β‐Cyclodextrin‐modified three‐dimensional graphene oxide‐wrapped melamine foam for the solid‐phase extraction of flavonoids

A new three‐dimensional graphene oxide‐wrapped melamine foam was prepared and used as a solid‐phase extraction substrate. β‐Cyclodextrin was fabricated onto the surface of three‐dimensional graphene oxide‐wrapped melamine foam by a chemical covalent interaction. In view of a specific surface area and a large delocalized π electron system of graphene oxide, in combination with a hydrophobic interior cavity and a hydrophilic peripheral face of β‐cyclodextrin, the prepared extraction material was proposed for the determination of flavonoids. In order to demonstrate the extraction properties of the as‐prepared material, the adsorption energies were theoretically calculated based on periodic density functional theory. Static‐state and dynamic‐state binding experiments were also investigated, which revealed the monolayer coverage of flavonoids onto the β‐cyclodextrin/graphene oxide‐wrapped melamine foams through the chemical adsorption. ¹H NMR spectroscopy indicated the formation of flavonoids–β‐cyclodextrin inclusion complexes. Under the optimum conditions, the proposed method exhibited acceptable linear ranges (2–200 μg/L for rutin and quercetin‐3‐O‐rhamnoside; 5–200 μg/L for quercetin) with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.9979 to 0.9994. The batch‐to‐batch reproducibility (n = 5) was 3.5–6.8%. Finally, the as‐established method was satisfactorily applied for the determination of flavonoids in Lycium barbarum (Goji) samples with relative recoveries in the range of 77.9–102.6%.

Polydopamine‐coated Fe₃O₄ magnetic nanoparticles synthesized through a facile solvothermal reaction and the self‐polymerization of dopamine have been employed as a magnetic solid‐phase extraction sorbent to enrich four phenolic compounds, bisphenol A, tetrabromobisphenol A, (S)‐1,1′‐bi‐2‐naphthol and 2,4,6‐tribromophenol, from environmental waters followed by high‐performance liquid chromatographic detection. Various parameters of the extraction were optimized, including the pH of the sample matrix, the amount of polydopamine‐coated Fe₃O₄ sorbent, the adsorption time, the enrichment factor of analytes, the elution solvent, and the reusability of the nanoparticles sorbent. The recoveries of these phenols in spiked water samples were 62.0–112.0% with relative standard deviations of 0.8–7.7%, indicating the good reliability of the magnetic solid‐phase extraction with high‐performance liquid chromatography method. In addition, the extraction characteristics of the magnetic polydopamine‐coated Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles were elucidated comprehensively. It is found that there are hydrophobic, π–π stacking and hydrogen bonding interactions between phenols and more dispersible polydopamine‐coated Fe₃O₄ in water, among which hydrophobic interaction dominates the magnetic solid‐phase extraction performance.

A β‐cyclodextrin‐modified attapulgite composite was prepared and used as a dispersive micro‐solid‐phase extraction sorbent for the determination of benzoylurea insecticides in honey samples. Parameters that may influence the extraction efficiency, such as the type and volume of the eluent, the amount of the sorbent, the extraction time and the ionic strength were investigated and optimized using batch and column procedures. Under optimized conditions, good linearity was obtained for all of the tested compounds, with R² values of at least 0.9834. The limits of detection were determined in the range of 0.2–1.0 μg/L. The recoveries of the four benzoylurea insecticides in vitex honey and acacia honey increased from 15.2 to 81.4% and from 14.2 to 82.0%, respectively. Although the β‐cyclodextrin‐modified attapulgite composite did not show a brilliant adsorption capacity for the selected benzoylurea insecticides, it exhibited a higher adsorption capacity toward relatively hydrophobic compounds, such as chlorfluazuron and hexaflumuron (recoveries in vitex honey samples ranged from 70.0 to 81.4% with a precision of 1.0–3.7%). It seemed that the logP_ow of the benzoylurea insecticides is related to their recoveries. The results confirmed the possibility of using cyclodextrin‐modified palygorskite in the determination of relatively hydrophobic trace pharmaceutical residues.

