Resum
Arsenosugars are the predominant species of arsenic in most seaweed. The analysis of these compounds is hampered by the lack of calibration standards needed in their unambiguous identification and quantification. This affects the availability of reliable information on their potential toxicity, which is scarce and controversial. Knowing the potential of centrifugal partition chromatography (CPC) as a preparative separation technique applied to a number of natural compounds, the aim of this work is to investigate the feasibility of CPC in the case
of isolation and purification of arsenosugars from algae extracts. Several biphasic solvents systems have been studied to evaluate the distribution of the As species. Given the physical characteristics of these compounds, the presence of strong acids, the formation of ionic pairs or the presence of salts at high ionic strength have been considered. System 1-BuOH/EtOH/sat.(NH4)2SO4/water at a volume ratio 0.2:1:1:1 originates adequate distri- bution constants of analytes that allows the required separation. The total arsenic content and the arsenic
speciation of the eluted solutions from CPC were analyzed by ICP-MS and IC-ICP-MS, respectively.
