N-docosahexaenoylethanolamine detected in human breast milk. Prostaglandins Leukot Essent Fatty Acids 2018; 137:1-4. [PMID: 30293591 PMCID: PMC11036879 DOI: 10.1016/j.plefa.2018.07.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2018] [Revised: 07/17/2018] [Accepted: 07/22/2018] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Measure concentrations of the neurogenic, pro-neurogenic, pro-synaptogenic and anti-inflammatory mediator N-docosahexaenoylethanolamine (synaptamide) in relation to its precursor docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in breast milk. DESIGN AND METHODS Postpartum women were recruited prior to discharge. We supplemented half the subjects with omega-3 fatty acids. Breast milk samples were collected at 1, 4 and 8 weeks. Synaptamide and DHA concentrations were determined by liquidchromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and gas chromatography, respectively. RESULTS Synaptamide was detected in all breast milk samples. The concentration ranged from 44 to 257 fmol/mL. Omega-3 fatty acid supplementation did not affect DHA or synaptamide concentration in breast milk due to a high-DHA-containing diet self-selected by control mothers. Nevertheless, synaptamide levels significantly correlated with DHA concentration in breast milk (r = 0.624, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION This is the first demonstration of detectable concentrations of synaptamide in human breast milk. Although the attempt to raise the milk DHA content by omega-3 fatty acid supplementation was not successful in the current study, the positive correlation observed between synaptamide and DHA concentration suggests that synaptamide levels in human milk can be raised by proper omega-3 fatty acid supplementation that is known to increase DHA.

The role of plasmalogen in the oxidative stability of neutral lipids and phospholipids. JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY 2010; 58:2554-2561.

Abstract
The role of ethanolamine plasmalogen extracted from bovine brain (BBEP) in maintaining oxidative stability of bulk soybean oil and liposome made with egg phospholipids (PL) was studied. In a purified soybean oil (PSO), the addition of 200 and 1000 ppm of BBEP promoted lipid oxidation at rates of 0.037 and 0.071 (all rates in ln (PV) h(-1), and PV stands for peroxide value), whereas soy lecithin (SL) added in the same amount showed a trend similar to the PSO blank, which had an oxidation rate of 0.025. The PSO with BBEP was susceptible to cupric ion catalyzed oxidation, in that the oil was oxidized much more quickly than the PSO with SL and cupric ion. In commercial soybean oil (CSO) with the presence of tocopherols, SL at 1000 ppm acted synergistically as an antioxidant with the natural tocopherols, but addition of BBEP accelerated lipid oxidation, as evidenced by the oxidative stability index (OSI) test. In the egg PL liposome, the BBEP caused a fast breakdown of the lipid hydroperoxides and consequently promoted more thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) formation. The PL oxidation in the presence of copper in the liposome was not affected by the BBEP, which indicates that the hypothesis of ethanolamine plasmalogen (EthPm) chelating cupric ion as the antioxidation mechanism was not supported. The addition of cumene hydroperoxide to the egg PL liposome promoted lipid oxidation, as indicated by a fast development of PV and TBARS. However, the result with cumene hydroperoxide failed to differentiate the effect of BBEP and SL and their concentration on lipid oxidation. On the basis of the observations from this study, we conclude that EthPm is not an antioxidant but rather a pro-oxidant in a bulk lipid system, and it has no significant antioxidant effect for PL oxidation in the liposome.

Development and validation of an automated solid-phase extraction and liquid chromatographic method for determination of lumefantrine in capillary blood on sampling paper. J Pharm Biomed Anal 2007; 45:282-7. [PMID: 17719735 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2007.07.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 49] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2007] [Revised: 07/06/2007] [Accepted: 07/14/2007] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
A bioanalytical method for the determination of lumefantrine in 100 microl blood applied onto sampling paper, by solid-phase extraction and liquid chromatography, has been developed and validated. Whatman 31 ET Chr sampling paper was pre-treated with 0.75 M tartaric acid before sampling capillary blood to enable a high recovery of lumefantrine. Lumefantrine was extracted from the sampling paper, then further purified using solid-phase extraction and finally quantified with HPLC. The between-day variation was below 10% over the range 0.4-25 microM. The lower limit of quantification was 0.25 microM in 100 microl capillary blood. No decrease in lumefantrine concentration in dried blood spot is seen after 4 months storage at 22 degrees C. The method was also evaluated in field samples from patients in Tanzania after treatment with lumefantrine/artemether. Lumefantrine could be estimated accurately enough to assess bioavailability and treatment compliance on day 7 (i.e. 4 days after the last dose) after a standard regimen with the lumefantrine/artemether combination.

