HPLC determination of gallic acid as a possible product of enzymatic reaction of shikimic acid, NADP+ and SDH.
Smolejová, Jana ; Červený, Václav (advisor) ; Nesměrák, Karel (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the development of an HPLC method for the determination of selected compounds participating in enzymatic reaction leading to the formation of gallic acid. The analysed reaction mixture contains the following reagents: shikimic acid, NADP+ and shikimatedehydrogenase (SDH) extracted from parsley; the presumed product of the reaction is gallic acid. Two chromatographic methods for the determination of the above mentioned compounds were developed using C18 HPLC column and porous graphitic carbon Hypercarb column. Molecular absorption spectrometric detection in the UV range was used in all measurements. Separation on the C18 column was found particularly suitable for analysing the composition of the end products of the reaction. Because of the NADP+ and shikimic acid peak overlap it is necessary to observe absorbance at 212 and 260 nm. Shikimic acid and NADP+ can be quantified due to the fact that shikimic acid does not absorb at 260 nm while NADP+ absorb radiation at both wavelengths. Separation via Hypercarb column was found particularly suitable for analysing the process of the reaction; additional products or intermediates can be seen in chromatograms compared to the C18 method. Determination with Hypercarb column is characterized by higher sensitivity and lower limit...

The Development of HPLC-FLD Method for the Determination of the Bile Acids in the Bile of Mice
Kacerovská, Veronika ; Nesměrák, Karel (advisor) ; Bosáková, Zuzana (referee)
Aim of the master thesis was the development and the optimization of the HPLC method with fluorescence detection for the determination of the bile acids in the bile of mice. On the basis of literature, the HPLC-FLD method has been proposed and optimized for the quantification of eight bile acids (cholic acid, glycocholic acid, deoxycholic acid, glycodeoxycholic acid, chenodeoxycholic acid, glycochenodeoxycholic acid, α-muricholic acid, and λ-muricholic acid) in the biological material. 1,2-benzo-3,4-dihydrocarbazole-9-ethyl-p-toluenesulfonate is suitable derivatization reagent for labeling of the bile acids. The calibration dependences, limits of detection and quantification (in the range of 0.88-1.78 μmol dm -3 ) for all bile acids are measured. In the biological sample five bile acids have been successfully identified and then determined (cholic acid, glycocholic acid, glycodeoxycholic acid, glycochenodeoxycholic acid, and α-muricholic acid). Key words: bile acids, HPLC, fluorescence detector, derivatization reaction, bile

The Flow Injection Analysis of Procaine and Sulfamethoxazole with Spectrophotometric Detection
Baptistová, Adéla ; Nesměrák, Karel (advisor) ; Červený, Václav (referee)
A derivatization reaction, based on a copulation reaction of diazonium salt of an analyte with a reagent (1-aminonaphthalene or NEDA) producing colour, spectrophotometrically detectable product, has been used for determination of two analytes (procain hydrochloride, sulfamethoxazole) containing amino group in the molecule. The conditions of batch spectrophotometric determination were studied. It was found, that the batch determination is applicable only for procain hydrochloride analysis, because sulfamethoxazole gives time-unstable colour product. FIA arrangement was proposed and effects of selected parameters were optimized using two levels factorial design. The calibration dependences were measured for both analysis with both reagents, and subsequently were applied on determination of analytes in medical forms. Key words: diazotization, flow injection analysis, procaine, spectrophotometry, sulfamethoxazole

Time-resolved potentiometry on liquid-liquid interface
Mansfeldová, Věra ; Nesměrák, Karel (advisor) ; Opekar, František (referee) ; Gál, Miroslav (referee)
Věra Mansfeldová: Time-resolved potentiometry on liquid-liquid interface (Dissertation thesis) Abstract The aim of this work is to explore the method of temporal resolution in potentiometry as a new prospective electrochemical analytical technique. In connection with interface of two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES) it may find utilization in analytical chemistry. This technique up to my knowledge has not been published yet. Potential response of analyte on liquid/liquid interface includes both distribution processes, their temporal resolution and redox processes, which specificity can modified by changing the composition of individual phases. Unlike "classic" potentiometric techniques, limited just to potential determination, this method, which I have given the working name "time resolved potentiometry at liquid-liquid interface" utilizes time development of potential response, which was found to be an analyte-specific function. The time resolved potentiometry presented in this work includes time course of potential response to analytical parameters specific for particular analyte. It brings series of data characterizing the analyte in given environment in a similar manner as spectra and may allow creating analyte-specific data package - fingerprint. Combination with ITIES allows, unlike...

Analysis of Historical Pharmaceutical Preparations Containing Alkaloids, Sulphonamide, Derivatives of Barbituric Acid, and Derivative of Pyrazolone
Kudláček, Karel ; Nesměrák, Karel (advisor) ; Bosáková, Zuzana (referee)
Pharmaceutical preparations of quinine (injection solutions), sulfanilamide, aminophenazone, barbital (tablets), caffeine, phenobarbital (dragee), and theophylline (suppositories) about seventy years old were analyzed using RP-HPLC. Samples were quantified by HPLC-UV and UV-spectrophotometry. Products of degradation were identified using HPLC-UV and HPLC-MS. Conditions of separation were optimized. The samples of quinine injection solutions consist of 92% or 87% of declared quinine content. Quinotoxine has been identified as the product of quinine degradation. The quantification of theophylline in suppositories and caffeine in dragee did not show any degradation after more than 67 years from their manufacturing. Decrase of potent amount (decrase about 8-22 %) were found in drugs containing sulfanilamide, barbital, phenobarbital and aminophenazone. Products of degradation of these pharmaceuticals were not found.
