Abstract
Fluorinated carboxylic acids have been in use as ion-pairing reagents for over three decades. It has been observed that ion-pairing reagents not only increase the retention of oppositely charged analytes on reversed-phase HPLC columns but also decrease the retention of similarly charged analytes; these latter effects, however, have not been thoroughly investigated for the fluorinated carboxylic acids, and the application of these reagents has been rather restricted to their ion-pairing capacity to separate basic analytes. In the present study, we report a systematic investigation about the effects of three fluorinated carboxylic acids (trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), pentafluoropropionic acid (PFPA), and heptafluorobutyric acid (HFBA)) on the retention and selectivity of the separation of halogenated carboxylic acids and sulfonic acids by reversed-phase chromatography with an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry detector (ICPMS). Several eluents were tested and compared at different concentrations (0-100 mM) and pH values, including sulfate, nitrate, phosphate, oxalate, TFA, PFPA, and HFBA. The fluorinated carboxylic acids resulted in a consistent decrease in the retention factors (up to ca. 9-fold with HFBA) in a concentration dependent manner, which plateaued at around 50 mM. Significant improvement of the peak symmetry of the chromatographed acids was also observed. We highlight the advantages of incorporating the fluorinated carboxylic acids in modifying the selectivity and retention of organic acids in reversed phase chromatography in general, and particularly when employing chromatographic detectors with limited compatibility with organic mobile phases such as the ICPMS.

Abstract
We have furthered our understanding of the separative mechanism of a novel CE approach, termed ion-interaction CZE (II-CZE), developed in our laboratory for the resolution of mixtures of cationic peptides. Thus, II-CZE and RP-HPLC were applied to the separation of peptides differing by a single amino acid substitution in 10- and 12-residue synthetic model peptide sequences. Substitutions differed by a wide range of properties or side-chain type (e.g., alkyl side-chains, polar side-chains, etc.) at the substitution site. When carried out in high concentrations (400 mM) of pentafluoropropionic acid (PFPA), II-CZE separated peptides in order of increasing hydrophobicity when the substituted side-chains were of a similar type; when II-CZE was applied to the mixtures of peptides with substitutions of side-chains that differed in the type of functional group, there was no longer a correlation of electrophoretic mobility in II-CZE with relative peptide hydrophobicity, suggesting that a third factor is involved in the separative mechanism beyond charge and hydrophobicity. Interestingly, the hydrophobic PFPA- anion is best for separating peptides that differ in hydrophobicity with hydrophobic side-chains but high concentrations of the hydrophilic H2PO4- anion are best when separating peptides that differ in polar side-chains relative to hydrophobic side-chains. We speculate that differential hydration/dehydration properties of various side-chains in the peptide and the hydration/dehydration properties of the hydrophilic/hydrophobic anions as well as the electrostatic attractions between the peptide and the anions in solution all play a critical role in these solution-based effects.

Abstract
An analytical strategy is described for analyzing quaternary ammonium neuromuscular blocking agents in a wide variety of biological specimens in a forensic setting. Neuromuscular blocking agents such as succinylcholine, pancuronium, and tubocurarine, often used as paralytic agents during surgery, are occasionally suspected as paralytic poisoning agents involved in suspected homicide and suicide cases. Because suspicion in such cases can develop slowly, the age, nature, and quality of available specimens varies greatly. The compounds are challenging analytically because of their simultaneous precharged yet lipophilic character. An analytical strategy has been devised for extracting these compounds from complex matrices using a combination of a modified Bligh and Dyer liquid-liquid extraction (used in reverse) followed by reverse-phase ion pairing solid-phase extraction using heptafluorobutyric acid as an ion pairing reagent. Final analysis is by LC-MS/MS using a tandem quadrupole orthogonal acceleration time of flight instrument (Q-TOF) with repetitive product ion scanning at high resolution. Native and spiked specimens are compared for both quantitative and especially qualitative purposes. The method has been applied to a wide variety of fluid and tissue specimen types, including numerous specimens from exhumation autopsies. For most specimens, detection limits are in the 2 to 10 ng/g range. Succinylmonocholine has been demonstrated to be present at low levels in normal posthumous kidney and liver. The Q-TOF is an excellent platform for forensic analytical investigations. This analytical strategy should also be applicable to other problematic analytes and sample matrices.

