Investigations of the lysophospholipid composition of human neutrophils under different stimulation conditions by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry

(Received 8 June 2001)
Matrix-assisted laser desorption / ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is usually used for the analyses of proteins, carbohydrates and oligonucleotides. In spite of the number of advantages that MALDI-TOF MS exhibits for lipid analysis, this method has not often been applied in this field. In this paper we have extended our previous studies on the suitability of MALDI-TOF MS for the investigation of changes in the content of lipid-derived second messengers in organic extracts of human neutrophils. Qualitative differences in the lysophospholipid composition in organic extracts of the human neutrophils under different stimulation conditions could be easily observed by MALDI-TOF MS. Although there are still some methodological problems to be solved before this method can be routinely applied for the quantification of different lipid classes in complex biological mixtures (such as organic extracts of human neutrophils) it is shown here that MALDI-TOF MS possesses the capability to be used as a simple screening method for the investigation of the content of lipid-derived second messengers and of signalling pathways in cells.

Keywords: lysophospholipids, MALDI-TOF MS, neutrophils, phospholipase, phospholipids, signal transduction.

Inverse gas chromatography of chromia. Part II. Finite surface coverage

A. E. ONJIA, S. K. MILONJIC and LJ. V. RAJAKOVIC*

*Faculty of Technology and Metallurgy, P. O. Box 494, YU-11001 Belgrade, Yugoslavia

(Received 5 July 2001)
The interactions of n-hexane, benzene, chloroform, and tetrahydrofuran with dried (amorphous) chromia (I) and chromia heated at 1073 K (crystalline) (II), both obtained from a colloidal dispersion, and a commercially available chromia (III) were studied by inverse gas chromatography (IGC) under finite surface coverage conditions. The isotherms, in the temperature range 383 – 423 K, were used to estimate the surface area, the adsorption energy distribution, the isosteric heat of adsorption, and the spreading pressure on the surfaces of the solids. The uniformly reduced adsorption ability of the heated chromia was attributed to the dehydroxylation of the surface at the higher temperatures. Both solids showed an increased affinity toward chloroform molecules, as a result of strong acid-base interaction.

Keywords: inverse gas chromatography, chromia, adsorption, organics, isotherms, isosteric heat.

Theoretical consideration and application of the SP and SP’ scales in RP chromatographic systems in which Everett’s
equation is valid

T. J. JANJIC, G. VUCKOVIC and M. B. CELAP

Faculty of Chemistry, University of Belgrade, P. O. Box 158, YU-11001 Belgrade, Yugoslavia

(Received 18 September 2001)
It is shown that in the case of ODS and less polar modifiers the log k values are a linear function of the SP’ parameters. This findings differ from earlier investigated systems, in which a linear dependence between log k and SP parameters (SP = log SP’) was found. Both linear relationships have been analyzed and the corresponding possible separation mechanisms have been considered. In addition, the advantages of normalization of both scales are shown and how then they can be applied in the investigation of substances congenerity.

Keywords: RP column chromatography, Everett’s equation, solvent strength scales, SP parameter, SP’ parameter, capacity factor.

Protolytic equilibria of bromazepam

LIDIJA B. PFENDT, GORDANA V. POPOVIC*, TATJANA Z. DAMJANOVIC and DUSAN M. SLADIC

Faculty of Chemistry, University of Belgrade, Studentski trg 16, P. O. Box 158, YU-11000 Belgrade and
*Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Belgrade, P. O. Box 146, YU-11000 Belgrade, Yugoslavia

(Received 1 August, revised 30 October 2001)
The protolytic equilibria of bromazepam, an ampholyte sparingly soluble in water, in homogeneous and heterogeneous systems were studied in the pH range 0–14 at 25 ?C and at ionic strength of 0.1 mol/dm3 (NaCl). On the basis of 13C-NMR spectra, the protonation site was predicted – in acidic media the pyridine nitrogen of bormazepam is protonated. The acidity constants of bromazepam were determined spectrophotometrically (pKa1 2.83 and pKa2 11.60) and potentiometrically (pKa1 2.99). In the heterogeneous system the following equilibrium constants were determined: Ks0 = [HA] (pKs0 3.44), Ks1 = [H2A+]/[H3O+] (pKs1 0.61), and Ks2 = [A-][H3O+] (pKs2 15.04).

Keywords: bromazepam, 1,4-benzodiazepines, acidity constants, heterogeneous equilibria.

The effects of grinding on the physicochemical characteristics of white sepiolite from Golesh

(Received 13 July 2001)
The influence of grinding white sepiolites from the Magure-Golesh mine in Southern Serbia on their structure and on the rheological characteristics of their aqueous suspensions was investigated. Sepiolite samples of hard and soft consistency were ground in three different types of mills: a ball mill, air-stream mill, and a colloid mill. The effect of grinding on the sepiolite samples was investigated by SEM, XRD, IR, TG and BET methods and by chemical analysis. Grinding generally resulted in the separation of the sepiolite fibers, and partial amorphization. In addition, grinding produced substantial changes in the apparent viscosity and rheological characteristics of dilute aqueous suspensions of sepiolite. It is concluded that the viscosities are especially affected by the type of grinding employed.

Keywords: sepiolite, Golesh, grinding, structure, rheological characteristics.

(Received 7 June, revised 5 November 2001)
The trace amounts of lead in extraction glassware products were determined by potentiometric stripping analysis with constant inverse current in the analytic step (PSA-iR), an electrochemical technique of high sensitivity and selectivity. This paper deals with an investigation which was directed to the effect of a great number of factors on the results of PSA-iR, of lead in glassware, such as the mercury time electrodeposition, the electrolysis potential, the solution stirring rate and the constant inverse current. Linearity of the lead analytical signal was achieved within the range of mass concentrations from 2.5 mg/dm3 to 4.5 mg/dm3. A detection limit of 0.64 mg/dm3 was obtained, with a reproducibility of 4.14 % expressed as the coefficient of variation. The analyses were carried out using a computerized stripping analyzer of domestic design and manufacture (Faculty of Technology, Novi Sad and “Elektrouniverzal”, Leskovac). The accuracy of the method was confirmed by parallel analyses using flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometry as the reference method.

Keywords: potentiometric stripping analysis, constant inverse current, lead, glassware.
