Covalent organic framework-based solid phase microextraction coupled with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry for the quantitative assessment of abnormal bile acids by triclosan exposure in mice.

Bile acids, a representative diagnostic indicator of liver function, are used to visualize the extent of liver injury. Numerous studies have shown that triclosan (TCS) exposure leads to abnormal bile acid metabolism. As a result, there is a requirement to develop a fast and smart means to quantitatively monitor abnormal bile acids from exposure to triclosan in bio-sample.

Fluorine-functionalized covalent organic framework coated solid-phase microextraction probe coupled with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry for monitoring triclosan, triclocarban, and chlorophenols in mice.

Triclosan (TCS), triclocarban (TCC), and chlorophenols (CPs) are broad-spectrum antibacterials widely used in dermatological and oral hygiene products, which could induce severe liver and intestine injuries. Hence, it is essential to establish a rapid and sensitive method to monitor TCS, TCC, and CPs in various organisms. In this work, fluorine-functionalized covalent organic framework (COF-F) was prepared by using 4,4',4''-(1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triyl)tri-aniline and 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoroterephthalaldehyde as two building units and employed as a solid phase microextraction (SPME) probe for the extraction of TCS, TCC and CPs.

Imidacloprid-induced lung injury in mice: Activation of the PI3K/AKT/NF-κB signaling pathway via TLR4 receptor engagement.

Significant impairment of pulmonary function has been demonstrated through long-term exposure to neonicotinoid insecticides, such as imidacloprid (IMI). However, the underlying mechanisms of lung injury induced by IMI remain unclear. In this study, a mouse model of IMI-induced pulmonary injury was established, and the toxicity and lung damage were assessed through mouse body weight, organ index, hematological parameters, and histopathological analysis of lung tissues.

In situ fabrication of covalent organic frameworks on solid-phase microextraction probes coupled with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry for enrichment and determination of androgens in biosamples.

Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupled with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) was developed for rapid and sensitive determination of endogenous androgens. The SPME probe is coated with covalent organic frameworks (COFs) synthesized by reacting 1,3,5-tri(4-aminophenyl)benzene (TPB) with 2,5-dioctyloxybenzaldehyde (C8PDA). This COFs-SPME probe offers several advantages, including enhanced extraction efficiency and stability.

Facile synthesis of Cu-immobilized magnetic covalent organic frameworks for highly efficient enrichment and sensitive determination of five phthalate monoesters from mouse plasma with HPLC-MS/MS.

Development of a simple, highly selective, and sensitive analytical method for phthalate monoesters (mPAEs) remains a challenge due to the complexity of biological samples. To address this issue, Cu immobilized magnetic covalent organic frameworks (FeO@TtDt@Cu composites) with core-shell structures were prepared to enhance the enrichment efficiency of mPAEs by a facile approach synthesis of COFs shells with inherent bifunctional groups on FeO NPs and further Cu immobilization. The composites exhibit high specific surface area (348.
