Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) have become an alternative green solvent for storage and for stability of DNA. However, an in-depth understanding of binding and molecular interactions between ILs and DNA is needed. In this respect, magnetic ILs (MILs) are promising due to their tunable physicochemical properties. Various spectroscopic techniques and molecular simulations have been employed to unravel the critical factors of the strength and binding mechanism of MILs with DNA. UV-vis spectra unravel the multimodal binding of MILs with DNA, and the intrusion of IL molecules into the minor groove of DNA has been observed from dye displacement studies. Fluorescence correlation spectroscopic studies and scanning electron microscopy confirm the compaction of the DNA. ITC and molecular docking studies estimate the binding affinity of DNA with MILs, of ∼7 kcal mol-1. The 1 μs long-MD simulations give insight into the structural changes in the DNA in the MIL environment. Due to strong interaction with choline ions in the close vicinity, DNA helixes bend or squeeze in length and dilate in diameter (elliptical → spherical), leading to compaction. The post-MD parameters suggest a stronger interaction with [Ch]2[Mn] IL than with [Ch][Fe] IL; hence, the former induces DNA compaction to a more significant extent. Furthermore, decompaction is observed with the addition of sodium salts and is characterized using spectroscopic methods.

Sequence-specific eDNA extraction using hydrophobic magnetic ionic liquids attached with oligonucleotide strand. Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1239:340612. [PMID: 36628697 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2022.340612] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2022] [Revised: 10/09/2022] [Accepted: 11/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Isolation of high-purity nucleic acids, especially sequence-specific DNA, from complex samples is critical to the downstream nucleic acid analysis. In this work, an oligonucleotide strand-attached magnetic ionic liquid (OSMIL) was designed and prepared for DNA extraction. The attached oligonucleotide strand has a sequence complementary to that of a specific DNA to be extracted. The OSMIL has good hydrophobicity and magnetic response properties. At the extraction temperature, OSMIL was in a liquid state, which was favorable for maximizing the adsorption of DNA; while at the separation temperature, OSMIL was in a solid state (with an average particle size of 897 nm) and could be attracted by an external magnet in 3s, which was favorable for the separation and recovery of DNA. The sequence-specific DNA extraction process with OSMIL is simple and fast. After extraction, the DNA-enriched OSMILs were quickly attracted and separated by an external magnetic field. The extracted DNA was evaluated by a NanoDrop (wavelength detection at 260-280 nm) and the OSMIL can be recycled and reused. The enrichment factor was 0.81. Through single-factor experimental analysis, the effects of OSMIL extraction volume, thermal excitation temperature, thermal excitation time, pH, and other factors on the DNA extraction process were systematically investigated. The RSD of repeatability experiment was 1.19% (n = 3), showing the method has good repeatability. The extraction method presented here has been shown to extract DNA with specific sequences from mixtures containing DNA of different sequences and from mixtures containing proteins, respectively. In addition, the OSMIL has been applied to extract target environmental DNA with specific sequences from different water environments with high extraction efficiency. In the long run, OSMIL has great potential for identifying existing organisms in environmental samples or exploring unknown organisms.

Abstract
A phenylpropyl guanidinium magnetic ionic liquid (PGMIL) was designed and prepared to extract RNA from complex samples. The properties of PGMIL were characterized by a vibrating sample magnetometer, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, thermogravimetric analyzer, transmission electron microscope, and scanning electron microscope. Through single-factor analysis, the factors affecting the RNA extraction process, such as PGMIL volume, temperature, extraction time, and pH, were systematically investigated. The ability of PGMIL to selectively extract RNA was investigated by a NanoDrop. Under the optimized conditions, the extraction efficiency of RNA can reach 81.9 ± 1.9%. The proposed extraction method has been demonstrated with the extraction of RNA from a series of complex sample matrices, including a metal ion mixture and medicinal yeast. After extraction, the retained RNA could be readily recovered by simply using Tris-HCl buffer, with a recovery rate of 68.11 ± 2.45%. Regeneration studies have shown that the extraction efficiency of PGMIL did not change significantly after using 4 times. This study provides a green, rapid, and environmental friendly extraction method for the selective extraction of RNA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Plant DNA isolation and purification is a time-consuming and laborious process relative to epithelial and viral DNA sample preparation due to the cell wall. The lysis of plant cells to free intracellular DNA normally requires high temperatures, chemical surfactants, and mechanical separation of plant tissue prior to a DNA purification step. Traditional DNA purification methods also do not aid themselves towards fieldwork due to the numerous chemical and bulky equipment requirements. RESULTS In this study, intact plant tissue was coated by hydrophobic magnetic ionic liquids (MILs) and ionic liquids (ILs) and allowed to incubate under static conditions or dispersed in a suspension buffer to facilitate cell disruption and DNA extraction. The DNA-enriched MIL or IL was successfully integrated into the qPCR buffer without inhibiting the reaction. The two aforementioned advantages of ILs and MILs allow plant DNA sample preparation to occur in one minute or less without the aid of elevated temperatures or chemical surfactants that typically inhibit enzymatic amplification methods. MIL or IL-coated plant tissue could be successfully integrated into a qPCR assay without the need for custom enzymes or manual DNA isolation/purification steps that are required for conventional methods. CONCLUSIONS The limited amount of equipment, chemicals, and time required to disrupt plant cells while simultaneously extracting DNA using MILs makes the described procedure ideal for fieldwork and lab work in low resource environments.

