Wianowska D. Combination of Sea Sand Disruption Method and Ion-Pair Solid-Phase Extraction for Effective Isolation and Purification of Chlorogenic Acid from Plants Prior to the HPLC Determination. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27175601. [PMID: 36080367 PMCID: PMC9458169 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27175601] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2022] [Revised: 08/20/2022] [Accepted: 08/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Chlorogenic acid (CQA) is one of phenolics commonly found in higher plants, possessing numerous health-promoting effects on humans. Unfortunately, it is easily degraded/transformed into other substances during extraction. Therefore, its reliable analysis requires a special approach that does not involve high temperatures. This paper presents a very simple method of CQA isolation using the sea sand disruption method with subsequent purification of the extract using the ion-pair solid-phase extraction process, followed by HPLC–DAD detection. It was found that control of the ion pairing reagent concentration and sample pH is crucial to improve purification, and that the best results, with recovery exceeding 98%, were obtained for 0.05 M tetrabutylammonium bisulfate at pH 7 when the ion pairs were formed directly in the extract and eluted from the C18 sorbent using an acidified methanol–water mixture. The practical potential of the developed procedure was verified by using it for CQA isolation from different plants. The approach represents one of the contemporary analytical trends and current advances in the solid phase extraction, in which several sorption extraction techniques are combined to ensure high-quality analytical results.

In Vitro Antibacterial Activity of Different Honey Samples against Clinical Isolates. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 2022:1560050. [PMID: 35097108 PMCID: PMC8799333 DOI: 10.1155/2022/1560050] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2021] [Revised: 12/19/2021] [Accepted: 12/29/2021] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
Background The emergence of multi-drug-resistant organisms has created a lot of clinical problems. Hence, there is a need to find natural alternative treatment to counter the multi-drug-resistant organisms. Honey has a well-established usage as wound dressing in ancient and traditional medicine. Objective The objective of this study is to establish a baseline for the antibacterial activity of 32 global raw natural and commercial various honey samples against 8 clinical isolates. Methods Thirty-two honey samples (raw and commercial honey) collected from different global countries with different floral origins were tested in vitro for antibacterial activity against 8 clinical isolates collected from patients, at private hospital from Sudan, using disk diffusion technique. The following 6 epsilometer tests (Etest), amoxicillin, ciprofloxacin, cefotaxime, chloramphenicol, gentamicin, and tetracycline, were used against 8 clinical isolates for Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC). Results The following 8 clinical isolates were identified by conventional bacteriological methods: Staphylococcus aureus, (S. aureus) Escherichia coli (E. coli), Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa), Proteus vulgaris (P. vulgaris), Salmonella Typhi (S. Typhi), Shigella sonnei (S. sonnei), and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Both raw natural and commercial honey exhibited antibacterial properties against tested Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The tested organisms showed low sensitivity to antibiotic Etest. Conclusion All of the bacterial species studied were uniformly receptive to all raw and commercial tested honey samples; in contrast, the tested organisms showed low sensitivity to antibiotics. Commercial honey has the same antibacterial activity as the raw natural unprocessed honey against tested clinical isolates. Thus, honey is a successful alternative to conventional antibiotics as has been proved against clinical isolates.

Abstract
Introduction: Human blood and saliva are increasingly under investigation for the detection of biomarkers for early diagnosis of non-communicable (e.g.cancers) and communicable diseases like COVID-19. Exploring the potential application of human tears, an easily accessible body fluid, for the diagnosis of various diseases is the need of the hour.Areas covered: This review deals with a comprehensive account of applications of tear analysis using different techniques, their comparison and overall progress achieved till now. The techniques used for tear fluid analysis are HPLC/UPLC/SDS-PAGE, CE, etc., together with ELISA, Mass Spectrometry, etc. But, with advances in instrumentation and data processing methods, it has become easy to couple the various separation methods with highly sensitive optical techniques for the analysis of body fluids.Expert opinion: Tear analysis can provide valuable information about the health condition of the eyes since it contains several molecular constituents, and their relative concentrations may alter under abnormal conditions. Tear analysis has the advantage that it is totally non-invasive. This study recommends tear fluid as a reliable clinical sample to be probed by highly sensitive optical techniques to diagnose different health conditions, with special emphasis on eye diseases.

