The adsorption performance and micro-mechanism of MoS2/montmorillonite composite to atenolol and acebutolol: Adsorption experiments and a novel visual study of interaction.
Abstract MoS2/montmorillonite (MoS2/Mt) composite was successfully synthesized through a simple hydrothermal method, and its adsorption performance for two emerging contaminants-atenolol (ATE) and acebutolol (ACE) was researched. The batch experiments revealed that the adsorption process can be described by the Pseudo-second order model and Langmuir model, and the adsorption capacity of MoS2/Mt, MoS2 and Mt for ATE were 132.08 mg/g, 60.68 mg/g and 74.23 mg/g, for ACE were 113.82 mg/g, 33.01 mg/g and 36.05 mg/g, respectively. Besides, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), BET specific surfac...

β-blocker therapy for infantile haemangioma.
Authors: Koh SP, Leadbitter P, Smithers F, Tan ST Abstract INTRODUCTION: 15% of proliferating infantile haemangioma (IH) require intervention because of the threat to function or life, ulceration or tissue distortion. Propranolol is the mainstay treatment for problematic proliferating IH. Other β-blockers and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors have been explored as alternative treatments. AREAS COVERED: The demonstration of a haemogenic endothelium origin of IH with a neural crest phenotype and multi-lineage differentiation capacity, regulated by the renin-angiotensin system, underscor...

N-aryl amides as chemical exchange saturation transfer magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents.
Abstract Chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) MRI has recently emerged as a versatile molecular imaging approach in which diamagnetic compounds can be utilized to generate MRI signal. To expand the scope of CEST MRI applications, herein, we systematically investigated the CEST properties of N-aryl amides with different N-aromatic substitution, revealing their chemical shifts (4.6-5.8 ppm) and exchange rates (up to thousands s -1 ) are favorable to be used as CEST agents as compared to alkyl amide. As the first proof-of-concept study, we used CEST MRI to detect the enzymatic metabolism of the drug a...

Enantiospecific behaviour of chiral drugs in soil.
Abstract The importance of stereochemistry on the behaviour and effects of chiral pharmaceutical and illicit drugs in amended agricultural soils has been over looked to date. Therefore, this study was aimed at investigating the enantiospecific behaviour of a chemically diverse range of chiral drugs including naproxen, ibuprofen, salbutamol, bisoprolol, metoprolol, propranolol, acebutolol, atenolol, chlorpheniramine, amphetamine, fluoxetine and citalopram in soil microcosms. Considerable changes of the enantiomeric composition of ibuprofen, naproxen, atenolol, acebutolol and amphetamine were observed within...

Chiral separation of beta-blockers by high-performance liquid chromatography and determination of bisoprolol enantiomers in surface waters.
Abstract Beta-blockers are chiral compounds with enantiomers that have different bioactivity, which means that while one is active, the other can be inactive or even harmful. Due to their high consumption and incomplete degradation in waste water, they may reach surface waters and affect aquatic organisms. To address this issue we developed a chromatographic method suitable for determining beta-blocker enantiomers in surface waters. It was tested on five beta-blockers (acebutolol, atenolol, bisoprolol, labetalol and metoprolol) and validated on bisoprolol enantiomers. Good enantioseparation of all analysed...

Stereoselective cell uptake of adrenergic agonists and antagonists by organic cation transporters.
Abstract Stereoselectivity is well described for receptor binding and enzyme catalysis, but so far has only been scarcely investigated in carrier-mediated membrane transport. We thus studied transport kinetics of racemic (anti)adrenergic drugs by the organic cation transporters OCT1 (wild-type and allelic variants), OCT2, OCT3, MATE1, and MATE2-K with a focus on stereospecificity. OCT1 showed stereoselective uptake with up to 2-fold higher vmax over their corresponding counterpart enantiomers for (R,R)-fenoterol, (R,R)-formoterol, (S)-salbutamol, (S)-acebutolol, and (S)-atenolol. Orciprenaline and etilefri...

Molecules, Vol. 24, Pages 3664: Graphene Oxide/Polyethylene Glycol-Stick for Thin Film Microextraction of β-Blockers from Human Oral Fluid by Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry
Abdel-Rehim A wooden stick coated with a novel graphene-based nanocomposite (Graphene oxide/polyethylene glycol (GO/PEG)) is introduced and investigated for its efficacy in solid phase microextraction techniques. The GO/PEG-stick was prepared and subsequently applied for the extraction of β-blockers, acebutolol, and metoprolol in human oral fluid samples, which were subsequently detected by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Experimental parameters affecting the extraction protocol including sample pH, extraction time, desorption time, appropriate desorption solvent, and salt additi...
