The RhoB@ZIF-8 composite exhibited an emission band at 589 nm with fluorescent quantum yield of 19.8%. Since there was an efficient overlap between the absorption of malachite green (MG) and the fluorescence spectra (excitation and emission bands) of RhoB@ZIF-8 composite, the fluorescence intensity decreased sharply after MG was added. The fluorescence quenching was linear with the concentration of MG in the range of 0 to 13.0 μM with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.089 μM. Remarkably, this proposed sensing system has good performances including high specificity, good stability and recyclability. Finally, this fluorescent probe was successfully applied to the detection of MG in aquaculture water and fish tissue samples, revealing its potential practicability. This work will provide us a new research platform for MG sensing.","PeriodicalId":49641,"journal":{"name":"Quimica Nova","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68268079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using reduced amounts of extracts and efficient chromatographic steps, four acyl C6C3 derivatives (n-hexacosyl ferulate, n-hexacosyl, n-octacosyl, and n-triacontyl p-coumarates) were obtained from hexane phase whereas two C6C3 acids (ferulic and p-coumaric) were obtained from EtOAc phase. Isolated phenylpropanoids were evaluated against amastigote forms of parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. As result, it was observed that p-coumaric and ferulic acids were inactives whereas alkyl derivatives displayed EC50 values of 6.5 µmol L-1 (n-octacosyl p-coumarate), 9.3 µmol L-1 (n-triacontyl p-coumarate), 15.7 µmol L-1 (n-hexacosyl p-coumarate), and 32.2 µmol L-1 (n-hexacosyl ferulate).

The proposed glove box is made using medium density fiberboard (MDF), an acrylic lid, hinges, air valves, PVC gloves and other materials that can be found easily in local stores or on the internet. Tests to verify the quality of the nitrogen atmosphere were performed using the lighter test and niobium pentachloride (NbCl5), which is a moisture/oxygen sensitive material.

The Parnaíba Basin covers an area of 665,888 km2 between the northern and northeastern regions of Brazil. It is completely made up of siliciclastic sedimentary and volcanic rocks with ages varying between the Silurian and the Cretaceous. Among the formations of the Basin, the Tianguá Formation is considered a potential source rock. However, there are few geochemical and/or geological studies and no research work on the molecular parameters of the organic matter (OM) present in its outcropping rocks (OR). Thus, the objective of the present work is to characterize the OM, concerning the depositional paleoenvironment and the degree of thermal evolution, through molecular parameters and OM content. The OM was extracted using the Soxhlet system, chromatographed by classical methods, and analyzed using GC-MS and GC-MS/MS. The samples exhibited low total organic carbon values (TOC <1) and the molecular parameters of saturated and aromatic hydrocarbons suggested a marine depositional environment, with algae, bacteria, and terrestrial plants input. The C30 biomarkers (24-n-propylcholestane), identified using synthetic standards and usually associated with the Chrysophyte algae, corroborated the marine origin of the depositional environment. In addition, some molecular parameters suggested little thermal evolution.","PeriodicalId":49641,"journal":{"name":"Quimica Nova","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68267884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we proposed a novel surface modification procedure by grafting hyperbranched polyglycerol (HPG) onto the surface of MNPs (Fe3O4@SiO2@MAA), in which lots of hydroxyl groups from HPG not only provide the hydrates sheath to prevent non-specific adsorption of proteins, but also react with succinic anhydride to generate carboxyl groups that serve as active sites to specifically bind proteins. The protein adsorption experiments showed that the non-specific adsorption (0.07 μg mg-1) was reduced to 4.58% of that before modification. It also showed that the antigen binding capacity was 9.7 times higher than the original when detecting cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in human plasma samples, which indicated that the final synthesized MNPs had great application prospects in bio-separation and bioanalysis.","PeriodicalId":49641,"journal":{"name":"Quimica Nova","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68268210","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are air pollutants emitted from different sources, mainly by industries and motor vehicles. The evaluation of the emission of these compounds into the atmosphere should be done systematically and with a varied class of compounds. The large number of data generated during the monitoring of these VOCs requires the use of multivariate data tools to interpret the results. In this sense, this work aimed to monitor 10 aromatic VOCs present in the atmosphere of the largest cities in the Norte Fluminense (Campos dos Goytacazes) and Noroeste Fluminense (Itaperuna) regions. The VOCs were actively sampled and analyzed by gas chromatography with mass spectrometry detection after thermal desorption. After treatment of analytical results, it was observed that in both cities there is influence of vehicular emissions. In the city of Itaperuna, due to the relief and lower dispersion of contaminants, there is a higher occurrence of photochemical reactions. The exploratory analysis of the data allowed identifying the variables that were more significant and correlating these variables with the main sources of emission of the compounds. This is the first study of VOCs evaluation in Campos dos Goytacazes and Itaperuna, demonstrating the relevance of this research for understanding the behavior of VOCs in these cities, which have different reliefs and high traffic of cars and trucks in the studied sites.","PeriodicalId":49641,"journal":{"name":"Quimica Nova","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68268281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
