ABSTRACT The level of 3α-hydroxy-5α-androst-16-ene (Δ16-androstenol) excreted as glucuronide in the urine of a woman with virilising adrenal carcinoma was measured by gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) of the free steroid and its chloromethyl dimethyl silyl (CMDS) ether and found to be 1.46 mg/day. On the basis of thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and GLC of free steroid and derivatives, Δ16-androstenol has also been tentatively identified in the urinary sulphate fraction and in peripheral plasma. The values were approx. 0.6 mg/d and 2.8 μg/100 ml respectively. After operation, the amount of urinary Δ16-androstenol (as glucuronide) fell to a low level; none was detected in plasma or in urine (as sulphate). Levels of other steroids in the urine and plasma were consistent with the clinical diagnosis of virilising adrenal carcinoma. After operation, the excretion of most of these steroids had reverted to values which were normal or lower. In vitro, the cancerous adrenal tissue metabolised 4-14C-pregnenolone to 3β-hydroxy-androsta-5,16-diene (0.2 %) and 4-14C-progesterone to a small quantity (< 0.03 %) of androsta-4,16-dien-3-one. No androst-16-enes were formed from radioactive dehydroepiandrosterone (DHA) or testosterone. The formation of other labelled metabolites confirmed studies by earlier workers.

SUMMARY C19-16-unsaturated steroids have been extracted from the urine and spermatic vein plasma of a mature boar and identified by thin-layer chromatography, gas—liquid chromatography and combined gas—liquid chromatography—mass spectrometry. 5α-Androst-16-en-3β-ol (approximately 250 μg./1.) was identified in the urinary glucuronide fraction. This compound and the 3α-epimer occurred in the spermatic vein plasma predominantly as sulphates but a small quantity of the 3α-isomer was extractable with ether prior to hydrolysis of steroid conjugates. Traces of 5,16-androstadien-3β-ol have been tentatively identified in the plasma sulphate fraction; 5α-androst-16-en-3-one occurred as free steroid. No 16-unsaturated steroids were found in the plasma glucuronide nor in urinary sulphate fractions. The latter contained an unidentified compound of similar polarity to the C19-16-unsaturated steroids. Neutral 17-oxosteroids were measured in extracts obtained from both the urine and spermatic vein plasma. Of the dehydroepiandrosterone (DHA) in the urine 60% occurred as sulphate and 40% as glucuronide with only traces as free steroid. Androsterone and aetiocholanolone occurred only as glucuronides. In the spermatic vein plasma, DHA occurred predominantly as sulphate with small amounts as glucuronide and free steroid.

Holoptelea integrifolia Roxb. Planch (HI) has been used to treat various ailments including obesity, osteoarthritis, arthritis, inflammation, anemia, diabetes etc. To review the major phytochemicals and medicinal properties of HI, exhaustive bibliographic research was designed by means of various scientific search engines and databases. Only 12 phytochemicals have been reported including biologically active compounds like betulin, betulinic acid, epifriedlin, octacosanol, Friedlin, Holoptelin-A and Holoptelin-B. Analytical methods including the Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC), High-Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC), High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Liquid Chromatography With Mass Spectral (LC-MS) analysis have been used to analyze the HI. From medicinal potency point of view, these phytochemicals have a wide range of pharmacological activities such as antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumor. In the current review, it has been noticed that the mechanism of action of HI with biomolecules has not been fully explored. Pharmacology and toxicological studies are very few. This seems a huge literature gap to be fulfilled through the detailed in-vivo and in-vitro studies.

The article shows the importance of the study of feed for broiler chickens on the content of organochlorine pesticides. These substances in significant concentrations can disrupt the development of birds and cause mass poisoning. The study of formula feed for broiler chickens «prestart» and «start» by two methodswas conducted: a certified method for the determination of organochlorine pesticides in feed and formula feed (thin layer chromatography) and a method for detecting pesticides not certified for feed (gas-liquid chromatography with mass spectrometer detector). During the experiment, the presence of organochlorine pesticides in several formulafeed samples was revealed.

Abstract Gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) following conventional isolation procedures has been used to clean up pesticide residues for confirmation by thin layer chromatography (TLC). This procedure is more rapid and efficient than present cleanup procedures and permits the determination of pesticide residues that do not survive these rigorous acid or alkali treatments. The method also permits TLC confirmation of pesticide residues that have similar Rf values but different GLC retention times. Recoveries ranged from 85 to 105% for 25 of 28 pesticides tested

Abstract The Onley-Yip procedure for determining ethylenethiourea (ETU) in milk and crops was modified to reduce interferences by the ethylenebisdithiocarbamates (EBDCs). A 20 g cropmethanol extract is cleaned up by adsorbing the sample onto Gas-Chrom S, desorbing ETU, and eluting ETU from aluminum oxide with chloroform containing ethanol. ETU is converted to the S-butyl derivative for gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) and flame photometric detection (sulfur mode). For liquid chromatography (LC), ETU is cleaned up on another aluminum oxide column and injected directly. LC and GLC results are confirmed by thin layer chromatography. A cooking procedure based on conversion of EBDCs to ETU is included for surveying crops for possible EBDC content. Recoveries from 8 crops and milk fortified at 0.05 ppm ETU ranged from 73 to 100%.

Abstract A inethod is described for analysis of sterols by thin layer chromatography-gas liquid chromatography (TLC-GLC). Sterols are isolated from other components of unsaponifiable matter by preparative TLC. The sterols are quantitatively removed from the TLC plate, extracted from the silica gel, and analyzed by GLC. This method has been used to detect low levels (2–3%) of animal fat in vegetable oil by measuring the cholesterol content of the animal fatvegetable oil admixtures.
