A rapid and sensitive method for determining usnic acid of Lethariella cladonioides in rat was established using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) quadrupole time-of-flight (QTOF) tandem mass (MS/MS). Rat plasma was pretreated by mixture of acetonitrile and chloroform to precipitate plasma proteins. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a column ($50{\times}2.1$ mm, $5{\mu}m$) with a mobile phase consisting of water (containing $5{\times}10^{-3}$ M ammonium formate, pH was adjusted to 3.0 with formic acid) and acetonitrile (20:80, v/v) at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min. A tandem mass spectrometric detection with an electrospray ionization (ESI) interface was conducted via collision induced dissociation (CID) under negative ionization mode. The MS/MS transitions monitored were m/z 343.0448 ${\rightarrow}$ m/z 313.2017 for usnic acid and m/z 153.1024 ${\rightarrow}$ m/z 136.2136 for protocatechuic acid (internal standard). The linear range was calculated to be 2.0-160.0 ng/mL with a detection limit of 3.0 pg/mL. The inter- and intra-day accuracy and precision were within ${\pm}7.0%$. Pharmacokinetic study showed that the apartment of usnic acid in vivo confirmed to be a two compartment open model. The method was fully valid and will probably be an alternative for pharmacokinetic study of usnic acid.

키토산의 가수분해 산물인 키토산 올리고당의 효율적이고 단순화된 분리를 위하여 기질인 키토산을 담체화 하여 효소를 이용한 올리고당의 생산에 있어서 product의 새로운 분리법에 대한 가능성을 연구하였다. 기질로 사용한 chitosan bead 를 W/O emulsion 상분리법을 이용한 유기상의 방법과 키토산 용액을 알칼리 용액에 적하하는 수상의 방법으로 제조하였는데 bead가 효소와 접촉하는 표면적을 최대로 하기 위하여 구형으로 제조하였다. 이때 유기상 bead의 지름은 $200{\mu}m$였고, 수상 bead의 경우 $4000{\mu}m$, $100{\mu}m$, $30{\mu}m$였다. pH 와 온도, 효소의 양을 변화시켜 가면서 반응 시스템에서 최 적의 유기상 bead의 가수분해 조건을 조사한 결과 pH 6.0, 온도는 $50^{\circ}C$, 그리고 효소의 양은 40U이 최적임을 알 수 있 었다. 유기상 bead의 최적 가수분해 조건을 수상 bead에 적 용시켜 반응성을 살펴보았는데 반응에 사용된 수상 bead의 표면적이 유기상 bead에 비하여 낮음에도 불구하고 거의 동 일한 분해도를 나타내었다. 수상 bead의 경우 크기가 작을수록 높은 분해도를 나타냈으며, 각 bead를 사용하였을 때 생산된 최종 산물의 올리고당의 조성을 HPLC와 GPC로 분석하였는데, 유기상 bead로부터 생산된 올리고당의 조성은 주 로 2-4당이었으며, 수상 bead로부터 생산된 올리고당의 조성은 2-5당이었고, 평균 분자량은 M.W. 540과 M.W. 380이었다.

1-Nitropyrene (1-NP), 2-NP and 2-nitrofluoranthene (2-NFR) are useful markers for studying the atmospheric behaviors of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and nitropolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (NPAHs). However, present methods for measuring trace levels of these compounds are lesssensitive and laborious. Here we describe several improvements to a previously reported high-performance liquid chromatography-chemiluminescence detection system that allows it to determine trace levels of 1-, 2-NPs and 2-NFR. The proposed system was equipped with a reducer column packed with Pt/Rh instead of zinc whose life-time was limited. The combination of Cosmosil MS-II (monomeric ODS) and AR-II (polymeric ODS) columns was used instead of polymeric ODS columns as the separator column to improve the separation. An ethanol mixture with acetate buffer (pH 5.5) was used in place of an acetonitrile mixture with the same buffer to activate the reducer column. The same ethanol mixture was used as the mobile phase for the clean-up column. The switching time of the column switching valve was optimized to concentrate the amino-derivatives of above NPAHs quantitatively on the concentrator column. The concentrations of bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenly) oxalate and hydrogen peroxide in the chemiluminescence reagent solution were optimized to 0.4 mM and 30 mM, respectively, to increase the sensitivity. Under the above conditions, the detection limits (S/N=3) of 1-, 2-NPs and 2-NFR were 1 fmol (0.25 pg), 10 fmol (2.5 pg) and 4 fmol (1 pg), respectively. The proposed system was effectively used to determine trace levels of 1-, 2-NPs and 2-NFR in airborne particulates collected at Noto Peninsula. The atmospheric concentrations of 1-, 2-NPs and 2-NFR were not more than sub pg $m^{-3}$ levels. They were higher in winter (January) than in summer (July). In both seasons, the concentrations were in decreasing order, [2-NFR]>[1-NP]>[2-NP].

