The Last 10 Years of Research in the Enantioseparation of Pharmacologically Relevant Phytocannabinoids: An Updated Review.

As research on Cannabis sativa L. and its derivatives expands, an increasing number of novel phytocannabinoids are being identified. Many of these compounds exhibit molecular chirality due to the presence of one or more stereogenic centers in their structures.

The Effect of Maturity Stage on Polyphenolic Composition, Antioxidant and Anti-Tyrosinase Activities of Desf. ex Vent. Extracts.

spp. are often used as food and in traditional medicine, and their biological activities as anti-inflammatory and diuretic, for wound healing, and as antimicrobial agents have been largely reviewed. The aim of this work was to investigate the polyphenol content and the antioxidant and anti-tyrosinase properties of the extracts from , a very poorly explored species.

Development of an easy-to-set-up multiple heart-cutting achiral-chiral LC-LC method for the analysis of branched-chain amino acids in commercial tablets.

In this paper, the development and application of a multiple heart-cutting achiral-chiral LC-LC method (mLC-LC) for the analysis of dansylated (Dns) branched-chain amino acids in commercial tablets are described. In the first dimension, a Waters Xbridge RP C18 achiral column was used under gradient conditions with buffered aqueous solution and acetonitrile. The elution order Dns-valine (Dns-Val) < Dns-isoleucine (Dns-Ile) < Dns-leucine (Dns-Leu) turned out with full resolution between adjacent peaks: 7.

Estimating the hydrophobicity extent of molecular fragments using reversed-phase liquid chromatography.

A fast HPLC method was developed to study the hydrophobicity extent of pharmaceutically relevant molecular fragments. By this strategy, the reduced amount of sample available for physico-chemical evaluations in early-phase drug discovery programs does not represent a limiting factor. The sixteen acid fragments investigated were previously synthesized also determining potentiometrically their experimental log D values.
