Cellular NADH and NADPH Conformation as a Real-Time Fluorescence-Based Metabolic Indicator under Pressurized Conditions

Cellular conformation of reduced pyridine nucleotides NADH and NADPH sensed using autofluorescence spectroscopy is presented as a real-time metabolic indicator under pressurized conditions. The approach provides information on the role of pressure in energy metabolism and antioxidant defense with applications in agriculture and food technologies. Here, we use spectral phasor analysis on UV-excited autofluorescence from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker’s yeast) to assess the involvement of one or multiple NADH- or NADPH-linked pathways based on the presence of two-component spectral behavior during a metabolic response. To demonstrate metabolic monitoring under pressure, we first present the autofluorescence response to cyanide (a respiratory inhibitor) at 32 MPa. Although ambient and high-pressure responses remain similar, pressure itself also induces a response that is consistent with a change in cellular redox state and ROS production. Next, as an example of an autofluorescence response altered by pressurization, we investigate the response to ethanol at ambient, 12 MPa, and 30 MPa pressure. Ethanol (another respiratory inhibitor) and cyanide induce similar responses at ambient pressure. The onset of non-two-component spectral behavior upon pressurization suggests a change in the mechanism of ethanol action. Overall, results point to new avenues of investigation in piezophysiology by providing a way of visualizing metabolism and mitochondrial function under pressurized conditions.     

Fine-structure energy levels, oscillator strengths and lifetimes in Co XV

Excitation energies from ground state for 97 fine-structure levels as well as oscillator strengths and radiative decay rates for all electric-dipole-allowed and intercombination transitions among the fine-structure levels of the terms belonging to the (1s ²2s ²2p ⁶)3s ²3p, 3s ³ p ², 3s ²3d, 3p ³, 3s3p3d, 3p ²3d, 3s3d ², 3s ²4s, 3s ²4p, 3s ²4d, 3s ²4f, and 3s3p4s configurations of Co XV are calculated, using extensive configuration-interaction (CI) wave functions, obtained with the CIV3 computer code of Hibbert. The important relativistic effects in intermediate coupling are included through the Breit-Pauli approximation via spin-orbit, spin-other-orbit, spin-spin, Darwin and mass correction terms. Small adjustments to the diagonal elements of the Hamiltonian matrices have been made. Our calculated excitation energies, including their ordering, are in excellent agreement with the experimental results and the experimentally compiled energy values of the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) wherever available. The mixing among several fine-structure levels is found to be very strong, with most of the strongly mixed levels belonging to the (1s ²2s ²2p ⁶)3p ²3d and 3s3d ² configurations. The strong mixing among several fine-structure levels makes it very difficult to identify them uniquely. Perhaps, that may be the reason for the lack of both experimental and theoretical results for these levels. We believe that our extensive calculated values can guide experimentalists in identifying the fine-structure levels in their future work. From our radiative decay rates we have also calculated radiative lifetimes of some fine-structure levels. In this calculation we also predict new data for several fine-structure levels where no other theoretical and/or experimental results are available.     

Nitrosubstituted hydroxamate ligands in new triphenyltin(IV) complexes as prospective antimicrobial agents

New triphenyltin(IV) hydroxamate complexes, [Ph₃Sn(4-NO₂CnH)] and [Ph₃Sn(4-NO₂BzH)] have been synthesized by the reactions of Ph₃SnCl with potassium 4-nitrocinnamo hydroxamate [4-NO₂C₆H₄CHCHCONHOK] (KHL¹) and potassium 4-nitro benzohydroxamate [4-NO₂C₆H4CONHOK] (KHL²). The complexes were synthesized in 1:1 molar ratio in MeOH?+?C₆H₆ and characterized by physicochemical and IR, ¹H NMR, and mass spectrometry. The bidentate hydroxamate involving bonding through carbonyl and hydroxamic oxygen (O, O coordination) has been inferred from IR spectra. The electrochemical behavior of complexes has been analyzed. Quasi-irreversible two electron metal-centered cathodic process of type Sn^IV/Sn^II redox couple was indicated by cyclic voltammetric technique. The thermal behavior of 1 and 2 studied by TGA has shown continuous decomposition to yield Sn + 0.5SnO₂ and SnO₂ as final residues. The in vitro antimicrobial activity assays of 1 and 2 against pathogenic Gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus), Gram-negative bacteria (Salmonella typhi and Pseudomonas aeruginosa), and fungi (Aspergillus fumigatus and Alternaria alternata) were done by MIC method. The complexes have exhibited appreciable antimicrobial activity relative to the respective standard Gentamycin and Nystatin drugs.

