Abstract
As both the immune system and the blood-brain barrier (BBB) are likely to be developmentally immature in the perinatal period, neonatal gene transfer may be useful for the treatment of lysosomal storage disease (LSD) with neurological involvements such as metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD). In this experiment, we examined the feasibility of single-strand adeno-associated viral serotype-9 (ssAAV9)-mediated systemic neonatal gene therapy of MLD mice. ssAAV9 vector expressing human arylsulfatase A (ASA) and green fluorescent protein (GFP) (ssAAV9/ASA) was injected into the jugular vein of newborn MLD mice. High levels of ASA expression were observed in the muscle and heart for at least 15 months. ASA was continuously secreted into plasma without development of antibodies against ASA. Global gene transfer into the brain and spinal cord (SC), across the BBB, and long-term ASA expression in the central nervous system were detected in treated mice. Significant inhibition of the accumulation of sulfatide (Sulf) in the brain and cervical SC was confirmed by Alcian blue staining and biochemical analysis of the Sulf content. In a behavior test, treated mice showed a greater ability to traverse narrow balance beams than untreated mice. These data clearly demonstrate that MLD mice model can be effectively treated through neonatal systemic injection of ssAAV9/ASA.

Abstract
Tropical soils are particularly vulnerable to fertility losses due to their low capacity to retain organic matter and mineral nutrients. This urges the development of new agricultural practices to manage mineral nutrients and organic matter in a more sustainable way while relying less on fertilizer inputs. Two methods pertaining to ecological engineering and agroecology have been tested with some success: (1) the addition of biochar to the soil, and (2) the maintenance of higher earthworm densities. However, modern crop varieties have been selected to be adapted to agricultural practices and to the soil conditions they lead to and common cultivars might not be adapted to new practices. Using rice as a model plant, we compared the responsiveness to biochar and earthworms of five rice cultivars with contrasted selection histories. These cultivars had contrasted responsivenesses to earthworms, biochar, and the combination of both. The mean relative increase in grain biomass, among all treatments and cultivars, was 94% and 32%, respectively, with and without fertilization. Choosing the best combination of cultivar and treatment led to a more than fourfold increase in this mean benefit (a 437% and a 353% relative increase in grain biomass, respectively, with and without fertilization). Besides, the more rustic cultivar, a local landrace adapted to diverse and difficult conditions, responded the best to earthworms in terms of total biomass, while a modern common cultivar responded the best in term of grain biomass. This suggests that cultivars could be selected to amplify the benefit of biochar- and earthworm-based practices. Overall, selecting new cultivars interacting more closely with soil organisms and soil heterogeneity could increase agriculture sustainability, fostering the positive feedback loop between soils and plants that has evolved in natural ecosystems.

Abstract
The comonomer compositional distribution and thermal and morphological characteristics were investigated for five bacterially synthesized poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) [P(3HB-co-3HV)] samples with 3HV content of 45, 49, 70, 80, and 96 mol %. All these samples were fractionated into many fractions with widely different 3HV content by changing solvent/nonsolvent volume ratio of chloroform/n-heptane mixtures. Bacterial P(3HB-co-3HV) samples investigated in this study were found to have broad comonomer compositional distribution. The tendencies of the fractional precipitation of the P((3HB-co-3HV)s with 3HV content lower than 60 mol % and those with 3HV higher than 80 mol % were found to be contrary. The 3HV content dependences of the thermal properties and crystalline structures were investigated for bacterial poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB)] and a series of compositionally well-fractionated P(3HB-co-3HV) samples with 3HV content ranged from 14 to 98 mol % by DSC, WAXD, and solid-state (13)C NMR. It was found that P(3HB-co-3HV) samples with 3HV content lower than about 47 mol % form the crystalline lattice having the P(3HB) homopolymer type lattice including the 3HV unit as the crystal constituent, and those with a 3HV content higher than about 52 mol % form the crystalline lattice having the P(3HV) homopolymer type lattice including the 3HB units. Thus, P(3HB-co-3HV)s show the crystalline structural change in a very narrow range of 3HV content.

