Chiral Monolithic Silica-Based HPLC Columns for Enantiomeric Separation and Determination: Functionalization of Chiral Selector and Recognition of Selector-Selectand Interaction.

This review draws attention to the use of chiral monolithic silica HPLC columns for the enantiomeric separation and determination of chiral compounds. Properties and advantages of monolithic silica HPLC columns are also highlighted in comparison to conventional particle-packed, fused-core, and sub-2-µm HPLC columns. Nano-LC capillary monolithic silica columns as well as polymeric-based and hybrid-based monolithic columns are also demonstrated to show good enantioresolution abilities.

Chiral Capillary Electrokinetic Chromatography: Principle and Applications, Detection and Identification, Design of Experiment, and Exploration of Chiral Recognition Using Molecular Modeling.

This work reviews the literature of chiral capillary electrokinetic chromatography from January 2016 to March 2021. This is done to explore the state-of-the-art approach and recent developments carried out in this field. The separation principle of the technique is described and supported with simple graphical illustrations, showing migration under normal and reversed polarity modes of the separation voltage.

Novel UPLC-MS/MS method for standardization of niazimicin content in edible seeds and leaves of Moringa oleifera Lam.

Moringa oleifera (MO) is a highly nutritious plant, whose leaves and seed pods are consumed in Africa, Asia, sub-Himalayan regions and South America. A novel ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method for the standardization of the bioactive thiocarbamate compound from MO, niazimicin (NZ) in seeds and leaves, is developed, optimized and validated according to the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines, using desipramine as the internal standard. Multiple reaction monitoring detection of transitions 358.

Contribution of and genetic variations to the incidence of acute coronary syndrome and to vitamin D serum level.

Cardiovascular diseases remain a major public health burden worldwide. It was reported that vitamin D protects the cardiovascular system through several mechanisms mainly by hindering atherosclerosis development. Genetic variations in vitamin D metabolic pathway were found to affect vitamin D levels.

Response surface methodology for the determination of the design space of enantiomeric separations on cinchona-based zwitterionic chiral stationary phases by high performance liquid chromatography.

Quality-by-Design approach for enantioselective HPLC method development surpasses Quality-by-Testing in offering the optimal separation conditions with the least number of experiments and in its ability to describe the method's Design Space visually which helps to determine enantiorecognition to a significant extent. Although some schemes exist for enantiomeric separations on Cinchona-based zwitterionic stationary phases, the exact design space and the weights by which each of the chromatographic parameters influences the separation have not yet been statistically studied. In the current work, a screening design followed by a Response Surface Methodology optimization design were adopted for enantioseparation optimization of 3 model drugs namely the acidic Fmoc leucine, the amphoteric tryptophan and the basic salbutamol.

miR-29a Promotes Lipid Droplet and Triglyceride Formation in HCV Infection by Inducing Expression of SREBP-1c and CAV1.

To examine the regulation of SREBP-1c and CAV1 by microRNA-29a (miR-29a) in cells infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) in an attempt to control HCV-induced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. In order to examine the manipulation of SREBP-1c and CAV1 by miR-29a, oleic acid (OA)-treated JFH-I-infected Huh-7 cells were used. OA was added 24 h post-transfection and gene expression was investigated by qRT-PCR at 48 h post treatment.

Design-of-experiment approach for HPLC analysis of 25-hydroxyvitamin D: a comparative assay with ELISA.

Although high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) is adopted as the method of choice for the determination of vitamin D and its metabolites in plasma, yet the unavailability of this expensive detection technique in many clinical laboratories makes ultraviolet (UV) detection the alternative of choice in many places worldwide. In this regard, determination of parameters affecting HPLC separation of vitamins D2, D3 and their hydroxyl metabolites in plasma in a systematic way would put an end to irrelevant trials for more optimization. A new robust HPLC-UV was developed, optimized using DryLab(®)2000 and validated for the determination of vitamins D2 and D3 and their 25-hydroxyl metabolites in plasma to achieve best resolution and least runtime where the metabolites elute in <10 min, where vitamin D2 is considered a feasible internal standard.
