ABSTRACT

Associating MnO2 with carbonaceous supports profoundly enhances capacitive deionization (CDI) efficiency. A fundamental question of how the surface chemistry of MnO2 itself influences CDI efficiency is not yet fully understood. In this study, the effect of surface ionization on the CDI efficiencies of Fe-, Co-, and Ni-doped α-MnO2 (<0.1 mol %) as a model cathode material was studied. A pattern that CDI efficiency decreased with increasing negative surface charge density resulting from surface deprotonation was noted. This is likely attributed to the appreciable co-ion expulsion occurring at a highly ionized surface in the mesopores of MnO2. It is thus concluded that the combination of surface charge modification and a microporous environment would be important for CDI efficiency enhancement by minimizing co-ion exclusion effect. In the former case, structural stress adjustment by doping elements would be a practical route to regulate the p Ka1 and p Ka2 values and consequently the degree of surface ionization of MnO2.

ABSTRACT

A specific, sensitive and high throughput ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometric method (UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS) was established and validated to assay geniposide (GE), a promising anti-inflammatory drug, in adjuvant arthritis rat plasma: application to pharmacokinetic and oral bioavailability studies and plasma protein binding ability. Plasma samples were processed by de-proteinised with ice-cold methanol and separated on an ACQUITY UPLC™ HSS C18 column (100 mm × 2.1mm i.d., 1.8 µm particle size) at a gradient flow rate of 0.2 mL/min using acetonitrile-0.1% formic acid in water as mobile phase, and the total run time was 9 min. Mass detection was performed in selected reaction monitoring (SRM) mode with negative electro-spray ionization includes the addition of paeoniflorin (Pae) as an internal standard (IS). The mass transition ion-pair was followed as m/z 387.4 → 122.4 for GE and m/z 479.4 → 449.0 for IS. The calibration curves were linear over the concentration range of 2-50,000 ng/mL with lower limit of quantification of 2 ng/mL. The intra-day and inter-day precisions (RSD, %) of the assay were less than 8.4%, and the accuracy was within ± 6.4% in terms of relative error (RE). Extraction recovery, matrix effect and stability were satisfactory in adjuvant arthritis rat plasma. The UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study of GE after oral administration of depurated GE at 33, 66, 132 mg/kg and intravenous injection at 33, 66, 132 mg/kg in adjuvant arthritis (AA) rats. In addition, it was found that GE has rapid absorption and elimination, low absolute bioavailability, high plasma protein binding ability in AA rats after oral administration within the tested dosage range. It suggested that GE showed slow distribution into the intra- and extracellular space, and the binding rate was not proportionally dependent on plasma concentration of GE when the concentration of GE was below 5.0 µg/mL.
