Over the past 15 years, COFs have made rapid progress and substantial development in the chemistry and materials fields. However, the synthesis of COFs has been dominated by solvothermal methods for a long time and it usually involves high temperature, high pressure and toxic organic solvents, which created many challenges for environmental considerations. Recently,the exploration of new approaches for facile fabrication of COFs has aroused extensive interest. Hence, in this review, we comprehensively describe the synthetic strategies of COFs from the aspects of nonconventional heating methods and reaction media. In addition, the advantages,limitations and properties of the preparation methods are compared. Finally, we outline the main challenges and development prospects of the synthesis of COFs in the future and propose some possible solutions.展开更多

Various racemates(aryl alcohols, flavanones, triazoles, benzoin, etc.) were well separated on the tricarboxylic acid modified chiral stationary phases in both normal and reversed modes with good reproducibility and stability, and the influence of mobile phase composition on resolution(R_(s)) were deeply investigated. The RSD values of Rsfor repeatability and column-to-column were below 1.28% and 3.05%, respectively. Hence, the fabrication of tricarboxylic acid modified chiral stationary phase(CSPs) is a new efficient strategy to improve the application of β-cyclodextrin as CSPs in the field of chromatography.展开更多

In the absence of Sl endonuclease, the fluorescence signal of the ROX-ssDNA was efficiently quenched when the ROX-ssDNA was adsorbed on the surface of AgNRs via strong electrostatic interaction. However, upon addition of different concentration of Sl endonuclease, the fluorescence was gradually restored owing to the reduction of FRET efficiency caused by S1 endonuclease specific cleavage ROX-ssDNA into short fragments, which reduced the electrostatic interaction between AgNRs and short oligonucleotide fragment. This assay strategy exhibited a high sensitivity and excellent specificity for S1 endonuclease with a detection limit of 0.004 U/mL and a dynamic concentration range from 0.01 U/mL to 5.0 U/mL. In addition, the capabilities for screening of S1 endonuclease inhibitors and S1 endonuclease detection from complex biological matrixes were also verified.展开更多

Unlike fluorescence intensity, FP/FA is almost independent the concentration or quantum of fluorophores, but they are highly dependent on the size or molecular weight of the molecules or materials attached to fluorophores. Recently, significant progress in FP/FA was made, due to the introduction of some nanomaterials as FP/FA enhancers. The detection sensitivity is thus greatly improved by using nanomaterials as FP/FA enhancers, and nanomaterial-based FP/FA is currently used successfully in immunoassay, and analysis of protein, nucleic acid, small molecule and metal ion.Nanomaterial-based FP/FA provides a new kind of strategy to design fluorescent sensors and establishes innovative analytical methods. In this review, we summarize the scientific publications in the field of FP/FA sensor in recent five years, and first introduce the recent progress of FP/FA sensor based on nanomaterial. Subsequently, the various analytical applications of FP/FA based on nanomaterial are discussed. Finally, we provide perspectives on the current challenges and future prospects in this promising field.展开更多

文摘The water-soluble polysaccharide LBP-1 was isolated and characterized from Lycium barbarum L.LBP-1 was mainly composed of arabinose,galactose,glucose,xylose,mannose at a molar ratio of 37.53:28.08:14.72:7.83:4.50,respectively.Based on nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)and methylation analysis,the backbone of LBP-1 was speculated in theα-L-Ara(1→[5-α-L-Ara(1→3)-β-D-Galp-(1→]n→4)-α-D-Galp-(1[→5-α-L-Ara(1]n[→6)-β-D-Galp-(1→4)-β-D-Galp-(1→]n,and the side chains of LBP-1 were in theα-L-Ara(1→3)-β-D-Galp-(1→6 position.These results showed that LBP-1 inhibited the growth of cancer A549 cells through cell cycle arrest and apoptosis,with an IC50 value of 42.5μg/mL.In addition,LBP-1 altered the expression of Cyclin D1,Cyclin D3,and CDK 2,thus blocking the cell cycle in G0/G1 phase,reducing cell migration,and regulating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway to induce apoptosis.

文摘Chromatographic substrate material,as a carrier of chromatographic stationary phases,plays a vital role in defining its chromatographic characteristics,including column efficiency,stability,peak capacity and so on.In recent years,superficially porous silica(SPS)was widely valued for its excellent performance in improving the column efficiency due to its special structural properties,which was considered as a real substitute for fully porous SiO_(2)(FPS)and had been used to develop a new generation of highly efficient stationary phase.To help researchers better understand the SPS and further promote its application and development in the field of chromatography,the rapid separation mechanism,preparation method and its applications in the rapid separation and analysis of enantiomers were systematically introduced,and the development prospects of SPS were also prospected in this paper.

文摘Here,silica microspheres were decorated with two-dimensional metal-organic frameworks(2 D MOFs)nanosheets and ionic liquids,and evaluated as the mixed-mode stationary phase for chromatographic separation.The ionic liquids were used to assist the synthesis of 2 D MOFs nanosheets,and also acted as adhesives among the nanosheets and silica.In contrast with the 2 D MOFs-based column without ionic liquids and commercial columns,the prepared column exhibited enhanced chromatographic separation performance for partially hydrophilic compounds such as alkaloids,sulfonamides and antibiotics,etc.In addition to excellent chromatographic repeatability and stability,it has also been verified that the composites could be easily and repeatedly prepared.The relative standard deviation of the retention time of the same type of analyte between the three batches of materials was ranging from 0.21%to 1.7%.In short,these results indicated that the synthesized composites were promising separation material for liquid chromatography,which made it possible to broaden the application of 2 D MOFs in the field of chromatography.