Context-dependent effects on the hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity of side-chains during reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography: Implications for prediction of peptide retention behaviour.

Abstract
The present study set out to investigate whether observed relative hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity values of positively charged side-chains (with Lys and Arg as representative side-chains) or hydrophobic side-chains (with Ile as the representative side-chain) were context-dependent, i.e., did such measured values vary depending on characteristics of the peptides within which such side-chains are substituted (overall peptide hydrophobicity, number of positive charges) and/or properties of the mobile phase (anionic counterions of varying hydrophobicity and concentration)? Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) was applied to two series of four synthetic peptide analogues (+1, +2, +3 and +4 net charge), the only difference between the two peptide series being the substitution of one hydrophobic Ile residue for a Gly residue, in the presence of anionic ion-pairing reagents of varying hydrophobicity (HCOOH approximately H3PO4 < TFA < PFPA < HFBA) and concentration (2-50 mM). RP-HPLC of these peptide series revealed that the relative hydrophilicity of Lys and Arg side-chains in the peptides increased with peptide hydrophobicity. In addition the relative hydrophobicity of Ile decreased dramatically with an increase in the number of positive charges in the peptide, this hydrophobicity decrease being of greater magnitude as the hydrophobicity of the anionic ion-pairing reagent increased. These results have significant implications in the prediction of peptide retention times for proteomic applications.

Abstract
The addition of salts, specifically sodium perchlorate (NaClO4), to mobile phases at acidic pH as ion-pairing reagents for reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) has been generally overlooked. To demonstrate the potential of NaClO4 as an effective anionic ion-pairing reagent, we applied RP-HPLC in the presence of 0-100 mM sodium chloride (NaCl), sodium trifluoroacetate (NaTFA) or NaClO4 to two mixtures of synthetic 18-residue peptides: a mixture of peptides with the same net positive charge (+4) and a mixture of four peptides of +1, +2, +3 and +4 net charge. Interestingly, the effect of increasing NaClO4 concentration on increasing peptide retention times and selectivity changes was more dramatic than that of either NaCl or NaTFA, with the order of increasing anion effectiveness being Cl- << TFA- < C104-. Such effects were more marked when salt addition was applied to eluents containing 10 mM phosphoric acid (H3PO4) compared to 10 mM trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) due to the lesser starting anion hydrophobicity of the former mobile phase (containing the phosphate ion) compared to the latter (containing the TFA- ion).

Abstract
Despite the continuing dominance of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) as the anionic ion-pairing reagent of choice for peptide separations by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), we believe that a step-by-step approach to re-examining the relative efficacy of TFA compared to other ion-pairing reagents is worthwhile, particularly for the design of separation protocols for complex peptide mixtures, e.g., in proteomics applications. Thus, we applied RP-HPLC in the presence of different concentrations of anionic ion-pairing reagents - phosphoric acid, TFA, pentafluoropropionic acid (PFPA) and heptafluorobutyric acid (HFBA)--to a mixture of three groups of four 10-residue peptides, these groups containing peptides of +1, +3 or +5 net charge. Overall separation of the 12-peptide mixture improved with increasing reagent hydrophobicity (phosphate- < TFA- < PFPA- < HFBA-) and/or concentration of the anion, with reagent hydrophobicity having a considerably more pronounced effect than reagent concentration. HFBA, in particular, achieved an excellent separation at a concentration of just 10 mM, whereby the peptides were separated by charged groups (+1 < +3 < +5) and hydrophobicity within these groups. There was an essentially equal effect of reagent hydrophobicity and concentration on each positive charge of the peptides, a useful observation for prediction of the effect of varying counterion concentration hydrophobicity and/or concentration during optimization of peptide purification protocols. Peak widths were greater for the more highly charged peptides, although these could be decreased significantly by raising the acid concentration; concomitantly, peptide resolution increased with increasing concentration of ion-pairing reagent.

