The study of the partitioning mechanism of methyl orange in an aqueous two-phase system

An aqueous two-phase system of dodecyl triethylammonium bromide (C₁₂NE, cationic surfactant) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS, anionic surfactant) mixture is proposed for the extraction of some dyes and porphyrin compounds. Transparent two phase-systems are formed when the surfactant concentrations and C₁₂NE/SDS ratios are in certain regions. In this study, the aqueous two phase-systems were prepared by mixing 0.1 mol l⁻¹ C₁₂NE and SDS with a molar ratio of 1.7:1.0. The results showed that negatively charged chlorophyll (sodium copper chlorophyllin) and positively charged dye (methyl violet) were efficiently extracted into the upper phase. The negatively charged methyl orange (pH>7) was moved into the upper phase mostly while amphoteric methyl orange (pH<3) was distributed in the two phases uniformly. Except for hydrophobic force, charge interaction between solute and surfactant also play an important role in the extraction process.

去甲肾上腺素和抗坏血酸在导电聚合物膜修饰电极上的同时测定

采用循环伏安法研究去甲肾上腺素(NE)和抗坏血酸(AA)在4-(2-吡啶偶氮)间苯二酚(PAR)导电聚合膜修饰电极上的电化学行为;以差示脉冲伏安法(DPV)对二者进行测定,发现PAR修饰电极对NE和AA有很强电催化作用,明显增强了电极反应的可逆性及峰电流。在pH 6.0磷酸盐缓冲液(PBS)中,NE氧化峰电流与其浓度在6.25×10-7~6.25×10-5mol/L范围内呈良好的线性关系,AA氧化峰电流与其浓度在1.0×10-6~3.0×10-4mol/L范围内呈良好的线性关系,检出限分别为5.0×10-8mol/L和5.0×10-7mol/L。该PAR膜修饰电极可对NE和AA进行单独或同时的测定,并用于实际样品重酒石酸去甲肾上腺素针剂和维生素C针剂的检测。     

Thermoanalytical behaviour of some coating free films

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used in the investigation of the behaviour of coating free films. The films were produced from two film-forming polymers which are chemically different but equally used for producing controlled-release dosage forms: Eudragit NE 30 D (synthetically produced polymethacrylate copolymer) and LustreClear product (mixture containing natural and semi-synthetic components: microcrystalline cellulose, hydroxy-ethyl cellulose, carrageenan and polyethylene glycol). During their comparative analysis the characteristic parameters of the DSC curves obtained with dynamic measurement method were used and their changes as a function of storage conditions and storage time were observed. It was found that the thermoanalytical behaviour of the examined methacrylate-based Eudragit NE and cellulose-based LustreClear films was different. The specific enthalpy change of Eudragit NE fresh films was very little, but it increased considerably during storage. The specific enthalpy change of LustreClear films was much greater but its value shows only a slight further increase during storage. The results obtained help to choose the proper temperature for coating and drying.     

CdSe/ZnS电化学发光法测定去甲肾上腺素

以巯基丙酸为稳定剂制备了水溶性CdSe/ZnS量子点,并采用滴涂法制备了CdSe/ZnS修饰的金电极（CdSe/ZnS/GE）,研究其电化学发光（ECL）性质,考察了pH、CdSe/ZnS浓度、扫描速度、静置时间等实验条件对ECL强度的影响。结果表明,在碱性溶液中,去甲肾上腺素（NE）在鲁米诺溶液中对CdSe/ZnS的电化学发光信号有明显的增敏作用,由此建立了一种检测去甲肾上腺素的新方法。当去甲肾上腺素的浓度（C_NE）在2.3×10^-5~1.0×10^-8 mol/L范围内时,去甲肾上腺素的浓度与相对电化学发光强度呈现良好的线性关系。线性回归方程为ΔI_ECL=118.788C_NE-15.333（R=0.994 4）,最低检测限（S/N=3）为0.33×10^-8 mol/L。     

The effect of storage on the behaviour of Eudragit NE free film

Eudragit NE 30 D aqueous dispersion is a commonly used coating material, which contains methacrylate copolymers as film-forming agent and nonoxynol 100 as an endogenous emulsifier. The dissolution of the active ingredient from Eudragit NE-coated samples during storage is known to undergo a change. The crystallization of the emulsifier agent can play an important role in this. This polymer is not soluble in the gastrointestinal tract, but is permeable. Various parameters can influence the permeability of this film, e.g. via the tensile properties of the film. Change in the film thickness can cause the stretching of the film on a solid surface. Alterations in this physical parameter of the film were measured and the effects of different storage conditions were evaluated. The free film was prepared by spraying onto teflon. The crystallization of nonoxynol was followed via the changes in the DSC curve of the free film. A relationship was found between the film thickness and the crystallization of nonoxynol. It was established that the different storage conditions influence these changes. The temperature and the air humidity are important in this phenomenon. Lengthening of the storage time increased the difference in film thickness and crystallisation of emulsifier. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

The influence of oxoG on the electronic properties of ds-DNA. Damage versus mismatch: A theoretical approach

The seed of life is concealed in the base sequence in DNA. This macromolecule is continuously exposed to harmful factors which can cause it damage. The stability of genetic information depends on the protein efficiency of repair systems. Glycosylases are the scouts which recognize and remove damaged bases. Their efficiency depends on how rapidly they recognize DNA lesions. One theory states that charge transfer is involved in protein cross talking through ds-DNA. For these reasons a comparative analysis of ds-oligo containing a mismatched base pair dA:::dG and a damaged dA::dG^OXO is proposed. Additionally, the electronic properties of the short ds-oligo in the context of non-equilibrated and equilibrated solvent modes were taken into theoretical consideration. All energetic calculations were performed at the M062x/6-31++G** level of theory, while for geometry optimized ONIOM methodology was used. The lowest adiabatic ionization potential was assigned for DNA containing a dA:dG^OXO pair. Moreover, the adiabatic electron affinity was assigned at the same level for the mismatched and lesioned ds-oligo. Surprisingly, in the non-equilibrated mode, a significantly higher vertical electro affinity was found for lesioned DNA. The higher VEA in a non-equilibrated solvent state supported faster recognition in the A:G^OXO base pair than A:G by MutY glycosylases under electron transfer mechanism.
