Abstract A high-performance liquid chromatographic method for separating steroid hormones by using nitrile-terminated hydrocarbons as the stationary phase is described. Particular selectivity toward the separation of corticosteroids with an α, β unsaturated ketone group is noted, with five steroids more polar than cortisol being completely resolved. The system described is also applicable to estrogen separations.

Abstract The presence of a new lactate dehydrogenase inhibitor on the trailing edge of the NADH peak from chromatography on diethylaminoethyl-celluose [Loshon et al., Clin. Chem., this issue] was verified. It was resolved from the NADH by high-performance liquid chromatography on muBondapak C18. When the new inhibitor was present in a reaction mixture to the extent that, of the initial 260-nm absorbance, about 5% was contributed by the inhibitor, the rate of NADH oxidation by lactate dehydrogenase decreased by 65%. The inhibitor absorbs at 260 and 340 nm, and is different from the Strandjord-Clayson inhibitor [J. Lab. Clin. Med. 67, 144 (1966)] by both types of chromatography. Because this new inhibitor has ultraviolet properties similar to those of NADH and chromatographs with the NADH on DEAE-cellulose, the high-performance liquid chromatographic method must be used to ensure its absence in preparations of NADH used for clinical assay.

An analytical method, using High Performance Liquid Chromatography, was developed for quantification of atrazine in extracts obtained by supercritical extraction of contaminated soils. The method shows good linearity, for concentrations ranging from 0.1 mg/L to 200 mg/L, and reproducibility, giving deviations lower than 2%. The recovery of atrazine by SCE was in the range of 96 to 98%.

A high-performance-liquid-chromatographic method is developed for the simultaneous determination of hydroxymethylbilane synthase and uroporphyrinogen III synthase activity in erythrocytes. Effective separation of uroporphyrin I and III isomers allows the accurate quantification of individual isomers and the total uroporphyrin concentration. Total uroporphyrin production is used to calculate hydroxymethylbilane synthase activity, and the amount of uroporphyrin III formed represents the activity of uroporphyrinogen III synthase. Normal ranges are established for the two enzymes.

A sensitive method for the separation of phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin by high-performance liquid chromatographic analysis is described. The elution of the phospholipids from a microparticulate (10 mum) silica-gel chromatographic column was monitored with an ultraviolet spectromonitor at 203 nm. Acetonitrile/methanol/water (65:21:14, by vol.) was used as the solvent. It was shown by using synthetic phosphatidylcholines of knowm fatty acid composition and of varying degree of unsaturation that the absorption at 203 nm was primarily due to the isolated double bonds and the response measured varied with the degree of unsaturation. Approx. 1 nmol of phosphatidylcholine, containing at least one double bond per molecule, can be detected. The amounts of phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin could be determined by high-performance liquid chromatography and ultraviolet absorption if the apparent extinction coefficient of the material analyzed was established. Alternatively, peaks were collected and the phospholipids were determined by the analysis of phosphorus. The analysis of phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin present in the lipid extracts from animal tissues, blood and amniotic fluids were made without interference from other phospholipids or ultraviolet-absorbing material. The method described here is complementary to the high-performance liquid chromatographic method described previously for the analysis of ethanolamine-containing phosphoglycerides and serine-containing phosphoglycerides [Jungalwala, Turel, Evans and McCluer (1975) Biochem. J. 145, 517-526].

Abstract We describe a simple "high-performance" liquid-chromatographic method for determining free 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol (MHPG) in plasma, with coulometric detection and with 4-methoxy-3-hydroxyphenylglycol (iso-MHPG) as the internal standard. MHPG and iso-MHPG are extracted from plasma into ethyl acetate and the extract is washed with a sodium bicarbonate solution, evaporated, reconstituted, and injected into a 25 x 0.4 cm column packed with 3-micron particles of C18 material. We used a mobile phase of acetate buffer (100 mmol/L, pH 5.0) and methanol (92:8 by vol) and an oxidation voltage of 0.5 V. The detection limit of the assay is 0.1 micrograms/L. The interassay CV for a sample with a mean MHPG concentration of 3.84 micrograms/L was 5.2%. The average absolute recovery for the method was 37%.

Abstract A rapid method is described for determining supplemental vitamin E in feeds by means of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using isocratic elution with methanol-water. The sample is mixed with water and left on a water bath to dissolve the coating. The released vitamin E is extracted, the solvent is evaporated, and the sample is redissolved in methanol for injection. The method is applicable to gelatin-coated vitamin preparations. Standard deviations for 2 ranges of supplemented vitamin E, 10–50 ppm and 50–200 ppm, are 1.6 and 5.7, respectively.
