洗提色谱法对煤液化产物的族组分分离

在煤液化产物中,化合物种类繁多,分子大小很不均匀。对这样复杂的样品直接进行组分鉴定或结构解析是困难的。因此在进一步分析之前常常根据化合物的类型加以分离。当然利用荧光指示剂吸附法(FIA)和高效波相色谱(HPLC)可以进行这样的工作。但前者的缺点是不能分离样品中的极性组分;使用HPLC时,由于样品复杂,各组分的响应值不一样,目前进行定量分离尚有一些困难。

青霉素G酰化酶在含环氧基团的顺磁性聚合物微球上的固定化（英文）

青霉素G酰化酶(PGA)是一种重要的工业生物催化剂,常用于以青霉素G为底物生产7-氨基去乙酰氧基头孢烷酸(7-ADCA)和6-氨基青霉烷酸(6-APA)等半合成β-内酰胺类抗生素.然而,PGA较差的稳定性和可重复使用性能限制了其在工业上的广泛应用.因此,将PGA固定在固体载体上是很有必要的,可以形成一种可重复使用的高性能的多相催化剂.用于生物酶固定化的良好载体应具备以下条件:(1)载体表面具有可用于与生物酶多点结合的高密度的官能团;(2)载体具有较大的比表面积以固定更多的生物酶.通常情况下,可以通过减小载体的粒径来增加其比表面积,然而,小粒径的载体很难从反应混合液中分离出来,造成固定化酶回收使用困难.为了将聚合物微球的优异固定化性能与磁性纳米粒子的独特顺磁性结合起来,我们制备了一种含环氧基团的顺磁性聚合物微球作为PGA的固定化载体.但由于Fe_3O_4纳米颗粒具有较高的表面能,在反相悬浮聚合反应过程中容易团聚成大颗粒,从而导致制备的顺磁性聚合物微球的磁体含量、表面形貌和粒径分布存在差异.此外,Fe_3O_4纳米颗粒与聚合反应单体之间的相容性不好,使得部分磁性颗粒不能很好地包埋于聚合物微球内部,影响固定化酶的活性和操作稳定性.本文以N,N′–亚甲基双丙烯酰胺为交联剂,以甲基丙烯酸缩水甘油酯和烯丙基缩水甘油醚为功能性单体,用反相悬浮聚合方法在SiO_2包覆的Fe_3O_4纳米颗粒表面成功制备出含环氧基团的顺磁性聚合物微球.用SEM,FT-IR,XRD,VSM和低温氮气吸附等手段对含环氧基团的顺磁性聚合物微球进行了表征.研究了SiO_2对Fe_3O_4纳米颗粒的包覆和Fe_3O_4/SiO_2纳米颗粒的数量对于固定化酶的初始活性和操作稳定性的影响.SiO_2在反相悬浮聚合过程中发挥重要作用,用SiO_2对Fe_3O_4纳米颗粒进行亲水性改性,有效改善了Fe_3O_4纳米颗粒与聚合反应单体的相容性,将其引入反相悬浮聚合体系中,可以制备得到球形度好、粒径分布均匀和超顺磁性的含环氧基团的顺磁性聚合物微球,其中当Fe_3O_4/SiO_2纳米颗粒的质量比为7.5%时制备的含环氧基团的顺磁性聚合物微球具有最好的PGA固定化性能.PGA通过其活性非必需侧链基团–氨基与顺磁性聚合物微球表面的环氧基团的共价结合来制备顺磁性固定化酶,该固定化PGA的初始活性为430 U/g(wet),在外加磁场的作用下容易回收使用,重复使用10次后可保留99%的初始活性,具有良好的热稳定性和酸碱稳定性,具有较好的工业应用前景.

High-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-based acetylcholinesterase assay for the screening of inhibitors in natural extracts

The present paper describes a High-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) methodology for the screening of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors in natural extracts. AChE activity of sample components is monitored by a post-column biochemical assay that is based on the separate, sequential mixing of AChE and acetylcholine, respectively, with the HPLC eluate. AChE inhibitors are detected by measuring a decrease of product formation using electrospray MS. Ammonium bicarbonate was used as buffer in order to achieve optimum compatibility between biochemical assay and MS detection conditions. The assay is robust and stable for over 13 h and compares favourably with other AChE assays in terms of stability and sensitivity. IC(50) values of 9-aminoacridine, galanthamine, gallamine, (-)-huperzine A and thioflavin T were determined to be 0.12, 0.38, 6.4, 0.46 and 3.2 microM, respectively. The assay was used to effectively identify an AChE inhibitor present in a crude extract of Narcissus c.v. "Bridal Crown".     