Analysis of forchlorfenuron and thidiazuron in fruits and vegetables by surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy after selective solid‐phase extraction with modified β‐cyclodextrin

β‐Cyclodextrin and its derivatives can selectively bind to various organic molecules in its cavity and provide good applications in sample preparation. Surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy is a sensitive technique and has received increasing attention in the last decade. Herein, 3,5‐dimethyl phenyl carbamoylated β‐cyclodextrin bonded silica gel was used as a ssorbent in solid‐phase extraction to selectively enrich forchlorfenuron and thidiazuron followed by determination with surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy. It showed excellent selectivity for forchlorfenuron and thidiazuron and the adsorption capacities were 40.0 and 30.0 μg/g, respectively. A rapid and sensitive method based on the modified β‐cyclodextrin solid‐phase extraction coupled with surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy was developed. The linear ranges were 30.0–300.0 μg/L for forchlorfenuron and thidiazuron at 1005 and 640 cm^?1, respectively. Both of the limits of detection were 15.0 μg/L, which were significantly lower than the maximum permitted by the National Standard. The recoveries of forchlorfenuron and thidiazuron were 78.9–87.9% for the spiked grape, kiwi, cucumber and tomato, with relative standard deviations of 8.1–13.2%. The results show that this method is sensitive, selective, and relatively time saving, and has great potential in the analysis of trace amounts of plant growth regulators in fruits and vegetables.

The developed sorbent was easy to prepare, was cost‐effective, robust, and provided a good reproducibility (RSDs < 5%), and could be reused 16 times. The developed method was successfully applied for the determination of endocrine‐disrupting compounds in water samples.     

Polymeric monolith column composited with multiwalled carbon nanotubes‐β‐cyclodextrin for the selective extraction of psoralen and isopsoralen

A polymeric column that contains multiwalled carbon nanotubes‐β‐cyclodextrin composite was developed. The composite was wrapped into the poly(butyl methacrylate‐ethylene dimethacrylate) monolith column (0.76 mm id and 10 cm in length). The column was then applied for the online solid‐phase microextraction of psoralen and isopsoralen from Fructus Psoraleae. Following microextraction, the coumarins were quantified by high‐performance liquid chromatography with C₁₈ separation column and UV detection. The effects of sample flow rate, sample volume, and pH value were optimized. The method showed low limits of detection (20 pg/mL, S/N = 3) for both psoralen and isopsoralen. Finally the method was successfully applied to the determination of psoralen and isopsoralen in spiked herb extracts and rat plasma where it gave recoveries that ranged between 93.2 and 102.1%. The empty hydrophobic cavities of β‐cyclodextrin and the hydrophobicity of multiwalled carbon nanotubes provided specific extraction capability for psoralen and isopsoralen.

As a key representative organism, earthworms can directly illustrate the influence of pesticides on environmental organisms in soil ecosystems. The present work aimed to develop a high‐throughput multipesticides residue analytical method for earthworms using solid–liquid extraction with acetonitrile as the solvent and magnetic material‐based dispersive solid‐phase extraction for purification. Magnetic Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles were modified with a thin silica layer to form Fe₃O₄‐SiO₂ nanoparticles, which were fully characterized by field‐emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy, X‐ray diffractometry, and vibrating sample magnetometry. The Fe₃O₄‐SiO₂ nanoparticles were used as the separation media in dispersive solid‐phase extraction with primary secondary amine and ZrO₂ as the cleanup adsorbents to eliminate matrix interferences. The amounts of nanoparticles and adsorbents were optimized for the simultaneous determination of 44 pesticides and six metabolites in earthworms by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. The method performance was systematically validated with satisfactory results. The limits of quantification were 20 μg/kg for all analytes studied, while the recoveries of the target analytes ranged from 65.1 to 127% with relative standard deviation values lower than 15.0%. The developed method was subsequently utilized to explore the bioaccumulation of bitertanol in earthworms exposed to contaminated soil, verifying its feasibility for real sample analysis.