Abstract
We have employed a novel capillary electrophoresis (CE) approach recently developed in our laboratory, termed ion-interaction-capillary zone electrophoresis (II-CZE), to the resolution of a mixture of 27 synthetic cationic proteomic peptide standards. These peptides were comprised of three groups of nine peptides (with net charges of +1, +2 and +3 for all nine peptides within a group), the hydrophobicity of the nine peptides within a group varying only subtly between adjacent peptides. This bidimensional CE approach achieved excellent resolution of the peptides with high peak capacity by combining the powerful CZE mechanism located in the background electrolyte (BGE) with an hydrophobicity-based mechanism also located in the BGE, the latter consisting of high concentrations (up to 0.4M) of aqueous perfluorinated acids (trifluoroacetic acid, pentafluoropropionic acid and heptafluorobutyric acid). Thus, concomitant with a CZE separation of the three differently charged groups of peptides, there is an hydrophobically-mediated separation of the peptides within these groups effected through interaction of the hydrophobic anions of the perfluorinated acids with hydrophobic amino acid side-chains in the peptides. This methodology is dramatically different from other CE methods that have used complexing agents such as micelles or cyclodextrins in MEKC. Overall, the results presented here demonstrate the value of CE as a peptide separative tool in its own right, including its use for proteomic applications, and not merely as a complementary technique to reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC).

Abstract
The homologous series of volatile perfluorinated acids-trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), pentafluoropropionic acid (PFPA) and heptafluorobutyric acid (HFBA)--continue to be excellent anionic ion-pairing reagents for reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) after more than two decades since their introduction to this field. It was felt that a thorough, step-by-step re-examination of the effects of anionic ion-pairing reagents over a wide concentration range on RP-HPLC peptide elution behaviour is now due, particularly considering the continuing dominance of such reagents for peptide applications. Thus, RP-HPLC was applied over a range of 1-60 mM phosphoric acid, TFA, PFPA and HFBA to two mixtures of 18-residue synthetic peptides containing either the same net positive charge (+4) or varying positive charge (+1, +2, +3, +4). Peptides with the same charge are resolved very similarly independent of the ion-pairing reagent used, although the overall retention times of the peptides increase with increasing hydrophobicity of the anion: phosphate < TFA- < PFPA- < HFBA-. Peptides of differing charge move at differing rates relative to each other depending on concentration of ion-pairing reagents. All four ion-pairing reagents increased peptide retention time with increasing concentration, albeit to different extents, again based on hydrophobicity of the anion, i.e., the more hydrophobic the anion, the greater the increase in peptide retention time at the same reagent concentration. Interestingly, phosphoric acid produced the best separation of the four-peptide mixture (+1 to +4 net charge). In addition, concentrations above 10 mM HFBA produced a reversal of the elution order of the four peptides (+1 < + 2 < + 3 < + 4) compared to the elution order produced by the other three reagents over the entire concentration range (+4 < + 3 < + 2 < + 1).

Abstract
The single run analysis of 23 small peptides (principally glycyl and lysyl dipeptides) is performed by ion-pair reversed-phase liquid chromatography coupled with evaporative light scattering detection or electrospray (tandem) mass spectrometry. Several perfluorinated carboxylic acid homologues are evaluated with an octadecyl silica stationary phase (Supelcosil ABZ+ Plus). Among the perfluorocarboxylic acids tested the nonafluoropentanoic acid and the tridecafluoroheptanoic acid gave the best results. Special attention was paid to the separation of isomer/isobar dipeptides (e.g., Gly-Ile, Gly-Leu, Leu-Gly, as well as Gly-Gln, Gly-Lys, etc.) which is usually necessary in spite of the high specificity of mass spectrometry. Before LC-MS analysis, ion-spray fragmentation as well as optimization of MS parameters of the analysed peptides was investigated. The optimum collision energy of glysyl peptides, Ala-Gln, Asp-Asp and Asp-Asp-Asp (13-18 eV) was different from that of the lysyl peptides, Tyr-Glu and oxidised glutathione (25-32 eV). Limits of detection varied from 0.1 to 1.2 mg l(-1) for simple MS and 0.05 to 25 mg l(-1) for tandem MS.

