Monodispersed CaCO@hydroxyapatite/magnetite microspheres for efficient and selective extraction of benzoylurea insecticides in tea beverages samples.

A novel monodispersed CaCO@hydroxyapatite/magnetite microsphere (CaCO @HAP/FeO) was prepared via an in-situ growth strategy, and applied as an adsorbent for efficient and selective adsorption of benzoylurea insecticides (BUs) in various tea beverages samples. The sorbent exhibited uniformity in particle size, good mono-dispersibility and excellent solvent stability. The adsorption equilibrium of BUs (100 ng/mL) in 10 mL of tea beverages samples was achieved on 20 mg of CaCO @HAP/FeO within 10 min.

Inhibitory Effects of Danshen components on CYP2C8 and CYP2J2.

The use of Chinese herbal medicines and natural products has become increasingly popular in both China and Western societies as an alternative medicine for the treatment of diseases or as a health supplement.
