    ZHANG Wenjuan, SONG Naizhong, JIA Qiong
    2018, 36 (3):  185-189.  DOI: 10.3724/SP.J.1123.2017.11045
    Abstract ( 498 )   [Full Text(HTML)] () PDF (863KB) ( 49 )  

    Poly(glycidyl methacrylate-ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate) (Poly(GMA-EDMA)) monolith functionalized with cobalt phthalocyanine tetracarboxylic acid (CoPcTc) was prepared. The monolith was used for transferrin (Tf) glycopeptide enrichment. By taking advantage of hydrogen bonds between isoindole subunits of phthalocyanine and glycans and coordination interaction between cobalt and glycopeptides, the monolithic material was efficient and selective. After enrichment of transferrin through the functionalized monolith, 17 glycopeptides were identified by electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. When the concentration of transferrin was reduced to 8.8×10-10mol/L, three glycopeptides could still be obtained. The present method has great potential for trace sample analysis.

    A method for the simultaneous determination of six UV filters in cosmetics by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with solid-phase extraction (SPE) based on graphene sponge (GS) was established. The samples were extracted with methanol by ultrasonic, then cleaned up by home-made SPE cartridges and eluted with acetone. The six UV filters were separated on an Agilent Zorbax SB-C18 column (150 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm). Methanol-water (95:5, v/v) was used as mobile phase and the detection wavelength was 340 nm. The results showed that the limits of detection (LODs, S/N=3) and the limits of quantification (LOQs, S/N=10) of the six UV filters were 0.08-1.82 μg/L and 0.26-6.07 μg/L, respectively. The correlation coefficients (r) were greater than 0.999 except 2-(2'-hydroxy-5'-methyl-phenyl) benzotriazole (r>0.997). The recoveries of the six UV filters were 61.1%-119.0%, and the relative standard deviations (RSDs) were less than 1% (n=6) at the three spiked levels of 20, 50 and 100 μg/L. The method is simple, rapid, sensitive and repeatable, and is suitable for the determination of the UV filters in cosmetics.

    In recent years, a new type of multi-functional porous material, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), is emerging. MOFs are formed by coordination of metal ions or metal clusters with oxygen or nitrogen and contain organic ligands porous skeleton structure. Compared with other traditional inorganic porous materials, MOFs have many advantages such as high specific surface area, large porosity, good thermal stability and diversified structure and function. They are widely used in the fields of gas storage, catalysis, adsorption and separation. In recent years, the applications of MOF composites in sample pretreatment have aroused great interest and widespread concern. Due to the assembly of MOFs and different functional materials, such as polymers, carbon-based materials and magnetic materials, the performance of MOF composites are better than the original MOFs. This review summarizes the applications of MOF composites in sample pretreatment technique in recent years, focuses on the applications of MOFs composites in solid phase microextraction (SPME), solid phase extraction (SPE) and magnetic solid phase extraction (MSPE).

    Abstract ( 467 )   [Full Text(HTML)] () PDF (4031KB) ( 74 )  

    A quaternary ammonium functionalized MIL-101(Cr) named MIL-101(Cr)-NMe3 was synthesized and explored as a novel adsorbent for the fast removal of diclofenac sodium (DCF) in water. The adsorption process of kinetics, adsorption isotherms, thermodynamics, and adsorbent regeneration were investigated. And the effects of key parameters such as pH value and ionic strength on the adsorption of DCF were also studied. The results showed that the adsorption of DCF on MIL-101(Cr)-NMe3 was very fast. Most of DCF were adsorbed in the first 30 min. The adsorption kinetics of DCF on MIL-101(Cr)-NMe3 obeyed pseudo-second-order kinetics. The adsorption isotherms of DCF on MIL-101(Cr)-NMe3 fitted well to the Langmuir adsorption model. And the maximum adsorption capacity was 310.6 mg/g at 20℃. The analysis of the adsorption mechanism showed that the electrostatic interaction and π-π stacking interaction between DCF and MIL-101(Cr)-NMe3 were responsible for the efficient adsorption. Regeneration experiments indicated that the used MIL-101(Cr)-NMe3 was recycled at least five times without significant loss of adsorption capacity. The fast adsorption kinetics, high adsorption capacity, and excellent reusability made MIL-101(Cr)-NMe3 attractive for removal DCF from aqueous solution.

    Polydopamine (PDA) and MIL-53(Fe) modified Fe3O4 particles (MIL-53(Fe)@PDA@Fe3O4 magnetic composite) were prepared by simple one-pot solvothermal method. The obtained composite was introduced to rapidly extract four kinds of sulfonylurea herbicides (SUHs) from environmental water samples by magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE). Then the herbicides were analyzed by a high performance liquid chromatographic system equipped with a photodiode array detector. The mobile phase was a mixture of acetonitrile and water containing 0.01% (v/v) trifluoroacetic acid, and the detection wavelength was 233 nm. Significant extraction parameters were optimized to improve the extraction efficiency. Under the optimum conditions (5 mL desorption solvent of acetone, 4.5 min extraction time, 60 mg adsorbent dosage, 0.5 g NaCl and the pH 3 of the solution), the developed method showed good linearities with correlation coefficients (r) no less than 0.9980. The limits of detection (LODs, S/N=3) of the four SUHs were 0.28-0.77 μg/L. The method was successfully used to determine four SUHs in three kinds of environmental water samples with satisfactory recoveries ranging from 78.8% to 109.7%. Therefore, the MIL-53(Fe)@PDA@Fe3O4 magnetic composite is efficient and has good potential for the extraction of SUHs.

