Abstract
Amino acids normally have a chiral carbon and d/l-enantiomers are present. Due to the homochirality features on the present Earth, l-enantiomers are predominant in the living beings and the d-enantiomers are rare. Along with the progress and development of cutting edge analytical methods, several d-amino acids were found even in the higher animals including humans, and their biological functions and diagnostic values have also been reported. However, the amounts of these d-amino acids are much lower than the l-forms, and development/utilization of highly sensitive and selective methods are practically essential to avoid the disturbance from uncountable intrinsic substances. In the present review, multi-dimensional HPLC methods for the determination of chiral amino acids, especially two-dimensional LC-MS/MS and three-dimensional LC methods, and their applications to a variety of real-world matrices are summarized.

Abstract
Discrimination and quantification of amino acid (AA) enantiomers are particularly important for diagnosing and treating diseases. Recently, dual-mode probes have gained a lot of research interest because they can catch more detecting information compared with the single-mode probes. Thus, it is of great significance to develop a dual-mode sensor realizing AA enantiomer discrimination conveniently and efficiently. In this work, carbon dot L-TCDs were prepared by N-methyl-1,2-benzenediamine dihydrochloride (OTD) and l-tryptophan. With the assistance of H2O2, L-TCDs show an excellent discrimination performance for enantiomers of glutamine (Gln) and valine (Val) in both fluorescent and colorimetric modes. The fluorescence enantioselectivity of Gln (FD/FL) and Val (FL/FD) is 5.29 and 4.13, respectively, and the colorimetric enantioselectivity of Gln (ID/IL) and Val (IL/ID) is 13.26 and 3.42, individually. The chiral recognition mechanism of L-TCDs was systematically studied. L-TCDs can be etched by H2O2, and the participation of AA enantiomers results in different amounts of the released OTD, which provides fluorescent and colorimetric signals for identifying and quantifying the enantiomers of Gln and Val. This work provides a more convenient and flexible dual-mode sensing strategy for discriminating AA enantiomers, which is expected to be of great value in facile and high-throughput chiral recognition.

Enantiomeric purity analysis of synthetic peptide therapeutics by direct chiral high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry.

[PMID: 36857849 DOI: 10.1016/j.jchromb.2023.123638] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2022] [Revised: 02/01/2023] [Accepted: 02/13/2023] [Indexed: 02/19/2023]
Abstract
The determination of chiral purity is critical to the evaluation of the quality of peptide pharmaceutical products. For synthetic peptides, the undesirable d-isomers can be introduced as impurities in amino acid starting materials and can also be formed during peptide synthesis and in some cases during product shelf life. A chiral high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS/MS) method is described that facilitates rapid and accurate determination of amino acid chiral purity of a peptide. The peptide is hydrolyzed in deuterated acid to facilitate correction for any racemization occurring during this step of sample preparation, and the amino acids are subsequently separated by chiral chromatography interfaced with ESI-MS/MS for quantitation. The amino acid samples are analyzed directly following hydrolysis using high-low chromatography and extraction of selected ion response, providing efficiency and simplicity by avoiding the derivatization steps and multiple external standards required by traditional methodologies. GMP method validation feasibility is described for all nineteen chiral proteogenic amino acids. The practical application of the chiral HPLC-ESI-MS/MS method was demonstrated through the recovery of d-amino acid substitutions at each residue of an octapeptide across the 0.1-1.0 % range of interest. The method was applied to the analysis of four model peptides, each consisting of 8-14 amino acid residues, and the results were comparable to those provided by traditional testing methods.