Abstract
A capillary electrophoresis method, using field-amplified sample injection (FASI), was developed for separation and determination of some beta 2-agonists, such as cimaterol, clenbuterol and salbutamol. The optimum conditions for this system had been investigated in detail. The precision of the migration time, peak height and accuracy were determined in both intra-day (n = 5) and inter-day (n = 15) assays. Under the optimum conditions, the detection limits (defined as S/N = 3) of this method were found to be lower than 2.0 ng/mL for all of these three beta 2-agonists, which were much lower than that of the conventional electro-migration injection method, the enhancement factors were greatly improved to be 30-40-fold. Such lower detection limit lets this method to be suitable for determination of above-mentioned beta 2-agonists in the urine sample. The mean recoveries in urine were higher than 96.2%, 95.6% and 95.3% for cimaterol, clenbuterol and salbutamol, respectively, with relative standard deviations lower than 3.5%.

Abstract
[reaction: see text] The marine sponge derived beta2-adrenoceptor agonist S1319 has been synthesized following a six-step linear sequence. Central to the approach employed is the formation of a 7-lithiated-2,4-dialkoxybenzothiazole intermediate obtained via a directed-lithiation/benzyne-mediated cyclization reaction. The incorporation of a tert-butyl ether residue into the cyclization precursor for the pivotal ring-closing step has been shown to significantly increase the efficiency of the reaction by the suppression of a competing directed ortho-lithiation reaction.

Abstract
A method for simultaneous determination of cimaterol, clenbuterol and salbutamol in feeds was developed by capillary zone electrophoresis. The effects of the experimental conditions on the separation and determination of cimaterol, clenbuterol and salbutamol have been examined. Under the optimum conditions, all three compounds were completely separated in 8 min. The linear range of cimaterol, clenbuterol and salbutamol was 0.1-1.0 mg/L, and the detection limits (S/N = 3) were 0.02, 0.03 and 0.02 mg/L, respectively. The developed method has been used for the determination of spiked feed samples. The recoveries of cimaterol, clenbuterol and salbutamol were 89%-103%, 86%-91% and 83%-87%, respectively. The relative standard deviations for cimaterol, clenbuterol and salbutamol were 3.8%-4.3%, 3.6%-5.0% and 4.0%-5.6%, respectively. The proposed method is a sensitive, fast and simple method for the determination of cimaterol, clenbuterol and salbutamol in feeds.

Abstract
Amosulalol is an antihypertensive drug with selective postsynaptic alpha 1 and non-selective beta blocking effects. A simple solid-phase extraction and high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method has been developed and validated for the quantitative determination of amosulalol in human plasma. A reversed phase C18 column was used for the separation of amosulalol and ethyl paraben (internal standard) with a mobile phase composed of 0.025 M phosphate buffer (pH 6.0).acetonitrile (73:27, v/v) at a flow rate of 1.5 mL/min. The ultraviolet detector was operated at the 272 nm wavelength. Intra- and inter-day precision and accuracy were acceptable for all quality control samples including the lower limit of quantification of 30 ng/mL. Recovery of amosulalol from human plasma was >95.6%. Amosulalol was stable in human plasma under various storage conditions. This method was used successfully for a pharmacokinetic study in plasma after oral administration of a single 20 mg dose of amosulalol hydrochloride to 16 healthy volunteers.

Abstract
Reverse-phase HPLC coupled with photodiode array detection was used for the simultaneous separation and determination of naturally occurring adrenergic amines (octopamine, synephrine and tyramine) in fruits and dry extracts of Citrus aurantium L. var. amara and in herbal medicines derived therefrom. Synephrine was the main component in fruits (0.10-0.35%) and in dry extracts (3.00-3.08%) and was present in the range 0.25-0.99% in herbal medicines. Flavanones were analysed in the same samples using a reverse-phase HPLC technique which allowed the identification and quantification of neoeriocitrin, narirutin, naringin, hesperidin, neohesperidin, naringenin and hesperetin. C. aurantium fruits and derivatives contained mainly glycosylated flavanones: in particular, naringin and neohesperidin were found to be the major flavonoids and their concentrations ranged from 1.80 to 26.30 and from 3.90 to 14.71 mg/g, respectively. The levels of aglycones were very low in all samples tested.

