A new and rapid method for simultaneous identification and estimation of bioactive triterpenoid glycosides [asiaticoside (AS) and madecassoside (MS)] and their aglycones [asiatic acid (AA) and madecassic acid (MA)] in Centella asiatica was developed by using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with triple-quadrupole mass spectrometry (MS/MS). Estimation was based on multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) using the precursor → product ion combination for determination of four analytes using Alltima C18 column (50 × 4.6 mm, 3 µm). An electrospray ionization (ESI) tandem interface in positive mode was employed prior to mass-spectrometric detection. The method was subjected to a thorough validation procedure in terms of linearity, limit of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ), accuracy, and precision. Six-point calibration curves were linear in the range of 50–500 ng mL−1 for AS and MS, and 25–250 ng mL−1 for AA and MA, with excellent linearity (R2 > 0.98). With the optimized conditions, the four analytes were detected accurately within 10 min. LOD and LOQ ranged from 2.5 to 5 and 10 to 15 ng mL−1, respectively. Method accuracy in terms of average recoveries of all four analytes ranged between 98.61 and 102.85 % at three spiking levels with intra- and interday precision relative standard deviation (RSD, %) of 1.01–4.62 and 1.13–4.16, respectively. The new method was successfully applied to estimate the concentration of these four bioactive compounds in extracts of C. asiatica prepared by nonpolar-to-polar solvents.
Herein, the electrical conductivity technique used to measure the critical micelle concentration (cmc) for pure cationic surfactants (Dodecyl/cetyltrimethylammonium bromides) and phenothiazine drug (Promethazine hydrochloride), as well as their different mole fractions in 10?3 ?mol/kg 1-methyl-3-octylimidazolium chloride (C8mim.Cl) at different temperatures. By using the cmc values the regular solution theory used to evaluate the micellar mole fraction for DTAB/CTAB-PMT mixed systems. The clint's model used to calculate the ideal critical micelle concentration (cmc1) that helps to evaluate the ideal micellar mole fraction for studied mixed systems, both explain the deviation from ideality. In addition, interaction parameter βm helps to confirm the nature of interaction (either antagonistic or synergistic) for the studied systems. The calculated parameters confirm a transition in the binding nature from antagonistic to synergistic with the increase in alkyl chain length of cationic surfactant i.e., component of the binary mixed system. The ease of micellization for the studied systems discussed by the standard Gibb's energy of micellization (), as well as the standard enthalpy and standard entropy of micellization were () and (), respectively to discuss the stability of the studied systems. 相似文献
Soft matter provides diverse opportunities for the development of electrolytes for all solid state lithium batteries. Here
we review soft matter solid electrolytes for lithium batteriesthat are primarily obtained starting from liquid electrolytic
systems. This concept of solid electrolyte synthesis from liquid is significantly different from prevalent approaches. The
novelty of our approach is discussed in the light of various fundamental issues and in relation to its application to rechargeable
lithium batteries. 相似文献
In continuation of the work in connection with the synthesis and characterization of polyketoetheresters [1], the present paper describes the synthesis of structurally related polyketoetheresters in which the ether linkage is in the acid moiety of the repeat unit. The polyesters listed in Table 1 were prepared by polycondensation of equimolar amounts of 4,4′-dicarboxyacetyldiphenyl ether (DCADPE) and the required diacetate of dihydroxyarenes and/or of the dimethyl ester of DCADPE and the required aliphatic diol or arene diol in the presence of zinc acetate. 相似文献
New or more efficient methodologies having different principles are needed, as one method could not be suitable for isolation of organisms from samples of diverse types and from various environments. In present investigation, growth kinetics study revealed a higher germination rate, a higher growth rate, and maximum sporulation of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) compared to other Bacillus species. Considering these facts, a simple and efficient enrichment method was devised which allowed propagation of spores and vegetative cells of Bt and thereby increased Bt cell population proportionately. The new enrichment method yielded Bt from 44 out of 58 samples. Contrarily, Bt was isolated only from 16 and 18 samples by sodium acetate selection and dry heat pretreatment methods, respectively. Moreover, the percentages of Bt colonies isolated by the enrichment method were higher comparatively. Vegetative whole cell protein profile analysis indicated isolation of diverse population of Bt from various samples. Bt strains isolated by the enrichment method represented novel serovars and possibly new cry2 gene. 相似文献
Poly-Schiff-base ligand (SBSAL-DDM) is synthesized by condensing bis-salicylaldehyde 5,5′-sulfone with 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl methane. The polychelates of Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), and Mn(II) with poly-Schiff base have been isolated and analyzed. The analytical data agree with 1:1 metal-ligand stoichiometry. The polychelates are studied in terms of electrical, thermal, spectral, and magnetic properties. A probable structure has been proposed for the above polymers. 相似文献

A new, simple, selective and sensitive spectrophotometric procedure for the on-site quantification of iron at nano-gram levels in atmospheric precipitations, i.e. rain as sample source is described. It is based on the color reaction of Fe3+ with SCN– ions in the presence of a cationic surfactant, i.e. cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), in strong HCl solution, and subsequent extraction of the complex with N-octylacetamide into toluene or chloroform. The apparent molar absorptivity of the complex is 2.60 × 105 L mol–1 cm–1 at λmax = 480 nm at an enrichment factor (EF) of 10. The detection limit (causing higher absorbance than the sum of the blank absorbance (0.009) and 3 SD) is 5 ng mL–1 Fe. Ions commonly associated with iron did not interfere in the present method. The effect of analytical variables, i.e. amount and type of the reagents, acidity, solvent, temperature, dilution, etc., in the determination of iron are discussed. The validity of the present method is checked with GF-AAS. The method has been applied to the determination of iron at the ppb level in rain water samples. 相似文献
1-Methylindole-3-carboxaldehyde oxime, C10H10N2O, (I),and (E)-5-methoxy-1-methylindole-3-carboxaldehyde oxime, C11H12N2O2, (II), were examined structurally to ascertain the geometry of the hydroxyimino function relative to the indole core. Oxime (I) exhibits cis geometry and there are two molecules in the asymmetric unit. In contrast, oxime (II) exhibits trans geometry and has four molecules in the asymmetric unit, with the geometry of the 5-methoxy group in one molecule differing from that in the other three. Both crystal structures are maintained by hydrogen bonding with no π-stacking of the indole moiety present. 相似文献