Remarkable progress has been achieved in the application of magnetic ionic liquids in microextraction-based procedures. These materials exhibit unique physicochemical properties of ionic liquids featuring additional responses to magnetic fields by incorporating a paramagnetic component within the chemical structure. This intriguing property can open new horizons in analytical extractions because the solvent manipulation is facilitated. Moreover, the tunable chemical structures of magnetic ionic liquids also allow for task-specific extractions that can significantly increase the method selectivity. This review aimed at providing an up-to-date overview of articles involving synthesis, physicochemical properties, and applications of magnetic ionic liquids highlighting recent developments and configurations. Moreover, a section containing critical evaluation and future trends in magnetic ionic liquid-based extractions is included.

Abstract
Six hydrophobic magnetic guanidinium ionic liquids (HMILs) were designed and prepared for the extraction of DNA. The physical and thermal properties of the HMILs were characterized using vibrating sample magnetometry, density meter, rotational rheometer, Karl Fischer moisture, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, and thermogravimetric analysis. Single-stranded DNA and duplex DNA extracted by HMILs can be rapidly collected by a magnet. Three assisted extraction methods, including vortex extraction, mechanical shaking extraction, and ultrasonic extraction, were introduced to extract DNA with HMILs and the extraction efficiencies were evaluated using NanoDrop. Influencing factors of the DNA extraction were comprehensively evaluated, involving the HMIL volume, extraction time, pH, and extraction temperature. The HMIL-based extraction method can well extract DNA from complex matrices and Escherichia coli cell lysates.

Magnetic ionic liquids as microRNA extraction solvents and additives for the exponential amplification reaction. Anal Chim Acta 2021; 1181:338900.

Abstract
The detection of microRNAs (miRNAs) from highly complex matrices has become an area of immense interest as their characterization in biological samples has been utilized for disease diagnosis and body fluid identification. However, conventional northern blotting miRNA detection lacks the sensitivity required to detect circulating miRNAs. Additionally, polymerase chain reaction-based methods for miRNA detection require modified oligonucleotides that are difficult to design. Exponential amplification reaction (EXPAR) is an isothermal amplification method used for miRNA detection that is simple to design but suffers from non-specific amplification that masks low concentration miRNAs. Previous studies have shown that magnetic ionic liquids (MILs) are a promising alternative to traditional nucleic acid extraction methods capable of preconcentrating DNA from complex matrices. In this study, three hydrophobic magnetic ionic liquids (MILs) were investigated as EXPAR additives and miRNA extraction solvents. The addition of MIL to the EXPAR buffer decreased the background signal from non-specific amplification and increased the reaction rate. Reactions containing MIL could detect miRNA at concentration levels down to 10 aM. In comparison, reactions that did not contain MIL could not discriminate 10 fM lethal-7a (let-7a) standards from the no trigger control (NTC). All three MILs extracted miRNA from 2-fold diluted plasma, artificial urine, and artificial saliva with only a 1 min dispersion step. By integrating the miRNA-enriched MIL into the EXPAR buffer, the extraction and detection of femtomolar concentrations of miRNA required only 10 min. In contrast, conventional spin column kits require at least 20 min to isolate miRNA, indicating that a dispersive MIL-based extraction is ideal for high throughput analysis of miRNA.

Abstract
Recent advancements in microfluidics and lab-on-a-chip technologies enabled miniaturization and automation of many downstream nucleic acid analysis steps such as PCR. However, DNA extraction/isolation protocol remains a stand-alone sample preparation step. For a quick sample-to-result solution, downstream protocols and sample preparation protocols need to be seamlessly integrated into a single lab-on-a-chip platform. As a step toward such integration, this paper introduces microfluidic DNA isolation using the liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) method in the drop-to-drop (DTD) format. The electrowetting-on-dielectric digital microfluidic platform is capable of handling a two-phase liquid system easily, which enables DTD LLE. In this study, the extraction of plasmid DNA (pDNA) from an aqueous sample to an ionic liquid is demonstrated. Prior to pDNA extraction study, the DTD LLE protocol was developed and optimized using organic dyes as solutes. The selective extraction of pDNA in the presence of proteins as interfering molecules is also demonstrated. This work implies that DTD LLE can substitute for magnetic beads steps in standard DNA isolation protocols.

