Methanol and formic acid

Shikimic acid is an important product in the synthesis of the anti-influenza drug osseltamivir phosphate. LC-MS method was applied for the determination and quantification of shikimic acid from Vietnamese star anis (Illicium verum Hook.f.). Using the instrument system LC/MSD Agilent series 1110, separation was performed on a Zorbax SB-C18 RP (3.0x150 mm) column with water containing 0.1% formic acid and methanol as mobile phase. Analytes were detected both by DAD at 210 nm and by MS detectors.

Methanol (See also Chap. e34) The ingestion of methanol (wood alcohol) causes metabolic acidosis, and its metabolites formaldehyde and formic acid cause severe optic nerve and central nervous system damage. Lactic acid, ketoacids, and other unidentified organic acids may contribute to the acidosis. Due to its low molecular weight (32 Da), an osmolar gap is usually present. Metabolic Acidosis: Treatment This is similar to that for ethylene glycol intoxication, including general supportive measures, fomepizole or ethanol administration, and hemodialysis.

Introduction: Methanol (methyl alcohol) poisoning accidents take place most frequently by drinking it in mistake for ethanol. Methanol poisoning is not due to the effect of methanol itself, but due to toxicity of its metabolites. Methanol is rapidly absorbed into human body through the airway mucous membranes, digestive tract mucous membranes or the skin; it is metabolized into formaldehyde (formalin, HCHO) and then formic acid (HCOOH) by the actions of alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase, respectively.
