New diamide chiral stationary phases of four systematically substituted optically active N-(N-benzoyl-L-amino acid)-anilide synthesized from L-valine, L-leucine, L-isoleucine, and L-phenylalanine were described. The behaviors of these diamides as optically active stationary phases for the separation of N-trifluoroacetyl-D,L-amino acids were examined with respect to separation factors(${\alpha}$) and thermodynamic properties of interaction. The separation of twelve N-trifluoroacetyl-D,L-amino acid isopropyl esters were improved by the order of N-(N-benzoyl-L-leucyl)-anilide>N-(N-benzoyl-L-isoleucyl)-anilide>N-(N-benzoyl-L-valyl)-anilide>N-(N-benzoyl-L-phenylalanyl)-anilide. Eight amino acid derivatives with non-polar R-group and threonine, serine, aspartic acid, and glutamic acid enantiomers were separated on N-(N-benzoyl-L-leucyl)-anilide as chiral stationary phase with good separation factor between 1.07-1.25. The separation factors decreased with respect to increasing column temperature. Possible working temperature of diamide phase was between $130-190^{\circ}C$ for N-(N-benzoyl-L-phenylalanyl)-anilide and $130-180^{\circ}C$ for other three diamide phases. The differential Gibb's free energy (${\Delta}{\Delta}G$) of enantiomers was in the range of -100--180 cal/mol for ten amino acids and -40--60 cal/mol for alanine and aspartic acid.

(S)-5-iodo-2-aminoindan.HCI (7) was synthesized for developing a serotonergic agent. (S)- Phenylalanine was protected with trifuoroacetyl group and compound 2 was prepared by direct iodination in acetic acid and in the presence of I$_2$, KIO$_4$, and sulfuric acid. Compound 3 was cyclized by Friedel-Crafts reaction and reduced with NaBH$_4$ to form 5-iodo-2-(N-trifluoroacetyl)aminoindan-1-ol (4) . This compound was reduced to indan derivative 5 using the triethylsilane and BF$_3$ . Et$_2$O. It was basified with $K_2$CO$_3$ solution and treated with saturated HCl in ethyl ether to isolate compound 7.

The resolution of N-trifluoroacetyl (N-TFA) ter-isopropylesters of Ala, Ile, Leu, Val and Phe by gas chromatography on the (S)-5-isobutyl-$N^3$-phenyl-2-thiohydantoin as stationary phase was investigated. The phase was employed at several column temperatures $(140^{\circ}C{\sim}200^{\circ}C)$ and the separation factors were $1.18{\sim}1.45$ range for five amino acid enantiomers. The possible mechanism of chiral recognition was investigated by NMR technique and the association constant$(K_c)$ was calculated as 201.3(r=0.98) for alanyl derivative.

A gas chromatography with flame ionization detection was developed to measure tranylcypromine in rat urine. The method involves extraction of the drug and the internal standard, phenylpropylamine from the urine using ethyl acetate and back extraction into 0.5N $H_{2}SO_{4}$. Following final extraction using dichloromethane, both the drug and the internal standard were converted to trifluoroacetyl derivatives and analyzed using a column of 3% SE-30 on 80/100 mesh Chromosorb W(HP). A calibration curve was constructed in the range of $5~50{\mu}g$tranylcypromine sulfate in 0.5ml urine and found to be linear. The detection limit was $2{\mu}g$. The tranylcypromine could be analyzed with the percent recovery of $100.81{\pm}8.13$ (SD) ina concentration range of $8-40{\mu}g$ in 0.5ml urine. When 0.4mmol/kg dose of the drug was administered through, an oral route, excretion percent of tranylcypromine in rat urine over 36hr was found to be $11.90{\pm}6.04$ (SD) for tranyleypromine sulfate and $2.23{\pm}0.63$ (SD) for benzyl trans-2-phenylcyclopropanecarbamate.

Studies of selectivity of hydrogen bond formation in chiral solute-solvent systems have been performed by $^1H\;and\;^{13}C$ nuclear magnetic resonance techniques. These data are correlated with the results of gas chromatographic investigations of the same systems. Interactions between the optically active solvent(N-(N-benzoyl-L-amino acid)-anilide) and optically active solute (N-trifluoroacetyl -L-alanyl isopropyl ester) were examined. NMR evidence indicated that hydrogen bonding interaction occurred between two N-H portion and on peptidyl carbonyl portion in stationary phase and solute molecule on three points. The association constants of solvent-solute interaction were calculated and the structure of the diastereomeric association complex between N-(N-benzoyl-L-valyl)-anilide and N-TFA-L-alanyl isopropyl ester was proposed.

