Background Tracking changes in plasma concentrations of monosaccharides and sugar alcohols related to glycometabolism, which plays a role as the main source of energy, is of great significance for the treatment of metabolic diseases. However, analysis of monosaccharides and sugar alcohols has always been a difficult task due to the high polarity of the polyhydroxy structure and the presence of a large number of isomers. So far, no suitable method has been developed for simultaneous determination of monosaccharides and sugar alcohols in beagle plasma. Results This work performed an innovative gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method for the simultaneous chromatographic separation and absolute quantification of 11 monosaccharides and sugar alcohols associated with glycometabolism. After derivatization, monosaccharides converted to be oxime acetylated derivatives and sugar alcohols transformed into acetylated derivatives. All analytes achieved good separation after chromatographic conditions were optimized, especially the selection of mid-polarity capillary column(6% cyanopropyl phenyl and 94% dimethyl polysiloxane). The improvement of derivatization efficiency through single factor and response surface optimization ensured a high sensitivity, with LOQ of each analyte in the range of 0.2-50 ng/mL. The established method was fully validated in terms of linearity and range, sensitivity, accuracy and precision, recovery, matrix effect, stability, dilution integrity and proved to be reliable, which was applied to the comparative study on hypoglycemic effect of two antidiabetic agents with different pharmacological mechanisms, dorzagliatin and metformin, as well as possible metabolic pathways affected by them. Significance This method solves the problems of multiple peaks after derivatization and frequent co-elution of analytes in previous analytical methods, significantly enhances derivatization efficiency of ketoses, which provides a promising approach for simultaneous analysis of aldose, ketose, and sugar alcohol. It offers new insights into a more comprehensive research on glycometabolism rather than merely focusing on glucose.

Ribose-5-phosphate isomerase A (RpiA) is of great importance in biochemistry research, however its application in biotechnology has not been fully explored. In this study the activity of RpiA from Ochrobactrum sp. CSL1 (OsRpiA) towards D-allose was engineered based on sequential and structural analyses. Strategies of alanine scanning, rational design and saturated mutagenesis were employed to create three mutant libraries. A single mutant of K124A showed a 45 % activity improvement towards D-allose. The reaction properties of the mutant were analyzed, and a shift of optimal pH and higher thermal stability at low reaction temperatures were identified. The conversion of D-allose was also improved by 40 % using K124A, and higher activities on major substrates were found in the mutant’s substrate scope, implying its application potential in rare sugar preparation. Kinetics analysis revealed that K m of K124A mutant decreased by 12 % and the catalytic efficiency increased by 65 % towards D-allose. Moreover, molecular dynamics simulation illustrated the binding of substrate and K124A was more stable than that of the wild-type. The shorter distance and more relax bond angle between the catalytic residue of K124A and D-allose explained the activity improvement in detail. This study highlights the potential of OsRpiA as a biocatalyst for rare sugar preparation, and provides distinct evidences for its catalytic mechanism.

To systematically study the chemical constituents in Magnolia officinalis var. biloba fruits, nine phenylethanoid glycosides were isolated by solvent extraction, silica gel, and preparative high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Their structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR analyses, including COSY, HMQC and HMBC correlations, and HPLC analysis of sugar residue. Nine phenylethanoid glycosides, namely, magnoloside I a ( 1 ), magnoloside I c ( 2 ), crassifolioside ( 3 ), magnoloside I b ( 4 ), magnoloside III a ( 5 ), magnoloside IV a ( 6 ), magnoloside II a ( 7 ), magnoloside II b ( 8 ) and magnoloside V a ( 9 ), were first isolated from the n -butanol fraction of Magnolia officinalis var. biloba fruits alcohol extract. Free radical scavenging activities of the nine phenylethanoid glycosides were assessed using the DPPH, ABTS, and superoxide anion radical scavenging assays. Simultaneously, protective effects of all compounds against free radical-induced oxidative damage were evaluated by two different kinds of mitochondrial damage model. The protective effects were assessed by mitochondrial swelling, the formations of malondialdehyde (MDA) and lipid hydroperoxide (LOOH), the activities of catalase (CAT), glutathione reductase (GR) and superoxide dismutase (SOD). All phenylethanoid glycosides showed significant protective effects.

