Electroanalysis and simultaneous determination of dopamine and epinephrine at poly(isonicotinic acid)-modified carbon paste electrode in the presence of ascorbic acid

A carbon paste electrode modified with electropolymerized fills of isonicotinic acid was developed.The modified electrode shows excellent electrocatalytic activity toward the oxidation of both dopamine(DA)and epinephrine(EP).Separation of the reduction peak potentials for dopamine and epinephrine was about 357 mV in pH 5.3 phosphate buffer solution(PBS)and the character was used for the detection DA and EP simultaneously.The peak currents increase linearly with DA and EP concentration over the range of 8.0×10-5 to 7.0×10-4 mol/L and 5.0×10-6 to 1.0×10-4 mol/L with detection limits of 2 × 10-5 and 1×10-6 mol/L,respectively.The interference studies showed that the modified electrode exhibits excellent selectivity in the presence of large excess of ascorbic acid(AA).

Determination of sulfur anions by ion chromatography-postcolumn derivation and UV detection

A novel method for determination of formaldehyde sulfoxylate,sulfite,thiocyanate,and thiosulfate in foodstuffs by ion chromatography separation with postcolumn derivation and UV detection has been developed.All species are separated at Dionex IonPac AG22A and AS22A with mobile phase of a mixture of 4.5 mmol/L sodium carbonate and 0.8 mmol/L sodium bicarbonate at a flow-rate of 1.0mL/min.The postcolumn derivation solution was 0.24%iodine in 0.2%phosphate acid and the detection wavelength was set at 288 nm...     

β-Cyclodextrin promoted oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids in water

A facile,efficient and substrate-selective oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids with NaClO catalyzed byβ-cyclodextrin in water has been developed.A series of aldehydes which could form inclusion complex withβ-cyclodextrin(β-CD)were oxidized selectively with excellent yields.     

Molecular modeling of epsilon RNA from hepatitis B virus

An initial model of the HBV epsilon RNA was built by the Biopolymer module of InsightⅡ.While its three-dimensional structure was obtained through structure optimization based on molecular dynamics simulation,the two active sites were found.A comparison with the experimental result indicated that the active sites may be the binding sites of the epsilon RNA in the RT-epsilon interaction.The result will be helpful to further discussion about the mechanism of RT-epsilon interaction and the study of HBV genom...

Two new flavanone glycosides 1 and 2 were isolated from the aerial parts oi Macrothelypteris torresiana(Gaud.)Ching.The structures of two products were identified as(2S)-5,7,2',5'-tetrahydroxyfiavanone-2'-O-β-D-6"-O-acetylglucopyranoside and(2S)- 5,7,2',5'-tetrahydroxyflavanone-2'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside on the basis of their chemical and spectral analysis,respectively.     

Application of potassium ferricyanide in the spectrophotometric determination of captopril

A novel method for the determination of captopril by speetrophotometer is described in this paper. The experiment is based on the fact that Fe(Ⅲ) is reduced to Fe(Ⅱ) by captopril, then the in situ formed Fe(Ⅱ) reacts with potassium ferricyanide to give the soluble prussian blue at pH 4.00, and its maximal adsorption wavelength (λmax) is 735 nm. Good linear relationship is obtained between the absorbance and the concentration of captopril in the wide range of 0.05-20 μg/mL. The linear regression equation is A = -0.04314 + 0.11423C (μg/mL) with a correlation coefficient R = 0.9998. The detection limit (3a/k) is 0.04 μg/mL, the molar absorption coefficient is 2.5×104 L/mol cm. By mensurating the absorbance of soluble prussian blue, the indirect determination of eaptopril can be obtained. This method has been successfully applied to determination of captopril in pharmaceutical samples.Analytical results obtained are satisfactory.

Two new C-glucofuranosyl isoflavones of impurities in puerarin injection were isolated.Their structures were determined to be 8-C-α-glucofuranosyl-7,4'-dihydroxyisoflavone and 8-C-β-glucofuranosyl-7,4'-dihydroxy-isoflavone by chemical and spectral analysis.     

Molecular imprinting of protein by coordinate interaction

In this article,a novel strong interaction by forming complex between bovine serum albumin(BSA) and copper ion was utilized for the preparation of molecular imprinted hydrogel in aqueous solution.Results show that the inclusion of copper ion in preparation can bridge the template BSA and functional monomers together and improve the imprinting effect compared to the polymer made without copper ion added.High selectivity factor and large adsorption capacity are also observed for the obtained BSA-imprinted ...
