Chiral separation of synthetic vicinal diol compounds by capillary zone electrophoresis with borate buffer and beta-cyclodextrin as buffer additive.

The investigation on capillary electrophoretic enantioseparation of six synthetic compounds containing vicinal diol groups has been undertaken to acquire the optimum conditions using native beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) as chiral selector and borate as a background electrolyte. The separation was carried out in an uncoated capillary (58.5 cm x 75 microm i.d., effective length 48.5 cm) and the effects of several important factors were investigated in detail. The results showed that beta-CD as a chiral selector exhibited good enantioselectivity and that the enantioseparation was greatly influenced by the structure of the diols, the borate concentration and the buffer pH. The optimum performance was obtained for the chiral vicinal diols under the conditions of 200 mM borate buffer of pH 9.8 containing 1.7% beta-CD at an applied voltage of 15 kV and a capillary temperature of 20 degrees C. Under the conditions, four diols were baseline separated with fast analysis time and the good theoretical plate numbers (above 10 x 10(4)) and favorable migration-time reproducibilities (RSDs below 3.0%) were obtained. The separation results were satisfactory.     

Wavelength tunability of tandem optical parametric oscillator based on single PPMgOLN crystal

The theoretical analysis and experimental results of the wavelength tunability of a tandem optical parametric oscillator (TOPO) based on a single nonlinear crystal are presented.TOPO is a configuration wherein the signal laser is used as a pump laser to generate secondary optical parametric oscillator (OPO).The cascaded parametric interactions are achieved synchronously in a single-grating-period MgO doped periodically poled lithium niobate (PPMgOLN).Tunable multiple-wavelength mid-infrared (mid-IR) lasers are obtained by changing the temperature of the crystal.When the PPMgOLN crystal with a grating period of 31.2 μm is operated at 148 ℃,the dual OPOs generate an identical mid-IR laser of 2.83 μm.The secondary OPO transforms into an optical parametric amplifier,in which different frequency mixing from the signal laser results in the amplification of the idler laser in the first OPO.TOPO is a useful configuration for multiple laser output,broad tuning range,and high-efficiency mid-IR lasers.     

Magnetic molecularly imprinted specific solid‐phase extraction for determination of dihydroquercetin from Larix griffithiana using HPLC

The naturally occurring quercetin flavonoid, dihydroquercetin, is widely distributed in plant tissues and has a variety of biological activities. Herein, a magnetic molecularly imprinted solid‐phase extraction was tailor made for selective determination of dihydroquercetin in Larix griffithiana using high‐performance liquid chromatography. Amino‐functionalized core‐shell magnetic nanoparticles were prepared and characterized using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, vibrating sample magnetometry, and infrared spectroscopy. The polymer had an average diameter of 250 ± 2.56 nm and exhibited good stability and adsorption for template molecule, which is enriched by hydrogen bonding interaction. Multiple factors for extraction, including loading, washing, elution solvents, and extraction time, were optimized. The limit of detection was 1.23 μg/g. The precision determined at various concentration of dihydroquercetin was less than 4% and the mean recovery was between 74.64 and 101.80%. It has therefore been shown that this protocol can be used as an alternative extraction to quantify dihydroquercetin in L. griffithiana and purify quercetin flavonoid from other complex matrices.

可充电水系锌离子电池因成本低、环境友好等优点,已经成为目前电化学储能领域的研究热点之一。然而锌离子电池中高容量、长循环寿命的阴极材料的开发仍然是一大难题。为了解决这一问题,本文中通过直接利用锌片做阳极和集流体,采用高比表面积的三维多孔活性炭(3DAC)做阴极构筑了一种锌离子混合电容器(ZIHC)。该ZIHC器件表现出了优异的电化学性能,具有目前文献报道的ZIHC最高的213 mAh·g~(-1)比容量,展示出164Wh·kg~(-1)的高能量密度和9.3kW·kg~(-1)的高功率密度以及优异的循环稳定性(10 A·g~(-1)下循环20000圈之后,容量保持率为90%,库伦效率接近100%)。我们认为这种采用高比表、三维多孔活性炭(3DAC)做阴极构筑的安全、高性能以及长寿命的水系锌离子混合电容器将为下一代高性能储能器件的开发提供新的研究思路。     

Enantiomeric separation of synthetic 2,3-dihydroxy-3-phenylpropionate compounds by beta-cyclodextrin-modified capillary electrophoresis

A new capillary electrophoretic method was developed for enantiomeric separation and optical impurity analysis of three synthetic 2,3-dihydroxy-3-phenylpropionate compounds using native beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) as chiral selector and borate as a background electrolyte. The separation was carried out in uncoated capillary (58.5 cm x 75 microm I.D., effective length 48.5 cm). The results showed that beta-CD as the chiral selector exhibited good enantioselectivity and the baseline separation was obtained at pH 9.8, 200 mM borate buffer containing 1.7% beta-CD at applied voltage 15 kV and capillary temperature 20 degrees C within 15 min. The precision of each tested compound was less than 1.0% at migration time and 5.0% in corrected peak area and the accuracy of the method was in the range of 98.7-105%. Furthermore, the developed method was successfully applied to the determination of the undesirable trace (2S,3R)-(+)-form impurity in the synthetic (2R,3S)-(-)-2,3-dihydroxy-3-phenylpropionate samples.

Simultaneous determination and pharmacokinetic study of polyphyllin I,polyphyllin II,polyphyllin VI and polyphyllin VII in beagle dog plasma after oral administration of Rhizoma Paridis extracts by LC‐MS‐MS

For the first time, a rapid and specific LC‐MS‐MS method has been developed for the analysis of polyphyllin I, polyphyllin II, polyphyllin VI and polyphyllin VII in beagle dog plasma. The method was applied to study the pharmacokinetics of Rhizoma Paridis extracts containing polyphyllin I, polyphyllin II, polyphyllin VI and polyphyllin VII. The analysis was carried out on an Agilent Zorbax XDB‐C₁₈ reversed‐phase column (100 × 2.1 mm, 1.8 µm) by isocratic elution with acetonitrile and water (50:50, v/v). The flow rate was 0.25 mL/min. All analytes including internal standards were monitored by selected reaction monitoring with an electrospray ionization source. Linear responses were obtained for polyphyllin I, polyphyllin II, polyphyllin VI and polyphyllin VII ranging from 10 to 5000 ng/mL. The intra‐and inter‐day precisions (RSDs) were less than 6.66 and 9.15%. The extraction recovery ranged from 95.53 to 104.21% with RSD less than 8.69%. Stability studies showed that polyphyllin I, polyphyllin II, polyphyllin VI and polyphyllin VII were stable in preparation and analytical process. The validated method was successfully used to determine the concentration–time profiles of polyphyllin I, polyphyllin II, polyphyllin VI and polyphyllin VII. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
