By measuring characteristic fluorescence of n-propyl and isopropyl alcohol vapors produced by femtosecond filament excitation, it is found that they show identical spectra, that is, those from molecular bands of CH, C2, Nit, OH and CN, while the relative intensities are different. By comparing the ratios of the CH and C2 signals, the two propyl alcohol isomers are differentiated. The different signal intensities are ascribed to different ionization potentials of the two isomer molecules, leading to different production efficiencies of fluorescing fragments.展开更多

The results showed that mice receiving F9202 and F9204displayed obvious CPP. They could all significantly stimulate CREB phosphorylation and maintained for along time without affecting total CREB protein levels. The effect of F9204 was similar to morphine whicheffect was more potent and longer than F9202. We also examined the effects of ketamine, a noncompetitiveN-mthyl-D-aspartate receptor (NR) antagonist, on morphine-, F9202- and F9204- induced CPP and phos-phorylation of CREB in hippocampus. Ketamine could suppress not only the place preference but also thephosphorylation of CREB produced by morphine, F9202 and F9204. These findings suggest that alterationsin the phosphorylation of CREB be relevant to opiates signaling and the development of opiates dependence.NR antagonists may interfere with opiates dependence and may have potential therapeutic implications.展开更多

The gossypol isomers in whole cottonseed, plasma, and rumen fluid were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC). The intakes of(+)-and(-)-gossypol by cows on three farms were about 5.6–8.5 and 3.8–5.9 g/(d·herd), respectively. The plasma gossypol concentrations increased as ingestion increased and ranged from 0.31 to 0.48 μg/ml for the(+) form and from 0.39 to 0.59 μg/ml for the(-) form. The(+) form was slightly predominant(58.8%–59.8%) in the gossypol ingested by the cows, whereas the(-) form predominated(54.6%–55.9%) in the plasma. An in vitro study showed that at 6 h, 67.4% and 85.7% of the(-)-gossypol were degraded in 500 and 1000 μg/g treatment groups, respectively, and these increased to 83.6% and 92.5%, respectively, at 12 h. The regularity of the degradation of(+)-gossypol was similar to that of(-)-gossypol. These results showed that(-)-gossypol may be more persistent than(+)-gossypol in plasma, and that the degradation of the gossypol isomers in the rumen is rapid and not enantioselective in cattle.展开更多

As a new member of quantum-dots family, NDs are rich in nitrogen and oxygen-containing functional groups and therefore can be used as an efficient reducing and stabilizing agent for the synthesis of AuNPs. The NDs-Au@AgNPs with core-shell structures was synthesized by seed-mediated growth method in presence of NDs-AuNPs seeds and exhibited high SERS activity with a high SERS enhancement factor of 10~7. The NDs-Au@AgNPs SERS substrate was effectively used for the recognition and detection of isomers of meta, ortho and para nitroanilines, while commercial SERS substrate cannot. In addition, the possible adsorption behavior was further studied, which is of great significance for the related work about differentiation of isomers and the mechanism of SERS enhancement.展开更多

The isomers of 2-butene-1,4-diol can be separated on both chiral columns while the isomers of lafutidine can only be resolved on ChiraSpher column. The influence of different type and amount of mobile phase modifier on the isomers separation was extensively studied. The resolution of cis and trans isomers of 2-butene-1,4-diol was 2.61on (S,S)-Whelk-O 1 column with hexane-ethanol (97:3, v/v) as the mobile phase. The resolution of lafutidine was 1.89 on ChiraSpher column with hexane-ethanol-THF-diethylamine (92:3:5:0.1, v/v/v/v) as the mobile phase. LC-MS methods were developed to identify the isomer peaks.展开更多

Herein, we introduce a new type of light-driven on-tissue [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction coupled with MALDI-MS/MS imaging to identify lipid DB position isomers and their spatial signatures in biological tissues. 3-Benzoylpyridine was introduced as a novel derivatization reagent, and it exhibited great reactivity toward lipid C=C bond to form oxetanes under both ultraviolet light and visible light irradiation. With this approach, DB position isomers of lipids were imaged with highly differential levels in distinct regions of rat brain, providing an accurate and spatially resolved approach to study tissue lipidomics.展开更多