Abstract
A novel chiral covalent organic framework (CCOF) was synthesized with an imine covalent organic framework TpBD (synthesized via Schiff-base reaction between phloroglucinol (Tp) and benzidine (BD)) modified using (1S)-(+)-10-camphorsulfonyl chloride as chiral ligand by chemical bonding method for the first time, and was characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectra, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption/desorption, thermogravimetry analysis, and zeta-potential. The results revealed that the CCOF had good crystallinity, high specific surface area and good thermal stability. Then, the CCOF was employed as stationary phase in open-tubular capillary electrochromatography (OT-CEC) column (the CCOF-bonded OT-CEC column) for enantioseparation of 21 single chiral compounds (12 natural amino acids including acidic, neutral and basic, 9 pesticides including herbicides, insecticides and fungicides) and simultaneous enantioseparation of mixture amino acids and pesticides with similar structures or properties. Under the optimized CEC conditions, all the analytes reached the baseline separation with high resolutions of 1.67-25.93 and selectivity factors of 1.06-3.49 in 8 min. Finally, the reproducibility and stability of the CCOF-bonded OT-CEC column were measured. Relative standard deviations (RSDs) of retention time and separation efficiency were 0.58-4.57% and 1.85-4.98%, and not obviously changed after 150 runs. These results demonstrate that COFs-modified OT-CEC explore a promising method to separate chiral compounds.

Abstract
Under the guideline issued by Food and Drug Administration (FDA), ANDAs for Certain Highly Purified Synthetic Peptide Drug Products That Refer to Listed Drugs of rDNA Origin Guidance for Industry, a synthetic Semaglutide that is intended to be a "generic" of the approved rDNA origin Semaglutide is under exploring. Thus, each peptide-related impurity that is 0.10% of the drug substance or greater need to be identified for Semaglutide covered by this guidance. Among others, characterization of the low-level D-amino acid (D form) isomeric impurities are always the most challenging ones. Reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-UPLC) was used to separate the impurities, followed by high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) to determine the molecular weight of the impurities that existed in both formulations. Following the targeted D form isomers off-line collection, the samples went through lyophilization, deuterated hydrochloric acid (D-HCl) hydrolyzation with low level D/L form shifting suppression substrates, chiral derivatization and RP-UPLC tandem mass spectrometry analysis of different amino acids by comparing with standards. Herein, we reported an accurate, straightforward characterization method with low limit of detection for the low-level D-Ser8, D-His1 and D-Asp9 Semaglutide impurities in Semaglutide formulations. The developed UPLC tandem HRMS method entails a valuable step forward in the detection of trace levels of the D-isomers of Semaglutide and other peptide products.

Abstract
Like many biological compounds, proteins are found primarily in their homochiral form. However, homochirality is not guaranteed throughout life. Determining their chiral proteinogenic sequence is a complex analytical challenge. This is because certain d-amino acids contained in proteins play a role in human health and disease. This is the case, for example, with d-Asp in elastin, β-amyloid and α-crystallin which, respectively, have an action on arteriosclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease and cataracts. Sequence-dependent and sequence-independent are the two strategies for detecting the presence and position of d-amino acids in proteins. These methods rely on enzymatic digestion by a site-specific enzyme and acid hydrolysis in a deuterium or tritium environment to limit the natural racemization of amino acids. In this review, chromatographic and electrophoretic techniques, such as LC, SFC, GC and CE, will be recently developed (2018–2020) for the enantioseparation of amino acids and peptides. For future work, the discovery and development of new chiral stationary phases and derivatization reagents could increase the resolution of chiral separations.

Abstract
A novel synthesis of C(2)-modified peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) is proposed, using a submonomeric strategy with minimally protected building blocks, which allowed a reduction in the required synthetic steps. N(3)-unprotected, d-Lys- and d-Arg-based backbones were used to obtain positively charged PNAs with high optical purity, as inferred from chiral GC measurements. "Chiral-box" PNAs targeting the G12D point mutation of the KRAS gene were produced using this method, showing improved sequence selectivity for the mutated- vs wild-type DNA strand with respect to unmodified PNAs.