Preparative isolation and analysis of alcohol dehydrogenase inhibitors from Glycyrrhiza uralensis root using ultrafiltration combined with high‐performance liquid chromatography and high‐speed countercurrent chromatography

A simple, rapid, and effective assay based on ultrafiltration combined with high‐performance liquid chromatography and high‐speed countercurrent chromatography was developed for screening and purifying alcohol dehydrogenase inhibitors from Glycyrrhiza uralensis root extract. Experiments were carried out to optimize binding conditions including alcohol dehydrogenase concentration, incubation time, temperature, and pH. By comparing the chromatograms, three compounds were found possessing alcohol dehydrogenase binding activity in Glycyrrhiza uralensis root. Under the target‐guidance of ultrafiltration combined with the high‐performance liquid chromatography experiment, liquiritin ( 1 ), isoliquiritin ( 2 ), and liquiritigenin ( 3 ) were separated by high‐speed countercurrent chromatography using ethyl acetate/methanol/water (5:1:4) as the solvent system. The alcohol dehydrogenase inhibitory activities of these three isolated compounds were assessed; compound 2 showed strongest inhibitory activity with an IC₅₀ of 8.95 μM. The results of the present study indicated that the combinative method using ultrafiltration, high‐performance liquid chromatography and high‐speed countercurrent chromatography could be widely applied for the rapid screening and isolation of enzyme inhibitors from complex mixtures.     

A method of hepatocyte extraction conjugated with HPLC is established for screening potential active components in Chinese medicines--probing Herba Artemisiae Scopariae as an exemplifying approach

In order to establish an effective and quick method for screening potential bioactive compounds in Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCMs), hepatocytes were employed for extracting either bifendate, a clinical medicine for liver diseases, or chemicals in Herba Artemisiae Scopariae (A. Scopariae), a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine for remedying liver diseases such as hepatitis induced by viruses, chemicals or alcohol. After hepatocyte extraction the compounds were analyzed by HPLC, therefore this method was referrred to as hepatocyte extraction conjugated with HPLC (HE-HPLC). In the first part of this study, HE-HPLC showed that bifendate was extracted by hepatocytes and detected by HPLC-DAD which indicated the feasibility of this method. Then in the second part of the study, the potential active components in the A. scopariae extract were studied using HE-HPLC. Six chemicals in the A. scopariae extract, which could bind to hepatocytes in vitro, were detected by HPLC-DAD and three were identified as 7-hydroxy-coumarin (7-OH-C), capillartemisin A and 7-methoxy-coumarin, respectively. In vitro assays showed that 7-OH-C protected HL-7702 hepatocytes from H?O? injury. The results indicated that these compounds could be extracted by hepatocytes, could be detected by HPLC and more importantly were bioactive. It is suggested that HE-HPLC is a useful method for screening potent active components in Chinese medicines used to treat liver diseases.     

Effect of gamma-radiation on the extraction of europium and americium by benzyldibutylamine

The effect of gamma irradiation on benzene solutions of benzyldibutylamine with cetyl alcohol used for the extraction of europium and americium from nitrate solutions was investigated. The dependence of the distribution coefficient on the dose absorbed either by the whole system or some efficient component was measured. Nitric acid present during irradiation significantly lowers the radiation stability, while benzyldibutylamine and cetyl alcohol appear to be radiostable components. Up to tens of kGy's—the doses expected in an extraction process from highly active solutions—the system seems to be quite stable.     

On‐line high‐performance liquid chromatography coupled with biochemical detection method for screening of α‐glucosidase inhibitors in green tea

An on‐line high‐performance liquid chromatography–biochemical detection (HPLC‐BCD) method, in which compounds separated by HPLC were on‐line reacted with enzyme and substrate solutions delivered by flow injection and the enzyme inhibition signal was collected by UV detection, was developed to rapidly screen α‐glucosidase inhibitors from green tea extracts in this study. The chromatographic fingerprints and enzyme inhibition profiles of the different brands of green tea could be simultaneously detected by the on‐line HPLC‐BCD method. Enzyme inhibition profiles were detected by the UV detector at 415 nm based on the reaction of α‐glucosidase and p‐nitrophenyl α‐d ‐glucopyranoside (PNPG). PNPG (1.25 mm ), α‐glucosidase (0.4 U/mL) and the flow rate 0.07 mL/min were applied as optimized parameters to detect α‐glucosidase inhibitors in green tea. Four components in green tea showed α‐glucosidase inhibition action and three of them were identified as HHDP‐galloyl glucose, (−)‐epigallocatechin‐3‐gallate and (−)‐epicatechin‐3‐gallate by HPLC–fourier‐transform mass spectrometry (HPLC‐FTMS). Two brands of green tea derived from Mengding and Enshi mountainous areas might be superior to the other samples in the prevention and treatment of diabetes owing to their stronger activities of enzyme inhibitors. The proposed on‐line HPLC‐BCD method could be used to rapidly identify the potential enzyme inhibitors in complex matrixes.     