The functionalized electrode has a distinguishable and sensitive response to dihydroxybenzene isomers. Under the optimized conditions, the linear stripping peak currents showed good linear relationships with hydroquinone, catechol and resorcinol at concentration ranges 0.50-120, 0.50-110 and 1.00-110 μmol/L, and the detection limits are 0.1, 0.1 and 0.3 μmol/L, respectively. The proposed method is applicable to the simultaneous determination of dihydroxybenzene isomers in real samples with the relative standard deviations of less than 5.7% and the recovery rates of 95.6%-106%. The constructed electrode is characterized by simple preparation, good selectivity, and high sensitivity advantages.展开更多

文摘The present study was designed to determine the changes of phosphorylation of cAMP- response ele-ment binding protein (CREB) in hippocampus induced by ohmefentanyl stereoisomers (F9202 and F9204)in conditioned place preference (CPP) paradigm. The results showed that mice receiving F9202 and F9204displayed obvious CPP. They could all significantly stimulate CREB phosphorylation and maintained for along time without affecting total CREB protein levels. The effect of F9204 was similar to morphine whicheffect was more potent and longer than F9202. We also examined the effects of ketamine, a noncompetitiveN-mthyl-D-aspartate receptor (NR) antagonist, on morphine-, F9202- and F9204- induced CPP and phos-phorylation of CREB in hippocampus. Ketamine could suppress not only the place preference but also thephosphorylation of CREB produced by morphine, F9202 and F9204. These findings suggest that alterationsin the phosphorylation of CREB be relevant to opiates signaling and the development of opiates dependence.NR antagonists may interfere with opiates dependence and may have potential therapeutic implications.

文摘Posttranslational modifications of antibody products affect their stability,charge distribution,and drug activity and are thus a critical quality attribute.The comprehensive mapping of antibody modifications and different charge isomers(CIs)is of utmost importance,but is challenging.We intended to quantitatively characterize the posttranslational modification status of CIs of antibody drugs and explore the impact of posttranslational modifications on charge heterogeneity.The CIs of antibodies were fractionated by strong cation exchange chromatography and verified by capillary isoelectric focusing-whole column imaging detection,followed by stepwise structural characterization at three levels.First,the differences between CIs were explored at the intact protein level using a top-down mass spectrometry approach;this showed differences in glycoforms and deamidation status.Second,at the peptide level,common modifications of oxidation,deamidation,and glycosylation were identified.Peptide mapping showed nonuniform deamidation and glycoform distribution among CIs.In total,10 N-glycoforms were detected by peptide mapping.Finally,an in-depth analysis of glycan variants of CIs was performed through the detection of enriched glycopeptides.Qualitative and quantitative analyses demonstrated the dynamics of 24 N-glycoforms.The results revealed that sialic acid modification is a critical factor accounting for charge heterogeneity,which is otherwise missed in peptide mapping and intact molecular weight analyses.This study demonstrated the importance of the comprehensive analyses of antibody CIs and provides a reference method for the quality control of biopharmaceutical analysis.

文摘In this study,we theoretically investigate the feasibility of using laser-wakefield accelerated(LWFA)electrons for the photonuclear measurement of nuclear isomers according to the characteristics of the electrons obtained from LWFA experiments conducted at the Compact Laser-Plasma Accelerator(CLAPA)laboratory.The experiments at the CLAPA show that a stable electron beam with an energy of 78-135 MeV and a charge of 300-600 pC can be obtained.The bremsstrahlung spectra were simulated using Geant4,which suggests that a bremsstrahlung source with a peak intensity of 10^(19) photons/s can be generated.Theoretical calculations of isomer production cross sections from the photonuclear reactions on six target nuclei,^(197)Au,^(180)Hf,^(159)Tb,^(115)In,^(103)Rh,and ^(90)Zr,were performed and compared with the available experimental data in EXFOR,which suggest that further experiments are required for a series of photonuclear reaction channels.Flux-averaged cross sections and isomer ratios(IR)resulting from such bremsstrahlung sources are theoretically deduced.The results suggest that IR measurements can be used to constrain nuclear components,such asγstrength function and optical model potential.In addition,the detection of the decay characteristics was evaluated with Geant4 simulations.The use of the LWFA electron beam and its bremsstrahlung for photonuclear studies involving nuclear isomers is anticipated.

