Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs): Biochemistry, Signaling, Analytical Methods, and Epigenetic Effects
2020
The advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are organic molecules formed in any living organisms with a great variety of structural and functional properties. They are considered organic markers of the glycation process. Due to their great heterogeneity, there is no specific test for their operational measurement. In this review, we have updated the most common chromatographic, colorimetric, spectroscopic, mass spectrometric, and serological methods, typically used for the determination of AGEs in biological samples. We have described their signaling and signal transduction mechanisms and cell epigenetic effects. Although mass spectrometric analysis is not widespread in the detection of AGEs…
Formation of 3-methyl-1,2,3-butanetricarboxylic acid via gas phase oxidation of pinonic acid – a mass spectrometric study of SOA aging
2012
Abstract. This paper presents the results of mass spectrometric investigations of the OH-initiated oxidative aging of α-pinene SOA under simulated tropospheric conditions at the large aerosol chamber facility AIDA, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. In particular, the OH-initiated oxidation of pure pinic and pinonic acid, two well-known oxidation products of α-pinene, was investigated. Two complementary analytical techniques were used, on-line atmospheric pressure chemical ionization/mass spectrometry (APCI/MS) and filter sampling followed by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS). The results show that 3-methyl-1,2,3-butanetricarboxylic acid (MBTCA), a very low volatile α-pine…
Verschiedenartige Additionsreaktionen von 2-Cyano-2-propylradikalen an p-Tolylmethacrylat und 4-Cyclohexylphenylmethacrylat
1976
Durch Umsetzung von p-Tolylmethacrylat oder 4-Cyclohexylphenylmethacrylat in stark verdunnter, siedender Benzollosung mit einem sehr grosen Uberschus an 2,2′-Azoisobutyronitril wurden die erwarteten Additionsprodukte mit 2-Cyano-2-propylradikalen (1) erhalten, namlich p-Tolyl- bzw. 4-Cyclohexylphenyl-[4-cyano-2-(2-cyano-2-propyl)-2,4-dimethyl]valerianat (3a bzw. 3b) mit rund 50% Ausbeute. Daneben wurden p-Tolyl- bzw. 4-Cyclohexylphenyl-(4-cyano-4-methyl-2-methylen)valerianat (4a bzw. 4b), p-Tolyl- bzw. 4-Cyclohexylphenyl-[4-cyano-2(2-cyano-2-methyl-1-propyl)-4-methyl]valerianat (5a bzw. 5b), p-Tolyl- bzw. 4-Cyclohexylphenyl-(4-cyano-2,4-dimethyl)valerianat (6a bzw. 6b) und p-Tolyl- bzw. 4-C…
GHB related acids (dihydroxy butyric acids, glycolic acid) can help in the interpretation of post mortem GHB results.
2020
Post mortem gamma hydroxy butyric acid (GHB) concentrations should be interpreted with caution since GHB concentrations can increase after death. Post mortem concentrations after the intake of GHB ante mortem do overlap with concentration ranges in cases without known exposure to GHB and make an interpretation challenging. GHB is known to undergo intensive metabolism to related acids (glycolic acid (GA), succinic acid (SA), 2,4- and 3,4-dihydroxy butyric acid (2,4-OH-BA and 3,4-OH-BA)). GHB and these related acids were analyzed using a validated gas chromatographic mass spectrometric (GC-MS) method after liquid liquid extraction and trimethylsilylation. SA concentrations were not usable pos…
Solid state anion–π interactions involving polyhalides
2013
The stabilization of polyhalides in the solid state with the support of electron-deficient pentafluorophenyl groups is described. Furthermore, a synthetic approach towards the sensitive tetraiodide dianion is described and ESI mass spectrometric evidence for its presence in solution is reported.
Glutathione metabolism in type 2 diabetes and its relationship with microvascular complications and glycemia
2018
Aims/hypotheses We hypothesized that there is decreased synthesis of glutathione (GSH) in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) especially in the presence of microvascular complications, and this is dependent on the degree of hyperglycemia. Methods In this case-control study, we recruited 16 patients with T2DM (7 without and 9 with microvascular complications), and 8 age- and sex-matched non-diabetic controls. We measured GSH synthesis rate using an infusion of [2H2]-glycine as isotopic tracer and collection of blood samples for liquid chromatography mass spectrometric analysis. Results Compared to the controls, T2DM patients had lower erythrocyte GSH concentrations (0.90 ± 0.42 vs. 0.35 ± 0.30 mmol/L; P …
Configurations and conformations of torreyol (δ-cadinol), α-cadinol, T-muurolol and T-cadinol
1981
Abstract The configurations and conformations of torreyol (6; “δ-cadinol”,10α-hydroxy-4-muurolene), α-cadinol (7; 10α-hydroxy-4-cadinene), T-muurolol (8; 10β-hydroxy-4-muurolene), and T-cadinol (9; 10β-hydroxy-4-cadinene) have been determined by an extensive PMR study using lanthanide-induced shifts. Characteristic mass spectrometric fragmentation patterns of muurolols and cadinols are briefly discussed.
Comparison of hard vaporization and soft ionization techniques in the mass spectrometry of some palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes with C-bonde…
1990
Abstract Electron impact, fast atom bombardment and laser induced vaporization techniques are compared in the mass spectrometric behaviour of some palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes with C-bonded heterocyclic ligands of the type trans -[MCl(R N )(PPh 3 ) 2 ] [M = Pd, R N = 2-pyridyl, 1 ; 2-pyrazyl, 2; 2-pyrimidyl, 3; M = Pt, R N = 2-pyridyl, 4 ].
Effect of operation conditions of the drop-on-demand aerosol generator on aerosol characteristics: Pseudo-cinematographic and plasma mass spectrometr…
2014
Abstract The recently presented drop-on-demand (DOD) aerosol generator overcomes some of the drawbacks of pneumatic nebulization, as its aerosol is no longer generated by gas–liquid interaction. In the current study, an advanced imaging technique is presented, based on a CCD camera equipped with magnifying telecentric optics to allow for fast, automated and precise aerosol characterization as well as fundamental studies on the droplet generation processes by means of pseudo-cinematography. The DOD aerosol generator is thoroughly characterized regarding its droplet size distribution, which shows few distinct populations rather than a continuous distribution. Other important figures, such as …