Simultaneous determination of ten paralytic shellfish toxins and tetrodotoxin in scallop and short-necked clam by ion-pair solid-phase extraction and hydrophilic interaction chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. J Chromatogr A 2021; 1651:462328. [PMID: 34153733 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2021.462328] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2021] [Revised: 06/03/2021] [Accepted: 06/06/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Paralytic shellfish toxins and tetrodotoxin (puffer-fish toxin), the latter of which was recently found in bivalves from Europe, Japan, and New Zealand, are potent neurotoxins. A simple and effective clean-up procedure was developed for the simultaneous determination of ten paralytic shellfish toxins (gonyautoxins 1-6, decarbamoylgonyautoxins 2 and 3, and N-sulfocarbamoylgonyautoxins 2 and 3) and tetrodotoxin in the scallop, Mizuhopecten (Patinopecten) yessoensis, and the short-necked clam, Ruditapes philippinarum. To reduce matrix effects, 1% aqueous acetic acid extracts of the bivalves were cleaned up by ion-pair solid-phase extraction using a graphite carbon cartridge with tridecafluoroheptanoic acid as the volatile ion-pair reagent, followed by fourfold dilution. The ten paralytic shellfish toxins and tetrodotoxin were then separated on a hydrophilic interaction chromatography column and quantified by tandem mass spectrometry. The limits of detection and the limits of quantification for the ten PSTs ranged from 0.09 to 13.0 µg saxitoxin equivalents/kg and from 0.26 to 39.4 µg saxitoxin equivalents/kg, respectively. The limit of detection and the limit of quantification for tetrodotoxin ranged from 27.4 to 27.9 µg/kg and from 83.1 to 84.4 µg/kg, respectively. The proposed method yielded minimal matrix effects for the 11 analytes, thus allowing their quantification by simple external calibration. The proposed method also gave good mean recoveries of the 11 analytes ranging from 75.7 to 96.2% with relative standard deviations less than 16% at three fortification levels for the ten paralytic shellfish toxins (total concentrations of 277, 554, and 1107 µg saxitoxin equivalents/kg) and tetrodotoxin (100, 200, and 400 µg/kg) in the two bivalve samples. Finally, the proposed method was applied for the determination of the ten paralytic shellfish toxins and tetrodotoxin in scallop and short-necked clam samples.

Abstract
The technique of Solid-Phase Extraction (SPE) is widely used in various fields to concentrate samples and the search for tools to improve recoveries remains of outmost importance. The use of polymer based cartridges has become prevailing in a broad range of fields to enrich peptides from biological matrices. However, the existing SPE protocols are characterized by disparity. Ion-pairing (IP) reagents are commonly used in chromatographic applications, but their combination with SPE is less known. The aim of this study was to evaluate various SPE loading conditions, including the use of IP reagents, to improve the recoveries of nine selected peptide molecules. Control of pH and the use of IP reagents were found to be crucial to improve the enrichment of the peptides, especially cationic peptides, for which an up to ten-fold increase was observed. The practical potential of the presented theoretical findings were verified by employing IP-SPE for the development of an efficient extraction method for the doping relevant peptide Synacthen. The general proof of principle was obtained by analysis of excretion study urine samples and validation was performed with focus on the limit of detection (20 pg/ml) and recovery (37%).

Antimicrobial Activity of Agastache Honey and Characterization of Its Bioactive Compounds in Comparison With Important Commercial Honeys. Front Microbiol 2019; 10:263.

Abstract
There is an urgent need for new effective antimicrobial agents since acquired resistance of bacteria to currently available agents is increasing. The antimicrobial activity of Mono-floral Agastache honey produced from Australian grown Agastache rugosa was compared with the activity of commercially available honeys derived from Leptospermum species and with Jarrah honey for activity against clinical and non-clinical strains of Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-susceptible and methicillin-resistant strains), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for Agastache honey was in the range of 6-25% (w/v) for all species examined. The MICs for Leptospermum honeys were generally similar to those of Agastache honey, but MICs were higher for Super manuka and Jarrah honeys and lower for Tea tree honey. Staphylococci were more susceptible to all honeys than Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. Pretreatment of honey with catalase increased the bacterial growth at MIC of Tea tree honey (35%), Super Manuka (15%), Jarrah honeys (12%), and Agastache honey (10%), indicating variable contributions of hydrogen peroxide to antimicrobial activity. Manuka and Jelly bush honeys retained their antimicrobial activity in the presence of catalase, indicating the presence of other antimicrobial compounds in the honey. An LC-MS/MS method was developed and used to identify possible antimicrobial phenolic compounds in Agastache honey and flowers, and five commercial honeys. The chemical markers characteristic of Agastache honey and honeys of Leptospermum origin were phenyllactic acid and methyl syringate. Overall, the bioactive compounds with antimicrobial and antioxidant activity in Agastache honey suggested a possible use for topical application and in wound care.

