[Methods] The flavonoid compounds in the leaves of T. asiatica were reflux-extracted in a water bath, and the total flavonoid content in T. asiatica was determined by ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry. [Results] The total flavonoid content in T. asiatica leaves varied according to different habitats. The highest content was found in Gaofeng (19.41%) of Guangxi, followed by Huizhou (16.88%) of Guangdong and Hong Kong (16.76%). The lowest total flavonoid content was found in Shangcuntang (3.91%) of Bobai County, Guangxi, followed by Beiliu (4.15%), Guangxi. The total flavonoid contents in the samples ranged from 3.91% to 19.41%, with an average content of about 12.36%. [Conclusions] The UV spectrophotometry method is easy to operate, and has good repeatability, accurate detection results, and high reliability, and can be used for the determination of flavonoids in T. asiatica .展开更多
An Ir8 Pd4-heteronuclear metal-organic cage(MOC-51)was assembled from bipodal metalloligand[Ir(ppy)2(qpy)(BF4)](qpy=4,4′:2′,2″:4″,4′′′-quaterpyridine;ppy-2-phenylpridine)with Pd(Ⅱ)salt.The cubic barrel shaped ...An Ir8 Pd4-heteronuclear metal-organic cage(MOC-51)was assembled from bipodal metalloligand[Ir(ppy)2(qpy)(BF4)](qpy=4,4′:2′,2″:4″,4′′′-quaterpyridine;ppy-2-phenylpridine)with Pd(Ⅱ)salt.The cubic barrel shaped MOC shows one-photon and two-photon excited deep-red emission,as well as large singlet oxygen quantum yields under visible light irradiation,therefore exhibiting great potentials in organelles-targeted cell imaging and photodynamic therapy(PDT).Compared with the Ir(Ⅲ)metalloligand,the Ir8 Pd4-MOC showed less dark toxicity and higher mitochondria-targeting efficiency.The localization in mitochondria overco mes the limitation of short lifetime and diffusion distance of ROS in cell,thus improved PDT effect can be obtained in low light dose usage of the MOC.This study presents the first case of Ir-based metal-organic cages for bio-applications in successful integration of imaging diagnosis and photodynamic therapy.展开更多
