A streamlined method for the isolation and quantitation of nanomole levels of exported polyamines in cell culture media.
A number of years ago, our laboratory published a method for the isolation of small amounts of polyamines from cell culture media using the ion-exchange resin Bio-Rex 70. We have used this technique extensively to study the export of putrescine and cadaverine from cultured mammalian cells. Unfortunately, this method was highly inefficient in isolating the polyamines spermidine and spermine and was incapable of recovering the acetylated polyamine N(1)-acetylspermidine. In response to these shortcomings, we modified our previous protocol to quantitatively isolate the polyamines N(1)-acetylspermidine, putrescine, cadaverine, N(1)-acetylspermine, spermidine, and spermine. The new method, which is much faster to perform and more efficient than the one previously described, employs the use of disposable minicolumns and a single resin washing step using a weak solution of sodium carbonate at pH 9.3. This new protocol also eliminates the column elution step in favor of directly derivatizing the polyamines with dansyl chloride on the ion-exchange resin. High-performance liquid chromatography analysis of the dansylated polyamines isolated by this procedure showed that 75% of N(1)-acetylspermidine and nearly 100% of the other polyamines present in nanomolar levels were recovered from small amounts of cell culture medium. This new protocol is a valuable new tool for the study of the intracellular/extracellular dynamics of polyamine pools in cultured cells. [A detailed laboratory protocol for this procedure (containing all of the information in this paper but in a condensed form) can be requested by e-mailing the authors.]

Simultaneous measurement of dopamine and its metabolites, 5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid and tryptophan in brain tissue using liquid chromatography and electrochemical detection.
An assay has been developed for brain tryptophan using reverse-phase liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection. The method simultaneously assays dopamine (DA) and its metabolites, dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) and homovanillic acid (HVA), as well as 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA). The method does not require elution from ion exchange resins. After deproteinization and centrifugation samples are injected directly onto the chromatographic column. It was found that small changes in mobile phase pH markedly influenced the retention time of tryptophan while elution of the indoleamines and catecholamines did not change. The assay of these endogenous compounds in a single injection proved not expedient but inexpensive. Values obtained using alumina and ion exchange resins yielded comparable values.

Microparticulates for ophthalmic drug delivery.
Microparticulates are drug-containing small polymeric particles (erodible, non-erodible or ion-exchange resins) that are suspended in a liquid carrier medium. Upon administration of particle suspension in the eye, the particles reside at the delivery site (cul-de-sac, sub conjunctiva or vitreous cavity) and the drug is released from the particles through diffusion, chemical reaction, polymer degradation, or ion-exchange mechanism. Several distinct approaches have been used to formulate drugs in microparticulate dosage form for intraocular and topical application. These include erodible microparticulates, swelling mucoadhesive particulates, pH responsive microparticulates, nanoparticles/latex systems, ion-exchange resins, etc. Injection of bioerodible microparticulates in the vitreous for treating infections of posterior segment and the release of acceptable levels of drug up to two weeks has been demonstrated. Both corneal and non-corneal routes of drug entry in the eye from topical instillations are postulated. The in vitro and in vivo studies have shown that this dosage form holds great promise for sustained drug release in the eye. However, several formulation challenges, including production of stable suspensions, uniform dose per unit volume, efficient drug entrapment, reproducible and large scale manufacturing, uniform particle size, etc., have to be addressed. Fruitful resolution of technological challenges will result in a superior dosage form for both topical and intraocular ophthalmic application. Recent developments and future challenges of microparticulate ophthalmic drug delivery system are discussed in this review.

