Improvement of amine-modification with piperazine for the adsorption of CO2

Both selectivity and capacity of CO₂ adsorption were considerably increased when PZ (piperazine) was added in MDEA (methyldiethylamine) that used to modify the surface of silica gels. The adsorbent saturated with CO₂ was regenerated at ambient temperature through nitrogen purge. A set of PSA (pressure swing adsorption) operation with 200 cycles was carried out and applicability of the modified adsorbent was thus illustrated. The CO₂ content in the column-top stream decreased from 13% to below 0.05% at steady state.     

基于折线采样的高分辨率成像系统设计

针对现有的提高线阵电荷耦合器件(CCD)成像系统的图像空间分辨率的方法存在的不足,提出了一种新的采样模式,并设计了一种高分辨率成像系统。该系统利用两个相同的线阵CCD相机进行特定的空间排列,即使得相机1和相机2的CCD阵列都倾斜θ来进行扫描取像,并利用图像校正和像素插值等图像重建方法,得到高分辨率的图像。实验结果表明,倾斜角取60°的情况下,相对于单个线阵相机在θ=0°的正常采样模式下得到的采样图像,图像的空间分辨率提高了1倍,且保持了成像的视野不变。本系统工程上实现简单,十分经济且便于维护,仅利用现有的成像装置即可获取更高分辨率的图像。     

Synthesis of sterically hindered enamides via a Ti-mediated condensation of amides with aldehydes and ketones

The first TiCl(4)-mediated condensation of secondary amides with aldehydes and ketones has been achieved. The reaction proceeds at room temperature and is complete within 5 h in most cases. The optimized procedure used 5 equiv of an amine base hinting that the in situ activation of both the amide and the Lewis acid is required. The reaction affords polysubstituted (E)-enamides.     

Hybridization-triggered isothermal signal amplification coupled with MutS for label-free and sensitive fluorescent assay of SNPs

Combining the specific recognization of MutS protein for mismatched DNA sequences with the target-driven molecular switch that acts as both the template and primer of the polymerization reaction, a new label-free and sensitive fluorescent assay strategy for specific single-stranded DNA sequences or SNPs is proposed.     

Integrated rapid resolution liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometric approach for screening and identification of metabolites of the potential anticancer agent 3,6,7-trimethoxyphenanthroindolizidine in rat urine

An integrated approach combining data acquisition using MS^E and multi-period product ion scan (mpMS/MS), with high-resolution characteristic extracted ion chromatograms (hcXIC) as a data mining method, was developed for in vivo drug metabolites screening and identification. This approach is illustrated by analyzing metabolites of a potential anticancer agent, 3,6,7-trimethoxyphenanthroindolizidine (CAT) in rat urine based on rapid resolution liquid chromatography combined with tandem mass spectrometry (RRLC–MS/MS). Untargeted full-scan MS^E enabled the high-throughput acquisition of potential metabolites, and targeted mpMS/MS contributed to the sensitivity and specificity of the acquisition of molecules of interest. The data processing method hcXIC, based on the structure of CAT, was shown to be highly effective for the metabolite discovery. Through the double-filtering effect of the characteristic ion and accurate mass, conventional extracted ion chromatograms that contained a substantial number of false-positive peaks were simplified into chromatograms essentially free of endogenous interferences. As a result, 21 metabolites were detected in rat urine after oral administration of CAT. Based on the characteristic fragmentation patterns of the phenanthroindolizidine alkaloid, the structures of 9 metabolites were identified. Furthermore, the interpretation of the MS/MS spectra of these metabolites enabled the determination of demethylation position as well as the differentiation between N-oxidized and hydroxylated metabolites.     

A well-defined block copolymer serving as surfactants in separation of 1,4-dihydropyridines by open-tubular capillary eletrochromatography

A novel series of diblock copolymers, poly(butyl methacrylate)(n) -block-poly(glycidyl methacrylate)(m) [P(BMA)(n) -b-P(GMA)(m) ], were synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization and developed as covalent coating of capillaries. The excellent performance of this coating in separation of three 1,4-dihydropyridines (DHPs) derivatives (amlodipine, nicardipine, nitrendipine) was achieved when the diblock copolymers self-assembled into micelles, which was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, and atom force microscopy. Meanwhile, the effects of block ratio n/m, pH value, buffer concentration, and organic solvents on the separation of 1,4-DHPs were investigated in detail. Then, the relationship between the morphologies of copolymers and the separation resolutions of 1,4-DHPs was discussed. Furthermore, the proposed method exhibited good run-to-run and column-to-column precision with relative standard deviations of electroosmotic flow less than 3.0%. It was also validated with linearity of three 1,4-DHPs in the range of 0.01-1.80 mM (r(2) ≥ 99.7%), efficient recovery (94-103%), and good repeatability (≤ 3.8%). In addition, three 1,4-DHPs were successfully separated in the spiked human serum sample, which indicated the potential utility of this method in biological sample analysis.
