      Rapid synthesis of isoprenoid diphosphates and their isolation in one step using either thin-layer of flash chromatography
      R. KENNEDY KELLER*, R. THOMPSON, (*Dept. Biochem. & Mol. Biol., Univ. South Florida, Coll. Med., Box 7, 12901 N, 30th Street, Tampa, FL 33612-4799, USA)

      J. Chromatogr. 645, 161-167 (1993). Preparative TLC of short-chain (C5-C20) isoprenoid diphosphates on silica with isopropanol - conc. NH3 - water 13:5:1 and 6:3:1. Detection by spraying with either water - anisaldehyde solution ormolybdenum reagent. Also, flash chromatography. From a single TLC plate up to 20 mg pure farnesyl diphosphate can be isolated.

      Flash column chromatograms estimated from thin-layer chromatography data
      J.D. FAIR*, CH.M. KORMOS (*Department of Chemistry, University of Connecticut, 55 North Eagleville Road, Unit 3060, Storrs, CT 06269-3060, USA)

      J. Chromatogr. A 1211 (1-2), 49-54 (2008). Presentation of a spreadsheet that provides information on the amount of silica gel needed, the optimal fraction size, and the degree of separation to be expected before flash chromatography is attempted. Information is based on sample mass and TLC data given. This is the first utility of its kind to accurately estimate the retention volume and band volume of analytes, as well as the fraction numbers expected to contain each analyte, and the resolution between adjacent peaks. The information allows users to select optimal parameters for preparative-scale separations before the flash column itself is attempted; ensuring a successful first separation.

      Investigation of Symphytum cordatum alkaloids by liquid–liquid partitioning, thin-layer chromatography and liquid chromatography - ion trap mass spectrometry
      T. MROCZEK*, Karine NDJOKO-IOSET, K. GLOWNIAK, Agnieszka MIETKIEWICZ-CAPALA, K. HOSTETTMANN (*Department of Pharmacognosy with Medicinal Plants Laboratory, Medical University, 1 Chodzki St., 20-093 Lublin, Poland)

      Anal. Chim. Acta 566 (2), 157-166 (2006). Extraction of pyrrolizidine alkaloids from the alkalised crude extract of Symphytum cordatum (L.) W.K. roots as free tertiary bases and polar N-oxides by one-step liquid–liquid partitioning and pre-fractionation by preparative multiple-development TLC on silica gel with chloroform – methanol – 25 % ammonia 50:5:1. Three alkaloid fractions of different polarities were obtained which showed different retention on silica gel: the most polar N-oxides had the highest retention, the tertiary bases had medium retention, and diesterified N-oxides had the lowest retention. Purification of the former fraction, which was reduced into free bases by sodium hydrosulfite, by liquid-liquid partitioning on Extrelut-NT3 cartridge. Further analysis by HPLC – ion-trap MS.
