A series of experiments was performed to develop an optimized analytical procedure for the analysis of explosives in soil by HPLC with soil samples collected at two live-fire military shooting ranges. The minimum amount of soil to be collected, Wmin, for the analysis of explosive compounds was 125g, based on the segregation and homogeneity constants that account for soil heterogeneity and non-homogeneous distribution of target explosive compounds. The optimization of extraction and HPLC analytical conditions were also studied based on analytes CV values. The most effective soil/ extractant ratio was estimated to be 10g-pretreated soil/20 mL acetonitrile as extractant. The optimized HPLC elution conditions for the separation of US EPA designated 14 explosive compounds, were column temperature 30${\circ}C$, eluents ratio of isopropanol: acetonitrile: water = 18 : 12: 70, and flow rate of 0.8 mUmin at 230 nm. However, UV wavelength 254 nm was better for the analysis of NB, 2,4-DNT, 2NT, 4NT, and 3NT.

Objectives : A quantitative method using high performance liquid chromatography with a photodiode array detector(HPLC-PDA) was established for the quantitative analysis of the four main compound and pattern analysis to classification Piiellia ternate, P. pedatisecta and Typhonium flagelliforme. Methods : The analytical procedure for the determination of P. ternata, together with the known main compounds uracil, uridine, guanosine and adenosine was established. Optimum HPLC-PDA separation of these P. ternata was possible on Luna C18(2) column material, using water and acetonitrile as mobile phase. The method was validated according to regulatory guidelines. In addition, this assay method were analyzed for the content of four main compound in P. ternata, P. pedatisecta and T. flagelliforme and by data obtained from the HPLC-PDA analysis was performed principal component analysis(PCA). Results : Validation results indicated that the HPLC method is well suited for the determination of the roots of P. ternata with a good linearity ($r^2$ > 0.999), precision and recovery rates. Analysis of HPLC-PDA, the average content of uracil, uridine, guanosine and adenosine was significantly higher in P. ternate>P. pedatisecta> T. flagelliforme order. The application of PCA to main compound data by HPLC-PDA permitted the effective discrimination among the three species. Conclusions : Analysis of both HPLC-PDA and PCA confirmed the fact that four main compound and pattern profiles of P. ternata, P. pedatisecta and T. flagelliforme were different from each other.

Oligosaccharyltransferase (OTase) catalyzes the transfer of a lipid-linked oligosaccharide (LLO) to the nascent polypeptide. Most eukaryotes have an OTase composed of a multisubunit protein complex. However, the kinetoplastid Leishmania major and the bacterium Campylobacter jejuni have only a single subunit for OTase activity, Stt3p and PglB, respectively. In this study, a new in vitro assay for OTase was developed by using a fluorescent peptide containing N-glycosylation sequon, Asn-Xaa-Thr/Ser, where Xaa can be any amino acid residue except Pro. L. major Stt3p and C. jejuni PglB as a model OTase enzyme demonstrated the formation of glycopeptides from a fluorescent peptide through OTase activities. For separation and measurement of the glycopeptides produced by the OTases, Tricine-SDS-PAGE, a lectin column and fluorospectrophotometer, and HPLC were applied. Comparison of these assay methods for analyzing a fluorescent glycopeptide showed HPLC analysis is the best method for separation of glycopeptides and nonglycosylated peptides as well as for quantify the peptides than other methods.

A reversed-phase high-performace liquid chromatographic method was developed to determine the optical purity of metoprolol enantiomers. The enantiomers were converted to diastereomeric derivatives using (-)-menthyl chloroformate reagent. Separation of the enantiomers as diastereomers was achieved by reversed-phase HPLC within 30 min using Inertsil C8 column. This method allowed determination of 0.05% of either enantiomer in the presence of its stereoisomer and method validation showed adequate linearity over the required range. Owing to the reaction condition during the derivatization with (-)-menthyl chloroformate, the possibility of racemization had to be established. Different ratios of (S)-(-)-metoprolol and (R)-(+)-metoprolol were prepared. Enantiomeric separation of these mixtures took place on a chiralcel OD column or, after derivatization with (-)-menthyl chloroformate, on a C8 column. The results form the these two independent separation systems were compared with trace racemization and were in very good agreement. No racemization was found during the experiment.

A chiral stationary phase (CSP) was synthesized by the modification of the chitosan using N-nicotinoyl phenylalanine and 3, 5-dimethylphenylisocyanate . The CSP based on the chitosan was then characterized in terms of their chemical structure and physical properties. To test its performance as a CSP, the silica powder with 5 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ of diameter were coated with the CSP to pack a column for High Performance Liquid Chromatograph (HPLC). Using the packed column, several racemates were tried to separate under various separation conditions with different compositions of eluents.

Xanthii Fructus has been traditionally used for the treatment of rhinitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and eczema. In this study, a high-performance liquid chromatography-photodiode array (HPLC-PDA) method was developed and then used for the simultaneous analysis of eight phenylpropanoids in Xanthii Fructus. The analytical column used for this separation was a $SunFire^{TM}$ $C_{18}$ column, maintained at $40^{\circ}C$. The mobile phase used was 1.0% acetic acid in distilled water and 1.0% acetic acid in acetonitrile with gradient elution. For identify of each component, the mass spectrometer (MS) was used a Waters triple quadrupole mass spectrometer requipped with electrospray ionization (ESI) source. The HPLC-PDA method showed good linearity: correlation coefficients were ${\geq}0.9996$. The limits of detection and quantification of the eight compounds were 0.02 - 0.04 and $0.06-0.14{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. The extraction recoveries ranged from 97.51 to 108.67%. The relative standard deviation values of intra- and inter-day precision were 0.06 - 1.55 and 0.09 - 1.68%, respectively. The validated HPLC-PDA method was applied to simultaneously analyse the amounts of eight phenlypropanoids in Xanthii Fructus.

The simultaneous determination of platyphylloside, aceroside and betulin was established for the quality control of Betula platyphylla bark using a high performance liquid chromatography and diode-array UV/Vis detector (HPLC-DAD). Separation and quantification were successfully achieved with a INNO C18 column ($5{\mu}m$, 4.6 mm $I.D.{\times}150mm$) by gradient elution of a mixture of methanol and water at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. Validation of the developed method was performed by various factor such as linearity, specificity, precision, accuracy, system suitability and stability. This method was successfully applied to the determination of contents of platyphylloside, aceroside VIII and betulin in three batches of Betula platyphylla bark extract. These results suggest that the developed HPLC method is simple, effective and could be utilized as a quality control method for Betula platyphylla bark products.

Selenium-containing proteins were separated from selenium-enriched yeast (SEY) using Trizol$^{(R)}$ reagent followed by anion exchange (AE) chromatography. This method is simpler and less time consuming than electrophoresis. Five selenium containing proteins were identified by on-line AE HPLC-ICP/MS (high performance liquid chromatography-inductively coupled plasma/mass spectrometry). Each protein was enzymatically hydrolyzed to seleno-amino acids and separated with RP (reverse phase) HPLC for the identification of selenoproteins.
