Abstract
Constructing simple, stable, fast, and sensitive neurotransmitter-based sensors is a promising tool to diagnose neurological diseases. Dopamine (DA), "a catecholamine neurotransmitter" is important in transmitting nerve impulses. Therefore, great attention is taken to monitor DA concentrations received. The challenge in developing a DA-based sensor is to enhance its stability and sensitivity. Thus, we have used o-phthalaldehyde (OPA)/2-mercapto ethanol (2ME)/mesoporous silica instated of 2ME in solution. Here we have successfully developed a fluorescence DA neurotransmitters sensor. The sensor was used for detecting a wide range of concentrations of DA (5 nM to 5 µM). Effects of pH (4.3-11.4) and temperatures (25-70 °C) on the sensor efficiency were investigated. The detection limit was 1.35 × 10-11 mol/dm3, which is lower than the normal DA level in the central nervous system. The results indicated that using OPA/2ME/MSNPs has long-time stability over a year of its preparation. Moreover, the developed sensor showed high specificity towards DA in the presence of different interferences such as ascorbic acid or another catecholamine neurotransmitter such as γ-aminobutyric acid. Finally, the fabricated biosensor was used to monitor the DA neurotransmitter released from PC12 cells. Hence, it was successfully developed a simple and stable probe for accurate photoluminescence detection of DA neurotransmitters.

Abstract
Continuous measurement of the concentrations of ethanol and its metabolites, acetaldehyde and acetic acid, in vivo is important for the alcohol research community. Most studies only measure ethanol because accurate measurement of all three compounds is challenging. Measurement inside tissue/brain is done using a microdialysis technique, followed by off-line analysis using gas chromatography (GC). To realize simultaneous measurement of ethanol and its metabolites, one can take advantage of infrared (IR) spectroscopy as a rapid and reagent-free method. Here we report a feasibility study of using IR spectroscopy to simultaneously measure ethanol, acetaldehyde and acetic acid in aqueous solution. Different concentrations in transmission mode at different optical pathlengths and using attenuated total reflectance (ATR) were measured. In vitro microdialysis was performed on the mixture of the three compounds, and the collected sample was measured using IR to demonstrate the capability of quantifying the concentrations of the three analytes simultaneously. Lastly, to overcome the limitations of the microdialysis technique, direct measurement using evanescent-field IR spectroscopy can be a potential alternative. A hydrophobic polymer coating that adsorbs ethanol and excludes water, could improve sensitivity. Sorption kinetics in polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) coatings on an ATR crystal were measured. Both polymers demonstrate preferential adsorption of ethanol over water.

Abstract
Background:
Derivatization of analytes is a quite convenient practice from an analytical perspective. Its vast prevalence is accounted by the availability of distinct reagents, primarily pragmatic for obtaining desired modifications in an analyte structure. Another reason for its handiness is typically to overcome limitations such as lack of sensitive methodology or instrumentation.The past decades have witnessed various new derivatization techniques including in-situ, enzymatic, ultrasound-assisted, microwave-assisted, and photochemical derivatization which have gain popularity recently.
Methods:
The online literature available on the utilization of derivatization as prominent analytical tools in recent years with typical advancements is reviewed. The illustrations of the analytical condition together with the structures of different derivatizing reagents (DRs) are provided to acknowledge the vast capability of derivatization to resolve analytical problems.
Results:
The derivatization techniques have enabled analytical chemists throughout the globe to develop an enhanced sensitivity method with the simplest of the instrument like High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The HPLC, compared to more sensitive Liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometer, is readily available and can be readily utilized for routine analysis in fields of pharmaceuticals, bioanalysis, food safety, and environmental contamination. A troublesome aspect of these fields is the presence of a complex matrix with trace concentrations for analyses. Liquid chromatographic methods devoid of MS detectors do not have the desired sensitivity for this. A possible solution for overcoming this is to couple HPLC with derivatization to enable the possibility of detecting trace analytes with a less expensive instrument. Running cost, enhanced sensitivity, low time consumption, and overcoming the inherent problems of analyte are critical parameters for which HPLC is quite useful in high throughput analysis.
Conclusion:
The review critically highlights various kinds of derivatization applications in different fields of analytical chemistry. The information primarily focuses on pharmaceutical and bioanalytical applications in recent years. The various modes, types, and derivatizing reagents with brief mechanisms have been ascribed briefly Additionally, the importance of HPLC coupled to fluorescence and UV detection is presented as an overview through examples accompanied by their analytical conditions.

