[PMID: 35834889 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2022.463307] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2022] [Revised: 06/16/2022] [Accepted: 07/04/2022] [Indexed: 10/17/2022]
Abstract
This study reports for the first time the use of a microchip electrophoresis (ME) device with integrated capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (C4D) to analyze naphthenic acids in produced water. A mixture containing 9-anthracenecarboxylic, 1-naphthoic, and benzoic acids was separated and detected using a running buffer composed of 10 mmol L-1 carbonate buffer (pH = 10.2). The separation was achieved within ca. 140 s with baseline resolution greater than 2 and efficiency values ranging from 1.9 × 105 to 2.4 × 105 plates m-1. The developed methodology provided linear correlation with determination coefficients greater than 0.992 for the concentration ranges between 50 and 250 µmol L-1 for benzoic and 9-anthracenecarboxylic acids, and between 50 and 200 µmol L-1 for 1-naphthoic acid. The achieved limit of detection values varied between 4.7 and 7.7 µmol L-1. The proposed methodology revealed satisfactory repeatability with RSD values for a sequence of eight injections between 5.5 and 7.7% for peak areas and lower than 1% for migration times. In addition, inter-day precision was evaluated for sixteen injections (a sequence of four injections performed during four days), and the RSD values were lower than 11.5 and 4.9% for peak areas and migration time, respectively. Five produced water samples were analyzed, and it was possible to detect and quantify 9-anthracenecarboxylic acid. The concentrations ranged from 1.05 to 2.24 mmol L-1 with recovery values between 90.8 and 96.0%. ME-C4D demonstrated satisfactory analytical performance for determining naphthenic acids in produced water for the first time, which is useful for petroleum or oil industry investigation.

Abstract
Conventional techniques for synthesizing GQDs have a poor quantum yield (QY) that restricts their biological applications. Herein, we present a rapid, cost-effective and high quantum yield synthesis of nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (N-GQDs) through a scientific microwave reactor. The reaction parameters like microwave irradiation time, temperature, precursor concentration and pressure were optimized for achieving high quantum yield. The prepared N-GQDs exhibit bright blue fluorescence and excitation independent emission property with a quantum yield of 42.81%. In-vivo investigations on C. elegans revealed that the as-prepared N-GQDs are exceptionally biocompatible and maintain the normal physiological functioning of the primary and secondary targeted organs in nematodes. The synergetic effect of intestinal barrier and defecation behavior mitigates N-GQDs translocation into reproductive organs of nematode. In addition, the N-GQDs modified GCE was tested for electrochemical sensing characteristics towards the anti-tuberculosis drug isoniazid (INZ). The N-GQDs showed appreciable electrocatalytic performance towards INZ with high sensitivity (3.76 μA μM-1 cm-1). The differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) analysis of N-GQDs exhibit a lower detection limit of 10.91 nM for INZ. The N-GQDs modified sensor exhibits good reproducibility, excellent anti-interference ability and excellent analytical performance for INZ in real samples like human blood serum and urine samples.

PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2022; 269:120746. [PMID: 34929627 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2021.120746] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2021] [Revised: 11/25/2021] [Accepted: 12/09/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Anti-tuberculosis fixed-dose combinatorial formulation (FDCs) is an effective drug for the treatment of tuberculosis. As a compound medicine, its efficacy is based on the comprehensive action of multiple main ingredients. If the content of an active ingredient is insufficient, not only will it reduce the curative effect, but it also causes patients to develop drug resistance and leads to the evolution of drug-resistant strains of tuberculosis, which hamper the treatment of the disease. Thus accurate detection of the contents of active components in the anti-tuberculosis FDC is the key link of its quality control. For the first time, convolutional neural networks (CNN), one of the most popular deep learning methods, is adopted to develop a quantitative calibration model based on terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) for the accurate detection of the content of each active component in the anti-tuberculosis FDCs. For comparison with CNN, partial least squares regression (PLSR) was also introduced to build a reference quantitative calibration model. For CNN modeling, the raw THz spectral is fed to the model directly; While for PLSR, prior to the spectrum feeding to the model, the raw spectral data are processed by multiple different combinations of preprocessing. Experimental and simulation results demonstrate that although preprocessing techniques can improve the prediction performance of PLSR, its prediction capabilities is still inferior to CNN based on raw spectrum. Therefore, for the quantitative analysis of the content of each active component in the anti-tuberculosis FDCs, CNN appears to be an ideal modeling method.

