Published: October 2011

NMR-based analysis of glycans by directly observing hydroxyl protons has been difficult because of their inherently fast exchange with water. We observed hydroxyl proton exchanges in a LewisX-LewisX interaction by using deuterium isotope shifts on (13)C-NMR. This strategy is suitable for analyzing weak interactions by identifying involved protons.

Article Synopsis
  • Robust annotation of compounds is essential in metabolomics, and the INADEQUATE NMR experiment is a powerful yet underused tool for structural elucidation due to the lack of community platforms integrating it with other NMR methods.
  • * PyINETA is introduced as an open-source platform that automates the use of INADEQUATE for structural analysis, integrates it with the C-resolved experiment (C-JRES), and maintains a transparent annotation pipeline.
  • * Evaluation of PyINETA in a mouse study demonstrated its capability to track the distribution of C-labeled amino acids across different tissues, revealing specific metabolite enrichment in organs like the liver and spleen.*

Plant-Derived and Synthetic Nicotine in E-Cigarettes: Is Differentiation with NMR Spectroscopy Possible?

Chem Res Toxicol

December 2024

Spectral Service AG, Emil-Hoffmann-Straße 33, Cologne 50996, Germany.

To circumvent regulatory frameworks, many producers start to substitute plant-derived nicotine (tobacco-derived nicotine, TDN) by synthetic nicotine (tobacco-free nicotine, TFN) in e-cigarette products. Due to the higher costs of enantiomeric synthesis and purification of TFN, there is a need to develop an analytical method that clearly distinguishes between the two sources. To trace nicotine's origin, its enantiomeric purity can be postulated by H NMR spectroscopy using ()-(-)-1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diyl hydrogen phosphate (BNPPA) as a chiral complexing agent.

Octylamine-oxalic acid (Oct-Oxa) deep eutectic solvent for the separation of Sudan II from food samples.

Food Chem

February 2025

Erciyes University, Faculty of Sciences, Department of Chemistry, 38039 Kayseri, Türkiye; Technology Research and Application Center (ERU-TAUM), Erciyes University, 38039 Kayseri, Türkiye; United Methodist University, The College of Natural & Applied Sciences, Monrovia, Liberia.

This work presents a novel deep eutectic solvent (DES) formed of octylamine and oxalic acid (Oct-Oxa) that was effectively used to separate Sudan II dye from food and water samples. The prepared DES was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (C NMR). Key parameters were optimized, including a short ultrasonication time of 30 s and a very low DES volume of only 500 μL that could be separated within one minute of centrifugation.

Article Synopsis
  • Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) metabolomic analysis was used to study variations in nineteen different Sicilian extra virgin olive oils (EVOOs) based on their growth conditions, specifically altitude and soil type.
  • The research employed a new data-processing method called MARA-NMR, allowing for the quantification of multiple metabolite classes with less experimental time compared to traditional methods, which would normally take much longer and require more procedures.
  • The study also highlights how the composition of EVOOs is significantly influenced by local environmental conditions, emphasizing the need for improvements in NMR techniques to better assess quality, authenticity, and the impact of climate change on olive oil production in Sicily.