Abstract
A capillary electrophoretic (CE) method for the determination of formoterol (FOR) in a pharmaceutical preparation is described. Analysis was made in a background electrolyte consisting of 20 % acetonitrile and 50 mM phosphoric acid at pH 2.5, using fused silica capillary (86 cm x 75 microm ID), 27 kV potential, and detecting at 200 nm. Under these electrophoretic conditions 3, 4-dihydroxybenzylamine used as an internal standard (IS) and FOR showed symmetrical peaks at 6.1 and 8.3 min., respectively. The inter-day and intra-day precision was examined in the concentration range of 2.98 x 10(-6) M to 8.94 x 10(-6) M. Good correlation and accuracy were obtained. Limit of detection, (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) values were 3.71 x 10(-7) M and 1.11 x 10(-6) M, respectively. The method was applied for the analysis of FOR in pharmaceutical inhaler capsules. The proposed method is reliable, precise, accurate, fast, and cost effective.

Abstract
The term amines encompasses a wide variety of compounds: monovalent or polyvalent amines, hydrophobic or hydrophilic amines, and combinations of all of these. Due to their charge, polyvalent amines such as the biogenic amines have very strong cation-exchange interaction with the cation-exchange groups in the stationary phase. Very high acid concentrations are required to elute them effectively from a high-capacity, carboxylated cation-exchange column. The eluent must contain a divalent ion to elute them from a sulfonated cation-exchange column due to its selectivity. Chromatography for these amines with a new "tailored" amine column of moderate capacity using a simple acidic eluent is described. The hydrophobic nature of other amines, such as long-carbon-chained amines, results in partitioning into the polymeric substrate of previous carboxylated stationary phases, so that organic solvent is required to elute them effectively. The substrate resin of this new "tailored" amine column is first coated so that, when it is functionalized in a subsequent step, this type of interaction is minimized. Examples are given. Methods that require eluent gradients and/or step changes of eluent concentration are especially well suited to this column because the background conductivity remains almost unchanged under gradient conditions.

Abstract
Bufuralol (BF), a nonselective beta-adrenoceptor blocking agent, has a chiral center in its molecule, yielding the enantiomers 1'R-BF and 1'S-BF. beta-Adrenoceptor blocking potency is much higher in 1'S-BF than in 1'R-BF. One of the metabolic pathways of BF is 1"-hydroxylation of an ethyl group attached at the aromatic 7-position forming a carbinol metabolite (1"-hydroxybufuralol, 1"-OH-BF), and further oxidation (or dehydrogenation) produces a ketone metabolite (1-oxobufuralol, 1"-Oxo-BF). Both 1"-OH-BF and 1"-Oxo-BF are known to have beta-adrenoceptor blocking activities comparable to or higher than those of the parent drug. The 1"-hydroxylation introduces another chiral center into the BF molecule and four 1"-OH-BF diastereomers are formed from BF racemate in mammals, including humans, making elucidation of the metabolic profiles complicated. HPLC methods employing derivatization, reversed phase, or chiral columns have been developed to efficiently separate the four 1"-OH-BF diastereomers formed from BF enantiomers or racemate. Accumulated in vitro experimental results revealed that 1'R-BF is a much more preferential substrate than 1'S-BR for BF 1"-hydroxylation in human liver microsomes. Kinetic studies using recombinant human cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes indicate that CYP2D6 serves as a major BF 1"-hydroxylase and that CYP1A2 and CYP2C19 also contribute to BF 1"-hydroxylation in human livers. This mini-review summarizes the knowledge reported so far on the pharmacology of BF and its metabolites and the profiles of BF metabolism, especially focusing on the stereoselectivity in the oxidation of BF mainly in human livers and recombinant CYP enzymes.