The experimental results proved that this method would be even more time saving and could get more reliable results.

文摘A pharmacokinetic comparison of gossypol isomers in cattle was made by investigating their transfer from ingested food to plasma and their degradation by rumen microbes. The gossypol isomers in whole cottonseed, plasma, and rumen fluid were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC). The intakes of(+)-and(-)-gossypol by cows on three farms were about 5.6–8.5 and 3.8–5.9 g/(d·herd), respectively. The plasma gossypol concentrations increased as ingestion increased and ranged from 0.31 to 0.48 μg/ml for the(+) form and from 0.39 to 0.59 μg/ml for the(-) form. The(+) form was slightly predominant(58.8%–59.8%) in the gossypol ingested by the cows, whereas the(-) form predominated(54.6%–55.9%) in the plasma. An in vitro study showed that at 6 h, 67.4% and 85.7% of the(-)-gossypol were degraded in 500 and 1000 μg/g treatment groups, respectively, and these increased to 83.6% and 92.5%, respectively, at 12 h. The regularity of the degradation of(+)-gossypol was similar to that of(-)-gossypol. These results showed that(-)-gossypol may be more persistent than(+)-gossypol in plasma, and that the degradation of the gossypol isomers in the rumen is rapid and not enantioselective in cattle.

文摘The stability of C36H2 isomers and selection rules for choosing position in addition reactions based on symmetrical C36（D6h and D2d） fullerene have been studied by means of Aihara＇s topological resonance energy （TRE） and bond resonance energy （BRE） methods. The relation between the addition pattern and BREs is established, showing high antiaromatic bonds are preferred for addition. These results show that TRE and BRE methods can be used to predict and interpret addition sites for these systems.

文摘In this work, we report a facile synthesis method for NDs-Au@AgNPs surface-enhanced Raman scattering(SERS) substrate using Au seeds prepared by nitrogen-rich quantum dots(NDs). As a new member of quantum-dots family, NDs are rich in nitrogen and oxygen-containing functional groups and therefore can be used as an efficient reducing and stabilizing agent for the synthesis of AuNPs. The NDs-Au@AgNPs with core-shell structures was synthesized by seed-mediated growth method in presence of NDs-AuNPs seeds and exhibited high SERS activity with a high SERS enhancement factor of 10~7. The NDs-Au@AgNPs SERS substrate was effectively used for the recognition and detection of isomers of meta, ortho and para nitroanilines, while commercial SERS substrate cannot. In addition, the possible adsorption behavior was further studied, which is of great significance for the related work about differentiation of isomers and the mechanism of SERS enhancement.
文摘The cis and trans isomers separation of 2-butene-1,4-diol and lafutidine were studied by HPLC on two kinds of chiral columns: (S,S)-Whelk-O 1 and ChiraSpher. The isomers of 2-butene-1,4-diol can be separated on both chiral columns while the isomers of lafutidine can only be resolved on ChiraSpher column. The influence of different type and amount of mobile phase modifier on the isomers separation was extensively studied. The resolution of cis and trans isomers of 2-butene-1,4-diol was 2.61on (S,S)-Whelk-O 1 column with hexane-ethanol (97:3, v/v) as the mobile phase. The resolution of lafutidine was 1.89 on ChiraSpher column with hexane-ethanol-THF-diethylamine (92:3:5:0.1, v/v/v/v) as the mobile phase. LC-MS methods were developed to identify the isomer peaks.

