Determination of cadmium in water samples by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry after cloud point extraction

The formation of a complex with 2-(5-brom-2-pyridylazo)-5-(diethylamino)-phenol (5-Br-PADAP) and cloud point extraction have been applied to the preconcentration of cadmium followed by its determination by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS) using octylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol (TritonX-114) as surfactant. The chemical variables affecting the separation were optimized. At pH 7.0, preconcentration of only 10 mL of sample in the presence of 0.05% TritonX-114 and 2.5 × 10⁻⁶ M 5-Br-PADAP enabled the detection of 0.04 μg/L cadmium. The enrichment factor was 21 for cadmium. The regression equation was A = 0.0439C(μg/L) + 7.2 × 10⁻³. The correlation coefficient was 0.9995. The precision for 10 replicate determinations at 10 μg/L Cd was 2.7% relative standard deviation (RSD). The proposed method has been applied to the determination of cadmium in water samples.

Determination of adefovir in human plasma by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry: application to a pharmacokinetic study

A liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) method was developed and validated to determine the concentrations of adefovir [9-(2-phosphonylmethoxyethyl)adenine, PMEA] in human plasma. After one-step protein precipitation of plasma samples by methanol, adefovir was analyzed by LC/MS/MS using positive electrospray ionization. Chromatography was performed on a C18 column. The extraction recoveries of adefovir were found to be 85.1-89.3%. Adefovir was stable under routine laboratory conditions. A minimal matrix effect resulting in a slight ionization enhancement of adefovir (<10.9%) was observed, which did not markedly affect the behavior of the calibrations curves and accuracy and precision data. The method had a chromatographic run time of 7.8 min and a linear calibration curve over the concentration range 1.5-90 ng/mL for adefovir. The lower limit of quantification of the method was 1.5 ng/mL. The intra- and inter-day precision was less than 8.4%. These results indicated that this LC/MS/MS method has high selectivity and efficiency, and acceptable accuracy, precision and sensitivity. The validated LC/MS/MS method has been successfully used in a pharmacokinetic study in healthy volunteers treated with oral adefovir dipivoxil at 10 and 20 mg.     

Lewis acid mediated reactions of cyclopropyl aryl ketones with alpha-ketoesters: facile preparation of 5,6-dihydropyran-2-ones

[reaction: see text] A new general method for the synthesis of 5,6-dihydropyran-2-ones from cyclopropyl aryl ketones (monoactivated cyclopropanes) and alpha-ketoesters in good to excellent yields has been developed. The process involves a cascade of reactions, including a nucleophilic ring-opening reaction of monoactivated cyclopropane by H2O, Lewis acid mediated transesterification, and an aldol type reaction.

Highly enantioselective epoxidation of alpha,beta-unsaturated esters by chiral dioxirane

This paper describes a highly enantioselective epoxidation of alpha,beta-unsaturated esters using the fructose-derived ketone 2 as catalyst and Oxone as oxidant. High ee's have been obtained for a number of trans and trisubstituted substrates (82-98% ee). The results described show that it is feasible for dioxiranes to effectively epoxidize electron-deficient olefins with high ee's.

Thermal Decomposition Kinetics of the Zn(II) Complex with Norfloxacin in Static Air Atmosphere

The thermal decomposition of Zn[NFA]₂5H₂O (NFA=C₁₆H₁₈FN₃O₃, norfloxacin) and its kinetics were studied under non-isothermal conditions in air by TG-DTG and DTA methods. The intermediate and residue for each decomposition were identified from the TG curve. The non-isothermal kinetic data were analyzed by means of the Achar method and the Madhusudanan-Krishnan-Ninan (MKN) method. The possible reaction mechanisms were investigated by comparing the kinetic parameters. The kinetic equation for the second stage can be expressed as d/dt=Aexp(–E/RT)(1–).This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

An integrated console for capsule-based,automated organic synthesis

The current laboratory practices of organic synthesis are labor intensive, impose safety and environmental hazards, and hamper the implementation of artificial intelligence guided drug discovery. Using a combination of reagent design, hardware engineering, and a simple operating system we provide an instrument capable of executing complex organic reactions with prepacked capsules. The machine conducts coupling reactions and delivers the purified products with minimal user involvement. Two desirable reaction classes – the synthesis of saturated N-heterocycles and reductive amination – were implemented, along with multi-step sequences that provide drug-like organic molecules in a fully automated manner. We envision that this system will serve as a console for developers to provide synthetic methods as integrated, user-friendly packages for conducting organic synthesis in a safe and convenient fashion.
