The effect of hydrophilic ionic liquids (ILs) on the activity of chloroperoxidase (CPO) was checked through kinetic and stereochemical studies. The possibility to employ this enzyme in synthesis has been demonstrated investigating the chemo- and stereoselectivity of oxidation of phenyl methylsulfide in several citrate buffer-IL mixtures. 相似文献
We report a novel, fast, and automatic SPME-based method capable of extracting a small molecule-drug conjugate (SMDC) from biological matrices. Our method relies on the extraction of the drug conjugate followed by direct elution into an electrospray mass spectrometer (ESI-MS) source for qualitative and quantitative analysis. We designed a tool for extracting the targeting head of a recently synthesized SMDC, which includes acetazolamide (AAZ) as high-affinity ligand specific to carbonic anhydrase IX. Specificity of the extraction was achieved through systematic optimization. The design of the extraction tool is based on noncovalent and reversible interaction between AAZ and CAII that is immobilized on the SPME extraction phase. Using this approach, we showed a 330% rise in extracted AAZ signal intensity compared to a control, which was performed in the absence of CAII. A linear dynamic range from 1.2 to 25 μg/ml was found. The limits of detection (LOD) of extracted AAZ from phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and human plasma were 0.4 and 1.2 μg/ml, respectively. This with a relative standard deviation of less than 14% (n = 40) covers the therapeutic range.
A new electrochemical sensor, based on NdFeO3 nanoparticles as electrocatalytic material, was proposed here for the detection of dopamine (DA). NdFeO3 nanoparticles were first synthesized by a simple thermal treatment method and subsequent annealing at high temperature (700 °C). The prepared electrocatalytic material has been characterized in detail by SEM-EDX, XRD, and Raman techniques. Characterization results display its sheet-like morphology, constituted by a porous network of very small orthorhombic NdFeO3 nanoparticles. NdFeO3 electrocatalytic material was then used to modify the working electrode of screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs). Electrochemical tests demonstrated that NdFeO3– modified screen-printed carbon electrode (NdFeO3/SPCE) exhibited a remarkable enhancement of the dopamine electrooxidation, compared to the bare SPCE one. The analytical performance of the developed sensor has been evaluated for the detection of this analyte by means of the square-wave voltammetry (SWV) technique. The modified electrode showed two linear concentration ranges, from 0.5 to 100 μM and 150 to 400 μM, respectively, a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.27 μM (at S/N = 3), and good reproducibility, stability, and selectivity. Additionally, we also report an attempt made to propose the modified sensor for the simultaneous detection of dopamine and uric acid (UA). The procedure was also applied for the determination of dopamine in spiked real samples. So, this paper reports for the first time the use of a modified NdFeO3 screen-printed electrode for developing an electrochemical sensor for the quantification of important biomolecules.
Phenprocoumon is a commonly used oral anticoagulant of the coumarin type, and has found extensive clinical use in the treatment of thrombophlebitis, pulmonary embolism and atrial fibrillation. In the course of a clinical study to investigate the influence of genetic polymorphisms of the CYP2C9 enzyme on phenprocoumon metabolism, we developed a new enantioselective liquid chromatography/electrospray ionisation tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) method to quantify (R)- and (S)-phenprocoumon in human plasma. HPLC separation of the enantiomers was achieved on a Chira-Grom-2 column under isocratic conditions using a water/acetonitrile/formic acid eluent. For detection and quantification a triple-quadrupole MS system was used in the selected reaction monitoring (SRM) mode. As an internal standard the structurally homologous compound warfarin was chosen. The detector response was linear with a correlation coefficient of 0.988-0.999 for (R)-phenprocoumon and 0.989-0.999 for (S)-phenprocoumon in the investigated concentration range between 62.5 and 1000 ng/mL (per enantiomer). The limit of detection (LOD) was 12.5 ng/mL. 相似文献
Radiochemical quality control using high performance high pressure liquid chromatography and, to some extent, gas chromatography
is described for a variety of carrier-free11C-,18F-and123I-labelled compounds and radiopharmaceuticals. The particular problems associated with the handling of carrier-free compounds
labelled with short-lived radionuclides are outlined, and chromatographic data are given for the separation and purification

[graphs: see text] QM GIAO calculations of 13C and 1H chemical shift values of the ArCH2Ar group have been performed, using the hybrid DFT functional MPW1PW91 and the 6-31G(d,p) basis set, on some representative calixarenes and on a series of simplified calixarene models allowing derivation of chemical shift surfaces versus phi and chi dihedral angles. A good reproduction of experimental data was obtained. The applicability of chemical shift surfaces in the study of calixarene conformational features is illustrated. 相似文献
The fluorescence of perylene in alcoholic solution is dynamically quenched by AgClO4 resulting in a new emission band with its maximum around 480 nm. Analysis of fluorescence decay curves at various emission wavelengths proves the formation of a perylene/Aa+ ion exciplex in the quenching reaction. 相似文献
The time dependence of shear and normal stresses during constant shearing of some polystyrene and poly(ethylene oxide) solutions in Aroclor 1248 was measured by means of a Weissenberg rheogoniometer. The stresses of the poly(ethylene oxide) solutions first increase rapidly with the increase of strain, then decrease to a value lower than the value in the stationary state, pass another maximum smaller than the first one, and finally reach a steady value. At the end of the shearing of these solutions at high shear rates, the formation of aggregates was clearly evident. The polystyrene solutions became time-dependent only after a certain shear rate and then showed a rheopectic behavior. The difference in behavior is explained qualitatively by the differing tendencies of these polymer chains to form a network. 相似文献
[structure: see text] The first example of two discrete calix[8]arene conformational isomers, 2 and 2a, has been obtained by exhaustive benzylation of 1,5-tetramethylene-bridged calix[8]arene 1. It is demonstrated, with the aid of X-ray crystallography, that these atropisomers have two 3/4-cone halves oriented syn or anti with respect to the bridge/bridgeheads moiety. VT NMR studies indicate that the tert-butyl-through-the-annulus inversion is inhibited in 1, while groups larger than n-hexyl or benzyl are required for curtailing the O-through-the-annulus route. 相似文献