Enhancement of immune response to intranasal influenza HA vaccine by microparticle resin.
We evaluated the potential application of ion-exchange resins for the enhancement of intranasal immune response to influenza HA vaccine in mice. Female Balb/c mice were intranasally immunized with inactivated influenza HA vaccine with one of four kinds of resin microparticles: sodium polystyrene sulfonate, calcium polystyrene sulfonate, polystyrene benzyltrimetylammonium chloride, or polystyrene divinylbenzene. Haemagglutinin-inhibiting antibodies were measured in the serum and IgA antibodies in the nasal wash after 4 weeks. The results demonstrated that intranasal administration of influenza HA vaccine in combination with the 20-45 microns sized particles of sodium polystyrene sulfonate resin induced the highest levels of mucosal IgA, and enhanced systemic haemagglutinin-inhibiting antibodies. While the Th2-type cytokine IL-4 was detected in the sera after intranasal immunization with HA vaccine and sodium polystyrene sulfonate, neither IFN-gamma nor IL-2 could be detected. Furthermore, mice intranasally immunized with HA vaccine together with sodium polystyrene sulfonate resin showed higher protection against viral challenge than those that received HA vaccine alone. Intranasal administration of influenza HA vaccine with sodium polystyrene sulfonate resin might be both a safe and an effective means of immunization.

Extraction and purification of a substance with luteinizing hormone releasing activity from the leaves of Avena sativa.
Attempts were made to purify the LH-releasing substance extracted from the leaves of Avena sativa by means of two-step chromatographic procedures using a weakly acidic ion-exchange resin (CG-50,type II) and DEAE-Sephadex A-25 (coarse) with successful results. For preliminary fractionation of such starting materials as dried leaves, fresh leaves, and acetone-extracted powder(crude extracts), 5% acetate-buffered active carbon proved to be more effective than starch zone electrophoresis. From its behavior on chromatography with weakly acidic ion-exchange resins as well as Sephadex gel filtration, the active fraction extracted from the leaves of Avena saliva was assumed to be different from the LH-RH present in the hypothalamus. This partially purified material, however, was demonstrated to have an LH-releasing activity by the ovarian ascorbic acid depletion method using Wistar-Imamichi strain rats. Evidence was presented that its site of action is in the adenohypophysis.

Immobilization of glucose isomerase.
The immobilization of glucose isomerase (D-xylose ketol isomerase, EC 5.3.1.5) by covalently bonding to various carriers and by adsorption to ion exchange resins was attempted in order to obtain a stable immobilized enzyme which can be used for continuous isomerization of glucose in a column. Of the covalent bonding methods, the colloidal silica-glutaraldehyde method showed the highest binding capacity and gave the most stable immobilized glucose isomerase. The Ludox HS-30 bound glucose isomerase column showed a half-life of 24 days and an enzyme usage of 0.07 units per gram of isomerized sugar (d.s, fructose 45%). Of the resins used, the macromolecular type or porous type strongly basic anion exchange resins showed the highest binding capacity and gave the most stable immobilized glucose isomerase. The Amberlite IRA-904 resine-bound glucose isomerase showed a half-life of 23 days and an enzyme usage of 0.06 units per gram of isomerized sugar (d.s., fructose 45%). Based on the ease of the immobilization process, the possibility of carrier reuse and the extensive use already achieved by ion exchange resins in the sugar industry, IRA-904 resin was selected as the candidate for commercialization.

Purification and radiochemical quality control of 131I-19-iodocholesterol.
Radiochemical quality control and purification techniques were developed for 131I-19-cholesterol. The amount of ionic 131I-iodide is rapidly determined using instant thin-layer chromatography. Samples of the labeled steroid that contain greater than 8% of ionic 131I-iodide are purified with one of two techniques, both using a weakly basic ion-exchange resin. The first technique, a batch ion-exchange process, is suitable for removing relatively low concentrations of ionic 131I-iodide; if higher concentrations of this radiochemical contaminant are present, the second or column technique is more suitable.

Rapid isolation of monosialogangliosides from bovine brain gangliosides by selective-overload chromatography.
A procedure for rapid isolation of monosialogangliosides from purified bovine brain gangliosides has been developed. It utilizes the selective difference in association between monosialogangliosides and polysialogangliosides for the ion-exchange resin Q-Sepharose. When the ion-exchange column is overloaded with a bovine brain ganglioside mixture in the proper ganglioside to column bed-volume ratio, the polysialogangliosides are selectively retained by the column while the monosialogangliosides emerge with the void volume without the use of salt for elution. With the critical ganglioside to bed-volume ratio (1 g:8.32 ml), and an appropriate column bed-height to column radius ratio of 6.9, monosialogangliosides are reproducibly obtained in high purity with greater than 90% yield. The method has been used at both the analytical and preparative scale. We call this separation technique selective-overload chromatography.