Abstract
N-Acylethanolamines (NAEs) are an important family of lipid-signaling molecules. Arachidonylethanolamide (anandamide) (AEA), palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), and oleoylethanolamide (OEA) are co-produced from similar phospholipid precursors when neurons are stimulated. AEA is an endogenous agonist (endocannabinoid) for cannabinoid receptors. It binds with higher affinity to type CB1 than to type CB2 cannabinoid receptors. PEA does not bind to CB1, while the hypothesis that it reacts with putative CB2-like receptors has been questioned. OEA does not activate currently known cannabinoid receptors, but it mimics the effects of AEA and cannabinoids in reducing the fertilizing capacity of sea urchin sperm. OEA and PEA also act as entourage compounds by inhibiting the hydrolysis of AEA by fatty acid amide hydrolase. Cannabinoid receptors and/or AEA are present in mammalian reproductive organs including the testis, epididymis, prostate, ovary, uterus, sperm, preimplantation embryo and placenta, as well as prostatic and mammary carcinomas. We now report that analysis by high-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS) shows the presence of AEA, PEA, and OEA in human seminal plasma, mid-cycle oviductal fluid, follicular fluid, amniotic fluid, milk, and fluids from malignant ovarian cysts. Previous studies showed that AEA-signaling via cannabinoid receptors regulates capacitation and fertilizing potential of human sperm, early embryonic development and blastocyst implantation into the uterine mucosa of rodents, as well as proliferation of human mammary and prostatic carcinomas. Current results imply that NAEs also may modulate follicular maturation and ovulation, normal and pathological ovarian function, placental and fetal physiology, lactation, infant physiology, and behavior. Collectively, these findings suggest that NAEs in human reproductive fluids may help regulate multiple physiological and pathological processes in the reproductive system, and imply that exogenous cannabinoids delivered by marijuana smoke might impact these processes. This study has potential medical and public policy ramifications because of the incidence of marijuana abuse by adolescents and adults in our society, previously documented reproductive effects of marijuana, and the ongoing debate about medicinal use of marijuana and cannabinoids.

Abstract
Three types of chiral stationary phase were used to achieve chromatographic resolution of enantiomers of rac-11-dihydrooracin (DHO), the principal metabolite of a potential cytostatic drug oracin. Chiralcel OD-R as a chiral stationary phase with mobile phase comprising acetonitrile (modifier) and sodium perchlorate (buffering component) proved to be the most suitable system. Chemometric optimisation based on the Box-Wilson central composite design was employed to find the optimum resolution. The optimum factor space was defined by three parameters: temperature, modifier concentration and buffer concentration. Newly designed chromatographic response functions based on a combination of resolution R(S) and retention time of the last component eluted t(RL) were employed to evaluate the resolution with regard to quality and quantity. Optimum values predicted from those models of response surfaces were in excellent agreement with the experimental results. The chromatographic resolution of DHO enantiomers is suitable for xenobiochemical studies on stereoselectivity and stereospecificity of biotransformation enzymes.

N-acylethanolamines are metabolized by lipoxygenase and amidohydrolase in competing pathways during cottonseed imbibition. PLANT PHYSIOLOGY 2002; 130:391-401.

Abstract
Saturated and unsaturated N-acylethanolamines (NAEs) occur in desiccated seeds primarily as 16C and 18C species with N-palmitoylethanolamine and N-linoleoylethanolamine (NAE 18:2) being most abundant. Here, we examined the metabolic fate of NAEs in vitro and in vivo in imbibed cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) seeds. When synthetic [1-(14)C]N-palmitoylethanolamine was used as a substrate, free fatty acids (FFA) were produced by extracts of imbibed cottonseeds. When synthetic [1-(14)C]NAE 18:2 was used as a substrate, FFA and an additional lipid product(s) were formed. On the basis of polarity, we presumed that the unidentified lipid was a product of the lipoxygenase (LOX) pathway and that inclusion of the characteristic LOX inhibitors nordihydroguaiaretic acid and eicosatetraynoic acid reduced its formation in vitro and in vivo. The conversion of NAE 18:2 in imbibed cottonseed extracts to 12-oxo-13-hydroxy-N-(9Z)-octadecanoylethanolamine was confirmed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, indicating the presence of 13-LOX and 13-allene oxide synthase, which metabolized NAE 18:2. Cell fractionation studies showed that the NAE amidohydrolase, responsible for FFA production, was associated mostly with microsomes, whereas LOX, responsible for NAE 18:2-oxylipin production, was distributed in cytosol-enriched fractions and microsomes. The highest activity toward NAE by amidohydrolase was observed 4 to 8 h after imbibition and by LOX 8 h after imbibition. Our results collectively indicate that two pathways exist for NAE metabolism during seed imbibition: one to hydrolyze NAEs in a manner similar to the inactivation of endocannabinoid mediators in animal systems and the other to form novel NAE-derived oxylipins. The rapid depletion of NAEs by these pathways continues to point to a role for NAE metabolites in seed germination.

