Pure titanium dioxide (TiO2) adsorbent failed to selectively capture ribonucleosides in biological samples, as reported in previous studies, although it was expected to display a specific recognition of cis-diol compounds by the Lewis acid sites on its surface. However, in this work, our results showed for the first time that hydrous titania (TiO2·nH2O), obtained through hydrolysis of tetrabutyl titanate (TBOT) in aqueous solution, exhibited a high affinity for cis-diol-containing ribonucleosides. The adsorption efficiency of A, C and G by TiO2·nH2O can reach about 90% even in a 100% water matrix. On the other hand, the 2′-deoxynucleosides could only be adsorbed in a water–acetonitrile solution with a water content of less than 10%. Subsequently, an in situ-generated TiO2·nH2O-based dispersive micro solid-phase extraction (d-μ-SPE) process was developed and evaluated. The whole d-μ-SPE process takes only about 7 minutes (2 min for extraction and 5 min for centrifugation) and no pre-synthesized or commercial TiO2 powder is required. The hydrous TiO2-based d-μ-SPE with a two-step elution strategy was successfully performed for the extraction and separation of ribonucleosides (A, U) and 2′-deoxynucleosides (2′-dC, 2′-dG) in porcine plasma samples. The proposed TiO2·nH2O-based d-μ-SPE method is effective, simple and rapid, and will have wide application for the selective extraction of cis-diol molecules in environmental and biological samples.

In this study, a new boronate affinity porous carbon absorbent derived from a home-made zinc-based metal–organic framework (Zn-MOF) was successfully fabricated. This absorbent was prepared by calcination of the Zn-MOF material and further modified with boronic acid groups. The resulting material was used to selectively enrich cis-diol-containing nucleosides in complex samples, and it exhibited superior binding capacity (26.0 mg g−1 for adenosine). The material coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography was successfully applied to analyze four cis-diol nucleosides (cytidine, uridine, guanosine, and adenosine) in injection and cell samples. Under optimized conditions, the method exhibited excellent extraction performance. The limits of detection of the method were 4.73–14.6 μg L−1 for the four nucleosides based on the signal-to-noise ratio of 3 : 1. Spiked recoveries were found between 88.2 and 108.2% (the relative standard deviation was in range of 1.3–11.3%, n = 3). This study improved the selectivity of porous carbon derived from MOF material and presented a promising thought for effective capturing of analytes on MOF materials.

An aptamer based assay is described for the colorimetric detection of adenosine. The presence of adenosine triggers the deformation of hairpin DNA oligonucleotide (HP1) containing adenosine aptamer and then hybridizes another unlabeled hairpin DNA oligonucleotide (HP2). This leads to the formation of a double strand with a blunt 3′ terminal. After exonuclease III (Exo III)-assisted degradation, the guanine-rich strand (GRS) is released from HP2. Hence, the adenosine-HP1 complex is released to the solution where it can hybridize another HP2 and initiate many cycles of the digestion reaction with the assistance of Exo III. This leads to the generation of a large number of GRS strands after multiple cycles. The GRS stabilize the red AuNPs against aggregation in the presence of potassium ions. If, however, GRS forms a G-quadruplex, it loses its ability to protect gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) from salt-induced AuNP aggregation. Therefore, the color of the solution changes from red to blue which can be visually observed. This colorimetric assay has a 0.13 nM detection limit and a wide linear range that extends from 5 nM to 1 μM.

A hybrid material was prepared from graphene oxide and melamine sponge, and modified with phenylboronic acid to obtain a sorbent for the enrichment of the nucleosides cytidine, uridine, inosine, guanosine and adenosine. The loading capacity typically is around 27.8 mg g −1 which is comparable to other sorbents, and highly selectivity for cis-diols is observed even if the concentration of potential interferents is 1500-fold higher. The sorbent was placed in an injector, and the process was operated semiautomatically by using a peristaltic pump. The sorbent is stable and can be re-used six times without decrease in efficiency. It was applied to the selective extraction of the cis -diols (cytidine, uridine, inosine, guanosine, adenosine) from HepG2 cells. It presents good linear between 3 to 5000 μg L −1 and the limits of detection (in HPLC analysis with UV detection) are 1–4 μg L −1 . Good recoveries of 85–101% were obtained with spiked HepG2 cells samples, with relative standard deviation of ≤9.9%.

