Interaction between isopoly-tungstic acid and berberine hydrochloride by resonance Rayleigh scattering spectrum.

In a weak acid medium, when an isopoly-tungstic acid reacts with berberine to form an ion-association complex, strong resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) appears and obvious frequency-doubling scattering (FDS) as well as second-order scattering (SOS) come into being. The scattering peaks are located at 288 and 369 nm for RRS, at 290, 370 and 390 nm for FDS, and at 480, 540 and 740 nm for SOS. Under optimum conditions, all three scattering intensities are directly proportional to the concentration of berberine and can be applied to the determination of berberine. The sensitivity of the RRS method is the highest; the detection limit (3sigma) for berberine hydrochloride is 7.6 ng/ml. The method also has good selectivity. It has been applied to the determination of berberine in pharmaceuticals and goldthread extracts with satisfactory results. In the paper, studies of the existing species of isopoly-acid and the component of the ion-association complex are reported and the reasons of enhancement of RRS are discussed.     

Interaction of polymyxin B with ds-DNA, and determination of DNA or polymyxin B via resonance Rayleigh scattering and resonance non-linear scattering spectra

Assays were developed for DNA or polymyxin B (PMB) based on enhanced resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) and resonance nonlinear scattering (including second order scattering and frequency doubling scattering) that result from the interaction of PMB with DNA. A minor-groove binding mechanism is suggested from the results obtained with RRS and from absorption and circular dichroism spectroscopy. The types of interaction and reasons of RRS enhancement are discussed. Linear relationships do exist over a wide range between the intensity of enhanced scattering and the concentrations of either DNA or PMB. When ctDNA is used as a probe to determine PMB, the detection limit (3σ) is 9.8 ng mL^?1. When PMB is used as a probe to determine DNA, the detection limit (3σ) is in the range from 3.8 to 9.0 ng mL^?1.

Resonance light scattering spectroscopy study of interaction between norfloxacin and calf thymus DNA and its analytical application

The interaction between norfloxacin and calf thymus double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) has been studied by a resonance light scattering (RLS) technique with a common spectrofluorometer. The characteristics of RLS spectra, the effective factors and optimum conditions of the reaction have been investigated. In Britton-Robinson (BR) buffer (pH 5.87), norfloxacin has a maximum peak 405.5 nm and the RLS intensity is remarkably enhanced by trace amount of calf thymus dsDNA due to the interaction between norfloxacin and dsDNA. The binding of norfloxacin to DNA forms large particles, which were characterized by RLS spectrum, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectrum, and fluorescence spectrum. Based on the enhanced RLS intensity, a novel method for sensitive determination of calf thymus dsDNA concentration ranging from 0.02 to 2.3 microg ml(-1) was developed. The determination limit (3 sigma) was 1.2 ng ml(-1). The method is simple, rapid, practical and relatively free from interference generated by coexisting substance, as well as much more sensitive than most of the reported methods. Three synthetic samples of ctDNA were determined with satisfactory results.     

Spectroscopic studies of the interaction between pirimicarb and calf thymus DNA

The interaction between pirimicarb and calf thymus DNA in physiological buffer (pH 7.4) was investigated with the use of Neutral Red (NR) dye as a spectral probe by UV-vis absorption, fluorescence and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, as well as viscosity measurements and DNA melting techniques. The results revealed that an intercalation binding should be the interaction mode of pirimicarb to DNA. CD spectra indicated that pirimicarb induced conformational changes of DNA. The binding constants of pirimicarb with DNA were obtained by the fluorescence quenching method. The thermodynamic parameters, enthalpy change (ΔHθ) and entropy change (ΔSθ) were calculated to be -52.13±2.04 kJ mol(-1) and -108.8±6.72 J mol(-1) K(-1) according to the van't Hoff equation, which suggested that hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces might play a major role in the binding of pirimicarb to DNA. Further, the alternative least squares (ALS) method was applied to resolve a complex two-way array of the absorption spectra data, which provided simultaneously the concentration information for the three reaction components, pirimicarb, NR and DNA-NR. This ALS analysis indicated that the intercalation of pirimicarb into the DNA by substituting for NR in the DNA-NR complex.

