Grape seed extract is being marketed in France for cardiovascular use and skin care. The active constituents of both these drugs are certain polyphenols called procyanidins. A similar seed extract has now been obtained from Virginia Chardonnay grape seeds. Ten of the major components in this extract have been isolated in their pure form by the semi-preparative HPLC separation on a YMC ODS-AQ (Octadecylsilane-AQ) column. The ODS-Aq column has been shown to have a better resolving capacity compared to the Spherisorb ODS (Octadecylsilane) column previously described in the literature. This has been attributed to the ODSAQ support which has both …

The purpose of this research was to study the effects of cryopreservation on the proteoglycan (PG) and mineral content of aorta conduit tissue. Proteoglycans from fresh and cryopreserved porcine aorta conduit tissues were isolated by extraction with 4 M guanidine (Gdn) - hydrochloride (HCl) for 48 hours. Quantitative analysis of extracted proteoglycans revealed that the content of proteoglycan material from cryopreserved tissue, measured as uronate and protein per unit weight of wet tissue, was similar to that from fresh tissue. Gel permeation column chromatography studies suggested that proteoglycans present in three CsCl fractions from cryopreserved tissues had molecular weights similar …
