Characterization of lipids with four ester bonds in vernix caseosa by HPLC / MS
Tomášková, Sabina ; Cvačka, Josef (advisor) ; Kozlík, Petr (referee)
Diploma thesis is devoted to the analysis of triacylglycerol estolides (TG-est) by HPLC/MS. These lipids contain four ester bonds. TG-est are part of some vegetable oils and in mammals function as a storage form of metabolically important fatty acid estolides. The aim of this thesis was to prove the existence of TG-est in vernix caseosa and explore the possibilities of analysis in this material. Standards of TG-est were studied with using high-resolution and tandem mass spectrometry. Was suggested and optimized HPLC method for TG-est in a reverse nonaqueous system with the use of column Kinetex C18 and gradient elution with acetonitrile and 2-propanol. This method was used for analysis vernix caseosa fraction, and it was shown that TG-est are present in the sample. Attempts to simplify the lipid sample before analysis HPLC/MS by TLC fractionation were not very successful.
