直接进样电喷雾离子阱质谱法对含硫三联吡啶衍生物的研究

采用电喷雾电离质谱通过直接进样方式对合成的3个含硫的三联吡啶配体及2个钌配合物进行分析,详细研究了其在电喷雾条件下的质谱行为。结果表明,含有芳硫基和苄硫基的三联吡啶配体在电喷雾过程中采取了不同的断裂方式,前者首先从与芳硫键相连的碳硫键断裂失去不含硫的部分碎片离子,而后者则从苄基碳硫键断裂失去含硫的部分碎片离子。两类配体与钌形成的配合物均具有较稳定的结构,不易发生多级质谱断裂。通过对配合物分子离子峰和同位素峰的分析讨论,确定了含硫的三联吡啶合钌配合物的结构。这一研究结果表明电喷雾多级串联质谱适合于含硫三联吡啶类配体及其钌配合物的结构研究,方法简便高效、准确可靠,为该类化合物的结构研究提供了参考。

蛋白质淀粉样纤维化是很多人类疾病的重要特征,筛选蛋白质淀粉样纤维化的抑制剂对于研究和开发相关疾病的治疗药物具有重要意义。本文采用溶菌酶作为模型,探索巯基化合物1,4-二巯基苏糖醇(DTT)对蛋白质淀粉样纤维化的抑制作用。结果表明,DTT对溶菌酶淀粉样纤维化具有较强的抑制作用,其IC50数值为17μmol.L-1。DTT抑制溶菌酶纤维化的作用与其巯基结构有关。在溶菌酶分子高级结构改变产生聚集和纤维化的过程中,DTT分子的巯基通过与溶菌酶的二硫键作用改变了多肽的构象,从而改变了溶菌酶纤维化的进程。

Determination of 48 fragrance allergens in toys using GC with ion trap MS/MS

This paper presents a method for the simultaneous determination of 48 fragrance allergens in four types of toys (plastic toys, play clays, plush toys, and paper toys) based on GC with ion trap MS/MS. Compared with single‐stage MS, MS/MS is superior in terms of the qualification and quantification of a large range of compounds in complicated matrices. Procedures for extraction and purification were optimized for each toy type. The method proved to be linear over a wide range of concentrations for all analytes with correlation coefficients between 0.9768 and 0.9999. Validation parameters, namely, LODs and LOQs, ranged from 0.005–5.0 and from 0.02–20 mg/kg, respectively. Average recoveries of target compounds (spiked at three concentration levels) were in the range of 79.5–109.1%. Intraday and interday repeatabilities of the proposed method varied from 0.7–10.5% and from 3.1–13.4%, respectively. The proposed method was used to monitor fragrance allergens in commercial toy products. Our findings indicate that this method is an accurate and effective technique for analyzing fragrance allergens in materials composed of complex components.     

Simultaneous quantification of 11 isoquinoline alkaloids in Corydalis impatiens (Pall.) Fisch by HPLC

Isoquinoline alkaloids are the primary active ingredients of Corydalis, but an analytical method for quality assessment of the active ingredients in Corydalis impatiens (Pall). Fisch has not been reported. A new, simple, and multiple‐component quantification method was developed for the simultaneous quantification of 11 isoquinoline alkaloids including capnoidine, chelianthifoline, bicuculline, protopine, isoapocavidine, apocavidine, cavidine, tetrahydroepiberberine, ochotensimine, tetrahydrocoptisine, and tetrahydrocorysamine in C. impatiens. Separation of the isoquinoline alkaloids was performed on a RP C₁₈ column (150 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) with potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer (pH 2.5, adjusted by phosphoric acid)/acetonitrile (53:47, v/v) containing 0.3% sodium dodecyl sulfonate. The flow rate and detection wavelength were set at 1 mL/min and 295 nm, respectively. Full validation of the assay was carried out including linearity, precision, accuracy, stability, LOD, and limit of quantitation. All calibration curves showed a good linear relationship (r > 0.999) in test range. The results demonstrated that the developed method was reliable, rapid, and specific. Six batches of C. impatiens samples from different sources were determined using the established method. The contents of alkaloids ranged from 11.68 to 351.83 μg/g. This method can be applied for quality evaluation and control of C. impatiens. Eleven isoquinoline alkaloids were first reported on simultaneous determination with HPLC.     

Graphene‐based solid‐phase extraction disk for fast separation and preconcentration of trace polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from environmental water samples

Graphene has great potentials for the use in sample preparation due to its ultra high specific surface area, superior chemical stability, and excellent thermal stability. In our work, a novel graphene‐based SPE disk was developed for separation and preconcentration of trace polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from environmental water samples. Based on the strong π–π stacking interaction between the analytes and graphene, the analytes extracted by graphene were eluted by cyclohexane and then determined by GC‐MS. Under the optimized conditions, high flow rate (30 mL/min) and sensitivity (0.84–13 ng/L) were achieved. The proposed method was successfully applied to the analysis of real environmental water samples with recoveries ranging from 72.8 to 106.2%. Furthermore, the property of anticlogging and reusability was also improved. This work reveals great potentials of graphene‐based SPE disk in environmental analytical.     

Rapid determination of α‐tocopherol in cereal grains using dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction followed by HPLC

The traditional for the determination of α‐tocopherol in cereal grains includes saponification of a sample followed by liquid–liquid extraction, and it is time‐ and solvent consuming. In this study, a dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (DLLME) method was developed to extract α‐tocopherol in situ from the saponified grain sample solution. The DLLME experimental parameters including the type and volume of extractants, the volume of dispersers, the addition of salt and the extraction/centrifuging time were examined and optimized. The recommended analytical procedure showed excellent precision (relative SDs of the α‐tocopherol amount of 3.1% over intraday and 7.2% over interday), high sensitivity (the detection limit of 1.9 ng/mL), and strong recovery values (88.9–102.5%). In addition, statistical analyses showed no significant difference between the detected amounts of α‐tocopherol found by the standardized method and this new procedure. The method was successfully applied to determining the amounts and distribution of α‐tocopherol in 14 cereal grain samples.