Abstract
We evaluated a new restricted access media (RAM) precolumn for direct analysis of drugs in plasma using a column switching HPLC system. The new RAM material was prepared by the modification of the external surface of porous silica with hydrophilic methylcellulose (MC), followed by modification of the internal surface with octadecylsilane (ODS). The external surface of the MC-immobilized ODS silica material (MC-ODS) suppressed the adsorption of proteins, while the internal surface of MC-ODS retained various types of drugs, such as ketoprofen, propranolol, caffeine and atenolol in plasma samples. In addition, MC-ODS allowed direct analysis of drugs in a 1000-microL plasma sample to monitor trace amounts of analytes contained. Reduced efficiency and clogging of the MC-ODS precolumn and/or the analytical column were not observed even after the repetitive injection of plasma sample up to 40 mL. Our results indicated that the MC-ODS precolumn could be used in pharmacodynamic and clinical studies.

Abstract
FTIR spectra were obtained for several different states of trehalose including dihydrate crystal, anhydrous form II (designated by Gil, A. M.; Belton, P. S.; Felix V. Spectrochim. Acta 1996, A52, 1649-1659), anhydrate crystal, dried melt, amorphous solid and aqueous solution. From the observation of the symmetric and antisymmetric stretch vibrations of the glycosidic linkage, it is found that this sugar assumes at least three types of backbone conformations. Among them, the conformation with C(2) symmetry is characterized as 'open state', which means that the sugar easily absorbs water molecules. The conformation of the sugars in anhydrous form II and in freeze-dried trehalose is shown to be in the open state. Next, the hygroscopic properties of the anhydrate, form II and the amorphous solid are compared based on their IR spectra. Interestingly, form II alone is converted to the original dihydrate in a week under mild environmental-like conditions: relative humidity of 40% and room temperature. These results suggest the possibility that form II plays a role in avoiding the devitrification of the sugar glass. Finally, we discuss the role of form II in preserving freeze-dried biomaterials.

Abstract
A new analytical method employing liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) with a column-switching system was developed for quantitative determination of leukotriene E4 (LTE4) in human urine. A column-switching system using a trapping column, which concentrates the analyte and removes salts and other water-soluble contaminants, allowed direct injection of human urine. Because simultaneously eluted endogenous contaminants suppressed the ionization efficiency of LTE4, good liquid chromatographic separation was very important for establishing this method, notwithstanding the high selectivity of MS/MS. The calibration curve was linear over the range from 10 to 3000 pg/mL, and the method showed good accuracy and precision. This method should therefore be very useful for determination of LTE4 amounts in human urine in studies on leukotriene metabolism and the efficacy of antileukotriene drugs.

Abstract
Surfactants suppress the electrospray ionization (ESI) of various compounds. Here we demonstrate that fluorinated surfactants such as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOSA) could be employed for ESI-MS without a significant decrease in sensitivity. Both PFOA and PFOSA could be applied to the analysis of ionic and nonionic compounds by micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC)/ESI-MS, although the migration window was limited. Furthermore, in HPLC/ESI-MS, PFOA could function as a paired ion for enzymatically digested peptides as well as sulfonamides and significant effects of PFOA on the signal peak shape, retention times, and sensitivity of the analytes were observed compared to those of trifluoroacetic acid or sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). In addition, PFOA was applied to protein analysis by ESI-MS, and superior sensitivity was noted, compared to other surfactants such as octylglucoside, dodecylglucoside, and SDS. Although 21% of the original signal was observed in the presence of 1% PFOA, this surfactant could be easily removed by evaporation, which resulted in the recovery of 96% of the original signal. Because these fluorinated surfactants could also be used for solubilization, extraction, and disaggregation of proteins, they should greatly expand the applicability of the ESI-MS to the biological problems of proteins.

Abstract
Perfect control of electroosmotic flow (EOF) was achieved by dovetailing successive multiple ionic-polymer layer (SMIL) coated capillaries. The direction and magnitude of the EOF was perfectly controllable over the pH range 2-13. Zone diffusion was not observed, even if the inner wall of the dovetailed capillary was discontinuous, or if the sample zone passed through the connected part of the capillary because the RSDs of migration time, theoretical plates, symmetry factor and S/N of the marker were almost the same when seamless capillary and dovetailed capillary were compared. The dovetailed capillary was applied to cyclodextrin modified capillary zone electrophoresis. The control of the EOF enabled us to control both the resolution and the migration order of the enantiomers. The migration time was also controllable and, therefore, the best condition between separation and migration time could be determined by controlling the EOF. Partial filling affinity electrokinetic chromatography with a protein used as a chiral selector was also studied. The migration of the pseudostationary phase was controllable by EOF, and detection of the solute at 214 nm was possible. Therefore, the EOF-controlled dovetailed capillary has great potential to expand the application of the separation technique.