Abstract
The chiral recognition mechanism of amylose CSPs has been described by achieving the enantiomeric resolution of (+/-)-nebivolol on Chiralpak AD and Chiralpak AD-RH columns with methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, 1-butanol as mobile phases at different flow rates. The energies of interactions of methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol and 1-butanol with both phases were calculated. The (+)-RRRS enantiomer eluted first when using methanol, ethanol and 1-propanol, while the elution order was reversed when using 2-propanol and 1-butanol as the mobile phases. It has been concluded that the reversal elution order observed was due in part to the chiral cavities on the amylose CSP which were responsible for the bondings of different magnitude between chiral stationary phase and enantiomers, which are influenced with the type of alcohol used as mobile phase on the conformation of the 3,5-dimethyl phenyl carbamate moiety on the pyranose ring system of the amylose.

Abstract
Racemic nebivolol, a beta-adrenergic blocker showing very promising beta-adrenergic antagonist properties in comparison to other beta-adrenergic blockers has been resolved by HPLC under normal and reversed phase modes. The columns used were Chiralpak AD and Chiralpak AD-RH containing amylose tris (3,5-dimethyl phenyl carbamate) as the chiral selector. The mobile phases used were pure ethanol and 1-propanol. The flow rates used were 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 ml/min. The best resolution was achieved at 0.5 ml/min. flow rate with ethanol and 1-propanol on both Chiralpak AD and Chiralpak AD-RH stationary phases. The values of infinity for both alcohols on Chiralpak AD were 1.38 while on Chiralpak AD-RH these values were 1.41 and 1.38 respectively. The values of Rs for ethanol and 1-propanol were 2.63 and 1.71 on Chiralpak AD and 1.73 and 1.76 on Chiralpak AD-RH respectively.

Abstract
Chiral separation of basic compounds was achieved by using 75 or 100 microm ID fused-silica capillaries packed with a vanoomycin-modified diol silica stationary phase. The capillary was firstly packed for about 12 cm with a slurry mixture composed of diolsilica (3:1) then with the vancomycin modified diol-silica (3:1) (23 cm), and finally with diol-silica (3:1) for about 2 cm. Frits were prepared by a heating wire at the two ends of the capillary; the detector window was prepared at 8.5 cm from the end of the capillary where vancomycin was not present. The influence of the mobile phase composition (pH and concentration, organic modifier type and concentration) on the velocity of the electroosmotic flow, chiral resolution and enantioselectivity was studied. Good enantiomeric resolution was achieved for atenolol, oxprenolol, propranolol, and venlafaxine using a mobile phase composition of 100 mM ammonium acetate solution (pH 6)/water/acetonitrile (5:5:90 v/v/v) while for terbutaline a mixture of 5:15:80 v/v/v provided the best separations. The use of methanol instead of acetonitrile caused a general increase of enantiomer resolution of the studied compounds together with a reduction of efficiency and detector response. However, the combination of acetonitrile and methanol in the mobile phase (as, e.g., 10% methanol and 80% acetonitrile) allowed to improve the enantiomer resolution with satisfactory detector response.

Abstract
Glycation of both protein and lipid components is believed to be involved in LDL oxidation. However, the relative importance of lipid and protein glycation in the oxidation process has not been established, and products of lipid glycation have not been isolated. Using glucosylated phosphatidylethanolamine (Glc PtdEtn) prepared synthetically, we have identified glycated diacyl and alkenylacyl species among the ethanolamine phospholipids in LDL. Accumulation of these glycation products in LDL incubated with glucose showed a time- and glucose concentration-dependent increase. LDL specifically enriched with Glc PtdEtn (25 nmol/mg protein) showed increased susceptibility to lipid oxidation when dialyzed against a 5-micromol/L Cu(2+) solution. The presence of this glucosylated lipid resulted in a 5-fold increase in production of phospholipid-bound hydroperoxides and 4-fold increase in phospholipid-bound aldehydes. Inclusion of glucosylated phosphatidylethanolamine in the surface lipid monolayer of the LDL resulted in rapid loss of polyunsaturated cholesteryl esters from the interior of the particle during oxidation. Glycated ethanolamine phospholipids were also isolated and identified from atherosclerotic plaques collected from both diabetic and nondiabetic subjects. The present findings provide direct evidence for the previously proposed causative effect of lipid glycation on LDL oxidation.

