Recent developments in capillary and microchip electroseparations of peptides (2017–mid 2019)

The review presents a comprehensive survey of recent developments and applications of high performance capillary and microchip electroseparation methods (zone electrophoresis, isotachophoresis, isoelectric focusing, affinity electrophoresis, electrokinetic chromatography, and electrochromatography) for analysis, micropreparation, and physicochemical and biochemical characterization of peptides since 2017 up to about the middle of 2019. Progress in the study of electromigration properties of peptides and in the methodology of their analysis (sample preseparation, preconcentration and derivatization, adsorption suppression, EOF control, and detection) are described. Advances in CE and CEC methods are demonstrated and their applications in the following areas are presented: qualitative and quantitative analysis, determination in complex (bio)matrices, monitoring of chemical and enzymatical reactions and physical changes, amino acid, sequence and chiral analysis, and peptide mapping of proteins. In addition, micropreparative separations and determinations of important physicochemical characteristics of peptides by CE and CEC methods are reported.     

Epimerization and racemization of some chiral drugs in the presence of cyclodextrin and liposomes

The effects of alpha-, beta-, gamma- and dimethyl-beta-cyclodextrins (alpha-, beta-, gamma- and DM-beta-CyDs) and liposomes on epimerization or racemization of etoposide, ethiazide and carbenicillin were examined kinetically. alpha- and beta-CyDs accelerated both epimerization and hydrolysis of carbenicillin. They had no effect on epimerization of etoposide, and did not affect racemization and hydrolysis of ethiazide. DM-beta-CyD retarded epimerization of etoposide, hydrolysis of picroetoposide (which is an epimer of etoposide), and racemization and hydrolysis of ethiazide, but had no effect on epimerization and hydrolysis of carbenicillin. gamma-CyD retarded epimerization of etoposide and hydrolysis of picroetoposide. On the other hand, gamma-CyD accelerated epimerization of carbenicillin. It is suggested that the formation of inclusion complexes between CyDs and etoposide, picroetoposide and ethiazide inhibited the attack of bases such as OH- and buffer components, thereby retarding epimerization, racemization and hydrolysis. On the other hand, alpha-, beta- and gamma-CyDs increased the reactivity of carbenicillin through the OH group, accelerating its epimerization and hydrolysis. Liposomes retarded epimerization of etoposide, hydrolysis of picroetoposide and racemization of ethiazide. Liposomes did not affect epimerization and hydrolysis of carbenicillin. These differences in the effect of liposomes on reactivity may be interpreted in terms of the solubility of the drugs.     

Polymer-surfactant and protein-surfactant interactions

The phase behavior and some physicochemical properties of homopolymers (HP) and hydrophobically modified (HMP) polymers, as well as of polyelectrolytes (PE) and proteins (PR), in the presence of aqueous surfactants, or their mixtures, are discussed. Mixing the above components gives rise to the formation of organized phases, whose properties are controlled by polymer and/or surfactant content, temperature, pH, and ionic strength. Depending on the nature, concentration, and net charge of both solutes, molecular solutions, polymer-surfactant complexes, adsorption onto micelles and vesicles, gels, liquid crystalline phases, and precipitates are observed. Such rich polymorphic behavior is the result of a complex balance between electrostatic, excluded volume, van der Waals, and other contributions to overall system stability. It is also modulated by the molecular details and architecture of both the polymer and the surfactant. Different experimental methods allow investigation of the above systems and getting information on the nature of polymer-surfactant interactions (PSI). Surface adsorption and thermodynamic methods, together with investigation of the phase diagrams, give information on the forces controlling PSI and on the existence of different phases. Conductivity, QELS and viscosity allow estimating the size and shape of polymer-surfactant (protein-surfactant) complexes. Optical microscopy, cryo-TEM, AFM, NMR, fluorescence, and relaxation methods give more information on the above systems. Use of the above mixtures in controlling gelation, surface covering, preparing dielectric layers, and drug release is suggested.