Isolation, purification and properties of cathepsin B from buffalo liver.
Cathepsin B was isolated from buffalo liver by salt fractionation, ion-exchange resin treatment, gel filtration and repeated ion-exchange chromatography using a linear salt gradient. The enzyme showed activity, against denatured hemoglobin (or ovalbumin), alpha-N-benzoyl-DL-arginine p-nitroanilide (BAPNA), and alpha-benzoyl-DL-arginine-naphthylamine (BANA). It inactivated buffalo muscle aldolase with a half life period of 21 min. The pH-activity profiles obtained for the digestion of hemoglobin (or ovalbumin) and aldolase inactivation by the enzyme were found to be different. The enzyme (mol wt 27,800 by SDS-PAGE) eluted in gel filtration with a molecular weight of 27,000 and a Stokes radius of 2.31 nm. The results showed buffalo cathepsin B to be a single-chain molecule. The N- and C-terminal amino acids of the enzyme were found to be leucine and aspartic acid, respectively. It contained 0.7% concanavalin A reactive neutral carbohydrate. The amino acid composition of buffalo cathepsin B was found to be similar to that of human liver cathepsin B. The optical properties of the buffalo enzyme were found consistent with its aromatic amino acid content. The isoionic pH of the enzyme was found to be 5.70 and the intrinsic viscosity was 3.48 ml/g whence the frictional ratio, f/f0 was computed to be 1.10 suggesting that the native enzyme conformation is compact and is globular in solution.

Dye marked antibiotics for lactating cow mastitis therapy.
Dye markings of intramammary antibiotic infusions could give a dairy farmer immediate visual warning that milk contains antibiotic residue. Six dye and antibiotic preparations for lactating cows were studied for rates of dye and antibiotic milk-out. Albacillin containing 1 X 10(5) IU of penicillin plus 150 mg of novobiocin combined with 25, 125, or 250 mg of Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Blue No. 1 or No. 2 per infusion was used. Thirty cows with healthy udders producing 13.6 to 22.7 kg milk per day were treated in all quarters twice in 24 h (0500 and 1500 h). Milk samples from 14 posttreatment twice per day milkings (0500 and 1500 h) were tested for dye and antibiotic residue. Dye content was determined by a visual method and subvisually by an ion exchange resin method. No antibiotic residues were found by the cylinder plate method after the second to fourth posttreatment milkings. Antibiotic residue was detected up to the sixth milking by Delvotest-P. Depending on the dye type and its concentration, milk was visibly blue for one to four milkings. Subvisual quantities for dye were detectable by the ion exchange resin method for three to five milkings. The preparation showing the most promise for farm use contained 250 mg Blue No. 1 per infusion. Milk from cows treated with this preparation contained visually and subvisually detectable dye through three or four and five milkings, respectively. The dye persistence exceeded or coincided with the maximum antibiotic persistence in nearly all cows treated regardless of dye formulation or method of antibiotic detection.

Kinetic studies of clavulanic acid recovery by ion exchange chromatography.
Clavulanic acid (CA) is a beta-lactamase inhibitor produced by strains of Streptomyces clavuligerus. Nowadays, the combination of CA with amoxycillin is the most successful example of the use of a beta-lactam antibiotic sensitive to beta-lactamases together with an inhibitor of these enzymes. Clavulanic acid is purified from fermentation broth by a series of steps consisting mainly of two-phase separation processes such as liquid-liquid extraction, adsorption or ion-exchange chromatography, among others. Amberlite IRA 400, a strong anion-exchange resin, has a very high adsorption capacity for CA (Mayer et al. 1997). This resin can be pre-treated with NaCl (chloride cycle), to remove selectively only those anions, which are able to displace chloride from the resin or with NaOH (hydroxyl cycle), to remove all species of anions. In order to decide the best operating conditions for CA recovery by ion-exchange resins and then to construct a model of this separation process, batch experiments were conducted using Amberlite IRA 400 in the chloride cycle. These runs were carried out in a 200 ml stirred tank, at two different initial solution pH, 6.2 and 4.0; the temperature was maintained at 10 degrees C and 20 degrees C during adsorption and 30 degrees C during the desorption step. It was possible, on the basis of these batch results, to model the separation process, including the adsorption kinetics, equilibrium data and mass transfer limitations.

