New analytical spiral tube assembly for separation of proteins by counter-current chromatography.

ABSTRACT: A new spiral column assembly for analytical separation by counter-current chromatography is described. The column is made from a plastic spiral tube support which has 12 interwoven spiral grooves. The PTFE tubing of 1.6mm ID was first flattened by extruding through a narrow slit and inserted into the grooves to make 5 spiral layers with about 60ml capacity. The performance of the spiral column assembly was tested with separation of three stable protein samples including cytochrome C, myoglobin and lysozyme in a polymer phase system composed of polyethylene glycol 1000 and dibasic potassium phosphate each at 12.5% (w/w) in water. At 2ml/min, three protein samples were well resolved in 1h. The separation time may be further shortened by application of higher revolution speed and flow rate by improving the strength of the spiral tube support in the future.

Preparative separation and identification of novel subsidiary colors of the color additive D&C Red No. 33 (Acid Red 33) using spiral high-speed counter-current chromatography.

Project description:Three low-level subsidiary color impurities (A, B, and C) often present in batches of the color additive D&C Red No. 33 (R33, Acid Red 33, Colour Index No. 17200) were separated from a portion of R33 by spiral high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC). The separation involved use of a very polar solvent system, 1-BuOH/5mM aq. (NH4)2SO4. Addition of ammonium sulfate to the lower phase forced partition of the components into the upper phase, thereby eliminating the need to add a hydrophobic counterion as was previously required for separations of components from sulfonated dyes. The very polar solvent system used would not have been retained in a conventional multi-layer coil HSCCC instrument, but the spiral configuration enabled retention of the stationary phase, and thus, the separation was possible. A 1g portion of R33 enriched in A, B, and C was separated using the upper phase of the solvent system as the mobile phase. The retention of the stationary phase was 38.1%, and the separation resulted in 4.8 mg of A of >90% purity, 18.3mg of B of >85% purity, and 91 mg of C of 65-72% purity. A second separation of a portion of the C mixture resulted in 7 mg of C of >94% purity. The separated impurities were identified by high-resolution mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopic techniques as follows: 5-amino-3-biphenyl-3-ylazo-4-hydroxy-naphthalene-2,7-disulfonic acid, A; 5-amino-4-hydroxy-6-phenyl-3-phenylazo-naphthalene-2,7-disulfonic acid, B; and 5-amino-4-hydroxy-3,6-bis-phenylazo-naphthalene-2,7-disulfonic acid, C. The isomers A and B are compounds reported for the first time. Application of the spiral HSCCC method resulted in the additional benefit of yielding 930 mg of the main component of R33, 5-amino-4-hydroxy-3-phenylazo-naphthalene-2,7-disulfonic acid, of >97% purity.

Preparative Separation of Main Ustilaginoidins from Rice False Smut Balls by High-Speed Counter-Current Chromatography.

Project description:Ustilaginoidins are bis-naphtho-?-pyrone mycotoxins isolated from the rice false smut balls (FSBs) infected by the pathogen Villosiclava virens in rice spikelets on panicles. In order to obtain large amounts of pure ustilaginoidins to further evaluate their biological activities and functions, phytotoxicity on rice, security to human and animals as well as to accelerate their applications as pharmaceuticals, preparative high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) was successfully applied to the isolation and purification of seven bis-naphtho-?-pyrone mycotoxins, namely ustilaginoidins A (1), G (2), B (3), H (4), I (5), C (6), and J (7) from the ethyl acetate crude extract of rice FSBs. Both 1 and 2 were prepared by HSCCC from the low-polarity fraction of the crude extract using the two-phase solvent system composed of n-hexane-ethyl acetate-methanol-water at the volume ratio of 6.5:3.5:5.0:5.0. Similarly, 3, 4 and 5 were prepared from the medium-polarity fraction using the system at the volume ratio of 4.0:5.0:5.0:6.0, and 6 and 7 were prepared from the higher-polarity fraction using the system at volume ratio of 3.0:5.0:4.0:6.7. A total of 6.2 mg of 1, 5.1 mg of 2, 3.9 mg of 3, 1.2 mg of 4, 5.7 mg of 5, 3.5 mg of 6, and 6.1 mg of 7 with purities of 88%, 82%, 91%, 80%, 92%, 81% and 83%, respectively, were yielded from total 62 mg fraction samples in three independent HSCCC runs. The structures of the purified ustilaginoidins were characterized by means of physicochemical and spectrometric analysis.

