Preparation and properties of insoluble films of cyclodextrin condensation polymers

The preparation and properties of smooth and stable films of cyclodextrin polymers are described. The commercially available water soluble prepolymers of-, -, and-cyclodextrin of low molecular masses were crosslinked with glutaric dialdehyde. Side-chain unreacted aldehyde groups were reduced with sodium borohydride. For the-cyclodextrin polymer, optimum film performance was found for a 1:10 mass ratio of glutaric dialdehyde to prepolymer, which corresponds to a molar ratio of glutaric dialdehyde to cyclodextrin units of about 1.75: 1. Such films, of thickness 2.4 µm, were prepared on metallic or glassy-carbon substrates for characterization by scanning-electron microscopy, and for studies with the electrochemical quartz-crystal microbalance.

Optimization of silicon dioxide surface functionalization protocol for designing the receptor layer of a biosensor for detecting explosives

The development of the receptor layer of the biosensor for detecting explosive compounds is described. The covalent modification has been chosen for immobilizing E. coli nitroreductase on the gate oxide of the ion-sensitive field effect transistor (ISFET) that is comprised of silicon dioxide. The self-assembled monolayer technique has been used for immobilization. This method assumes the usage of different silanes and spacer molecules for activating the surface of SiO₂. Two different immobilization strategies have been compared, one using asymmetric spacers (3-maleimidobenzoic acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (MBS) and 4-(4-maleimidophenyl)butyric acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (SMPB)) and another using a symmetric glutaric dialdehyde linker both accompanied by appropriate silanes. For the first method, the dependence of functionalization efficiency on silane concentration has been studied. The sufficient density of enzyme molecules on the surface of SiO₂ has been achieved at a concentration of silane of 0.0015%. The type of asymmetric linker has no influence on immobilization efficiency. The method implying glutaric dialdehyde results in higher activity of the immobilized enzyme. For this method, the immobilization procedure has been optimized. The method has been adapted for immobilization of E. coli nitroreductase inside the channel of a microfluidic system on the surface of ISFET. For this purpose, (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) has been changed to the corresponding silatrane, and the concentration of the enzyme has been increased to 30 μg/mL. The optimized procedure has been successfully used to develop a biosensor for detecting explosives.     

Synthesis of a New Series of N‐Mannich Bases and Polyhydroxy Mannich Bases of Pharmaceutical Interest Related to Isatin and Its Schiff Bases

The reaction of isatin 1 with benzaldehyde and a sec‐amine or the appropriate aldimine afforded the N‐Mannich bases 2 – 3 and the bis‐base 4 . Treatment of 1 with glutaric dialdehyde and morpholine gave the bis‐base 5 . Mannich reaction of the Schiff bases 6a – f derived from 1 , led to the new Mannich bases and bis‐bases 7 – 9 . The use of N‐methyl‐D‐glucamine as the amine component in the Mannich reaction with 6b – f led to the polyhydroxy Mannich bases 11 – 13 .

Chitosan‐Glutamate Oxidase Gels: Synthesis,Characterization, and Glutamate Determination

The biopolymer chitosan (CHIT) was chemically modified with glutaric dialdehyde (GDI) and used for the covalent immobilization of enzyme glutamate oxidase (GmOx). The relationships between the loaded, retained, and active units of GmOx in the CHIT‐GDI‐GmOx gels were determined by electrochemical assays. The latter indicated that on average ca. 95% of the GmOx was retained in the CHIT‐GDI matrix that was loaded with 0.10–3.0 units of the enzyme. The maximum activity of the GmOx immobilized in the gels corresponded to ca. 5% of the activity of the free enzyme. Platinum electrodes coated with CHIT‐GDI‐GmOx gels (films) were used as amperometric biosensors for glutamate. Such biosensors displayed good operational and long‐term stability (at least 11 h and 100 days, respectively) in conjunction with low detection limit of 0.10 μM glutamate (S/N=3), linear range up to 0.5 mM (R²=0.991), sensitivity of 100 mA M^?1 cm^?2, and short response time (t_90%=2 s). This demonstrated an efficient signal transduction in the Pt/CHIT‐GDI‐GmOx+glutamate system. The CHIT‐GDI‐GmOx gels constitute a new biosensing element for the development of glutamate biosensors.     

Synthesis of a silica-bonded bovine serum albumin s-triazine chiral stationary phase for high-performance liquid chromatographic resolution of enantiomers

A novel method of synthesizing protein chiral stationary phase (protein-CSP) is proposed with 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine as the activator. The bovine serum albumin (BSA) based chiral columns (150 x 4.6 mm I.D.) were prepared successfully within 8 h. With tryptophan as the probe solute, it was observed that the BSA immobilized by this method had a better ability to distinguish enantiomers than that activated by glutaric dialdehyde. This may be due to the well-maintained BSA conformation and the larger amount of BSA immobilized on the silica gel. The BSA-CSP prepared by this method was relatively stable under experimental conditions, and the resolution of 13 chiral compounds was achieved. The coupling reaction in this method is mild, reliable and reproducible; it is also suitable for the immobilization of various biopolymers in the preparation of bioreactor, biosensor and affinity chromatography columns.