본 논문에서는 테트라사이클린(TCs)계 항생물질 4종(옥시테트라사이클린, 테트라사이클린, 클로르테트라사이클린, 독시사이클린)에 대하여, 액-액 추출 과정을 거쳐서 자외선검출기가 장착된 액체크로마토그래피를 이용하여 계란 중에서 TCs를 효율적으로 분석하는 방법을 확립하였다. 컬럼은 Zorbax Eclipse XDB-C8$(150mm{\times}4.6mm,\;5{\mu}m)$, 이동상 용매는 20 mM oxalic acid(pH 1.5), acetonitrile로 기울기 용리를 사용하였으며, 검출파장은 360 nm로, 그리고 유속은 1.0 ml/min, 주입량은 10 ml로 설정하여 분석하였다. 확립된 분석조건으로, TCs 4종에 대한 표준검정 곡선은 $50-800{\mu}g/kg$의 농도범위에서 상관계수가 0.994이상의 양호한 직선성을 나타내었다. 회수율은 $50-800{\mu}g/kg$의 농도범위에서 79.6-109.3%로, 향상된 추출효율을 나타내었으며, 검출한계는 $30{\mu}g/kg$이었고, 정량한계는 $50{\mu}g/kg$으로서 MRL/4 수준 이하까지는 충분히 검출 가능하였다. 또한, 일내(intra-day)와 일간(inter-day) 정밀도(RSD)는 0.1-10.9%, 1.1-13.7%이었다. 따라서, 확립된 분석방법은 계란 중의 TCs을 효과적으로 분석하는데 이용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

역상 액체 크로마토그래피에 의하여 $Pd(IEAA-NR)_2$ (R=H, $CH_3$, $C_2H_5$, $n-C_3H_7$, $C_6H_5-CH_2$, $n-C_4H_9$) 킬레이트의 용리 거동을 Micropak MCH-5 분리관을 사용하여 연구하고, 아울러 동시 분리분석에 미치는 흐름속도, 이동상의 세기, 분리관의 온도 등 여러 가지 인자들의 영향을 조사 검토하였다. 용리액으로 methanol/water의 이성분 용매를 사용하였으며, 모든 금속 킬레이트의 용매 세기 인자는 $0{\leq}log\;k^{\prime}{\leq}1$의 범위임을 확인하였고, 각 금속 킬레이트의 log k'과 이성분용매 중의 물의 부피분율을 도시한 결과 직선 관계가 성립하였다. 또한 뱃치법으로 측정한 분포비 ($D_c$)값과 k'값을 도시하여 본 결과 직선관계가 성립됨으로써 금속 킬레이트의 용리 메카니즘이 주로 소용매성 효과, 즉 소수성효과에 기인함을 확인하였다. 또한 금속 킬레이트의 머무름에 미치는 용량 인자와 온도와의 관계를 알아본 결과 좋은 직선성을 나타내고 있으며, 직선의 기울기로부터 엔탈피 (${\Delta}H$)와 엔트로피 (${\Delta}S$)를 구하고, 엔탈피와 용량 인자와의 관계로부터 금속 킬레이트의 머무름이 반드시 엔탈피와 관련되어 있다고 할 수 없으며 구조적 성질과도 관계가 있는 것으로 여겨진다.

