Countercurrent Chromatographic Separation of Lipophilic Ascorbic Acid Derivatives and Extract from Kadsura Coccinea Using Hydrophobic Organic-Aqueous Two-Phase Solvent Systems.[Pubmed:20046934]

J Liq Chromatogr Relat Technol. 2009 Jan 1;32(16):2361-2371.

Countercurrent chromatographic (CCC) separation of lipophilic ascorbic acid derivatives and the crude extract from Kadsura Coccinea was performed using the type-J multilayer coil planet centrifuge with a hydrophobic organic-aqueous two-phase solvent system composed of n-hexane/ethyl acetate/ethanol/aqueous 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid at the volume ratio of (5 : 5 : 6 : 2). The lipophilic ascorbic acid derivatives were separated in the order of L-ascrobyl 2,6-dibutyrate, L-Ascorbyl 6-palmitate and L-ascorbyl 6-stearate by eluting the lower phase as the mobile phase, and L-ascorbyl 2,6-dipalmitate was separated by eluting the upper phase at the opposite direction. The above solvent system was then applied to the CCC separation of the extract prepared from K. coccinea. With lower phase mobile, the extract was mainly separated into two peaks corresponding to lignans and triterpenoids accordingly. The HPLC analysis of the fractions showed that the former peak contained Kadsulignan N, Schizandrin H and Neokadsuranin as lignans, and the latter peak, Micranoic acid A, Neokadsuranic acid B and beta-Sitosterol as triterpenoids. The overall results indicate that the hydrophobic organic-aqueous two-phase solvent system used in the present studies was useful for the CCC separation of lignans and triterpenoids present in the natural products.

Ultrasound accelerated esterification of palmitic acid with vitamin C.[Pubmed:16697241]

Ultrason Sonochem. 2007 Feb;14(2):213-8.

The esterification of palmitic acid with vitamin C in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid as the solvent and catalyst by means of 25 kHz ultrasonic irradiation to obtain L-Ascorbyl 6-palmitate is studied. By using ultrasound the dissolution rate of the reactants can be accelerated greatly, the reaction time of esterification can be reduced from 36 to 2h, and better yield (90-93%) of ester can be given by using 95% concentrated sulfuric acid as the solvent and catalyst, contrast to the yield of 75-85% by using 99% concentrated sulfuric acid without ultrasound. The influence of reaction conditions and ultrasonic parameters to the yield of ascorbyl palmitate are reported.

Effect of temperature, cholesterol content, and antioxidant structure on the mobility of vitamin E constituents in biomembrane models studied by laterally diffusion-controlled fluorescence quenching.[Pubmed:16262423]

J Am Chem Soc. 2005 Nov 9;127(44):15575-84.

Kinetic parameters relevant for the antioxidant activity of the vitamin E constituents (alpha, beta, gamma, and delta homologues of tocopherols and tocotrienols) and of an amphiphilic vitamin C derivative, L-Ascorbyl 6-palmitate, were determined. Fluorescence quenching experiments of 2,3-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-ene in homogeneous acetonitrile-water mixtures afforded reactivity trends in terms of intermolecular quenching rate constants, while the quenching of Fluorazophore-L in liposomes provided the lateral diffusion coefficients relevant for understanding their biological activity in membranes. The reactivity in homogeneous solution was not influenced by the nature of the isoprenoid tail (tocopherol versus tocotrienol), but was dependent on the methylation pattern. The resulting order (alpha > beta = gamma > delta) was found to be in line with their reactivities toward peroxyl radicals as well as the phenolic O-H bond dissociation energies. The mutual lateral diffusion coefficient in POPC liposomes was the same, within error, for different tocopherols and tocotrienols (D(L) = (1.6 +/- 0.2) x 10(-7) cm(2) s(-1)). L-Ascorbyl 6-palmitate exhibited a reactivity similar to that of delta-tocopherol in homogeneous solution, but displayed a 1 order of magnitude lower fluorescence quenching efficiency in liposomes than the vitamin E constituents. Temperature effects on the laterally diffusion-controlled fluorescence quenching were large, with activation energies of 44 +/- 6 kJ mol(-1). The addition of cholesterol (0-30%) to POPC liposomes resulted only in slightly reduced diffusion coefficients. The combined results demonstrate that Fluorazophore-L can provide important physicochemical parameters for the understanding of antioxidant activity in biological environments.