Study on the interaction between diphenhydramine and erythrosin by absorption,fluorescence and resonance Rayleigh scattering spectra

In pH 4.5 Britton-Robinson(BR)buffer solution,erythrosin(ET)can react with diphenhydramine(DP)to form a 1:1 ion-association complex,which not only results in the change of the absorption spectra,but also results in the great enhancement of resonance Rayleigh scattering(RRS)and the quenching of fluorescence.Furthermore,a new RRS spectrum will appear,and the maximum RRS wavelength was located at about 580 nm.In this work,the spectral characteristics of the absorption,fluorescence and RRS,the optimum conditions of the reaction and the properties of an analytical chemistry were inves- tigated.A sensitive,simple and new method for the determination of DP by using erythrosin as a probe has been developed.The detection limits for DP were 0.0020μg/mL for RRS method,0.088μg/mL for absorption method and 0.094μg/mL for fluorophotometry.There was a linear relationship between the absorbance,RRS and fluorescence intensities and the drug concentration in the range of 0.0067-2.0, 0.29-6.4 and 0.31-3.2μg/mL,respectively.The effects of the interaction of diphenhydramine and erythrosin on the absorption,fluorescence and resonance Rayleigh scattering spectra were discussed. In light polarization experiment,the polarization of RRS at maximum wavelength was measured to be P =0.9779,and it revealed that the RRS spectrum of DP-ET complex consists mostly of resonance scat- tering and few resonance fluorescence.In this study,enthalpy of formation and mean polarizability were calculated by AM1 quantum chemistry method.In addition,the reaction mechanism and the rea- sons for the enhancement of scattering spectra and the energy transfer between absorption,fluores- cence and RRS were discussed.     

Determination of sodium hyaluronate with some basic bisphenylnaphthylmethane dyes by resonance Rayleigh scattering method

In an acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer solution ofpH 3.6-6.8,a compound complex was formed between sodium hyaluronate (abbreviated as SH)and some basic bisphenylnaphthylmethane dyes,leading to a great enhancement of the intensity of resonance Rayleigh scattering(RRS)and giving a new RRS spectrum,with its maximum scattering peak near 280 um.It was also found that the intensity of RRS was directly proportional to the concentration of SH near the range between 0 and 3.0 mg/L.Based on these facts,a sensitive method for the determination of SH has been established.The method had good selectivity,and has been used for the determination of total amounts of SH in samples with satisfactory results.For the NB-SH system,the detection limit of SH was down to 13.7 ng/mL.     

The dynamics of a novel method coupling high-performance liquid chromatography with resonance Rayleigh scattering

The dynamics of a novel method coupling high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) is presented in the paper. The method was employed in the detection of fluoroquinolones (FQs) of urine samples from healthy human beings, by forming ion‐association complexes between the components separated from HPLC and [Ce(OH)₃]⁺ as the molecular recognition probe. The RRS signal was measured at λ_ex=λ_em=365 nm. It was applied to detect three FQs and obtained satisfactory results. The RRS spectral characteristics of the analytes and the kinetics of flow rate, proportion of organic phase, reaction time and the aggregation level of ion‐association complexes were investigated, which provided a new basis for the development of the hyphenated techniques. It was established that the presence of HPLC‐RRS would open up a new field in the determination of analytes in the absence of UV or fluorescence.     

Study on the interaction between torasemide and 12-tungstophosphoric acid by resonance Rayleigh scattering and resonance nonlinear scattering spectra and its analytical applications

In pH 0.6-1.1 HCl-NaAc buffer solution, torasemide (TOR) reacted with TP to form a 3:1 ion-association complexes. As a result, not only the absorption spectra were changed, but also the intensities of resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS), second-order scattering (SOS) and frequency doubling scattering (FDS) were enhanced greatly. The maximum RRS, SOS and FDS wavelengths were located at 370, 333, 776 nm, respectively. Under given conditions, the intensities of RRS, SOS and FDS were all directly proportional to the concentration of TOR. The detection limits of RRS, SOS and FDS were 0.7173 ng mL(-1), 7.007 ng mL(-1) and 10.90 ng mL(-1). The optimum conditions and the effects of coexisting substances on the reaction were investigated. The results showed that the method had good selectivity. Therefore, a highly sensitive, simple and quick method has been developed for the determination of TOR. The method can be applied satisfactorily to the determination of TOR in tablets and urine samples.     

