An improved two dimensional thin-layer chromatography system for the separation of phosphatidylglycerol and its derivatives. 1976

B J Poorthuis, and P J Yazaki, and K Y Hostetler

A two dimensional thin-layer chromatography system has been devised for the improved separations of phosphatidylglycerol and its derivaties, cardiolipin and bis/monoacylglyceryl)phosphate, from the other phospholipid components of tissue total lipid extracts. The system employs silica gel G plates prepared with 0.4 M boric acid. Linear recovery of added phosphatidylglycerol was found, and phosphatidylglycerol did not cochromatograph with N, N-dimethylphosphatidylethanolamine in this system. The phospholipid class composition of various rat tissues and a Morris 7777 hepatoma has been determined and compared with values from the literature.

D010715	Phosphatidylglycerols	A nitrogen-free class of lipids present in animal and particularly plant tissues and composed of one mole of glycerol and 1 or 2 moles of phosphatidic acid. Members of this group differ from one another in the nature of the fatty acids released on hydrolysis.

D010743	Phospholipids	Lipids containing one or more phosphate groups, particularly those derived from either glycerol (phosphoglycerides see GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS) or sphingosine (SPHINGOLIPIDS). They are polar lipids that are of great importance for the structure and function of cell membranes and are the most abundant of membrane lipids, although not stored in large amounts in the system.

D002855	Chromatography, Thin Layer	Chromatography on thin layers of adsorbents rather than in columns. The adsorbent can be alumina, silica gel, silicates, charcoals, or cellulose.

D006528	Carcinoma, Hepatocellular	A primary malignant neoplasm of epithelial liver cells. It ranges from a well-differentiated tumor with EPITHELIAL CELLS indistinguishable from normal HEPATOCYTES to a poorly differentiated neoplasm. The cells may be uniform or markedly pleomorphic, or form GIANT CELLS. Several classification schemes have been suggested.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013329	Structure-Activity Relationship	The relationship between the chemical structure of a compound and its biological or pharmacological activity. Compounds are often classed together because they have structural characteristics in common including shape, size, stereochemical arrangement, and distribution of functional groups.