Preparative separation of spirobisnaphthalenes from endophytic fungus Berkleasmium sp. Dzf12 by high-speed counter-current chromatography.

Project description:High-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) was applied for the first time for the preparative separation of spirobisnaphthalenes from a crude extract of the endophytic fungus Berkleasmium sp. Dzf12, associated with the medicinal plant Dioscorea zingiberensis. Six spirobisnaphthalenes were successfully separated by HSCCC with a two-phase solvent system composed of n-hexane-chloroform-methanol-water (1.5:3.0:2.5:2.0, v/v). About 18.0 mg of diepoxin κ (1), 245.7 mg of palmarumycin C13 (2), 42.4 mg of palmarumycin C16 (3), 42.2 mg of palmarumycin C15 (4), 32.6 mg of diepoxin δ (5), and 22.3 mg of diepoxin γ (6) with purities of 56.82, 71.39, 76.57, 75.86, 91.01 and 82.48%, respectively, as determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), were obtained from 500 mg of the crude extract in a one-step elution within 7 h of separation procedure by HSCCC. The purified spirobisnaphthalenes were further structurally characterized by means of physicochemical and spectrometric analysis.

H2O-Induced Hydrophobic Interactions in MS-Guided Counter-Current Chromatography Separation of Anti-Cancer Mollugin from Rubia cordifolia.

Project description:Counter-current chromatography (CCC) is a unique liquid-liquid partition chromatography and largely relies on the partition interactions of solutes and solvents in two-phase solvents. Usually, the two-phase solvents used in CCC include a lipophilic organic phase and a hydrophilic aqueous phase. Although a large number of partition interactions have been found and used in the CCC separations, there are few studies that address the role of water on solvents and solutes in the two-phase partition. In this study, we presented a new insight that H2O (water) might be an efficient and sensible hydrophobic agent in the n-hexane-methanol-based two-phase partition and CCC separation of lipophilic compounds, i.e., anti-cancer component mollugin from Rubia cordifolia. Although the n-hexane-methanol-based four components solvent systems of n-hexane-ethyl acetate-methanol-water (HEMWat) is one of the most popular CCC solvent systems and widely used for natural products isolation, this is an interesting trial to investigate the water roles in the two-phase solutions. In addition, as an example, the bioactive component mollugin was targeted, separated, and purified by MS-guided CCC with hexane-methanol and minor water as a hydrophobic agent. It might be useful for isolation and purification of lipophilic mollugin and other bioactive compounds complex natural products and traditional Chinese medicines.

Preparative Separation of Alkaloids from Stem of Euchresta tubulosa Dunn. by High-Speed Counter-Current Chromatography Using Stepwise Elution.

Project description:Euchresta tubulosa Dunn. is a Chinese herbal medicine with biological activity, but there are few studies on its components at present. Alkaloids in the stem of Euchresta tubulosa Dunn. were isolated and purified by high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) using stepwise elution. First of all, liquid-liquid extraction (methylene chloride-methanol-water, 5:1:4, v/v) was used for the preliminary enrichment. According to the partition coefficient (K) of a target compound in a series of different two-phase solvents, the final result was that carbon tetrachloride-methylene chloride-methanol-water (2:3:3:2, v/v) (1) and methylene chloride-methanol-water (5:3:2, v/v) (2) were suitable for the HSCCC using stepwise elution. As a result, the purity was all higher than 93% and matrine (1), oxymatrine (2), N-formyl cytisine (3), and N-acetyl cytisine (4) can be eluted at one time by this mode. Cytisine-type alkaloids were isolated for the first time in this plant. Finally, the applicability of the mode was verified.