文摘Although peroxidase-like nanozymes have made great progress in bioanalysis,few current nanozymebased biosensors are constructed for discriminating isomers of organic compounds.Herein,fluorescent metal-organic framework(MOF)-based nanozyme is utilized for phenylenediamine isomers discrimination and detection.NH_(2)-MIL-101(Fe),as a member of Fe-based MOFs,functions as not only fluorescent indicator but also peroxidase mimics.In the presence of H_(2)O_(2),NH2-MIL-101(Fe) can catalyze the oxidation of o-phenylenediamine(OPD) and p-phenylenediamine(PPD) into their corresponding oxidation products(OPDox and PPDox),which in turn quench its intrinsic fluorescence at 445 nm via inner filter effect(IFE).Differently,a new fluorescence peak at 574 nm is observed for OPDox.Thus,a ratiometric fluorescence method for the detection of OPD can be designed with the fluorescence intensity ratio F_(574)/F_(445)as readout.This proposed strategy displays excellent discrimination ability for three phenylenediamines and may open new applications of MOFs in environmental science.

文摘Application of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging(MALDI-MSI) to investigate the spatiotemporal alterations of lipids in biological tissues has brought many significant results.However, the presence of structural isomers varying in C=C double bond(DB) locations makes isomerresolved MSI an urgent need. Herein, we introduce a new type of light-driven on-tissue [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction coupled with MALDI-MS/MS imaging to identify lipid DB position isomers and their spatial signatures in biological tissues. 3-Benzoylpyridine was introduced as a novel derivatization reagent, and it exhibited great reactivity toward lipid C=C bond to form oxetanes under both ultraviolet light and visible light irradiation. With this approach, DB position isomers of lipids were imaged with highly differential levels in distinct regions of rat brain, providing an accurate and spatially resolved approach to study tissue lipidomics.

文摘Organic electrode materials are promising for batteries.However,the reported organic electrodes are often facing the challenges of low specific capacity,low voltage,poor rate capability and vague charge storage mechanisms,etc.Isomers are good platform to investigate the charge storage mechanisms and enhance the performance of batteries,which,however,have not been focused in batteries.Herein,two isomers are reported for batteries.As a result,the isomer tetrathiafulvalene(TTF)could store two monovalent anions reversibly,deriving an average discharge voltage of 1.05 V and a specific capacity of 220 mAh g−1 at a current density of 2 C.On the other hand,the other isomer tetrathianaphthalene could only reversibly store one monovalent anion and upon further oxidation,it would undergo an irreversible solid-state molecular rearrangement to TTF.The molecular rearrangement was confirmed by electrochemical performances,X-ray diffraction patterns,nuclear magnetic resonance spectra,and 1H detected heteronuclear multiple bond correlation spectra.These results suggested the small structural change could lead to a big difference in anion storage,and we hope this work will stimulate more attention to the structural design for boosting the performance of organic batteries.
文摘The present study reports a sensitive electro-analytical method for the simultaneous determination of dihydroxybenzene isomers by using a thiadiazole film electrode, which was readily prepared by electropolymerization of 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole on a glassy carbon electrode with cyclic voltammetry. The functionalized electrode has a distinguishable and sensitive response to dihydroxybenzene isomers. Under the optimized conditions, the linear stripping peak currents showed good linear relationships with hydroquinone, catechol and resorcinol at concentration ranges 0.50-120, 0.50-110 and 1.00-110 μmol/L, and the detection limits are 0.1, 0.1 and 0.3 μmol/L, respectively. The proposed method is applicable to the simultaneous determination of dihydroxybenzene isomers in real samples with the relative standard deviations of less than 5.7% and the recovery rates of 95.6%-106%. The constructed electrode is characterized by simple preparation, good selectivity, and high sensitivity advantages.

文摘The possible stable structures of substituted fullerene C26BN formed on the initial C28 cage with Td symmetry have been systematically studied on UHF/3-21g level with constrained symmetry(Cs or C1), the charge and multiplicity of all the isomers are zero and five, respectively. The geometry optimization and the vibrational frequencies analysis were performed on the same level with constrained symmetry(Cs or C1). The results show that the most stable isomer of C26BN is formed by boron and nitrogen atoms doping at 5,2-sites.
