- Preparation and evaluation of a triazole-bridged bis(β-cyclodextrin)–bonded chiral stationary phase for HPLC
-
A triazole-bridged bis(β-cyclodextrin) was synthesized via a high-yield Click Chemistry reaction between 6-azido-β-cyclodextrin and 6-propynylamino-β-cyclodextrin, and then it was bonded onto ordered silica gel SBA-15 to obtain a novel triazole-bridged bis (β-cyclodextrin)–bonded chiral stationary phase (TBCDP). The structures of the bridged cyclodextrin and TBCDP were characterized by the infrared spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis. The chiral performance of TBCDP was evaluated by using chiral pesticides and drugs as probes including triazoles, flavanones, dansyl amino acids and β-blockers. Some effects of the composition in mobile phase and pH value on the enantioseparations were investigated in different modes. The nine triazoles, eight flavanones, and eight dansyl amino acids were successfully resolved on TBCDP under the reversed phase with the resolutions of hexaconazole, 2′-hydroxyflavanone, and dansyl-DL-tyrosine, which were 2.49, 5.40, and 3.25 within 30 minutes, respectively. The ten β-blockers were also separated under the polar organic mode with the resolution of arotinolol reached 1.71. Some related separation mechanisms were discussed preliminary. Compared with the native cyclodextrin stationary phase (CDSP), TBCDP has higher enantioselectivity to separate more analytes, which benefited from the synergistic inclusion ability of the two adjacent cavities and bridging linker of TBCDP, thereby enabling it a promising prospect in chiral drugs and food analysis.

- A new chiral ligand exchange capillary electrophoresis system based on Zn(ii)-l-leucine complexes coordinating with β-cyclodextrin and its application in screening tyrosinase inhibitors
-
Tyrosinase plays a key role in melanin formation, and it is closely related to hyper pigmentation in animals and enzymatic browning in food. Thus, it is of great significance to screen inhibitors of tyrosinase. In this work, a new chiral ligand exchange-capillary electrophoresis (CLE-CE) system based on the coordination effect of Zn(ii)-l-leucine complexes and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) was developed for screening the inhibitors of tyrosinase. The effects of the concentration of β-CD, buffer pH, the ratio of l-leucine to Zn(ii), and the complex concentration were investigated with Dns-d,l-tyrosine, Dns-d,l-valine and Dns-d,l-phenylalanine as the tested analytes. The optimum buffer conditions were composed of 100.0 mM boric acid, 5.0 mM ammonium acetate, 3.0 mM Zn(ii), 6.0 mM l-leucine and 4.0 mM β-CD at pH 8.2. It has been found that six pairs of Dns-d,l-AAs could be baseline-separated and five pairs of Dns-d,l-AAs were partly enantioseparated. Then the quantitative analysis of l-tyrosine was conducted and good linearity (r2 = 0.992) was obtained with a concentration ranging from 12.95 μM to 413.3 μM. A kinetics study of tyrosinase was realized, and the Km and Vmax were 636 μM and 312 μmol min-1 mg-1. Moreover, the proposed method was applied in screening the inhibitors of tyrosinase with four kinds of chalcones as the model inhibitors. The results demonstrated that the developed CLE-CE system was favorable for screening enzyme inhibitors, and showed great potential in related drugs discovery and clinical analysis in the future.

- Synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of fluorescent and photoactivatable analogues of antiplasmodial naphthylisoquinolines
-
The naphthylisoquinoline (NIQ) alkaloids from tropical Ancistrocladaceae and Dioncophyllaceae plants show high antiplasmodial activities in vitro and in vivo, even against chloroquine-resistant strains of the malaria pathogen. For the directed optimization of these activities, an investigation of the mode of action seems most rewarding. We have therefore embarked on the identification of the respective target protein in Plasmodium falciparum. For this purpose, we have developed a flexible pathway for the synthesis of a chemically divergent series of photoactive and fluorescent derivatives of such alkaloids and succeeded in preparing the first functionalized NIQ derivatives, 10, 12, and 35, suited for fluorescence and photoaffinity labeling experiments. Pharmacological investigations ensured that the modified alkaloid derivatives retained their antiplasmodial activity. The work may pave the way for a further improvement of the activity of these natural products and will thus increase their pharmacological potential as a valuable lead structure against the widespread tropical disease malaria.

- Determination of enantiomeric purity of commercial 14C- and 3H- labeled L-α-amino acids
-
The enantiomeric purity of twelve commercial 14C- and 3H-labeled L- α-amino acids was determined using reverse isotope dilution analysis. The technique utilized reversed-phase (RP) thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD) in the mobile phase to separate D- and L-amino acids as their 5-dimethylamino-1-naphthalene sulfonyl (dansyl, DNS) derivatives. In all cases, the L-amino acid was contaminated with the D- isomer. This is the first report of the resolution of N-DNS-DL-tyrosine and N-(α)-DNS-DL-lysine using this methodology.
