Executive Summary
We have determined the quantity of ODAP extracted from the Hedysarum alpinum seeds using 0.2 M perchloric acid solution to be 3.94 mg / g of pulverized dried seed.
Analytical Methods
Sample Preparation: Hedysarum alpinum seeds were crushed to a powder in an SPEX 6770 Freezer Mill. Extraction was performed on the powdered seed (0.1623 g) using 5 mL of 0.2 M perchloric acid solution (aqueous) at 0 C for 1 hr. The sample was then centrifuged for 15 min. at 0 C to separate the suspended insoluble. The extracts were derivatized with a para-nitrobenzoyl tag to enhance the signal in the UV-Visible range. Tagging was achieved using 1200 L of 0.025 M para-nitrobenzoyl chloride (PNZ-Cl) in acetonitrile, 300 L of 0.5 M sodium bicarbonate (aqueous), and 500 L of the centrifuged extract solution. The solution was vortexed for 1 min. followed by sonication at room temperature for 5 min. The resulting mixture was then filtered through a 0.45 m nylon filter prior to injection into the HPLC. Preparation of Standard Solutions: A 2.00 mM ODAP solution was prepared by weighing 8.8 mg of ODAP and diluting to 25 mL with deionized water in a volumetric flask. A 400 M solution was prepared by dilution of a 2.0 mL aliquot of the 2.00 mM ODAP solution to 10 mL. A 200 M solution was prepared by dilution of a 1.0 mL aliquot of the 2.00 mM ODAP solution to 10 mL. A 40 M solution was prepared by dilution of a 1.0 mL aliquot of the 400 M ODAP solution to 10 mL. The ODAP was then derivatized using 1200 L of 0.025 M para-nitrobenzoyl chloride (in acetonitrile), 300 L of 0.5 M sodium bicarbonate (aqueous), and 500 L of the corresponding ODAP solution. The solutions were vortexed for 1 min. followed by sonication at room temperature for 5 min. to give standard solutions with concentrations of 500 M, 100 M, 50 M, and 10 M of the analyte. The resulting solutions were then filtered through a 0.45 m nylon filter prior to injection into the HPLC. HPLC Analysis for Quantification of ODAP extracted from JO1777: An Agilent 1100 HPLC was used for the analysis of the ODAP standard solutions and extract. The procedure used is a slight modification of the one used by Li, et. al. (Z.Y. Yan, C.J. Jiao, Y.P. Wang, F.M. Li, Y.M. Liang, Z.X. Li, Analytica Chimica Acta 543 (2005) 199-205). The system parameters are found below: Column: Supelco Discovery C18 (4.6 x 250 mm, 5m) equipped with a C18 guard column (4.6 x 10 mm) Injection Volume: 10 L Column Temperature: 40C Flow Rate: 1.0 mL/min Wavelength: 260 nm Table 2.

Figure 2. Calibration Curve using ODAP Standards Using the calibration curve, the concentration of ODAP in the extracted sample was calculated using the peak area from the chromatogram (Figure 9). The resulting concentration was then used to calculate the amount of material extracted from the powdered seed. These results indicate 3.94 mg of ODAP extracted / g of powdered Hedysarum alpinum seed. In order to confirm the peak identification a UV-Visible scan (200 400 nm) of the peak at 2.7 min. was conducted on both the 500 M standard and the extracted sample. Two peaks were identified with -Max of approximately 220 nm and 270 nm. The UV/Vis data is shown in Figures 10 and 11.