    A high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) method based on amylose derivatives as chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for the chiral separation of four β-blocker enantiomers (propanolol, metoprolol, arotinolol and carvedilol) was established. The effects of different CSPs, volume fractions of mobile phase modifiers and mobile phase additives, column temperatures and flow rates on the chiral separation of the four β-blocker enantiomers were evaluated. Baseline separation of the four β-blockers enantiomers was obtained on a Chiralpak AD-H chiral column using the mobile phase of n-hexane-ethanol-diethylamine (20:80:0.03, v/v/v) at a flow rate of 0.550 mL/min and a column temperature of 40℃. The resolutions of the enantiomers for propanolol, metoprolol, arotinolol and carvedilol were 1.37, 1.80, 2.09 and 4.70, respectively. The separation mechanism of the four β-blocker enantiomers was investigated by thermodynamic analysis and enantiomeric structure analysis. The chiral separation was all enthalpy controlled, and the cave structure of the chiral stationary phase played an important role on the separation. The method provides reference for further studies of the β-blocker enantiomers.

    A method for the identification of relevant impurities in illegal o-chlorophenyl cyclopentyl ketone drug was developed. Identification of impurities could help regulation of this illegal drug and allow the sources of samples of the drug to be identified. An efficient and effective method for qualitatively analyzing samples using high performance liquid chromatography-hybrid ion trap/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HPLC-IT/TOF MS) was developed. The o-chlorophenyl cyclopentyl ketone fragmentation pathway during HPLC-MSn was determined by analyzing a standard by HPLC-IT/TOF MS. The optimized HPLC-IT/TOF MS method allowed two impurities in o-chlorophenyl cyclopentyl ketone samples to be identified. According to the exact mass data of MSn and the element composition analysis, two impurities were identified as o-chlorobenzoic acid anhydride and 1,2-di-o-chlorobenzoylcyclopentene. The synthetic route of the o-chlorophenyl cyclopentyl ketone samples was proposed by analysis of these impurities. The established method made it easy to identify impurities and find the source of this illegal drug. A method for the preparation an o-chlorophenyl cyclopentyl ketone reference standard from actual samples using preparative HPLC was also developed. The mobile phase was methanol-water (85:15, v/v) and flow rate was 8 mL/min. The purity of the obtained standards, determined by analytical HPLC, was 99.53%. This method is simple, efficient, and can be used for the preparation of other illegal drugs.

    A simple method was developed for the rapid extraction, separation and identification by online extraction (OLE) coupled with high performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HPLC-DAD-QTOF-MS). For OLE strategy, a guard column filled with Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae powder (2.0 mg) was connected to manual injection valve by replacing the sample loop. Components were directly extracted and transferred to HPLC-DAD-QTOF-MS system by mobile phases without any extra operation. In comparison with offline heat-reflux extraction, OLE strategy presented higher extraction efficiency. A total of twenty-four flavonoid compounds were detected from Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae according to their retention times, UV spectra, accurate molecular masses, and fragment ions in MS/MS spectra. Neoeriocitrin, limocitrin-3-O-(3-hydroxy-3-methylglutarate)-glucoside and its isomer were discovered for the first time. It is concluded that the developed method offers new perspectives for the rapid separation and identification of natural products.

    Matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) and solid-phase extraction (SPE) were respectively developed for the pretreatment six estrogens in milk powder and liquid milk. It was implied that MSPD was suitable for the treatment of milk powder, while SPE was suitable for liquid milk treatment. Based on the optimized pretreatment procedures, the method for the simultaneous determination of the six estrogens in different dairy products was established by high performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole-ion trap mass spectrometry (HPLC-Q-TRAP-MS). The proposed method provided low limits of detection (LODs, 0.01-0.05 mg/L) and limits of quantification (LOQs, 0.05-0.10 mg/L), wide linearity range of 0.1-200 mg/L (except for estriol of 0.1-20 mg/L) with excellent correlation coefficients (R2)> 0.99. The average recoveries of the six estrogens in milk powder pretreated by MSPD ranged from 71.8% to 106.0% with RSD of 1.6%-9.2% (n=3), while the corresponding average recoveries in liquid milk pretreated by SPE ranged from 70.3% to 108.4% with RSD of 2.0% and 11.0% (n=3) with spiking levels of 1.0, 5.0, and 10 mg/kg, respectively. This sensitive and reliable method meets the demand for the analysis of trace estrogen residues in complex matrices.