Abstract
The reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) behavior of synthetic model peptides containing positively charged amino acid residues was studied in the presence or absence of 100 mM sodium perchlorate in order to determine the effect on apparent side-chain hydrophilicity of a charged residue at low pH. The peptides used in this study were either non-helical peptides or amphipathic alpha-helical peptides, where the effect of the negatively charged perchlorate ion on a charged residue in either the hydrophobic face or hydrophilic face of the helix was monitored. We have shown that the addition of 100 mM perchlorate to RPLC separations of positively charged peptides performed in a 20 mM aqueous phosphoric acid-acetonitrile system resulted in an increase in retention time of a peptide relative to the same peptide in the absence of perchlorate. This effect occurred independent of conformation, i.e., whether comparing the effect of positively charged residue substitutions in the hydrophobic or hydrophilic face of an amphipathic alpha-helix or in a peptide with negligible secondary structure. From these results, suggesting that positively charged side-chain hydrophilicity is decreased by ion-pairing with the perchlorate ion, we have shown practical examples where mixtures of non-helical and amphipathic alpha-helical peptides showed enhanced resolution in the presence of perchlorate at pH 2, compared to in its absence. In addition, it was shown that an aqueous phosphoric acid-perchlorate-acetonitrile mobile phase may show markedly different selectivity for peptide separations at low pH compared to the more traditional aqueous trifluoroacetic acid-acetonitrile system.

Abstract
The purification of a range of protected peptide segments has been carried out using modified reversed-phase chromatographic techniques in which DMF was added to the water and acetonitrile mixtures used as eluents. The purity of the recovered peptides was excellent and recoveries were high in all cases, even for longer hydrophobic segments. In several cases purifications were carried out on the hundreds of milligrams scale. For protected peptide segments containing Met, protection as the sulfoxide avoids its unwanted alkylation and oxidation, and the increased overall polarity can be useful in the purification of protected peptides incorporating this residue.

Abstract
The use of reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography for the separation of a mixture of 14 phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated enkephalins is described. The influence of two homologous series of hydrophobic ion-pairing reagents, consisting of perfluorinated carboxylic (trifluoroacetic, pentafluoropropionic and hexafluorobutyric) acids and sodium salts of sulfonic (butane-, hexane- and heptane-) acids, on the retention of enkephalin peptides was investigated. The incorporation of the phosphate group reduces retention time in proportion with the resulting change in hydrophobicity of the peptide. All peptides exhibit increase in retention time with increase in the counter ion hydrophobicity. The increase is proportional to the number of positively charged groups present in a peptide. Phosphopeptides show small increases in retention times than their corresponding non-phospho derivatives. The near-neighbor effect of the Tyr-O-phosphate group is responsible for suppression of the ion-pairing interaction of the mobile phase counter ions with the positively charged terminal amino group of enkephalins.

The glutathione conjugate of 2-furamide has been screened for and structurally characterized by tandem mass spectrometry (MS(MS) by using a hybrid instrument of BEqQ design. Mass spectrometry experiments employed fast atom bombardment (FAB) ionization of a crude bile extract from a rat dosed with a 1:1 mixture of unlabeled and [ (13)C12-furamide. Initial screening for glutathione conjugates employed constant neutral loss scanning to detect the loss of 129 u, corresponding to the loss of the γ-glutamyl moiety of the conjugates. By direct comparison with control bile, [M + H] (+) ions of m/z 417 and 418 were readily identified as candidate ions corresponding to the glutathione conjugates of unlabeled and (13)C-labeled 2-furamide. Complementary screening information was generated by using a methylated bile extract, with constant neutral loss scanning to detect the loss of the methylated γ-glutamyl moiety (143 u). An alternative screening procedure employing parent ion scanning to detect the sodium adducts of methylated glutathione conjugates was also developed. Structural information was generated by frrst-generation product ion scanning of the protonated and sodium cationized forms of the candidate species, both native and derivatized. This provided a body of internally consistent evidence that the conjugate retains the pseudoaromatic furan ring system without ring hydroxylation. The utility of sequential mass spectrometry (MS(MS(MS) capability of the hybrid instrument in the analysis of complex biological mixtures was also demonstrated. Using the bile extract, first-generation product ions that formed in either the first or second field-free region of the double-focusing portion of the instrument were subsequently collisionally activated in the rf-only quadrupole followed by mass analysis of the second-generation product ions. Structural information so provided for the glutathione conjugate of 2-furamide further substantiated its retention of the pseudoaromatic furan ring system and facilitated plausible assignment of structures to ionic species generated through multiple decomposition events.

