Abstract

Dextran surface grafting density was systematically varied via a two-step process involving SiO(2) amination by aminopropyltriethoxy silane (APTES) followed by oxidized dextran (M(w) = 110 kDa) chemisorption. Dextran oxidation kinetics with sodium metaperiodate (NaIO(4)) were quantified by (1)H NMR and pH measurements. Aldehyde group formation increased with increasing oxidation time. For 0.5 h oxidation time, dried film ellipsometric thickness was constant for solution concentrations ranging from 1 to 4 mg/mL. Dextran layers with the lowest grafting density wetted fastest and displayed the lowest contact angle (theta(APTES) > theta(1 h) > theta(2,4 h) > theta(0.5 h)). Under aqueous conditions, AFM force versus displacement measurements on 0.5 and 4.0 h surfaces exhibited a single displacement jump upon retraction. The 1.0 and 2.0 h surfaces showed two jumps consistent with two populations of chains, namely, loosely and strongly bound dextran. Overall, film morphology and wetting behavior were relatively invariant with grafting density, confirming the method's robustness for preparing biomimetic coatings with consistent properties.

One-pot asymmetric synthesis of either diastereomer of tert-butanesulfinyl-protected amines from ketones.

A one-pot method for the asymmetric synthesis of tert-butanesulfinyl-protected amines is described. Condensation of aryl alkyl and dialkyl ketones with tert-butanesulfinamide followed by in situ reduction with the appropriate reagent provides either diastereomer of the sulfinamide products in good yields and with diastereomeric ratios of up to 99:1.

Directed reductive amination of beta-hydroxy-ketones: convergent assembly of the ritonavir/lopinavir core.

An efficient procedure for the directed reductive amination of beta-hydroxy-ketones (3) for the stereoselective preparation of 1,3-syn-amino alcohols (6) is reported. The operationally simple protocol uses Ti(iOPr)4 for coordination of the intermediate imino alcohol (5) and PMHS as the reducing agent. The method was expanded to an asymmetric aldol reductive amination sequence to allow a highly convergent synthesis of the hydroxy-amine core of the HIV-protease inhibitors ritonavir and lopinavir.

Effect of silica nanoparticles with different sizes on the catalytic activity of glucose oxidase.

In this work we present a strategy for the covalent immobilization of periodate oxidized glucose oxidase (IO(4)(-) - GOx) to aminated silica nanoparticles (ASNPs) modified on gold electrodes. Silica nanoparticles greatly enhanced the catalytic ability of GOx toward the oxidation of glucose and improved the electron transfer between the GOx and the electrode surface. ASNPs of varying size--that is 100, 80, 60, and 30 nm--were prepared, and they were used to fabricate biosensors. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) of ferrocyanide followed the assembly process and verified the successful immobilization of IO(4)(-) - GOx on ASNPs modified on gold electrodes. From the analysis of catalytic signals of biosensors using different sizes of ASNPs under the same conditions, the surface concentration of electrically wired enzyme (Gamma (ET)) was estimated and was found to increase with decreasing ASNPs size. Therefore, the sensitivity of biosensors using smaller ASNPs was higher than that using larger particles. Specifically, we utilized the ASNPs with optimal size (30 nm) to fabricate the glucose biosensor. The resulting electrodes showed a wide linear response to glucose at least to 6 mM and reached 95% of the steady-state current in less than 4 s with a sensitivity of 5.02 microA mM(-1) cm(-2) and a detection limit of 0.01 mM. The biosensor also showed excellent stability and good reproducibility.