Abstract
Sequence-specific DNA extractions have the potential to improve the detection of low-abundance mutations from complex matrices, making them ideal for circulating tumor DNA analysis during the early stages of cancer. Ion-tagged oligonucleotides (ITOs) are oligonucleotides modified with an allylimidazolium salt via thiolene click chemistry. The allylimidazolium-based tag allows the ITO-DNA duplex to be selectively captured by a hydrophobic magnetic ionic liquid (MIL). In this study, the selectivity of the ITO-MIL method was examined by extracting low abundance of the BRAF V600E mutation-a common single-nucleotide polymorphism associated with several different cancers-from diluted human plasma, artificial urine, and diluted artificial sputum. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was not able to distinguish a 9% BRAF V600E standard (50 fg·μL-1 BRAF V600E, 500 fg·μL-1 wild-type BRAF) from the 100% wild-type BRAF (50 fg·μL-1) standard. However, introducing the ITO-MIL extraction prior to qPCR allowed for samples consisting of 0.1% BRAF V600E (50 fg·μL-1 V600E BRAF, 50,000 fg·μL-1 wild-type BRAF) to be distinguished from the 100% wild-type BRAF standard. Ion-tagged oligonucleotides (ITOs) are combined with magnetic ionic liquids (MILs) to extract low-abundance BRAF V600E mutation from diluted human plasma, artificial urine, and diluted artificial sputum. The ITO-MIL extraction prior to qPCR allowed for samples consisting of 0.1% BRAF V600E to be distinguished from the 100% wild-type BRAF standard.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) have been receiving much attention as solvents in various areas of biochemistry because of their various beneficial properties over the volatile solvents and ILs availability in myriad variants (perhaps as many as 108) owing to the possibility of paring one cation with several anions and vice-versa as well as formulations as zwitterions. Their potential as solvents lies in their tendency to offer both directional and non-directional forces toward a solute molecule. Because of these forces, ionic liquids easily undergo intermolecular interactions with a range of polar/non-polar solutes, including biomolecules such as proteins and DNA. The interaction of genomic species in aqueous/non-aqueous states assists in unraveling their structure and functioning, which have implications in various biomedical applications. The charge density of ionic liquids renders them hydrophilic and hydrophobic, which retain intact over long-range of temperatures. Their ability in stabilizing or destabilizing the 3D-structure of a protein or the double-helical structure of DNA has been assessed superior to the water and volatile organic solvents. The aptitude of an ion in influencing the structure and stability of a native protein depends on their ranking in the Hofmeister series. However, at several instances, a reverse Hofmeister ordering of ions and specific ion-solute interaction has been observed. The capability of an ionic liquid in terms of the tendency to promote the coiling/uncoiling of DNA structure is noted to rely on the basicity, electrostatic interaction, and hydrophobicity of the ionic liquid in question. Any change in the DNA's double-helical structure reflects a change in its melting temperature (T m), compared to a standard buffer solution. These changes in DNA structure have implications in biosensor design and targeted drug-delivery in biomedical applications. In the current review, we have attempted to highlight various aspects of ionic liquids that influence the structure and properties of proteins and DNA. In short, the review will address the issues related to the origin and strength of intermolecular interactions, the effect of structural components, their nature, and the influence of temperature, pH, and additives on them.

Abstract
Conventional DNA sample preparation methods involve tedious sample handling steps that require numerous inhibitors of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and instrumentation to implement. These disadvantages limit the applicability of conventional cell lysis and DNA extraction methods in high-throughput applications, particularly in forensics and clinical laboratories. To overcome these drawbacks, a series of nine hydrophobic magnetic ionic liquids (MILs) previously shown to preconcentrate DNA were explored as cell lysis reagents. The MILs were found to lyse white blood cells from whole blood, 2-fold diluted blood, and dry blood samples while simultaneously extracting human genomic DNA. The identity of metal ion incorporated within the MIL appears to cause hemolysis while the cationic component further reduces the cell's integrity. Over 500 pg of human genomic DNA was isolated from 50 μL of whole blood using the trioctylbenzylammonium tris(hexafluoroacetylaceto)nickelate(II) ([N8,8,8,Bz+][Ni(hfacac)3-]) MIL, and 800 pg DNA was isolated from a dry blood samples using the trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium tris(phenyltrifluoroacetylaceto)nickelate(II) ([P6,6,6,14+][Ni(Phfacac)3-]) MIL following a 1-min vortex step. A rapid, one-step cell lysis and DNA extraction from blood is ideal for settings that seek high-throughput analysis while minimizing the potential for contamination.Graphical abstract.

