Positional and Quantitative Characterization of the Hydroxyethyl Groups in Hydroxyethyl Starch by GC/MS or NMR

Hydroxyethyl starches (HES) have been used medically as plasma volume expanders. They are composed of a starch backbone and substituted hydroxyethyl groups. The backbone is ?(1,4)-glycosidic-linked anhydroglucose units, which has branches formed by ?(1,6)-glycosidic bonds. Hydroxyethylation can take place at the C-2, C-3 and C-6 sites of the glucose rings, as well as at the hydroxyl groups of the substituted hydroxyethyl groups. Variation of the position and quantity of the substituted …     

Study on the Surface Photovoltage and Fluorescence Properties of N, N-Bis(4-aminopheny)-1, 4 quinonenediimine Doped with H_4SiW_(12)O_(40)

Polyaniline, especially its acid-dopping composite material, is a kind of important photoelectric material due to its potential application in many fields1~3. However, it seems to be a problem that the polymers exhibit several deficiencies, including chemical and structural imperfections as a result of mislinkage, saturated sites, molecular weight distribution, the presence of the end groups and conformation defects. All of these defects affect the device efficiency and make it difficult to …

Fabrication and characterization of multidimensional tungsten oxide networks

Approaches for preparation of porous oxides with different length scales are currently available[1?3]. Materials with hierarchical pore systems at two or three different length scales have also been prepared[4?7]. Such materials are important both for the…     

Carbon Fiber-gold/mercury Dual-electrode Detection for Capillary Electrophoresis

Capillary electrophoresis (CE) has become a useful and powerful separation technique and has many applications. Electrochemical detection (ED) has been shown to be one of the most sensitive detection techniques available for use in CE. Dual-electrode detection can expand the applicability of CE-ED1-5, the materials such as gold/mercury1,3, carbon fiber2, Pt4 and Au3,5 have been used for the two electrodes in dual-electrodes. As is well known, the electrochemical response of different c…     

Novel Reaction of Nitroxide with Hantzsch Dihydropyridines

Nitroxides have been found to be the intermediate in the in vivo metabolism of hydroxamic acid, a well-known biological molecule1. Structural modification of some antitumor drugs by introducing nitroxides can lower toxicity remarkably with retention or even increase of the antitumor activity2. Furthermore, the use of nitroxides as spin probes makes it possible to get information regarding the microenvironment of the reaction. 4-Substituted Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridines (DHP) are analogs …     

Simultaneous Determination of Gold and Platinum by Double Artificial Neural Network Analysis with Flow-injection Chemiluminescence

Chemiluminescence (CL) is well known to be an important and powerful analytical technique owing to its lower detection limits, higher sensitivity and wider linear ranges can be achieved with simpler instrument1. CL analysis has been used for determination…     

Determination of Amino Acids in Single Human Lymphocytes after On-capillary Derivatization by Capillary Zone Electrophoresis with Electrochemical Detection

Sensitive and selective methods for the detection of amino acids (AAs) in single cells are of increasing importance. Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) with electrochemical detection (ED) is suitable for analysis of electroactive contents in single cells. However, most native AAs have no electroactivity. Derivatization with an electroactive tag is an attractive method. An on-capillary derivatization scheme was reported1. Naphtha- lene-2, 3-dicarboxaldehyde (NDA) can react with pri…     

First Total Synthesis of an Analogue of (±)-Hypargenin B

Hypargenin B, a diterpene with the abietane skeleton, was isolated by Ayhan from the root of an endemic species salvia hypargenia and showed antibacterial activity1. In this diterpene, the junction of A/B ring is trans. In order to provide for studying further the relationship between the structure and bioactivities, we develop a novel route whereby the hypargenin B methyl ether 22 could be obtained in good yield. To our knowledge no total synthetic work has been reported on the title com…     

Study on the Interaction between Distamycin Analogs and DNA from Herring Sperm by Fluorimetry

Distamycin is a naturally occurring antibiotic which binds to the AT rich regions in minor groove of DNA1. We have reported the interaction between the analogs and calf thymus DNA by circular dichroism spectropolarimetry (CD) and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC)2. Due to the greater sensitivity of fluorescence-based techniques in comparison with CD, we employ the fluorimety to explore the interaction between four new distamycin analogs and DNA from herring sperm. O2NNNOHNNO…