Abstract
In the course of screening of potential leads for beta2-receptor agonists, we found a novel beta2-adrenoceptor selective agonist, S1319, from a marine sponge Dysidea sp. The active compound was isolated and structurally characterized as 4-hydroxy-7-[1-(1-hydroxy-2-methylamino)ethyl]-1,3-benzothiazole-2(3H)-o ne, a new member of the beta2-adrenoceptor agonist. This is the first example of a sponge-derived beta2-adrenoceptor agonist.

Abstract
An analytical method for the rapid isolation and recovery of the homologous series of 2-aminoethanols, a class of organic compounds of importance to wood preservative treatment, is successfully developed. The method is applied to an aqueous solution of copper amine (copper[II] hydroxide complexed monoethanolamine) and to copper-amine-treated sawdust. The method incorporates a gas chromatograph-ion-trap mass spectrometer. A discussion of the secondary equilibrium effects involved when ionizable analytes are extracted from an aqueous phase with respect to organic bases is presented. Using 2-propanol as the extractant coupled to a salt-saturated aqueous phase results in recoveries of 63% for 2-aminoethanol, 51% for N,N-dimethyl-2-aminoethanol, and 56% for N-methyl-2-aminoethanol for a single liquid-liquid extraction. The choice of 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol as an internal standard is found to be quite suitable. A comparison of the precision and accuracy for an external versus an internal mode of instrument calibration demonstrates that the internal standard mode is preferable for this manual injection.

Abstract
N-acyl phosphatidylethanolamine (N-acyl PE) and free N-acylethanolamine (NAE) in mouse peritoneal macrophages were identified and quantified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) of tertbutyldimethylsilyl derivatives in the presence of internal standards synthesized from [1,1,2,2-2H4]ethanolamine. N-acyl PE was present at a level of 123-187 pmol/mumol lipid P (521-768 pmol/10(8) cells), with arachidonic acid making up about 3-4% of the N-acyl moieties. NAE, on the other hand, was present at a level of only 17-30 pmol/mumol lipid P (70-121 pmol/10(8) cells), with N-arachidonoylethanolamine (anandamide) making up less than 1% of total NAE. Use of deuterium labeled internal standards and optimization of GC-MS conditions makes it possible to detect as little as 0.1 ng of saturated and 1 ng (3 pmol) of polyunsaturated NAEs in a lipid extract. The present method can be used to determine agonist-induced changes in the levels and compositions of N-acyl PE and NAE.

Abstract
Direct separation of enantiomers of denopamine was investigated by capillary electrophoresis employing charged and uncharged cyclodextrin (CD) derivatives. Uncharged beta-type CDs, having hydrophobic groups, were essential for the enantioseparation of denopamine; of these, especially dimethyl-beta-CD was effective. Among charged CDs, gamma-type as well as beta-type CDs were found effective for the enantioseparation of denopamine. Reversal of migration order of R-form (active) and S-form enantiomers was investigated by using two types of coated capillaries: (i) an amine capillary with an inner wall coated with dimethylamino groups, and (ii) a polyacrylamide-coated capillary. Manipulation of migration order could be easily performed by selecting suitable capillaries, buffer pH, and CDs.

Abstract
The levels of N-arachidonoylethanolamine (anandamide), an endogenous cannabinoid-receptor ligand, and a relevant molecule, N-arachidonoylphosphatidylethanolamine (N-arachidonoylPtdEtn), in rat brain were investigated using a newly developed sensitive analytical method. We found that rat brain contains small but significant amounts of these two types of N-arachidonoyl lipids (4.3 pmol/g tissue and 50.2 pmol/g tissue, respectively). Then, we investigated how N-arachidonoylethanolamine (anandamide) is produced in the brain. We found that anandamide can be formed enzymatically via two separate synthetic pathways in the brain: enzymatic condensation of free arachidonic acid and ethanolamine; and formation of N-arachidonoylPtdEtn from PtdEtn and arachidonic acid esterified at the 1-position of phosphatidyl-choline (PtdCho), and subsequent release of anandamide from N-arachidonoylPtdEtn through the action of a phosphodiesterase. We confirmed that rat brain contains both the enzyme activities and lipid substrates involved in these reactions. Several lines of evidence strongly suggest that the second pathway, rather than the first one, meets the requirements and conditions for the synthesis of various species of N-acylethanolamine including anandamide in the brain.

