A lipophilic hollow-fiber technique was used in the enzymatic sulfation of lipophilic toxins. Endogenous and exogenous toxins, for which glucuronidation reactions already were demonstrated with this technique, were submitted to sulfate transferase reaction as an alternative phase-II detoxification route. Native enzyme was circulated on the external side of a lipophilic hollow-fiber membrane while the toxin-containing media (serum or aqueous solution) were circulated inside the hollow fiber. Sulfation reactions were catalyzed by rabbit liver cytosol, with a specific sulfate transferase activity of 626 nmol/min-mg protein. Clearance of the hollow-fiber module for phenol, p-cresol, paracetamol, 2-aminophenol, and 5-hydroxyindol were determined to be 38.1, 47.2, 2.7, 5.3, and 3.2 pmol/mg protein/h/cm2 hollow-fiber surface, respectively. This technique allows sulfation reactions with crude enzyme preparations over long periods without loss of activity from covalent immobilization and without immunological hazards.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a lifesaving support technology for potentially reversible neonatal cardiac and/or respiratory failure. As the survival and the overall outcome of patients rely on the treatment and reversal of the underlying disease, effective and preferentially evidence-based pharmacotherapy is crucial to target recovery. Currently limited data exist to support the clinicians in their every-day intensive care prescribing practice with the contemporary ECMO technology.

Aminopeptidases like aminopeptidase N (APN, also known as CD13) play an important role not only in normal cellular functioning but also in the development of cancer, including processes like tumor cell invasion, differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis, motility, and angiogenesis. An increased expression of APN has been described in several types of human malignancies, especially those characterized by fast-growing and aggressive phenotypes, suggesting APN as a potential therapeutic target. Melphalan flufenamide ethyl ester (melflufen, previously denoted J1) is a peptidase-potentiated alkylating agent.

Determination of the physicochemical properties, especially the lipophilicity (expressed as the logarithm of distribution coefficient, log D) and dissociation constant (pK), is of great importance in the early stage of environmental risk assessment for an ionizable compound without these data. Currently, the log D and pK values of dialkyl phosphinic acids (DPAs), the environmental hydrolysates of aluminum dialkyl phosphinates (ADPs) that is one class of emerging phosphorus-containing flame retardants, are not available. In this study, the log D and pK values of three DPAs including methylethylphosphinic acid (MEPA), diethylphosphinic acid (DEPA) and methylcyclohexyl phosphinic acid (MHPA), were simultaneously determined by negligible depletion hollow fiber supported liquid phase microextraction (nd-HF-LPME) followed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS).

In this paper, a simple, rapid, solvent-less and environmental friendliness microextraction method, microwave-assisted extraction-hollow fiber-liquid/solid phase microextraction (MAE-HF-L/SME), was developed for simultaneous extraction and enrichment of 54 trace hydrophilic/lipophilic pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) from fish samples. A solid-phase extraction material, solid-phase microextraction (SPME) fiber, was synthesized. The SPME fiber had a homogeneous, loose structure and good mechanical properties, and they exhibited a good adsorption capacity for most PPCPs selected.