Abstract
A novel method for electrophoretic mobility-assisted identifications of proteins, using capillary electrophoresis/mass spectrometry (CE/MS) under methanolic conditions, was developed. The number of functional groups of the enzymatic digest peptides was estimated from a single run CE/MS analysis and utilized as an additional tag for database searching in addition to the mass map of the peptides. The additional amino acid information thus obtained can improve the confidence level of the protein identification. The database searching software algorithm ProFound was modified to accept the tag, based on this new concept. In this study, optimization of the CE/MS conditions for the estimation of basic functional groups was performed as an example. An accurate value of the number of such functional groups was obtained from CE characteristics when methanolic buffer (methanol/formic acid/water = 60:20:20) was used, via an excellent correlation (r = 0.997) between the number of functional groups of the peptides and [MW((2/3))]. The mass spectrometry sensitivity was also improved when using the methanolic buffer in comparison with that obtained using aqueous 1% formic acid buffer. The identification of a protein of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which was separated by two-dimensional electrophoresis, was performed using the methanolic buffer in combination with sheathless nanoelectrospray CE/MS. A protein spot that had not been identified by MALDI-TOFMS and LC/MS/MS was successfully identified using this new method.

Abstract
Lipophilicity scales were characterized by an approach using vectors provided from solvation energy descriptors (SED) of solutes such as an excess molar refraction, the dipolarity/polarizability, the hydrogen-bond acidity, the basicity, and the McGowan characteristic volume. The five components of the SED vector were obtained from the coefficients of the five SED terms of the linear solvation energy relationship (LSER) equation for the lipophilicity scales. The analogy between two lipophilicity scales was expressed as the angle between the two SED vectors, while the difference in the contribution of the five independent SEDs to these two lipophilicity scales was quantified by the difference of the unit vectors of the SED vectors. These approaches were applied to several lipophilicity scales measured using microemulsions, micelles, an immobilized artificial membrane column, and an octanol-water system. As a result, the quantitative classification of these scales was successfully carried out, and the difference in the scales was well characterized. In addition, this vector approach was extended to the estimation of the contribution of each constituent of the microemulsions to the lipophilicity scale. Furthermore, some biological parameters such as skin permeability and the distribution between blood and brain could be predicted by the summation of the SED vectors obtained from the chromatographic systems. These results suggest that complex biological systems can be expressed quantitatively by simple chemical models with their SED vectors.

Abstract
Lipophilicity scales were characterized by an approach using vectors provided from solvation energy descriptors (SED) of solutes such as an excess molar refraction, the dipolarity/polarizability, the hydrogen-bond acidity, the basicity, and the McGowan characteristic volume. The five components of the SED vector were obtained from the coefficients of the five SED terms of the linear solvation energy relationship (LSER) equation for the lipophilicity scales. The analogy between two lipophilicity scales was expressed as the angle between the two SED vectors, while the difference in the contribution of the five independent SEDs to these two lipophilicity scales was quantified by the difference of the unit vectors of the SED vectors. These approaches were applied to several lipophilicity scales measured using microemulsions, micelles, an immobilized artificial membrane column, and an octanol-water system. As a result, the quantitative classification of these scales was successfully carried out, and the difference in the scales was well characterized. In addition, this vector approach was extended to the estimation of the contribution of each constituent of the microemulsions to the lipophilicity scale. Furthermore, some biological parameters such as skin permeability and the distribution between blood and brain could be predicted by the summation of the SED vectors obtained from the chromatographic systems. These results suggest that complex biological systems can be expressed quantitatively by simple chemical models with their SED vectors.

Abstract
It is well known that yeast cells survive environmental stresses such as desiccation and freezing and there is evidence that these phenomena may be related to the presence of trehalose in the cells. However, the molecular mechanism by which trehalose might exert an influence on cell functions remains unknown. In this report, thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis were used to estimate the amount of bound water in yeast cells. It is shown that when the trehalose content is greater than 2-3% of the cell dry weight, the amount of bound water is drastically decreased and the viability of the dried cells is increased. This implies that a major portion of the bound water is replaced by trehalose. In addition, measurements of the NMR spin-lattice relaxation time of the intracellular water protons show that trehalose acts as a water-structuring agent in hydrated yeast cells. This dual role is essential for high resistance to water stress in yeast cells.

