      Chiral separations and quantitative analysis of optical isomers on cellulose tribenzoate plates
      M. DEL BUBBA*, A. CINCINELLI, L. CHECCHINI, L. LEPRI (*Dep. of Chem., Univ. of Florence, Via della Lastruccia 3, 50019 Sesto Fiorentino, Florence, Italy)

      J. Chromatogr. A 1218 (19), 2737-2744 (2011). Investigation of new cellulose tribenzoate/gypsum layers in the ratio up to 8:1 (w/w) for the chiral resolution of closely related aromatic ketones (e.g. tetralones and indanones), alcohols (e.g. benzhydrols) and racemates or enantiomers of other compound classes (e.g. dinitrophenyl amino acids). 16 racemates were baseline or partially resolved by eluting with methanol or 2-propanol/water mixtures on 4:1 (w/w) layers among 22 investigated compounds. The study provided better understanding of the retention and resolution mechanisms on this chiral stationary phase, however, some results were unexpected and confirmed the complexity of enantioseparation mechanisms. Evidence from experimental tests is necessary. Quantification of the investigated compounds by densitometry in the visible region of cellulose tribenzoate/gypsum plates after their exposure to iodine vapours.

Quantitative determination by absorbance measurement at absorption maxima of each dye. The hRf values of compounds (1) - (13) were 61, 54, 48, 29, 18, 11, 69, 63, 56, 48, 39, 18 and 11, respectively. Visual detection limits were 3 ppm for most dyes in either matrix, 5 ppm for Sudan I, 13 ppm for Disperse Orange, and 7 ppm for Butter Yellow. The limits of detection by densitometry were lower by a factor of 2 for all dyes and values of 1-3 ppm were reached except for Disperse Orange with a limit of detction of 7 ppm. Average recoveries ranged from 95.0-110.8 %. The HPTLC method is successfully applied in the routine control of illegal dyes in food by surveillance authorities.

Presentation of a novel “target constituent knock-out” strategy applied for preliminary screening of antibacterial constituents in Calculus bovis. The strategy contained the following steps: 1) the single constituents (A-F) in C. bovis samples were knocked out by TLC on silica gel with toluene - acetic acid - water 30:25:2, detection under UV 366 nm; 2) the knocked-out constituents were identified by UPLC–ELSD; 3) the antibacterial activities of the knocked-out constituents and C. bovis samples on Staphylococcus aureus were evaluated by microcalorimetry combined with principal component analysis; 4) the activities of the knocked-out constituents and the total extract of C. bovis, also the interaction properties between these single constituents and the total extract were elucidated. The strategy proved to be useful for screening active constituents and elucidating the multi-component interactions in C. bovis, and helpful in understanding the pharmacodynamic actions and the quality control of traditional Chinese medicines.
