Micro-Determination of Protein Containing SH– and –S–S– Groups Based on the Polarographic wave of an Electroactive Derivative

This paper presents a new simple and sensitive method for the micro-determination of protein containing SH– and –S–S– groups based on the single sweep polarographic wave of an electroactive derivative. In 0.04molL^–1 Na₃PO₄ and 0.2% ascorbic acid solution, protein is heated in a boiling water bath for 15min, the reaction product giving a sensitive reduction wave at –0.70V (vs. SCE). The wave height is linearly proportional to the concentration of protein. The calibration curves of bovine serum albumin (BSA), human serum albumin (HSA), ovalbumin (OVA) and lysozyme (Lyso) are constructed under the optimal conditions. For BSA and HSA, the linear ranges and detection limits are 0.05–24mgL^–1 and 0.02mgL^–1, respectively. The method has been applied to the determination of protein in human serum samples with satisfactory results. The mechanism of the polarographic wave was also studied, and the results show that S^2– ion is released from the protein molecule during the derivatization reaction, the wave being attributed to the reduction of HgS.     

Catalyzed Determination of Glucose with a Mimic Enzyme Constructed of Bis‐[‐6‐O‐(‐β‐ethyloic‐butanedioic Acid‐1,4‐ester‐4‐)]β‐Cyclodextrin · Fe3+

Abstract

Catalyzed determination of glucose with mimic glucose oxidase is constructed by the reaction of β‐cyclodextrin, maleic anhydride, and chloroacetic acid with iron trichloride in hydrogen peroxide. The method is simple and convenient, and sensitivity and repeatability are ideal. Beer's law is obeyed in a concentration range of 30–197 µg · ml^?1 glucose with an excellent correlation coefficient (r=0.9994), while the detection limit is 4.10 µg · ml^?1, the RSD is 0.98% (n=8). The recovery of sample is 95.8–103.1%.     

Au-doped TiO2 nanoparticles for selective photocatalytic synthesis of quinaldines from anilines in ethanol

A convenient eco-friendly photocatalytic synthesis of quinaldines has been developed by a simple one-pot reaction of anilines in ethanol solution with Au-loaded TiO₂ under UV irradiation. Upon irradiation in the presence of Au-TiO₂, aniline and oxidation products derived from ethanol undergo condensation-cyclization to afford quinaldines.     

New synthetic quinaldine conjugates: Assessment of their anti-cholinesterase,anti-tyrosinase and cytotoxic activities,and molecular docking analysis

Despite all the progress made to enrich the existing bank of drugs used to treat and cure Alzheimer and cancer patients, there is still a need to research and develop new bioactive candidates with superior efficacy but minimal side effects. In this context, a new series of anti-butyrylcholinesterase (anti-BChE), anti-tyrosinase and cytotoxic succinimide linked quinaldine conjugates 3a-i was designed and synthesized starting from 8-hydroxyquinaldine. The condensation of quinoleine-hydrazide 2 with electrophilic species such as aromatic and nonaromatic anhydrides provided the new compounds 3a-i. These synthesized heterocycles were characterized by spectroscopic means (¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR and ESI-HRMS). Their anti-butyrylcholinesterase, anti-tyrosinase and cytotoxic (cervical cancer cell (HeLa) and lung cancer cell (A549)) activities have been evaluated in vitro. Compounds 3e and 3 g were found to be more anti-BChE than Galanthamine. Compounds 3d, 3e and 3 g exerted better anti-tyrosinase activity than kojic acid. Also, 3a, 3f and 3 g showed interesting cytotoxic potential towards HeLa cell lines. These results were supported by the molecular docking analysis (structure–activity relationship (SAR)) to estimate and discuss possible interactions between these derivatives and active sites of proteins butyrylcholinesterase (PDB: 4B0P), tyrosinase (PDB: 2Y9X) and cytotoxic (topoisomerase IIα enzyme (PDB: 5GWK)).     

Determination of Cr(VI) with Selective Sensing of Cr(VI) Anions by a PVC‐Membrane Electrode Based on Quinaldine Red

A dichromate‐selective PVC‐membrane electrode based on Quinaldine Red (an acridinium derivative) is described. The electrode exhibits rapid (< 30 s) and linear response to the activity of Cr(VI) anions in the range of 5.2 × 10^?6 ?1.0 × 10^?1 M dichromate with the limit of detection 2.5 × 10^?6 Mof Cr₂O₇^2?. The sensor is used as an indicator electrode in potentiometric determination of Cr(VI) anions and is also suitable for end‐point indication in the titrations of proper metal ions with dichromate under laboratory conditions. The proposed electrode has been applied to the direct potentiometric determination of Cr(VI) anions in water samples with satisfactory results.

The Fluorescent Reaction Between Quinaldine Red and Nucleic Acids and its Application to Fluorescent Assay of DNA and RNA

The reaction between quinaldine red (QR) and nucleic acids was studied. The free QR alone has no fluorescence in solution. However, it becomes fluorescent after binding to nucleic acids, giving maximum emission at 607nm with maximum excitation at 557nm. Maximum fluorescence intensity is produced in the pH range of 3.2–3.6. Based on the fluorescent reactions, a novel fluorometric method was developed for rapid determination of nucleic acids using QR as the fluorescent probe. Under optimal conditions, the calibration graphs were linear in the range of 0–30.0µgmL^–1 for CT DNA and 0–20.0µgmL^–1 for yeast RNA. The limits of detection were 38ngmL^–1 for CT DNA and 142ngmL^–1 for yeast RNA. Four synthetic samples were determined with satisfaction.Received December 20, 2002; accepted March 27, 2003 Published online August 8, 2003     

检测Fe~(3+)/F~-的双功能喹哪啶衍生物荧光探针

对一种简单结构的喹哪啶衍生物作为离子荧光探针的性能进行了研究。探针由8-羟基喹哪啶的2-位引入水杨醛构成,通过双键连接喹啉环与苯环以及推-拉电子基团构成大共轭结构,使其发光量子产率提高;探针分子中的氮、氧原子提供了良好的配位作用点,能选择性与离子配合而使荧光性质发生变化。在乙腈/水溶液中,Fe~(3+)与探针形成1∶1的配合物而使其荧光猝灭,配合为自发的熵驱动放热过程。红外光谱和1 H NMR滴定推测探针分子中的两个羰基氧和氮的孤对电子参与Fe~(3+)络合,光诱导引发电子转移过程导致荧光猝灭。在乙腈溶液中,F~-使探针在415nm处的荧光峰降低,在560nm处出现新荧光峰,形成比率荧光,荧光由蓝色变为黄色至橙红色。同时,F~-使探针在280和340nm处的紫外吸收峰降低,在455nm处出现新的吸收峰,形成比率吸收,颜色由无色变为黄色至橙色。1 H NMR滴定推测探针分子与F~-是通过氢键作用。为一种同时检测阴、阳离子的双功能探针,荧光法对Fe~(3+)和F~-的检出限分别低至13.6nmol·L~(-1)和1.6μmol·L~(-1),紫外法对F~-的检出限低至16.5μmol·L~(-1)。利用探针对F~-识别时明显的颜色变化,建立了可视性,快速度,易操作的目视检测微量F~-的方法。