Abstract
The pharmacokinetic variations of a single drug in an antituberculosis regimen are associated with acquired drug resistance and therapy failure. This study aimed to develop a simple and effective method for monitoring the serum levels of isoniazid (INH), rifampicin (RFP), and pyrazinamide (PZA), three antibiotics used in patients with spinal tuberculosis using capillary electrophoresis (CE). A standard solution of INH, RFP, and PZA was prepared and mixed with serum to prepare the standard curve. The detection limit, quantification limit, precision, stability, repeatability, and sample recovery were determined. Then, INH, RFP, and PZA were measured from the leftover serum samples of all patients with spinal tuberculosis who were treated with 2SHRZ/2.5H2R2Z2 combined with surgery in a tertiary hospital in Qinghai from October 2015 to September 2017. A total of 107 patients with spinal tuberculosis treated using the 2SHRZ/2.5H2R2Z2 regimen combined with surgery were included in this study. All three antibiotics had linear standard curves with high correlation coefficients (R2 = 0.9997, 0.9994, and 0.9986). The recovery rates were 98.1% for INH, 96.5% for PZA, and 97.2% for RFP. The results from the serum samples showed that the plasma concentrations of INH (4.989 ± 1.692 μg mL-1) and RFP (9.400 ± 1.711 μg mL-1) reached effective therapeutic concentrations in all patients, but not PZA (33.860 ± 1.830 μg mL-1). The CE method for measuring INH, RFP, and PZA simultaneously in serum samples of patients with spinal tuberculosis is simple, rapid, and sensitive. This method is suitable for the routine monitoring of INH, RFP, and PZA concentrations in the serum of patients with spinal tuberculosis.

Abstract
The use of a photocatalyst (photosensitizer) which produces singlet oxygen instead of enzymes for oxidizing analytes creates opportunities for designing cost-efficient and sensitive photoelectrochemical sensors. We report that perfluoroisopropyl-substituted zinc phthalocyanine (F64PcZn) interacts specifically with a complex phenolic compound, the antibiotic rifampicin (RIF), but not with hydroquinone or another complex phenolic compound, the antibiotic doxycycline. The specificity is imparted by the selective preconcentration of RIF in the photocatalytic layer, as revealed by electrochemical and optical measurements, complemented by molecular modeling that confirms the important role of a hydrophobic cavity formed by the iso-perfluoropropyl groups of the photocatalyst. The preconcentration effect favorably enhances the RIF photoelectrochemical detection limit as well as sensitivity to nanomolar (ppb) concentrations, LOD = 7 nM (6 ppb) and 2.8 A·M-1·cm-2, respectively. The selectivity to RIF, retained in the photosensitizer layer, is further enhanced by the selective removal of all unretained phenols via simple washing of the electrodes with pure buffer. The utility of the sensor for analyzing municipal wastewater was demonstrated. This first demonstration of enhanced selectivity and sensitivity due to intrinsic interactions of a molecular photocatalyst (photosensitizer) with an analyte, without use of a biorecognition element, may allow the design of related, robust, simple, and viable sensors.

Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis represents a promising technique in the field of pharmaceutical analysis. The presented review provides a summary of capillary electrophoretic methods suitable for routine quality control analyses of small molecule drugs published since 2015. In total, more than 80 discussed methods are sorted into three main sections according to the applied electroseparation modes (capillary zone electrophoresis, electrokinetic chromatography, and micellar, microemulsion, and liposome-electrokinetic chromatography) and further subsections according to the applied detection techniques (UV, capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection, and mass spectrometry). Key parameters of the procedures are summarized in four concise tables. The presented applications cover analyses of active pharmaceutical ingredients and their related substances such as degradation products or enantiomeric impurities. The contribution of reported results to the current knowledge of separation science and general aspects of the practical applications of capillary electrophoretic methods are also discussed.

Abstract
Herein, we report a novel composite fabricated via embedding rod-like Co based metal-organic framework (Co-MOF-74) crystals into MC matrix for the first time. The introduction of MC astricts the size of Co-MOF-74 crystals, enlarges the pore size and improves the electrical conductivity, which lead to the good electrochemical properties of the composite. The fabricated sensor based on Co-MOF-74@MC exhibits superior electrocatalytic activity toward the reduction of pyrazinamide (PZA) and the oxidation of isonicotinyl hydrazide (INZ). Under optimized conditions, the sensor shows two linear ranges from 0.3 to 46.5 μM and 46.5-166.5 μM with a high sensitivity of 7.2 μA μM-1 cm-2 and a detection limit of 0.21 μM for the determination of PZA. The electroanalytical sensing of INZ also gives two linear ranges of 0.15-1.55 μM and 1.55-592.55 μM with a detection limit of 0.094 μM. The mechanism involved was also discussed, briefly. The sensor is assessed toward the detection of PZA and INZ in human serum and urine samples. Recovery values varied from 97.08 to 103.20% for PZA sensing and 96.67-102.90% for INZ sensing, revealing the promising practicality of sensor for PZA and INZ detection.