Protein adsorption at solid-liquid interfaces: Part IV--Effects of different solid-liquid systems and various neutral salts.
Adsorption isotherms of BSA at the solid-water interfaces have been studied as a function of protein concentration, ionic strength of the medium, pH and temperature using silica, barium sulphate, carbon, alumina, chromium, ion-exchange resins and sephadex as solid interfaces. In most cases, isotherms for adsorption of BSA attained the state of adsorption saturation. In the presence of barium sulphate, carbon and alumina, two types in the isotherms are observed. Adsorption of BSA is affected by change in pH, ionic strength and temperature of the medium. In the presence of metallic chromium, adsorbed BSA molecules are either denatured or negatively adsorbed at the metallic interface. Due to the presence of pores in ion-exchange resins, adsorption of BSA is followed by preferential hydration on resin surfaces in some cases. Sometimes two steps of isotherms are also observed during adsorption of BSA on the solid resins in chloride form. Adsorption of BSA, beta-lactoglobulin, gelatin, myosin and lysozyme is negative on Sephadex surface due to the excess adsorption of water by Sephadex. The negative adsorption is significantly affected in the presence of CaCl2, KSCN, LiCl, Na2SO4, NaI, KCl and urea. The values of absolute amounts of water and protein, simultaneously adsorbed on the surface of different solids, have been evaluated in some cases on critical thermodynamic analysis. The standard free energies (delta G0) of excess positive and negative adsorption of the protein per square meter at the state of monolayer saturation have been calculated using proposed universal scale of thermodynamics. The free energy of adsorption with reference to this state is shown to be strictly comparable to each other. The magnitude of standard free energy of transfer (delta G0B) of one mole of protein or a protein mixture at any type of physiochemical condition and at any type of surface is observed to be 38.5 kJ/mole.

Biotic and abiotic transformations of methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE).
BACKGROUND: Methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) is a fuel additive which is used all over the world. In recent years it has often been found in groundwater, mainly in the USA, but also in Europe. Although MTBE seems to be a minor toxic, it affects the taste and odour of water at concentrations of < 30 microg/L. Although MTBE is often a recalcitrant compound, it is known that many ethers can be degraded by abiotic means. The aim of this study was to examine biotic and abiotic transformations of MTBE with respect to the particular conditions of a contaminated site (former refinery) in Leuna, Germany. METHODS: Groundwater samples from wells of a contaminated site were used for aerobic and anaerobic degradation experiments. The abiotic degradation experiment (hydrolysis) was conducted employing an ion-exchange resin and MTBE solutions in distilled water. MTBE, tertiary butyl formate (TBF) and tertiary butyl alcohol (TBA) were measured by a gas chromatograph with flame ionisation detector (FID). Aldehydes and organic acids were respectively analysed by a gas chromatograph with electron capture detector (ECD) and high-performance ion chromatography (HPIC). RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Under aerobic conditions, MTBE was degraded in laboratory experiments. Only 4 of a total of 30 anaerobic experiments exhibited degradation, and the process was very slow. In no cases were metabolites detected, but a few degradation products (TBF, TBA and formic acid) were found on the site, possibly due to the lower temperatures in groundwater. The abiotic degradation of MTBE with an ion-exchange resin as a catalyst at pH 3.5 was much faster than hydrolysis in diluted hydrochloric acid (pH 1.0). CONCLUSION: Although the aerobic degradation of MTBE in the environment seems to be possible, the specific conditions responsible are widely unknown. Successful aerobic degradation only seems to take place if there is a lack of other utilisable compounds. However, MTBE is often accompanied by other fuel compounds on contaminated sites and anaerobic conditions prevail. MTBE is often recalcitrant under anaerobic conditions, at least in the presence of other carbon sources. The abiotic hydrolysis of MTBE seems to be of secondary importance (on site), but it might be possible to enhance it with catalysts. RECOMMENDATION AND OUTLOOK: MTBE only seems to be recalcitrant under particular conditions. In some cases, the degradation of MTBE on contaminated sites could be supported by oxygen. Enhanced hydrolysis could also be an alternative.

