RESUMEN
Quaternary quinolinium salts differing in alkyl chain length are members of a widespread group of cationic surfactants. These compounds have numerous applications in various branches of industry and research. In this work, the preparation of quinoline-derived cationic surface active agents differing in the length of the side alkyl chains (from C8 to C20) is described. An HPLC method was successfully developed for distinction of all members of the series of prepared long-chain quinolinium derivatives. In conclusion, some possibilities of intended tests or usage have been summarized. In vitro testing using a microdilution broth method showed good activity of a substance with a C12 chain length against Gram-positive cocci and Candida species.

Quaternary pyridinium salts with chains ranging from C8 to C20 belong in the large group of cationic surfactants. In this paper, the preparation of such cationic surface active agents based on the pyridinium moiety and differing in the length of the N-alkyl chain is described. Additionally, HPLC technique was established to distinguish each prepared pyridinium analogue. This study represents universal method for preparation and identification of quaternary pyridinium detergents.

A simple and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography method for the determination of four Leuzea carthamoides flavonoids, namely eriodictyol, patuletin, eriodictyol-7-beta-glucopyranoside, and 6-hydroxykaempferol-7-O-(6"-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside), is presented. Using this method, quantitative composition of flavonoids ranged from 0.011% to 0.574% in dried plant material was determined. This method could be used in the future for the quantitative evaluation of major phenolic compounds in L. carthamoides.

In this study, several thin-layer chromatography (TLC) methods are described for the identification of quaternary and non-quaternary compounds (parent compounds, intermediates, by-products, and products) arisen within the synthesis of the acetylcholinesterase reactivator HI-6, at present the most promising antidote in the case of nerve agent poisonings. Using the TLC technique, particular E and Z isomers of this compound on the oxime group are separated. These TLC methods could be of high interest as quick purity control for those who are interested in development of new acetylcholinesterase reactivators and the synthesis of HI-6 in laboratories or in large-scale production.

Preparation of 1-(4-hydroxy-iminomethylpyridinium)-3-pyridiniumpropane dibromide is described. This compound represents a new acetylcholinesterase (AChE) reactivator, which has no substituents on the second pyridinium ring as found in other commonly used AChE reactivators. The reactivation ability of this reactivator was tested on tabun- and cyclosarin-inhibited AChE. According to the results obtained, the new compound (without substitution and with decreased molecule size) showed increased reactivation potency in case of cyclosarin inhibited AChE. A potent oxime for treatment of tabun and cyclosarin-caused intoxications was thus obtained via slight modification of the reactivator structure (compared to trimedoxime and K027).

Benzalkonium salts are widely used as disinfectants, biocides and detergents,among a variety of other applications. The cationic surface-activity of these salts determines their potential to act as a biocide on both target and non-target organisms. In this study, a quick synthesis of a complete set of the benzalkonium salts differing in the length of an alkylating chain (from C(2) to C(20)) is described. Moreover, their (1)H-NMR, HPLC-MS, TLC and HPLC analysis were recorded.

The paper is a presentation of the current state of development for the Atlas of Physiology and Pathophysiology (Atlas). Our main aim is to provide a novel interactive multimedia application that can be used for biomedical education where (a) simulations are combined with tutorials and (b) the presentation layer is simplified while the underlying complexity of the model is retained. The development of the Atlas required the cooperation of many professionals including teachers, system analysts, artists, and programmers. During the design of the Atlas, tools were developed that allow for component-based creation of simulation models, creation of interactive multimedia and their final coordination into a compact unit based on the given design. The Atlas is a freely available online application, which can help to explain the function of individual physiological systems and the causes and symptoms of their disorders.

An high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for identification of quaternary and non-quaternary compounds (parent compounds, intermediates, by-products, and products) within the synthesis of the acetylcholinesterase reactivator HI-6, the most promising antidote of nerve agent poisonings, is described. This HPLC method could be of high interest as a quick purity control for those who are interested in development of new acetylcholinesterase reactivators as well as for those who are interested in the synthesis of HI-6 in laboratory or in large-scale production. An HPLC method for quaternary compounds without using common ion-pairing reagents was developed, too.
