## Abstract Intracellular/extracellular lactate (Lac) distribution has been determined before in human and animal erythrocytes (red blood cells [RBCs]) with various methods. However, all previous methods determine intra‐ and extracellular Lac separately or indirectly. Now, ^13^C‐NMR spectroscopy ha

Abstract
This work describes the use of [Pr‐DO3A] as a shift reagent for differentiating intra‐ and extracellular L‐lactate resonance in ^1^H‐ and ^13^C‐NMR spectra. DO3A acts as heptadentate ligand towards lanthanide(III) ions, leaving two coordination vacancies for the coordination of the L‐lactate ion. The exchange between free and [Pr‐DO3A]‐bound L‐lactate is fast on the NMR timescale, thus yielding a paramagnetically shifted L‐lactate signal for the substrate in the compartment containing the paramagnetic chelate. The evaluation of the method was carried out on a model system based on sealed ghosts from human red blood cells. Magn Reson Med 47:10–13, 2002. © 2002 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

The 13C NMR behaviour of ten acyclic terpene alcohols was examined in the presence of a chiral lanthanide shift reagent (CLSR). For each alcohol, we measured the lanthanide-induced shift (LIS) on the signals of the carbons and the splitting of some signals, which allowed the enantiomeric differentia
