Metabolomics method based on ultra high performance liquid chromatography with time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry to analyze toxins in fresh and dried toad venom

Drying is a critical step to prolong the storage time in natural medicine processing but it changes the chemical characteristics of the product. In this study, research was performed to characterize the metabolomic changes in toad venom induced by vacuum‐drying at 60°C and air‐drying at room temperature by ultra high performance liquid chromatography coupled with pattern recognition approaches. In total 52 metabolites, down‐regulated or up‐regulated, were identified as potential chemical markers. Compared with fresh toad venom, vacuum‐drying at 60°C succeeded in raising the conjugated‐type bufadienolide content significantly, while the content of free‐type bufadienolides were slightly reduced. On the other hand, toad venom air‐dried at room temperature presented a relatively low amount of bufadienolides compared with fresh venom. For example, the content of several known anti‐tumor components (gamabufotalin, bufotalin, cinobufagin, etc.) were significantly reduced. The 3‐(4,5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐2,5‐diphenyltetrazolium bromide bioassay further showed that venom air‐dried at room temperature had weaker anti‐tumor activity on human hepatocellular carcinoma SMMC‐7721 proliferation in vitro than samples vacuum‐dried at 60°C. These results showed that the great metabolomic changes of toad venom occurred during the drying process, suggesting that a proper drying procedure is important for sustaining the chemical quality of natural medicines.     

Ultrasensitive photometric and visual determination of organophosphorus pesticides based on the inhibition of enzyme-triggered formation of core-shell gold-silver nanoparticles

The authors describe a colorimetric assay for the determination of organophosphorous pesticides (OPPs) based on enzyme-triggered deposition of silver nanoparticles on the surface of gold nanoparticles (AuNP). In this method, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) catalyzes the dephosphorylation of the substrate p-aminophenyl phosphate (p-APP) to form p-aminophenol (p-AP) which is capable of reducing Ag(I) ion to Ag metal which is spontaneously deposited on the surface of AuNP to form Au@Ag NPs. As a result, the color of the colloidal solution first changes from red to yellow, and then to gray with further increases in the thickness of the Ag shell. This can be detected visually or by spectrophotometry. OPPs act as inhibitors of ALP so that the dephosphorylation of p-APP is blocked and silver deposition on the AuNP is retarded or completely suppressed. As a result, the color change from red to yellow is less distinct. This finding forms the basis for the determination of OPPs. Under optimum conditions, the absorbance at 370 nm depends linearly on the logarithm of inhibitor concentration over the ranges from 0.05 to 500 μg?L^?1 and from 0.1 to  500 μg?L^?1, with detection limits of 0.025 μg?L^?1 for methamidophos and 0.036 μg?L^?1 for malathion (at an S/N ratio of 3). Both values are much lower than the maximum residue limits specified in the U.S. Department of Agriculture and European Union pesticide regulations. The validation and practicability of this method for the measurement of OPPs was demonstrated by analyzing (spiked) tap water and lake water.

Graphical abstract The alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity is inhibited by organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs). As a result, the ALP-trigged formation of core-shell gold-silver nanoparticles depends on the amount of OPPs, which showed different absorbances and colors.

     

Facile One-Pot,Multicomponent Synthesis of Pyridines Under Microwave Irradiation

A series of 2-amino-6-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)-4-pyridine-3-carbo-nitriles were synthesized by the one-pot, multicomponent reaction of 3-acetyl-coumarin, aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile, and ammonium acetate in acetic acid under microwave irradiation. The reactions were completed in 10–13 min with 61–86% yields, were environmental benign, and had easy workup. Their structures were confirmed by ¹H NMR, IR, and MS spectra and elemental analysis.     

Gold Nanoparticles Functionalized by a Dextran‐Based pH‐ and Temperature‐Sensitive Polymer

A dextran‐based dual‐sensitive polymer is employed to endow gold nanoparticles with stability and pH‐ and temperature‐sensitivity. The dual‐sensitive polymer is prepared by RAFT polymerization of N‐isopropylacrylamide from trithiocarbonate groups linked to dextran and succinoylation of dextran after polymerization. The functionalized nanoparticles show excellent stability under various conditions and can be stored in powder‐form. UV and DLS measurements confirm that the temperature‐induced optical changes and aggregation behaviors of the particles are strongly dependent on pH.

Ultrasensitive fluorescence detection of glutaraldehyde in water samples with bovine serum albumin-Au nanoclusters

Based on the cross-linking nature of BSA in the presence of glutaraldehyde (GA), the fluorescence of BSA-stabilized Au nanoclusters was effectively quenched by GA. A new method for ultrasensitive GA detection in water samples was thus developed with fluorescent BSA-stabilized Au nanoclusters. The fluorescence quenching of BSA-stabilized Au nanoclusters in the presence of GA fitted to Stern-Volmer equation. In the GA concentration range of 0.8–6 μM, a linear relationship of F₀/F versus GA concentration was obtained with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.2 μM. The relative standard deviation of 5 replicate measurements of 4 μM GA is 1.3%. This method shows good selectivity over other organics in water samples. The feasibility of the new sensor for GA in different water samples was demonstrated.     

Research progress on pesticide residue detection based on microfluidic technology

The problem of pesticide residue contamination has attracted widespread attention and poses a risk to human health. The current traditional pesticide residue detection methods have difficulty meeting rapid and diverse field screening requirements. Microfluidic technology integrates functions from sample preparation to detection, showing great potential for quick and accurate high-throughput detection of pesticide residues. This paper reviews the latest research progress on microfluidic technology for pesticide residue detection. First, the commonly used microfluidic materials are summarized, including silicon, glass, paper, polydimethylsiloxane, and polymethyl methacrylate. We evaluated their advantages and disadvantages in pesticide residue detection applications. Second, the current pesticide residue detection technology based on microfluidics and its application to real samples are summarized. Finally, we discuss this technology's present challenges and future research directions. This study is expected to provide a reference for the future development of microfluidic technology for pesticide residue detection.     

Developing cold-resistant high-adhesive electronic substrate for WIMPs detectors at CDEX

Herein we report a prototypical electronic substrate specifically designed to serve the weakly interacting massive particles(WIMPs)detectors at the China Dark Matter Experiment(CDEX).Because the bulky high-purity germanium(HPGe)detectors operate under liquid-nitrogen temperatures and ultralow radiation backgrounds,the desired electronic substrates must maintain high adhesivity across different layers in such cold environment and be free from any radioactive nuclides.To conquer these challenges,for the first time,we employed polytetrafluoroethylene((C2F4)n)foil as the base substrate,in conjunction with ion implantation and deposition techniques using an independently developed device at Beijing Normal University for surface modification prior to electroplating.The remarkable peeling strengths of 0.88±0.06 N/mm for as-prepared sample and 0.75±0.05 N/mm for that after 2.5-days of soaking inside the liquid nitrogen were observed,while the regular standards commonly require 0.4 N/mm^0.6 N/mm for electronic substrates.
