Aggregate, Polymer and Cluster Formation from Metal-Imino Carboxylate Complexes

Reaction of tris-(2-aminoethyl)amine (tren) andthe sodium salt of an -ketocarboxylic acid, typically sodium pyruvate, affordsin the presence of a lanthanide ion aseries of complexes and aggregates includingmononuclear, cyclic tetranuclear and polymerspecies of [L¹]^3- ([L¹]^3-=N[CH₂CH₂N=C(CH₃)COO^-]³).The aggregation of these and related d-block elementcomplexes with Na⁺ ions leadsto the formation of polymeric materials, and thefactors influencing the formation and controlof these various aggregation states are discussed.Metal cations also template the aggregationof the fragment [Ni(L²)] ([L²]^2- =CH₂[CH₂N = C(CH₃)COO^-]₂)to give, in high yield, the polynuclearaggregates {[Ni(L²)]₆M}^x+(M = Nd, Pr, Ce, La, x = 3; M = Sr, Ba, x = 2). The structures of{[Ni(L²)]₆M}^x+ show aninterstitial twelve co-ordinate, icosahedralcation M^x+ encapsulated by six [Ni(L²)]fragments. In the presence ofNa⁺, aggregation of [Ni(L²)] fragments affords {[Ni(L²)]₉Na₄(H₂O)(MeOH)(ClO₄)}³⁺ thestructure of whichshows four Na⁺ ions templating the formation ofa distorted tricapped trigonal prismatic[Ni(L²)]₉ cage. Thus, control overconstruction of various polynuclear cages viaself-assembly at octahedral junctions can beachieved using main group, transition metaland lanthanide ion templates.     

ESR studies of γ-irradiated histone octamer and the histone H3

ESR spectrum of neat histone H3 γ-irradiated and observed at 77 K with low microwave power and modulation amplitude showed multiple resolved structure depicting nonequivalent interaction of the unpaired electron located at amido-carbonyl radical anion [– )NH–] of the peptide backbone with adjacent –NH– group and the β-proton of –CH group. The predominance of amido-carbonyl radical anion is in good accord with the expected partition of secondary electrons amongst the various electrophilic groups including peptide carbonyl and aromatic acid residues. Following a gradual rise of annealing temperature to room temperature, a double splitting spectrum from the well known -carbon amido radical was evolved.

Development and validation of a liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry procedure for the quantification of adefovir in human plasma

To investigate the pharmacokinetics of adefovir as an anti-hepatitis B virus drug, a sensitive and specific liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry method was developed and validated. After a simple protein precipitation using methanol, the post-treatment samples were analyzed on a C(18) column interfaced with a triple-quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer using positive electrospray ionization. A structural analogue, PMPA, was used as the internal standard. The method was linear in the concentration range 0.25-100 ng/mL. The lower limit of quantification was 0.25 ng/mL. The intra- and inter-day relative standard deviation over the entire concentration range was 5.7% or less. The accuracy determined at three concentrations (0.75, 10 and 80 ng/mL for adefovir) was within +/-2.5% relative error. The method described here was successfully applied for the evaluation of pharmacokinetic profiles of adefovir after single oral administration doses of 5, 10 and 20 mg adefovir dipivoxil to ten healthy volunteers.     

Biosorption of copper(II) and zinc(II) from aqueous solution by Pseudomonas putida CZ1

To study Pseudomonas putida CZ1, having high tolerance to copper and zinc on the removal of toxic metals from aqueous solutions, the biosorption of Cu(II) and Zn(II) by living and nonliving P. putida CZ1 were studied as functions of reaction time, initial pH of the solution and metal concentration. It was found that the optimum pH for Zn(II) removal by living and nonliving cells was 5.0, while it was 5.0 and 4.5, respectively, for Cu(II) removal. At the optimal conditions, metal ion biosorption was increased as the initial metal concentration increased. The adsorption data with respect to both metals provide an excellent fit to the Langmuir isotherm. The binding capacity of living cells is significantly higher than that of nonliving cells at tested conditions. It demonstrated that about 40-50% of the metals were actively taken up by P. putida CZ1, with the remainder being passively bound to the bacterium. Moreover, desorption efficiency of Cu(II) and Zn(II) by living cells was 72.5 and 45.6% under 0.1M HCl and it was 95.3 and 83.8% by nonliving cells, respectively. It may be due to Cu(II) and Zn(II) uptake by the living cells enhanced by intracellular accumulation.