Anal Chim Acta 2020; 1124:184-193. [PMID: 32534671 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2020.04.078] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2020] [Revised: 04/24/2020] [Accepted: 04/30/2020] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Multiplex amplification of DNA can be highly valuable in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis due to the sheer number of potential mutations. However, commercial ctDNA extraction methods struggle to preconcentrate low concentrations of DNA and require multiple sample handling steps. Recently, magnetic ionic liquids (MILs) have been used to extract DNA and were integrated with a quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). However, in previous studies, DNA could not be preconcentrated from plasma and only one fragment could be amplified per reaction. In this study, MILs were utilized as DNA extraction solvents and directly integrated into a multiplex-qPCR buffer to simultaneously amplify wild-type KRAS, G12S KRAS, and wild-type BRAF, three clinically-relevant genes whose mutation status can affect the success of anti-EGFR therapy. DNA was desorbed from the MIL solvent during a multiplex-PCR without having a significant effect on the amplification efficiency, and allelic discrimination of single-nucleotide polymorphisms could still be achieved. Enrichment factors over 35 for all three sequences were achieved from Tris buffer using the [N8,8,8,Bz+][Ni(hfacac)3-]) and [P6,6,6,14+][Ni(Phtfacac)3-] MILs. DNA could still be preconcentrated from 2-fold diluted human plasma using the [N8,8,8,Bz+][Ni(hfacac)3-] MIL. Extractions from undiluted plasma were reproducible with the [P6,6,6,14+][Ni(Phtfacac)3-] MIL although DNA was not preconcentrated with enrichment factors around 0.6 for all three fragments. Compared to commercial DNA extraction methods (i.e., silica-based spin columns and magnetic beads), the MIL-based extraction achieved higher enrichment factors in Tris buffer and plasma. The ability of the MIL-based dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) direct-multiplex-qPCR method to simultaneously achieve high enrichment factors of multiple DNA fragments from human plasma is highly promising in the field of ctDNA detection.

Abstract
Biological samples are usually complex matrices due to the presence of proteins, salts and a variety of organic compounds with chemical properties similar to those of the target analytes. Therefore, sample preparation is often mandatory in order to isolate the analytes from troublesome matrices before instrumental analysis. Because the number of samples in drug development, doping analysis, forensic science, toxicological analysis, and preclinical and clinical assays is steadily increasing, novel high throughput sample preparation approaches are calling for. The key factors in this development are the miniaturization and the automation of the sample preparation approaches so as to cope with most of the twelve principles of green chemistry. In this review, recent trends in sample preparation and novel strategies will be discussed in detail with particular focus on sorptive and liquid-phase microextraction in bioanalysis. The actual applicability of selective sorbents is also considered. Additionally, the role of 3D printing in microextraction for bioanalytical methods will be pinpointed.

Abstract
Several magnetic ionic liquids (MILs), [P6,6,6,14+][FeCl4-], [P6,6,6,14+]2[MnCl42-], [P6,6,6,14+]2[CoCl42-] and [P6,6,6,14+]2[NiCl42-] were synthesized and applied for the extraction of six estrogens (estrone, estradiol, 17-α-hydroxyprogesterone, chloromadinone 17-acetate, megestrol 17-acetate and medroxyprogesterone 17-acetate) in dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME). The [CoCl42-]-based MIL was selected as extraction solvent for the separation and concentration of estrogens from milk and cosmetics due to its visual recognition, no sign of hydrolysis, solution acquisition easier and the highest extraction capacity. In addition, the [CoCl42-]-based MIL with low UV absorbance allows direct analysis of the extraction solvent by HPLC-UV. The influence of the mass of MIL, extraction time, salt concentration, and the pH of the sample solution was investigated to obtain optimized extraction efficiency. Besides, extraction conditions including salt concentration, mass of MIL and extraction time were further optimized by the Box-Behnken design through the response surface method. Under optimized conditions, the limits of detection (LODs) of all estrogens were ranged from 5 ng mL-1 to 15 ng mL-1. The recoveries ranging from 98.5% to 109.3% in milk and from 96.3% to 111.4% in cosmetics were also studied, respectively. Furthermore, the proposed method were statistically compared with the reported conventional IL-DLLME method and the National standard methods of food safety and cosmetics. The experimental results showed that the functionalized MIL could successfully applied for extraction, separation and pretreatment of estrogens in milk and cosmetics.

Selective hybridization and capture of KRAS DNA from plasma and blood using ion-tagged oligonucleotide probes coupled to magnetic ionic liquids. Anal Chim Acta 2019; 1094:1-10.

Abstract
Detection of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) presents several challenges due to single-nucleotide polymorphisms and large amounts of background DNA. Previously, we reported a sequence-specific DNA extraction procedure utilizing functionalized oligonucleotides called ion-tagged oligonucleotides (ITOs) and disubstituted ion-tagged oligonucleotides (DTOs). ITOs and DTOs are capable of hybridizing to complementary DNA for subsequent capture by a magnetic ionic liquid (MIL) through hydrophobic interactions, π-π stacking, and fluorophilic interactions. However, the performance of the ITOs and DTOs in complex sample matrices has not yet been evaluated. In this study, we compare the amount of KRAS DNA extracted using ITO and DTOs from saline, 2-fold diluted plasma, 10-fold diluted plasma, and 10-fold diluted blood. We demonstrate that ITO/DTO-MIL extraction is capable of selectively preconcentrating DNA from diluted plasma and blood without additional sample preparation steps. In comparison, streptavidin-coated magnetic beads were unable to selectively extract DNA from 10-fold diluted plasma and 10-fold diluted blood without additional sample clean-up steps. Significantly more DNA could be extracted from 2-fold diluted plasma and 10-fold diluted blood matrices using the DTO probes compared to the ITO probes, likely due to stronger interactions between the probe and MIL. The ability of the DTO-MIL method to selectively preconcentrate small concentrations of DNA from complex biological matrices suggests that this method could be beneficial for ctDNA analysis.