Abstract
A two-dimensional (2D) HPLC system focusing on the determination of phenylalanine (Phe) enantiomers in mammalian physiological fluids has been developed. ᴅ-Phe is indicated to have potential values as a disease biomarker and therapeutic molecule in several neuronal and metabolic disorders, thus the regulation of ᴅ-Phe in mammals is a matter of interest. However, the precise determination of amino acid enantiomers is difficult in complex biological samples, and the development of an analytical method with practically acceptable sensitivity, selectivity and throughput is expected. In the present study, a 2D-HPLC system equipped with a reversed-phase column in the 1st dimension and an enantioselective column in the 2nd dimension has been designed, following the fluorescence derivatization of the target amino acid enantiomers with 4-fluoro-7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD-F). The analytical method was validated using both plasma and urine samples, and successfully applied to human, rat and mouse fluids. Trace levels of ᴅ-Phe were determined in the plasma, and the %ᴅ values were around 0.1% for all species. In the urine, relatively large amounts of ᴅ-Phe were observed, and the %ᴅ values for humans, rats and mice were 3.99, 1.76 and 5.25%, respectively. The relationships between the enzymatic activity of ᴅ-amino acid oxidase (DAO) and the amounts of intrinsic ᴅ-Phe have also been clarified, and high ᴅ-Phe amounts were observed (around 0.3% in the plasma and around 50% in the urine) in the DAO deficient rats and mice.

Abstract
Most HPLC enantiomer separations are performed with columns packed with a chiral stationary phase (CSP) operated with an achiral mobile phase. The intrinsically limited chemical selectivity of most CSPs to the simultaneous resolution of several pairs of enantiomers means that complex mixtures of diverse pairs of enantiomers cannot be resolved in a single run due to peak overlapping. Moreover, some drawbacks remain when the analyte is present in very complex samples containing other achiral compounds which can co-elute with the enantiomer peaks. Multidimensional chromatography becomes an option to increase peak capacity and resolve these samples. The aim of this work was to study an online fully comprehensive 2D-LC mode utilizing a combination of a chiral column in the first dimension and an achiral column in the second dimension. The 2D-LC system was built with an active flow splitter pump in order to easily adjust the volume of sample transferred into the second dimension and to independently optimize the flow rate in the first dimension. The present LCxLC method was optimized for the separation of amino acids present in honey samples, taking into account key parameters that influence the bidimensional peak capacity (orthogonality, sampling frequency, etc.). The amino acids have been preconcentrated on a cation-exchange column followed by derivatization. Several amino acids present in different honey samples have been identified and the data generated has been analyzed by principal component analysis.

Abstract
D-Amino acids are important biological molecules. Improved analytical methods for their resolution and quantification remain of keen interest. In this study, we investigated the use of Marfey's reagent (chiral) derivatization coupled with LC-MS/MS-based separation and detection of the resulting diastereomers for quantification of the 19 common L- and D-amino acids and glycine. Standard formic acid (pH 2)-based separations on reverse phase media were unable to separate all 19 amino acid DL pairs. In contrast, a water/acetonitrile/ammonium acetate (pH 6.5) solvent system allowed all 19 amino acid DL pairs to be chromatographically resolved on a 30 min gradient, with negative mode detection at pH 6.5 giving good sensitivity. Derivatization reaction rates between amino acids varied substantially, with overnight derivatization required for some amino acids. Chromatography at pH 6.5 combined with MS/MS quantification in negative mode demonstrated good linearity over a wide concentration range for all 20 amino acids. Matrix effects, assessed with an MRSA extract, were negligible. Marfey's derivatized analytes were stable for 24 h at room temperature. This method was demonstrated by determining the levels of these analytes in mid-log phase MRSA extracts. This approach provides for the chromatographic resolution and MS/MS-based quantification of all 20 common L- and D-amino acids in complex matrices. Graphical Abstract.