Abstract
Exposure of cells of the K-562 erythroleukemia cell line to 4-hydroperoxycyclophosphamide (4-HC), an analog of activated cyclophosphamide, causes a concentration-dependent inhibition of in vitro colony formation by these cells. For investigation of the role of glutathione (GSH) in the metabolism of 4-HC, GSH levels of K-562 cells were modulated by exposing the cells to buthionine sulfoximine (BSO), a specific inhibitor of GSH synthesis, and/or to GSH ethyl esters. Both the mono- and diethyl esters of GSH were synthesized in our laboratories and their identities were determined by chromatographic methods and fast-atom-bombardment mass spectrometry. An HPLC method including electrochemical detection used for thiol determination was applied for the measurement of GSH esters. Incubation of the cells with BSO depleted GSH levels to approximately 11% of control values and potentiated the cytotoxicity of 4-HC. By contrast, exposure to GSH esters approximately doubled GSH levels and protected the cells against the toxicity of 4-HC. Moreover, when cellular GSH levels were first depleted by BSO exposure and then replenished by incubation with GSH esters, the BSO-associated potentiation of 4-HC cytotoxicity was abolished. The work described herein extends the application of an HPLC method used for thiol determination to the measurement of GSH ethyl esters. In addition, it established that GSH acts as a competitive protecting agent against the in vitro toxicity of 4-HC in the K-562 cell line.

Abstract
In order to clarify the mechanism of secretin degradation in aqueous solutions, the formation of degradation products from secretin, aspartoyl3 secretin and beta-aspartyl3 secretin was investigated; the stabilities of these three peptides were investigated as well. Aspartoyl3 secretion and beta-aspartyl3 secretin, degradation peptides produced during the storage of secretin in aqueous solutions, were isolated by preparative reversed-phase HPLC (RP-HPLC). The amounts of secretin and its two degradation peptides resulting from storage of secretin in various buffer solutions (pH 2.3 to 10.0, mu = 0.5 M, 60 degrees C) were determined by analytical RP-HPLC. Secretin and the isolated degradation peptides were stored separately in various aqueous buffer solutions resulting in the degradation of each peptide. A mixture of secretin and its degradation or cleavage peptides was formed in each solution. The observed degradation rates for each peptide approximately followed first-order kinetics. The pH-rate profiles for conversion of secretin and beta-aspartyl3 secretin were similar, while that for aspartoyl3 secretin was different from these two. Aspartoyl3 secretin was more stable than the others at pH 2.3 to 4.0, but it was easily degraded between pH 5.0 and 10.0. Investigation of aspartoyl3 secretin degradation showed that its degradation was related to the pH value of the solution, and that hydroxide ion catalyzes the ring opening of the aspartoyl peptide. Secretin was most stable in pH 7.0 buffer solution and more stable in acidic solutions than in alkaline solutions. Secretion was mainly degraded through the following pathways: cleavage peptides reversible secretin in equilibrium aspartoyl peptide in equilibrium beta-aspartyl peptide vector cleavage peptides.

