基于吸收系数的生脉注射液中聚山梨酯80含量测定新方法

聚山梨酯80又名吐温80，为一种亲水型非离子表面活性剂，是食品、保健品和药品中常用的辅料，作为增溶剂和澄清剂广泛用于中药注射剂。近年来，不良反应的发生使得聚山梨酯80的质量和应用愈加受到重视，有研究认为其加入可能引起注射剂不良反应增加。为避免超量使用，有必要对该辅料的投料加以严格控制。中药注射剂中聚山梨酯80的含量测定是当下研究的热点和难点，可以通过分光光度法、分子排阻-蒸发光散射检测法(SEC-ELSD)、液质联用法(LC-MS)直接测定，也可以水解后法经液相色谱-紫外检测法(HPLC-UV)或气相色谱法(GC)间接测定。但由于聚山梨酯80为聚氧乙烯聚合数目不同的混合物、不同厂家生产的聚山梨酯80化学组分及比例存在较大差异，难以采用统一的转换公式或对照品准确定量。此外，中药注射剂的复杂基质造成的假阳性干扰也对定量提出了挑战。为解决以上问题，以生脉注射液为例，提出基于吸收系数的中药注射剂中聚山梨酯80含量测定新方法。优化检测波长、显色剂种类、液液萃取过程振荡和静置时间，在6个不同品牌仪器上测得聚山梨酯80-硫氰酸钴配合物的吸收系数(E1%_{1 cm})为104.23，相对标准偏差(RSD)为2.08%。生脉注射液稀释10倍后，精密量取供试品溶液1.0 mL，精密加入硫氰酸钴溶液10 mL，二氯甲烷20 mL，涡旋振荡3 min。将混合液移至分液漏斗中，静置30 min，取下层二氯甲烷液，将前1 mL弃去，接收约15 mL，在320 nm处测定吸光度，再根据Lambert-Beer定律，利用获得的吸收系数计算得到聚山梨酯80的含量。方法阴性无干扰，精密度和重复性相对标准偏差均低于3%，平均回收率为98.42%。为进一步验证方法的准确性，分别采用吸收系数法和标准曲线法测定了2个厂家的10批生脉注射液，并与实际投料量比较。配对t检验结果表明，当置信度为95%时，两种方法无显著性差异，吸收系数法测得结果与企业生产中聚山梨酯的实际投料量也无显著性差异。研究采用前人未采用的、灵敏度更高的320 nm为检测波长，显著降低了基质干扰，克服了中药注射剂中聚山梨酯80测定结果与实际投料量难以吻合的问题。吸收系数法无需使用对照品，亦不用制备标准曲线，可为中药注射剂中聚山梨酯80的检查标准提供切实可行的解决方案。所建方法灵敏、准确、快速、简便，为含聚山梨酯80制剂的质量控制提供了关键常数及新的思路。     

Carbon Paste Composite with Co3O4 as a New Electrochemical Sensor for the Detection of Allura Red by Reduction

The detection of Allura red (AR) by electrochemical reduction using a different electrode from the conventional mercury electrode is presented. A carbon paste with cobalt (II, III) oxide composite electrode (CoO_x/CPE) is reported for the first time for the detection of AR. Moreover, others dyes such as tartrazine (TZ), sunset yellow (SY), amaranth (AM), Ponceaut 4‐R (P‐4R), and Sudan (SD) as well as pharmaceutical agents such as paracetamol (PMC) that are present in samples that contained AR did not show a reduced signal between 0.0 and ?0.3 V, which is the potential range where AR reduction was observed. The surface electroactivity was studied using cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The presence of CoO_X increased the cathodic peak current for AR by more than 50 % and 65 % via CV and square wave voltammetry (SWV), respectively, compared with an unmodified carbon paste electrode. Under the optimal parameters, (pH=3.0, accumulation time (t_ACC)=60 s and accumulation potential (E_ACC)=0.50 V), the detection limit for AR was 0.05 μmol L^?1. The new sensor was sensitive and stable for the detection of AR. Moreover, it was easily manufactured and very convenient for food samples such as soft and isotonic drinks as well as chili sauce.     