Abstract
We investigated the relationship between the two forms of rabies virus P protein, a non-catalytic subunit of rabies virus RNA polymerase. The two displayed different electrophoretic mobilities as 37- and 40-kDa polypeptides, hence termed as p37 and p40, respectively. Double labeling experiments with [3H]leucine and [32P]orthophosphate demonstrated that p40 was much more phosphorylated than p37. Treatment of the virion proteins with alkaline phosphatase eliminated only p40, and not 37-kDa polypeptide. The p37 was a major product of the P gene, and was accumulated in the infected cell and incorporated into the virion. On the other hand, p40 was apparently detected only in the virion, and little detected in the cells. Treatment of infected cells with okadaic acid, however, resulted in significant accumulation of p40 in the cell, suggesting that p40 was continuously produced in the cell but dephosphorylated quickly. We detected both 37- and 40-kDa products in P cDNA-transfected animal cells, while only a 37-kDa product was produced in Escherichia coli. Incubation of 37-kDa products from E. coli with the lysates of animal cells in vitro resulted in the production of a 40-kDa product, which was also shown to be suppressed by the heparin. From these results, it is suggested that p40 is produced by the hyperphosphorylation of a 37-kDa polypeptide, which depends on certain heparin-sensitive cellular enzyme(s) and occurs even in the absence of the other viral gene products, and that p40 is reverted quickly to p37 in the infected cells, probably being dependent on some virus-induced factor(s).

Abstract
The cholyl-adenylate, covalently bound 3alpha, 7alpha, 12alpha-trihydroxy-5beta-cholanoic acid (cholic acid) with adenosine 5'-monophosphate having an acid anhydride linkage, has been characterized by means of liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry in an incubation mixture with a rat liver microsomal fraction. The authentic specimen of cholyl-adenylate was synthesized using the carbodiimide method and the structure was confirmed by MS and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. After incubation of cholic acid with a hepatic microsomal fraction in the presence of adenosine 5'-triphosphate, bile acids were extracted and purified by solid-phase extraction on a Sep-Pak C18 cartridge and then subjected to a LC/MS analysis, where cholyl-adenylate and a CoA thioester of cholic acid (cholyl-CoA) were monitored with characteristic negative ions of m/z 736 and 577, respectively. Cholyl-adenylate was definitely characterized and preferential biotransformation into the acyl-adenylate prior to formation of cholyl-CoA was noted. The nonenzymatic formation of taurine-conjugated cholic acid by incubation of cholyl-adenylate with taurine in a buffer solution was also demonstrated.

Abstract
A coated capillary modified with a cationic polymer was developed by using a novel coating procedure, successive multiple ionic-polymer (SMIL) coating. The SMIL coating was achieved by first attaching the cationic polymer to the capillary inner wall, and then the anionic polymer to the cationic polymer layer, and finally the cationic polymer to the anionic polymer layer. The stability of Polybrene (PB)-modified capillary made by SMIL coating was remarkably improved in comparison with a conventional PB-modified capillary. It endured during 600 replicate analyses and also showed strong stability against 1 M NaOH and 0.1 M HCl. The relative standard deviation of the run-to-run, day-to-day, and capillary-to-capillary coating was all below 1%, and good reproducibilities were obtained. The PB-modified capillary made by SMIL coating was applied to the basic protein analyses. It gave good performances for the protein analyses even when the pH of the electrolyte was near the isoelectric point (pI) of the protein. In addition, 0.1 M NaOH rinse prior to the sample injection allowed the reproducible analysis of a highly adsorptive sample such as plasma because the adsorbed sample could be flushed out of the capillary. Besides protein analyses, an efficient analysis of the cationic drugs by capillary electrophoresis/mass spectrometry (CE/MS) was also possible.

Abstract
The structure of the N-linked carbohydrate chains of peptide isomerase from the venom of the funnel web spider (Agelenopsis aperta) has been analyzed. Carbohydrates were released from peptide isomerase by hydrazinolysis and reductively aminated with 2-aminopyridine. The fluorescent derivatives were purified by phenol/chloroform extraction, followed by size-exclusion HPLC. The structure of the purified pyridylamino (PA-) carbohydrate chains were analyzed by a combination of two-dimensional HPLC mapping, sugar composition analysis, sequential exoglycosidase digestions, and mass spectrometry. The peptide isomerase contains six kinds of N-linked carbohydrate chains of truncated high-mannose type, with a fucose alpha 1-6 linked to the reducing N-acetylglucosamine in approximately 80% of them.

