To meet growing needs for high throughput gene expression profiling, we established a new automated high throughput TaqMan RT-PCR method for quantitative mRNA expression analysis. In this method, the Allegro( trade mark ) (Zymark) system conducts all sample tracking and liquid handling steps, and ABI PRISM 7900 HT (Applied Biosystems) is used to conduct real-time determination of the C(t) value when amplification of PCR products is first detected and accumulation of inhibitory PCR products is unlikely to occur. The ABI PRISM 7900 HT Sequence Detection System features a real-time PCR instrument with 384-well-plate compatibility and robotic loading, and continuous wavelength detection, which enables the use of multiple fluorophores in a single reaction. The Allegro System offers an assembly line approach with a modular design that allows reconfiguration of the components to accommodate variations in the assay flow. In the present study, we have established and validated a new automated High Throughput (HT) TaqMan RT-PCR- based method for quantitative mRNA expression analysis. The data demonstrate that HT-Taqman PCR is a powerful tool that can be used for measuring low concentrations of mRNA, and is highly accurate, reproducible, and amenable to high throughput analysis. Results suggest that HT-TaqMan is a reliable method for the quantification of low-expression genes and a powerful tool with HT capability for target identification/validation, structure-activity relationship (SAR) study, compound selection for efficacy studies, and biomarker identification in drug discovery and development. 相似文献

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.

A quantum dynamical equation is constructed as the limit of a sequence of functions (called Semiquantum momentum functions or SQMF). The quantum action variable J is defined as the limit of the sequence of contour integrals of SQMFs such that the quantization condition is J = n, where n is a nonnegative integer for eigenvalues and a noninteger for off eigenvalues. This quantization condition is exact and J is an analytic function of energy. Based on new definitions, an accurate numerical method is developed for obtaining eigenenergies. The method can be applied to both real and PT symmetric complex potentials. The validity and the accuracy of this new method is demonstrated with three illustrations. 相似文献

The clinical formulation of primaquine (PQ) is a mixture of (−)‐(R)‐ and (+)‐(S)‐ primaquine enantiomers which may show different pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties. To assess the efficacy and toxicity of primaquine enantiomers, a method using LC‐MSD‐TOF has been developed. The enantiomers were well separated using a Chiralcel OD column (250 × 4.6 mm, 10 µm) with a linear gradient of mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile (0.1% formic acid) and aqueous ammonium formate (20 mm ; 0.1% formic acid) adjusted to pH 5.9 at a flow rate of 0.7 mL/min. The method was validated for linearity, precision, accuracy and limits of detection and quantification. The calibration curves were linear with all correlation coefficients being >0.999. The average recoveries of (−)‐(R)‐ and (+)‐(S)‐primaquine and (−)‐(R)‐ and (+)‐(S)‐carboxyprimaquine were 88 and 92%, respectively, in spiked human plasma and 89 and 93% respectively in spiked mouse plasma samples. The RSD of (−)‐(R)‐ and (+)‐(S)‐primaquine and (−)‐(R)‐ and (+)‐(S)‐carboxyprimaquine were 2.15, 1.74, 1.73 and 2.31, respectively, in spiked human plasma and 2.21, 1.09, 1.95 and 1.17% in spiked mouse plasma, respectively. The intra‐day and inter‐day precisions expressed as RSD were lower than 10% in all analyzed quality control levels. The method as reported is suitable for study of the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of the enantiomers of primaquine. The method was successfully applied to study plasma pharmacokinetic profile of enantiomers of primaquine and carboxyprimaquine in mice administered with primaquine in racemic form. The analytical method was found to be linear, accurate, precise and specific. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

A new analytical detector based on a liquid drop resistor–capacitor (RC) filter is described, in which transformed gain vs. frequency curves are used to analyze compounds. This detector can be used to detect either charged or neutral species (that are dielectrically
different) which are dissolved in a liquid (e.g., water, alcohol, solvent mixtures, etc.). This device was fabricated by modifying
an electrowetting on dielectric (EWOD)-based experimental setup. When a liquid drop is placed on a dielectric surface, the
system acts as a RC filter. At a given frequency, gain is a function of conductivity, surface tension, dielectric constant, double-layer thickness of the solid–liquid drop interface,
as well as the applied voltage. Since different liquids and solutions have different physical properties, each liquid/solution
has a unique curve (peak) in gain vs. frequency plot. This is the basic principle behind the detector. Different amounts of
zinc chloride dissolved in water, benzalkonium chloride in water, 1-methylimidazole in water, cetyltrimethyl-ammonium chloride
(CTAC) in water, and CTAC dissolved in ethylene glycol solutions were tested with the detector as proof of principle. The
device can be used as a stand-alone detector or can easily be coupled with droplet based microfluidic lab-on-a-chip systems
such as EWOD-based microfluidic chips. 相似文献

A new semiclassical method is presented for evaluating zeros of wave functions. In this method, locating zeros of the wave functions of Schrodinger equation is converted to finding roots of a polynomial. The coefficients of this polynomial are evaluated using WKB and semi quantum action variable methods. For certain potentials WKB expressions for moments are obtained exactly. Almost explicit formulae for moments are obtained for the potential V (x) = xN. Examples are given to illustrate both methods. Using semi quantum action variable method, complex zeros of the wave functions of the PT symmetric complex system V(x) = x4 iAx are obtained. These zeros exhibit complex version of interlacing. 相似文献

We report diffusion in the tunneling spectra of isolated, ligand-stabilized undecagold (Au11) clusters immobilized by attachment to alpha,omega-alkanedithiolate tethers inserted into alkanethiolate self-assembled monolayers. We use scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy at cryogenic (UHV, 4 K) conditions to measure these clusters' conductance with complete control of their chemical and physical environment; additionally, thermal broadening of their electronic states as well as their mobility is minimized. At low temperature, the Au11 clusters demonstrate Coulomb blockade behavior, with zero-conductance gaps resulting from quantum size effects. Surprisingly, chemically identical and even single particles produced different families of tunneling spectra, comparable to previous results for heterogeneous distributions of particles. We hypothesize that, while these particles are chemically attached to the surface of the SAM for measurement, these assemblies may still be sufficiently dynamic to affect their transport properties significantly. 相似文献

The quinoid-benzenoid-diimine form, (=(C6H4)=N-(C6H4)-N=)x of “polyaniline” shows excellent cathode characteristics including recyclability when used in conjunction with a zinc anode in an aqueous electrolyte of (l. 0M ZnCl2 + 0. 5M NH4Cl) having a pH of ~ 4. The reduced form of this material, (-(C6H4)-N(H)-(C6H4)-N(H)-)x can be used as an anode in conjunction with a Pb02 cathode in an aqueous 0.5M Pb(BF4)2 electrolyte. 相似文献

The two D:A-friedo-oleanane triterpenes kokzeylanol and kokzeylanonol isolated from the inner bark of Kokoona zeylanica have been characterized as 6β,27-dihydroxy-D:A -friedo-olean-3-one and 6β,27-dihydroxy-D:A-friedo-olean-3,21-dione, respectively, by the deoxygenation of their 27-acetoxy derivatives using lithium-ethylenediamine reduction coupled with spectroscopic and irradiation methods. Kokzeylanonol represents the first tetra-oxygenated D:A-friedo-oleanane triterpene obtained from a nautral source. Significance of some of these D:A-friedo-oleananes in the biosynthesis of quinonoid triterpenes in Celastraceae is discussed. 相似文献