In this study, a novel magnetic nanoadsorbent was synthesized by grafting β‐cyclodextrin onto the modified surface of Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles for the sorption and extraction of sertraline hydrochloride from human biological fluids. The extracted sertraline hydrochloride was measured by high‐performance liquid chromatography. The grafted nanosorbent was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and elemental analysis. The kinetic sorption of sertraline hydrochloride by magnetic nanosorbent was 1 h. The best temperature for sorption of sertraline hydrochloride was at 25°C at an optimum pH of 5. The adsorbed sertraline hydrochloride can be desorbed by using methanol solution containing acetic acid (5%) and trifluoroacetic acid (1%).     

Fabrication of boronate‐decorated polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes grafted cotton fiber for the selective enrichment of nucleosides in urine

Various cotton fiber based boronate‐affinity adsorbents are recently developed for the sample pretreatment of cis‐diol‐containing biomolecules, but most do not have efficient capacity due to limited binding sites on the surface of cotton fibers. To increase the density of boronate groups on the surface of cotton fiber, polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes were used to modify cotton fiber to provide plentiful reactive sites for subsequent functionalization with 4‐formylphenylboronic acid. The new adsorbent showed special recognition ability towards cis‐diols and high adsorption capacity (175 μg/g for catechol, 250 μg/g for dopamine, 400 μg/g for adenosine). The in‐pipette‐tip solid‐phase extraction was investigated under different conditions, including pH and ionic strength of solution, adsorbent amount, pipette times, washing solvent, and elution solvent. The in‐pipette‐tip solid‐phase extraction coupled with high‐performance liquid chromatography was used to analyze four nucleosides in urine samples. Under the optimal extraction conditions, the detection limits were determined to be between 5.1 and 6.1 ng/mL (S/N  =  3), and the linearity ranged from 20 to 500 ng/mL for these analytes. The accuracy of the analytical method was examined by studying the relative recoveries of analytes in real urine samples with recoveries varying from 83 to 104% (RSD = 3.9–10.2%, n = 3).     

Recovery and separation of erythromycin from industrial wastewater by imprinted magnetic nanoparticles that exploit β‐cyclodextrin as the functional monomer

A type of surface imprinting over magnetic Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles utilizing erythromycin‐A as a template for use in the separation and recovery of erythromycin was developed and investigated. As the intermolecular forces play a key role in the performance of imprinted materials, differential scanning calorimetry, and ¹H NMR spectroscopy was employed to evaluate the interactions between erythromycin and the functional monomer β‐cyclodextrin. To synthesize the surface imprinted polymers, magnetic Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles, the core materials, were modified with a free radical initiator to initialize polymerization in a “grafting from” manner. Then using acryloyl‐modified β‐cyclodextrin as the functional monomer and ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate as the cross‐linker, thin erythromycin‐imprinted films were fabricated by the radical‐induced graft copolymerization of monomers on the surface of the Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles. Selectivity experiments showed that the erythromycin‐A‐imprinted materials had recognition ability toward erythromycin derivatives. Finally, these magnetic molecularly imprinted particles were successfully used for the separation and enrichment of erythromycin from the mother liquor. The recovery, detected by high‐performance liquid chromatography and differential pulse voltammetry, approached 97%. The combination of the specific selectivity of the imprinted material and the magnetic separation provided a powerful tool that is simple, flexible, and selective for the separation and recovery of erythromycin.

A novel magnetic adsorbent Fe₃O₄/reduced graphene oxide‐carbon nanotubes, was prepared by one‐pot solvothermal synthesis method. It was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray powder diffraction and vibrating sample magnetometry. The diameter of Fe₃O₄ microparticles was about 350 nm, which were covered by carbon nanotubes and reduced graphene oxide sheets, while carbon nanotubes inserted between the reduced graphene oxide sheets effectively prevented their aggregation.

