D-Glucuronic Acid. Crystalline Glucuronolactone
The Tohoha Journal of Experimental Medicine, Vol. 69, Nos. 2-3, 1959 Biochemical Studies on Carbohydrates CCXXVII. On Paper Chromatography of Rexuronic Acids By Hajime Masamune and Mei Satake (正 宗 一) (佐 武 明) From the Medico-chemical Institute, Tohoku University, Sendai (Received for publication, December 15, 1958) There were three papers published from this laboratory with respect to paper chromatography of glucuronic, galacturonic and mannuronic acids.1)-3) Since then, L-guluronic acid was isolated as L-guluronolactone from alginic acid,4) and L-iduronic acid in ƒÀ-heparine and skin-itinsulfate was identified by paper chromatography5) as well as by isolation as 2,3,4- tri-O-acetyl-L-idosan.6) Therefore the writers have investigated how to discriminate those five hexuronic acids occurring in nature in a paper chromatogram, with the resulting conclusions: 1) Kinds of filter paper made up of acid-treated fibers, for instance, Toyo Roshi filter paper No. 3 give concentrated spots contrary to those of filter paper without previous acid-treatment. 2) Free hexuronic acids are less sharply separated than their lactones by any of the solvent mixtures listed in Table I. 3) Solvent VI, VIII and ‡\ in Table I are most appropriate for the purpose, because they separate galacturonic acid from the remaining hexuronic acids on one hand and the lactones of the latter four hexuronic acids from one another on the other. Rr (rate of flow of a sugar against rhamnose) values of the hexuronic acids and their lactones are shown in the same table. 4) It is advisable to preliminarily free a hexuronic acid or acids from hexosamines, amino acids and ordinary sugars, which are present in the same hydrolysate, by the aid of a cation- and an anion-exchanger, if identification of them in mucoproteins is aimed at by paper chromatography. -

Determination of Gulose And/Or Guluronic Acid by Ion Chromatography and Pulsed Amperometric Detection
Carbohydrate Polymers 17 (1992) 205-207 Determination of gulose and/or guluronic acid by ion chromatography and pulsed amperometric detection L. H. Krull & G. L. Cote* Biopolymer Research. National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research. US Department ofAgriculture. T Agricultural Research Service, 1815 North University St. Peoria. Illinois 61604. USA (Received 8 June 1990: revised version received 28 December 1990: accepted IS January 1991) A method for the determination of guluronic acid in polysaccharides which may also contain either glucuronic or mannuronic acid has been developed. The method makes use of an ion chromatographic instrument equipped with a pulsed amperometric detector. The method will detect concentrations in the range of0·5 to 50 ppm. This technique has been applied to the detemlination of mannuronate/guluronate ratios in commercial samples of alginic acid. as \vell as to the stmctural analysis of an extracellular bacterial alginate. INTRODUCTION arising from the reduction of D-glucose. Although alginic acid itself contains neither glucose nor Complete and quantitative acid hydrolysis of poly glucuronic acid. this may not always be the case when saccharides containing uronic acid residues is one is working with neVi. uncharacterized poly notoriously difficult to attain (Adams. 1965). For this saccharides. reason. the uronic acid residues in such polymers are There are ways to circumvent this ambiguity. usually first reduced to their corresponding neutral including the use of per-O-acetylated aldononitrile sugar analogues (Taylor et at.. 1976). Once reduced. the (PAAN) derivatives rather than per-O-acetylated neutral polysaccharide can then be analyzed by more alditols (Lance & Jones. 1967). and the direct HPLC conventional means. -