Sensitive determination of dissolved sulfide in estuarine water by solid-phase extraction and high-performance liquid chromatography of methylene blue

A sensitive method involving solid-phase extraction and HPLC analysis of methylene blue has been developed to measure nanomolar levels of dissolved sulfide in oxic surface waters. The procedure included 1) a preconcentration step, in which methylene blue generated from sulfide reaction with n,n-dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine in acidic conditions in the presence of ferric ion was absorbed onto Waters tC18 cartridge; and 2) a determination step, in which methylene blue was separated by HPLC in a gradient elution to minimize natural organic matter interference and detected by absorbance. The concentrations of the dissolved sulfide, quantified by standard addition, were about 2.1-4.7 nM in oxic surface waters from Galveston Bay, Texas.     

Preparation of a dual‐enzyme co‐immobilized capillary microreactor and simultaneous screening of multiple enzyme inhibitors by capillary electrophoresis

A CE method based on a dual‐enzyme co‐immobilized capillary microreactor was developed for the simultaneous screening of multiple enzyme inhibitors. The capillary microreactor was prepared by co‐immobilizing adenosine deaminase and xanthine oxidase on the inner wall at the inlet end of the separation capillary. The enzymes were first immobilized on gold nanoparticles, and the functionalized gold nanoparticles were then assembled on the inner wall at the inlet end of the separation capillary treated with polyethyleneimine. With the developed CE method, the substrates and products were baseline separated within 3 min. The activity of the immobilized enzyme can be directly detected by measuring the peak height of the products. A statistical parameter Z′ factor was recommended for evaluation of the accuracy of a drug screening system. In the present study, it was calculated to be larger than 0.5, implying a good accuracy. Finally, screening a small compound library containing two known enzyme inhibitors and 20 natural extracts by the proposed method was demonstrated. The known inhibitors were identified, and some natural extracts were found to be positive for two‐enzyme inhibition by the present method.     

Screening and analysis of the multiple absorbed bioactive components and metabolites in rat plasma after oral administration of Jitai tablets by high‐performance liquid chromatography/diode‐array detection coupled with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry

Based on the serum pharmacochemistry technique and high‐performance liquid chromatography/diode‐array detection (HPLC/DAD) coupled with electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/ESI‐MS/MS), a method for screening and analysis of the multiple absorbed bioactive components and metabolites of Jitai tablets (JTT) in orally dosed rat plasma was developed. Plasma was treated by methanol precipitation prior to liquid chromatography, and the separation was carried out on a Symmetry C₁₈ column, with a linear gradient (0.1% formic acid/water/acetonitrile). Mass spectra were acquired in negative and positive ion modes, respectively. As a result, 26 bioactive components originated from JTT and 5 metabolites were tentatively identified in orally dosed rat plasma by comparing their retention times and MS spectra with those of authentic standards and literature data. It is concluded that an effective and reliable analytical method was set up for screening the bioactive components of Chinese herbal medicine, which provided a meaningful basis for further pharmacology and active mechanism research of JTT.

Systematization of the results of the chromatography–mass spectrometry identification of the products of quercetin oxidation by atmospheric oxygen in aqueous solutions

The coordination of the results of different works for the systematization of the structures of products previously detected in the complex samples is an important stage in the interpretation of the results of the identification of the components of complex samples of natural origin by chromatography–mass spectrometry with the low reproducibility of their mass spectra under the conditions of electrospray ionization and limited reference information. The data processing of this kind was carried out for the products of the oxidation of the most common natural flavonoid quercetin (3,5,7,3',4'-pentahydroxyflavone) by atmospheric oxygen in weakly alkaline aqueous alcohol solutions. For the correlation of peaks in chromatograms with the structures of oxidation products, their reversed-phase HPLC retention indices in the scale of reference n-alkyl phenyl ketones were determined for the first time. It was confirmed that not all of the oxidation products are stable in solution; some of them can accumulate or disappear during the storage of the samples.     

Enzymatic Preparation of Coniferaldehyde from Coniferyl Benzoate ex. Siam Benzoin

Siam benzoin is a natural resin that contains up to 65% of coniferyl benzoate. Treatment of this material with an esterase followed by an alcohol dehydrogenase in a one-pot procedure gave 1.5 g/L coniferaldehyde in 36% molar yield. Several lipases and esterases were tested, but only pig liver esterase gave significant results. Various alcohol oxidases and alcohol dehydrogenases were screened for their ability to oxidize coniferyl alcohol to coniferaldehyde. Horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase coupled with a cofactor regeneration system was the most efficient of the enzymes tested.