Under the optimized conditions (including extraction time, amount of adsorbent, solution pH, ionic strength and desorption conditions), a good linear was achieved in the concentration range of 5–500 μg/L and the low limits of detection and low limits of quantification were 0.35–1.32 and 1.16–4.40 μg/L, respectively. The enrichment factors were estimated to be 24.72 to 30.15 fold. The proposed method was applied for the detection of sulfonamides in milk sample and the recoveries were 88.4–105.9%, with relative standard deviations of 0.74–5.38%.

A novel dispersive admicelle solid‐phase extraction method based on sodium dodecyl sulfate‐coated Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles was developed for the selective adsorption of berberine, coptisine, and palmatine in Gegen‐Qinlian oral liquid before high‐performance liquid chromatography. Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles were synthesized by a chemical coprecipitation method and characterized by using transmission electron microscopy. Under acidic conditions, the surface of Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles was coated with sodium dodecyl sulfate to form a nano‐sized admicelle magnetic sorbent. Owing to electrostatic interaction, the alkaloids were adsorbed onto the oppositely charged admicelle magnetic nanoparticles.

A high‐throughput micro‐solid‐phase extraction device based on a 96‐well plate was constructed and applied to the determination of pesticide residues in various apple samples. Butyl methacrylate and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate were copolymerized as a monolithic polymer and placed in the cylindrically shaped stainless‐steel meshes of 96‐micro‐solid‐phase extraction device and used as an extracting unit. Before the micro‐solid‐phase extraction, microwave‐assisted extraction was employed to facilitate the transfer of the pesticide residues from the apple matrix to liquid media. Then, 1 mL of the aquatic samples was transferred into the 96‐well plate and the 96‐micro‐solid‐phase extraction device was applied for the extraction of the selected pesticides. Influential parameters, such as sorbent‐to‐sorbent reproducibility, microwave‐assisted extraction time, ionic strength and micro‐solid‐phase extraction time, were optimized. The limits of quantitation were below 120 μg/kg, which are lower than the maximum residue limits. The developed method was successfully implemented for the extraction and determination of the selected pesticides from 20 different apple samples gathered from local markets. Phosalone was identified and quantified at the concentration level of 147 (±16.4) μg/kg in one of the samples.     

Stereoisomer separation of flavanones and flavanone‐7‐O‐glycosides by means of nanoliquid chromatography employing derivatized β‐cyclodextrins as mobile‐phase additive

A nanoliquid chromatographic method for the stereoisomer separation of some flavanone aglycones and 7‐O‐glycosides has been proposed employing a C18 capillary column and a chiral mobile‐phase additive such as cyclodextrin. The chiral separation of eriodictyol, naringenin, and hesperitin was obtained by addition of carboxymethyl‐β‐cyclodextrin to the mobile phase, whereas eriocitrin, naringin, narirutin, and hesperidin diastereoisomers were resolved by using sulfobutyl ether‐β‐cyclodextrin. The influence of the composition of the mobile phase, the length of the capillary column, and the flow rate on the chiral recognition were investigated. At optimum conditions, baseline separation for the selected aglycones and glycosylated forms were achieved with a mobile phase consisting of 50 mM sodium acetate buffer pH 3 and 30% methanol containing 20 mM of carboxymethyl‐β‐cyclodextrin and 10 mM of sulfobutyl ether‐β‐cyclodextrin, respectively. Precision, linearity, and sensitivity of the method were tested. Limits of detection and quantification for the studied flavanone glycosides were in the range 1.3‐2.5 and 7.5‐12.5 µg/mL, respectively. The method was used for the determination of the diastereomeric composition of the flavanone‐7‐O‐glycosides in Citrus juices after solid‐phase extraction procedure.
