Forced degradation study is a common practice to assess the potential modifications and degradation pathways of mAbs upon extreme conditions, including light exposure and extreme local pH. The degraded samples are subject to characterization using a wide array of analyses, including ion exchange chromatography (IEC) for charge variants and size exclusion chromatography (SEC) for size variants. In this proof-of-concept study, a two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC) approach was successfully applied to mAb forced degradation samples for evaluation of size distribution in the IEC charge profile. The charge variant peaks in first-dimension (1D) IEC were fractioned by a heart-cutting schedule, and the integrated peak parking feature accommodated later-eluting 1D cuts when the previous ones were still under second-dimension (2D) analysis. Thus, for a singly IEC injection, all IEC fractions were acquired by the 2D for SEC analysis. This study demonstrated that 2D SEC was compatible with 1D IEC for 2D-LC analysis. The method sensitivity was sufficient to determine the aggregates and fragments in each individual IEC cut. The calculated total aggregates and fragments in the stressed mAb-1 samples were comparable to those detected by one dimensional SEC. Most importantly, the 2D IEC-SEC approach was capable of bridging the mAb charge and size variants in a real-time and efficient manner. It was observed that aggregates were enriched in the most basic region in the IEC charge profile, especially in the highly degraded samples. This is the first IEC-SEC 2D-LC application for intact antibody analysis as per the authors’ knowledge.","PeriodicalId":15534,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chromatography & Separation Techniques","volume":"105 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75694546","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These oils are often used for their flavor and their therapeutic or odoriferous properties, in a wide selection of products such as foods, medicines, and cosmetics. Extraction of essential oils is one of the most time and effort consuming processes. Cinnamon is an important herbal medicine with good effects of health promotion and disease prevention. In this work, the volatile compounds of cinnamon bark were extracted by Hydrodistillation and Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) techniques. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry was used to identify and quantify the volatile compound composition. The results indicated that cinnamaldehyde was the major component with the highest % area of 89.324% in the volatile oils extracted by MAE while in hydrodistillation method cinnamaldehyde was about 68%. MAE has been recognized as a technique with several advantages over other extraction methods, such as reduction of costs, extraction time, energy consumption, and CO2 emissions. MAE technique is a green technique which is highlighted by increased extraction yield, decreased time and solvent consumption, moreover the reproducibility is better. For this purpose, various process parameters such as solid loading, water volume, microwave power and extraction time were studied in detail and optimized using the Taguchi method and Artificial neural network. The optimized extraction conditions were obtained at, solid loading of 30 g, water volume of 250 ml, microwave power of 700 W and extraction time of 25 min.

They are potent ion-channel neurotoxins which have higher selective toxicity for insects compared to mammals. These phytochemicals have an exceptionally safe environmental profile and are an attractive natural alternative to organophosphate insecticides currently used in agriculture. The oil extract contains six pyrethrins compounds, which are structurally related esters. Isolation of reference standards for pyrethrins and their derivatives in multi-gram quantities is a prerequisite for studying toxicity and soil degradation for these natural pyrethrins. Chromatography is difficult because of the high hydrophobicity and close structural similarity. The isolated pyrethrin compounds also have poor stability because they are photosensitive. To facilitate these studies, we have developed a twostep purification process, in which the two groups were first separated by normal phase liquid chromatography on silica gel. The separation of pyrethrin, cinerin, and jasmolin within each group was achieved by centrifugal partition chromatography (CPC). We explored and successfully optimized solvent systems that were subsequently applied to achieve multi-gram scale separation. The pyrethrins I group compounds were separated using a solvent system containing heptane-methanol-acetonitrile (6:1:2, v/v) in ascending mode. The pyrethrins II group compounds were separated using a solvent system containing heptane-terbutylmethyl ether-acetonitrile-water (8:1:5:1.5, v/v) also in ascending mode. In both cases, gram quantities of individual pyrethrins with purity exceeding 99% were produced.","PeriodicalId":15534,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chromatography & Separation Techniques","volume":"44 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86783937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
