Characterization of stationary phases based on monosubstituted benzene retention indices using correspondence factor analysis and linear solvation energy relationships in RPLC

International audienceIn reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC), the comparison of experimental results obtained from different columns is a complex problem. A correspondence factor analysis (CFA) and a linear solvation energy relationship (LSER) were applied on retention data to characterize second-order intermolecular interactions responsible for retention on a set of RPLC columns. Seven octadecyl-C 18 columns with different packing materials are obtained from different manufacturers and one octyl-C 8 column. The retention data were determined under isocratic conditions using a methanol-water (65:35, v/v) mobile phase. The chromatographic retention indices based on alkan-2-ones and alkyl aryl ketones retention index scales are calculated using a multiparametric least-squares regressions iterative method. The CFA and LSER results permitted to highlight that the retention indices were appropriate for studying the second-order retention mechanisms on the eight chromatographic systems investigated and exhibited the best reproducibility. Although many earlier studies have reported the use of chemo-metric methods to characterize chemical factors affecting retention in RPLC using retention factors as retention parameters, this is the first study based on retention indices

L'administration de geldanamycine réduit le nombre de gonocytes exprimant l'HSP86 chez l'embryon de souris: premiers résultats.

5 mg of Geldanamycin, an inhibitor of stress protein HSP86 which express on mammalian germ cells, were administered to E8 pregnant mice. E17 embryos were removed, and a quantitative analysis of HSP90-immunoreactive cells in the gonad was performed, in comparison to control embryos. First, we observed that the number of germ cells is lower in male than in female embryos, as well in control and experimental embryos. External features of experimental and control embryos did not display any difference. Embryos exposed to geldanamycin exhibit a significant decrease of immunoreactive germ cells. In two embryos, we observed a group of ectopic immunoreactive cells in the pelvic area. We conclude that geldanamycin inhibits germ cells migration, and suggest that this inhibition can lead to ectopic germ cell populations, similar to teratomas.English AbstractJournal Articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
