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

The obtained HgS nanoparticles with good dispersibility were characterized by Fourier transform infrared. Scanning electron microscopy are used to envisage the binding of nanoparticles with functional groups. The polyurethane molecules can control nucleation and growth of HgS crystals by binding on the surface of nanocrystals to stabilize nanoparticles. Quantum confinement effect of polyurethane-conjugated HgS nanocrystals was confirmed by UV-Vis spectra. The nanoparticles exhibit a well-defined emission feature at about 291 nm. The fluorescence results reveal that the PU/HgS nanoparticles film is sensitive to Ba2+, and a small amount of Ba2+ makes the emissions increase rapidly. The emission is hardly affected by other common ions in water. The nanocomposite film is possible to become a special sensor material for Ba2+.展开更多

Their structures were established by elemental analysis, IR, and ^1H NMR spectra. The bioassay tests showed that these title compounds exhibit moderate anticancer activity in vitro by MTT method and compounds 6c and 6d could inhibit ERK phosphorylation in NIH 3T3 cell induced by PDGF.展开更多
