Selective Determination of Quercetin Using Carbon Nanotube‐Modified Electrodes

Electrochemical detection of quercetin has been carried out on glassy carbon electrodes modified with carbon nanotubes and Nafion (GC/Nafion‐CNT). GC/Nafion‐CNT electrodes did not show passivation effect that occurs on the unmodified electrodes and displayed better stability and reproducibility. Quercetin oxidation was most favorable in acidic conditions and current gradually decreased as the solution pH increased. No oxidation was observed when two ? OH groups in a catechol moiety were fully deprotonated. These electrodes enabled selective determination of quercetin in the presence of interfering species such as ascorbic acid, uric acid, glucose, and catechol in large excess. Quantification of quercetin in a yellow onion has been made and favorably compared with reported values. Good selectivity and high sensitivity obtained by Osteryoung sSquare‐wave voltammetry can open new possibilities of direct quercetin determination in vegetables with a minimal sample treatment.

Electrochemical Oxidation of Quercetin

The mechanism of electrochemical oxidation of quercetin on a glassy carbon electrode has been studied using cyclic, differential pulse and square‐wave voltammetry at different pH. It proceeds in a cascade mechanism, related with the two catechol hydroxyl groups and the other three hydroxyl groups which all present electroactivity, and the oxidation is pH dependent. Quercetin also adsorbs strongly on the electrode surface; and the final oxidation product is not electroactive and blocks the electrode surface. The oxidation of the catechol 3′,4′‐dihydroxyl electron‐donating groups, occurs first, at very low positive potentials, and is a two electron two proton reversible reaction. The hydroxyl group oxidized next was shown to undergo an irreversible oxidation reaction, and this hydroxyl group can form a intermolecular hydrogen bond with the neighboring oxygen. The other two hydroxyl groups also have an electron donating effect and their oxidation is reversible.

Quercetin attenuates cisplatin-induced ovarian toxicity in rats: Emphasis on anti-oxidant,anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic activities

Ovarian toxicity is a devastating adverse effect of cisplatin therapy. The objective of the current study was to address whether or not quercetin could protect against cisplatin-induced ovarian toxicity in rats as well as the possible underlying mechanisms. Rats were allocated into five groups. Group 1 represented the control, group 2 was administered quercetin (10 mg/kg), group 3 received cisplatin (6 mg/kg single i.p. dose) on days 7 and 14, the forth group was given cisplatin + quercetin (5 mg/kg) and the fifth group was administered cisplatin + quercetin (10 mg/kg). Quercetin ameliorated cisplatin-induced histopathological changes in ovarian tissues and significantly prevented the decline in the percentage of healthy follicles and serum anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH). Quercetin exhibited significant anti-oxidant effects evidenced by preventing MDA accumulation, glutathione depletion and superoxide and glutathione peroxidase exhaustion in the ovary. Also, quercetin displayed activities against cisplatin-induced inflammatory responses in the ovary. Quercetin significantly inhibited expression of NFκb, Cox-2 and IL-6 and elevated ovarian content of TNF-α. Further, quercetin showed anti-apoptotic activity as demonstrated by decreased caspase-3 content and modulation of Bax and Bcl2 expression in the ovary. Conclusively, quercetin protects against cisplatin-induced ovarian toxicity in rats. This is mediated, at least partly, by its anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic activities.     

Simultaneous characterization and quantification of flavonoids in Euonymus alatus (Thunb.) Siebold from different origins by HPLC-PAD–MS

A high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with photodiode array detection and electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-PAD–ESI-MS) method has been developed for the simultaneous identification and quantification of active compounds (rutin and quercetin) contained in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Euonymus alatus (Thunb.) Siebold (EAS). The herb samples from ten main origins and five medicinal portions (leaf, fruit, stem, pterygium and root) were investigated. The separation was performed on a Shim C₁₈ column at 30 °C with an isocratic elution. Methanol (A) and water (0.5% methanoic acid, v/v) (B) were used as mobile phases. The recoveries of the two compounds were 100.184% and 100.417%, respectively, and all of them showed good linearity (r² ? 0.9993) in relatively wide concentration ranges. The developed method was applied to identify and quantify the two major active compounds in the collected herb samples, and the results indicated that contents of the two compounds in EAS varied significantly from habitat to habitat. It was demonstrated that the proposed method was helpful for the quality evaluation of EAS.     

Fe3O4@SiO2‐PANI‐Au Nanocomposite Prepared for Electrochemical Determination of Quercetin in Food Samples and Biological Fluids

A new electrochemical sensor based on Fe₃O₄@SiO₂‐PANI‐Au nanocomposite was fabricated for modification of glassy carbon electrode (Fe₃O₄@SiO₂‐PANI‐Au GCE). The Fe₃O₄@SiO₂‐PANI‐Au nanocomposite was characterized by TEM, FESEM‐EDS‐Mapping, XRD, and TGA methods. The Fe₃O₄@SiO₂‐PANI‐Au GC electrode exhibited an acceptable sensitivity, fast electrochemical response, and good selectivity for determination of quercetin. Under optimal conditions, the linear range for quercetin concentrations using this sensor was 1.0×10^?8 to 1.5×10^?5 mol L^?1, and the limit of detection was 3.8×10^?9 mol L^?1. The results illustrated that the offered sensor could be a possible alternative for the measurement of quercetin in food samples and biological fluids.
