Polar Advantage II C18 guard column(PA II C18,10 mm×4.6 mm,5 μm),which was also the on-line Extraction Cartridge SPE column,by washing with 100% H2O for 1 min.The extracted sample was then eluted onto a PA II C18 column(150 mm×4.6 mm,5 μm) and separated by isocratic elution with acetonitrile-water(40:60,v/v).The mobile phase was run at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min,and the UV detector was set at 195 nm.Retention time of cyclophosphamide was 4.3 min and the total run-time was 6 min.The linear range of the standard curve was from 1.0 to 200 μg/mL(r2 = 0.9999),and the limits of quantification and detection were 1.0 μg/mL(RSD10%,n = 5) and 0.3 μg/mL(RSD13%,n = 5),respectively.Both intra-and inter-day variations were less than 5.6%.The developed method can be used for the therapeutic drug monitoring of cyclophosphamide in the clinic.展开更多

The result showed that the binding constant K of Ethaselen and BSA is 3.5×10^4L/mol and the number of binding sites n = 0.9. The binding between Ethaselen and BSA or human serum albumin (HSA) is mainly through hydrophobic interactions.展开更多

It has been found that DC-SIGN can recognize both highly mannosylated and branched fucosylated oligosaccharides. Herein, we synthesized a new series of homo-and Man-Fuc heteroglycoclusters with diverse structures. The binding properties of these compounds to tetrameric extracellular DC-SIGN were assessed by surface plasmon resonance(SPR). Heteroglycocluster 17 b showed high DC-SIGN-binding activity(K;= 2.6 μM). The structural determinants of this high affinity of 17 b were rationalized by docking and compared with its much less potent isomer 17 a. Therefore, 17 b might serve as a base for the development of potent inhibitors of DC-SIGN-dependent viral infection.展开更多