Abstract
Direct separation of enantiomers of denopamine was investigated by two separation methods. One is capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) using cyclodextrins (CDs) (CD-CZE) and the other is high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using CD immobilized chiral stationary phases (CD-CSPs). Enantiomers of denopamine were successfully resolved by employing heptakis (2,6-di-O-methyl)-beta-cyclodextrin (DM-beta-CD) and acetyl-beta-cyclodextrin (AC-beta-CD), and partially resolved with heptakis(2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)-beta-cyclodextrin (TM-beta-CD), hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-beta-CD) and beta-CD polymer under acidic conditions. Separation of enantiomers of denopamine by HPLC was also successful with one of the CD-CSPs, where perphenylated beta-CD (Ph beta-CD) was immobilized. In CD-CZE, some polymeric additives, such as hydroxy-propylmethylcellulose (HPMC) and polyvinylalcohol (PVA), and a coated capillary were used to improve the enantioseparation of denopamine. Method validations such as linearity, recovery and repeatability, etc., were investigated for HPLC, and the method was applied to the optical purity testing of the drug substances and in tablet form.

Abstract
Recent reports have suggested that N-arachidonoylethanolamine (anandamide) acts as an endogenous ligand for cannabinoid receptors in mammalian brain. Here we describe methods for the extraction, purification and analysis of anandamide and related N-fatty acyl-ethanolamines (NAEs). Liquid-phase extraction, silica gel G column chromatography and thin-layer chromatography (TLC) were employed for sample fractionation. Three analytical high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods for purification of NAEs were developed. Finally, analyses of NAEs by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) are described. The applications of these analytical methods to the identification of anandamide and related NAEs in cell cultures as well as of artifacts in biosynthetic studies are described.

Abstract
While phospholipase D-mediated hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine is well documented, we have recently shown that phospholipase D-mediated hydrolysis of phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn) [Kiss, Z., and Anderson, W.B., J. Biol. Chem. 264, 1483-1487 (1989); J. Biol. Chem. 265, 7345-7350 (1990)] is equally prominent. This made it necessary to define in detail the conditions required for the detection of agonist-stimulated PtdEtn hydrolysis. Using the [14C]ethanolamine-prelabeled rat-1 fibroblast model and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) as a model compound with the known ability to stimulate phospholipase D, we demonstrated that optimal detection of TPA-induced ethanolamine release requires i) fractionation of water-soluble ethanolamine products; ii) addition of unlabeled ethanolamine to quench the phosphorylation of newly formed [14C]ethanolamine; and/or iii) prolonged preincubation of prelabeled cells in an isotope-free medium before the addition of TPA. This preincubation step reduced the cellular content of unincorporated 14C-labeled ethanolamine metabolites and improves the signal-to-noise ratio.

Abstract
A preliminary study of the pharmacokinetic parameters of t-Butylaminoethanethiol (TBAESH) was performed after administration of a single dose (35 mg/kg) either orally or intravenously. Plasma or blood samples were treated with dithiothreitol, perchloric acid and, after filtration, submitted to further purification with anionic resin. In the final step the drug was retained on a cationic resin column, eluted with NaCl lM and detected according to the method of Ellman (1958). The results suggested a pharmacokinetic behavior related to a one open compartment model with the following values for the total drug: area under the intravenous curve (AUCi.v.): 443 +/- 24.0; AUCoral: 85.5 +/- 14.5 micrograms min.ml-1; elimination rate constant: 0.069 +/- 0.0055 min-1, biological half-life: 10.0 +/- 0.80 min; distribution volume 1.15 +/- 0.15 ml/g; biodisponibility: 0.19 +/- 0.02. From a pharmacokinetic standpoint, TBAESH seems to have no advantage over the analogous disulfide compound.

