human liver microsomes (HLM) and the metabolite formation pathways were investigated by chemical inhibition experiments and correlation analysis. The residual concentration of substrate and the metabolite formed in incubate were determined by HPLC method. The calibration curves of BYZX were linear over the concentration range from 5.07 microM to 200.74 microM. The relative standard deviations of within day and between day were less than 5% (n=5). The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.18 microg/mL (S/N=3) and the limit of quantification (LOQ) was 0.55 microg/mL (R.S.D.=5.2%, n=5). The determination recoveries of BYZX were in the range of 98.2-104.8%. The apparent K(m) of BYZX in HLM was 53.25+/-17.2 microM, the V(max) was 0.94+/-0.77 microM/min/mg protein, and the intrinsic clearance value (Cl(int)) was 0.018+/-0.02 mL/min/mg protein. Ketoconazole and cyclosporin A were the most potent inhibitors on BYZX metabolism in HLM with IC(50) being 0.89 microM and 18.17 microM, respectively. And the inhibition constant (K(i)) of ketoconazole was 0.42 microM. The metabolite of BYZX was N-des-ethyl-BYZX elucidated by LC-MS-MS. The results demonstrated that the developed HPLC method was reliability, simple technique, and was applicable to be used for the researches of in vitro metabolism of BYZX. CYP3A4 was the major isozyme responsible for BYZX metabolism; N-dealkylation was the major metabolic pathway of BYZX. The predominant metabolite of BYZX was N-des-ethyl-BYZX detected in vitro phase I metabolism in HLM. 相似文献

A bioanalytical method for the determination of piperaquine in 100 microL blood applied onto sampling paper, by solid-phase extraction and liquid chromatography, has been developed and validated. Blood spots were cut into small pieces prior to addition of 0.3M perchloric acid, acetonitrile and phosphate buffer containing an internal standard. The liquid phase was loaded onto a mixed phase cation-exchange (MPC) solid-phase extraction column. Piperaquine and the internal standard were analysed by liquid chromatography and separated on a Chromolith Performance (100 mm x 4.6 mm) column with acetonitrile:phosphate buffer pH 2.5, I = 0.1 (8:92, v/v) at the flow of 3.5 mL/min. The UV detection was performed at 345 nm. The intra-assay precision was 12.0% at 0.150 microM, 7.3% at 1.25 microM and 7.3% at 2.25 microM. The inter-assay precision was 1.8% at 0.150 microM, 5.2% at 1.25 microM and 2.8% at 2.25 microM. The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) was determined to 0.050 microM where the precision was 14.7%. 相似文献

An isocratic HPLC charged aerosol detector (CAD) method was developed, validated, and applied for the determination of individual bile acids in human gastric and duodenal aspirates. The method requires a low volume of aspirates (50-100 microl) and minimal sample pretreatment. A Hypersil BDS RP-C(18) column (250 x 4.6 mm, 5 microm particle size) was equilibrated with a mobile phase composed of methanol-[ammoniun formate 20 mM, formic acid 0.5%, triethylamine 0.2% (pH 3)] 67:33 v/v. Its flow rate was 1 ml/min. The elution times for taurocholate, glycocholate, taurochenodeoxycholate, ursodeoxycholate, glycochenodeoxycholate, cholate, and glycodeoxycholate were approximately 9.9, 16.2, 18.2, 21.3, 31.6, 34.5, and 38.5 min, respectively. Calibration curves in the mobile phase were constructed in the concentration range of 0.5-500 microM. Limits of detection and quantification were in the range of 0.07-0.60 microM and 0.20-1.80 microM, respectively. This method was applied first, in gastric aspirates collected in the fasted state, in which bile acid presence is minimal and, second, in duodenal aspirates collected in the fed state, in which a large number of potentially interfering compounds exists. Intra-day relative standard deviation in fasted gastric aspirates and in fed duodenal aspirates was less than 2.2% and 6.0%, respectively. 相似文献

The composition of mixed micelles of egg phosphatidylcholine (PC) and octyl glucoside was studied by a novel technique based on measuring resonance energy-transfer efficiency between two fluorescent lipid probes present in trace amounts. Equations were derived for calculating the stoichiometry of the composition of mixed micelles from the energy-transfer measurements. These were applied to determining the average number of lipid molecules in the octyl glucoside-egg PC mixed micelle as a function of detergent concentration. The average number of detergent molecules in these mixed micelles was independent of lipid concentration in the range studied (0-500 microM). The dependence of mixed micelle stoichiometry on the concentration of aqueous (monomeric) octyl glucoside is consistent with the assumptions of ideal mixing of the two amphiphiles in the mixed micelles and that mixed micelles can be treated as a distinct phase. 相似文献

