This paper concerns with the quantitative determination of ommochrome precursors in the Malpighian tubes of Drosophila melanogaster during the individual development. After separation by paper chromatography the amounts of tryptophane, kynurenine and 3-hydroxykynurenine have been estimated by a spectrophotometer. The concentrations of these three substances obtained from wild-type Malpighian tubes have been compared with the quantities of the mutants brown (bw) and red Malpighian tubes (red). During development there are significant variabilities in contents of tryptophane, kynurenine and 3-hydroxykynurenine in the Malpighian tubes. In the larval tubes large quantities of ommochrome precursors are accumulated. With the beginning of metamorphosis there is a distinct decrease in these substances. After hatching the amount increases steadily until reaching a constant level. In the Malpighian tubes there are also sex differences: in females the concentration of kynurenine and 3-hydroxykynurenine is higher than in males. The results obtained from the mutants brown and red Malpighian tubes are on principle the same as those obtained from wild-type. A strong reduction of kynurenine contents is found in the mutant red Malpighian tubes. Perhaps in this mutant the kynurenine-hydroxilase-activity is lower than in wild-type. The amounts of ommochrome precursors, accumulated in the larval Malpighian tubes, do not correspond in all cases to the contents of xanthommatine formed in the eyes of the adults.

Abstract A simplified quantitative procedure for the determination of mixed sulfonamides in pharmaceuticals is presented. The components are resolved by paper chromatography and located by their fluorescence under short wavelength ultraviolet light. They are then eluted and determined colorimetrically by a revised Bratton-Marshall technique. Total time of analysis is less than 4 hours. Recoveries averaged 98.8% with a range of 95.7 to 103.4%. Mean deviation from the average was 1.4%.

ABSTRACT A method with a sensitivity of about 2 ng is evolved for the determination of oestrone and 17β-oestradiol in plasma. The method is based on the double isotopic derivative principle and makes use of the isotopes 35S and 131I. The method includes: Extraction of plasma, purification of the extract, esterification of oestrone and 17β-oestradiol by means of p-iodobenzenesulphonyl chloride, purification of the esters formed by paper chromatography, counting of the radioactivities and calculation of the results. The procedures are described in detail and discussed. Determinations in plasma gave the following ranges of concentrations: Normally menstruating women, oestrone and 17β-oestradiol: 0.1–0.75 μg/l, some patients with primary or secondary amenorrhea, oestrone and 17β-oestradiol: 0–0.45 μg/l and pregnant women, oestrone: 1–10 μg/l and 17β-oestradiol: 2–30 μg/l.
