Abstract: | Background, aim, and scope We recently developed a new isolation method for diesel exhaust particles (DEP), involving successive extraction with H2O, sodium bicarbonate, and sodium hydroxide, in which the sodium hydroxide extract was found to consist of phenolic components.
Analysis of the extract revealed that vasodilative-active nitrophenols are in DEP in significantly higher concentrations than
those estimated by an earlier method involving a combination of solvent extraction and repeated chromatography. These findings
indicated that our new procedure offers a simple, efficient, and reliable method for the isolation and identification of bioactive
substances in DEP. This encouraged us to extend our work toward investigating new vasodilatory substances in the sodium bicarbonate
extract. |
