Therapeutic efficiency and hemolytic toxicity of primaquine (PQ), the only drug available for radical cure of relapsing vivax malaria are believed to be mediated by its metabolites. However, identification of these metabolites has remained a major challenge apparently due to low quantities and their reactive nature. Drug candidates labeled with stable isotopes afford convenient tools for tracking drug‐derived metabolites in complex matrices by liquid chromatography‐tandem mass spectrometry (LC‐MS‐MS) and filtering for masses with twin peaks attributable to the label. This study was undertaken to identify metabolites of PQ from an in vitro incubation of a 1:1 w/w mixture of 13C6‐PQ/PQ with primary human hepatocytes. Acquity ultra‐performance LC (UHPLC) was integrated with QTOF‐MS to combine the efficiency of separation with high sensitivity, selectivity of detection and accurate mass determination. UHPLC retention time, twin mass peaks with difference of 6 (originating from 13C6‐PQ/PQ), and MS‐MS fragmentation pattern were used for phenotyping. Besides carboxy‐PQ (cPQ), formed by oxidative deamination of PQ to an aldehyde and subsequent oxidation, several other metabolites were identified: including PQ alcohol, predictably generated by oxidative deamination of PQ to an aldehyde and subsequent reduction, its acetate and the alcohol's glucuronide conjugate. Trace amounts of quinone‐imine metabolites of PQ and cPQ were also detected which may be generated by hydroxylation of the PQ/cPQ quinoline ring at the 5‐position and subsequent oxidation. These findings shed additional light on the human hepatic metabolism of PQ, and the method can be applied for identification of reactive PQ metabolites generated in vivo in preclinical and clinical studies.

Many plant species are able to acclimate to changes in ultraviolet-B radiation (UVB) (290-320 nm) exposure. Due to the wide range of targets of UVB, plants have evolved diverse repair and protection mechanisms. These include increased biosynthesis of UVB screening compounds, elevated antioxidant activity and increased rates of DNA repair. We have shown previously that Brassica napus L. cv Topas plants can acclimate quite effectively to environmentally relevant increases in UVB through the accumulation of specific flavonoids in the leaf epidermis. However, B. napus was found to lose other flavonoids when plants are exposed to ultraviolet-A radiation (UVA) (320-400 nm) and/or UVB (Wilson et al. [1998] Photochem. Photobiol. 67, 547-553). In this study we demonstrate that the levels of all the extractable flavonoids in the leaves of B. napus plants are decreased in a dose-dependent manner in response to UVA exposure. Additionally, the accumulation of the extractable flavonoids was examined following a shift from photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) + UVA to PAR + UVB to assess if preexposure to UVA affected UVB-induced flavonoid accumulation. UVA preexposures were found to impede UVB-induced accumulation of some flavonoids. This down regulation was particularly evident for quercetin-3-O-sophoroside and quercetin-3-O-sophoroside-7-O-glucoside, which is interesting because quercetins have been demonstrated to be induced by UVB and correlated with UVB tolerance in some plant species. The photobiological nature of these UVA-mediated effects on flavonoid accumulation implies complex interactions between UVA and UVB responses. 相似文献

Abstract This report describes the first application of nitroxide spin labels to the study of structure and function relationships in RUBP carboxylase. RUBPCase (EC 4.1.1.39) is known to be allosterically regulated by several metabolites. Lorimerc et al. (1) characterized the activation kinetics of RUBPCase by CO2 and Mg2+ and its inhibition by RUBP. Chu and Bassham (2, 3, 4) showed that effectors such as NADPH and PGA stimulated the enzyme only when present in the preincubation medium containing HCO? 3 and Mg2+. Buchanan and Schurmann (5) and Vater and Salinkow (6) reported activation of carboxylase activity by fructose-6-phosphate and 6-phosphoglucon teal. Evidence for structural changes in RUBPCase upon binding of ligands has been reported. Kwok and Wildman (7) provided evidence of a conformational change in tobacco RUBPCase induced by the binding of RUBP which was recently supported by Grebanier et al. (8). 相似文献