Abstract
A stable modification of the inner wall of a fused silica capillary was established by a simple coating procedure, successive multiple ionic-polymer layer (SMIL) coating. An anionic polymer was tightly fixed to the capillary wall by the SMIL coating, in which a cationic polymer was sandwiched between the anionic polymer and the uncoated fused silica capillary by noncovalent bonding. The SMIL-coated capillary showed a long lifetime. The endurance of the SMIL-coated capillary was more than 100 runs, and it was also tolerant to organic solvents, 1 M NaOH, and a surfactant. The coating efficiency did not depend on capillary sources, and the relative standard deviation of capillary-to-capillary reproducibility was less than 1%. In this study, dextran sulfate (DS) was used as the anionic polymer, and Polybrene was used as the cationic polymer for SMIL modification. The DS-modified capillary (SMIL-DS capillary) exhibited a pH-independent electroosmotic flow (EOF) from anode to cathode in the pH range of 2-11. The SMIL-DS capillary showed good performance for acidic protein analyses under physiological conditions (pH 7.4). Also, the presence of EOF under acidic conditions permitted new applications. Simultaneous separations of cationic, anionic, and neutral amino acids were achieved by capillary zone electrophoresis, and separations of cresol isomers were achieved by micellar electrokinetic chromatography under the acidic conditions. The SMIL-DS capillary was also useful for fast and precise determination of the pKa of acidic functional groups.

Abstract
The release behavior of phosphorothioate oligodeoxynucleotide, 5'-GCCGAGGTCCATGTCGTACGC-3' (ODN), from poly(lactic acid-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) implant was studied. The pillar shape implant was fabricated by the heating mold method. About 20% of ODN were released initially, and the subsequent pseudo-zero-order release lasted for more than 20 d from a PLGA10000 implant loaded with 8.4% ODN in phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4. The duration of ODN release did not depend on the molecular weights of PLGA, and pseudo-zero-order release may be achieved by changing the loaded amount of ODN in fabrication of the PLGA implant. Almost the same release profiles were obtained in the pH range of 7.2 to 7.6, which is known as the physiological pH of a vitreous body. Furthermore, the duration of intact ODN release in bovine vitreous was found. The implant in the present study may possibly be applicable to intravitreal implantation for the treatment of ocular disease.

Abstract
Sphingolipid metabolites ceramide, sphingomyelin, sphingosine, psycosine, sphingosylphosphorylcholine, and dimethylsphingosine were separated and simulataneously quantitated by liquid chromatography/ionspray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/ MS). The use of glassware throughout minimized losses due to adsorption and the pretreatment of this method consisted of simple liquid-liquid extraction procedure with a mixture of chloroform and methanol. After separation on a short C18 silica column eluted in a gradient mode, the metabolites were detected by MS/ MS. This assay allows simultaneously quantification of these metabolites over a range of at least 0.1 to 100 ng/ 10(6) cells. The LC/MS/MS analyses took 10 to 15 min per sample and we could examine up to 50 samples per day. We also detected endogenous sphingosine 1-phosphate in HL-60 cells. The utility of the method was demonstrated by examining changes in metabolites levels in HL-60 cells after treatment with sphingomyelinase. It was found that sphingomyelinase from Bacillus cereus may have selectivity for acyl chain length.

Abstract
A high-performance liquid chromatographic method using the column-switching technique was developed for the simultaneous determination of E3810 and its metabolites (M1-M4). An avidin column was used for in-line pretreatment to exclude plasma proteins, allowing direct injection of a large volume of plasma. A flavoprotein-conjugated chiral stationary phase in a gradient elution mode then gave baseline separation of E3810 and the four metabolites. The enantiomers of E3810 and M3 were also separated. The method is simple, rapid, accurate, and precise. Since no extraction procedure is employed, which might involve different recoveries of different metabolites, no internal standard is necessary. The method was applied to analyze E3810 and its metabolites in plasma after intravenous injection of the drug in beagle dogs.

Abstract
A cationic peptide amphiphile comprising an L-alanine residue interposed between a charged head group and a double-chain segment, N,N-dihexadecyl-N alpha-[6-(trimethylammonio)- hexanoyl]-L-alaninamide bromide (NC5Ala2C16), was synthesized and used to prepare sonicated liposomes. We examined the efficiency of this liposome in gene transfer according to the transient expression of chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT). This cationic liposome reagent facilitates efficient DNA transfection in COS-7 cells. We determined the optimum conditions for NC5Ala2C16 liposome-mediated transfection. The optimal amounts of the amphiphile and plasmid DNA were determined to be about 100 micrograms and 10 micrograms per 35-mm dish, respectively. The activity of this liposome was greater than that of commercial reagents, lipofectin, and N-[1-(2,3-dioleoyloxy)propyl]-N,N,N-trimethyl-ammonium methylsulfate (DOTAP), and it was less toxic than lipofectin and DOTAP in COS-7 cells.

