Control of these insects can be achieved by the inhibition of enzymes present in the insect's body. The enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is present in the neuromuscular junctions of vertebrates and invertebrates, and it is an important target for pest control. Herein, we present the development of a disposable electrochemical biosensor based on AChE (Bio-AChE) to rapidly evaluate the presence of new potential inhibitors in crude extracts of plants. Bio-AChE was constructed by modifying the disposable screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) with glutathione-decorated gold nanoparticles on which AChE was covalently immobilized. Electrochemical studies confirm the effective immobilization of the enzyme, and the Bio-AChE was applied to assess the inhibitory activity of azadirachtin, obtained from Azadirachta indica, which is a well-known AChE inhibitor. The proposed biosensor showed excellent results, demonstrating the inhibition activity of azadirachtin against AChE. The crude extracts of Picramnia riedelli, P. ciliata, and Toona ciliata were evaluated with the Bio-AChE, and all showed inhibition percentage values of around 50%. The extracts were evaluated by 1H NMR spectra, which identified classes of natural compounds that could be responsible for the inhibition activity. The proposed disposable Bio-AChE was shown to be a reliable method for simple and rapid screening of new inhibitors in plant extracts, opening an avenue for the screening of new natural products with potential for pest control.","PeriodicalId":64,"journal":{"name":"Analytical Methods","volume":" 11","pages":" 2417-2426"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143522138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An e-cigarette consists of an e-liquid and a heating device, generating an aerosol that the user can inhale. Recently, several studies have shown that metals and metalloids, including As, Cd, and Pb, known carcinogens, were present in these aerosols. To ensure the accuracy of dose-toxicity estimations, it is essential to have access to reliable and reproducible methods for estimating the dose in question. Although more standardization methodologies were introduced in the analysis of metal(loid)s from aerosols, a huge divergence in sample preparation can be found in the literature. This work aimed to provide an overview of the sample preparation methods used to quantify these metal(loid)s. Therefore, a literature search was conducted in September 2024, that followed the PRISMA guidelines. Among the 48 articles selected, a wide variability in sample preparation was observed, specifically variations in aerosol generation characteristics and collection techniques. Despite the widespread use of methods as filters and impingers, many studies failed to validate critical steps such as aerosol recovery, blank corrections, and the extent of matrix effects. In addition, poor inorganic methodological practices were often applied, such as excessive use of glass materials for aerosol collection or other sample preparation steps. Therefore, further standardization of methodologies is urgently needed to improve the reliability of metal quantification in e-cigarette aerosols, which could potentially enhance regulatory frameworks and facilitate the routine analysis of e-cigarette emissions.","PeriodicalId":64,"journal":{"name":"Analytical Methods","volume":" 9","pages":" 1997-2014"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143439412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To solve this problem, this study proposes a non-linear spectral transfer method based on a convolutional variational autoencoder (CVAE). This method extracts key features from spectral data using an encoder and reconstructs the original data using a decoder, which significantly reduces the impact of spectral shifts caused by differences in the resolution of measurement devices. Specifically, the encoder of the CVAE combines the convolutional layers with a sigmoid activation function to effectively capture the non-linear relationship between the spectra of the master and slave devices. Furthermore, in the face of the problem that traditional autoencoders lack the modeling ability for data distribution, this method adopts the idea of variational inference to learn the potential representation of COD spectral signals, thereby effectively capturing the global features of the COD spectral signals. Finally, we input the transformation spectra derived from the spectral space transformation, piecewise direct standardization, deep autoencoders, convolutional autoencoder, and the proposed method into the partial least squares multivariate calibration model. The results show that the proposed method reduces the root mean square error of the prediction by 1.0242, 0.4571, 0.4201, and 0.1965, respectively, compared to the other four methods. The above results indicate that the proposed method effectively solves the problem of model sharing between different instruments and provides new perspectives for research and applications in related fields.","PeriodicalId":64,"journal":{"name":"Analytical Methods","volume":" 11","pages":" 2446-2455"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143539516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 752 metabolites were identified in both raspberry varieties, with 375 metabolites detected in negative ion mode and additional metabolites identified in positive ion mode. The total number of differential metabolites between TSM and CSM was 62, with orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) revealing that the main differential metabolites between the two varieties were phenolic compounds, organic acids, and alkaloids. KEGG pathway analysis identified the top three significantly different metabolic pathways as biosynthesis of amino acids; valine, leucine, and isoleucine biosynthesis; and alanine, aspartate, and glutamate metabolism. In conclusion, this study comprehensively analyzed the metabolic characteristics of TSM and CSM raspberry varieties, providing valuable insights and revealing their potential application prospects. Compared to previous studies, this research provides new insights into the metabolic differences between TSM and CSM cultivars, specifically highlighting newly identified metabolites that were not reported before. These findings include novel differences in phenolic compounds and alkaloids, which play important roles in plant stress response and have potential health benefits. This enhances our understanding of the unique properties of each cultivar and underscores the biological functions of the newly identified metabolites, contributing to the broader field of functional food development.","PeriodicalId":64,"journal":{"name":"Analytical Methods","volume":" 9","pages":" 2112-2124"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143412428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Early detection is crucial, yet reliable biomarkers are limited. Methylated SEPT9 (mSEPT9) has emerged as a promising biomarker for HCC. Building upon previous ExBP technology, we enhanced the semi-nested realtime PCR assay by integrating TaqMan probes, enabling quantitative detection of mSEPT9 in plasma samples of HCC patients. The assay was validated using synthetic DNA standards and plasma samples from 49 HCC patients, 20 chronic liver disease (CLD) patients, and 32 healthy donors (HDs). Our assay demonstrated sensitivity in detecting methylation ratios as low as 1 : 100 000. The assay showed a strong linear correlation between Ct values and methylation levels over four orders of magnitude (R2 = 0.96178), indicating robust quantification. Clinically, the assay revealed significant differences in ΔCt values between HCC patients (median ΔCt = 19.55) and controls (CLD: 29.32 and HDs: 26.19, p < 0.005). ROC analysis for HCC vs. controls yielded an AUC of 0.729, with 77.55% sensitivity and 59.62% specificity at the optimal cutoff (≤25.98). Notably, the assay identified 72.73% of HCC cases with AFP levels below 20 ng mL−1, underscoring its potential in detecting AFP-negative cases. These findings suggest that the novel mSEPT9 assay is a sensitive and specific tool for early HCC detection, offering prognostic value for clinical monitoring.","PeriodicalId":64,"journal":{"name":"Analytical Methods","volume":" 9","pages":" 2181-2190"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlepdf/2025/ay/d4ay02168a?page=search","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143439413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dissolution paddle tester (USP Apparatus 2) has been widely used by industry to evaluate the rate of a drug's dissolution from a formulation.