    Abstract ( 520 )   [Full Text(HTML)] () PDF (1887KB) ( 108 )  

    A novel hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP)-octanol supramolecular solvent (SUPRAS) based dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) method was developed for the determination of 2,6-dimethylaniline (2,6-DMA) in lidocaine hydrochloride injection coupled with high performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detection (HPLC-UV). n-Octanol was selected as extraction solvent while HFIP was served as dispersing agent, self-assembly inducer of n-octanol as well as density-regulating agent of n-octanol. The HFIP-octanol SUPRAS displays reverse micellar aggregate structures (2-6 μm) with hydrophilic inner cores and is located in the bottom phase of the system after phase separation, which not only facilitates the efficient extraction and enrichment of polar 2,6-DMA, but also simplifies the extraction process. Several parameters influencing the extraction efficiency of 2,6-DMA were investigated and optimized. Under optimum conditions (0.4%(v/v) n-octanol, 5% (v/v) HFIP, vortex for 3 s at 60 W, standing for 3 min, centrifugation for 3 min at 3000 r/min, sample solution pH 9), the novel DLLME-HPLC method shows good linearity for quantitative detection of 2,6-DMA in the range of 1-100 μg/L (R=0.9989). The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.33 μg/L. The enrichment factor (EF) reached about 63. Intra-day and inter-day precisions (n=3) were all below 2.5%. The recoveries were from 93.9% to 100.8%. The results demonstrate that the novel DLLME-HPLC method is suitable for the accurate quantitative determination of 2,6-DMA in lidocaine hydrochloride injection with advantages of simplicity, rapidness, high efficiency and environmental friendliness, and may own high potential in future prospects.

    A novel method was developed for the simultaneous determination of nine typical anions (Cl-, NO2-, ClO3-, NO3-, CO32-, SO42-, S2O32-, SCN-and ClO4-) in explosive residues by ion chromatography (IC). A high capacity anion-exchange IonPac AS20 column (250 mm×4 mm) was used for the separation of the nine anions with gradient elution of KOH. The injection volume was 20 μL, the column temperature was 40℃, and the flow rate was 1.20 mL/min. Inhibitory conductivity detections were adopted in the determinations. Good linearities were found for all the nine anions in their respective ranges. The correlation coefficients were greater than 0.999. The method was applied to the determination of the inorganic ions in explosive residues. The average recovery of the nine ions ranged from 92.5% to 101.3%. The relative standard deviations of the nine anions ranged from 1.86% to 2.79% (n=6). The method is simple, quick, selective and sensitive and can meet the requirement of the analysis.

    Abstract ( 485 )   [Full Text(HTML)] () PDF (1240KB) ( 72 )  

    Fischer-Tropsch (FT) wax is an important material produced from FT synthesis reactions. In this study, an improved separation and identification method for FT wax by high temperature gas chromatography (HTGC) coupled with cold-on-column (without pretreatment) was developed. In our improved separation procedure, the carrier gas was changed to helium and a long chromatographic column was adapted for use at high temperature. The n-alkanes in FT wax were well separated from other unknown components and the heavy components with carbon numbers higher than C90 could be eluted. Unknown components of the FT wax fraction were confirmed as alkanes, alkenes and oxygenated compounds by using HTGC-mass spectrometry. These results improve our understanding of the FT synthesis process and increase our detailed knowledge of FT products.

    A rapid and sensitive method was established for the analysis of peptide antibiotics (bacitracin, polymyxin B and colistin) in animal food by capillary electrochromatography (CEC) coupled with laser induced fluorescence (LIF) using 4-fluoro-7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD-F) as fluorogenic reagent. Peptide antibiotics were derivatized by NBD-F in 50 mmol/L borate buffer (pH 7.5) for 45 min at 60℃. The fluorescence derivatives of peptide antibiotics were separated on a packed phenyl capillary column with a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile-potassium phosphate (pH 5.0, 10 mmol/L) (55:45, v/v) at the flow rate of 0.02 mL/min. A supplementary pressure of 3.8 MPa and a separation voltage of -10 kV were applied. The limits of detection (LODs, S/N=3) were 5.0-10.0 ng/mL, which fulfilled the requirement of maximum residue limits for examined peptide antibiotics. The method was applied to detect peptide antibiotics in milk and feed stuffs. The spiked recoveries of the three peptide antibiotics were 72.9%-112.4%. The method shows some advantages on the simpler pretreatment and higher sensitivity, which can be of great benefit to the residual analysis of the veterinary drugs.

    Abstract ( 457 )   [Full Text(HTML)] () PDF (6038KB) ( 138 )  

    This study explored a strategy of replacing the surface stabilizer of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) on the tag surface with bovine serum albumin (BSA) and developed a BSA coated Au@4-nitrothiophenol(NT)@Ag internal surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) tag Au@NT@Ag@BSA. The Au@NT@Ag@BSA tag retained the monodispersity and high sensitivity of the original tag, while significantly improving the signal stability and biocompatibility. Furthermore, labeling and Raman spectroscopic imaging of SMMC7721 lung cancer cells were realized by the incubation of the cells with the Au@NT@Ag@BSA SERS tags. The results demonstrated that the proposed Au@NT@Ag@BSA internal SERS tags had good potential for in vivo imaging applications.
