RESUMO

A sensitive voltammetric sensor based on palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs) and poly-bromocresol green (pBG) composite layer immobilized on amide functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes (AmSWCNTs) modified pyrolytic graphite (PdNPs:pBG/AmSWCNTs/PG) has been prepared for the simultaneous determination of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) catabolites, inosine (INO), hypoxanthine (HX), xanthine (XT), and uric acid (UA). The modified PdNPs:pBG/AmSWCNTs/PG was characterized by electrochemical experiments and surface analysis, which exhibited exceptional electrocatalytic effects towards the oxidation of INO, HX, XT, and UA with a significant enhanced peak current and well resolved peaks separation for all the analytes. The linear calibration curves were obtained in the concentration range of 0.001-175 µM, 0.001-200 µM, 0.001-150 µM, and 0.001-200 µM and limits of detection were found as 0.95 nM, 1.04 nM, 1.07 nM, and 0.43 nM corresponding to INO, HX, XT, and UA, respectively. The common metabolites present in the biological fluids did not interfere in the determination. The applicability of the proposed sensor was successfully demonstrated by determining INO, HX, XT, and UA in the human plasma and urine and the obtained results were validated by using HPLC.

RESUMO

With the goal of identifying neuroactive secondary metabolites from microalgae, a microscale in vivo zebrafish bioassay for antiseizure activity was used to evaluate bioactivities of the diatom Skeletonema marinoi, which was recently revealed as being a promising source of drug-like small molecules. A freeze-dried culture of S. marinoi was extracted by solvents with increasing polarities (hexane, dichloromethane, methanol and water) and these extracts were screened for anticonvulsant activity using a larval zebrafish epilepsy model with seizures induced by the GABAA antagonist pentylenetetrazole. The methanolic extract of S. marinoi exhibited significant anticonvulsant activity and was chosen for bioassay-guided fractionation, which associated the bioactivity with minor constituents. The key anticonvulsant constituent was identified as the nucleoside inosine, a well-known adenosine receptor agonist with previously reported antiseizure activities in mice and rat epilepsy models, but not reported to date as a bioactive constituent of microalgae. In addition, a UHPLC-HRMS metabolite profiling was used for dereplication of the other constituents of S. marinoi. Structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated by nuclear magnetic resonance and high-resolution spectrometry. These results highlight the potential of zebrafish-based screening and bioassay-guided fractionation to identify neuroactive marine natural products.

RESUMO

The analytical performance of the multi enzymes loaded single electrode sensor (SES) and dual electrode sensor (DES) was compared for the detection of adenosine and metabolites. The SES was fabricated by covalent binding of tri-enzymes, adenosine deaminase (ADA), purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP), and xanthine oxidase (XO) along with hydrazine (Hyd) onto a functionalized conducting polymer [2,2:5,2-terthiophene-3-(p-benzoic acid)] (pTTBA). The enzyme reaction electrode in DES was fabricated by covalent binding of ADA and PNP onto pTTBA coated on Au nanoparticles. The detection electrode in DES was constructed by covalent binding of XO and Hyd onto pTTBA coated on porous Au. Due to the higher amount (3.5 folds) of the immobilized enzymes and Hyd onto the DES than SES, and the lower Michaelis constant (Km) value for DES (28.7 µM) compared to SES (36.1 µM), the sensitivity was significantly enhanced for the DES (8.2 folds). The dynamic range obtained using DES was from 0.5 nM to 120.0 µM with a detection limit of 1.43 nM ±â€¯0.02, 0.76 nM ±â€¯0.02, and 0.48 nM ±â€¯0.01, for adenosine (AD), inosine (IN), and hypoxanthine (Hypo) respectively. Further, the DES was coupled with an electrochemical potential modulated microchannel for the separation and simultaneous detection of AD, IN, and Hypo in an extracellular matrix of cancerous (A549) and non-cancerous (Vero) cells. The sensor probe confirms a higher basal level of extracellular AD and its metabolites in cancer cells compared to normal cells. In addition, the effect of dipyridamole on released adenosine in A549 cells was investigated.

RESUMO

Ophiocordyceps xuefengensis, a recently described species of Ophiocordycepsthat is associated with the larvae of Phassusnodus (Hepialidae) in the living root or trunk of the medicinal plant Clerodendrumcyrtophyllum, isthe largest known Cordycepsspecies and is recognized as a desirable alternative for natural Ophiocordycepssinensis. This study investigated the main nucleosides and nucleobases in natural and cultured Ophiocordycepsxuefengensis. The contents of the nucleosides and nucleobases in the natural and cultured samples were determined by reverse phase HPLC. The highest concentration of adenosine was found in the natural fruit body and the cultured stroma, with almost no adenosine in the cadaver of Phassusnodus. The contents of adenine, guanosine, uridine and uracil in the cultured mycelium were significantly higher than those in the natural sample. Inosine was only detected in the natural samples. Thymidine and 2-deoxyadenosine were only found in the cadaver of Phassusnodus. Cordycepin was not detected in the five samples examined. These results suggested that the cultured mycelium and cultured stroma of Ophiocordycepsxuefengensis might be a promising substitute for natural O. xuefengensis.