Abstract
During the storage of secretin in acid and neutral aqueous solutions, five degradation peptides (A1, A2, A3, A4, A5) and one degradation peptide (N1) were produced, respectively. They were isolated in pure form by HPLC, and the intramolecular structures were studied by a combination of amino acid analysis, enzymatic digestions, HPLC, and Fab-mass spectroscopy. Although the degradation peptides are composed of the same amino acids as secretin after acid hydrolysis (except A1 and A4 which are cleavage products S16-27 and S4-27, respectively), reversed-phase HPLC analysis of their digestive fragments with trypsin and alpha-chymotrypsin are different from those of secretin. By Fab-mass spectroscopy, the m/z values for the S1-6 fragments obtained from secretin, A2, and A3 were 663, 663, and 645, respectively. When S1-6 from A2 was treated with aminopeptidase M, a fragment obtained was identical with the synthetic beta-aspartyl3 S3-6, as determined by HPLC. The A2 and N1 peptides are completely the same based on various chemical analyses. The A3 peptide can also be rapidly degraded to secretin and beta-aspartyl3 secretin. Consequently, A1 and A4 are concluded to be the cleavage peptides of secretin, S16-27 and S4-27, respectively, A2 and N1 are concluded to be beta-aspartyl3 secretin, and A3 is concluded to be aspartoyl3 secretin.

Abstract
The assessment of proteolysis levels is often achieved by global quantification of the peptides soluble at different TCA concentrations, but little information is available on the features of this precipitation mechanism. Peptic, tryptic and chymotryptic digests of alpha s1, beta, and kappa caseins have been prepared and fractionated by RP-HPLC and each isolated peptide was identified. Each digest was precipitated by adding TCA to different final concentrations (2, 4, 8, and 12%). The soluble fraction was analysed by RP-HPLC. Relationships have been searched between the properties of 75 peptides obtained in this way, and their solubilities in TCA. The best correlation was found with the peptide retention time in RP-HPLC, which can be regarded as the experimental measure of peptide hydrophobicity. We concluded that TCA, by interacting with peptides, induces an increase of the hydrophobicity of peptides which can lead to aggregation through hydrophobic interactions.

Abstract
A novel mobile phase containing heptafluorobutyric acid has been used for ion-interaction high-performance liquid chromatography of leukotrienes, lipoxins and related compounds on octadecylsilane silica columns. The use of a hydrophobic perfluorinated carboxylic acid as an ion-interaction agent at optimized concentration and pH permitted rapid, isocratic separation of leukotrienes, lipoxins and monohydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids. A completely volatile mobile phase suitable for preparative chromatography was obtained by using triethylamine as the base for pH adjustment. With this novel mobile phase, leukotrienes and monohydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids were completely separated in less than 15 min.

Abstract
There is little evidence that reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography can be successfully used in the analysis of protected peptide segments. The use of C18 and CN packings and mobile phases containing water-acetonitrile with or without propionic acid in the separation of complex mixtures of synthetic protected peptides is reported. CN packings show a lower efficiency and exhibit poorer resolution than C18 packings but provide different separations. The addition of propionic acid to the mobile phase increases the retention time of peptides but also provides dramatic and useful changes in selectivity. Retention is not related to the molecular mass of the protected peptides but mainly to their hydrophobicity.

Abstract
We have examined the resolution, on reversed-phase columns, of a series of model synthetic peptides and commercially available synthetic peptide standards under gradient elution conditions, using a water-acetonitrile mobile phase containing hydrophilic (phosphoric acid) or hydrophobic (trifluoroacetic acid, heptafluorobutyric acid) ion-pairing reagents. Increasing hydrophobicity or concentration of the ion-pairing reagents increased peptide retention times. It was clearly shown that these reagents effected changes in peptide retention time solely through interaction with the basic residues in the peptide. In general, each positive charge, whether originating from a lysine, arginine or histidine side-chain, or from an N-terminal alpha-amino group, exerts an equal effect on peptide retention. Different counterions have different effects on the change in peptide retention time per positively charged residue due to their differences in hydrophobicity. However, increasing concentrations of a specific counterion have an essentially equal effect per positively charged residue. These effects are also column dependent (n-alkyl chain length and ligand density). These results, demonstrating a simple relationship between peptide retention in different ion-pairing systems, enabled the determination of rules for prediction of peptide retention times in one ion-pairing system from observed or predicted retention times in another system. The small average deviation of predicted and observed retention times for a series of basic peptides was good evidence for the value of this predictive method. This study provides a clear understanding of the effect of changing counterion hydrophobicity or concentration on peptide retention, and thus can be extremely beneficial in the purification of peptides and for providing proof of peptide homogeneity.

