de Sousa DVM, Orlando RM, Pereira FV. Layer-by-layer assembly of PDDA/MWCNTs thin films as an efficient strategy for extraction of organic compounds from complex samples. J Chromatogr A 2024; 1717:464705. [PMID: 38310702 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2024.464705] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2023] [Revised: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 01/30/2024] [Indexed: 02/06/2024]
Abstract
This article presents the assembly and characterization of poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride)/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (PDDA/MWCNTs) thin films on borosilicate bottles using a layer-by-layer (LBL) approach. The thin films, consisting of 10 bilayers of coating materials, were thoroughly characterized using UV-VIS spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and zeta potential measurements. The modified bottles were then utilized for the extraction of analytes with diverse acid-base characteristics, including drugs, illicit drugs, and pesticides, from saliva, urine, and surface water samples. The studied analytes can be adsorbed on the surface of the LBL film mainly through hydrogen bonding and/or hydrophobic interactions. Remarkably high extraction percentages of up to 92 % were achieved, accompanied by an impressive enhancement in the analytical signal of up to 12 times when the sample volume was increased from 0.7 to 10 mL. These results highlight the outstanding extraction and sorption capabilities of the developed material. Additionally, the (PDDA/MWCNTs)10 films exhibited notable resistance to extraction and desorption processes, enabling their reuse for at least 5 cycles. The straightforward and cost-effective fabrication of these sorbent materials using the LBL technique, combined with the ability to extract target compounds during sample transportation and/or storage, renders this sample preparation method a promising alternative.

Real-time monitoring of Metridia luciferase release from cells upon interaction with model toxic substances by a fully automatic flow setup - A proof of concept. Talanta 2022; 245:123465.

Abstract
This manuscript reports on a fully automatic sequential injection system incorporating a 3D printed module for real-time monitoring of the release of Metridia luciferase from a modified liver epithelial cell line. To this end, a simple and effective approach for the automation of flash-type chemiluminescence assays was developed. The 3D printed module comprised an apical and a basal compartment that enabled monitoring membrane processes on both sides of the cell monolayer aimed at elucidating the direction of luciferase release. A natural release was observed after transfection with the luciferase plasmid by online measurement of the elicited light from the reaction of the synthesized luciferase with the coelenterazine substrate. Model substances for acute toxicity from the group of cholic acids - chenodeoxycholic and deoxycholic acids - were applied at the 1.0 and 0.5 mmol L-1 levels. The tested cholic acids caused changes in cell membrane permeability that was accompanied by an increased luciferase release. The obtained kinetic profiles were evaluated based on the delay between the addition of the toxic substance and the increase of the chemiluminescence signal. All experiments were carried out in a fully automatic system in ca. 5 min per sample in 30 min intervals and no manual interventions were needed for a sampling period of at least 6 h.

Abstract
In this article, the scientific literature on electromembrane extraction (EME) of polar substances (log P < 2) is reviewed. EME is an extraction technique based on electrokinetic migration of analyte ions from an aqueous sample, across an organic supported liquid membrane (SLM), and into an aqueous acceptor solution. Because extraction is based on voltage-assisted partitioning, EME is fundamentally suitable for extraction of polar and ionizable substances that are challenging in many other extraction techniques. The article provides an exhaustive overview of papers on EME of polar substances. From this, different strategies to improve the mass transfer of polar substances are reviewed and critically discussed. These strategies include different SLM chemistries, modification of supporting membranes, sorbent additives, aqueous solution chemistry, and voltage/current related strategies. Finally, the future applicability of EME for polar substances is discussed. We expect EME in the coming years to be developed towards both very selective targeted analysis, as well as untargeted analysis of polar substances in biomedical applications such as metabolomics and peptidomics.

Towards a comprehensive characterisation of the human internal chemical exposome: Challenges and perspectives. ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 2021; 156:106630. [PMID: 34004450 DOI: 10.1016/j.envint.2021.106630] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2021] [Revised: 04/15/2021] [Accepted: 05/03/2021] [Indexed: 05/18/2023]
Abstract
The holistic characterisation of the human internal chemical exposome using high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) would be a step forward to investigate the environmental ætiology of chronic diseases with an unprecedented precision. HRMS-based methods are currently operational to reproducibly profile thousands of endogenous metabolites as well as externally-derived chemicals and their biotransformation products in a large number of biological samples from human cohorts. These approaches provide a solid ground for the discovery of unrecognised biomarkers of exposure and metabolic effects associated with many chronic diseases. Nevertheless, some limitations remain and have to be overcome so that chemical exposomics can provide unbiased detection of chemical exposures affecting disease susceptibility in epidemiological studies. Some of these limitations include (i) the lack of versatility of analytical techniques to capture the wide diversity of chemicals; (ii) the lack of analytical sensitivity that prevents the detection of exogenous (and endogenous) chemicals occurring at (ultra) trace levels from restricted sample amounts, and (iii) the lack of automation of the annotation/identification process. In this article, we discuss a number of technological and methodological limitations hindering applications of HRMS-based methods and propose initial steps to push towards a more comprehensive characterisation of the internal chemical exposome. We also discuss other challenges including the need for harmonisation and the difficulty inherent in assessing the dynamic nature of the internal chemical exposome, as well as the need for establishing a strong international collaboration, high level networking, and sustainable research infrastructure. A great amount of research, technological development and innovative bio-informatics tools are still needed to profile and characterise the "invisible" (not profiled), "hidden" (not detected) and "dark" (not annotated) components of the internal chemical exposome and concerted efforts across numerous research fields are paramount.