Magnetic monopoles have attracted the attention of physicists since the founding of the electromagnetic theory. Their search
has been a constant endeavor which was intensified when Dirac established the relation between the existence of monopoles
and charge quantization. However, these searches have been unsuccessful. We have recently proposed that monopolium, a monopole–antimonopole
bound state, so strongly bound that it has a relatively small mass, could be easier to find and become an indirect but clear
signature for the existence of magnetic monopoles. Here we extend our previous analysis for its production to two photon fusion
at LHC energies. 相似文献

A multichannel S-matrix framework for singular quantum mechanics (SQM) subsumes the renormalization and self-adjoint extension methods and resolves its boundary-condition ambiguities. In addition to the standard channel accessible to a distant (“asymptotic”) observer, one supplementary channel opens up at each coordinate singularity, where local outgoing and ingoing singularity waves coexist. The channels are linked by a fully unitary S-matrix, which governs all possible scenarios, including cases with an apparent nonunitary behavior as viewed from asymptotic distances. 相似文献

Plectonema boryanum UTEX 485 cells were grown at 29 degrees C and 150 mumol m-2 s-1 photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and exposed to PAR combined with ultraviolet-A radiation (UV-A) at 15 degrees C. This induced a time-dependent inhibition of photosystem II (PSII) photochemistry measured as a decrease of the chlorophyll a fluorescence ratio, Fv/Fm, to 50% after 2 h of UV-A treatment compared to nontreated control cells. Exposure of the same cells to PAR combined with UV-A + ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B) caused only a 30% inhibition of PSII photochemistry relative to nontreated cells. In contrast, UV-A and UV-A + UV-B irradiation of cells cultured at 15 degrees C and 150 mumol m-2 s-1 had minimal effects on the Fv/Fm values. However, cells grown at 15 degrees C and lower PAR irradiance (6 mumol m-2 s-1) exhibited similar inhibition patterns of PSII photochemistry as control cells. The decreased sensitivity of PSII photochemistry of P. boryanum grown at 15 degrees C and 150 mumol m-2 s-1 to subsequent exposure to UV radiation relative to either control cells or cells grown at low temperature but low irradiance was correlated with the following: (1) a reduced efficiency of energy transfer to PSII reaction centers; (2) higher levels of a carotenoid tentatively identified as myxoxanthophyll; (3) the accumulation of scytonemin and mycosporine amino acids; and (4) the accumulation of ATP-dependent caseinolytic proteases. Thus, acclimation of P. boryanum at low temperature and moderate irradiance appears to confer significant resistance to UV-induced photoinhibition of PSII. The role of excitation pressure in the induction of this resistance to UV radiation is discussed. 相似文献

Unsteady flow in a semi-infinite contracting or expanding pipeis reinvestigated using long series analysis. The proposed seriesmethod is useful in analysing the problem for a moderately largeconstant ( = aa/, where a = a(t), the radius of the pipe isa function of time, a(t) is the velocity of the wall, and iskinematic viscosity). For positive values of (expansion ofthe pipe) accuracy of the series representing shear stress andpressure gradient is increased from = 2.89 to = 6.0 by extractingthe singularity followed by completion of the series. For negativevalues of (contraction of the pipe), we revert the series whichresults into the increase of the region of validity of the transposedseries from = -25.0 to = -2.89. Later we use Padé approximantsfor summing them. Also, the asymptotic solution for large valuesof is obtained and it agrees closely with pure numerical valuesof shear stress at the wall and pressure gradient. 相似文献

A unified S-matrix framework of quantum singular interactions is presented for the comparison of self-adjoint extensions and physical renormalization. For the long-range conformal interaction the two methods are not equivalent, with renormalization acting as selector of a preferred extension and regulator of the unbounded Hamiltonian. 相似文献