Abstract
Sodium 2-[[4-(3-methoxypropoxy)-3-methylpyridin-2-yl]methylsulfinyl ]- 1H-benzimidazole (E3810) and omeprazole inhibit gastric acid secretion through inhibition of the activity of H+, K(+)-ATPase present in parietal cell membrane vesicles, by chemical modification of SH groups in the enzyme molecule. In order to clarify the mechanism of the chemical modification, reaction products of E3810 and omeprazole with 2-mercaptoethanol under acidic conditions (pH 3, 4, 5, 6) were isolated by HPLC, and subjected to structural analysis by UV, 1H-NMR and mass spectrometry. E3810 and omeprazole appeared to undergo two kinds of reactions, affording disulfide-type products (type I reaction) and sulfide-type products (type II reaction). The rates of these reactions were determined by HPLC, and the stability of the products in the presence and absence of glutathione was investigated. In the case of E3810, type I reaction was found to proceed faster than type II reaction at every pH value studied. The type I reaction of E3810 was faster than that of omeprazole. The rate of type I reaction decreased at pH 5 and 6, especially for omeprazole, and the contribution of type II reaction increased as the pH of the reaction mixture was increased. The sulfide-type modification products were stable, whereas the formation of the disulfide-type modification products was reversed by the action of endogenous SH compounds such as glutathione. These results suggest that higher inhibitory activity of E3810 against gastric acid secretion and faster recovery of the enzyme activity after inhibition by E3810 can be expected, as compared with those of omeprazole.

Abstract
An enantioselective high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of E3810, a new anti-ulcer agent, in Beagle dog plasma and rat plasma has been developed. After extraction from plasma with ethyl acetate, E3810 enantiomers were measured by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography on a Chiralcel OD-R column. The enantiomers were detected by ultraviolet absorbance detection at 290 nm. The recoveries of E3810 enantiomers and internal standard were greater than 91%. The calibration curves were linear from 0.03 to 20 micrograms/ml for Beagle dog plasma and from 0.1 to 100 micrograms/ml for rat plasma. The limits of quantification of both enantiomers were 0.03 micrograms/ml for Beagle dog plasma and 0.1 micrograms/ml for rat plasma. The intra- and inter-day accuracy and precision data showed good reproducibility of the method. The assay was applied for the analysis of E3810 enantiomers in plasma after intravenous administration of racemic E3810 to Beagle dogs and rats. This method should be very useful for enantioselective pharmacokinetic studies of E3810.

Abstract
A procedure is described for the fully automated quantitative determination of platelet-activating factor (PAF) using liquid chromatography/fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (LC/FAB-MS) with two types of column-switching techniques. Various parameters in LC/FAB-MS were optimized, and the use of a microbore column allowed highly selective detection of PAF. A column-switching system was incorporated to minimize band broadening and to increase the permissible injection volume. Analysis of authentic PAF indicated that the limit of quantitation was at the low picogram level (about 50 pg/ml). Another system using both a strong cation-exchange column and an ODS column in tandem was developed for the analysis of PAF in blood samples. These methods were validated with standard samples and applied to the determination of PAF in human polymorphonuclear neutrophils stimulated by addition of a calcium ionophore and in human blood.

Abstract
E2020 (1-benzyl-4-[(5,6-dimethoxy-1-indanon)-2-yl]methylpiperidine hydrochloride) is currently being developed as a treatment for senile dementia of the Alzheimer type. Its mechanism of action is to increase central cholinergic activity by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in the brain. In this study, the kinetics of the inhibitory action of E2020 on AChE was examined in comparison with its derivatives (2A1050 and 2A1034) and the reference compound tetrahydroaminoacridine (THA) all of which have a similar action. Analysis of the data using Lineweaver-Burk plots shows that inhibition by the test compounds fell into the category of mixed type. Inhibitor dissociation constants for the free enzyme (KI) and acetyl-enzyme (KI) of E2020 are one or two orders of magnitude lower than those of 2A1050, 2A1034 and THA. These findings indicate the strong inhibitory effect of E2020 on AChE.

