A clinically useful spectrophotometric method for the determination of 3-methoxy-4hydroxyphenyiglycol (MHPC) is presented. After treatment with barium chloride, the urine is hydrolyzed with Glusulase ($-glucuronidase and sulfatase).f The hydrolysate is passed through a column of Amberlite CG-4Bt to remove any 3methoxy-4-hydroxymandelic acid (MHMA) and the pH is adjusted to neutral. The MHPG is ...

Urine was collected from newborns, children, and adults who had received a tracer dose of [3H] cortisol. The free and different types of conjugated cortisol metabolites were separated by ion-exchange chromatography. A modified Amberlite XAD-2 procedure was used, which enabled quantitative extraction of the extremely polar cortisol metabolites from urine from newborns. Large differences between ...

A new teicoplanin-like antibiotic was discovered when using Actinoplanes teichomyceticus strain 3/W, the fermentation medium containing Alburex, and the fermentation time 275 hours. The new product was separated from teicoplanin complex by polyamide resin chromatography and purified by Amberlite XAD-7 and affinity resin chromatographies. The structure was established on the basis of the physico...

Med., 1972, 106 (3), 219-231Intravenous injection of the crude extract from Lycii folium among components of Lycium chinense Miller induced ovulation in the adult female rabbit. Chemical properties of the active component of this crude extract were investigated by d...

Clark, D. G. (1970). Brit. J. industr. Med., 27, 186-188. Inhibition of the absorption of paraquat from the gastrointestinal tract by adsorbents. The efficacy of the oral administration of adsorbents Kaolin, Decalso, Amberlite, Bentonite and Fuller's Earth in preventing the toxic actions ofingested paraquat (1,1'-dimethyl-4,4'-dipyridylium) has been assessed using rats and cats. Only Bentonite ...

Black peanut skins as a byproduct from peanut industry contain abundant anthocyanins, evaluated as 8.61±0.27mg/g dry black peanut skins, are currently poorly exploited. In this work, four anthocyanins and three major flavonols were detected and identified by HPLC-PDA-ESI-MS/MS from the acidified water extract of black peanut skins of Arachis hypogaea L. After preliminary removal of flavonols by...

A method for repeatable loading of propranolol hydrochloride as a model drug onto the ion exchanger Amberlite TM IRP69 was developed and different parameters for the loading process were evaluated due to their impact of the extent of loading. It was found that the extent of loading in equilibrium is widely independent of the experimental method used. However, a magnetic stirrer comminutes the i...

During an initial search for pharmacologically active principles in red-mold rice, two hypotensive compounds were isolated and identified. The active principles, A-3 and B-1, were fractionated and purified from the EtOH extract of red-mold rice prepared with Monascus pilosus through extraction with H2O, Amberlite CG-120 column chromatographies and high-performance liquid chromatography on an OD...

Phospholipase B (lysolecithin acyl-hydrolase, EC 3.1.1.5) from the mycelia of Penicillium notatum (Institute for Fermentation, Osaka, Japan; No.4640) was adsorbed from a crude solution to palmitoyl cellulose. Adsorption was efficient at pH 4 at low ionic strength (10 mM buffer), and at pH 4-9 at higher ionic strength (1-2M NaCl in 10 mM buffer). The adsorbed enzyme was eluted from the cellulose...

Phenolic compounds were extracted from defatted flaxseeds using ethanol-dioxane (1:1, v/v). The crude extract obtained was purified using Amberlite XAD-16 column chromatography with water and methanol as mobile phases. RP-HPLC and SE-HPLC showed a lignan macromolecule (LM) as a dominant phenolic compound in the purified extract. After the alkaline hydrolysis of LM caffeic acid glucoside (CaAG) ...
