p-Methoxycinnamate moieties, UV-B-absorptive chromophores of the widely used UV-B filter, 2-ethylhexyl p-methoxycinnamate (OMC), were grafted onto the 7 mol% amino functionalized silicone polymer through amide linkages. Comparing with OMC, the resulting poly [3-(p-methoxycinnamido)(propyl)(methyl)-dimethyl] siloxane copolymer (CAS) showed less E to Z isomerization when exposed to UV-B light. The absorption profiles of the product showed the maximum absorption wavelength to be similar to that of OMC but with less sensitivity to the type of solvent. Poly (methylhydrosiloxane) grafted with 10 mol% p-methoxycinnamoyl moieties was prepared through hydrosilylations of 2-propenyl-p-methoxycinnamate, in which the resulting copolymer showed similar results to those of CAS. 相似文献
Albizia myriophylla Benth. is a medicinal herb which is used as a traditional remedy for various ailments including diabetes in Thailand. In our continued investigation of the biological activity of A. myriophylla, the ethanol extract, fractions and the isolated compounds from the wood of this plant were evaluated for in vitro α-glucosidase inhibition using spectrophotometric method. The plant ethanol extract and its different fractions possessed α-glucosidase inhibitory activity in a concentration-dependent manner. Dichloromethane fraction of the wood ethanol extract exhibited the highest percent inhibition against α-glucosidase (69.30%) among all fractions. Subsequent α-glucosidase inhibition assay proved that indenoic acid (1), 8-methoxy-7, 3′,4′-trihydroxyflavone (2) and 3,4,7,3′-tetrahydroxyflavan (3) were partially rational for antidiabetic effect of this plant species. Among these compounds, 3 (IC50 98.59 μg/mL) exhibited potent inhibition of α-glucosidase, compared with a positive control acarbose (IC50 125 μg/mL). The inhibitory effect towards α-glucosidase of compounds 1–3 was reported herein for the first time. 相似文献

Lab-in-syringe is a new approach for the integration of various analytical extraction steps inside a syringe. Fully automated dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction is carried out in-syringe using a very simple instrumental setup. Dispersion is achieved by aspiration of the organic phase and then the watery phase into the syringe as rapidly as possible. After aggregation of the solvent droplets, the organic phase is pushed towards the detector allowing a highly sensitive spectrophotometric or fluorimetric detection. This technique is very useful not only for the preconcentration of analyte, but also for the elimination of their interferences. In this work, its application is described using solvents that are lighter and denser than water. The magnetically assisted variant and its coupling to different instruments has been also described with the aim of increasing the resolution of complex samples, especially useful for the determination of emerging contaminants. 相似文献
Development of self-sanitizing cellulose and cellulose paper-based products will increase human safety and hygiene. In the present work, a softwood bleached kraft pulp (SBKP) was oxidized by 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical (TEMPO)-mediated oxidation in water at pH 10 at two NaClO addition levels (3 and 5 mmol g?1 based on the dry weight of SBKP). The fibrous TEMPO-oxidized SBKPs (TO-SBKPs) were subsequently incorporated with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by soaking in aqueous silver nitrate (AgNO3) solution and subsequent thermal reduction. The C=O absorption band in FTIR spectra of AgNP-containing TO-SBKPs increased with increasing Ag content, showing that the C2/C3 hydroxy groups in TO-SBKPs were oxidized to ketones by reduction of Ag+ ions to AgNPs during heating at 100 °C for 1 h. Scanning electron microscopy images showed that the AgNPs were almost homogenously distributed on the surface of each TO-SBKP fiber with an average diameter of 32–40 nm regardless of different Ag contents. Handsheets were prepared from SBKP and the AgNP-containing TO-SBKP at various weight ratios. The handsheets showed sufficient antimicrobial activities against a Gram-negative Escherichia coli strain and a Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus strain. The tensile strength of the handsheets was significantly improved by mixing the AgNP-containing TO-SBKP with SBKP. The 20% TO-SBKP/Ag-containing SBKP sheets were optimal in terms of efficient antimicrobial activities and good mechanical properties. Thus, the AgNP-containing TO-SBKP sheets have potential for use as antimicrobial paper and related packaging materials produced using the conventional papermaking process.

Quite often one of the biggest problems in analytical methods, including spectrometry, resides in the pre-processing of the sample, which usually must be solved manually. To solve these problems, it can be very useful to request the help of the flow techniques, which will allow to automate the methods, decrease the time of the analysis, decrease the consumption of the samples and reagents, increase the reproducibility, the sample throughput and to work continuously for a long period of time.
Between the advantages of the low separation flow techniques are their very high versatility facing the application of various treatment techniques, such as photo-oxidation, pre-concentration, clean-up, derivatization, gas diffusion, etc. Since the entire process is carried out in a completely closed system, results are obtained in a faster and more reproducible way.
In this contribution, coupling different low-resolution separation flow techniques with several very selective spectrometric instruments, like ICP–AES, ICP–MS, AFS, etc. Hyphenation with different kind of chromatographic and the capillary electrophoretic techniques is also described. 相似文献
In the present study, gamma-oryzanol was incorporated into glycerol behenate (Compritol 888 ATO) nanoparticles (SLNs) at 5 and 10% (w/w) of lipid phase. Increasing lipid phase concentration resulted in increased consistency and particle diameter of SLNs. Upon storage over 60 days at 4, 25 and 40 °C, the instability was observed by rheological analysis for all samples due to the formation of gelation. Rheological measurement revealed the increase in storage modulus and critical stress during storage at all temperatures. However, at 40 °C, the pronounced instability was observed from the highest increase in storage modulus and a formation of rod-like network structure from scanning electron micrographs. An increase in crystallinity, determined by differential scanning calorimetry, was also found during storage at all temperatures, confirming the instability of SLNs. Particle diameters and zeta potentials of both concentrations at all storage conditions failed to explain the observed instability. These investigations may help to develop formulations of solid lipid nanoparticles, which are optimized with respect to the desired rheological properties. 相似文献