Abstract
High-performance liquid chromatography with column switching and mass spectrometry (MS) was applied to the on-line determination and resolution of the enantiomers of E2020 (acetylcholinesterase inhibitor) in plasma. This system employs two avidin columns and fast atom bombardment (FAB)-MS. A plasma sample was injected directly into an avidin trapping column (10 mm x 4.0 mm I.D.). The plasma protein was washed out from the trapping column immediately while E2020 was retained. After the column-switching procedure, E2020 was separated enantioselectivity in an avidin analytical column. The separated E2020 enantiomers were specifically detected by FAB-MS without interference from metabolites of E2020 and plasma constituents. The limit of quantification for each enantiomer of E2020 in plasma was 1.0 ng/ml and the intra- and inter-assay relative standard deviations for the method were less than 5.2%. The assay was validated for enantioselective pharmacokinetic studies in the dog.

Abstract
Dissociation constants (pKaS) of acidic, basic, and amphoteric pharmaceuticals were exactly determined by capillary electrophoresis. A general equation for use in calculation of pKaS from solute mobilities observed at different pHs was derived to be suitable for a multivalent compound with close pKaS such as angiotensins, which are bioactive octa- or decapeptides. The obtained pKa values were highly consistent with the values determined by conventional methods. For verapamil, the detection limit was 9.8 microM (49 fmol), the total analysis time was 12 min, and the relative standard deviation of the obtained pKa value was 0.11%. This method was also applicable to a mixture of two components, e.g., a bioactive compound and the prodrug, because they have different mobilities and are separated from each other.

Abstract
Micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) was used to measure hydrophobicity of 18 aromatic compounds. The capacity factors, which are proportional to the micelle-water distribution coefficients, were closely correlated with the octanol-water partition coefficients. The addition of Brij 35 to the charged micelle was effective in improving the correlation because the surface charges of the micelle were shielded.

Abstract
A new column-switching method for analysis of drug enantiomers in plasma has been developed with liquid chromatography-frit fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry in combination with a chiral resolution column, which consists of conalbumin (egg-white glycoprotein) immobilized on silica gel and can be used in the reversed-phase separation mode. This method makes it possible to inject a large volume of deproteinized plasma and obtain resolution of drug enantiomers with high sensitivity. The optimum mobile phase, including a non-volatile buffer such as phosphate buffer, for separation of drugs from a large amount of endogenous compounds can be used, because of inclusion of a trapping column with a desalting function. This method is very simple and rapid, and should be very powerful in studies requiring high-sensitivity analysis with chiral separation of drugs from biological samples such as plasma.

Abstract
A truncated herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 glycoprotein D (t-gD) gene was fused to the human interleukin-2 (IL-2) gene (t-gD-IL-2 gene) and introduced into mouse myeloma Sp2/0 cells. The gene product, t-gD-IL-2, secreted from the cells was immunoprecipitated with five monoclonal antibodies specific for native gD. Purified t-gD-IL-2 supported the growth of IL-2-dependent cells, with a specific activity almost comparable to that of recombinant human IL-2. Mice immunized with t-gD-IL-2 in an adjuvant-free form showed superior anti-HSV antibody responses, and were completely protected against HSV challenge, whereas immunization with t-gD adsorbed onto aluminum hydroxide (alum) partially failed to prevent the virus infection. The high immunogenicity of t-gD-IL-2 was due to the biological activity of the fused IL-2 rather than to a hapten-carrier effect of the IL-2 moiety, because mice primed with t-gD-IL-2 showed delayed-type hypersensitivity against stimulation with gD, but not against that with IL-2 antigen, and because a booster immunization with t-gD-IL-2 extensively augmented the response of anti-gD antibody, but not that of the anti-human IL-2 antibody. The serological half-life of IL-2 activity in mice injected with t-gD-IL-2 was prolonged to about four times that of rIL-2. However, when t-gD-IL-2 was co-administered with human albumin (HSA), the mouse anti-HSA antibody response was slightly enhanced.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
A new chiral stationary phase using conalbumin (from chicken egg white) was developed for high-performance liquid chromatography. Chiral resolution of racemic azelastine, an antiallergic drug, was achieved on a conalbumin-conjugated silica gel column. The effects of the pH, the concentration of organic solvents and salts in the mobile phase, and the temperature on the capacity factor and resolution of racemic azelastine were examined. This column shows good stability and can separate optical isomers with an aqueous mobile phase. It should be very useful in studies on pharmacokinetics and in clinical chemistry.