Abstract
Amino acids are key synthetic building blocks that can be prepared in an enantiopure form by biocatalytic methods. We show that the l-selective ornithine deacetylase ArgE catalyses hydrolysis of a wide-range of N-acyl-amino acid substrates. This activity was revealed by 1H NMR spectroscopy that monitored the appearance of the well resolved signal of the acetate product. Furthermore, the assay was used to probe the subtle structural selectivity of the biocatalyst using a substrate that could adopt different rotameric conformations.

Abstract
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that is strongly and selectively synthesized in and secreted from pancreatic beta cells. Exogenously delivered GABA has been proposed to induce beta cell regeneration in type 1 diabetes, but these results have been difficult to replicate and may depend on the specifics of the animal model and drug delivery method used. Here, we developed a GABA-releasing ethylene-vinyl acetate polymer implant for sustained GABA delivery to the intraperitoneal space as an alternative to injected or oral GABA. We explored the effect of the GABA-releasing polymer implants compared to implanted osmotic pumps loaded with GABA on islet size in non-diabetic, outbred mice. We also attempted to monitor in vivo GABA release using HPLC on blood samples, but these measurements were confounded by high variability within treatment groups and unexpectedly high serum GABA levels in mice receiving GABA-negative implants. The ethylene-vinyl acetate polymer implants became heavily fibrosed with abdominal adhesion tissue, while the osmotic pumps had no macroscopic fibrosis. Histological analysis showed no significant effect of the sustained GABA delivery polymer or osmotic pumps on islet size, alpha cell to beta cell ratio, or the number of Ki67-positive islet cells. The GABA treatment time course was limited to two weeks due to the drug-release window of the polymer, while others reported islet-trophic effects of GABA after 10 to 12 weeks of treatment. In summary, our study is consistent with the concept that exogenous GABA administration does not significantly alter islet cell mass in non-diabetic CD-1 mice in the short-term. However, more data are needed including higher GABA doses and more prolonged treatment regimens for a better comparison with contrasting reports.

Reduced Activation of the Synaptic-Type GABA A Receptor Following Prolonged Exposure to Low Concentrations of Agonists: Relationship between Tonic Activity and Desensitization. Mol Pharmacol 2020; 98:762-769. [PMID: 32978327 DOI: 10.1124/molpharm.120.000088] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2020] [Accepted: 09/09/2020] [Indexed: 01/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Synaptic GABAA receptors are alternately exposed to short pulses of a high, millimolar concentration of GABA and prolonged periods of low, micromolar concentration of the transmitter. Prior work has indicated that exposure to micromolar concentrations of GABA can both activate the postsynaptic receptors generating sustained low-amplitude current and desensitize the receptors, thereby reducing the peak amplitude of subsequent synaptic response. However, the precise relationship between tonic activation and reduction of peak response is not known. Here, we have measured the effect of prolonged exposure to GABA or the combination of GABA and the neurosteroid allopregnanolone, which was intended to desensitize a fraction of receptors, on a subsequent response to a high concentration of agonist in human α1β3γ2L receptors expressed in Xenopus oocytes. We show that the reduction in the peak amplitude of the post-exposure test response correlates with the open probability of the preceding desensitizing response. Curve fitting of the inhibitory relationship yielded an IC50 of 12.5 µM and a Hill coefficient of -1.61. The activation and desensitization data were mechanistically analyzed in the framework of a three-state Resting-Active-Desensitized model. Using the estimated affinity, efficacy, and desensitization parameters, we calculated the amount of desensitization that would accumulate during a long (2-minute) application of GABA or GABA plus allopregnanolone. The results indicate that accumulation of desensitization depends on the level of activity rather than agonist or potentiator concentration per se. We estimate that in the presence of 1 µM GABA, approximately 5% of α1β3γ2L receptors are functionally eliminated because of desensitization. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: We present an analytical approach to quantify and predict the loss of activatable GABAA receptors due to desensitization in the presence of transmitter and the steroid allopregnanolone. The findings indicate that the peak amplitude of the synaptic response is influenced by ambient GABA and that changes in ambient concentrations of the transmitter and other GABAergic agents can modify tonically and phasically activated synaptic receptors in opposite directions.

