Aromatic phase, as one type of reversed-phase stationary phases, shows complementary selectivity to the n -alkyl counterparts especially for certain challenging separation tasks. However, effect of phenyl numbers in aromatic ligands on retention behaviors has rarely been addressed compared with the alkyl stationary phases. To illustrate the issue, a series of polyphenyl stationary phases were facially prepared via the coupling chemistry of isocyanate with amine, including aniline (π 1 ), 4-aminobiphenyl (π 2 ), 4-amino- p -terphenyl (π 3 ) and [1,1′:4′,1′':4′',1′''-quaterphenyl]-4-amine (π 4 ), respectively. The chromatographic behaviors of the new stationary phases as well as the traditional C18 were systematically compared in terms of retention mode, hydrophobic and aromatic selectivity, shape selectivity and π-π interaction by various analytes, including alkylbenzenes , polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons congeners and substituted benzenes with electron-withdrawing groups. Due to the homologous structure of four polyphenyl ligands, the hydrophobic selectivity, aromatic selectivity and shape selectivity of stationary phases increase with phenyl numbers in the bonded polyphenyl ligands, whereas the increment becomes insignificant from U-π 3 to U-π 4 . This phenomenon is explained by the insertion degree of analytes in the polyphenyl ligand brushes. Compared with the homemade C18, the polyphenyl phases indicate insignificant changes of shape selectivity with temperature. Notably, the new polyphenyl phases demonstrate the great selective separation towards the electron-deficient compounds through the π-π interaction. These findings make up for the understanding of the retention behavior of aromatic stationary phases.

Developing a versatile stationary phase to achieve the purpose of efficiently separating various target analytes is of great significance. In this work, ureido/dodecyl dual-functionalized silica (Sil-Ur-DD) was synthesized and employed as a new mixed-mode stationary phase for high-resolution chromatographic analysis. It was observed that multiple interactions, including hydrophobic, hydrophilic, hydrogen bonding, electrostatic and π-π interactions, contributed to the retention. Nucleosides and nucleobases could be effectively determined in hydrophilic interaction chromatography mode, and the separation performance of the Sil-Ur-DD was found to be even superior to that of the commercial XAmide column. Environmental endocrine disruptors, including alkylphenols, bisphenols, steroid hormones and phthalates, were more favorably separated in reversed-phase chromatography mode with highly aqueous mobile phases compared with the commercial C18-silica column. The experimental results indicated that the combined effect of ureido and long-chain alkyl groups obviously enhanced separation efficiency and selectivity. More significantly, the proposed method concerning the preparation of an efficient separation material with powerful separation ability is economical and environmentally friendly, which provides a proven and effective way for the recycling and utilization of the discarded chromatographic packing materials, thereby showing a good application prospect.

Two new hydrophilic-hydrophobic and acid-base balanced liquid chromatographic stationary phases were obtained by using two long-chain monomers including undecylenic acid (UA) and oleic acid (OA) combined with short-chain 4-vinyl pyridine (Py) in-situ polymerized on silica microspheres surfaces, respectively. These two stationary phases can be used for reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) and hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) modes. Hydrophilic, hydrophobic, acidic and basic analytes can be separated on two new stationary phases in RPLC or HILIC mode. Compared with commercial hydrophobic C18 columns and other HILIC columns, two new stationary phases have excellent selectivity and separation performance in the separation of 9 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, 10 aromatic acids, 10 anilines and 5 oxazolidinones, respectively. This novel polymer-functionalized silica design strategy has opened up new ideas for the future of mixed-mode stationary phases with multiple functions and specificity.

Zwitterionic sulfobetaine-based monolithic stationary phases have attracted increasing attention for their use in hydrophilic interaction chromatography. In this study, a novel hydrophilic polymeric monolith was fabricated through photo-initiated copolymerization of 3-(3-vinyl-1-imidazolio)-1-propanesulfonate (SBVI) with pentaerythritol triacrylate using methanol and tetrahydrofuran as the porogenic system. Notably, the duration for the preparation of this novel monolith was as little as 5 min, which was significantly shorter than that required for previously reported sulfobetaine-based monoliths prepared via conventional thermally initiated copolymerization. Moreover, these monoliths showed good morphology, permeability, porosity (62.4%), mechanical strength (over 15 MPa), column efficiency (51,230 plates/m), and reproducibility (relative standard deviations for all analytes were lower than 4.6%). Mechanistic studies indicated that strong hydrophilic and negative electrostatic interactions might be responsible for the retention of polar analytes on the zwitterionic SBVI-based monolith. In particular, the resulting monolith exhibited good anti-protein adhesion ability and low nonspecific protein adsorption. These excellent features seem to favor its application in bioanalysis. Therefore, the novel zwitterionic sulfobetaine-based monolith was successfully employed for the highly selective separation of small bioactive compounds and the efficient enrichment of N -glycopeptides from complex samples. In this study, we prepared a novel zwitterionic sulfobetaine-based monolith with good performance and developed a simpler and faster method for preparation of zwitterionic monoliths.