Abstract
![]()
A novel analytical
method based on hybrid trapped ion mobility
spectrometry-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TIMS-TOFMS) has been
developed to achieve fast enantiomeric separation of amino acids (AAs).
Resolution of chiral AAs was achieved by forming diastereomers through
derivatization with the chiral agent (+)-1-(9-fluorenyl)ethyl chloroformate
(FLEC), avoiding the use of reference compounds. Electrospray ionization
(ESI) in positive mode yielded sodiated FLEC-AAs ions of which the
diastereomers could be separated by TIMS. The effect of other alkali
metal ions (such as Li and K) on the enantioselectivity was studied,
but chiral discrimination was only observed for Na. TIMS conditions,
including voltage ramp, ramp time, and accumulation time were optimized
for each AA, and collision cross sections (CCSs) were determined for
all diastereomers. The migration order of the DL enantiomers was found
to be dependent on the structure of the AA. The resulting TIMS resolution
(K0/ΔK0) for the FLEC-AA diastereomers on average was 115, requiring
a mobility (K0) difference of about 0.009 cm2/(V s) to
achieve 50%-valley separation. From the 21 AAs studied, enantiomer
separation was achieved for 17 AAs with mobility differences ranging
from 0.009 for lysine up to 0.061 cm2/(V s) for asparagine.
Moreover, the presented methodology provided mutual separation of
various AAs, allowing chiral analysis of multiple AAs simultaneously
which may be challenging with previous enantioselective IMS approaches.
It appeared possible to fully resolve all studied DL-AAs using three
distinct TIMS methods, resulting in a total MS run time of about 3
min (1 min per method) and a total analysis time (including derivatization)
of less than 15 min. The method demonstrated capable to determine
enantiomeric ratios down to 2.5% with detection limits for the D enantiomers
in the nanomolar range. This new TIMS-based methodology opens up possibilities
for easy and fast analysis of AA enantiomers.

Abstract
An enantiomeric separation method for underivatized free amino acids (AAs) using a partial filling technique with CE-MS was developed for the determination of D-AAs in vinegars. A typical chiral separation method was performed with different concentrations of (18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid (18C6H4) dissolved in water or formic acid as the background electrolyte. Seventeen AAs, excluding proline and asparagine, were separated, showing chiral resolution values (Rs) ranging from 0.5 to 21.0. These results included baseline separations of 11 AAs, the peaks of which were observed as the ions [AA+18C6H4+H]+. The migration order of the chiral AAs was also evaluated, and the L-AAs migrated faster than the counterpart D-AAs except for serine, threonine and methionine when using (+)-18C6H4. To reduce contamination of the ESI source by the nonvolatile chiral selector and improve the ionization efficiency in partial filling technique, the separation zone length was adjusted to 70% of the capillary, which was filled with 30 mM 18C6H4 in water. This method showed a similar separation efficiency as the typical method, and the separated AA peaks were observed as free AA ions, [AA+H]+. The optimized method provided limits of detection (LODs) ranging from 0.07 to 1.03 μg/mL and good linearity (R2 > 0.99) up to 50 μg/mL for DL-AAs. The developed method was utilized to determine DL-AAs in vinegars with a simple pretreatment process. It may be extended to sensitive AA analysis in the determination of minor enantiomeric impurities in the major component.

Abstract
Many kinds of NAD(P)+-dependent L-amino acid dehydrogenases have been so far found and effectively used for synthesis of L-amino acids and their analogs, and for their sensing. By contrast, similar biotechnological use of D-amino acid dehydrogenase (D-AADH) has not been achieved because useful D-AADH has not been found from natural resources. Recently, using protein engineering methods, an NADP+-dependent D-AADH was created from meso-diaminopimelate dehydrogenase (meso-DAPDH). The artificially created D-AADH catalyzed the reversible NADP+-dependent oxidative deamination of D-amino acids to 2-oxo acids. The enzyme, especially thermostable one from thermophiles, was efficiently applicable to synthesis of D-branched-chain amino acids (D-BCAAs), with high yields and optical purity, and was useful for the practical synthesis of 13C- and/or 15N-labeled D-BCAAs. The enzyme also made it possible to assay D-isoleucine selectively in a mixture of isoleucine isomers. Analyses of the three-dimensional structures of meso-DAPDH and D-AADH, and designed mutations based on the information obtained made it possible to markedly enhance enzyme activity and to create D-AADH homologs with desired reactivity profiles. The methods described here may be an effective approach to artificial creation of biotechnologically useful enzymes.