Simple lysis of bacterial cells for DNA-based diagnostics using hydrophilic ionic liquids. Sci Rep 2019; 9:13994.

Abstract
The extraction of nucleic acids from microorganisms for subsequent molecular diagnostic applications is still a tedious and time-consuming procedure. We developed a method for the rapid preparation of genomic DNA from bacteria based on hydrophilic ionic liquids (ILs). First, we tested eight ILs in different buffer systems for their inhibitory effects on quantitative PCR. The cell lysis potential of different IL/buffer combinations was assessed by application on Enterococcus faecalis as a model organism for Gram-positive bacteria. The two best ILs, choline hexanoate and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate, were compared with the reference enzymatic method and two commercial DNA extraction kits. All methods were evaluated on four Gram-positive and four Gram-negative bacterial species that are highly relevant for environmental, food, or clinical diagnostics. In comparison to the reference method, extraction yields of the IL-based procedure were within one order of magnitude for most of the strains. The final protocol for DNA extraction using the two ILs is very low-cost, avoids the use of hazardous chemicals and can be performed in five minutes on a simple heating block. This makes the method ideal for high sample throughput and offers the opportunity for DNA extraction from bacteria in resource-limited settings or even in the field.

Abstract
Targeted nucleic acid analysis requires the highly selective extraction of desired DNA fragments in order to minimize interferences from samples with abundant heterogeneous sequences. We previously reported a method based on functionalized oligonucleotide probes known as ion-tagged oligonucleotides (ITOs) that hybridize with complementary DNA targets for subsequent capture using a hydrophobic magnetic ionic liquid (MIL) support. Although the ITO-MIL approach enriched specific DNA sequences in quantities comparable to a commercial magnetic bead-based method, the modest affinity of the ITO for the hydrophobic MIL limited the yield of DNA targets, particularly when stringent wash conditions were applied to remove untargeted DNA. Here, we report the synthesis and characterization of a series of ITOs in which functional groups were installed within the cation and anion components of the tag moiety in order to facilitate loading of the ITO to the MIL support phase. In addition to hydrophobic interactions, we demonstrate that π-π stacking and fluorophilic interactions can be exploited for loading oligonucleotide probes onto MILs. Using a disubstituted ion-tagged oligonucleotide (DTO) possessing two linear C8 groups, nearly quantitative loading of the probe onto the MIL support was achieved. The enhanced stability of the DTO within the MIL solvent permitted successive wash steps without the loss of the DNA target compared to a monosubstituted ITO with a single C8 group that was susceptible to increased loss of analyte. Furthermore, the successful capture of a 120 bp KRAS fragment from human plasma samples followed by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) amplification is demonstrated.

Abstract
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a source of mutant DNA found in plasma and holds great promise in guiding cancer diagnostics, prognostics, and treatment. However, ctDNA fragments are challenging to detect in plasma due to their low abundance compared to wild-type DNA. In this study, a series of ion-tagged oligonucleotides (ITO) were synthesized using thiol-ene click chemistry and designed to selectively anneal target DNA. The ITO-DNA duplex was subsequently captured using a hydrophobic magnetic ionic liquid (MIL) as a liquid support. Extracted target DNA was quantified by adding the DNA-enriched MIL to the quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) buffer to streamline the extraction procedure. Clinically relevant concentrations of the mutation prone KRAS fragment, which has been linked to colorectal, lung, and bladder cancer, were preconcentrated using the ITO-MIL strategy allowing for enrichment factors as high as 19.49 ± 1.44 from pure water and 4.02 ± 0.50 from 10-fold diluted plasma after a 1 min extraction. Preconcentration could only be achieved when adding the ITO probe to the sample validating the selectivity of the ITO in the capture process. In addition, the amplification efficiency of qPCR was not affected when performing extractions from a diluted-plasma matrix demonstrating that the ITO-MIL approach coupled to direct-qPCR can be used to quantitate DNA from complex matrices. In comparison, commercially available steptavidin-coated magnetic beads were observed to lose selectivity when performing extractions from a 10-fold diluted plasma matrix. The selectivity of the ITO-MIL method, coupled with the ability to rapidly preconcentrate clinically relevant concentrations of target DNA from 10-fold diluted plasma, suggests that this method has the potential to be applied towards the extraction of ctDNA fragments from clinical samples.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nowadays, there is an increasing demand for fast and reliable plant biomolecular analyses. Conventional methods for the isolation of nucleic acids are time-consuming and require multiple and often non-automatable steps to remove cellular interferences, with consequence that sample preparation is the major bottleneck in the bioanalytical workflow. New opportunities have been created by the use of magnetic ionic liquids (MILs) thanks to their affinity for nucleic acids. RESULTS In the present study, a MIL-based magnet-assisted dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (maDLLME) method was optimized for the extraction of genomic DNA from Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh leaves. MILs containing different metal centers were tested and the extraction method was optimized in terms of MIL volume and extraction time for purified DNA and crude lysates. The proposed approach yielded good extraction efficiency and is compatible with both quantitative analysis through fluorimetric-based detection and qualitative analysis as PCR amplification of multi and single locus genes. The protocol was successfully applied to a set of plant species and tissues. CONCLUSIONS The developed MIL-based maDLLME approach exhibits good enrichment of nucleic acids for extraction of template suitable for targeted PCR; it is very fast, sustainable and potentially automatable thereby representing a powerful tool for screening plants rapidly using DNA-based methods.