This study constructed boronic acid grafted Zr-MOF (BA-Zr-MOF) by a simple pre-installation strategy through mixed organic ligands. Typically, BA-Zr-MOF was prepared by one-step hydrothermal method used for enrichment of cis -diol-containing nucleosides through pipette tip solid-phase extraction (PT-SPE) followed by detection of high-performance liquid chromatography. It is worth mentioning that BA is well assembled into MOF and cis -diol-containing compounds can be efficiently and selectively enriched by abundant boronic acid groups. Three groups of different types of compounds were used to evaluate their selectivity and the results showed the excellent selectivity to cis -diol-containing compounds of as-prepared adsorbent. The BA-Zr-MOF adsorbent possesses a high adsorption capacity, which can reach 86.40 mg g −1 for adenosine. Under the optimal extraction condition, a PT-SPE-HPLC method based on BA-Zr-MOF for analysis of nucleosides was established. The linear range of the four nucleosides is 0.01 to 50 µg mL −1 with R 2 ≥ 0.99 and the detection limits (LODs) are estimated at between 0.005-0.012 µg mL −1 . The recoveries in urine were used to test the reliability of the analytical methods, which ranged from 82.8% to 117.1%, with intra-day relative standard deviations (RSDs) ranged from 0.1% to 4.2% and the inter-day RSDs ranged from 0.2% to 6.2%. All the results show that the pre-installation strategy based on dual ligands is an alternative to fabricate MOF composite material and BA-Zr-MOF is a promising material for the analysis of cis -diol-containing biomolecules.

Up to now, the chromatographic separation and analysis of highly polar compounds are still challenging because of low retention ability and selectivity of conventional stationary phases (SPs). Developing new SPs to achieve high-resolution and high-efficiency separation of polar compounds is of great importance for health and medicine, food safety, environmental protection, etc. . Herein, an influential multi-step modification strategy (modification with 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane on the silica twice and end-capped with trimethylchlorosilane once) is introduced to prepare C8F13-SiO 2 SP. The physical properties of C8F13-SiO 2 SP, including morphologies, pore structures and carbon content were fully characterized by various instrumental techniques. The packed HPLC column with C8F13-SiO 2 SP exhibited high column efficiency, good peak shape (tailing factors for most analytes are between 0.9 and 1.3), and resolution for simultaneous separation of ginsenosides, sulfonamides, nucleosides , and benzoylurea insecticides (BUs); meanwhile, the retention mechanism of typical reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) mode was observed. A column efficiency of 30,220 plates/m for separation of ginsenoside Re was obtained. Furthermore, the resulting columns benefit from the advantages of supreme reproducibility, repeatability and stability. Importantly, the chromatographic properties (e.g. column efficiencies, chromatographic peak shapes, retention ability and resolution) of the C8F13-SiO 2 SP for the polar analytes were superior to those of the commercial SPs (including commercial amino-modified silica SP, diol-modified silica SP and commercial PFP-SiO 2 SP). Thus, the C8F13-SiO 2 SP is able to satisfy the strict requirements of highly polar compounds separation.

Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) are among the most significant hepatotoxins widely distributed in plant species. Incidence of liver injuries caused by PAs has been reported worldwide, and the reactive metabolites of PAs are known to play a critical role in causing the hepatotoxicity. To better understand the toxicity-induction mechanisms, we explored the interactions of PA metabolites with cellular RNA molecules, and examined their effects on the biochemical and metabolic properties of hepatic RNAs. After exposure to retrorsine, adduction on adenosine and guanosine were detected in mouse liver microsomal incubations, cultured mouse primary hepatocytes, and mouse liver tissues. NMR analysis showed that the exocyclic amino group participated in the adduction. We found drastically altered properties and metabolism of the adducted RNA such as reverse-transcriptability, translatability, and RNase-susceptibility. In addition, endogenous modification of N 6 -methyladenosine (m6A) was remarkably reduced.

Thrombosis is the main cause of many cardiovascular diseases. The conventional pharmaceuticals used for preventing thrombosis can induce significant adverse side effects, especially bleeding risk. Hence, the development of more effective and safe antithrombotic agents is strongly demanded to improve clinical treatment. In order to rapidly screen and identify novel antithrombotic substances from natural marine products, a multi-target screening strategy is reported to quantify the antithrombotic activity with high-performance liquid chromatography – mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS). Five key thrombosis-related targets, including thrombin, coagulation factors Xa, XIa and XIIa and platelet phosphodiesterase 3, were selected to establish the multi-target antithrombotic activity screening assay. The Michaelis-Menten constants (Km) were 8.16 µM, 58.85 µM, 120.03 µM, 35.24 µM and 79.67 µM, respectively. Five known inhibitors, namely argatroban, rivaroxaban, benzamidine, 3-carboxamide-coumarinand, and milrinone, were used for validation. The reproducibility of the screening strategy was verified by calculating the overall average Z′ value, which was 0.88. Subsequently, this method was assessed by screening a small marine library of 78 compounds. Five coumarin compounds were selected, and their antithrombotic activities were further validated in standard assessments of enzyme inhibition and on the coagulometer. According to the validation, the multi-target assay based on dried blood spots and HPLC-MS was suitable for screening antithrombotic substances with considerable reliability.