Abstract
A multiple heartcut (MHC) 2D-UHPLC method with UV detection has been developed for the enantioselective analysis of complex amino acid mixtures in a single run. The MHC method is based on an achiral gradient RPLC separation with 1.8 μm C18 phase (100 × 2.1 mm ID column) in the first dimension (1D) and enantioselective isocratic separation on a tert-butylcarbamoylquinine-based 2.7 μm Coreshell particle column (50 × 3 mm ID) in the second dimension (2D). Pre-column derivatization has been performed with Sanger's reagent (2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene) yielding chromogenic 2,4-dinitrophenylated amino acids (DNP-AAs). Heartcuts of 40 μL fractions of the 1D peaks were sampled into the 2D system via a two-position four-port dual valve connected to two loop decks each equipped with six 40 μL parking loops. Using this setup, 25 amino acids (20 proteinogenic plus allo-Thr, allo-Ile, homoserine (Hse), Orn, β-Ala) have been analyzed enantioselectively in a fully automated manner with a single chiral column within 130 min total run time (1D and 2D). All 2D separations together took 101.5 min (29 cuts with 3.5 min run time each) and thus the total analysis time was quite efficiently utilized. Faster separations were restricted by some software constraints which did not allow to adjust run times in 2D individually. The practical utility of this enantioselective MHC method is documented by application for the absolute configuration determination of the amino acids in gramicidin and bacitracin. Further optimizations should lead to a generic enantioselective amino acid analyzer for the quality control of synthetic peptides and the structural characterization of non-ribosomal peptides.

Abstract
More than half of all pharmaceuticals are chiral compounds. Although the enantiomers of chiral compounds have the same chemical structure, they can exhibit marked differences in physiological activity; therefore, it is important to remove the undesirable enantiomer. Chromatographic separation of chiral enantiomers is one of the best available methods to get enantio-pure substances, but the optimization of the experimental conditions can be very time-consuming. One of the most widely used chiral stationary phases, amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenyl carbamate) (ADMPC), has been extensively investigated using both experimental and computational methods; however, the dynamic nature of the interaction between enantiomers and ADMPC, as well as the solvent effects on the ADMPC-enantiomer interaction, are currently absent from models of the chiral recognition mechanism. Here we use QM/MM and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to model the enantiomers of flavanone on ADMPC in either methanol or heptane/2-propanol (IPA) (90/10) to elucidate the chiral recognition mechanism from a new dynamic perspective. In atomistic MD simulations, the 12-mer model of ADMPC is found to hold the 4/3 left-handed helical structure in both methanol and heptane/IPA (90/10); however, the ADMPC polymer is found to have a more extended average structure in heptane/IPA (90/10) than in methanol. This results from the differences in the distribution of solvent molecules close to the backbone of ADMPC leads to changes in the distribution of the (φ, ψ) dihedral angles of the glycoside bond (between adjacent monomers) that define the structure of the polymer. Our simulations have shown that the lifetime of hydrogen bonds formed between ADMPC and flavanone enantiomers in the MD simulations are able to reproduce the elution order observed in experiments for both the methanol and the heptane/IPA solvent systems. Furthermore, the ratios of hydrogen-bonding-lifetime-related properties also capture the solvent effects, in that heptane/IPA (90/10) is found to make the separation between the two enantiomers of flavanone less effective than methanol, which agrees with the experimental separation factors of 0.9 versus 0.4 for R/S, respectively.

Abstract
Some low or non-UV absorbing compounds like amino acids might be accessible to direct UV detection by capillary electrophoresis (CE), due to the photochemical reaction in the detection window of the separation capillary under extremely strong alkaline conditions. However, with regards to the photochemical reaction procedure and the influencing factors in CE, no comprehensive studies have been done. Herein, two strategies were applied to investigate the photochemical reaction mechanism including the introduction of an additional UV lamp and the utilization of driving pressure. The former confirmed the occurrence of photolysis, while the latter solved the interference of electroosmotic flow (EOF). Furthermore, the online photochemical reaction and online preconcentration technique were combined to develop a rapid, simple and sensitive method for determination of seven essential amino acids (valine, leucine, phenylalanine, methionine, tryptophan, threonine and lysine). Eventually, the developed method was successfully applied to the analysis of real samples with good reproducibility and reliability. This novel and simple method, based on the photochemical reactions occurring in the detection window and coupling with online preconcentration techniques, shows a great potential for the rapid and sensitive detection of low or non-UV absorbing compounds.

