In the present study, the Salmonella typhimurium tester strain TA 100 was used in the plate-incorporation test to examine the antimutagenic potential of caffeic, ferulic and cichoric acids extracted from plant species of genera Echinacea (L) Moench, as well as of another phenolic acids, on 3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)acrylic acid (5NFAA) and sodium azide mutagenicity. All tested compounds possess antimutagenic activity. In the case of 5NFAA, the antimutagenic potency of tested compounds was in the order of gallic acid > ferulic acid > caffeic acid > syringic acid > vanillic acid. The mutagenic effect of sodium azide was inhibited by tested phenolic acids by about 20-35 %. The most effective compound, gallic acid inhibits this effect by 82 % in the concentration of 500 mug/plate. The only exception from favourable properties of tested phenolic acids is cichoric acid, which in the contrary significantly increased the mutagenic effect of 5NFAA.

A new method for the electrophoretic separation of nine phenolic acids (derivatives of benzoic and cinnamic acids) with contactless conductometric detection is presented. Based on theoretical calculations, in which the mobility of the electrolyte co- and counterions and mobility of analytes are taken into consideration, the electrolyte composition and detection mode was selected. This approach was found to be especially valuable for optimization of the electrolyte composition for the separation of analytes having medium mobility. Indirect conductometric detection mode was superior to the direct mode as predicted theoretically. The best performance was achieved with 150 mM 2-amino-2-methylpropanol electrolyte at pH 11.6. The separation was carried out in a counter-electroosmotic mode and completed in less than 6 min. The LODs achieved were about 2.3-3.3 microM and could be further improved to 0.12-0.17 microM by using a sample stacking procedure. The method compares well to the UV-Vis detection.
Eight phenolic acids were analyzed by capillary zone electrophoresis. On-line analyte preconcentration was carried out by hydrodynamic injection of large volume of sample followed by removal of the bulk of the low conductivity sample matrix by polarity switching. The optimal electrolyte system consisted of 50mM sodium tetraborate of pH 9.0 (adjusted with 0.1 M phosphoric acid) containing 2% of alpha-cyclodextrin. The separations were carried out with a fused silica capillary (effective length 50 cm, i.d. 50 microm) and monitored at 200 nm. Under optimized preconcentration conditions (sample injection 99 s at 100 mbar and the polarity switching time 1.0 min) linear calibration ranges (0.1-2.0 microg/ml, R=0.9979-0.9995), favourable limits of detection (0.01-0.025 microg/ml) and good repeatability of the peak areas (R.S.D.: 2.76-5.69%, n=6) were achieved.
Složení fenolové kyseliny kvetoucích výhonků Caragana frutex bylo analyzováno metodou HPLC. Byl stanoven kvantitativní obsah sedm fenolických kyselin a jejich derivátů: kyselina galová, p-hydroxyfenyloctová, chlorogenová, kávová, р-kumarová, trans-ferulová, sinapová). Kyselina sinapová (513,0 μg/g) a kyselina chlorogenová (98,4 μg/g) převládají mezi deriváty kyseliny hydroxyskořicové. Antioxidační aktivita výhonků Caragana frutex stanovená ABTS metodou činila 9368,51 ± 30,07 μg/g, vyjádřeno jako ekvivalent Troloxu.
The phenolic acid composition of flowering Caragana frutex shoots was analyzed by the HPLC method. The quantitative content of seven phenolic acids and their derivatives has been determined: gallic, p-hydroxyphenyl acetic, chlorogenic, caffeic, р-coumaric, trans-ferulic, and sinapic) acids. Sinapic acid (513.0 μg/g) and chlorogenic acid (98.4 μg/g) predominate among phenolic acid derivatives. The antioxidant activity of Caragana frutex shoots determined by the ABTS method equaled 9368.51 ± 30.07 μg/g expressed as Trolox equivalent.
A novel transient ITP-CZE for preconcentration and determination of seven phenolic acids (caffeic acid, cinnamic acid, p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, protocatechuic acid, syringic acid, and vanilic acid) was developed and validated. Effects of several factors such as control of EOF, pH and buffer concentration, addition of organic solvents and CDs, and conditions for sample injection were investigated. Sample self-stacking was applied by means of induction of transient ITP, which was realized by adding sodium chloride into the sample. The CZE was realized in 200 mM borate buffer ((w)(s)pH 9.2) containing 37.5% methanol, 0.001% hexadimethrine bromide, and 15 mM 2-hydroxypropyl-β-CD. Under the optimal conditions for analysis, analytes were separated within 20 min. Linearity was tested for each compound in the concentration range of 0.1-10 μg/mL (R = 0.9906-0.9968) and the detection limits (S/N = 3) ranged from 11 ng/mL (protocatechuic acid) to 31 μg/mL (syringic acid). The validated method was applied to the ethanolic extract of Epilobium parviflorum, Onagraceae. The method of SPE was used for the precleaning of the sample.