Overall connectivities/topological complexities: a new powerful tool for QSPR/QSAR

Earlier attempts to assess the complexity of molecules are analyzed and summarized in a number of definitions of general and topological complexity. A concept which specifies topological complexity as overall connectivity, and generalizes the idea of molecular connectivities of Randic, Kier, and Hall, is presented. Two overall connectivity indices, TC and TC1, are defined as the connectivity (the sum of the vertex degrees) of all connected subgraphs in the molecular graph. The contributions to TC and TC1, which originate from all subgraphs having the same number of edges e, form two sets of eth-order overall connectivities, eTC and eTC1. The total number of subgraphs K is also analyzed as a complexity measure, and the vector of its eth-order components, eK, is examined as well. The TC, TC1, and K indices match very well the increase in molecular complexity with the increase in the number of atoms and, at a constant number of atoms, with the increased degree of branching and cyclicity of the molecular skeleton, as well as with the multiplicity of bonds and the presence of heteroatoms. The potential of the three sets of eth-order complexities for applications to QSPR was tested by the modeling of 10 alkane properties (boiling point, critical temperature, critical pressure, critical volume, molar volume, molecular refraction, heat of formation, heat of vaporization, heat of atomization, and surface tension), in parallel with Kier and Hall's molecular connectivity indices (k)chi. The topological complexity indices were shown to outperform molecular connectivity indices in 44 out of the 50 pairs of models compared, including all models with four and five parameters.     

Determination of carbohydrates and sweeteners in foods and biologically active additives by high-performance liquid chromatography

A method for the determination of large amounts of carbohydrates (glucose, lactose, maltose, mannose, sucrose, and fructose) and sweeteners (xylitol and sorbitol) by reversed-phase liquid chromatography with refractive index detection without derivatization has been developed. The limits of determination for glucose, fructose, and sucrose in liquid samples were 0.1 g/L, and for xylite, lactose, maltose, mannose, and sorbite, 1 g/L. In solid samples the limits of determination for glucose, fructose, and sucrose were 0.1%, and for xylite, lactose, maltose, mannose, and sorbite, 0.6%. The method is applicable to the analysis of samples of wine, juice, honey, cookies, dairy products, and biologically active additives. The developed method for the determination of carbohydrates and sweeteners in foods and biologically active additives was certified in the Mendeleev Institute for Metrology (St. Petersburg).     

Recent developments in CE and CEC of peptides (2009-2011)

The review brings a comprehensive survey of the recent developments of high-performance electroseparation methods in capillary and microchip formats: zone electrophoresis, isotachophoresis, isoelectric focusing, affinity electrophoresis, electrokinetic chromatography and electrochromatography. Applications of these techniques to analysis, isolation, purification and physicochemical and biochemical characterization of peptides are described. Advances in the investigation of electromigration properties of peptides, and in the methodology of their analysis, such as sample preparation, adsorption suppression, EOF control and detection, are presented. New developments, in particular, CE and CEC modes are reported and several types of their applications to peptide analysis are described: conventional qualitative and quantitative analysis, determination in complex (bio)matrices, monitoring of chemical and enzymatical reactions and physical changes, amino acid, sequence and chiral analysis, and peptide mapping of proteins. Some micropreparative peptide separations are shown and capabilities of CE and CEC techniques to provide relevant physicochemical characteristics of peptides are demonstrated.     

Determination of heavy metals and their speciation in waters and bottom sediments of water reservoirs using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry and electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry

The use of inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry in combination with electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry and autoclave sample preparation essentially improved performance characteristics of the determination of heavy metals and simplified analytical procedures for determining their speciation. Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry can give information about the concentrations of a wide range of elements in water and bottom deposits at a level of MPC and, thus, is useful for revealing sources of pollution of water reservoirs. More sensitive electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry was used for determining background concentrations of Pb, Cd, Co, Ni, Cu, Cr, Mo, and As and assessing the speciation of Pb, Cd, Co, Cu, and Zn in waters and bottom sediments. Based on the results of analyses of surface, bottom, and void waters; bottom sediments and their step-by-step extracts; and KMC and DEAE cellulose adsorbents containing charge-separated heavy metals, the ecological status of Kuibyshev, Ivan’kovo, and Rybinsk water reservoirs was assessed.     