In this work, based on purifying the analysis system by magnetic separation, we constructed a turn-on fluorescent assay for highly sensitive detection of possible biomarkers, employing adenosine as the model target analyte. Aptamer labeled-carbon dots (Apt-CDs) was applied as fluorescence probes as well as selective recognition elements, while Fe 3 O 4 @polypyrrole (Fe 3 O 4 @PPY) was used as fluorescence quenching and magnetic separating materials for system purification. In absence of adenosine, the Apt-CDs were attached to the surface of PPY through π-π stacking and hydrophobic interaction and its fluorescence was quenched by Fe 3 O 4 @PPY. In presence of adenosine, the aptamer could specifically bind with adenosine to form a three dimensional Apt-CDs-adenosine complex and detach from PPY, leading to the fluorescence recovery of Apt-CDs. More importantly, with analysis system purification via twice convenient magnetic separations of free CDs and Apt-CDs-adenosine complex respectively, the detection limit could be reduced from 8 nmol L −1 to 0.15 nmol L −1 . This concept offers potential application for simple, rapid, cost-effective, and highly sensitive assay of biological samples.

A novel sensitive fluorescence method was developed for adenosine detection by using adenosine aptamer, Exo I and a 2-aminopurine-modified DNA (2-AP probe). 2-AP probe was completely complementary to adenosine aptamer. This strategy took advantage of the high binding affinity of adenosine aptamer and the susceptibility of 2-aminopurine (2-AP) to the local base stacking environment. In the absence of the adenosine, the formation of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) through the hybridization of the aptamer with the 2-AP probe prevented the digestion of 2-AP probe by Exo I. The fluorescence of 2-AP was significantly quenched due to the base-stacking interaction. In the presence of adenosine, the binding of adenosine with the aptamer prevented the hybridization between aptamer and 2-AP probe, leading to the digestion of 2-AP probe by Exo I and the release of 2-AP. The fluorescence was recovered. A limit of detection of 0.30 μM and a linear range from 10 μM to 600 μM ( R 2 = 0.9933) were achieved by this assay. Moreover, adenosine analogs did not produce any significant change in the fluorescence intensity response, indicating good selectivity of this sensor for adenosine detection. Finally, it was used for the diluted serum sample.

cis -Diol compounds are of great biological and clinical values, but their detection is usually instrument-inseparable. Herein, a flexible sensing strategy was proposed at the first time for multi-mode visualization of cis -diol compounds based on boronate affinity (BA)-mediated colorimetry and fluorometry. Boronic acid-decorated sensors with color-/fluorescence-derived binary responsivity were designed using cis -diol fluorescent dyes or dyes-fluorophore counterparts as response units, inducing competitive BA when cis -diol analytes were existed. Consequently, colors and fluorescence of sensors changed simultaneously, and both signals were linearly varied versus the dosages of cis -diol analytes in certain ranges. As proofs of concept, dual-mode visual sensing of glucose in normal/hyperglycemic human serum and sucrose in canned white fungus and edible mushroom plant beverage was achieved with sensing time as short as 1 min and limit of detection as low as 0.18 mg/mL. Furtherly, color information of colorimetric/fluorometric cards and tested sensors was picked by a smartphone APP for digital image analysis, by which the validity of dual-mode visual sensing assays was reinforced by avoiding possible errors from subjective judgement on colors and fluorescence. Besides, the credibility of visual sensing was cross-validated by fluorescent quantification and classical tools such as portable blood glucose meter and phenol-sulfuric acid method-based halochromic reaction.

A novel imidazole-functionalized stationary phase for hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) was prepared via surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP). 1-Vinylimidazole as a monomer was polymerized on the surface of initiator-immobilized silica by SI-ATRP using CuCl and 2,2′-bipyridyl as a catalyst. The graft chain length and polymer grafting density were controlled by varying the ratio of monomer to initiator. The resulting materials were characterized by elemental analysis and thermogravimetric analysis. Then, high-performance liquid chromatography separation of eight nucleobases/nucleosides was performed on the imidazole-functionalized chromatographic column in HILIC mode. The effects of mobile phase composition, buffer pH, and column temperature on the separation of nucleobases/nucleosides were investigated, and the retention mechanisms were studied. Chromatographic parameters were calculated, and the results showed that surface adsorption through hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interaction dominated the retention behavior of the solutes in HILIC mode. Lastly, the stationary phase was successfully used to determine the nucleobases and nucleosides from Cordyceps militaris .

