Muz, Melis published the artcileNontargeted detection and identification of (aromatic) amines in environmental samples based on diagnostic derivatization and LC-high resolution mass spectrometry, Recommanded Product: Diatrizoic Acid, the main research area is aromatic amine diagnostic derivatization high resolution mass spectrum; Aromatic amines; Diagnostic derivatization; High resolution mass spectrometry.

The presence of aromatic amines in the environment has been in the focus of research, as many of these compounds are known or suspected mutagens and carcinogens. To facilitate the detection of aromatic amines in complex environmental samples by LC-high resolution mass spectrometry, an online-post-column and a pre-column derivatization method to label (in an ideal case) all aromatic amines was evaluated by applying different derivatization reagents. 4-Fluoro-7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD-F) was found to be the most promising labeling reagent due to its high reactivity with both primary and secondary amines and its low signal in pos. mode electrospray ionization (ESI+). Post-column online derivatization did not result in sufficient signal intensities of derivatives With pre-column derivatization most of the selected aromatic amines resulted in a derivative that shows common fragments of diagnostic value. The selectivity of NBD-F was studied in depth with a data set of 220 compounds with different functional groups showing that also aliphatic amines and some thiols yield a derivative The developed method was successfully applied to wastewater effluent samples and several derivatives were confirmed by diagnostic neutral losses.

Ismail, Norafiqah published the artcileNon-ionic deep eutectic solvents for membrane formation, Computed Properties of 598-50-5, the main research area is nonionic deep eutectic solvent polyvinylidene fluoride membrane water permeability.

Deep eutectic solvents (DES) have recently emerged as a new class of inexpensive biodegradable solvents and additives with diverse applications. In this study, a new family of non-ionic deep eutectic solvents (NIDES) is proposed for the first time for membrane preparation Three types of NIDES, N-methylacetamide-acetamide (DES-1), N-Me acetamide-N-Me urea (DES-2), and N-Me acetamide-N,N’-dimethyl urea (DES-3) were synthesized and used to dissolve polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) polymer. The effects of the additive polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and the type of NIDES on the PVDF membrane characteristics, water permeability and bovine serum albumin (BSA) separation were studied. The membranes prepared with DES-1 and 2 wt% PVP exhibited a good water permeate flux (96.82 L/m2.h) and a high BSA separation factor (96.32%). High performance PVDF membranes can thus be efficiently prepared using biodegradable inexpensive NIDES.

Matos, Maria Joao published the artcileStructure-Based Optimization of Coumarin hA3 Adenosine Receptor Antagonists, Name: 4-Methoxyphenylacetic acid, the main research area is structure coumarin hA3 adenosine receptor antagonist; crystal structure.

Adenosine receptors are involved in several physiol. processes. Mols. able to selectively modulate one of these receptors represent promising multifunctional agents to treat or slow down the progression of different diseases. 3-Arylcoumarins have already been studied as neuroprotective agents by the group. Here, differently 8-substituted 3-arylcoumarins are complementarily studied as ligands of adenosine receptors, performing radioligand binding assays. Among the synthesized compounds, selective A3 receptor antagonists have been identified. 3-(4-Bromophenyl)-8-hydroxycoumarin (I) proved to be the most potent and selective A3 receptor antagonist (Ki = 258 nM). An anal. of its x-ray diffraction provided detailed information on its structure. Further evaluation of a selected series of compounds indicated that it is the nature and position of the substituents that determine their activity and selectivity. Theor. modeling calculations corroborate and explain the exptl. data, suggesting this novel scaffold has desirable properties for the development of potential multitarget drug candidates.

Wolff, David published the artcileInsights into the variability of microbial community composition and micropollutant degradation in diverse biological wastewater treatment systems, Name: Diatrizoic Acid, the main research area is wastewater treatment plant activated sludge microbial community micropollutant degradation; 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing; Activated sludge; Microbial community; Micropollutants; Sequencing batch reactor (SBR); Wastewater.

The biol. potential of conventional wastewater treatment plants to remove micropollutants mainly depends on process conditions and the predominant microbial community. To explore this dependence and to connect the occurrence of genera with operating conditions, five pilot-scale reactors with different process conditions were combined into two reactor cascades and fed with the effluent of the primary clarifier of a municipal WWTP. All reactors and the WWTP were analyzed for the removal of 33 micropollutants by LC-MS/MS and the presence of the microbial community using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The overall removal of the micropollutants was slightly improved (ca. 20%) by the reactor cascades in comparison to the WWTP while certain compounds such as diatrizoate, venlafaxine or diclofenac showed an enhanced removal (ca. 70% in one or both cascades). To explore the diverse bacteria in more detail, the general community was divided into a core and a specialized community. Despite their profoundly different operating parameters (especially redox conditions), the different treatments share a core community consisted of 143 genera (9% of the overall community). Furthermore, the alpha- and beta-biodiversity as well as the occurrence of several genera belonging to the specialized microbial community could be linked to the prevalent process conditions of the individual treatments. Members of the specialized community also correlated with the removal of certain groups of micropollutants. Hence, the comparison of the specialized community with micropollutant removal and operating conditions via correlation anal. is a valuable tool for an extended evaluation of prevalent process conditions. Based on an extended data set this approach could also be used to identify organisms as indicators for operating conditions which are beneficial for an improved removal of specific micropollutants.

Cormick, Justin published the artcileA survey of novel MDA and MDMA precursors by isotope ratio mass spectrometry, Recommanded Product: 2-Methyl-3-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)propionaldehyde, the main research area is methylenedioxyamphetamine methylenedioxymethylamphetamine isotope mass spectrometry.

Presented is a survey of the hydrogen, carbon and oxygen isotope profiles of traditional and novel precursors and pre-precursors used for the synthesis of 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA) and 3,4-methylenedioxymethylamphetamine (MDMA). The purpose of this survey was to determine what variations exist in the stable isotope profiles of compounds from which these drugs can be produced. The control of the traditional precursors safrole, isosafrole, piperonal and 3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl-2-propanone (MDP2P) has seen clandestine laboratories utilizing some novel alternative chems. Helional has emerged primarily as a precursor to MDA and although recently legislated in Queensland, Australia, remains largely uncontrolled in most jurisdictions. Results for the uncontrolled pre-precursors catechol, vanillin and vanillic acid are also presented in this survey. In total 45 precursor samples were collected, with a focus on helional that is readily available online through fragrance supply companies. The identity and purity of all samples was confirmed using a range of techniques. Stable isotope profiles were obtained by isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) anal. These results showed a greater variation in stable isotope profiles than previously reported in MDA/MDMA precursors. These results suggest that stable isotope profiling may be used to compare and differentiate precursors used in the production of MDA/MDMA. IRMS may also allow for the grouping or discrimination of MDA and MDMA, especially when synthesized from these novel precursors or pre-precursors.