Abstract
In this study, four triazine herbicides-namely, simazine, ametryn, prometryn and terbuthylazine-were separated and determined using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with ultraviolet detector (HPLC-UVD). The deep eutectic solvent (DES) formed by tetrabutylammonium chloride ([N4444]Cl, TBA) and ethylene glycol (EG) was selected as the extraction solvent of vortex-assisted reversed-phase liquid-liquid microextraction (VA-RPLLME). The application of the hydrophilic DES expands the range of choice for LLME. The experimental parameters affecting the extraction recoveries, including the amount of the DES, the sample volume and the vortex time, were investigated and optimized by the design of experiments (DoE) methodology. A quadratic model, namely central composite face-centered (CCF) design featuring 20 runs was used instead of the conventional trial and error approach. Under optimum conditions, the limits of determination (LODs) of the method were 0.60-1.50 μg L-1. The enrichment factors for the analytes ranged from 27 to 31. The extraction recoveries were in the range of 84.1-104.9%, and the intra-day, inter-day and intermediate relative standard deviations (RSDs) were less than 8.4%. Finally, the method was applied for the determination of triazine herbicides in vegetable oil samples. The obtained recoveries were in the range of 60.1-107.2% and RSDs were lower than 8.1%. In general, VA-RPLLME can be complementary to the present available methods for the determination of triazine herbicides in vegetable oil samples.

Abstract
A new class of magnetic ionic liquid (MIL) containing paramagnetic cations has been applied for in situ dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction in the determination of both polar and non-polar pollutants, including ultraviolet filters, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, alkylphenols, a plasticizer and a preservative in aqueous samples. The MILs were based on cations containing Ni(II) metal centers coordinated with four N-alkylimidazole ligands and chloride anions. The MILs were capable of undergoing in situ metathesis reaction with the bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imide ([NTf2-]) anion during the microextraction procedure, generating a water-immiscible extraction solvent containing the preconcentrated analytes. The MIL was then isolated by magnetic separation, followed by direct analysis using reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection. Among all of the studied MILs, those containing the N-butylimidazole and N-benzylimidazole ligands ([Ni(C4IM)42+]2[Cl-] and [Ni(BeIM)42+]2[Cl-], respectively) exhibited the best extraction performance. The method under optimum conditions required 5 mL of sample at pH 3, 20 mg of [Ni(C4IM)42+]2[Cl-] or 30 mg of [Ni(BeIM)42+]2[Cl-], 300 μL of acetone or acetonitrile as dispersive solvent (depending on the MIL), a 1:2 M ratio of MIL to [NTf2-], and 3 min of vortex. The developed method achieved higher extraction efficiency compared to the conventional MIL-dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction mode, with extraction efficiencies of 46.8-88.6% and 65.4-97.0% for the [Ni(C4IM)42+]2[Cl-] and the [Ni(BeIM)42+]2[Cl-] MILs (at a spiked level of 81 μg L-1), respectively, limits of detection down to 5.2 μg L-1, and inter-day relative standard deviation lower than 16%.

Abstract
Oligonucleotide probes were designed with a poly-cytosine region that facilitates stable anchoring to a magnetic ionic liquid support. By tethering a recognition sequence to the poly-C tag, the resulting diblock oligonucleotides distinguished single-nucleotide variants and captured DNA targets from interfering genomic DNA and cell lysate for qPCR amplification.

Abstract
Magnetic ionic liquids (MILs), which incorporate paramagnetic ions, promise to minimize manual user intervention, decrease extraction times, and facilitate rapid recovery of the analyte-enriched extraction solvent. If, however, fluorescence is employed in the downstream analysis of an analyte tagged with a fluorophore, the paramagnetic ion may quench fluorescence by introducing new nonradiative processes. Thus, it is necessary to employ a paramagnetic ion that offers a compromise between possessing a high magnetic moment and not introducing new nonradiative channels. Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II), and Ni(II) are considered in combination with phosphonium cations and anionic ligands based upon halides or hexafluoroacetylacetonate. Among the possibilities examined, MILs containing Mn(II) provide the best alternative for a model system involving DNA.

