Flavylium chromophores as species markers for dragon's blood resins from Dracaena and Daemonorops trees

A simple and rapid liquid chromatographic method with diode-array UV-vis spectrophotometric detection has been developed for the authentication of dragon's blood resins from Dracaena and Daemonorops trees. Using this method it was discovered that the flavylium chromophores, which contribute to the red colour of these resins, differ among the species and could be used as markers to differentiate among species. A study of parameters, such as time of extraction, proportion of MeOH and pH, was undertaken to optimise the extraction of the flavyliums. This method was then used to make extracts from samples of dragon's blood resin obtained from material of known provenance. From the samples analysed 7,6-dihydroxy-5-methoxyflavylium (dracorhodin), 7,4'-dihydroxy-5-methoxyflavylium (dracoflavylium) and 7,4'-dihydroxyflavylium were selected as species markers for Daemonorops spp., Dracaena draco and Dracaena cinnabari, respectively. The chromatograms from these samples were used to build an HPLC-DAD database. The ability to discriminate among species of dragon's blood using the single marker compounds was compared with a principal components analysis of the chromatograms in the HPLC-DAD database. The results from the HPLC-DAD method based on the presence of these flavylium markers was unequivocal. The HPLC-DAD method was subsequently applied to 37 samples of dragon blood resins from the historical samples in the Economic Botany Collection, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. The method identified anomalies in how samples in this collection had been labelled. It is clear that the method can be used to evaluate the provenance of samples used in different areas of cultural heritage. It also could be used to monitor the trade of endangered species of dragon's blood and the species being used in complex formulations of traditional Chinese medicine.     

A note on certain matrices with h(x) – Fibonacci quaternion polynomials

In this paper we consider a g – circulant, right circulant, left circulant and a special kind of a tridiagonal matrices whose entries are h(x) – Fibonacci quaternion polynomials. We present the determinant of these matrices and with the tridiagonal matrices we show that the determinant is equal to the nth term of the h(x) – Fibonacci quaternion polynomial sequences.

Determination of Cd and Pb in biological reference materials by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry: A comparison of three ultrasonic-based sample treatment procedures

Three different ultrasonic-based sample treatment approaches, the automated ultrasonic slurry sampling, the ultrasonic assisted acid solid-liquid extraction (ASLE) and the enzymatic probe sonication (EPS) were compared and discussed for the determination of Cd and Pb by ET-AAS in biological reference materials. The sample mass chosen to perform the analysis was 10 mg and the liquid volume was 1 ml of nitric acid 1 M. The best results were obtained with the slurry procedure with which it was possible accurate and precise determination of the Cd and Pb content in four of the five reference materials studied. Optimum performance (total metal extraction) of ASLE assisted by ultrasound for Cd was only achieved in two of the four materials assessed whereas total Pb recovery was only possible in three of the five samples. Total extraction with the enzymatic probe sonication was only obtained for Cd in oyster tissue. Neither ASLE nor EPS were able to extract Cd or Pb from spruce needles. Pb concentration obtained after EPS was found to be highly dependent from sample centrifugation speed and time.     

Identification of 7,4'-dihydroxy-5-methoxyflavylium in "Dragon's blood": to be or not to be an anthocyanin

The compound 7,4'-dihydroxy-5-methoxyflavylium (dracoflavylium) was identified as the major red colorant in samples of the resin "dragon's blood", extracted from the tree Dracaena draco. The complex network of reversible chemical reactions that dracoflavylium undergoes in aqueous solution is fully described; for the first time, all the equilibrium constants that enable a complete characterisation of the system have been obtained (K'(a)=1.6 x 10(-4), K(a1)=1.0 x 10(-4), K(a2)=3.2 x 10(-8), K(Ct1)=1.0 x 10(-7), K(Ct2)=1.3 x 10(-10)). It is concluded that the red colour is due to a stable quinoid base, A, which is the major species at pH 4-7. It is further shown that this compound does not fit the commonly accepted definitions of anthocyanidin nor 3-deoxyanthocyanidin. Similarly to synthetic flavylium salts, the natural compound 7,4'-dihydroxy-5-methoxyflavylium gives rise to several species (multistate system) reversibly interconverted by external stimuli, such as pH.

Triblock copolymer Pluronic®F127 sustains insulin release and reduces initial burst of microspheres—in vitro and in vivo study

In many cases, initial release of drugs from microparticles is undesirable. In the present study, Pluronic^®F127, which shows thermosensitive characteristic, was used for controlling both the initial release and the sustained release of insulin from microspheres. Calcium-alginate insulin microspheres were prepared by emulsion technology and dispersed in a thermosensitive semisolid gel, the PF127. In vitro study demonstrated that PF127 could protect the activity of insulin in some extent and control the initial release and sustained release of insulin well. The results of in vivo hypoglycemic experiment carried out on diabetic rats also displayed a well correlation with in vitro release patterns. The results suggested that PF127 could sustain insulin release through a subcutaneous injection, and this material was available to deliver insulin aiming for prolonged and smooth hypoglycemic function.

Neutron diffraction and computer simulation study of liquid CS2 and CSe2

The structure factor of liquid CS₂ has been measured at ambient temperature by the 7C2 diffractometer at the Laboratoire Leon Brillouin?, Saclay, France. The result has been modelled by the reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) method. The only reported neutron diffraction measurement on liquid CSe₂ has also been investigated in detail. In both cases initial configurations for the RMC runs have been obtained by molecular dynamics simulation using a simple soft sphere potential. It has been found that the main features of experimental results have been reproduced even by this choice suggesting that the structure of these systems is almost entirely described by the excluded volume. Examination of model size dependence of results has also been carried out revealing the importance of using large simulation boxes.