Abstract
A novel mode of reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography in which the mobile phase reacts chemically with the compounds to be separated was developed. Nikkomycin X and nikkomycin Z, two natural isomeric nucleoside peptide antibiotics, move as a single peak on a C18 reversed-phase column using an aqueous trifluoroacetic acid mobile phase. Addition of sodium bisulfite (1.0%) to the mobile phase results in the formation of a polar bisulfite addition product with nikkomycin X, but not with nikkomycin Z, inside the HPLC column. This type of reactive chromatography, or chemochromatography, led to the analytical and preparative separation of nikkomycins X and Z which are normally very intractable to separation by conventional chromatographic techniques.

Abstract
alpha-Melanotropin (alpha-MSH) is a linear tridecapeptide (Ac-Ser-Tyr-Ser-Met-Glu-His-Phe-Arg-Trp-Gly-Lys-Pro-Val-NH2), that is primarily known for its ability to stimulate melanosome dispersion within integumental melanocytes (F. J. H. Tilders, D. F. Swaab and T. B. van Wimersma Greidanus (Editors), Frontiers of Hormone Research, Vol. 4, Karger, Basel, 1977; J. Ramachandran, S. W. Farmer, S. Liles and C. H. Li, Biochim. Biophys. Acta, 428 (1976) 347). In our efforts to understand the relationships of structure and conformation to the biological activities of alpha-MSH, we have prepared a series of diastereoisomeric analogues based on the highly potent analogue Ac-[Nle4, D-Phe7]-alpha-MSH4-11-NH2 (T. K. Sawyer, V. J. Hruby, B. C. Wilkes, M. T. Draelos, M. E. Hadley and J. Bergsneider, J. Med. Chem., 25 (1982) 1022). These analogues differed only in the amino acid substituted in the seven position, which was thought to be a critical residue for the biological activity of alpha-MSH. The chromatographic behavior of these analogues was examined on a C18 Vydac (16-micron) reversed-phase column with five different mobile phases. The selectivity (alpha) for the analogues was compared in 0.10% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), 0.10% heptafluorobutyric acid (HFBA) and 0.25 M triethylammonium phosphate (TEAP) using either acetonitrile or methanol as the organic modifier. With only one exception all analogues substituted with a D-amino acid in the seven position were eluted prior to their L-amino acid counterparts.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Optimization of the mobile phase in reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography has been examined with respect to the separation of multiple components from mouse epidermal growth factor preparations. Neither trifluoroacetic acid, nor heptafluorobutyric acid afforded optimal separations when added in various concentrations as potential ion-pairing agents, requiring low ionic strengths and yielding separations that were susceptible to changes in packings due to differences in stationary phase coverage and the presence of accessible silanol groups on the C-18 phases used. Pentadecafluorooctanoic acid, on the other hand, gave a reproducible, effective separation when combined with 0.155 M sodium chloride in the primary solvent, and eluted with a gradient of acetonitrile-1-propanol as the secondary solvent. Additional selectivities were conferred by the addition of triethylamine (0.015 M) to the mobile phase containing pentadecafluorooctanoic acid. These studies illustrate the value of such mixed mobile phases in achieving complex separations of closely eluted polypeptides.