In this paper, a novel turn-on fluorescence aptasensor has been designed for adenosine detection based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) from single-stranded DNA labeled carbon dots (ssDNA-CDs) to aptamer modified gold nanoparticles (aptamer-AuNPs). In the absence of adenosine, the fluorescence of ssDNA-CDs was quenched by aptamer-AuNPs via the formation of an aptamer–ssDNA duplex. The introduced adenosine competed to displace ssDNA-CDs by specifically binding to the aptamer, resulting in the recovery of the quenched fluorescence of ssDNA-CDs. Under optimized conditions, the increase in fluorescence intensity was proportional to the concentration of adenosine with a linear range of 10–500 nM and allowed a limit of detection as low as 4.2 nM. In addition, this method was successfully applied to adenosine determination in human serum samples with satisfactory results.

Boronate-affinity hollow molecularly imprinted polymers (h-MIPs) were prepared and applied to the selective enrichment of four nucleosides in traditional Chinese medicine injection samples, followed by HPLC detection. The synthesis mechanism of the h-MIPs was studied. Due to a large amount of boronic acid groups were introduced by 3-aminophenylboronic acid (APBA) in the outermost polymer shell of the MIPs, which was of great importance for improving the enrichment efficiency of the nucleosides. Furthermore, owing to the hollow structure of the h-MIPs, more binding cavities were located on the inner and outer surfaces of the h-MIPs, which could facilitate the removal of template molecules from the polymers and the rebinding of the target molecules to the polymers. Under optimal conditions, the detection limits of the four nucleosides were in the range of 0.012–0.033 μg mL−1. At the different spiked levels, the recoveries of the nucleosides were in the range of 63.8–108.9%. The proposed method was successfully applied to determine four nucleosides in five injection samples. The boronate-affinity h-MIPs provided a promising selective enrichment platform for precise nucleoside analysis.

Nucleobases, nucleosides and ginsenosides, which have a significant impact on the physiological activity of organisms, are reported to be the active components of ginseng, while they are less present in ginseng extracts. Few analytical methods have been developed so far to simultaneously analyze these three classes of compounds with different polarities present in ginseng extracts. In the present study, a simple and efficient analytical method was successfully developed for the simultaneous separation of 17 nucleobases, nucleosides and ginsenosides in ginseng extracts using supercritical fluid chromatography coupled with single quadrupole mass spectrometry (SFC-MS). The effect of various experimental factors on the separation performance, such as the column type, temperature and backpressure, the type of modifier and additive, and the concentration of make-up solvent were systematically investigated. Under the selected conditions, the developed method was successfully applied to the quality evaluation of 14 batches of ginseng extracts from different origins. The results obtained for the different batches indicate that this method could be employed for the quality assessment of ginseng extracts.

Low column efficiency for enantioseparations in capillary liquid chromatography (CLC) is a major problem commonly encountered with β -cyclodextrin ( β -CD) functionalized polymer-based monoliths. In order to investigate the effect of the crosslinker type on enantioseparation performance, three commonly used crosslinkers, i.e. 1,4-bis(acryloyl)piperazine (PDA), ethylene dimethacrylate (EDMA) and N , N -methylenebisacrylamide (MBA), were copolymerized using the one-pot approach with glycidyl methacrylate-mono-6-amino-6-deoxy- β -CD (GMA-NH 2 - β -CD) as functional monomer. The three monolithic columns, including poly(GMA-NH 2 - β -CD- co -PDA) and poly(GMA-NH 2 - β -CD- co -MBA), as well as the previously reported column poly(GMA-NH 2 - β -CD- co -EDMA) were systematically compared with respect to morphology, permeability, β -CD density, retention mechanism and efficiency. The enantioseparation ability of each column was evaluated using 14 chiral compounds, including mandelic acid derivatives, profens, N -derivatized amino acids, and herbicides, as test substances. The β -CD-functionalized monolith with MBA as crosslinker was found to exhibit higher polarity, higher column efficiency and better enantioseparation performance than those with PDA or EDMA as crosslinker.
