      J. SCHELLENBERG, J. REICHERT, M. HARDT, I. KLINGELHÖFER, G. MORLOCK, P. SCHUBERT, M. BIŽIĆ, H.-P. GROSSART, P. KÄMPFER, T. WILKE, Stefanie P. GLAESER* (*Research Centre for BioSystems, Land Use and Nutrition, Institute of Applied Microbiology, Justus Liebig University Giessen, Giessen, Germany; stefanie.glaeser@umwelt.uni-giessen.de)

      Frontiers in Marine Science 7, 266 (2020). Methanol extracts from marine sponge Haliclona cnidata (Chalinidae) submitted to different stresses (antibiotics and/or darkness) were separated on HPTLC silica gel with an automated 15-step gradient based on methanol, dichloromethane and n-hexane. Bioluminescence was recorded after immersing the HPTLC plates into Aliivibrio fischeri suspension. Antibacterial activity and quorum sensing enhancement were analysed on software, and Pearson’s similarity coefficient was applied to generate similarity matrices for cluster analysis (UPGMA, Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Mean). Only slight differences were observed, especially in QS enhanced zones in stressed vs. control cultures.

      Nature - Lab. Invest. 100, 1411–1424 (2020). Samples were chloroform – methanol 1:1 solutions of lipid standards and of liver tissue extracts from wild-type mice (1), from transgenic murine models of hepatic steatosis (2) (mice expressing HBs, hepatitis B virus surface protein), or of cholestasis (3) (mice totally knock-out for the gene of phospholipid translocator ABCB4, ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 4), or of both (4) (hybrids of mice (2) and (3)). HPTLC on silica gel (preheated at 110°C for 15 min) with n-hexane – diethyl ether – acetic acid 20:5:1. (A) For qualitative analysis, visualization under white light after immersion into anisaldehyde 0.5 % (in sulfuric acid – acetic acid – methanol, 1:2:17), followed by heating at 110°C for 9 min. (B) Identification of lipids was confirmed by elution of the zones of interest with methanol from the HPTLC layer through a TLC-MS interface and a filter frit directly to a quadrupole-orbitrap MS (atmospheric pressure chemical ionization, full HR-MS scan in m/z range 100–1000). (C) For quantitative analysis, visualization at UV 366 nm after derivatization by immersion into primuline reagent (primuline 0.5 g/L in acetone – water 4:1); fluorescence was measured at UV 366 nm (mercury lamp, optical filter for wavelengths above 400 nm, scanning slit 6.0 mm × 0.2 mm, speed 20 mm/s). (A) and (B) allowed the separation and detection of cholesterol, cholesteryl oleate, methyl oleate, free fatty acids (FFA, expressed as oleic acid equivalents) and triacylglycerols (TAG, as triolein equivalents) in liver extracts. (C) showed that TAG was decreased and FFA increased in (3) and (4), compared to (1) and (2). Cholesterol and cholesteryl oleate had no significant changes between groups.

BÜCHLER, Annely BRANDT* (*LLH Bee Institute, Landesbetrieb Landwirtschaft Hessen, Kirchhain, Germany; annely.brandt@llh.hessen.de)

      Nature - Sci. Rep. 11, 62 (2021). Samples were isopropylacetate – methanol 3:2 fractions of (1) n-hexane extracts of larvae of Apis mellifica carnica (Apidae) from hives exposed to different concentrations of neonicotinoid pesticide clothianidin in their food, as well as (2) worker jelly adsorbed from brood combs of the same hives on adsorptive filter strips (unused filter strip parts were kept as background control). HPTLC on silica gel with chloroform – methanol – water – ammonia 30:17:2:1 for (1), and with an 8-step gradient based on methanol, chloroform, toluene, and n-hexane for (2, see CBS 105: Optimization of an AMD 2 method for determination of stratum corneum lipids). Visualization at UV 366 nm before and after derivatization by immersion into primuline reagent (primuline 0.5 g/L in acetone – water 4:1). Furthermore, antibacterial activity of (2) was assessed by recording the bioluminescence on the HPTLC plates, neutralized after elution and immersed into Aliivibrio fischeri suspension. Semi-quantitative comparison showed that a higher exposure to clothianidin was correlated with a decrease in lipid composition as well as in antibacterial activity.

      J. of Chromatogr. Sci. 59 (7), 634-641 (2021). TLC of ledipasvir on silica gel with ethylacetate – hexane – acetonitrile – trimethylamine 12:7:3:1. Detection by exposure to strong UV irradiation to enhance the fluorescence properties of ledipasvir and densitometric scanning at 315 nm⁠. The hRF of ledipasvir was 28 and of sofosbuvir 36. Linearity was in the range of 5-50 ng/band⁠. The method is suitable for the specific determination of ledipasvir in pharmaceutical tablets without interference from sofosbuvir or excipients, thus for the estimation of ledipasvir in fecal specimens with adequate recovery and for testing the content uniformity of ledipasvir in the pharmaceutical tablets.

      Planta Med. 85(3), 195-202 (2019). The dichloromethane fraction of an ethanolic extract from Gloeophyllum odoratum sporocarp (Gloeophyllaceae, Basidiomycetes) was submitted to a multistep purification process (conventional, flash and supercritical fluid column chromatography). At each step, fractions were monitored on TLC silica gel with dichloromethane – methanol – water 40:4:1. Detection under white and UV light after derivatization with vanillin sulfuric acid 5 % in methanol and heating. Eight triterpenes were isolated for further identification: eburicodiol, gloeophyllins B and K, hydroxylanosterol, trametenolic acid B (all five from the lanostane type), gloeophyllins A and L (C‑nor-D-homoergosteroid type), and ergosterol peroxide (ergostane type).

      Planta Med. 85(2), 154-159 (2019). Two new cycloartane triterpene heterosides (cimiheraclein F and a shengmanol derivative) isolated from Actaea heracleifolia aerial parts (Ranunculaceae) were submitted to acid hydrolysis (HCl 0.4 M in methanol 60 %, 90°C, 2 h). The glycone moieties were purified and developed on TLC silica gel with ethyl acetate – chloroform – methanol – water 3:2:2:1. Detection after spraying with sulfuric acid 10 % in water and heating. The glycones were identified in both cases as L-arabinopyranose by comparison of the RF values (and of specific optical rotation) to a standard.

      Planta Med. 85(2), 112-117 (2019). A fraction of an ethanolic extract of Dolichos trilobus roots (Fabaceae) was eluted on a silica gel column with different mixtures of petroleum ether and acetone. This fractionation was monitored by TLC on silica gel (eluent not given), derivatization by spraying with sulfuric acid 10 % (in ethanol) and heating (100 °C). Further isolation steps allowed the identification of eight coumestans in two subfractions: dolichosins A–D, isosojagol, phaseol, psoralidin, dehydroisopsoralidin.