Activation of protein kinase C by Triton X-100 mixed micelles containing diacylglycerol and phosphatidylserine 总被引:30,自引:0,他引:30
A mixed micellar assay for protein kinase C was developed to investigate the specificity and stoichiometry of activation by phospholipids and diacylglycerols. Triton X-100 mixed micelles containing 8 mol % phosphatidylserine (PS) and 2.5 mol % sn-1,2-dioleoylglycerol (diC18:1) activated rat brain protein kinase C in the presence of Ca2+ to the same degree as sonicated PS/diC18:1 did in the standard assay. However, protein kinase C activity was more responsive to diC18:1 in the mixed micellar assay than the standard assay. At 8 mol % PS and 100 microM Ca2+, diC18:1 stimulated maximally at 1 mol %. At 2.5 mol % diC18:1 and 100 microM Ca2+, PS did not activate until 3 mol % and then did so cooperatively with maximal stimulation occurring at 6-8 mol %. Direct evidence for a Ca2+-, PS-, and diC18:1-dependent interaction of protein kinase C with mixed micelles was obtained by molecular sieve chromatography on Sephacryl S-200. These data permit inferences pertaining to the number of diC18:1 and PS molecules/micelle which are required for activation. For diC18:1, a single molecule may be sufficient but no more than 2 molecules are required. For PS, greater than 4 but less than 10 molecules are required. These data establish that a phospholipid bilayer is not required for protein kinase C activation and that activation of monomeric protein kinase C occurs. 相似文献

High-performance liquid chromatographic assays for the O- and N-demethylated oxidative metabolites of hydrocodone and oxycodone formed in human liver microsomes are described. A solvent-solvent extraction/re-extraction procedure followed by reversed-phase HPLC with UV detection at 210 nm allows for the quantification of hydromorphone, norhydrocodone, oxymorphone and noroxycodone. Calibration curve concentration ranges were 0.63-400 microM (0.18-114 microg/ml) and 1.25-400 microM (0.36-114 microg/ml) for hydromorphone and norhydrocodone, respectively and 0.13-20 microM (0.04-6.03 microg/ml) and 1-200 microM (0.30-60 microg/ml) for oxymorphone and noroxycodone, respectively. Assay performance was determined by intra- and inter-assay precision and inaccuracies for quality control samples and was <15% for all metabolites at each quality control concentration. These methods provide good precision, accuracy and sensitivity for use in in vitro kinetic studies investigating the oxidative metabolism of hydrocodone and oxycodone in human liver microsomes. 相似文献

A real-time, sensitive, and simple assay for detection and quantification of adenosine triphosphate sulfurylase (ATP:sulfate adenylytransferase, EC 2.7.7.4) activity has been developed. The method is based on detection of ATP generated in the ATP sulfurylase reaction between APS and PPi by the firefly luciferase system. For the Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATP sulfurylase, the concentrations of APS and PPi at the half-maximal rate were found to be about 0.5 and 7 microM, respectively. The assay is sensitive and yields linear response between 0.1 microU and 50 mU. The method can be used for monitoring and quantification of recombinant ATP sulfurylase activity in Escherichia coli lysate, as well as for detection of the activity during different purification procedures. 相似文献

Fuel contamination of soils display complex and variable hydrocarbon mixtures with different volatility and toxicity characteristics. A recently suggested headspace procedure for the structure-based quantification of volatile hydrocarbons is evaluated regarding repeatability, reproducibility, and practical robustness. Three aliphatic and three aromatic fractions covering the boiling range between 69 and 216°C were defined as summation parameters by their respective equivalent carbon number ranges. A standard mixture of 35 aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons was used for calibration on basis of selected mass fragments specific for the aliphatics and aromatics, respectively. Two standard soils were fortified with the standard mixture or different fuels, respectively, and submitted to the analytical procedure. Limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were for all fractions lower than 0.1 and 0.3 mg/kg, respectively. Analyte recovery was linear up to between 20 and 110 mg hydrocarbons/kg soil depending on the fraction. Hydrocarbon recovery ranged between 80% and 110% depending on the fraction and the repeatability was typically better than 10%. Finally, the impact of extraction solvent variation, column solid-phase polarity, and alternative summation of fractions were investigated. The procedure was applied to liner samples taken from a site contaminated with aviation fuel and its practicability is discussed. 相似文献

