1. Five metabolites were isolated from the urine of dogs dosed with 3-(hydroxymethyl)-8-methoxy[4-14C]chromone. These were identified as 8-methoxychromone, 2-hydroxy-3-methoxyacetophenone, 3-(hydroxymethyl)-8-hydroxychromone, 8-hydroxychromone and 2,3-dihydroxyacetophenone. 2. These compounds were also present in the urine of rats treated with labelled drug, together with unchanged drug and two intermediate metabolites, 3-carboxy-8-methoxychromone and 3-(carboxymethyl)-8-hydroxychromone. 3. In addition to the unconjugated labelled compounds, glucuronides and sulphates were identified. 4. Quantitative data were obtained for all of the 20 labelled compounds in rat urine. 5. A scheme is presented for the biotransformation of 3-(hydroxymethyl)-8-methoxychromone in rats and dogs, and a mechanism for scission of the gamma-pyrone ring is suggested.

Myoglobin (Mb), an important cardiac marker, plays a crucial role in diagnosing, monitoring, and evaluating the condition of patients with cardiovascular diseases. Here, we propose a label-free photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor for the detection of Mb through target regulated the photoactivity of AgS/FeOOH heterojunction. The AgS/FeOOH nanospindles were synthesized and served as a sensing platform for the fabrication of bio-recognized process for Mb.

Drug toxicity during the development of candidate pharmaceuticals is the leading cause of discontinuation in preclinical drug discovery and development. Traditionally, the cause of the toxicity is often determined by histological examination, clinical pathology, and the detection of drugs and/or metabolites by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). While these techniques individually provide information on the pathological effects of the drug and the detection of metabolites, they cannot provide specific molecular spatial information without additional experiments.

The cyclic triangular complex - silver (I) 4-nitro-3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)pyrazolate (Agpz) with super π-acidity shows great potential in adsorptive desulfurization (ADS) as a novel adsorbent, however, it fails to work well in the continue flow adsorption study. In order to improve its dynamic adsorption performance, a composite has been prepared by mixing Agpz and multilayer graphene (MG) in methanol. Based on the results of characterization by FT-IR, XPS, SEM, and so on, the optimal mass ratio of Agpz:MG in the synthesis is 0.

Synthesis of Glycosylphosphatidylinositol Analogues with an Unnatural -D-Glucosamine-(1→6)--Inositol Motif.

Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchors contain a unique α-D-glucosamine-(1→6)--inositol [αGlcN(1,6)Ins] motif in their conserved core structure. To facilitate investigations of the functional roles of this structural motif, two GPI analogues containing unnatural βGlcN(1,6)Ins, instead of αGlcN(1,6)Ins, and an alkyne group at different positions of the GPI core were designed and synthesized. To this end, an orthogonally protected pseudopentasaccharide derivative of GPIs with the βGlcN(1,6)Ins motif was convergently constructed via [3+2] glycosylation and used as the common intermediate to prepare both GPI analogues by streamlined synthetic protocols.