A novel viscoelastic surfactant (VES) fracturing-flooding system composed of amphoteric surfactant octadecyl hydroxypropyl sultaine (OCHSB), cationic surfactant octadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (OTAC) and p -toluene sodium sulfonate (NaPts) is proposed to greatly enhance oil recovery. The synergistic effects of two surfactants and counterions were explored and the optimal dosage was determined. Rheological tests show that the system has excellent viscoelastic properties and shear resistance. The shear viscosity of the system with the addition of 4.8 wt% is higher than 25 mPa·s at 80 °C and 170 s −1 . Meanwhile, the drag reduction rate of the system can reach more than 70%. In addition, the system breaks the gel thoroughly, has excellent anti-swelling properties, and the damage to the formation is less than 5%. Finally, the enhanced oil recovery regulations of the system were studied through flooding experiment, and its mechanism was analyzed. The enhanced recovery proves that the system has the dual effects of fracturing and flooding.

Catalytic conversion of concentrated carbohydrates and raw biomass into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), an important and value-added platform chemical, is highly desirable for industrial applications but challenging. In this work, the tin pyrophosphate-oxide (SnP2O7–SnO2) catalyst has been designed to efficiently produce HMF from various concentrated carbohydrates and raw biomass. Especially, a high HMF yield of 67.8% was implemented over the SPC4 catalyst from concentrated glucose (36 wt %) in a biphasic solvent system of water and methyl isobutyl ketone. Moreover, the SPC4 catalyst disclosed a wide range of universality for converting various concentrated carbohydrates and raw biomass to HMF with satisfactory yields (45.9–79.5%). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of accomplishing appreciable HMF yields from carbohydrates and raw biomass at such a high substrate concentration. It has been demonstrated that the superior catalytic performance of the catalyst should originate from its balanced Lewis and Brønsted acidity and superhydrophilicity property. This work invents a highly promising heterogeneous catalyst for efficiently valorizing renewable lignocellulose-related compounds into versatile furans.

Currently, bare silica nanoparticles with low surface activity and weak stabilizing foam ability have restricted applicability in treating surface radioactive pollutants. To address potential issues with SiO 2 as a foam stabilizer , a highly efficient foam stabilizer was fabricated by compounding silica with hydroxylated graphene oxide (GO-OH), which was prepared by hydrothermal modification of graphene oxide (GO). Then, an environmentally friendly foam detergent with high stability and high decontamination efficiency was developed using the natural surfactant tea saponin (TAS) as a foaming agent and a composite of silica and GO-OH (GO-OH/SiO 2 ) as a foam stabilizer, which is named tea saponin foam detergent. For different types of surfactants, the structural and morphological characteristics of GO-OH, such as hydrophilic and surface oxygen groups, as well as the synergistic influence of GO-OH with SiO 2 on foamability, foam stability, and detergency of the foam detergent, were studied. As a consequence, the TAS foam detergent has good stability with a drain half-life of 68 min. By hydrothermal modification of GO, the contact angle of water on GO-OH in air dropped to 63.2°, which was lower than that (73.0°) on GO. Furthermore, the hydrophilicity of GO-OH increased, and more oxygen-containing groups on GO-OH enhanced its absorption and enrichment of the radionuclide uranium and improved the decontamination rate of the TAS foam detergent. Moreover, when GO-OH was combined with SiO 2 , the dispersion and stability of SiO 2 in the foam detergent improved, and the foam stability of the detergent subsequently further improved. Adding 2 wt% SiO 2 and 0.1 wt% GO-OH to the detergent enhanced the foam drainage half-life of the detergent from 40 min to 68 min and improved the stability of the detergent by 70%. In addition, the synergistic action of GO-OH/SiO 2 with TAS surfactant increased the liquid film thickness of the foam and the airflow resistance to support the weight-bearing capacity of the foam skeleton. As a result, it slowed the rate of foam disproportionation , reduced the bubble size, increased the bubble number, and finally improved the foam stability of the detergent. For simulated radioactive uranium pollutants on the surfaces of glass, stainless steel , and tiles, the foam detergent with the synergistic action of GO-OH/SiO 2 and TAS surfactant had decontamination rates of 91.7%, 91.16% and 91.76%, respectively, which were 14.96%, 15.67% and 19.39% higher than that of TAS foam detergent without GO-OH/SiO 2 . The synergistic enhancement of GO-OH and SiO 2 on foam stability and its adsorption and combination action with uranyl ions would be the main reasons to improve the detergency of the TAS foam detergent. Therefore, TAS foam detergent stabilized synergistically by GO-OH/SiO 2 with high stability and efficient decontamination will be widely applied in nuclear emergencies and decommissioning decontamination of nuclear facilities.