Interaction of a new cobalt(II) complex of five-coordinated chiral porphyrin with calf thymus DNA

A new template-directed chiral porphyrin [(TPP)Co(Trp)], where TPP = tetraphenylporphyrin and Trp = 1-tryptophan, was prepared and characterized by various physico-chemical methods. Interaction of [(TPP)Co(Trp)] with calf thymus DNA was studied by u.v.–vis. spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The complex [(TPP)Co(Trp)], after interaction with calf thymus DNA, shows a shift in the absorption spectrum and a large hypochromicity, indicating an intercalating binding mode. This observation was further confirmed by the electrochemical behavior of [(TPP)Co(Trp)] before and after interaction with calf thymus DNA. The complex experiences a negative shift in E _1/2 and a decrease in E _p. The ratio of cathodic to anodic peak currents i _pc/i _pa was 1 for [(TPP)Co(Trp)] while for DNA bound complex i _pc/i _pa 1, suggesting that the calf thymus DNA moiety is bound strongly to the complex [(TPP)Co(Trp)]. Kinetic studies of the DNA-porphyrin complex reveal a psuedo-first order rate law as the plot of k _obs versus calf thymus DNA is linear passing through the origin.     

Influence of metal ions on the interaction between gatifloxacin and calf thymus DNA

To study the interaction between gatifloxacin (GT), metal ions (Cu²⁺, Cd²⁺, Co²⁺, Mg²⁺) and calf thymus DNA under condition of physiology pH, UV absorption and fluorescence methods were adopted. Result shows that metal ions and DNA are able to react with GT in ground state. In further research, by studying the influence of metal ions on binding of GT with DNA in metal ions–GT–DNA ternary system, we found that influential mechanism of Mg²⁺ on the binding of GT with DNA may be different from the other three. Mg²⁺ can act as a bridge in the binding of GT's carboxyl/carbonyl with DNA phosphate in certain concentration range; while Cu²⁺, Cd²⁺, Co²⁺ can combine directly with GT by reaction between GT carboxyl/carbonyl and DNA base, and enhance the binding ability of GT with DNA. The influence extent and type depend not only on the binding site of DNA with metal ions (phosphate or base), but also the binding ability of which. The stronger the binding ability of metal ions with DNA base is, the larger their promotion to binding of GT with DNA is. The order of metal ions’ influential ability on the binding of GT–DNA is identical to the binding ability order of metal ions with DNA base, that is: Cu²⁺ > Cd²⁺ > Co²⁺ > Mg²⁺.     

A study on the sizes and concentrations of gold nanoparticles by spectra of absorption, resonance Rayleigh scattering and resonance non-linear scattering

Liquid phase gold nanoparticles with different diameters and colors can be prepared using sodium citrate reduction method by controlling the amounts of sodium citrate. The mean diameters of gold nanoparticles are measured by transmission electron microscope (TEM). Gold nanoparticles with different sizes have specific absorption spectra. When the diameters of nanoparticles is between 12 and 41 nm, the maximum absorption peaks locate at 520-530 nm and there are red shifts gradually with the increase of diameters of gold nanoparticles. And when the size of gold nanoparticle is constant, the absorbance is proportional to the concentration of gold. Obvious resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) and the resonance non-linear scattering such as second-order scattering (SOS) and frequency-doubling scattering (FDS) appear at the same time as well, and the maximum scattering peaks are located at 286 nm (RRS), 480 nm (SOS) and 310 nm (FDS), respectively. When the concentration of gold is constant, absorbance and the intensities of RRS, SOS and FDS (I(RRS), I(SOS) and I(FDS)) have linear relationships with the diameters of gold nanoparticles. When the diameter of gold nanoparticle is constant, the absorbance and I(RRS), I(SOS), I(FDS) are directly proportional to the concentrations of gold nanoparticles. Therefore, it is very useful for studying the liquid phase gold nanoparticles by investigating the absorption, RRS, SOS and FDS spectra.     

Studying the interaction between CdTe quantum dots and Nile blue by absorption,fluorescence and resonance Rayleigh scattering spectra

Thioglycolic acid (TGA) capped CdTe quantum dots (QDs) with the diameter of 2–3 nm were synthesized. The interaction between CdTe QDs and Nile blue (NB) was investigated by ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) absorption, resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) and fluorescence spectroscopy. UV–vis absorption spectrum of CdTe QDs and NB obviously changed, showing that CdTe QDs could associate with NB to form a new complex. At pH 6.8, NB effectively quenched the fluorescence of CdTe QDs. It was proved that the fluorescence quenching of CdTe QDs by NB was mainly result of the formation of CdTe QDs–NB complex, electrostatic attraction and hydrophobic forces played a major role in stabilizing the complex. The binding molar ratio of CdTe QDs and NB was 5:1 by a mole-ratio method. The interaction between CdTe QDs and NB lead to the remarkable enhancement of RRS and the enchantments were in proportional to the concentration of NB in a certain range. The mechanism of the interaction between CdTe QDs and NB, reasons for the enhancement of RRS intensity were also discussed. The obtained results suggested the more satisfactory mechanism for the interaction between CdTe QDs and NB.     