A new analytical method for vigabatrin based on capillary electrophoretic separation and laser-induced fluorescence detection has been developed. 5-Carboxytetramethylrhodamine succinimidyl ester was used for precolumn derivatization of the non-fluorescent drug. Optimal separation and detection were obtained with an electrophoretic buffer of 50 mM sodium borate (pH9.5) containing 10 mM sodium dodecyl sulfate and a green He-Ne laser (excitation at 543.5 nm, emission at 589 nm). The concentration limit of detection in aqueous solution was 24 nM. Combined with a simple cleanup procedure, this method can be applied to the determination of vigabatrin in human plasma. A calibration curve ranging from 1.5 to 200 microM shown to be linear. Both the within-day and day-to-day reproducibilities and accuracies were less then 14.3% and 4.9% respectively. The limit of detection of vigabatrin in plasma was about 0.13 microM 相似文献

A miniaturized temperature-programmed packed capillary liquid chromatographic method with on-column large volume injection and UV detection for the simultaneous determination of the three selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors citalopram, fluoxetine, paroxetine and their metabolites in plasma is presented. An established reversed-phase C8 solid-phase extraction method was employed, and the separation was carried out on a 3.5-microm Kromasil C18 0.32x300 mm column with temperature-programming from 35 (3 min) to 100 degrees C (10 min) at 1.3 degrees C/min. The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-45 mM ammonium formate (pH 4.00) (25:75, v/v). The non-eluting sample focusing solvent composition acetonitrile-45 mM ammonium formate (pH 4.00) (3:97, v/v) allowed injection of 10 microl or more of the plasma extracts. The method was validated for the concentration range 0.05-5.0 microM, and the calibration curves were linear with coefficients of correlation >0.993. The limits of quantification for the antidepressants and their metabolites ranged from 0.05 to 0.26 microM. The within and between assay precision of relative peak height were in the range 2-22 and 2-15% relative standard deviation, respectively. The within and between assay recoveries were in the 61-99 and 54-92% range for the antidepressants, respectively, and between 52-102 and 51-102% for the metabolites. 相似文献

A sensitive, reproducible, and rapid analytical method for the analysis of trace-level heterocyclic amines (HCAs) that are expected to have high levels of human exposure was developed. Liquid–liquid extraction (LLE) with dichloromethane (DCM) followed by solid-phase extraction (SPE) was carried out. Liquid extraction with DCM under basic conditions was efficient in extracting HCAs from urine samples. For further purification, mixed mode cationic exchange (MCX) cartridges were applied to eliminate the remaining interferences after liquid extraction. Separation and quantification were performed by liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) in selected reaction monitoring (SRM) mode. The overall recoveries ranged between 71.0% and 113.6% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) of 5.1% to 14.7% for the entire procedure. The limits of detection (LODs) and limits of quantification (LOQs) of the proposed analytical method were in the ranges of 0.04 to 0.10 ng/ml and 0.15 to 0.36 ng/ml, respectively. This method was applied to the analysis of monitoring in urine samples for Korean school children, and the results demonstrated that the method can be used for the trace determination of HCAs in urine samples. 相似文献

Simultaneous quantification of sialyloligosaccharides from human milk by capillary electrophoresis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The acidic oligosaccharides of human milk are predominantly sialyloligosaccharides. Pathogens that bind sialic acid-containing glycans on their host mucosal surfaces may be inhibited by human milk sialyloligosaccharides, but testing this hypothesis requires their reliable quantification in milk. Sialyloligosaccharides have been quantified by anion exchange high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), reverse- or normal-phase HPLC, and capillary electrophoresis (CE) of fluorescent derivatives; in milk, these oligosaccharides have been analyzed by high pH anion exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection and, in our laboratory, by CE with detection at 205nm. The novel method described here uses a running buffer of aqueous 200mM NaH2PO4 (pH 7.05) containing 100mM sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) mixed with 45% (v/v) methanol to baseline resolve 5 oligosaccharides and separate all 12. This allows automated simultaneous quantification of the 12 major sialyloligosaccharides of human milk in a single 35-min run. This method revealed differences in sialyloligosaccharide concentrations between less and more mature milk from the same donors. Individual donors also varied in expression of sialyloligosaccharides in their milk. Thus, the facile quantification of sialyloligosaccharides by this method is suitable for measuring variation in expression of specific sialyloligosaccharides in milk and their relationship to decreased risk of specific diseases in infants. 相似文献