Recognition of dicarboxylates in aqueous acetonitrile by a dinuclear zinc(II) complex of 2,2’-binaphthalene-based receptor

Molecular recognition of dicarboxylates by a dinuclear zinc(II) complex of 2,2?-binaphthalene bearing di(2-pyridyl)aminomethyl groups at 8- and 8?-positions ([Zn₂L]⁴⁺) by UV-vis and fluorescence spectral titrations in an aqueous solvent was investigated. In a series of α,ω-dicarboxylate, receptor [Zn₂L]⁴⁺ showed the highest binding affinity for succinate and UV-vis and fluorescence changes were also largest upon the addition of this guest. In a series of phthalate derivatives, phthalate was strongly bound by [Zn₂L]⁴⁺. The characteristic UV-vis and fluorescence changes strongly depend on the dihedral angle of two naphthyl groups of the complex [Zn₂L]⁴⁺· dicarboxylate estimated by spectral titrations and DFT calculations.     

Determination of multiple pesticide residues in teas by gas chromatography with accurate time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry

In this work, gas chromatography tandem with electron ionization and full‐scan high‐resolution mass spectrometry with a time‐of‐flight mass analyzer was evaluated for analyzing pesticide residues in teas. The relevant aspects for mass spectrometry analysis, including the resolution and mass accuracy, acquisition rate, temperature of ion source, were investigated. Under acquisition condition in 2‐GHz extended dynamic range mode, accurate mass spectral library including 184 gas chromatography detectable pesticides was established and retrieval parameters were optimized. The mass spectra were consistent over a wide concentration range (three orders) with good match values to those of NIST (EI‐quadrupole). The methodology was verified by the validation of 184 pesticides in four tea matrices. A wide linear range (1–1000 μg/kg) was obtained for most compounds in four matrices. Limit of detection, limit of quantification, and limit of identification values acquired in this study could satisfy the requirements for maximum residue levels prescribed by the European Community. Recovery studies were performed at three concentrations (10, 50, and 100 μg/kg). Most of the analytes were recovered at an acceptable range of 70–120% with relative standard deviations ≤ 20% in four matrices. The potential extension of qualitative screening scope makes gas chromatography tandem with electron ionization and mass spectrometry with a time‐of‐flight mass analyzer a more powerful tool compared with gas chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry.     

Guidelines for tuning the macropore structure of monolithic columns for high‐performance liquid chromatography

The ability to control the external porosity and to tune the dimensions of the macropore size on multiple length scales provides the possibility of tailoring the monolithic support structure towards separation performance. This paper discusses the properties of conventional polymer–monolithic stationary phases and its limitations regarding the effects of morphology on kinetic performance. Furthermore, guidelines to improve the macropore structure are discussed. The optimal monolithic macropore structure is characterized by high external porosity (while maintaining ultra‐high‐pressure stability), high structure homogeneity, polymer globule clusters in the submicron range, and macropores with a diameter tuned toward speed (small diameter in the 100–500 nm range using short beds) or efficiency (larger macropores in the range of 500 nm–1 μm allowing the use of longer column formats). Finally, promising approaches to control the morphology are discussed.     

Nine components pharmacokinetic study of rat plasma after oral administration raw and prepared Semen Cassiae in normal and acute liver injury rats

In China, Semen Cassiae has long been used to protect liver, brighten eyes, and relieve constipation. Prepared Semen Cassiae is produced from raw Semen Cassiae by processing, the two forms of Semen Cassiae have different clinical applications. Pathological state is an important factor affecting the efficacy of drugs, the pharmacokinetic behavior of drugs could be significantly changed when people or animal were under different pathological state. To clarify the effect of processing mechanism and pathological state for pharmacokinetic behavior, the pharmacokinetics of nine components of raw and prepared Semen Cassiae under normal and acute liver injury rats were examined. The results showed that the bimodal phenomenon appeared on the plasma concentration‐time profiles of obtusin, emodin, chrysophanol, aloe emodin and rhein. The T_max of aurantio‐obtusin, obtusin, chrysoobtusin, emodin, chrysophanol, aloe emodin, physcion in normal groups administrated prepared Semen Cassiae were shorter than those administrated raw Semen Cassiae. For the AUC_0–t, aurantio‐obtusin, obtusin, chrysoobtusin, chrysophanol, aloe emodin and physcione in model groups administrated prepared Semen Cassiae were significantly higher than other groups, unlike above components, rhein had poor absorption in model groups. The study would be useful for further studies on pharmacokinetics and clinical application of raw and prepared Semen Cassiae.
