      Phytochem. Anal. doi:10.1002/pca.3265 (2023). HPTLC of antidiabetic compounds in the leaves of Annona cherimola on silica gel with chloroform - propanol - ethyl acetate 21:2:2. Detection of α-amylase inhibitors by spraying with 4 mL of an enzyme solution (6 U/mL) in acetate buffer (0.5 M, pH 6.9), followed by incubation at 37 °C for 10 min, dipping into a 1 % starch solution for 3 s and incubation at 37 °C for 15 min. Inhibitory zones were detected by dipping into a Gram's iodine solution. Detection of α-glucosidase by spraying with 4 mL enzymatic solution (5 U/mL α-glucosidase in phosphate buffer), followed by incubation at 37 °C for 10 min. The enzyme cleaved the substrate producing α-naphthol, which was detected by spraying with 4 mL of an aqueous solution of Fast Blue B salt. Further analysis of active zones by UHPLC-DAD coupled with detector electrospray ionisation tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS).

       J. Pharmacogn. Phytochem. 12(1), 6-14 (2023). TLC silica gel layers were used to monitor the purification through column chromatography (CC) of a chloroform fraction of the methanolic root bark extract of Rauvolfia vomitoria (Apocynaceae). Mobile phases were petroleum ether – ethyl acetate 4:1 (MP1), dichloromethane – methanol 20:1 (MP2), and dichloromethane – methanol 15:1 (MP3). Visualization under UV 254 nm. Preparative TLC on thicker silica gel was performed on two subfractions: (A) with dichloromethane – methanol 100:7 for the isolation of the methyl esters of eudesmic acid and of trimethoxycinnamic acid (hRF values 35 and 28, respectively, in MP1); (B) with MP2 for the isolation of an indole alkaloid: kumujan B (= 1-carbomethoxy-β-carboline, hRF value 40 in MP2). Other indole alkaloids were isolated through CC: ajmaline, mauensine and reserpine (hRF values 35, 13 and 47, respectively, in MP3).

      A novel agarase, Gaa16B, isolated from the marine bacterium Gilvimarinus agarilyticus JEA5, and the moisturizing effect of its partial hydrolysis products
      Y. LEE, E. JO, Y.-J. LEE, T.-Y. EOM, Y. GANG, Y.-H. KANG, S. D. MARASINGHE, S. A. HETTIARACHCHI, D.-H. KANG, Chulhong OH* (*Jeju Marine Research Center, Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology, Gujwa-eup, Jeju, Korea; och0101@kiost.ac.kr)

      Marine Drugs 20(1), 2 (2022). Samples were the products of partial vs. complete hydrolysis of agar by rGaa16Bc, a recombinant form of agarase Gaa16B from Gilvimarinus agarilyticus (Cellvibrionaceae) overexpressed in Escherichia coli. D-galactose (G) and its oligomers (neoagarobiose (NA2), neoagarotetraose (NA4), neoagarohexaose (NA6)) were used as standards. TLC on silica gel with n-butanol – acetic acid – water 2:1:1. Visualization by spraying orcinol reagent (50 mg orcine monohydrate in 100 mL acetone and 8 mL sulfuric acid), followed by 10 min heating at 110° C. The observed patterns showed the apparition of NA6 and NA4 among the hydrolytic products already after 20 min reaction, whereas NA4 and NA2 were the main products after over-night complete hydrolysis.

      Planar chromatographic super-hyphenations for rapid dereplication
      Gertrud MORLOCK (Institute of Nutritional Science, Chair of Food Science, and Interdisciplinary Research Center, Justus Liebig University Giessen, 35392 Giessen, Germany, gertrud.morlock@uni-giessen.de)

      Phytochem. Rev. doi.org/10.1007/s11101-022-09844-x (2022). The paper discussed a prioritization approach for dereplication that focuses on the most necessary to discover as a tool to deliver experimental real-world results. The principle of planar chromatographic super-hypenations was discussed, including a workflow that combined chemistry and biology to prioritize the compounds in complex samples. The workflow consisted in 1) parallel screening and separation of multiple complex mixtures using imaging HPTLC, 2) planar multiplex bioassay for non-targeted detection of important active compounds, and 3) heart-cut elution of active zones of interest directly out of the bioautogram into orthogonal HPLC-DAD-ESI-HRMS for targeted characterization. The power of planar multiplex bioassays was described for different applications, and chances and limitations for dereplication were also discussed.

      Investigation of the estrogenic potential of 15 rosé, white and red wines via effect-directed ten-dimensional hyphenation
      T. SCHREINER, Gertrud MORLOCK* (*Institute of Nutritional Science, Chair of Food Science, and Interdisciplinary Research Center, Justus Liebig University Giessen, 35392 Giessen, Germany, gertrud.morlock@uni-giessen.de)

      J. Chromatogr. A. 1690, 463775 (2023). HPTLC of estrogen-like and antiestrogen-like compounds in 15 rosé, white and red wine samples of different origin on RP-18 with n-hexane - ethyl acetate 4:1. Bioassay by dipping into the yeast cell suspension, followed by incubation at 30 °C for 3 h and drying for 4 min. Detection by dipping into 40 mL MUG substrate solution (16 mg MUG in 1 mL dimethyl sulfoxide and 39 mL citrate buffer) for 5 s, followed by incubation at 37 °C for 1 h and drying for 2 min. Detection at FLD 366 nm/ > 400 nm. The 10D hyphenation NP-HPTLC−UV/Vis/FLD–pYAES−heartcut–RP-HPLC–DAD–HRMS/MS allowed the  detection of estrogens as well as antiestrogens in the matrix-rich wine.

      J. Chromatogr. A. 1683, 463522 (2022). HPTLC of powdered root sample of Saussurea costus on silica gel with n-hexane - toluene - tetrahydrofuran 10:1:2. Planar bioluminiscent cytotoxicity assay by dipping into concentrated PBS, followed by removal of excess liquid and adding of human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293T cells expressing ELuc, which uses D-luciferin as the substrate for light emission (cell suspension of 5000 cells/μL). To avoid drying out of the plate, two stripes of paper were added to the side of the chamber, which were wetted with 1.5 mL of bidistilled water. After incubation for 6 h, the HPTLC plate was completely dried under cold air, followed by dipping twice into the respective bioluminescent substrate solution for each cell type. Dose-dependent cytotoxicity activity was calculated for the bioluminescence signal reduction.