Preparative separation of mangiferin glycosides by high speed counter current chromatography and comparison of their antioxidant and antitumor activities.

Project description:Mangiferin, a xanthonoid with various bioactivities. The low solubility of mangiferin limits the use in pharmacological fields. In this study, high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) was used to separate and purify mangiferin glycosides from the crude sample after enzymatic glycosylation of mangiferin. Two fructosyl mangiferin were successfully purified by HSCCC with a two-phase-solvent system composed of n-butanol-methanol-water (6 : 1 : 6, v/v). A total of 18 mg of mangiferin (I), 73 mg of β-d-fructofuranosyl-(2 → 6)-mangiferin (II), and 58 mg of β-d-difructofuranosyl-(2 → 6)-mangiferin (III) were obtained in one-step separation from 150 mg of the crude sample with purities of 99.2%, 98.7% and 98.9%, respectively. The chemical structures were identified by HRMS, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and 2D NMR. Mangiferin glycosides showed higher antioxidant and antitumor activities compared to that of mangiferin by employing DPPH scavenging effect, reducing power and cytotoxicity assay. Therefore, these novel fructosyl mangiferin exhibit a great potential to be developed into new medicines.

Preparative separation of seven phenolic acids from Xanthii Fructus using pH-zone-refining counter-current chromatography combined with semi-preparative high performance liquid chromatography.

Project description:Phenolic acids represented by caffeoylquinic acids in Xanthii Fructus have various pharmacological activities such as anti-inflammatory, anti-nociceptive, anti-oxidative and anti-allergic effects. In this study, pH-zone-refining counter-current chromatography was successfully applied in the segmentation of crude samples and further separation of phenolic acids from Xanthii Fructus. We initially segmented 1.6 g of the crude sample to yield three sample fractions using a two-phase solvent system composed of EtOAc-ACN-H2O (4 : 1 : 5, v/v/v) with 10 mM TFA added to the organic phase as the stationary phase and 10 mM NH3·H2O added to the aqueous phase as the mobile phase. The first fraction was separated using EtOAc-H2O (1 : 1, v/v) (10 mM TFA was added in the upper phase and 20 mM NH3·H2O was added in the lower phase) solvent system, the second fraction containing low-content compounds was separated using semi-preparative high performance liquid chromatography, and the third fraction contained one pure compound. As a result, seven phenolic acids including six caffeoylquinic acid isomers (3-caffeoylquinic acid, 4-caffeoylquinic acid, 5-caffeoylquinic acid, 1,5-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid, 3,5-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid, and 4,5-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid) and caffeic acid were successfully isolated from Xanthii Fructus with purities above 90%. This study demonstrated that pH-ZRCCC is an efficient preparative separation method for phenolic acids, especially isomeric caffeoylquinic acids, from natural products.

Separation of Dihydro-Isocoumarins and Dihydro-Stilbenoids from <i>Hydrangea macrophylla</i> ssp. <i>serrata</i> by Use of Counter-Current Chromatography.

Project description:Previously, different Hydrangea macrophylla ssp. serrata cultivars were investigated by untargeted LC-MS analysis. From this, a list of tentatively identified and unknown compounds that differ significantly between these cultivars was obtained. Due to the lack of reference compounds, especially for dihydro-isocoumarins, we aimed to isolate and structurally characterise these compounds from the cultivar 'Yae-no-amacha' using NMR and LC-MS methods. For purification and isolation, counter-current chromatography was used in combination with reversed-phase preparative HPLC as an orthogonal and enhanced purification workflow. Thirteen dihydro-isocoumarins in combination with other metabolites could be isolated and structurally identified. Particularly interesting was the clarification of dihydrostilbenoid glycosides, which were described for the first time in H. macrophylla ssp. serrata. These results will help us in further studies on the biological interpretation of our data.