We developed a miniaturized solid-state carbonate ion-selective electrode (carbonate ISE) based on one-component room temperature vulcanizing type silicone rubber 730 (730 RTV) without adding plasticizer to the matrix. The optimized carbonate ion selective membrane is prepared with 85.8 wt% of 730 RTV, 11.1 wt% of trifluoroacetyl-p-decylbenzene (TFADB), and 3.1 wt% of tridodecyl-methylammonium chloride (TDMACl). This carbonate ISE exhibited excellent potentiometric properties (i.e., slope: 26.3 mV/dec; selectivity: $logKT^{pot}_{CO_{2},Cl^-}$= -4.00 and $logKT^{pot}_{TCO_{2},Sal^-}$=1.69); and detection limit for $TCO_2:\;4.0{\times}10^{-4}M$). In addition, the early potentiometric properties of the solid-state sensor with optimized membrane composition were not deteriorated for more than 60 days.

Purpose: A personal computer-based system was developed for automated metabolic profiling of organic aciduria and aminoacidopathy by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and data interpretation for the diagnosis of metabolic disorders Methods: For automatic data profiling and interpretation, we compiled retention time, two target ions and their intensity ratio for 77 organic acids and 13 amino acids metabolites. Metabolites above the cut-off values were flagged as abnormal compounds. The data interpretation was a based on combination of flagged metabolites. Diagnostic or index metabolites were categorized into three groups, "and", "or" and "NO" compiled for each disorder to improve the specificity of the diagnosis. Groups "and" and "or" comprised essential and optional compounds, respectively, to reach a specific diagnosis. Group "NO" comprised metabolites that must be absent to make a definite diagnosis. We tested this system by analyzing patients with confirmed Propionic aciduria and others. Results: In all cases, the diagnostic metabolites were identified and correct diagnosis was founded to be made among the possible disease suggested by the system. Conclusion: The study showed that the developed method could be the method of choices in rapid, sensitive and simultaneous screening for organic aciduria and amino acidopathy with this simplified automated system.

Recently estimating the uncertainty of an analytical result has become an essential part of quantitative analysis. This study describes the uncertainty of the measurement for the determination of methamphetamine and its major metabolite amphetamine in human hair, The method consists of washing, drying, weighing, incubation and extraction with methanolic HCI solution, clean-up, trifluoroacetyl derivatization, and qualification/quantification of residues by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Traceability of measurement was established through traceable standards and calibrated volumetric equipment and measuring instruments. Measurement uncertainty associated with each analyte in real samples was estimated using quality control (QC) data. The main source of combined standard uncertainty comprised two components, which are uncertainties associated with calibration linearity and variations in QC, while those associated with preparation of analytical standards and sample weighing were not so important considering the degree of contribution. Relative combined standard uncertainties associated with the described method ranged for individual analytes from 4.99 to5.03%.

Recently, l-deprenyl (selegiline), a relative new antiparkinson`s drug, has been marketed in Korea. As its metabolites, l-methamphetamine and l-amphetamine, are the enantiomers of illicit drugs,d-methamphetamine and d-amphetamine, a method for analysis of enantiomers of methamphetamine and amphetamine in rat urine was investigated. The optical isomers of methamphetamine and amphetamine were analyzed with the chiral derivatizing reagent (S)-(-)-N-(trifluoroacetyl)-prolyl chloride (l-TFP), which was used to form the diastereomers of methamphetamine and amphetamine. And all diastereomers (l-TFP -l-AM, lTFP-d-AM, l-TFP-l-MA & l-TFP-d-MA) were well resolved by capillary gas chromatography. After administration of 10mg/kg l-deprenyl to rat, l-methamphetamine and l-amphetamine were detected without autoracemization to the d form in all urine samples collected during 24hrs, and the ratios of l-amphetamine/l-methamphetamine were 1.1~3.3. l-Amphetamine was detected in only 3 out of 8 urine samples collected during 24~48hrs where as no l-methamphetamine was detected in all cases.
