ABSTRACT The fungus Cunninghamella elegans was used to biotransform 6-nitrochrysene, a mutagen that is a widespread environmental contaminant. After 6 days, 74% of the3H-labeled 6-nitrochrysene added had been metabolized to two isomeric sulfate conjugates. These conjugates were separated by high-performance liquid chromatography and identified by UV-visible, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectral techniques as 6-nitrochrysene 1-sulfate and 6-nitrochrysene 2-sulfate.

ABSTRACT We examined Cunninghamella elegans to determine its ability to transform amoxapine, a tricyclic antidepressant belonging to the dibenzoxazepine class of drugs. Approximately 57% of the exogenous amoxapine was metabolized to three metabolites that were isolated by high-performance liquid chromatography and were identified by nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry as 7-hydroxyamoxapine (48%),N-formyl-7-hydroxyamoxapine (31%), andN-formylamoxapine (21%). 7-Hydroxyamoxapine, a mammalian metabolite with biological activity, now can be produced in milligram quantities for toxicological evaluation.

In order to probe the structure of chondroitin sulfate (CS) from tilapia fish, the CS was extracted from tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) byproducts with the combination of ultrasonic and microwave, some means including high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), infrared spectra (IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) were used in this paper. The data of HPLC exhibited that the obtained chondroitin sulfate is of highly purity (98.78%). IR and NMR spectra indicated that the sample consisted of both chondroitin-4-sulfate and chondroitin-6-sulfate, and the proportion of chondroitin-6-sulfate was higher than chondroitin-4-sulfate.
