Sample preparation for organic acids in biological fluids

A review of sample preparation methods for organic acids in biological fluids, in particular serum and urine, is presented. It covers techniques on organic acid determination without sample preparation, release of organic acids from binding locations, removal of proteins by protein precipitation and ultrafiltration, isolation of the organic acids by liquid-liquid and liquid-solid extraction, purification of the extract, derivatization and pre-fractionation. The various alternative sample preparation steps are compared and critically discussed. Examples of applications including profile analysis of organic acids by gas chromatography (GC), determination of particular organic acids by GC or liquid chromatography and determination of fatty acids as a distinct chemical class of acids demonstrate that the kind of sample preparation chosen depends strongly on the analytical aims.     

EHMO和模式识别法研究芬太尼衍生物的构效关系

自Hansch等创立QSAR法以来,药物构效关系的研究已获得较大的进展。本文将模式识别法用于芬太尼衍生物构效关系的研究,将该类药物的分子结构看作与生物活性具有对应关系的表现形式——模式,以药物分子结构中有关取代基的多个量子化学参数为数量化的模式向量成分。将已知生物活性的药物作为模式识别训练点,则所得模式识别分类图反映了该类药物的生物活性与其量子化学结构特征参数间的统计学意义的关系。它既可用来探寻高效药物的结构参数,又能预测新设计药物生物活性的等级或类别。     

Activity coefficients of electrolytes from the E.M.F. of liquid membrane cells. II - multicharged electrolyte solutions

The activity coefficients of Co(en)₃Cl₃ and K₂SO₄ were measured by means of a cell with ion-exchange liquid membranes following the method described in paper I. The results prove that this method is even more valuable with multicharged salts than with 1-1 electrolytes. The values obtained are precise and reliable down to dilution limits never before accessible, e.g., 4×10^–5 mol-kg^–1 in Co(en)₃Cl₃. High dilution levels are of particular importance when dealing with highly charged electrolytes since the trend at higher concentrations often leads to errors both in extrapolation to infinite dilution and in the absolute activity coefficients. As an application, the activity coefficients of [Co(en)₃]₂(SO₄)₃-suspected to be wrongly evaluated in past literature-were measured, and their values at low concentrations were actually lower than those quoted before.     

剪切历史对尼龙熔体结晶行为的影响

采用差示扫描量热法研究了原始聚酰胺材料在经历不同的预剪切过程或应用不同设备进行剪切后其结晶行为的变化,结果表明,原始样品经过预剪切后,结晶温度升高5～10℃,半结晶时间降低到原始样品的一半.当聚酰胺材料经历很低的剪切时其结晶温度就有很大的提高,进一步提高剪切强度,结晶温度的增加趋势变缓.偏光显微镜观察表明有剪切历史的样品,球晶尺寸减小.作为对此,聚烯烃和聚酯材料的结晶对剪切历史不敏感,剪切与非剪切样品的结晶行为基本相同,据此推测聚酰胺分子间氢键可能是这种剪切记忆效应产生的原因.

Substoichiometric isotope dilution determination of manganese in biological smples using 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone in isobutyl methyl ketone

A substoichiometric isotope dilution method was developed for the determination of microgram amounts of manganese. The method involves the use of carrier-free ⁵⁴Mn with Mn(II) carrier and its complexation with 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone (TTA) at pH 8.5, the complex then being extracted into isobutyl methyl ketone. A minimum of 50 ng of manganese can be determined. The method was applied to the determination of manganese in several standard reference materials and biological samples such as tea leaves, spices and condiments. The method is simple and fast and yields results with high accuracy and precision.     

Thermodynamics of mixed electrolyte solutions. XI. An isopiestic study of the quaternary system NaCl−KCl−CaCl2−H2O at 25°C

Osmotic and activity coefficients in the aqueous quaternary system sodium chloride-potassium chloride-calcium chloride were derived from isopiestic measurements at 25°C. The isopiestic data were treated by the various procedures of Scatchard, Friedman, and Reilly, Wood, and Robinson. The results obtained showed good agreement with those obtained by pseudo-ternary transforms. Interaction parameters obtained indicated the preponderance of pairwise interactions. Excess Gibbs free energies of mixing were calculated.

Multicommuted flow-through fluorescence optosensor for determination of furosemide and triamterene

Multicommutation implemented with flow-through optosensors is a very promising area of research. This recent approach benefits from the advantages of both methods and results in high sensitivity, selectivity, and speed, and little waste generation. This paper reports the simultaneous determination of furosemide and triamterene, two widely used diuretics, by measurement of their native fluorescence. The system has been proved to be useful for determination of both analytes in pharmaceutical preparations and for determination of triamterene in human urine and serum. A minicolumn filled with Sephadex SPC-25 microbeads was used to achieve separation of both analytes before detection in a flow-through cell filled with the same resin. The sensor is linear in the range 50–1200 and 0.4–8 ng mL⁻¹ with detection limits of 15 and 0.1 ng mL⁻¹ for furosemide and triamterene, respectively.     

Osmotic and activity coefficients at 25°C for tetraalkylammonium bromides in deuterium oxide

Earlier work by Lindenbaum and Boyd has demonstrated the important role of hydrophobic interactions involving the water solvent in determining the osmotic coefficients and properties of aqueous solutions of the tetraalkylammonium halides. Osmotic coefficients of solutions of tetramethyl-, tetraethyl-, tetrapropyl-, and tetrabutylammonium bromides in the more highly structured solvent D₂O have now been determined by the gravimetric isopiestic method, using reference solutions of NaCl in D₂O. The data were fitted to the Rush-Johnson and Pitzer equations. Satisfactory agreement with the results for aqueous solutions at comparable concentrations indicates that the solution chemistry of these quaternary ammonium bromides is not highly dependent on the degree of structure of the pure solvents. Supplementary data for mixtures of Me₄NBr with Et₄NBr, Pr₄NBr, or Bu₄NBr in both H₂O and D₂O are consistent with this conclusion.On leave 1980–82 from Banaras Hindu University, India
