一个新的拓扑指数用于有机化合物的QSPR/QSAR研究

在分子图的邻接矩阵和距离矩阵的基础上提出了一个新的拓扑指数Xu,该拓扑指数易于计算,对C~2-C~1~6饱和烷烃有较高的结构区分能力,通过适当的处理可方便地推广到含多重键杂原子体系。该指数与饱和烷烃的正常沸点等理化性质,不饱和链烃类化合物的热容以及某些脂肪醇的毒性和疏水性参数均具有较好的性质相关性。绝大多数理化性质与Xu指数均能建立简单线性模型,且相关系数均大于0.99,表明该指数有望在QSPR/QSAR研究中作为一个新的参数而获得推广应用。

A new strategy of outlier detection for QSAR/QSPR

The crucial step of building a high performance QSAR/QSPR model is the detection of outliers in the model. Detecting outliers in a multivariate point cloud is not trivial, especially when several outliers coexist in the model. The classical identification methods do not always identify them, because they are based on the sample mean and covariance matrix influenced by the outliers. Moreover, existing methods only lay stress on some type of outliers but not all the outliers. To avoid these problems and detect all kinds of outliers simultaneously, we provide a new strategy based on Monte‐Carlo cross‐validation, which was termed as the MC method. The MC method inherently provides a feasible way to detect different kinds of outliers by establishment of many cross‐predictive models. With the help of the distribution of predictive residuals such obtained, it seems to be able to reduce the risk caused by the masking effect. In addition, a new display is proposed, in which the absolute values of mean value of predictive residuals are plotted versus standard deviations of predictive residuals. The plot divides the data into normal samples, y direction outliers and X direction outliers. Several examples are used to demonstrate the detection ability of MC method through the comparison of different diagnostic methods. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Comput Chem, 2010

Advantages of using a modified orthogonal sampling configuration originally designed for LC-ESI-MS to couple CE and MS for the determination of antioxidant phenolic compounds found in virgin olive oil

A ThermoFinnigan sheath liquid flow capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry system designed for coupling via a co-axial interface was coupled through an adapted via an alternative, commercially available interface for orthogonal sampling. The affordable, reversible structural alterations made in the commercial LC-MS interface resulted in improved analytical performance.The results of a conventional capillary electrophoresis (CE) method using a commercial co-axial source to determine antioxidant phenolic acids present in virgin olive oil, were compared with those obtained by using a modified orthogonal sampling position. In both cases, separations were done using a 10 mM ammonium acetate/ammonium hydroxide buffer solution at pH 10.0 and a constant applied voltage of 25 kV. The operating variables for the mass spectrometry interface were re-optimized for the modified orthogonal orientation. This allowed the sheath liquid, sheath gas flow rates and capillary voltage to be lowered with respect to the co-axial coupling configuration. In addition, the orthogonal sampling position provided a higher selectivity by effect of ion sampling excluding larger droplets—with an increased momentum along the axis—which were drained through the sink at the bottom of the ion source. Also, the new configuration facilitated sample ionization, improved electrospray stability and led to stronger signals as a result.The new system was validated in terms of precision (repeatability), linearity, and limits of detection and quantification. A comparison of the validation data with the results previously obtained by using a commercial co-axial configuration revealed the adapted orthogonal sampling position to provide better repeatability in both migration times and relative peak areas (<1% and 7% respectively with n = 15 replicates), a good linear range (with levels in the microgram-per-litre region) and lower limits of detection—especially for the compounds detected with the lowest sensitivity when co-axial ESI was used, as HFA, GEN, FER and VAN finding LOD among 24-3.0 μg L⁻¹ respectively.     

Isoliquiritigenin (4,2′,4′-trihydroxychalcone): A new matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization matrix with outstanding properties for the analysis of neutral oligosaccharides

A novel matrix of isoliquiritigenin (ISL), a flavonoid with a chalcone structure (4,2′,4′-trihydroxychalcone), was demonstrated to be advantageous in the analysis of neutral oligosaccharides by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). With ISL as a matrix, adequate signal for an analyte can be obtained in much lower matrix concentrations and laser intensity compared to commonly used MALDI matrices. Four different sample preparation methods were tested, and the dried droplet method exhibited the best performance on MALDI-TOF-MS analysis of oligosaccharides with ISL as a matrix. For the analysis of carbohydrates, compared with popular matrices such as 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB) and 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone (THAP), ISL exhibited outstanding matrix properties as follows: (1) higher homogeneity of crystallization thus allowing automatic data acquisition, (2) better spectral quality in terms of resolution and signal to noise ratio (S N⁻¹), (3) better salt tolerance, (4) higher sensitivity, and (5) enough fragmentation yield to use LIFT-TOF/TOF MS to get richer structural information. In addition, reliable quantitative analysis of oligosaccharides with a good linearity over two concentration orders (1–100 pmol μL⁻¹) and good reproducibility of the signal intensity (RSD less than 15%) were achieved using this matrix. These results give a new outlook on high-speed analysis of neutral carbohydrates by MALDI-TOF MS.