Abstract
A compound that can enhance the apparent synthesis of acetylcholine in cultured explants of the medial septal nucleus has been purified from rat brain and identified as phosphoethanolamine. Acetylcholine synthesis is stimulated two- to threefold in cultures grown for 5 days in the presence of phosphoethanolamine, ethanolamine, or cytidine 5'-diphosphoethanolamine at concentrations above 100 microM. This effect appears to result from an increase in the accumulation of choline via the high-affinity, sodium-dependent uptake mechanism. The development of choline acetyltransferase activity is not affected. Phosphoethanolamine and ethanolamine seem to enhance the ability of developing cholinergic neurons to utilize choline accumulated via the sodium-dependent high-affinity choline uptake mechanism for the preferential production of acetylcholine without increasing the general metabolism of the cultures. Choline itself and its related derivatives are not stimulatory for these effects.

Abstract
High-performance liquid chromatographic methods for the separation and quantitation of phospholipids were developed and shown to give sensitive, reliable measurements of tissue phospholipids, including difficult-to-resolve pairs such as choline plasmalogen (plasmenylcholine) and phosphatidylcholine, choline glycerophospholipids and sphingomyelin, phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylserine, and phosphatidylserine and lysophosphatidylethanolamine. Separations of most phospholipids including those mentioned above are more complete than in existing procedures, and require only 40 min per injection. Utilization of the hexane-2-propanol-water system has an advantage over separation techniques that employ acidic solvents in that the plasmalogens are not hydrolyzed and a less degradative environment for labile lipids is provided. Further, a rapid high-performance liquid chromatographic procedure for the separation of intact ethanolamine plasmalogen (plasmenylethanolamine) from phosphatidylethanolamine was developed. Previous procedures have required derivatized samples or acid hydrolysis of the plasmalogen vinyl ether linkage. A slight modification of the primary method (method I) increases the resolution of lysophosphatidylethanolamine from other classes (method II). A third modification (method III) can replace the standard silicic acid column separation of lipids into neutral, glycolipid, and phospholipid fractions.

Abstract
Two methods utilizing ion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography have been developed for the separation of choline- and ethanolamine-containing metabolic precursors for phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine. Both methods employ an analytical anion-exchange column supplemented with a cation-exchange column; the latter is required only to separate betaine from choline. Complete separation of choline- and ethanolamine-labeled metabolites from extracts of Chinese hamster ovary cells can be achieved in 20 min.

Abstract
A mass fragmentographic method was used for determination of low molecular weight compounds in perfusates collected in vivo in the pigeon optic tectum by a push-pull cannula technique. 2-Aminoethanol (ethanolamine) could be collected under resting conditions (5.6 +/- 0.09 pmol/min). Electrical stimulation of optic nerve induced a 2.3-fold increase of the tectal ethanolamine outflow whereas that of GABA was not affected. Ethanolamine applied iontophoretically to tectal neurons did not influence their spontaneous discharge; however, their glutamate-induced excitation as well as the GABA-induced depression were enhanced if ethanolamine was applied simultaneously. It is suggested that optic nerve stimulation exerts a neuromodulatory effect on tectal neurons.

Abstract
A fluorometric method for the simultaneous analyses of phenethylamine, phenylethanolamine, tyramine and octopamine has been developed. The method involves ion-exchange chromatography, derivatization with fluorescamine, solvent extraction and then separation by thin-layer chromatography. The fluorescent spots are then quantitated by scanning. The detection limits of this method are about 10 pmoles for phenethylamine, phenylethanolamine and tyramine, and 20 pmoles for octopamine. The method was used for simultaneous analyses of putative neurotransmitter amines in whole rat brain.

Abstract
A careful examination of the low-molecular-weight solutes released during mild acid hydrolysis of the lipopolysaccharide of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (N.C.T.C. 1999) revealed the presence of ethanolamine triphosphate. During storage, the compound decomposed to give ethanolamine pyrophosphate, identified in a previous study (Drewry et al., 1971); PP(i) may be a further decomposition product. Evidence for the attachment of ethanolamine triphosphate to a polysaccharide fraction was obtained, but the possibility that some was attached to the lipid A moiety was not excluded. Basic compounds released during the hydrolysis of lipopolysaccharide included amino acids, polyamines and oligopeptides.
