Abstract: An Ion-exchange/derivatization procedure is described for the determination of C_1-C_5 volatile fatty acids in a range of difficult aqueous matrices. The resulting p-bromophenacyl esters may be separated via either HPLC or GLC techniques depending on desired selectivity and sensitivity. Micromolar concentrations of these acids can be determined to better than ±0.20 μM within 95% confidence intervals. Sewage and marine sediment pore water analyses can be performed on small samples (<25 ml). Similarly, nanomolar determinations are possible in 1-4 L rainwater samples. The analytical method is rapid, economical, and lends itself to routine applications involving parallel determinations of other soluble compounds.

Abstract: A high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) procedure with an electrochemical detector (ECD) has been developed for the analysis of fatty acids, bile acids and prostaglandins. These carboxylic acids were converted to p-hydroxyanilides by reaction with p-aminophenol in the presence of 2-bromo-1-methylpyridinium iodide and triethylamine. The anilides were oxidized in a two-electron process and analyzed by reversed-phase HPLC-ECD. The detection limits were 0.5, 2 and 2ng for stearic acid, chenodeoxycholic acid and prostaglandin F2a, respectively. The method was applied to the determination of free fatty acids in guinea pig plasma and bile acids in human bile.

Abstract: The gas chromatographic and mass spectrometric properties of t-butyldimethylsilyl derivatives of organic acids are investigated. Reaction conditions are established for complete derivatization of most commonly occurring functional groups in organic acids with t-butyldimethylchlorosilane in dimethylformamide with imidazole as a catalyst. The chromatographic separation on a capillary column of a mixture of trimethylsilylated aromatic acids is compared with that of the corresponding t-butyldimethylsilyl derivatives. The quality of the electron impact mass spectra of both derivatives of organic acids is compared. The t-butyldimethylsilyl derivatives of organic acids are combining an improved chromatographic and mass spectrometric behaviour with a good thermal and hydrolytic stability as compared with the trimethylsilyl derivatives The method has proved to be very useful in the gas chromatographic mass spectrometric analysis of organic acid profiles.

Abstract: A selected ion monitoring method for the determination of 6-oxo-PGF1 alpha, the stable end-product of prostacyclin, in biological fluids has been developed. In this method, biosynthetically prepared [2H6]-6-oxo-PGF1 alpha is used as internal standard. The method involves extraction, thin-layer chromatography purification and derivatization into the methyl ester, methoxime, trimethylsilyl ether derivatives by carrying out the methoximation first. Quantitative gas chromatographic mass spectrometric analysis is performed in the electron impact mode by monitoring the [M - (TMSOH + CH3O)]+ fragment ions. The use of this method in the measurement of 6-oxo-PGF1 alpha in serous fluids and in incubation media of serous tissues is described.

Dehydroepiandrosterone and other principal 17-ketosteroids in human blood were quantitatively derivatized into p-nitrophenylhydrazones and efficiently separated by HPLC/EC on a μBondapak C1 8 column using 0.5%. NH4H2PO4/methanol (2:7, v/v).

TL;DR: A comparison of the amounts of product formed following incubation of labeled and unlabeled delta 1-pyrroline indicated a significant isotope effect in the formation of 2-Pyrrolidinone, suggesting that there are two separate pathways involved in the reaction.
Abstract: delta 1-Pyrroline is a putrescine metabolite that is biotransformed by rabbit liver preparations to 4-aminobutanoic acid and its lactam, 2-pyrrolidinone. Analysis of dilute aqueous solutions of delta 1-pyrroline by proton nuclear magnetic resonance indicated the the predominating species in the liver incubation preparations was delta 1-pyrroline monomer, although other species, such as 4-aminobutyraldehyde an delta 1-pyrroline timer, may exist in equilibrium with the monomer. [2H12]-delta 1-Pyrroline trimer was synthesized from [2H5]pyrrolidine by conversion to the N-chloro derivative followed by dehydrohalogenation. 4-Aminobutanoic acid was measured by a gas chromatographic mass spectrometric assay after derivatization with dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal. The 4-aminobutanoic acid homologue, 5-aminovaleric acid, served as internal standard. 2-Pyrrolidinone was hydrolyzed and measured as 4-aminobutanoic acid. A comparison of the amounts of product formed following incubation of labeled and unlabeled delta 1-pyrroline indicated a significant isotope effect in the formation of 2-pyrrolidinone. The influence of the label was much less on 4-aminobutanoic acid production. The results suggest that there are two separate pathways involved in the reaction.