Efficiency of Polyphenol Extraction from Artificial Honey Using C18 Cartridges and Amberlite® XAD-2 Resin: A Comparative Study. J CHEM-NY 2016.

Abstract
A comparative study of the extraction efficiency of nine known polyphenols [phenolic acids (benzoic acid, dihydroxybenzoic acid, gallic acid, trans-cinnamic acid, and vanillic acid) and flavonoids (naringenin, naringin, quercetin, and rutin)] was conducted by deliberately adding the polyphenols to an artificial honey solution and performing solid phase extraction (SPE). Two SPE methods were compared: one using Amberlite XAD-2 resin and another one using a C18 cartridge. A gradient high performance liquid chromatography system with an RP18 column and photodiode array detector was utilized to analyze the extracted polyphenols. The mean percent of recovery from the C18 cartridges was 74.2%, while that from the Amberlite XAD-2 resin was 43.7%. The recoveries of vanillic acid, naringin, and rutin were excellent (>90%); however, gallic acid was not obtained when C18 cartridges were used. Additionally, the reusability of Amberlite XAD-2 resin was investigated, revealing that the mean recovery of polyphenols decreased from 43.7% (1st extraction) to 29.3% (3rd extraction). It was concluded that although Amberlite XAD-2 resin yielded a higher number of compounds, C18 cartridges gave a better extraction recovery. The lower recovery seen for the Amberlite XAD-2 resin also cannot be compensated by repeated extractions due to the gradual decrease of extraction recovery when reused.

Abstract
5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is a fluorinated pyrimidine analogue important in the treatment of cancer whose fate in the environment is yet to be fully addressed. Due to its high polarity 5-FU requires challenging sample preparation and therefore we thoroughly investigated different solid phase extraction mechanisms (ion pair, ion exchange, reversed phase), sorbents and derivatisation agents to enable trace-level analysis of 5-FU based on GC-MS/MS in natural and wastewaters. Ion pair and ion exchange retention mechanisms enable the extraction of 5-FU from deionised water, but were inappropriate for complex environmental matrices, where the reversed phase sorbent Isolute ENV+ gave the best extraction efficiencies (53% and 93% for wastewaters and surface waters, respectively). Further, alkylation was rejected in favour of silylation with MTBSTFA. The achieved limits of quantification (LOQ) for waste and surface waters were 1.6 ng/L and 0.54 ng/L, respectively. The method was used to analyse samples of hospital, wastewater treatment plant influent and effluent and surface waters. 5-FU was quantified in four out of the twelve samples of oncological ward wastewaters and municipal wastewater treatment plant influents in concentrations from 4.7 ng/L to 92 ng/L. This work is also the first to study the environmental transformation of 5-FU and its prodrug capecitabine (CAP). Their removal and transformation was simulated using a series of biodegradation and photodegradation experiments, where 5-FU proved more degradable in comparison to CAP. Transformation of 5-FU and CAP was studied by using ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-QqTOF). Overall, six transformation products for 5-FU and ten for CAP are proposed; 13 of these are to our knowledge published for the first time.

Abstract
The chemical warfare agents (CWA) degrade rapidly in aqueous samples and convert to acidic degradation products. Extraction and identification of the degradation products from complex matrices using simple sample preparation and sensitive detection and identification is the most important step in the off-site analysis of samples. In this present study, we report a simple sample preparation step based on ion-pair (IP) solid-phase extraction (SPE) for the extraction of acidic degradation products of CWA namely methyl, ethyl, propyl phosphonic acids, thiodiglycolic acid and benzilic acid. The analysis was performed on GC-MS in electron impact ionization mode. Three IP reagents triethylamine (TEA), tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) and cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) were used. The recoveries were estimated using the internal and external standard methods. The recovery of the compounds was almost negligible when TEA was used as IP reagent. The recoveries obtained when TBAB and CTAB were used as IP reagents were high and reproducible. The recovery of test chemicals is above 90%, except for methyl phosphonic acid and ethylphosphonic acid (20.6 +/- 3.2% and 35.8 +/- 2.5%, respectively). The minimum detection limits of the method were calculated for all chemicals in both full scan and selected ion monitoring modes. The test chemicals could be detected in microgram per litre quantities by the IP-SPE method.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aims of this study were to formulate a novel fluoride-releasing dental composite and to evaluate its mechanical properties, fluoride release and recharge capabilities, water sorption and solubility. METHODS A fluoride-releasing dimethacrylate monomer containing a ternary zirconium fluoride chelate was synthesized. Three experimental fluoride-releasing composites were fabricated with different monomer formulas (wt.%)-(1) Control A: 40 BisGMA/40 TEDMA/20 UEDMA; (2) EXPERIMENTAL: 20 F-releasing monomer/20 BisGMA/40 TEDMA/20 UEDMA; (3) Control B: the same formula as Control A except that it contained 10 wt.% (of total monomer) tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF), which had a fluoride content equivalent to EXPERIMENTAL. All three materials had the same filler content: 55 wt.% silanized fluoroaluminosilicate particles (0.8 microm) and 10 wt.% silanized fumed silica (14 nm). All materials contained 0.17 wt.% camphorquinone (CQ) as a photoinitiator and 0.69 wt.% ethyl-4-dimethylaminobenzoate (4EDMAB) as an accelerator. The materials were tested for fluoride release (for 184 days), fluoride recharge, compressive and flexure strength, water sorption and solubility. The data were analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey-HSD tests, and Kruskal-Wallis test. RESULTS The experimental composite had significantly higher fluoride release and fluoride recharge capabilities than both Control composites. It had significantly better physical and mechanical properties than Control B. SIGNIFICANCE The combined use of the fluoride-releasing dimethacrylate monomer and fluoride-releasing filler can provide sustained high fluoride release and recharge as well as acceptable mechanical and physical properties. Simply adding organic fluoride salt in the monomer yields composites with poor mechanical and physical properties.