Abstract
The Amino acid Derivative Reactivity Assay (ADRA) is an in chemico alternative to animal testing for the prediction of skin sensitization potential. Although co-elution of test chemicals and nucleophilic reagents during HPLC analysis is sometimes problematic when using the Direct Peptide Reactivity Assay (DPRA), it rarely occurs when using ADRA. Nevertheless, the application of either of these tests to multi-constituent substances requires nucleophilic reagents capable of selective detection. With this issue in mind, the authors developed an ADRA fluorescence detection method (ADRA-FL), which utilizes the natural fluorescence of ADRA nucleophilic reagents. In this study, we demonstrate the efficacy of ADRA-FL by testing 82 test chemicals used in the development of both DPRA and the conventional ADRA (ADRA-UV) as well as establish a threshold value for distinguishing sensitizers and non-sensitizers. Our results show that not only are depletion values obtained using ADRA-FL virtually identical to those obtained using ADRA-UV, the threshold value for either test is 4.9%. Additionally, in order to demonstrate the applicability of ADRA-FL to multi-constituent substances, we prepared test samples that consisted of a set of 10 non-sensitizers combined with one of 10 different sensitizers and tested each using ADRA-FL. The test results were concordant with those obtained using ADRA-UV. Also, because ADRA-FL chromatograms showed a significant decrease in multiple peaks as well as extremely stable baselines, we conclude that ADRA-FL is a highly selective and highly accurate mans of quantifying nucleophilic reagents that is applicable to a wide variety of chemical substances.

Abstract
Activation of GABAA receptors consisting of α4, β2 (or β3), and δ subunits is a major contributor to tonic inhibition in several brain regions. The goal of this study was to analyze the function of the α4β2δ receptor in the presence of GABA and other endogenous and clinical activators and modulators under steady-state conditions. We show that the receptor has a high constitutive open probability (~0.1), but is only weakly activated by GABA that has a maximal peak open probability (POpen,peak) of 0.4, taurine (maximal POpen,peak = 0.4), or the endogenous steroid allopregnanolone (maximal POpen,peak = 0.2). The intravenous anesthetic propofol is a full agonist (maximal POpen,peak = 0.99). Analysis of currents using a cyclic three-state Resting-Active-Desensitized model indicates that the maximal steady-state open probability of the α4β2δ receptor is ~0.45. Steady-state open probability in the presence of combinations of GABA, taurine, propofol, allopregnanolone and/or the inhibitory steroid pregnenolone sulfate closely matched predicted open probability calculated assuming energetic additivity. The results suggest that the receptor is active in the presence of physiological concentrations of GABA and taurine, but, surprisingly, that receptor activity is only weakly potentiated by propofol.

Abstract
Pancreatic beta cells synthesize and secrete the neurotransmitter γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) as a paracrine and autocrine signal to help regulate hormone secretion and islet homeostasis. Islet GABA release has classically been described as a secretory vesicle-mediated event. Yet, a limitation of the hypothesized vesicular GABA release from islets is the lack of expression of a vesicular GABA transporter in beta cells. Consequentially, GABA accumulates in the cytosol. Here we provide evidence that the human beta cell effluxes GABA from a cytosolic pool in a pulsatile manner, imposing a synchronizing rhythm on pulsatile insulin secretion. The volume regulatory anion channel (VRAC), functionally encoded by LRRC8A or Swell1, is critical for pulsatile GABA secretion. GABA content in beta cells is depleted and secretion is disrupted in islets from type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients, suggesting that loss of GABA as a synchronizing signal for hormone output may correlate with diabetes pathogenesis.

Abstract
4-Methoxy-ortho-phthalaldehyde and 4-hydroxy-ortho-phthalaldehyde are potentially useful molecules for fluorimetric analysis of a variety of amines and for the elaboration of complex molecular architectures. Nevertheless, literature generally describes their synthesis in very low yield (below 5%), mainly due to the inefficiency of the last oxidation step. In this paper, we report a reliable synthesis of 4-substituted-ortho-phthalaldehyde analogues in 51% overall yield owing to the addition of a protecting step of the unstable key intermediate 4,5-dihydroisobenzofuran-5-ol. Oxidation and deprotection steps were also studied in order to provide an effective availability of these two dialdehyde compounds that may increase their future applications.

Abstract
A method for monitoring l-asparagine (ASN) depletion in patients' serum using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with precolumn o-phthalaldehyde and ethanethiol (ET) derivatization is described. In order to improve the signal and stability of analytes, several important factors including precipitant reagent, derivatization conditions and detection wavelengths were optimized. The recovery of the analytes in biological matrix was the highest when 4% sulfosalicylic acid (1:1, v/v) was used as a precipitant reagent. Optimal fluorescence detection parameters were determined as λex = 340 nm and λem = 444 nm for maximal signal. The signal of analytes was the highest when the reagent ET and borate buffer of pH 9.9 were used in the derivatization solution. And the corresponding derivative products were stable up to 19 h. The validated method had been successfully applied to monitor ASN depletion and l-aspartic acid, l-glutamine, l-glutamic acid levels in pediatric patients during l-asparaginase therapy.