Objectives: Preservatives are commonly used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and other products to extend the expiration date and prevent the growth of microorganisms. Preservatives are generally effective in controlling mold and inhibiting yeast growth, and against a wide range of bacterial attacks as well. They also adversely affect the quality of sperm and cause precocious puberty in children. This study was performed to analyze seven preservatives used in pharmaceuticals and personal care products. Methods: Five kinds of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) were examined for analysis with a high performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector. Each sample was homogenized and the targeted compounds were extracted with methanol. The suspended particulate was removed by syringe filter. Next, the sample was injected into an HPLC system. The separation of the seven preservatives was achieved with a C18 column and gradient mode. The accuracies were between 73% and 120% and precision was lower than 11.58% (RSD). Results: All of the calibration curves showed good linearity with a coefficient of determination ($r^2$) over 0.999. Among the PPCP samples, the detection rate of preservatives was 32.5% for pharmaceuticals, 44.8% for toothpaste, 76.9% for mouthwash, 40.0% for body lotion and 56.0% for wet tissues. The average concentrations of the preservatives in PPCPs were BA 1141.0 mg/kg, MP 709.8 mg/kg, EP 624.9 mg/kg, PP 216.9 mg/kg, BP 167.8 mg/kg, and TCS 538.2 mg/kg. The most frequently detected preservatives in pharmaceuticals and personal care products were BA, MP and PP. The concentrations of preservatives exceeded Korean regulatory standards in 11 samples of medicines, three of mouthwash and two of body lotion. Conclusion: We found that most of the PPCP samples contained various preservatives. It is necessary to identify which preservatives were used and to determine the level of preservatives in PPCPs and to assess the health risk to susceptible populations such as children.

A dual-channel glass coil sampling technique was used to measure hourly formaldehyde concentration in the ambient air. The dual-channel coil sampling assembly consists of three parts; an all-pyrex 28-turn coil made of 0.2-cm internal diameter glass tubing for gas-liquid contact and scrubbing of soluble gases, an inlet section upstream of the coil for introducing sample air and scrubbing solution, and a widened glass section downstream of the coil for gas-liquid separation. The scrubbing solution used was a dilute aqueous DNPH (dinitrophenylhydrazine) solution. Hourly concentration of formaldehyde was determined at a Gwangju semi-urban site during two intensive studies between September and October using the dual channel glass-coil/DNPH sampling technique and HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) analysis. The mean concentration was 1.7($0.4{\sim}4.7$) and 3.0($0.5{\sim}19.1$) ppbv for the September and October intensives, respectively, which are considerably low, compared to those measured in polluted urban areas around the world including several urban areas of Korea. The diurnal variation showed significant increase of formaldehyde in the daytime suggesting the dominance of formation of formaldehyde due to photochemical oxidation of methane and other hydrocarbons. An increase in the formaldehyde sometimes in the night might be due to an increase in primary source, i.e. traffic emissions. It was also found that rapid increase in formaldehyde levels from 3.0 to 19.1 ppbv in the afternoon on October 20 was due to plumes from burning of agricultural wastes such as rice straw and stubble. It is expected from the measurement data that the constructed dual-channel glass coil sampling system can be utilized for measuring atmospheric concentration of the formaldehyde with high time resolution.

The Mume Fructus (MF) has been used for relieves cough, arrests arrest chronic diarrhea, treat fluid depletion, and treat ascariasis in Korea. In this study, a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was established for simultaneous determination of six main components of MF. Additionally, we were investigated the anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects of MF extract on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated RAW264.7 cells and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-${\alpha}$/interferon (IFN)-${\gamma}$-treated HaCaT cells. The analytical column for separation was used a Gemini $C_{18}$ column maintained at $40^{\circ}C$. The mobile phase consisted of 1.0% (v/v) acetic acid in water (A) and 1.0% (v/v) acetic acid in acetonitrile (B). The flow rate was 1.0 mL/min and the detector was a photodiode array (PDA) set at 280 nm and 320 nm. We evaluated the inhibitory effect of MF extract on the production of inflammatory markers, nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin $E_2$ ($PGE_2$) in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells and thymus- and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC/CCL17) in TNF-${\alpha}$/IFN-${\gamma}$-treated HaCaT cells, respectively. We confirmed the genes expression related with TARC, macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC/CCL22) and regulated on activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted (RANTES/CCL5) in HaCaT keratinocyte cells by MF extract. The contents of the five compounds in MF were 0.22-1.01 mg/g. Also, the MF extract show inhibition of about 78% and 75% on NO and $PGE_2$ production at the concentration 1000 mg/mL in RAW264.7 cells. MF extract suppressed the hTARC level and genes expression such as TARC, MDC, and RANTES on TNF-${\alpha}$/IFN-${\gamma}$-treated HaCaT cells.