Abstract
An HPLC assay for the determination of risedronate in human urine was developed and validated. Risedronate and the internal standard were isolated from 5-ml urine samples in a two-part procedure. First, the analytes were precipitated from urine along with endogenous phosphates as calcium salts by the addition of CaCl(2) at alkaline pH. The precipitate was then dissolved in 0.05 M ethylene glycol-bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid and subjected to ion-pair solid-phase extraction using a Waters HLB cartridge (1 ml, 30 mg) with 1-octyltriethylammonium phosphate as the ion-pair reagent. Following extraction, the analytes were initially separated from the majority of co-extracted endogenous components on a Waters X-Terra RP18 (4.6 x 50 mm, 3.5 microm) column. The effluent from the X-Terra was "heart-cut" onto a Phenomenex Synergi Polar RP (4.6 x 150 mm, 4 microm) column for final separation. UV detection (lambda=262 nm) was used to quantitate risedronate in the concentration range of 7.5-250 ng/ml. Mean recovery was 83.3% for risedronate and 86.5% for the internal standard. The intra-day precision of the assay, as assessed by replicate (n=5) standard curves, was better than 6% RSD for all points on the standard curve. Within-day accuracy for the standards ranged from 96.3 to 106.1% of nominal. Inter-day precision for quality controls assayed over a 3-week period was better than 5%, while inter-day accuracy was within 90% of nominal. The assay was employed to analyze samples collected during a clinical pharmacokinetics study.

Abstract
The increasing demand for short- and medium-sized peptides in many fields of biological, medical and pharmaceutical research requires optimized and universally applicable high-throughput synthesis and purification techniques at the low-micromol scale. Here, we describe a continuous peptide synthesis/purification approach using the 96-well format. First, a micromol scale peptide synthesis on resin beads was optimized on a novel miniaturized 96-reaction vessel block employing standard Fmoc/tBu-chemistry. Almost 90% of the synthesized peptides contained the target sequence as the main component, as judged from matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectra. Impurities were mostly related to partially protected peptides. Second, we tested the applicability of ion pair reversed-phase solid-phase extraction (IP-RP-SPE) to purify individual peptides. Depending on the length and predicted hydrophobicity of the peptides, elution was performed with 25 or 35% aqueous acetonitrile in the presence of 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). Thus, scavengers used during TFA cleavage and partially protected peptides carrying very hydrophobic protecting groups were effectively removed. Using a narrow step gradient, the target peptides were even separated from deleted sequences and protected peptides with similar hydrophobicities. Third, we combined the micromol-scale synthesis in the 96-well format with purification by IP-RP-SPE on a 96-well micro-extraction plate format. This simple, fast and parallel approach was tested on 12-mer and 15-mer peptides to map epitopes of T- and B-cell clones, respectively. Approximately 80% of all peptides were obtained at purities > 90% without purification by RP-HPLC. In summary, this novel approach has several advantages: (i) the micromol-scale reduced the cost of peptide synthesis, (ii) large numbers of peptides were purified faster, (iii) the volumes of eluents and waste were significantly reduced, and (iv) the RP-HPLC column was not contaminated with hydrophobic impurities.