Abstract
Porcine VIP was synthesized from three segments. The segments, VIP(1-6), VIP(7-13), and VIP(14-28), were synthesized via the Repetitive Excess Mixed Anhydride (REMA) method. The low solubility of the C-terminal segment was greatly improved by a temporary substitution of Asn28 by a beta-t-butyl aspartic acid ester. The segments VIP(1-6) and VIP(7-13) were purified by HPLC and coupled via the mixed anhydride method. The product was purified by gel filtration. VIP was synthesized from VIP(1-13) and VIP(14-28) by the same procedure. After deprotection, Met17-sulfoxide reduction, and purification by ion-exchange chromatography, the product was found to have the expected amino acid composition and biological potency. A HPLC purified sample was compared with several commercial preparations of varying purity.

Abstract
Tryptic and cyanogen bromide peptides derived from yeast aspartyl-tRNA synthetase and from Escherichia coli ribosomal proteins were separated by reversed-phase liquid chromatography, employing volatile buffers of low ionic strength. The conditions used allow the performance of micro-sequencing without desalting or extensive lyophilization, and can therefore be applied to peptide mixtures containing hydrophobic fragments which tend to precipitate. To prevent losses of peptides, direct ultra-violet detection of the peptides was preferred, to detection by post-column derivatization with an additional stream splitting device. Preparative separations were performed with 5-10 nmol of peptide mixture; analytical runs were made with 5-10 micrograms of protein hydrolysate.

A simple and effective high-performance-liquid-chromatography system has been developed for the separation of the native forms of Types I and III collagens. This separation is achieved on a commercially available 330-A-pore-size C18 reverse-phase support using a solvent system consisting of ammonium bicarbonate (0.05 M) and trifluoroacetic acid (0.4%) with tetrahydrofuran as the eluting solvent. This simple system can also be applied to the separation of mixtures of the denatured chains of both collagen types.

Abstract
A unique combination of chromatographic separation and mass spectrometric techniques has been developed for a novel method for measurement of picomole amounts of endogenous oligopeptides in biologic tissue. High-performance liquid chromatography is utilized for rapid high-resolution separation of peptides. A new buffer system using dilute triethylamine-formic acid is utilized. The buffer system possesses excellent UV transparent properties enabling femtomole sensitivity for measurement of standard solutions of somatostatin. Use of porous polystyrenedivinylbenzene copolymer and octadecylsilyl columns facilitate retention of a peptide fraction from biologic extracts. Advantage was taken of field desorption mass spectrometric methods to eliminate chemical derivatization of peptides and to produce protonated molecular ions which retain total molecular information of the peptide. Use of appropriate internal standards and selected ion monitoring methods enabled nanogram sensitivity and, more importantly, optimized structural specificity of the compound being quantified. Results are compatible with radioimmunoassay data. Data obtained with field desorption mass spectrometry provide, for the first time, measurement of intact, chemically underivatized oligopeptides extracted form biologic matrices and significantly, provide and analytic method to calibrate radioimmunoassay data. This novel combination of methods is being applied to measurements of peptide (leu-enkephalin, met-enkephalin, somatostatin, etc.) in canine brain regions and dental pulp tissue.

Abstract
Protected secretin, a 27-peptide amide, was synthesized by the all-repetitive excess mixed anhydride (REMA) method and purified by preparative reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Highly potent secretin was obtained after deprotection with the aid of HF/anisole and purification by ion-exchange chromatography. The scope of the REMA-strategy is discussed in comparison with other strategies.

Abstract
This report describes the successful use of the ether soluble, ion pairing reagents perfluoropropoinic and perfluorobutyric acid in the preparative and analytical reserved phase HPLC of underivatised peptides. The preparative separation of a 1-g sample of Pyr-His-Gly, the proposed anorexigenic peptide, is described on C18-silica which was packed in a flexible-walled cartridge and subjected to radial compression. The mobile phase consisted of an aqueous solution of perfluorobutyric acid (5 mM) and a flow rate of 100 ml/min was used. The purified peptide was simply isolated by neutralizing and freeze-drying the corresponding peak and then extracting the excess ion pairing reagent with ether. The product was then shown to be homogeneous by analytical HPLC and amino acid analysis. The tripeptide failed to show any effect on food intake, water intake or body weight in female rats. Similarly no effect was noted on the reproductive cycles of the rat.
