This work offers construction and comparative evaluation the performance characteristics of conventional polymer (I), carbon paste (II) and carbon nanotubes chemically modified carbon paste ion selective electrodes (III) for meclofenoxate hydrochloride are described. These electrodes depend mainly on the incorporation of the ion pair of meclofenoxate hydrochloride with phosphomolybdic acid (PMA) or phosphotungestic acid (PTA). They showed near Nernestian responses over usable concentration range 1.0 × 10(-5) to 1.0 × 10(-2)M with slopes in the range 55.15-59.74 mV(concentrationdecade)(-1). These developed electrodes were fully characterized in terms of their composition, response time, working concentration range, life span, usable pH and temperature range. The electrodes showed a very good selectivity for Meclo with respect to a large number of inorganic cations, sugars and in the presence of the degradation product of the drug (p-chloro phenoxy acetic acid). The standard additions method was applied to the determination of MecloCl in pure solution, pharmaceutical preparations and biological samples. Dissolution testing was also applied using the proposed sensors.

A Non-Volatile Pro-Dicamba Herbicide Inspired by Meclofenoxate.

Chemistry

Dicamba is a popular herbicide with rising use but is also notorious for volatility drift. Inspired by meclofenoxate, which we show to be highly herbicidal, we developed a derivative of dicamba with an ester-bond to 2-dimethylaminoethanol. It remained herbicidal but is non-volatile, entering plants intact and hydrolyzing inside leaves to dicamba and 2-dimethylaminoethanol.

Doping with meclofenoxate, a nootropic stimulant prohibited in-competition by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), is identified through the primary marker of urinary 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (4-CPA). However, the presence of 4-CPA can also arise from permissible sources. This study ventured into comparing urinary excretion patterns among exposures to permitted chemicals (chlorphenesin and 4-CPA) and the banned stimulant (meclofenoxate) and interpreting the analytical findings according to the reporting requirements.

Article Synopsis
  • - Chlorphenesin carbamate, a muscle relaxant, can metabolize into 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (4-CPA), which is banned by WADA, necessitating better identification methods in doping tests.
  • - A study analyzed urine samples from ten volunteers who ingested chlorphenesin carbamate, identifying a total of 29 metabolites through advanced mass spectrometry techniques.
  • - The findings indicate that two metabolites, M9 and M10, have longer detection windows, and the metabolic changes primarily involve histidine and β-alanine pathways, aiding in improving future doping control protocols.

Background: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) is the most serious complication of diabetes mellitus, which has become a global health problem due to its high morbidity and disability rates and the poor efficacy of conventional treatments. Thus, it is urgent to identify novel molecular targets to improve the prognosis and reduce disability rate in DFU patients.

Results: In the present study, bulk RNA-seq and scRNA-seq associated with DFU were downloaded from the GEO database.