RESUMO

The main constituents in an aqueous extract of Tricholoma matsutake (Tm) were identified by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode array detection and electrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HPLC-DAD/TOF-MS) and ion trap mass spectrometry (HPLC-DAD/Trap-MSn). The main factors in the extraction process which affect the yields of nutrients were optimized by single-factor experiments and orthogonal experiment design. In total, 12 constituents were identified from the aqueous extract of Tm, including tyrosine, cytidine, uridine, eritadenine, phenylalanine, nicotinamide, inosine, guanosine, tryptophan, adenosine, 5'-deoxy-5'-methylthioadenosine and riboflavin. The optimized extraction conditions were: the ratio of water to sample was 10 : 1 (v/w), Tm was extracted by ultrasonic-assisted extraction for 10 min, followed by water bath heating at 60 °C for 1 h. Among these extraction factors, the heating temperature is significant based on analysis of variance (ANOVA). The yields of nutrients were affected dramatically at high temperature leading to the loss of nutrients, especially for nucleosides and some amino acids.

RESUMO

Sample preparation is the first and very important step, which can greatly influence the repeatability and accuracy of the analysis. To date, several sample preparation methods with different solvents have been used for quantitative determination of nucleosides in Cordyceps, but their data are greatly various. In this study, five nucleosides, including adenosine, guanosine, inosine, uridine and cordycepin, in Cordyceps were determined using three extraction methods i.e. organic solvent pressurized liquid extraction, boiling water extraction and ambient temperature water extraction and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-diode array detection (DAD). The similar results were obtained when organic solvent pressurized liquid extraction and boiling water extraction were applied. However, the amounts of nucleosides in natural C. sinensis and cultured C. militaris extracted with ambient temperature water were greatly increased except those of adenosine in natural C. sinensis and cordycepin in cultured C. militaris. In addition, the amount of investigated nucleosides in cultured C. sinensis had no obvious variation among the three extraction methods. The results suggest that sample preparation has significant effect on the quantification of nucleosides in Cordyceps.

RESUMO

The general view that mRNA does not contain inosine has been challenged by the discovery of adenosine deaminases that act on RNA (ADARs). Although inosine monophosphate (IMP) cannot be detected in crude preparations of nucleotides derived from poly(A)+ RNA, here we show it is readily detectable and quantifiable once it is purified away from the Watson-Crick nucleotides. We report that IMP is present in mRNA at tissue-specific levels that correlate with the levels of ADAR mRNA expression. The amount of IMP present in poly(A)+ RNA isolated from various mammalian tissues suggests adenosine deamination may play an important role in regulating gene expression, particularly in brain, where we estimate one IMP is present for every 17 000 ribonucleotides.

RESUMO

A sensitive and simple micromethod for the accurate measurement of GMP reductase (EC 1.6.6.8) activity in crude extracts is described. The reaction product of [8-14C]IMP was separated from the substrate [8-14C]GMP by descending chromatography on Whatman DE81 ion-exchange paper. This separation method provides an analysis of the possible interfering reactions, such as the metabolic conversion of the substrate GMP to GDP, GTP, and/or guanosine, and guanine and the loss of the product IMP to inosine, hypoxanthine, and other metabolites. Low blank values (70-90 cpm) were obtained consistently with this assay because the IMP spot moves faster than the GMP spot. The major advantages of this method are direct measurement of GMP reductase activity in crude extracts, high sensitivity (with a limit of detection of < 10 pmol of IMP production), high reproducibility (< +/- 5%), and capability to measure activity in small samples (9 micrograms protein).

RESUMO

A novel nucleoside, O2'-methylinosine (Im), has been identified as a constituent of the ribosomal RNA of Crithidia fasciculata, a hemoflaggelate protozoan. The nucleoside is released as part of an alkali-stable dinucleotide, Im-Up, by alkaline hydrolysis of Crithidia rRNA, and as a 5'-nucleotide, pIm, by snake venom hydrolysis of the same RNA. The Im-containing derivatives isolated from Crithidia rRNA were characterized by comparison with marker compounds prepared by chemical deamination of the corresponding adenosine analogues. O2'-Methylinosine prepared from either natural Im-Up or natural pIm had the same ultraviolet absorption spectra and chromatographic properties as marker Im. Characterization of the base and sugar components of Im as hypoxanthine and 2-O-methylribose, respectively, provided final confimration of structure. Control experiments have eliminated the possibility that Im arises from O2'-methyladenosine (Am), a known constituent of ribosomal RNA, by chemical or enzymatic deamination during hydrolysis of Crithidia rRNA.
