The metabolism of GFS has been shown to fit a two component model following its administration by intravenous injection, and its pharmacokinetic parameters were determined to be as follows: half-time of distribution phase (t1/2α)=11.2±2.93 min, half-time of elimination phase (tl/2α)=98.20±25.78 min, maximum concentration (Cmax)=110.53 gg/mL and peak time (Tmax)=5 min. The pharmacokinetic behavior of GFS was also investigated following intragastric administration. However, the concentration of GFS found in serum was too low for detection, and GFS could only be detected for up to 2 h after intragastric administration (200 mg/kg body weight). Thus, the bioavailability of GFS was low following intragastric administration because of the metabolism of GFS. In conclusion, HPLC with post-column derivatization could be used for quantitative microanalysis and pharmacokinetic studies to determine the presence of polysaccharides in the serum following intravenous injection.展开更多

In a new direction, POMs having a purely inorganic framework are now being explored as efficient catalysts for water oxidation. This review focuses on very recent developments of POM-based catalysts for water oxidation to O2. In the very extensive family of POMs, tetra-core sandwich-type Ru- and Co-containing POM complexes, namely [Ru404(OH)2(H20)4(y-SiW10O36)2]10- and [CO4(H2O)2(a-PWgO34)2]10- exhibit the ability to facilitate water oxidation under electrocatalytic and/or photocatalytic conditions. However, it is concluded that much work still needs to be done to explain the catalytic mechanisms and optimize these catalytic systems. In addition, recent trends in using ionic liquids as media to modify the electrolytic environment and enhance water oxidation are highlighted.展开更多

Three catalysts, a heteropolyacid(H_4SiW_(12)O_(40), SiW_(12) for short), its complex with γ-CD(SiW_(12)/γ-CD for short) and formic acid, were used for comparison. The chemical transformation products were identified based on the accurate mass measurement and the fragment ions obtained from tandem mass spectrometry. It was concluded that the catalytic efficiency of SiW_(12)(≈SiW_(12)/γ-CD) is ca. 410 times higher than that of formic acid, thus becoming the most efficient catalyst for chemical transformations of ginsenosides.展开更多