Single‐Crystalline and Near‐Monodispersed NaMF3 (M=Mn,Co, Ni,Mg) and LiMAlF6 (M=Ca,Sr) Nanocrystals from Cothermolysis of Multiple Trifluoroacetates in Solution

We report the synthesis of single‐crystalline and near‐monodispersed NaMF₃ (M=Mn, Co, Ni, Mg), LiMAlF₆ (M=Ca, Sr), and NaMgF₃:Yb,Er nanocrystals (quasisquare nanoplates, nanorods, and nanopolygons) by the cothermolysis of multiple trifluoroacetates in hot combined organic solvents (oleic acid, oleylamine, and 1‐octadecene). The nanocrystals were characterized by XRD, TEM, superconductive quantum interference device (SQUID), and upconversion luminescence spectroscopy. By regulating the polarity of the dispersant, the NaMF₃ (M=Mn, Co, Ni) nanoplates were partially aligned to form nanoarrays on copper TEM grids. The sizes of the NaMF₃ nanocrystals were easily tuned by the use of proper synthetic conditions such as reaction temperature and time and solvent composition. On the basis of a series of experiments in which the reaction conditions were varied, together with GC–MS and FTIR analysis, the reaction pathways for the formation of these nanocrystals from trifluoroacetate precursors were proposed. The magnetic measurements showed that the differently sized NaMnF₃ square plates displayed interesting weak ferromagnetic behavior on the nanometer scale. The strong red upconversion luminescence emitted from the NaMgF₃:Yb,Er nanorods under 980‐nm near‐IR laser excitation suggests that NaMgF₃ may be a good candidate host material for red upconversion luminescence.     

Determination of Levofloxacin in Human Urine with Capillary Electrophoresis and Fluorescence Detector

In this study, we developed an analytical method for the enantioseparation of ofloxacin, using capillary electrophoresis with fluorescence detection. The optimum background electrolyte was obtained to be 60 mM hydroxylpropyl‐β‐cyclodextrin (HP‐β‐CD) in 50 mM phosphate buffer at pH 2.30. Under these conditions, the (+) and (‐) ofloxacin were completely separated, with the detection limit of 10 nM when the sample was prepared in deionized water. The linear ranges of levofloxacin in deionized water and untreated urine were 10^?7 to 5 × 10^?3 M with R² = 0.9989 and 5 × 10^?6to 5 × 10^?3 M with R² = 0.9943, respectively. We also applied this method to investigate the purity of a commercial drug. The results revealed that the ratio between (+)‐ofloxacin and (‐)‐ofloxacin (levofloxacin) was 99.9:0.1, and there is about 93 mg levofloxacin per tablet (200 mg). The concentration of levofloxacin in patient's urine was founded to be 7.9 × 10^?4M, and the ratio between the two optical isomers was 99.3:0.7.     

基于聚合物点的电致化学发光生物传感器用于葡萄糖检测

羧基功能化的聚[(9,9-二辛基芴基-2,7-二基)-co-(1,4-苯并-{2,1′,3}-噻二唑)]聚合物点(PFBT-COOH)在无外加共反应试剂的条件下具有高的电致化学发光(ECL)信号,且过氧化氢(H_2O_2)对其ECL具有高效猝灭作用。采用PFBT-COOH修饰玻碳电极,进一步交联葡萄糖氧化酶(GOD)以构建酶传感器(GOD/PFBT-COOH/GCE)。随着检测底液中葡萄糖浓度的增加,葡萄糖在GOD催化下原位产生的H_2O_2量增加,导致传感器的ECL信号逐渐减弱,从而实现葡萄糖的准确、快速、灵敏检测。此方法测得葡萄糖的线性范围为1.0×10~(-7)～3.0×10~(-3) mol/L,检出限为3.0×10~(-8) mol/L。血清样品中葡萄糖的加标回收率为98.5%～106%。该策略为酶传感器的构建提供了新思路,为葡萄糖的检测提供了新方法。