Apex vessels are dissolution vessels with a convex bottom that have gained interest due to improved hydrodynamics and reduced accumulation of trapped drug product in formulation at the bottom of the vessel during dissolution testing. In this study, we evaluated the effect of changing mechanical calibration parameters within the acceptable mechanical calibration ranges and their impacts on the dissolution of the new DPVS – Prednisone tablets in deaerated water using both standard and apex vessels as well as whether the test results from varied apparatus configurations met the PVT acceptance criteria. All configurations within specified parameters for standard vessels fell within PVT acceptance criteria, but the higher dissolution rate in apex vessels fell beyond the current PVT acceptance range. This indicates that the current PVT or DPVS-Prednisone tablet is not suitable for the qualification of USP Apparatus 2 fitted with apex vessels.","PeriodicalId":64,"journal":{"name":"Analytical Methods","volume":" 12","pages":" 2559-2566"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143583967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The presence of rich hydroxyl, carboxyl, amide, and phosphate functional groups on the surface of LACs is revealed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).

With a maximal mono-layer adsorption capacity (qm) of 16.86 and 7.69 mg g−1 at 25 °C, the pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir isotherm provided a good description of the kinetic and equilibrium data. The adsorption was caused in part by the intra-particle diffusion mechanism. With negative ΔG° and positive ΔH° values, the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic. Under optimum conditions of pH 3.0 and 25 °C, the maximum % removal for BRSM (90 mg L−1) was reported to be 77.65% within 90 min.

The separation of the chemistry in nucleus and lipid droplets emphasizes the effectiveness in complex spectral analysis. Furthermore, the ability to map the distribution of lipid droplets in surviving cells can advance our understanding of how these structures contribute to cancer cell survival during treatment.