A simple, selective and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatographic method with spectrophotometric detection was developed for the determination of antihyperglycemic agent metformin in human plasma using a novel sample extraction procedure. Liquid-liquid extraction of metformin and ranitidine (as internal standard) from plasma samples was performed with 1-butanol/n-hexane (50:50, v/v) in alkaline condition followed by back-extraction into diluted acetic acid. Chromatography was carried out using a silica column (250 mmx4.6 mm, 5 microm) under isocratic elution with acetonitrile-40 mM aqueous sodium dihydrogen phosphate (25:75, v/v), pH 6. The limit of quantification (LOQ) was 15.6 ng/ml and the calibration curves were linear up to 2000 ng/ml. The mean absolute recoveries for metformin and internal standard using the present extraction procedure were 98 and 95%, respectively. The intra- and inter-day coefficient of variation and percent error values of the assay method were all less than 8.3%. 相似文献

Extraction of control human spleen glucocerebrosidase with sodium cholate and butan-l-ol reversibly inactivates the enzyme in terms of its ability to hydrolyse the water-soluble substrate 4-methylumbelliferyl beta-D-glucopyranoside (MUGlc). The acidic brain lipid galactocerebroside 3-sulphate (sulphatide) reconstitutes beta-glucosidase activity in a strongly concentration-dependent manner. In this study we show that sulphatide exhibits three critical micellar concentrations (CMCs): CMC1, 3.72 microM; CMC2, 22.6 microM; CMC3, 60.7 microM. We designate the aggregates formed at these CMCs as primary, secondary and tertiary micelles respectively. From the results of kinetic studies performed at various sulphatide concentrations (0.012-248 microM), we found that sulphatide monomers (less than 3 microM) decreased the Km (for MUGlc) of control glucocerebrosidase from 11 to 4.6 mM, and lowered the Vmax. 2-fold. However, secondary and tertiary micelles were required for expression of high control glucocerebrosidase activities. Glucocerebrosidase prepared from the spleen of a patient with non-neuronopathic type 1 Gaucher's disease exhibited a very low Km (2.8 mM) even in the absence of exogenous lipid, and sulphatide monomers had no effect on the mutant enzyme's Km or Vmax. However, secondary or tertiary micelles markedly increased the Vmax. of the type 1 glucocerebrosidase to 60% of the corresponding control enzyme value. In contrast, for the glucocerebrosidase of the neuronopathic type 2 case, although sulphatide decreased the Km from 9.2 to 1.7 mM, the Vmax. never reached more than 5% that of the control enzyme, even at high concentrations of sulphatide. In addition, we found that secondary and tertiary sulphatide micelles enhanced the rate of inactivation of all three glucocerebrosidase preparations by chymotrypsin. Collectively, these results indicate the presence of two sulphatide-binding sites on glucocerebrosidase: one that enhances substrate binding, and another that enhances catalysis. 相似文献

A simple method for detecting micellar binding of Triton X-100 to amphiphilic proteins is described. The hydrophobic dye Sudan Black B is incorporated into Triton micelles. Binding of the coloured micelles to serum apoliproteins, as well as to amphiphilic proteins, of erythrocyte and fat globule membranes renders these visible as dark bands after sucrose density gradient centrifugation. In contrast, the hydrophilic proteins present in lipoprotein-free serum do not show detergent binding. The method does not permit accurate quantification of detergent binding, but may serve as a pilot procedure for initial detection of amphiphilic proteins and for monitoring their isolation from crude solubilized membrane material. The sensitivity of the assay corresponds to that obtained with [3H]Triton X-100. 相似文献

A simple liquid chromatographic method was developed for the simultaneous determination of flavonoids from Orthosiphon stamineus Benth, namely sinensitin, eupatorin and 3'-hydroxy-5,6,7,4'-tetramethoxyflavone, in plasma. Prior to analysis, the flavonoids and the internal standard (naproxen) were extracted from plasma samples using a 1:1 mixture of ethyl acetate and chloroform. The detection and quantification limits for the three flavonoids were similar being 3 and 5 ng/ml, respectively. The within-day and between-day accuracy values, expressed as percentage of true values, for the three flavonoids were between 95 and 107%, while the corresponding precision, expressed as coefficients of variation, for the three flavonoids were less than 14%. In addition, the mean recovery values of the extraction procedure for all the flavonoids were between 92 and 114%. The calibration curves were linear over a concentration range of 5-4000 ng/ml. The present method was applied to analyse plasma samples obtained from a pilot study using rats in which the mean absolute oral bioavailability values for sinensitin, eupatorin and 3'-hydroxy-5,6,7,4'-tetramethoxyflavone was 9.4, 1.0 and 1.5%, respectively. 相似文献
