AI Article Synopsis

  • Phospholipids are crucial parts of biological membranes but are challenging to identify and quantify without chemical modification.
  • Chemical derivatization enhances the detection and measurement of phospholipids in biological samples.
  • The paper reviews various derivatization techniques for phospholipids used in HPLC, CE, and GC, along with historical methods for TLC.

Article Abstract

Phospholipids are major components of biological membranes. Without chemical derivatization, it is difficult to identify and quantitate phospholipids in biological samples. Chemical derivatization can improve both the selectivity and sensitivity of the analytes. This paper gives a full review, through March, 2002, of derivatization methods used for phospholipids in HPLC, CE and GC as well as the spray reagent used for TLC in the early days.

New semisynthetic α-glucosidase inhibitor from a doubly-chemically engineered extract.

Nat Prod Bioprospect

January 2025

Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas, Suipacha 531, S2002LRK, Rosario, Argentina.

Chemically engineered extracts represent a promising source of new bioactive semi-synthetic molecules. Prepared through direct derivatization of natural extracts, they can include constituents enriched with elements and sub-structures that are less common in natural products compared to drugs. Fourteen such extracts were prepared through sequential reactions with hydrazine and a fluorinating reagent, and their α-glucosidase inhibition properties were compared.

Palladium-Catalyzed Solvent-Controlled Divergent C2/C5 Site-Selective Alkynylation of Pyrrole Derivatives.

Among the known aromatic -heterocycles, pyrroles are significant and versatile privileged components in pharmacologically relevant molecules. Herein, we demonstrate a protocol for the selective construction of alkynylated pyrroles in a diversity-oriented fashion through divergent C2/C5 site-selective alkynylation of pyrrole derivatives by employing a palladium catalyst with two different solvent systems. In the presence of 1,4-dioxane, the C2-alkynylation process via chelation-assisted palladation is favored.

Macrocycles are increasingly considered as promising modalities to target challenging intracellular proteins. However, strategies for transitioning from active linear starting points to improved macrocycles are still underdeveloped. Here we explored the derivatization of linkers as an approach for macrocycle optimization.

In vitro metabolism of seven arolyl-derived fentanyl-type new psychoactive substances.

Arch Toxicol

January 2025

School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Guangxi University, Nanning, Guangxi, 530004, People's Republic of China.

Over the past decade, fentanyl-type new psychoactive substances (F-NPS) have emerged as the most representative synthetic opioids in third-generation drugs. These substances are characterized by their "low" fatal dose and parent drug levels in biological matrices, "fast" rates of derivatization and metabolism, and "many" derivatization sites and analogs. The low levels of parent fentanyl NPS in biological matrices complicate their detection, necessitating the use of characteristic metabolites as biomarkers for forensic analysis.

In this work, we present the synthesis and application of fluorescent rhodamine B hydrazide for the derivatization of simple oligosaccharides and complex glycans using a hydrazone formation chemistry approach. The labeling conditions and the experimental setup of CE/LIF were optimized by analyzing oligosaccharide standards. The CE/LIF separations were performed in polybrene-coated capillaries eliminating the need for the purification step after derivatization.