Dendritic organic molecular gels are a promising class of three-dimensional network compounds. Here, we have synthesized a new type of dendritic organic molecular gel stationary phase (SiO 2 -G3) by using benzyl alcohol as raw material and dimethyl 5-hydroxyisophthalate as growth unit to synthesize a third-generation organic molecular gel G3, which grafted onto the silica surface by cyanogen chloride (CC). The developed stationary phase not only exhibits high molecular shape selectivity but also has a RPLC/HILIC/IEC mixed-mode characteristic for HPLC due to the ordered structure, the multiple strong π-π stacking interactions and the introduction of a hydrophilic triazine fraction during the grafting process. Compared with a commercial C 18 column, the developed column exhibited flexible selectivity, enhanced separation performance and excellent separation of monosubstituted benzene, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), positional isomers, nucleosides and nucleobases, benzoic acid and aniline compounds. In addition, the new column provided baseline separation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon contaminants in Yellow River water, verifying its potential for application in the analysis of real samples.

The flexible and controlled synthesis of metal–organic framework (MOF)-derived hybrid nanostructures is of great significance in fine tuning of their enrichment performance in large-scale and in-depth phosphoproteome analysis. Herein, a magnetic guanidyl-functionalized MOF hybrid coating with multiaffinity sites, denoted as Fe3O4@G-ZIF-8, was fast fabricated via a one-pot epitaxial growth strategy for the first time and applied for selective and highly efficient enrichment of global phosphopeptides. The intrinsic unsaturated metal sites of ZIF-8 endow the surface-mounted MOF coatings with immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography interaction with multiphosphorylated peptides. The oriented anchoring of bifunctional guanidineacetic acid on the magnetic MOF nanospheres provides additional affinity sites (guanidyl groups) for specific recognition of phosphopeptides by “salt bridge” interaction, as well as active site carboxyl groups for the coordination with the metal ions. The as-prepared Fe3O4@G-ZIF-8 exhibits large surface area (382.5 m2 g–1), good superparamagnetic property (41.6 emu g–1) and stability, and size-exclusion effect (1.73 nm), which can serve as a specific adsorbent for global phosphopeptide analysis with satisfactory selectivity, great detection sensitivity (1 fmol), and rapid magnetic separation. Moreover, the successful application of Fe3O4@G-ZIF-8 for selective capture of both multi- and mono-phosphopeptides from human saliva and serum demonstrated the great potential of magnetic surface-mounted MOF coatings in effective identification of low-abundance phosphopeptides by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry from complicated biological matrices.

Cadmium is a carcinogenic heavy metal that poses a severe threat to human beings. The underlying mechanism, however, remains elusive. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant post-transcriptional modification in mRNA that regulates RNA metabolism. Emerging evidence shows that m6A is involved in the pathogenesis of various cancers. In this study, human bronchial epithelial BEAS-2B cells were transformed by exposing to 2 μM of cadmium for 20 weeks to investigate the role of m6A in cadmium carcinogenesis. We found the level of m6A in mRNA was significantly decreased in cadmium-transformed BEAS-2B cells, and this change was regulated by m6A demethylase ALKBH5. ALKBH5 was significantly upregulated in the middle and late stages of cell transformation at week 8, 12, 16 and 20. Knockdown of ALKBH5 in cadmium-transformed cells alleviated cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and anchorage-independent growth, but co-transfection with ALKBH5 siRNA and PTEN siRNA restored the inhibitory effects of ALKBH5 knockdown on those transformation properties. ALKBH5 decreased the m6A level of PTEN mRNA, resulting in its instability and reduction of PTEN protein expression. These results indicate that ALKBH5-mediated demethylation m6A at PTEN mRNA is involved in cadmium-induced cell transformation. Our study provides a new perspective for the involvement of m6A modification in cadmium carcinogenesis.

Inspired by porous smart gel materials, we designed pH-responsive polymer-modified silica microspheres as liquid chromatography stationary phase materials by a one-step strategy. The free radicals generated by the oxidation of dopamine are used to initiate the cross-linking polymerization of functional monomers. At the same time, the good adhesion of dopamine enables the polymer to be modified on silica. The hydrophilicity of this new stationary phase can change in response to the pH of the mobile phase and the stationary phase has weaker hydrophilicity under acidic (pH = 3.78) mobile phase conditions and stronger hydrophilicity under neutral mobile phase conditions. The hydrophilicity difference of the stationary phase leads to the selectivity difference in separation. To evaluate the chromatographic performance of this new stationary phase, 10 oligosaccharides and 9 nucleosides/bases were separated on this stationary phase. This paper will provide good guidance for us to achieve more pH-responsive hydrophilic/hydrophobic stationary phases in the future.