Abstract
Administration of latamoxef and cefoperazone, reported to act like disulfiram in humans, caused a depression of mitochondrial low Km aldehyde dehydrogenase (low Km ALDH) activity in rats. In addition, a marked increase of blood acetaldehyde concentration was observed when rats were given alcohol orally at 18 hours after administration of these cephalosporins. However, mitochondrial low Km ALDH activity and blood acetaldehyde level were not altered by repeated administration of 300 mg and 1,000 mg of cefclidin (CFCL, E1040) or E1077 per kg. From these results, it was concluded that neither CFCLn or E1077 affected the alcohol metabolizing-system.

Abstract
Anti-ubenimex antibody was produced by immunization of rabbits with ubenimex-bovine serum albumin (BSA) conjugate which was synthesized by coupling ubenimex directly to BSA using 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethyl-aminopropyl)carbodiimide. The resulting antibody exhibited little cross-reactivity with p-hydroxyubenimex or (2S,3R)AHPA, (2S,3R)-3-amino-2-hydroxy-4-phenylbutanoic acid present in human serum as metabolites. Ubenimex in human serum could be measured selectively without prior drug extraction and purification. The standard curve prepared using the present assay method gave good linearity in the range 0.25-25 ng per assay tube. The detection limit was 125 pg per assay tube. The concentrations of ubenimex in human serum determined by the present method were in good agreement with those obtained by GC-SIM. The present method with its high sensitivity and specificity may be a valuable tool for the study of the pharmacokinetics of ubenimex.

Abstract
High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using a column-switching technique has been applied to the on-line determination and resolution of the enantiomers of ketoprofen (KPF) as an acidic model compound. The system incorporates a mobile phase conversion stage (LC-2), which has a dilution tube and a trapping column, between the achiral chromatography stage (LC-1) and the chiral chromatography stage (LC-3). KPF in plasma was separated from plasma components and was determined with the aid of an internal standard in LC-1. The eluate containing KPF was selectively transferred to LC-2, where the eluate was adequately diluted with a new mobile phase by using the dilution tube to reduce the influence of the mobile phase from LC-1, and KPF was reconcentrated on the trapping column. Then the KPF enantiomers were resolved in LC-3 after column-switching. This system is accurate and rapid compared with conventional HPLC. Very high sensitivity could be achieved with our system when a microbore ovomucoid column was employed in LC-3. Incorporation of LC-2 allows the most favourable mobile phases for LC-1 and LC-3 to be used independently. This method is greatly superior to usual column-switching HPLC.

Abstract
A new concept in high-performance liquid chromatography supports is proposed for the direct injection analysis of drug enantiomers in plasma. The new supports are designed with disuccinimidyl suberate as a hydrophobic internal region, and avidin protein as a hydrophilic and bulky surface region. Plasma proteins are excluded by the avidin phase and are eluted immediately from the column, whereas low-molecular-mass analytes can penetrate the surface region and interact with disuccinimidyl suberate. Enantiomers interact differentially with avidin, and are thereby separated. This column was used in reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic analysis to determine ketoprofen enantiomers in plasma by direct injection. The recovery of racemic drug from plasma was almost 100%.

Abstract
An on-line simultaneous assay for the enantiomers of verapamil (VA) and its three metabolites in plasma was developed with column-switching HPLC. This system consists of an ovomucoid protein chiral stationary phase coupled to an achiral reversed-phase column via a dilution tube and a trapping column. The reversed-phase column was used to separate and quantitate VA, its metabolites, and internal standard, without interference from plasma components. Then each of the eluates containing VA and its metabolites was selectively switched into a sampling loop, and the samples were transferred successively to the trapping column after dilution with a new mobile phase. After concentration on the trapping column, each sample was passed to the ovomucoid column, where the enantiomers were resolved and quantitated. The mobile phases for both HPLC columns were independently optimized and the diffusion of the sample during column switching was minimized. This method was shown to be efficient and reliable.

Abstract
An ovomucoid-conjugated polymer column was prepared for the liquid chromatographic resolution of racemic compounds. The column showed strong retention of acidic solutes, a characteristic attributed to the structure of the stationary phase support gel. Although the efficiency of the column was lower than that of an ovomucoid-conjugated silica gel column, enantiospecific chlorprenaline determination in plasma was achieved with solute amounts from 1.0 ng to 0.1 microgram.