Electrochemical sensing of H2O2 using cobalt oxide modified TiO2 nanotubes

Cobalt oxide (Co₃O₄) modified anatase titanium dioxide nanotubes (ATNTs) have been investigated for the electrochemical sensing of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). ATNTs have been synthesized by a two-step anodization process. ATNTs were then modified with Co₃O₄ employing chemical bath deposition method. The structure and morphology of ATNTs and their modification with Co₃O₄ has been confirmed by X-ray diffraction by scanning electron microscopy. H₂O₂ sensing has been studied in 0.1 M PBS solution, by cyclic voltammetry and amperometry. Variation in the peak positions and current densities was observed with addition of H₂O₂ for Co₃O₄ modified ATNTs. Sensitivity and limit of detection improved with modification of ATNTs with Co₃O₄ with precursor concentration up to 0.8 M. However, at higher precursor concentrations sensitivity and limit of detection toward H₂O₂ deteriorated. Co₃O₄ Modified ATNTS using 0.8 M precursor concentration are comparatively more suitable for H₂O₂ sensing applications due to the optimum formation of Co₃O₄/ATNTs heterojunctions.     

Determination of cobalt ion based on polyethyleneimine modified silver nanoclustersEI北大核心CSCD

PolyethyleneiminePEImodified silver nanoclustersAg NCswere synthesized through chemical reduction method by using PEI as stabilizerAgNO3 as silve source and ascorbic acid as reducing agentand it was applied to the detection of cobalt ions. It was found that the fluorescence of the silver nanoclusters was quenched by Co2+ for the aggregation of PEI-Ag NCs caused by the coordination between cobalt ion and amino group on polyethyleneimine. Under the optimized experimental conditionsthe fluorescence quenching degree of PEI-Ag NCs was piecewise linear with the concentration of cobalt ion in the range of 8.30×10-7-4.17×10-4 mol/L and the detection limit was 0.41 μµmol/L. © 2022, Youke Publishing Co.,Ltd.

Preparation of Ag3PO4/CoWO4 S-scheme heterojunction and study on sonocatalytic degradation of tetracycline

In this study, 0.6Ag₃PO₄/CoWO₄ composites were synthesized by hydrothermal method. The prepared materials were systematically characterized by techniques of scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), N₂ adsorption/desorption, and UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectrum (DRS). Furthermore, the sonocatalytic degradation performance of 0.6Ag₃PO₄/CoWO₄ composites towards tetracycline (TC) was investigated under ultrasonic radiation. The results showed that, combined with potassium persulfate (K₂S₂O₈), the 0.6Ag₃PO₄/CoWO₄ composites achieved a high sonocatalytic degradation efficiency of 97.89 % within 10 min, which was much better than bare Ag₃PO₄ or CoWO₄. By measuring the electrochemical properties, it was proposed that the degradation mechanism of 0.6Ag₃PO₄/CoWO₄ is the formation of S-scheme heterojunction, which increases the separation efficiency of electron-hole pairs (e^--h⁺) and generates more electrons and holes, thereby enhancing the degradation activity. The scavenger experiments confirmed that hole (h⁺) was the primary active substance in degrading TC, and free radicals (OH) and superoxide anion radical (O₂^–) were auxiliary active substances. The results indicated that 0.6Ag₃PO₄/CoWO₄ nanocomposites could be used as an efficient and reliable sonocatalyst for wastewater treatment.     

