Concerning the distribution of a drug, models have been published for log BB blood/brain partition coefficient) for CNS-active drugs (CNS, central nervous system) crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB) [38-45] and binding to human serum albumin (HSA) [46]. 

Sulfaphenazole (684) and sulfazamet (685) are both examples of relatively short acting sulfonamides (B-80MI40406) and their antibacterial activity has been tested against Escherichia coli, the former being more effective than the latter. Sulfaphenazole also displaces sulfonyl ureas from protein binding sites on human serum albumin and consequently increases the concentration of the free (active) drug and produces a more intense reaction that may result in hypoglycemia. 

Human serum albumin has been purified similarly with 25% EtOH and 0.2% decanol. The isoelectric points of bovine and human serum albumins are 5.1 and 4.9. 

In this chapter we will discuss immunoglobulins of the IgG class, which is the major type of immunoglobulin in normal human serum, and which has the simplest structure. Each chain of an IgG molecule is divided into domains of about 110 amino acid residues. The light chains have two such domains, and the heavy chains have four. 

Ega, or PGEgQ, is present in human serum at a level of less than M.Hn addition, they often have half-lives of only 30 seconds to a few minutes, not lasting long enough to be easily identified. Moreover, most animal tissues upon dissection and homogenization rapidly synthesize and degrade a variety of these substances, so the amounts obtained in isolation procedures are extremely sensitive to the methods used and highly variable even when procedures are carefully controlled.

Today, however, GC-GC coupling is seldom used to determine pesticides in environmental samples (2), although comprehensive MDGC has been applied to determine pesticides in more complex samples, such as human serum (19). On the other-hand, new trends in the pesticide market, which is now moving towards the production of optically active enantiomers and away from racemic mixtures, may make this area suitable for GC-GC application. The coupling of non-chiral columns to chiral columns appears to be a suitable solution to the separation problems that such a trend might cause. 

Comprehensive two-dimensional GC has also been employed for the analysis of pesticides from serum, which, although not strictly a forensic analytical problem , provides an example of the promise of this technique to forensic applications, such as the analysis of drugs of abuse (40). Two-dimensional gas chromatograms of a 17-pesticide standard and an extract from human serum are shown in Figure 15.13.

Proteins. A chiral stationary phase with immobilized a -acid glycoprotein on silica beads was introduced by Hermansson in 1983 [18, 19]. Several other proteins such as chicken egg albumin (ovalbumin), human serum albumin, and cellohy-drolase were also used later for the preparation of commercial CSPs. Their selectivity is believed to occur as a result of excess of dispersive forces acting on the more retained enantiomer [17]. These separation media often exhibit only modest loading capacity.

The resolution of these columns for protein mixtures, however, was comparably poor. The peak capacity for human serum albumin was near 3 during 20 min gradient elution. Improvement has been reached by covalent binding of PEI (M = 400-600) onto a 330 A silica of 5 pm particle size [38], The peak capacities of ovalbumin and 2a -arid glycoprotein were 30-40 (tgradienl = 20 min). Enhanced peak capacity and resolution probably were due to the more diffuse structure of PEI coupled to silane moieties than that of strictly adsorbed on silica and cross-linked (see Sect, 2.2). Other applications of covalently adsorbed PEI are discussed in Sect. 4.1. 

An affinity sorbent based on WPA-PG carrying immobilized human IgG was applied to the isolation of the first component of the complement (Cl) from human serum and for its separation into subcomponents Clr, Cls and Clq by the one-step procedure [126,127]. Cl was quantitatively bound to the sorbent at 0 °C. The activities of subcomponents Clq and Clr2r2 in the unbound part of the serum were found to be 0.8% and 3.3% of the initial activities in serum. This fraction, therefore, could be used as a R1 reagent for determining the hemolytic activity of Cl. Apparently, the neighboring macromolecules of immobilized IgG resemble to some extent an immune complex, whereas Cl formation is facilitated due to the mobility of polymer chains with the attached IgG macromolecules (Cl is usually dissociated in serum by 30%). After activation of bound Cl by heating (30 °C, 40 min) the activated subcomponent Clr is eluted from the sorbent. Stepwise elution with 0.05 mol/1 EDTA at pH 7.4 or with 0.05 mol/1 EDTA + 1 mol/1 NaCl at pH 8.5 results in a selective and quantitative elution of the activated subcomponent Cls and subcomponent Clq.

Methyl parathion was determined in dog and human serum using a benzene extraction procedure followed by GC/FID detection (Braeckman et al. 1980, 1983 DePotter et al. 1978). An alkali flame FID (nitrogen-phosphorus) detector increased the specificity of FID for the organophosphorus pesticides. The detection limit was in the low ppb (pg/L). In a comparison of rat blood and brain tissue samples analyzed by both GC/FPD and GC/FID, Gabica et al. (1971) found that GC/FPD provided better specificity. The minimum detectable level for both techniques was 3.0 ppb, but GC/FPD was more selective. The EPA-recommended method for analysis of low levels (<0.1 ppm) of methyl parathion in tissue, blood, and urine is GC/FPD for phosphorus (EPA 1980d). Methyl parathion is not thermally stable above 120 °C (Keith and Walters 1985).