The physicochemical, immunological and biological properties of rat pituitary and plasma LH.
A comparison was made between the properties of LH derived from female rat pituitary glands and plasma. Samples were collected from adult intact rats 5 h before or at the time of the pro-oestrous preovulatory LH surge; 27-day-old rats untreated or given 5 IU pregnant mares' serum gonadotrophin (PMSG) s.c. on day 25, which induced LH release 54 h later and adult ovariectomized rats untreated or primed with either 5 micrograms oestradiol benzoate s.c. or 5 micrograms oestradiol benzoate followed 48 h later by 0.5 mg progesterone s.c., which induced LH release 4-6 h later. All pituitary LH samples were totally bound to an anionic ion-exchange resin (DE52), while only a small proportion of the plasma LH was bound. Only 0-10% plasma LH obtained from intact, ovariectomized (with and without steroids) and untreated immature rats was bound, while a greater proportion of bound LH (36%) was noted in rats treated with PMSG. Gel filtration indicated only slight differences between pituitary and plasma LH, the former eluting marginally earlier than whole plasma and the unbound and bound plasma forms derived after separation by DE52 resin. Affinity chromatography (Concanavalin A and Glycine maximus) showed that LH from both sources possesses high mannose oligosaccharides and that plasma LH does not bear terminal N-acetyl galactosamine residues, although 20% of the pituitary form does. Plasma obtained from pro-oestrous rats had greater bioactivity than had pituitary LH in stimulating testosterone from Leydig cells and progesterone from granulosa cells in vitro, and inducing ovulation in immature rats in vivo. Leydig cell bioassays for LH in fractions obtained from ion-exchange separation indicate that steroidogenic activity of unbound plasma LH is greater than bound pituitary LH when they were collected at times of enhanced release. When release was inhibited (oestrogen-primed ovariectomized rats or immature rats), the steroidogenic activity of plasma and pituitary LH were similar and an acidic steroidogenic component was present in the plasma that was not recognized immunogenically as LH. In summary, pituitary LH undergoes a conversion on release into the plasma that involves a change in binding characteristics on an ion-exchange resin. In conditions when LH release is enhanced there is an increase in bioactivity of plasma LH owing to modification either by steroids or some other plasma factor(s) that perhaps influence the structure of LH directly or by steroids acting indirectly to alter GnRH release, which then modifies LH structure. These structural changes are minor and probably involve alterations in the glycosyl attachments.

[New sorbents for industrial gas marks with a visual reading of their depletion].
The current status of problems, referrable to the use of industrial gas masks, is reviewed, with special reference to the type of sorbent to be used, the pathways of gas mask modernization in respect of the sorbents used, and the modern trends in adsorption cartridge manufacturing; decrease of weight, alleviated construction, adjustment to serve definite toxico-chemical agent, use of ion-exchange resins and hemosorbents. Aspects are discussed for producing sorbents, permitting visual registration of filter mass exhaustion, i.e. sorbents wtih alternating color in the process of sorption, with the purpose of increasing gas mask security and efficiency. The physico-chemical parameters of reference hemosorbent samples with alternating color in the process of sorption were compared with those of widely used sorbents - active carbon (specially processed and crude) and ion-exchange resins: relative dynamics, aktivity protection time, weight, mass activity, etc. Inferences are drawn from which one may see, that these new hemosorbents are highly perspektive, and their industrial acceptance is justifiable.