Electrochemical Detection of Artemisinin Using Cobalt Sulphide/Reduced Graphene Oxide Nanocomposite

Solvothermally synthesized cobalt sulphide/reduced graphene oxide (CoS/rGO) was used to fabricate an electrochemical sensor for detection of artemisinin. Microscopic techniques were used to characterize CoS/rGO nanocomposite. The electrochemical sensor was fabricated by modifying the surface of glassy carbon electrode with CoS/rGO nanocomposite. [Fe(CN)6]^3−/4− was used as a mediator to aid oxidation of artemisinin. Differential pulse voltammetric technique was used for the detection of artemisinin. A linear range of 30–100 μM was used. Experimentally, a detection limit of 0.5 μM was obtained. Therefore, the developed sensor can be used for quality control of artemisinin.     

Cobalt ferrite for direct cracking of methane to produce hydrogen and carbon nanostructure: Effect of temperature and methane flow rate

Cobalt ferrite (CoFe₂O₄) was used as a catalyst for direct methane cracking. The reaction was accomplished in a fixed bed reactor at normal atmospheric pressure, while gas flow rate (20–50 mL/min) and reaction temperature (800–900 °C) were varied. The fresh CoFe₂O₄ morphology is sponge-like particle with inverse spinel structure as revealed from SEM and XRD results. The methane conversions and hydrogen formation rate were increased with reaction temperature, while catalyst stability and induction period decreased. Increases of gas flow rate > 20 mL/min led to a decrease the overall catalytic activity of CoFe₂O₄ for methane cracking. The XRD results of spent catalysts revealed that CoFe alloy was the active phase of methane cracking. TGA analysis showed that the largest amount of deposited carbon was 70.46 % at (20 mL/min, 900 °C), where it was 34.40 % at (50 mL/min, 800 °C). The deposited carbon has the shape of spherical carbon nanostructures and/or nano sprouts as observed with SEM. Raman data confirmed the graphitization type of the deposited carbon.     

Site-Selective C−H Alkenylation of N-Heteroarenes by Ligand-Directed Co/Al and Co/Mg Cooperative Catalysis**

We report herein the design and development of Co/Al and Co/Mg bimetallic catalysts, supported by a phosphine/secondary phosphine oxide (PSPO) bifunctional ligand, for the site-selective C−H alkenylation of nitrogen-containing heteroarenes with alkynes. These catalysts enable the alkenylation of pyridine, pyridone, and imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivatives at the C−H site proximal to the Lewis basic nitrogen or oxygen atom, which represents a selectivity profile distinct from that of the previously developed cobalt-diphosphine/aluminum catalyst. The alkenylated products were obtained in moderate to good yields using various heterocycles and differently substituted internal alkynes. Kinetic isotope effect experiments suggest the irreversibility of the C−H activation step, the relevance of which to the rate-limiting step depends on the reaction conditions. Density functional theory calculations indicate that ligand-to-ligand hydrogen transfer is the common mechanism of C−H activation.     

Cobalt-Catalyzed Efficient Convergent Asymmetric Hydrogenation of E/Z-Enamides

Using the diphosphine-cobalt-zinc catalytic system, an efficient asymmetric hydrogenation of internal simple enamides has been realized. In particular, the Ph-BPE ligand can achieve convergent asymmetric hydrogenation of E/Z-substrates. High yields and excellent enantioselectivities were obtained for both acyclic and cyclic enamides bearing α-alkyl-β-aryl, α-aryl-β-aryl, and α-aryl-β-alkyl substituents. Hydrogenated products can be applied for the synthesis of useful chiral drugs such as Arfromoterol, Rotigotine, and Norsertraline. In addition, reasonable catalytic mechanism and stereocontrol mode are proposed based on DFT calculations.     

Cobalt(II)-Catalyzed C(sp3)−C(sp3) Coupling for the Direct Stereoselective Synthesis of 2-Deoxy-C-Glycosides from Glycals

We report a ligand-controlled Co^II-catalyzed C(sp³)−C(sp³) coupling hydroalkylation for direct and β-selective synthesis of 2-deoxy-C-glycosides from glycals. This reaction proceeds by a radical pathway for alkyl halide activation and is β-selective through ligand control. This approach may inspire the development of further stereoselective coupling reactions with potential application in the field of carbohydrates.