Preconcentration of DNA using magnetic ionic liquids that are compatible with real-time PCR for rapid nucleic acid quantification. Anal Bioanal Chem 2018; 410:4135-4144.

Abstract
Nucleic acid extraction and purification represents a major bottleneck in DNA analysis. Traditional methods for DNA purification often require reagents that may inhibit quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) if not sufficiently removed from the sample. Approaches that employ magnetic beads may exhibit lower extraction efficiencies due to sedimentation and aggregation. In this study, four hydrophobic magnetic ionic liquids (MILs) were investigated as DNA extraction solvents with the goal of improving DNA enrichment factors and compatibility with downstream bioanalytical techniques. By designing custom qPCR buffers, we directly incorporated DNA-enriched MILs including trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium tris(hexafluoroacetylaceto)nickelate(II) ([P6,6,6,14+][Ni(hfacac)3-]), [P6,6,6,14+] tris(hexafluoroacetylaceto)colbaltate(II) ([Co(hfacac)3-]), [P6,6,6,14+] tris(hexafluoroacetylaceto)manganate(II) ([Mn(hfacac)3-]), or [P6,6,6,14+] tetrakis(hexafluoroacetylaceto)dysprosate(III) ([Dy(hfacac)4-]) into reaction systems, thereby circumventing the need for time-consuming DNA recovery steps. Incorporating MILs into the reaction buffer did not significantly impact the amplification efficiency of the reaction (91.1%). High enrichment factors were achieved using the [P6,6,6,14+][Ni(hfacac)3-] MIL for the extraction of single-stranded and double-stranded DNA with extraction times as short as 2 min. When compared to a commercial magnetic bead-based platform, the [P6,6,6,14+][Ni(hfacac)3-] MIL was capable of producing higher enrichment factors for single-stranded DNA and similar enrichment factors for double-stranded DNA. The MIL-based method was applied for the extraction and direct qPCR amplification of mutation prone-KRAS oncogene fragment in plasma samples. Graphical abstract Magnetic ionic liquid solvents are shown to preconcentrate sufficient KRAS DNA template from an aqueous solution in as short as 2 min without using chaotropic salts or toxic organic solvents. By using custom-designed qPCR buffers, DNA can be directly amplified and quantified from four MILs examined in this study.

Abstract
Nucleic acids have emerged as powerful biological and nanotechnological tools. In biological and nanotechnological experiments, methods of extracting and purifying nucleic acids from various types of cells and their storage are critical for obtaining reproducible experimental results. In nanotechnological experiments, methods for regulating the conformational polymorphism of nucleic acids and increasing sequence selectivity for base pairing of nucleic acids are important for developing nucleic acid-based nanomaterials. However, dearth of media that foster favourable behaviour of nucleic acids has been a bottleneck for promoting the biology and nanotechnology using the nucleic acids. Ionic liquids (ILs) are solvents that may be potentially used for controlling the properties of the nucleic acids. Here, we review researches regarding the behaviour of nucleic acids in ILs. The efficiency of extraction and purification of nucleic acids from biological samples is increased by IL addition. Moreover, nucleic acids in ILs show long-term stability, which maintains their structures and enhances nuclease resistance. Nucleic acids in ILs can be used directly in polymerase chain reaction and gene expression analysis with high efficiency. Moreover, the stabilities of the nucleic acids for duplex, triplex, and quadruplex (G-quadruplex and i-motif) structures change drastically with IL cation-nucleic acid interactions. Highly sensitive DNA sensors have been developed based on the unique changes in the stability of nucleic acids in ILs. The behaviours of nucleic acids in ILs detailed here should be useful in the design of nucleic acids to use as biological and nanotechnological tools.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) are versatile solvents for a broad range of biotechnological applications. Recent experimental and simulation results highlight the potential benefits of dilute ILs in aqueous solution (aqueous ILs) in order to modify protein and DNA structures systematically. In contrast to a limited number of standard co-solutes like urea, ectoine, trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO), or guanidinium chloride, the large amount of possible cation and anion combinations in aqueous ILs can be used to develop tailor-made stabilizers or destabilizers for specific purposes. In this review article, we highlight common principles and differences between aqueous ILs and standard co-solutes with a specific focus on their underlying macromolecular stabilization or destabilization behavior. In combination with statistical thermodynamics theories, we present an efficient framework, which is used to classify structure modification effects consistently. The crucial importance of enthalpic and entropic contributions to the free energy change upon IL-assisted macromolecular unfolding in combination with a complex destabilization mechanism is described in detail. A special focus is also set on aqueous IL-DNA interactions, for which experimental and simulation outcomes are summarized and discussed in the context of previous findings.

