Sensitivity enhancement of capillary electrophoresis-frontal analysis-based method for characterization of drug-protein interactions using on-line sample preconcentration

Capillary electrophoresis-frontal analysis is one of the most frequently used approaches for the study of plasma protein-drug interactions as a substantial part of new drug development. However, the capillary electrophoresis-frontal analysis typically combined with ultraviolet-visible detection suffers from insufficient concentration sensitivity, particularly for substances with limited solubility and low molar absorption coefficient. The sensitivity problem has been solved in this work by its combination with an on-line sample preconcentration. According to the knowledge of the authors this combination has never been used to characterize plasma protein-drug binding. It resulted in a fully automated and versatile methodology for the characterization of binding interactions. Further, the validated method minimalizes the experimental errors due to a reduction in the manipulation of samples. Moreover, employing an on-line preconcentration strategy with capillary electrophoresis-frontal analysis using human serum albumin-salicylic acid as a model system improves the drug concentration sensitivity 17-fold compared to the conventional method. The value of binding constant (1.51 ± 0.63) · 10⁴ L/mol obtained by this new capillary electrophoresis-frontal analysis modification is in agreement with the value (1.13 ± 0.28) ·10⁴ L/mol estimated by a conventional variant of capillary electrophoresis-frontal analysis without the preconcentration step, as well as with literature data obtained using different techniques.     

Comonotone approximation with interpolation at the ends on an interval

Let a function f ∈ C[-1, 1], changes its monotonisity at the finite collection Y := {y1,… ,ys} of s points yi ∈ (-1, 1). For each n ≥ N(Y), we construct an algebraic polynomial Pn, of degree ≤ n, which is comonotone with f, that is changes its monotonisity at the same points yi as f, and |f(x)-Pn(x)|≤c(s)ω2(f,(√1-x2)/n), x∈[-1,1],where N(Y) is a constant depending only on Y, c(s) is a constant depending only on s and ω2 (f, t) is the second modulus of smoothness of f.     

环烷酸对油水界面膜流变性质的影响研究

研究了环烷酸对油水界面膜界面张力、弹性模量、损耗模量以及界面膜破裂速率常数的影响,同时对环烷酸与沥青质之间的相互作用进行了测定。结果表明,环烷酸使得原油油水界面张力下降;弹性模量随着环烷酸加量以及振荡频率的增加都分别逐渐增大,并且最终都趋于平衡;在任何振荡频率值时,损耗模量都随着环烷酸加量先增大后减小;当环烷酸加量增加时,界面膜破裂速率常数降低。环烷酸与沥青质之间存在相互作用,随着环烷酸加量的增加,其对沥青质界面膜弹性模量的影响与对原油界面膜弹性模量的影响相似,表明环烷酸主要是通过与沥青质相互作用而促进乳状液稳定性的。

A Chemically Triggered and Thermally Switched Dielectric Constant Transition in a Metal Cyanide Based Crystal

A dielectric constant transition is chemically triggered and thermally switched in (HPy)₂[Na(H₂O)Co(CN)₆] ( 2 , HPy=pyridinium cation) by single‐crystal‐to‐single‐crystal transformation and structural phase transition, respectively. Upon dehydration, (HPy)₂[Na(H₂O)₂Co(CN)₆] ( 1 ) transforms to its semi‐hydrated form 2 , accompanying a transition from a low‐dielectric state to a high‐dielectric state, and vice versa. This dielectric switch is also realized by a structural phase transition in 2 that occurs between room‐ and low‐temperature phases, and which corresponds to high‐ and low‐dielectric states, respectively. The switching property is due to the variation in the environment surrounding the HPy cation, that is, the hydrogen‐bonding interactions and the crystal packing, which exert predominant influences on the dynamics of the cations that transit between the static and motional states.     

Anharmonic Effect of the Unimolecular Isomerization/Decomposition of Benzyne

The anharmonic and harmonic rate constants were calculated for the unimolecular decomposition of o‐benzyne, the isomerization of o‐benzyne to m‐benzyne, the isomerization of m‐benzyne to p‐benzyne and unimolecular decomposition of p‐benzyne by using the Rice–Ramsperger–Kassel–Marcus (RRKM) theory respectively, in the canonical and microcanonical systems. The geometry and the vibrational frequencies were calculated by MP2 and B3LYP methods with 6‐311G(d,p) basis set and the barrier energies were corrected using CBS‐QB3 theory. The anharmonic effect on the reactions was also examined. Comparison of results for the decompositions of benzyne indicate that both in microcanonical and canonical cases, the anharmonic effect on the decomposition of the o‐C₆H₄ and p‐C₆H₄ are significant, while the anharmonic effect on the two isomerizations are not pronounced.     

Thermodynamic studies on protonation constant of adenosine and guanosine at different temperatures and ionic strengths

Stepwise protonation constants of two purine nucleosides (adenosine and guanosine) were determined at different temperatures (293.15 to 308.15) and various ionic strengths (0.101 to 3.503 mol · kg⁻¹ NaClO₄) using a combination of potentiometric and spectrophotometric method. The thermodynamic parameters (i.e. enthalpy change, ΔH, and entropy change, ΔS) of the protonations were calculated at different temperatures using van’t Hoff and virial equations. The dependence of the protonation constant on ionic strength is modeled by a Debye–Hückel type equation and discussed. Finally, the protonation constants of the nucleosides and the enthalpy change of protonations were determined at zero ionic strength.
