Liquid Chromatography-Electrospray Quadrupole Linear Ion Trap Mass Spectrometric Method for Quantitation of Domperidone in Chinese Healthy Volunteers

A rapid,sensitive,and accurate method based on LC/MS/MS was developed and validated for the determination of domperidone in human plasma.Domperidone and internal standard,tramadol,were extracted from plasma with diethyl ether-dichloromethane(60∶40,volume ratio)and separated by reversed-phase HPLC with methanol-water-ammonia solution(80∶20∶0.2,volume ratio)as the mobile phase.Detection was carried out via multiple-reaction monitoring(MRM)on a Q-trapTM LC/MS/MS system(Q-trapTM).The assay result was linear over a concentration range of 0.1-30 ng/mL with a limit of quantitation(LOQ)of 0.1 ng/mL.The inter-and intra-day precision levels were within 7.52% and 12.9%,respectively,whereas the accuracy was within a range of 87.3%-114%.This method has been successfully applied to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of domperidone in Chinese healthy volunteers given an oral dose of 10 mg.

Synthesis, Structure and Optical Properties of Cerium(Ⅲ) Triphosphate CeP3O9

The single crystal and crystallized powder of triphosphate CeP3O9 have been synthesized, and the space group of CeP3O9 has been determined to be C2221 with the cell parameters ofa = 8.6059, b = 11.2437, c = 7.3518 (A), V= 711.4(3) (A)3, Z= 4, Dc = 3.520 g/cm3, F(000) = 700,R = 0.0377 and wR = 0.0930. The absorption and emission spectra have been measured, for which the strongest absorption and emission peaks are located at 280 and 320 nm, respectively. The density of state (DOS) and dielectric function have been calculated by the DFT method. The crystal is transparent provided the wavelength is larger than 341 nm, and the observed ultraviolet cut-off edge is at about 350 nm for a polycrystalline power sample. It is possible that the triphosphate CeP3O9 will become an ultraviolet emission material.

Frontispiz: Mild and Versatile Nitrate‐Promoted C?H Bond Fluorination

A novel and facile C H bond fluorination proceeds under remarkably mild conditions (close to room temperature in most cases). Both aromatic and olefinic C(sp²) H bonds with a wide range of electronic properties are selectively fluorinated in the presence of a catalytic amount of simple, cheap, and nontoxic nitrate as the promoter. A Pd^II/Pd^IV catalytic cycle that is initiated by an in situ generated cationic [Pd(NO₃)]⁺ species was proposed based on preliminary mechanistic studies.     

Charge transfer and electron backdonation in metallofullerenes encapsulating NSc3

Orbital interaction analysis is employed to understand the complex charge transfer mechanism operative in endohedral metallofullerenes of composition NSc₃@C_n (n = 68, 78). This phenomenon combines substantial electron transfer from the core to the cage with electron backdonation, involving the interaction between the occupied orbitals of the negatively charged cage and the unoccupied d orbitals of the positively charged core. This electron backdonation differs fundamentally from conventional orbital hybridization, which takes place primarily between the HOMO of the metal core and the LUMO of the fullerene cage. These findings imply the pronounced stability of NSc₃@C_n (n = 68, 78), especially for NSc₃ encapsulated in the non-IPR C₆₈ enclosure, as experimentally established.     

Interaction of m-nitrophenylfluorone-Mo(VI) complex as a probe with human serum albumin: a fluorescence quenching study

In this paper, the binding characteristics of human serum albumin (HSA) and m-nitrophenylfluorone (m-NPF)-molybdenum (Mo(VI)) complex have been studied by fluorophotometry. The binding constants are measured at different temperature. Based on the theory of Forster energy transfer, the binding distance and the energy transfer efficiency between m-nitrophenylfluorone-Mo(VI) complex and protein are obtained. According to the thermodynamic parameters, the main sort of binding force can be judged. The results indicate that HSA and m-NPF-Mo(VI) complex have strong interactions. The mechanism of quenching belongs to static quenching and the main sort of binding force is electrostatic gravitation.     

Fabrication and characterization of hexagonal mesoporous silica monolith via post-synthesized hydrothermal process

Large-sized, optical transparent mesostructured Brij 56/silica monolith has been fabricated using a lyotropic liquid crystal of Brij 56 (C₁₆EO₁₀) as a template and TMOS as a silica source, combined with a optimizing sol-gel process and a hydrothermal aging process. By programmed temperature drying and calcinations, translucent mesoporous silica monolith with two-dimensional hexagonal structure (P6mm) has bee obtained. The ordered mesoporous silica monoliths have been characterized by small-angle X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and nitrogen adsorption, which shows that the materials have a highly ordered two-dimensional hexagonal mesostructure with the high specific surface area of 837 m² · g⁻¹ and narrow pore distribution with a mean BJH pore diameter of 2.73 nm. Based on calculations and differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analyses, the action mechanism of the hydrothermal aging process has been proposed: the 100°C hydrothermal conditions and autogenous 2.3 atm pressure promote the condensation and dehydration of silanol groups, with the result that cross-linking degree, the flaws and moisture content in gels are reduced notably. Those processes guarantee the integrity of gels in the following drying process.     

Improved resolution in two-dimensional 1H NMR spectra of peptides by band-selective, homonuclear decoupling during both the evolution and acquisition periods: application to characterization of the binding of peptides by heparin

Two-dimensional 1H NMR experiments that achieve band-selective, homonuclear decoupling in both the indirectly detected F1 and directly detected F2 dimensions were used to assign the highly overlapped 1H NMR spectrum of the peptide Ac-SRGKARVRAKVKDQTK-NH2, both free in solution and bound to heparin. Band-selective, homonuclear decoupling during the evolution period was achieved using a double pulsed field gradient spin-echo (DPFGSE) with semi-selective shaped pulses; band-selective, homonuclear decoupling during the acquisition period was achieved by time-shared semi-selective shaped pulse decoupling. Regular TOCSY, ROESY and NOESY spectra and TOCSY, ROESY and NOESY spectra measured with band-selective, homonuclear decoupling in the evolution (F1) dimension (BASHD-TOCSY, ROESY and NOESY spectra) and with band-selective, homonuclear decoupling in both the F1 and F2 dimensions (D-(or Double)-BASHD-TOCSY, ROESY and NOESY spectra) are reported and compared for the peptide and its heparin complex. Complete assignment of the 1H-NMR spectra of the free and heparin-complexed peptide was achieved with the high resolution of the D-BASHD-TOCSY, ROESY and NOESY spectra. Characterization of the heparin-complexed peptide is of interest because of the ability of the peptide to neutralize the anticoagulant activity of heparin.
