High-Sensitivity Analysis of Cyanide by Capillary Electrophoresis with Fluorescence Detection
金沢大学大学院自然科学研究科物質情報解析金沢大学工学部A capillary electrophoretic method for a high-sensitivity analysis of cyanide has been developed. Cyanide was derivatized with 2,3-naphthalenedialdehyde and taurine to give a fluorescent product of 1-cyanobenz[f]isoindole. This compound was detected with high sensitivity by fluorescence detection. The detection limit was 0.1 ng/mL, and the calibration curve was linear over the range 0.1 - 200 ng/mL. The precision of the migration time of within-run assays (n = 6) of 1 ng/mL cyanide standard solution was 0.14%. The precision of the peak area for the same runs was 1.0%. This method was applicable to blood analysis. Detection of the cyanide derivative by UV was also examined

Characterization of the chemical diversity of glycosylated mycosporine-like amino acids in the terrestrial cyanobacterium Nostoc commune
Mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) are UV-absorbing pigments, and structurally unique glycosylated MAAs are found in the terrestrial cyanobacterium Nostoc commune. In this study, we examined two genotypes of N. commune colonies with different water extract UV-absorption spectra. We found structurally distinct MAAs in each genotype. The water extract from genotype A showed a UV-absorbing spectrum with an absorption maximum at 335 nm. The extract contained the following compounds: 7-O-(β-arabinopyranosyl)-porphyra-334 (478 Da), pentose-bound shinorine (464 Da), hexose-bound porphyra-334 (508 Da) and porphyra-334 (346 Da). The water extract from genotype B showed a characteristic UV-absorbing spectrum with double absorption maxima at 312 and 340 nm. The extract contained hybrid MAAs (1050 Da and 880 Da) with two distinct chromophores of 3-aminocyclohexen-1-one and 1,3-diaminocyclohexen linked to 2-O-(β-xylopyranosyl)-β-galactopyranoside. A novel 273-Da MAA with an absorption maximum at 310 nm was also identified in genotype B. The MAA consisted of a 3-aminocyclohexen-1-one linked to a γ-aminobutyric acid chain. These MAAs had potent radical scavenging activities in vitro and the results confirmed that the MAAs have multiple roles as a UV protectant and an antioxidant relevant to anhydrobiosis in N. commune. The two genotypes of N. commune exclusively produced their own characteristic glycosylated MAAs, which supports that MAA composition could be a chemotaxonomic marker for the classification of N. commune

Chiral Capillary Electrophoresis of Amphetamine-Type Stimulants
Amphetamine-type stimulants (ATS), having one or more asymmetric carbons, are important targets in forensic science field. For chiral analysis, capillary electrophoresis (CE) has advantages over other chromatographic methods, especially, in fastness, resolution, cost performance and simplicity. This review summarizes chiral separation techniques of ATS using CE with UV detection or CE/mass spectrometry mainly by the present authors\u27 research group