文摘Chiral pillar[n]arenes have shown great research value and application prospect in construction of chiral materials and chiral applications,due to their inherent planar chiral configurations,chiral recognition ability,easy modification and highly symmetric hydrophobic cavity.This review systematically summarized the conformation inversion factors of planar chiral pillar[5]arenes(pR/p S),such as solvents,temperature,substituent size,alkyl chains,chiral and achiral guest molecules.We firstly introduced the applications of chiral pillar[n]arenes for constructing chiral materials and pointed out that planar conformation inversion showed a great potential role in constructing chiral materials.Then,we mainly concluded the chiral applications of chiral and planar chiral pillar[n]arenes like chiral enantiomer analysis by circular dichroism,electrochemistry or chiral fluorescence sensing.From this review,we found that the inherent planar chiral conformation of chiral pillar[n]arenes have played a very important role in chiral field in the future.

文摘A hydrophobic carbon dots(Glc-OCDs)derived from octadecylamine and glucose were successfully synthesized for the first time and then grafted onto the porous silica surface by the“Nano-on-Micro”strategy,which was served as a new stationary phase(Sil-Glc-OCDs)for reversed-phase liquid chromatography.The structure of this stationary phase was carefully verified by laser scanning confocal microscope,Fourier transform infrared spectrometry,elemental analysis,contact angle measurement,etc.Several analytes including seven polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons,eight alkylbenzenes,eight phenols and seven sulfonamides can be well separated on this stationary phase.Better separation performance for certain analytes over commercial C_(18) column was obtained.Interestingly,this stationary phase exhibited excellent chromatographic selectivity in the separation of the isomers of tert‑butylbenzene,sec‑butylbenzene,isobutylbenzene and n-butylbenzene.In addition,this new Sil-Glc-OCDs column was also applied for detection of calycosin-7-glucoside,ononin,calycosin,formononetin,genistein and isorhamnetin in the extract of Radix Astragali,which were found that the concentration was 0.15 g/L,0.088 g/L,0.14 g/L,0.086 g/L,0.18 g/L and 0.29 g/L,respectively.We believe that this CDs-grafted silica materials are promising for chromatographic separation.

文摘In this work, a series of chiral phenethylamine synergistic tricarboxylic acid modified β-cyclodextrin bonded stationary phase for high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) were synthesized via a simple one-pot synthesis approach. Various racemates(aryl alcohols, flavanones, triazoles, benzoin, etc.) were well separated on the tricarboxylic acid modified chiral stationary phases in both normal and reversed modes with good reproducibility and stability, and the influence of mobile phase composition on resolution(R_(s)) were deeply investigated. The RSD values of Rsfor repeatability and column-to-column were below 1.28% and 3.05%, respectively. Hence, the fabrication of tricarboxylic acid modified chiral stationary phase(CSPs) is a new efficient strategy to improve the application of β-cyclodextrin as CSPs in the field of chromatography.

文摘In this work, we designed a facile and promising strategy for fluorescence determination of S1 endonuclease activity and inhibition based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer(FRET) between positively Ag nanorods(AgNRs) and negatively-charged ROX-labeled sing-stranded DNA(ROX-ssDNA). In the absence of Sl endonuclease, the fluorescence signal of the ROX-ssDNA was efficiently quenched when the ROX-ssDNA was adsorbed on the surface of AgNRs via strong electrostatic interaction. However, upon addition of different concentration of Sl endonuclease, the fluorescence was gradually restored owing to the reduction of FRET efficiency caused by S1 endonuclease specific cleavage ROX-ssDNA into short fragments, which reduced the electrostatic interaction between AgNRs and short oligonucleotide fragment. This assay strategy exhibited a high sensitivity and excellent specificity for S1 endonuclease with a detection limit of 0.004 U/mL and a dynamic concentration range from 0.01 U/mL to 5.0 U/mL. In addition, the capabilities for screening of S1 endonuclease inhibitors and S1 endonuclease detection from complex biological matrixes were also verified.

文摘As a promising signaling transduction approach, fluorescence polarization(FP)/fluorescence anisotropy(FA), provides a powerful quantitative tool for the rotational motion of fluorescently labeled molecules in chemical or biological homogeneous systems. Unlike fluorescence intensity, FP/FA is almost independent the concentration or quantum of fluorophores, but they are highly dependent on the size or molecular weight of the molecules or materials attached to fluorophores. Recently, significant progress in FP/FA was made, due to the introduction of some nanomaterials as FP/FA enhancers. The detection sensitivity is thus greatly improved by using nanomaterials as FP/FA enhancers, and nanomaterial-based FP/FA is currently used successfully in immunoassay, and analysis of protein, nucleic acid, small molecule and metal ion.Nanomaterial-based FP/FA provides a new kind of strategy to design fluorescent sensors and establishes innovative analytical methods. In this review, we summarize the scientific publications in the field of FP/FA sensor in recent five years, and first introduce the recent progress of FP/FA sensor based on nanomaterial. Subsequently, the various analytical applications of FP/FA based on nanomaterial are discussed. Finally, we provide perspectives on the current challenges and future prospects in this promising field.
