Fluorescent substances were found to be produced efficiently when phospholipids containing phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and linoleic chains were autoxidized in non-polar solvents. By using these fluorescent substances as intrinsic probes, the dispersion state of phospholipids was investigated in various organic solvents. Fluorescence anisotropy decay measurements indicated that the aggregation size of phospholipids was much larger in hexane than in chloroform, methanol and tert-butyl alcohol. The average diameter of phospholipid aggregates in hexane was calculated to be 4-6 nm, which was dependent on the lipid composition. A consistent result was obtained when N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)-1,2-dihexadecanoyl-sn-gly cer o-3- phosphoethanolamine (NBD-PE) was used as an extrinsic probe. Comparison of the fluorescence data with small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) data suggested that a reverse micellar structure of phospholipids formed in hexane. It was shown that phospholipid aggregation enhanced the extent of peroxidation as well as the production yield of fluorescent substances of phospholipid.
Using high-performance thin-layer chromatography with in situ quantitation to measure dansylated polyamines in the range of 1-20 pmol, we found that dansylated polyamines apparently react with the silica gel of the plates. The fluorescence of the dansyl polyamines diminished with increase in the time interval between application of a sample to the plate and start of the chromatographic separation. Conversely, the fluorescence at the site of application increased with the length of the time interval, indicating the formation of polar reaction products. If this reaction is not accounted for, considerable errors in quantitation of dansyl polyamines may occur.
The acidic degradation of diazepam in methanolic aqueous solution has been investigated. Apart from the known degradation products, 2-(N-methylamino)-5-chlorobenzophenone and glycine, produced by the hydrolytic cleavage of the benzodiazepinone ring, five novel products were isolated and fully characterized by their spectroscopic features and independent synthesis. Substituted 2-amino-3,5-dichlorobenzophenones and 2,4-dichloroacridinones were found, the formation of which in the reaction media is mechanistically intriguing. The role of these unexpected products in accelerated studies of diazepam stability is discussed.