Compaction process of calf thymus DNA by mixed cationic-zwitterionic liposomes: a physicochemical study

The compaction of calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) by cationic liposomes constituted by a 1:1 mixture of a cationic lipid, 1,2-distearoyl-3-(trimethylammonio)propane chloride (DSTAP), and a zwitterionic lipid, 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE, null net charge at pH = 7.4), has been evaluated in aqueous buffered solution at 298.15 K by means of conductometry, electrophoretic mobility, cryo-TEM, and fluorescence spectroscopy techniques. The results reveal that DSTAP/DOPE liposomes are mostly spherical and unilamelar, with a mean diameter of around 77 +/- 20 nm and a positively charged surface with a charge density of sigmazeta = (21 +/- 1) x 10(-3) C m(-2). When CT-DNA is present, the genosomes DSTAP/DOPE/CT-DNA, formed by means of a surface electrostatic interaction, are generally smaller than the liposomes. Furthermore, they show a tendency to fuse forming cluster-type structures when approaching isoneutrality, which has been determined by the electrochemical methods at around (L/D)phi = 5.6. The analysis of the decrease on the fluorescence emission of the fluorophore ethidium bromide, EtBr, initially intercalated between DNA base pairs, as long as the genosomes are formed has permitted us to confirm the electrostatic character of the DNA-liposome interaction.     

The investigation of the interactions between CdSe quantum dots and human serum albumin by resonance Rayleigh scattering and second-order scattering spectra

Human serum albumin (HSA) was the most abundant protein in human plasma and has significant physiological function. In Tris–HCl buffer solution (pH 7.4), water-soluble semiconductor CdSe quantum dots (QDs) reacted with HSA and the products resulted in a great enhancement of the intensity of resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) and second-order scattering (SOS). Based on this, a new method was developed to investigate the interactions between QDs and HSA. The parameters with regard to determination were optimized, and the reaction mechanism was discussed. Under optimal conditions, the increments of scattering intensity (ΔI) were directly proportional to the concentrations of HSA in the range of 0.4–48.0 μmol L^?1. The detection limits were 0.10 μmol L^?1 for RRS method and 0.25 μmol L^?1 for SOS method. The proposed method was sensitive, simple and rapid. It has been successfully applied to the determination of HSA in human urine samples. Analytical results obtained with this novel assay were satisfactory.

Study on the interaction between fluoroquinolones and erythrosine by absorption, fluorescence and resonance Rayleigh scattering spectra and their application

In pH 4.4-4.5 Britton-Robinson (BR) buffer solution, fluoroquinolone antibiotics (FLQs) including ciprofloxacin (CIP), norfloxacin (NOR), levofloxacin (LEV) and lomefloxacin (LOM) could react with erythrosine (Ery) to form 1:1 ion-association complexes, which not only resulted in the changes of the absorption spectra and the quenching of fluorescence, but also resulted in the great enhancement of resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS). These offered some indications of the determination of fluoroquinolone antibiotics by spectrophotometric, fluorescence and resonance Rayleigh scattering methods. The detection limits for fluoroquinolone antibiotics were in the range of 0.097-0.265 microg/mL for absorption methods, 0.022-0.100 microg/mL for fluorophotometry and 0.014-0.027 microg/mL for RRS method, respectively. Among them, the RRS method had the highest sensitivity. In this work, the spectral characteristics of the absorption, fluorescence and RRS, the optimum conditions of the reactions and the properties of the analytical chemistry were investigated. The methods have been successfully applied to determination of some fluoroquinolone antibiotics in human urine samples and tablets. Taking CIP-Ery system as an example, the charge distribution, the enthalpy of formation and the mean polarizability were calculated by density function theory (DFT) method. In addition, the reasons for the enhancement of scattering spectra were discussed.
