Determination of triclosan metabolites by using in‐source fragmentation from high‐performance liquid chromatography/negative atmospheric pressure chemical ionization ion trap mass spectrometry

Triclosan is a widely used broad‐spectrum antibacterial agent that acts by specifically inhibiting enoyl–acyl carrier protein reductase. An in vitro metabolic study of triclosan was performed by using Sprague‐Dawley (SD) rat liver S9 and microsome, while the in vivo metabolism was investigated on SD rats. Twelve metabolites were identified by using in‐source fragmentation from high‐performance liquid chromatography/negative atmospheric pressure chemical ionization ion trap mass spectrometry (HPLC/APCI‐ITMS) analysis. Compared to electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI‐MS) and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) that gave little fragmentation for triclosan and its metabolites, the in‐source fragmentation under APCI provided intensive fragmentations for the structural identifications. The in vitro metabolic rate of triclosan was quantitatively determined by using HPLC/ESI‐ITMS with the monitoring of the selected triclosan molecular ion. The metabolism results indicated that glucuronidation and sulfonation were the major pathways of phase II metabolism and the hydroxylated products were the major phase I metabolites. Moreover, glucose, mercapturic acid and cysteine conjugates of triclosan were also observed in the urine samples of rats orally administrated with triclosan.

Dynamical behaviors of a biological management model with impulsive stocking juvenile predators and continuous harvesting adult predators

In this work, a biological management model with impulsive stocking juvenile predators and continuous harvesting adult predators is investigated. By the stroboscopic map of the discrete dynamical system, the prey-extinction periodic solution of the investigated system is proved to be globally asymptotically stable. By the theory of impulsive differential equation, the investigated system is also proved to be permanent. Finally, the numerical analysis is inserted to illustrate the results. Our conclusions provide reliable tactical basis for the practical biological management.     

Efficient Direct Synthesis of Indole over Novel Ag/SiO2 Catalyst

Indole is an important heterocycle substance which could be used to produce indigo dye, perfume, forage additive and tryptophan[1～3]. Although there are some methods to produce indole[4], one of the most promising routes, from an industrial point of view, seems to be the direct synthesis from aniline and ethylene glycol[5]. This is a one step reaction from reactants to indole and the starting materials are inexpensive.

Capacitive position measurement for high-precision space inertial sensor

Low noise position measurement is fundamental for space inertial sensors, and at present the capacitive position sensor is widely employed for space inertial sensors. The design for the possible suppression of the front-end electric noises for a capacitive sensor is presented. A prototype capacitive sensor with 2×10⁻⁶pF/Hz1/2 at frequency above 0.04 Hz is achieved and further improvements are discussed.