Gold nanoparticle‐incorporated core and shell crosslinked micelles fabricated from thermoresponsive block copolymer of N‐isopropylacrylamide and a novel primary‐amine containing monomer

A novel primary amine‐containing monomer, 1‐(3′‐aminopropyl)‐4‐acrylamido‐1,2,3‐triazole hydrochloride (APAT), was prepared from N‐propargylacrylamide and 3‐azidopropylamine hydrochloride via copper‐catalyzed Huisgen 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition (click reaction). Poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide)‐b‐poly(1‐(3′‐aminopropyl)‐4‐acrylamido‐1,2,3‐triazole hydrochloride), PNIPAM‐b‐PAPAT, was then synthesized via consecutive reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer polymerizations of N‐isopropylacrylamide and APAT. In aqueous solution, the obtained thermoresponsive double hydrophilic block copolymer dissolves molecularly at room temperature and self‐assembles into micelles with PNIPAM cores and PAPAT shells at elevated temperature. Because of the presence of highly reactive primary amine moieties in PAPAT block, two types of covalently stabilized nanoparticles namely core crosslinked and shell crosslinked micelles with ‘inverted’ core‐shell nanostructures were facilely prepared upon the addition of glutaric dialdehyde at 25 and 50 °C, respectively. In addition, the obtained structure‐fixed micelles were incorporated with gold nanoparticles via in situ reduction of preferentially loaded HAuCl₄. High resolution transmission electron microscopy revealed that gold nanoparticles can be selectively loaded into the crosslinked cores or shells, depending on the micelle templates employed. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Curing reaction of unsaturated (epoxy) polyesters based on different aliphatic glycols

The influence of the structure of succinic or glutaric anhydride modified linear unsaturated (epoxy) polyesters on the course of the cure reaction with styrene initiated by benzoyl peroxide (BPO) or the mixture of benzoyl peroxide/tetrahydrophthalic anhydride (BPO/THPA) or benzoyl peroxide/maleic anhydride, as well as viscoelastic properties and thermal behavior of their styrene copolymers have been studied by DSC, DMA, and TGA analyses. Additionally, mechanical properties: flexural properties using three-point bending test and Brinell’s hardness for studied copolymers were evaluated. It was confirmed that the structure of used polyesters had a considerable influence on the course of the cure reaction with styrene, viscoelastic, thermal, and mechanical properties of prepared styrene copolymers. Generally, one or two asymmetrical peaks for the cure reaction of succinic or glutaric anhydride modified linear unsaturated epoxy polyesters with styrene were observed. They were connected with various cure reaction, e.g., copolymerization of carbon–carbon double bonds of polyester with styrene, thermal curing of epoxy groups, polyaddition reaction of epoxy to anhydride groups in dependence of used curing system. In addition, only one asymmetrical, exothermic peak attributed to the copolymerization process of succinic or glutaric anhydride modified linear unsaturated polyesters with styrene was visible. Moreover, the obtained styrene copolymers based on succinic or glutaric anhydride modified linear unsaturated epoxy polyesters were characterized by higher values of E_{20 ^°\textC}^￠ E_{{20\,^{\circ}{\text{C}}}}^{\prime} , T _g, E″, ν _e, E _mod, F _max, hardness, IDT, FDT but lower ε − F _max compared to those values observed for styrene copolymers prepared in the presence of succinic or glutaric anhydride modified linear unsaturated polyesters. This supported to the production of stiffer and more thermally stable polymeric structure of copolymers based on unsaturated epoxy polyesters. Moreover, the copolymers prepared in the use of glutaric anhydride modified linear unsaturated (epoxy) polyesters were described by lower values of E_{20 ^°\textC}^￠ E_{{20\,^{\circ}{\text{C}}}}^{\prime} , T _g, E″, ν _e, E _mod, F _max, hardness, IDT, FDT but higher ε − F _max than those based on succinic anhydride modified linear unsaturated (epoxy) polyesters. The presence of longer aliphatic chain length in polyester’s structure leads to produce more flexible network structure of styrene copolymers based on glutaric anhydride modified linear unsaturated (epoxy) polyesters than those based on succinic anhydride modified linear unsaturated (epoxy) polyesters.     

Amperometric Biosensors Based on Platinum Nanowires

Abstract

Platinum nanowires (PtNW) were prepared by an electrodeposition strategy using nanopore alumina template. The nanowires prepared were dispersed in chitosan (CHIT) solution and stably immobilized onto the surface of glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The electrochemical behavior of PtNW‐modified electrode and its application to the electrocatalytic reduction of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) are investigated. The modified electrode allows low potential detection of hydrogen peroxide with high sensitivity and fast response time. As an application example, the glucose oxidase was immobilized onto the surface of PtNW‐modified electrode through cross‐linking by glutaric dialdehyde. The detection of glucose was performed in phosphate buffer at –0.2 V. The resulting glucose biosensor exhibited a short response time (<8 s), with a linear range of 10^?5?10^?2 M and detection limit of 5×10^?6 M.

Thus, selective mono epoxidation of 1,4-cyclohexadiene was followed by periodate oxidation to the appropriate dialdehyde. Finally, Jones oxidation of the dialdehyde afforded the corresponding diacid product.

Study of cryostructurization of polymer systems

The influence of freezing of a reaction mass on the properties of the resulting covalently cross-linked gels is exemplified by a system composed of a solution of chitosan in aqueous acetic acid and glutaric dialdehyde serving as a cross-linking agent. The freezing is shown to lead to a noticeable decrease of critical concentration of gelation as compared with the reactions of polymeric chain cross-linking in ordinary conditions. Consideration is given to some properties of three-dimensional networks obtained by cryostructurization.
