Screening of aromatase inhibitors in traditional Chinese medicines by electrophoretically mediated microanalysis in a partially filled capillary

An electrophoretically mediated microanalysis method with partial filling technique was developed for screening aromatase inhibitors in traditional Chinese medicine. The in‐capillary enzymatic reaction was performed in 20 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.4), and sodium phosphate buffer (20 mM, pH 8.0) was used as a background electrolyte. A long plug of coenzyme reduced β‐nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide 2′‐phosphate hydrate dissolved in the reaction buffer was hydrodynamically injected into a fused silica capillary followed by the injection of reaction buffer, enzyme, and substrate solution. The reaction was initiated with a voltage of 5 kV applied to the capillary for 40 s. The voltage was turned off for 20 min to increase the product amount and again turned on at a constant voltage of 20 kV to separate all the components. Direct detection was performed at 260 nm. The enzyme activity was directly assayed by measuring the peak area of the produced β‐nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate and the decreased peak area indicated the aromatase inhibition. Using the Lineweaver–Burk equation, the Michaelis–Menten constant was calculated to be 50 ± 4.5 nM. The method was applied to the screening of aromatase inhibitors from 15 natural products. Seven compounds were found to have potent AR inhibitory activity.     

Evaluation of the combinative application of SDS and sodium deoxycholate to the LC–MS‐based shotgun analysis of membrane proteomes

SDS and sodium deoxycholate (SDC) as two representative detergents have been widely used in LC–MS/MS‐based shotgun analysis of membrane proteomes. However, some inherent disadvantages limit their applications such as interference with MS analysis or their weak ability to disrupt membranes. To address this, the combinative application of SDS and SDC was developed and evaluated in our study, which comprehensively used the strong ability of SDS to lyse membranes and solubilize hydrophobic membrane proteins, and the high efficiencies of an optimized acetone precipitation method and SDC in sample clean‐up, protein recovery, and redissolution and digestion of precipitated proteins. The comparative study using a rat‐liver‐membrane‐enriched sample showed that, compared with other three commonly used methods including the filter‐aided sample preparation strategy, the combinative method not only increased the identified number of total proteins, membrane proteins, and integral membrane proteins by an average of 19.8, 23.9, and 24.8%, respectively, but also led to the identification of the highest number of matching peptides. All these results demonstrate that the method yielded better recovery and reliability in the identification of the proteins especially highly hydrophobic integral membrane proteins than the other three methods, and thereby has more potential in shotgun membrane proteomics.     

Synthesis of anionic gemini surfactant-templated mesoporous silica nanoparticles and its adsorption application for Pb2+

Abstract

Amino-functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles (AFMSN) were prepared based on the self-assembly process of the pre-fabricated template of anionic gemini surfactant. The perfect mass ration of the reactants for the synthesis of the AFMSN with high surface area and amino loading was optimized by orthogonal experiments. Adsorption capability of the optimized product for lead ion (Pb²⁺) was investigated in detail. Specially, the effects of the amino content, solution pH, adsorbent dosage, temperature, and interference of other metal ions on the removal efficiency of Pb²⁺ were studied. It is found that these factors can greatly affect the removal efficiency of Pb²⁺ and the prepared adsorbent exhibits the high adsorption selectivity for Pb²⁺. At an optimal condition, the AFMSN adsorbent presents an excellent adsorption capacity for Pb²⁺ up to 211.42?mg/g. The adsorption kinetics study revealed that the pseudo-second-order model could well describe the Pb²⁺ adsorption process, and the adsorption isotherm was fitted well with the Langmuir model. More importantly, the AFMSN adsorbent could be recycled 8 times and a high adsorption efficiency of Pb²⁺ could still be maintained. Therefore, the prepared AFMSN adsorbent may find practical application in removing Pb²⁺ from the polluted water.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Multi‐Walled Carbon Nanotube/Polythiophene Composites

Multi‐walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/polythiophene (PTh) composites have been prepared by in situ chemical oxidative polymerization. PTh is synthesized onto the sidewalls of the MWCNTs, which play a role as hard templates for PTh to produce one‐dimensional nanostructures. The morphology and structures of the MWCNT/PTh composites are characterized by High‐resolution transmission electron microscopy, x‐ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry. Their electrical property and thermal stability are determined using vector network analyzer and thermal gravimetric analyzer. Moreover, the mechanism of MWCNT/PTh nanowire formation is described. The studies show that the composites are nanowires with core‐shell structure, in which the outer shells and inner cores are formed by PTh and MWCNTs, respectively. The addition of MWCNTs does not change the backbone structure of PTh and affect the amorphous condition of PTh very slightly, however, it improves the electrical conductivity and thermal stability of PTh.     

Enhanced orientation of PEO polymer chains induced by nanoclays in electrospun PEO/clay composite nanofibers

Polymer fibers composed of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and nanoclay were fabricated by electrospinning. The morphology of the composite nanofibers was characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM), which showed aligned nanoclays in the fibers. Polarized Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy revealed that the PEO chains in the composite fibers exhibit a higher degree of orientation than that in PEO nanofibers containing no nanoclay. It is believed that spatial confinement is present in the electrospun nanofibers, which results in the enforcement of the mutual restriction. The anisotropic hierarchical nanostructure may have potential applications in optics, mechanical materials, and biomedical materials for cell culture.