Abstract
In this study, a series of magnetic ionic liquids (MILs) were investigated for the extraction and preconcentration of bacteria from aqueous samples. By dispersing small volumes (e.g., 15 μL) of MIL within an aqueous cell suspension, bacteria were rapidly extracted and isolated using a magnetic field. Of the seven hydrophobic MILs examined, the trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium Ni(II) hexafluoroacetylacetonate ([P66614+][Ni(hfacac)3-]) MIL exhibited the greatest enrichment of viable Escherichia coli K12 when coupled with microbiological culture as the detection method. The MIL-based strategy was applied for the preconcentration of E. coli from aqueous samples to obtain enrichment factors (E F) as high as 44.6 in less than 10 min. The MIL extraction approach was also interfaced with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification where the positive detection of E. coli was achieved with the [P66614+][Co(hfacac)3-], [P66614+][Ni(hfacac)3-], [P66614+][Dy(hfacac)4-], and [P66614+][Nd(hfacac)4-] MILs. While direct sampling of an aqueous cell suspension at a concentration of 1.68 × 104 colony-forming units (CFUs) mL-1 yielded no amplicon when subjected to PCR, extraction of the sample with the [P66614+][Ni(hfacac)3-] MIL under optimized conditions provided sufficient enrichment of E. coli for amplicon detection. Importantly, the enrichment of bacteria using the Ni(II)-, Co(II)-, and Dy(III)-based MILs was compatible with real-time quantitative PCR amplification to dramatically improve sample throughput and lower detection limits to 1.0 × 102 CFUs mL-1. The MIL-based method is much faster than existing enrichment approaches that typically require 24-h cultivation times prior to detection and could potentially be applied for the preconcentration of a variety of Gram-negative bacteria from aqueous samples. Graphical abstract Magnetic ionic liquid solvents rapidly preconcentrate viable E. coli cells for unambiguous pathogen detection using microbiological culture and qPCR.

Abstract
The isolation of specific nucleic acid sequences is a major bottleneck in molecular diagnostics. Magnetic beads/particles are typically used as solid supports for the capture of DNA targets to improve sample throughput but aggregate over time resulting in lower capture efficiency and obstruction of liquid handling devices. Herein, we describe a particle-free approach to sequence-specific DNA extraction using a magnetic liquid support and ion-tagged oligonucleotide (ITO) probes. ITO conjugates were synthesized with the highest yields ever achieved for the radical thiol-ene coupling of a substrate and oligonucleotide. In addition to distinguishing nucleotide mismatches, the ITO and magnetic liquid-based approach was more sensitive than a commercial magnetic bead-based method for the capture of target DNA from a pool of interfering genomic DNA.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) have been proposed as promising media for the extraction and separation of bioactive compounds from the most diverse origins. This critical review offers a compilation on the main results achieved by the use of ionic-liquid-based processes in the extraction and separation/purification of a large range of bioactive compounds (including small organic extractable compounds from biomass, lipids, and other hydrophobic compounds, proteins, amino acids, nucleic acids, and pharmaceuticals). ILs have been studied as solvents, cosolvents, cosurfactants, electrolytes, and adjuvants, as well as used in the creation of IL-supported materials for separation purposes. The IL-based processes hitherto reported, such as IL-based solid-liquid extractions, IL-based liquid-liquid extractions, IL-modified materials, and IL-based crystallization approaches, are here reviewed and compared in terms of extraction and separation performance. The key accomplishments and future challenges to the field are discussed, with particular emphasis on the major lacunas found within the IL community dedicated to separation processes and by suggesting some steps to overcome the current limitations.

Abstract
DNA is one of the most frequently analyzed molecules in the life sciences. In this article we describe a simple and fast protocol for quantitative DNA isolation from bacteria based on hydrophobic ionic liquid supported cell lysis at elevated temperatures (120-150 °C) for subsequent PCR-based analysis. From a set of five hydrophobic ionic liquids, 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide was identified as the most suitable for quantitative cell lysis and DNA extraction because of limited quantitative PCR inhibition by the aqueous eluate as well as no detectable DNA uptake. The newly developed method was able to efficiently lyse Gram-negative bacterial cells, whereas Gram-positive cells were protected by their thick cell wall. The performance of the final protocol resulted in quantitative DNA extraction efficiencies for Gram-negative bacteria similar to those obtained with a commercial kit, whereas the number of handling steps, and especially the time required, was dramatically reduced. Graphical Abstract After careful evaluation of five hydrophobic ionic liquids, 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([BMPyr + ][Ntf 2- ]) was identified as the most suitable ionic liquid for quantitative cell lysis and DNA extraction. When used for Gram-negative bacteria, the protocol presented is simple and very fast and achieves DNA extraction efficiencies similar to those obtained with a commercial kit. ddH 2 O double-distilled water, qPCR quantitative PCR.