Stress-induced increase in the amounts of maysin and maysin derivatives in world premium natural compounds from centipedegrass

The red leaves of centipedegrass are known to produce compounds with stronger antibiotic effects than those produced by green leaves. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify if stress methods (e.g., gamma irradiation, UV-B irradiation, and wounding) could effectively convert green leaves to red leaves, and thereby increase the production of maysin and maysin derivatives that have been known for antibiotic properties. Our results showed differential concentration changes for different compounds using these stress methods. The concentrations of luteolin increased from 0.014% to 0.019%, 0.022%, and 0.028% following gamma irradiation, UV-B irradiation, and wounding, respectively. The concentration of isoorientin increased from 0.898% to 1.938% and 2.538%, while the concentration of mixed rhamnosylisoorientin and orientin increased from 0.303% to 0.474% and 0.690%, following UV-B irradiation and wounding, respectively. Gamma irradiation produced concentrations of isoorientin, rhamnosylisoorientin, and orientin similar to those found in red leaves. The concentrations of derhamnosylmaysin increased from 0.004% to 0.009%, 0.015%, and 0.024% by gamma irradiation, UV-B irradiation, and wounding, respectively. The concentration of maysin increased from 0.515% to 0.714%, 0.583%, and 0.777% by gamma irradiation, UV-B irradiation, and wounding, respectively, while the concentration of luteolin-6-C-boivinopyranoside increased from 0.324% to 0.834%, 0.979%, and 1.493% by gamma irradiation, UV-B irradiation, and wounding, respectively. According to these results, wounding and gamma irradiation are promising methods for increasing the concentrations of maysin and maysin derivatives.

TSDC spectroscopy of relaxational and interfacial phenomena

Applications of thermally stimulated depolarisation current (TSDC) technique to a variety of systems with different dispersion phases such as disperse and porous metal oxides, polymers, liquid crystals, amorphous and crystalline solids, composites, solid solutions, biomacromolecules, cells, tissues, etc. in gaseous or liquid dispersion media are analysed. The effects of dipolar, direct current (dc) and space charge relaxations are linked to the temperature dependent mobility of molecules, their fragments, protons, anions, and electrons and depend on thermal treatment, temperature and field intensity of polarisation, heating rate on depolarisation or cooling rate on polarisation. Features of the relaxation mechanisms are affected not only by the mentioned factors but also by morphological, structural and chemical characteristics of materials. The interfacial phenomena, especially the role of interfacial water, received significant attention on analysis of the TSDC data. Comparison of the data of TSDC and dielectric relaxation spectroscopy (DRS), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), 1H NMR spectroscopy with layer-by-layer freezing-out of bulk and interfacial water, adsorption/desorption of nitrogen, water and dissolved organics demonstrates high sensitivity and information content of the TSDC technique, allowing a deeper understanding of interfacial phenomena.     

Atmospheric aerosols: composition, transformation, climate and health effects

Aerosols are of central importance for atmospheric chemistry and physics, the biosphere, climate, and public health. The airborne solid and liquid particles in the nanometer to micrometer size range influence the energy balance of the Earth, the hydrological cycle, atmospheric circulation, and the abundance of greenhouse and reactive trace gases. Moreover, they play important roles in the reproduction of biological organisms and can cause or enhance diseases. The primary parameters that determine the environmental and health effects of aerosol particles are their concentration, size, structure, and chemical composition. These parameters, however, are spatially and temporally highly variable. The quantification and identification of biological particles and carbonaceous components of fine particulate matter in the air (organic compounds and black or elemental carbon, respectively) represent demanding analytical challenges. This Review outlines the current state of knowledge, major open questions, and research perspectives on the properties and interactions of atmospheric aerosols and their effects on climate and human health.
