SAX-HPLC, GLYCOSYL COMPOSITION, AND NMR OF 7 SAMPLES

这个子项目是众多研究子项目之一

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Complete depolymerization to disaccharides with heparinases I, II, and III A 20 uL aliquot of a 20 g/L solution of low molecular weight heparin (AVT and HSP) in water was diluted with 80 uL 100 mM NaOAc buffer, pH 7, containing 2 mM calcium acetate and 1 g/L BSA. The mixture was then treated with 20 uL of a mixture of heparinases I, II, and III (0.5 U/mL each) in 10 mM potassium phosphate buffer, pH 7, containing 2 g/L BSA and incubated at 23 ¿C. After 48 h, the reaction was quenched by boiling the mixture for 2 min. Partial depolymerization with heparinase I, heparinase II, or a mixture of both (Lots 93485, 93689, 12074, 15057, and DA1194 only) All 4 samples were treated with heparinase I alone, heparinase II alone, and with a mixture of heparinases I and II. A 150 uL aliquot of a 2 g/L solution of low molecular weight heparin (AVT and HSP) in 20 mM NH4OAc buffer, pH 7, containing 2 mM calcium acetate was treated with 20 mU of heparinase (I or II or I and II) and incubated at 37 ¿C. After 24 h, the reaction was quenched by boiling the mixture for 2 min. Reduction A 60 uL portion of the heparinase-digested sample was treated with 20 uL of a 30 g/L solution of NaBH4 in H2O for at least 24 h at 23 ¿C. SAX-HPLC of disaccharide mixture SAX-HPLC was carried out on an Agilent system using a 4.6¿250 mm Waters Spherisorb analytical column with 5um particle size at 45 ¿C. Analytes were detected by their UV absorbance at 232 nm using the following system. Solvent A: 2.5 mM Na-phosphate, pH 3.5; Solvent B: 2.5 mM Na-phosphate, pH 3.5, 1.2 M NaClO4. After 5 min at 98 % A, a linear gradient was applied to reach 50 % B after 50 min. The flow rate was 1.4 mL/min. The percentage of chains terminating in anhydro forms was determined according to equation 1 using the integration values of the SAX-HPLC chromatograms (Tables 1-4). (eq. 1) A = peak area from the SAX chromatogram MW = mass average molecular weight of enoxaparin = 4400 g/mol (from Opocrin) MMi = molecular weight of each individual di- or tetrasaccharide SAX-HPLC of partially depolymerized product The same conditions as above were used with a modification of the buffer gradient: After 5 min at 97 % A, a linear gradient was applied to reach 50 % B at 50 min, and then a linear gradient was applied to reach 100 % B at 82 min. Glycosyl composition Glycosyl composition analysis was performed by combined gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) of the per-O-trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivatives of the monosaccharide methyl glycosides produced from the sample by acidic methanolysis. 1mg of each samples was completely desulfated and depolymerized by repeated (3 X) methanolysis and re-N-acetylation. For each repetition, the dry sample was heated to 100 ¿C with 0.5 mL 3 M HCl in MeOH for 2 h, evaporated, treated with 200 uL MeOH, 100 uL pyridine, and 100 uL acetic anhydride, and dried under a stream of air. After the last N-acetylation step, the sample was heated for 20 min at 80 ¿C with 200 uL Tri-Sil. GC/MS analysis of the TMS methyl glycosides was performed on an HP 5890 GC interfaced to a 5970 MSD, using a Supelco DB-1 fused silica capillary column (30m ¿ 0.25 mm ID). NMR Spectroscopy The sample was deuterium-exchanged by lyophilization from D2O and dissolved in 700 uL D2O (99.96 % D). Gradient heteronuclear single quantum coherence (gHSQC) spectra were acquired on a Varian Inova-500 MHz spectrometer at 313 K (40 ¿C). Proton chemical shifts were measured relative to DSS (S=0.00 ppm). The spectra were recorded with a spectral width in the proton dimension of 3 kHz and in the carbon dimension of 15-20 kHz (depending on sample amount and instrument time available). The acquisition time was 0.20 s, and 200 increments were collected with 64-128 scans each. The one-bond C-H coupling constant was set to 140 Hz.
