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.     

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.     

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.

宋明理学的三种知行观—对理学思想谱系的一种逆向把握

一般说来,知行观属于功夫修养的范围,因而人们往往将其作为本体思想的一种落实与表现来把握。这当然有一定的道理。但根据儒家传统体与用、本体与功夫之间的互渗互证关系,不仅理学家关于体与本体的思想就表现在其功夫论中,而且从知行功夫的角度也可以逆向甚至更为具体地把握其本体思想。从这一视角出发,宋明知行观的探讨主要表现为程朱的知先行后、王阳明的知行合一以及王夫之的行先知后三种结论;而这三种不同的知行观,既代表着理学发展的三个阶段,同时也体现着理学发展的三个理论制高点,是理学沿着三个不同方向发展所得出的结论。至于其相互的批评、转进与分歧、演变,不仅代表着理学探讨之深入,同时也体现着其边界与底限意识。今天,反思其不同的制高点及其底限之间的互动关系,也是对宋明理学进行研究、总结并推陈出新的应有之义。     

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).     

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.     

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.     

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.

体用一源论—中国哲学元理

自然、社会、人生是由什么支撑的,千变万化的万象是如何归一的,天地万物的终极根源、根据是什么,人如何把握天地万物的资始资生,这就需要进入道体的体用一源的求索。体用思维在中国哲学概念、范畴逻辑结构中已度越一家一派的范围,而敞开胸怀,成为儒释道及诸子用来诠释自己哲学的概念、范畴。程颐提出“体用一源”命题,后人都加以发挥,并进入天人关系的探求,体现为天度越人,又寓于人;交感联通,尽心知天;相分制用,参赞化育;交而相胜,还而相用;天道人性,天人合一。中国哲学的和合生生道体是追寻天地万物存在本原的终极根与底,是对思想的思想终极解释的反思,是追求世界终极价值的形而上者。于是便展开对形而上与形而下的探讨,体现为无形有待,不生有名;有本无体,本末体用;相分不离,和合道体。形而上之道与形而下之器的思维形式,是天地然与所以然、迹与所以迹、共相与殊相、道体与现象、本源与属性、精义入神与礼仪实践的关系。在近代中西文化哲学会通的人文语境下,有中本西末、中体西用、中内西外等主张。     

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.

基于低共熔溶剂的萃取分离技术及其应用研究进展

随着绿色化学的发展,开发和应用符合绿色化学要求的溶剂和方法备受关注。作为离子液体类似物,低共熔溶剂(deep eutectic solvent, DES)是通过氢键受体(hydrogen bond acceptor, HBA)和氢键供体(hydrogen bond donator, HBD)的氢键作用而形成的一种混合物,具有环境友好、制备简单、成本低、可生物降解等优点,在很多领域均有越来越广泛的应用。DES可以从不同样品中萃取和分离不同的目标化合物,其作为萃取溶剂具有独特的优势,可以获得较高的萃取效率且样品基质对分析过程的影响较小。在分散液液微萃取(dispersive liquid-liquid micro-extraction, DLLME)程序中,DES可以萃取复杂基质中的残留药物、金属离子和生物活性成分;与传统的萃取方法相比,该方法具有对有机试剂需求少,萃取效率更高等明显优势。而且,在DLLME中加入DES作为分散剂,能够加速萃取剂在样品溶液中的扩散,具有小型化、成本低等优点。相比于传统分散剂甲醇、乙腈的高挥发性、易燃性,DES的高稳定性、低毒性使其在绿色化学领域中更具有优势,应用更广。因此,DES与DLLME的结合近年来发展迅速。不仅如此,DES与固相萃取联合应用也具有广泛的应用前景,在与固相萃取小柱和搅拌棒联合应用时,DES可以作为洗脱剂,氢键供体及氢键给体的用量之比是洗脱效率的重要考察因素之一。在与磁性材料联用时,DES能与磁性多壁碳纳米管、磁性氧化石墨烯等纳米复合材料结合,通过氢键、π-π作用力和静电作用力等特异性吸附目标分析物。并且能够参与磁性凝胶和分子印迹聚合物的合成,推动磁性材料向绿色化学的方向发展,进一步拓展DES的应用。作为一类新兴的绿色溶剂,DES在化合物的萃取分离技术方面受到广泛关注,在不同的萃取技术中扮演了不同的角色,并表现出良好的性能,因此逐渐成为绿色化学领域的研究重点。该文整合了DES在萃取分离技术中的研究进展,介绍了DES的制备、性质和分类,对DES在DLLME和固相萃取中的应用进行了总结和归类,并展望了DES在萃取分离技术中的应用前景,为DES未来的应用提供参考。
