Preparation of a Large Amount of Ultrathin Graphdiyne

We report a facile strategy to prepare a large amount of ultrathin graphdiyne (GDY) with good crystallinity in the mixture of oil–water systems. By simply mixing the solution of GDY monomer in CHCl₃ and the copper acetate solution as a catalyst in water and stirring at room temperature, ultrathin GDY films with a thickness of ∼4 nm were obtained in a yield of 95 %. This work provides a feasible path for the substantial preparation of GDY films and may pave the way to the development of substantial preparation of the GDY materials.     

Development of an LC–MS/MS method for quantifying two main metabolites of abivertinib in human plasma

Abivertinib represents a highly selective irreversible epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Two major metabolites of abivertinib, M7 and MII-6, were detected in human plasma, which are recommended to be monitored for safety reasons in clinical trial. A high-throughput quantification method utilizing liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry was designed and verified to quantify abivertinib's primary metabolites in human plasma. Solid-phase extraction was used to process the plasma, and then the analytes underwent a gradient elution separation in an Aquity UPLC BEH C₁₈ column (1.7 μm, 2.1 × 50 mm) with mobile phase A (10 mm ammonium acetate containing 0.1% formic acid) and mobile phase B (methanol–acetonitrile, 2:8, v/v, with 0.1% formic acid). Ion transitions of M7 (m/z 490.2 → 405.1) and MII-6 (m/z 476.2 → 391.1) were monitored under multiple reaction monitoring mode and electrospray ionization in positive ion mode. This simultaneous determination method was found to have acceptable precision, accuracy and linearity in the 0.5–500 ng/mL range for M7 and the 0.5–500 ng/mL range for MII-6, accompanied by a mild matrix effect but high recovery. Further stability assessments indicated that both analytes remained stable throughout the entire experimental process from harvesting whole blood to plasma extraction and analysis.     

Enantioselective Synthesis of 3-Substituted 3-Amino-2-oxindoles by Amination with Anilines

A chiral N,N′-dioxide-nickel(II) complex-catalyzed asymmetric amination of 3-bromo-3-substituted oxindoles with anilines has been developed. A series of alkyl or aryl 3-amino-indolinones with quaternary stereocenters were obtained in high yields with excellent ee values in one step (up to 99 % yield, up to 96 % ee). The method provided a ready route to optically active intermediates of 3-amino-2-oxindole-based bioactive compounds. Moreover, a possible transition-state model is proposed so as to elucidate the origin of the chirality based on the X-ray crystal structure of the catalyst and the adduct.     

Nine absorbed components pharmacokinetic of raw and processed Moutan Cortex in normal and blood-heat and hemorrhage syndrome model rats

Raw Moutan Cortex (RMC) and Processed Moutan Cortex (PMC) have a long history of use in China and other Asian countries. In this study, a rapid and accurate ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography coupled with diode array detector (UHPLC–DAD) method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of nine absorbed compounds of RMC/PMC. After extraction by protein precipitation with methanol from plasma, the analytes were separated on an Acquity UPLC® BEH Shield RP₁₈ column (2.1 × 100 mm, 1.7 μm, Waters, USA). Acetonitrile (A) and 0.1% (v/v) formic acid in water (B) were selected as the mobile phase to perform gradient elution. The linearity of nine analytes was >0.9915. The intra- and inter-assay precision (RSD) values were within 11.18%, and accuracy ranged from 91.32 to 101.29%. Suitable stability, matrix effect and extraction recoveries were also obtained. The validated method was applied to compare the pharmacokinetics of RMC and PMC in Blood-Heat and Hemorrhage Syndrome Model and normal rats. The results revealed that processing and the pathological state could influence the pharmacokinetic characteristics of compounds in RMC/PMC. The study willbe useful for further studies on pharmacokinetics and clinical application of raw and processed Moutan Cortex.     

Simultaneous determination of eight bioactive components in Marsdenia tenacissima extract in rat plasma by LC–MS/MS and its application in a pharmacokinetic study

As a traditional Chinese medicine, Marsdenia tenacissima (Roxb.) Wight et Arn. plays an indispensable role in clinical practice owing to its specific efficacy in treating malignant tumors, leukocythemia, cystitis and asthma. This study aimed to establish a novel and scientific LC–MS/MS approach to simultaneously determine tenacissoside B, H, G and I, caffeic acid, cryptochlorogenic acid, chlorogenic acid and neochlorogenic acid from M. tenacissima extract within the rat plasma samples. Digoxin was used as the internal reference. All determinations were carried out using the Eclipse Plus C₁₈ column, and water (containing 0.1% formic acid) was used as the mobile phase A, while acetonitrile was the mobile phase B for gradient elution. The UPLC methods were validated, including calibration curves, accuracy, precision, stability and recovery of the total eight analytes, in accordance with the requirements for biopharmaceutical analysis. Moreover, the proposed approach was also used in comprehensive pharmacokinetic research on those eight analytes in rats following M. tenacissima extract gavage. According to the pharmacokinetic parameters, tenacissoside B, I, H and G are the long-acting and primary bioactive constituents in M. tenacissima extract, with long mean residence times and high concentrations. Our findings shed light on the absorption mechanism and provide significant information for the clinical application of M. tenacissima.     

Two-stage adaptive PMD compensation in 40 Gb/s OTDM optical communication system using PSO algorithm

An experiment of two-stage adaptive compensation for polarization mode dispersion (PMD) in a 40 Gb/s optical time-division multiplexed (OTDM) communication system is reported. The PMD monitoring technique based on degree of polarization (DOP) was adopted. The Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm was introduced in adaptive PMD compensation. The comparison was made to estimate the effectiveness between PSO algorithms with global neighborhood structure (GPSO) and with local neighborhood structure (LPSO). The LPSO algorithm is shown to be more effective to search global optimum for PMD compensation than GPSO algorithm. The ability of tracking changed PMD using PSO algorithm was also investigated. The two-stage PMD compensator is shown to be effective for both first- and second-order PMD, and the compensator is shown to be bit rate independent. The optimum searching time is within several hundreds of milliseconds. The response time for recovery from a sharp disturbance is about 11 ms.     

TWO PHOTONS EXCITED 4d RYDBERG STATE OF AsH3

In this paper, by using resonance enhanced (2+1) multiphoton ionization (REMPI) of AsH₃ and detecting the daughter molecular ions AsH⁺ and As⁺, a long progression discrete structure was obtained from 267 to 291 nm, which obeys the formula ν₀(cm^-1)=68875.3+504.1v′₂+5.26v′²₂. Analysis of the spectrum has revealed that it belongs to 4d Rydberg state transition. Our assignment yields the 4d Rydberg state parameters T_e′=67881.1 cm^-1, ω_e′=495.1 cm^-1 and δ=0.962. Finally the 4d Rydberg state structure of AsH₃ was discussed.