Abstract
An extra-facile chiral liquid chromatography-time of flight mass spectrometry (LC-TOFMS) analytical method of amino acid enantiomers has been developed without a derivatization process. The enantioseparation of eighteen proteinogenic amino acids (except for proline) was simultaneously performed using a combination of a chiral column (CROWNPAK CR-I(+)) and a TOFMS within 15 min. An isocratic condition of a simple mobile phase comprising acetonitrile/water/trifluoroacetic acid (96/4/0.5) gave baseline separation of all underivatized amino acid enantiomers on the chiral column.

Abstract
Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is defined as glucose intolerance with onset or first recognition during pregnancy. It is affecting approximately up to 14% of all pregnancies with an increasing tendency. GDM has been related to relevant short-term and long-term health complications for both mother and offspring. Recent studies strongly emphasized the role of several essential amino acids in the pathogenesis of obesity and highlighted their strong correlation with insulin resistance, but there are no references related to modifications in D-AAs in biological fluids. As D-AA elimination proceeds mainly by renal excretion, urine was the selected sample to evaluate the alterations in free D-AAs ratio in a GDM study. Only 1 mL of first void urine or standard solution was required for purification, by using a Discovery DSC-SCX SPE cartridge (500 mg/3 mL) and derivatization into their N(O)-pentafluoropropionyl amino acid 2-propyl esters. Enantiomeric separation was carried out by GC-MS on a Chirasil-L-Val N-propionyl-L-valine-tert-butylamide polysiloxane fused-silica capillary column (25 m×0.25 mm I.D., 0.12 μm film thickness, Agilent Technologies, Waldbronn, Germany), under programmed temperature elution. Detection was performed with an ion trap mass analyzer, operating in the full scan mode in the m/z 50-350 range. 14 pairs of derivatives of D-and L-AAs were separated. The steps of sample preparation, derivatization and GC-MS conditions were optimized for both urine and standards. Several conditions affecting the SPE procedure, such as sorbent mass/volume ratio of the cartridge, sample dilution and pH, were optimized. Volume of reagents and solvents and reaction temperature and time were also tested for the derivatization. Regarding the GC-MS parameters, split ratio, temperature program and mass range were optimized. The final method was validated in terms of linearity, sensitivity, accuracy and precision for D-Ala, D-Pro, D-Ser, D-Met, D-Phe, D-Glu, D-Orn and D-Lys. Identification of AAs in urine samples was based on retention time and mass spectra. Urine from 20 women with GDM and 20 pregnant women with normal glucose tolerance (after 2-h 75-g oral glucose tolerance test), matched according to the week of gestation and age (22-28 week of gestation and age 24-37 years), were enrolled into the study. %D-Relative amounts were determined for Ala, Val, Thr, Ser, Leu, Asx (Asp+Asn), Glx (Glu+Gln), Met, Phe, Tyr, Orn and Lys. Statistically significant differences (p<0.05) were observed only for D-Phe and higher values were found in the GDM group. It is possible that D-Phe could be involved in metabolic/signaling pathways to compensate early stages of insulin resistance, although further work is necessary to confirm this hypothesis.

Abstract
Enantioselective amino acid metabolome analysis of the Japanese traditional black vinegars (amber rice vinegar, Kurozu) was performed using two-dimensional high-performance liquid chromatography combining a microbore-monolithic ODS column and narrowbore-enantioselective columns. d-Amino acids, the enantiomers of widely observed l-amino acids, are currently paid attention as novel physiologically active substances, and the foodstuffs and beverages containing high amounts of d-amino acids are the subjects of interest. In the present study, the amino acid enantiomers were determined by two-dimensional HPLC techniques after pre-column fluorescence derivatization with 4-fluoro-7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole. In the first dimension, the amino acid enantiomers are separated as their d plus l mixtures by the reversed-phase mode, then the d-amino acids and their l-counterparts are separately determined in the second dimension by the enantioselective columns. As a result, large amounts of d-Ala (800-4000nmol/mL), d-Asp (200-400nmol/mL) and d-Glu (150-500nmol/mL) were observed in some of the traditionally produced Kurozu vinegars. Relatively large or small amounts of d-Ser (50-100nmol/mL), d-Leu (10-50nmol/mL) and d-allo-Ile (less than 20nmol/mL) were also present in these samples. Developmental changes in the d-amino acid amounts during the fermentation and aging processes have also been investigated.
