N-Acetylneuraminic acid (NANA) has been reported to react with hydrogen peroxide in vitro to produce 4-(acetylamino)-2,4-dideoxy-D-glycero-D-galacto-octonic acid (ADOA). We labeled NANA and ADOA with 4-(N,N-dimethylaminosulfonyl)-7-piperazino-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (DBD-PZ) for simultaneous detection. The derivatized NANA and ADOA were separated using hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) with fluorescence detection. The calibration curves of DBD-PZ-derivatized NANA and ADOA showed good linearity in the range of 221 fmol to 1.5 nmol, and 44 fmol to 1.5 nmol, respectively. This analytical method has high specificity and is useful for the detection of NANA and ADOA in saliva and serum.
Separation of europium (Eu 3+ ) and yttrium (Y 3+ ), using a solvent impregnated resin (SIR) containing 2-ethylhexyl phosphonic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester, coated by water-soluble chitosan crosslinked by glutaraldehyde, was investigated. Coating of the SIR successfully suppressed leakage of the extractant during adsorption processing. Adsorption of Eu 3+ with both coated and uncoated SIRs was progressed with Langmuir mechanism, and the maximum adsorption amount of Eu 3+ at equilibrium pH = 2.27 was 0.294 mol/kg with coated SIR and 0.310 mol/kg with uncoated SIR. Decrease in the maximum adsorption amount by coating SIR with polymer can be suppressed rather than the other coated SIRs previously reported. The coated SIR was then applied to column separation of Eu 3+ and Y
3+. Complete separation of the metals could be achieved by gradient elution with a gradual increase in the concentration of a dilute nitric acid. The coated SIR could also be reused for repeated adsorption-elution processing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
