The method is based on a generic solid-phase extraction procedure, using three sorbent phases in two cartridges that are connected in series, hence covering a wide range of polarities, followed by liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry. The acquisition was performed in the full-scan and data-dependent modes while working under positive and negative ionisation conditions. This method was applied in order to assess the natural toxins in the Ter River water reservoirs, which are used to produce drinking water for Barcelona city (Spain). The study was carried out during a period of seven months, covering the expected prior, during, and post-peak blooming periods of the natural toxins. Fifty-three (53) compounds were tentatively identified, and nine of these were confirmed and quantified. Phytotoxins were identified as the most frequent group of natural toxins in the water, particularly the alkaloids group.

Forty-nine compounds from the library demonstrated light-induced 7-oxycoumarins lethality. None was toxic in the absence of UVA light. Structure-activity correlations indicate that the ability of Furocoumarins the compounds to inhibit cell growth was dependent not only on their physiochemical characteristics, but also Psoralens on their ability to absorb UVA light. Relative lipophilicity was an important factor as was electron density in the Methoxsalen pyrone ring. Coumarins with electron withdrawing moieties – cyano and fluoro at C – were considerably less 8-MOP 3 Phototoxicity active while those with bromines or iodine at that location displayed enhanced activity. Coumarins that were PAM212 keratinocytes found to inhibit keratinocyte growth were also tested for photo-induced DNA plasmid nicking.

  • Polarized Stimulated Emission Depletion Studies of Two-Photon Excited States
    Polarised Stimulated Emission Depletion Studies of Two-Photon Excited States D. A. Armoogum, R. J. Marsh and A. J. Bain+ Department of Physics & Astronomy, University College London, Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT, UK ABSTRACT Stimulated emission depletion (STED) population and polarisation dynamics following two-photon excitation are investigated for rhodamine 6G in ethylene glycol. Time resolved fluorescence intensity and polarisation measurements were made using picosecond time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC). Cross-sections for the stimulated transition were measured between 614nm (2.32×10-16 cm2) and 663.5nm (6.05×10 –17 cm2), ground state vibrational lifetimes were found to vary between 314fs and 467fs. A collinear (180°) excitation-detection geometry was employed to investigate re-polarisation of the excited state array yielding fluorescence anisotropies above the two-photon limit. The circumvention of single-photon selection rules is demonstrated allowing the measurement of higher order parameters and correlation functions that are wholly inaccessible to ‘conventional’ (spontaneous) time resolved fluorescence techniques. Key words: Stimulated emission depletion, vibrational relaxation, two-photon, polarisation, selection rules. 1. INTRODUCTION Stimulated emission depletion (STED) of excited states has proved to be both a valuable tool in high resolution molecular spectroscopy1, in time resolved spectroscopy as a means of orientational photoselection2 and in the study of ultrafast vibrational relaxation within electronic ground states3. There has been considerable interest in the use of single- photon STED in fluorescence microscopy4 where sub-wavelength image resolution has been recently demonstrated5. Recent work in our laboratory6,7 has demonstrated the feasibility of performing STED in two-photon excited states. In this work femtosecond two-photon 800nm excitation (PUMP) of the widely used fluorescent probe fluorescein was followed by picosecond stimulated emission depletion (DUMP) of the excited state at 580nm.

  • Time-Resolved Spectra of Coumarin 30-Rhodamine 6G Dye Mixture
    Pram~n.a - J. Phys., Vol. 34, No. 1, January 1990, pp. 77-83. © Printed in India. Time-resolved spectra of coumarin 30-rhodamine 6G dye mixture R D SINGH, D MOHAN, A K SHARMA and N V UNNIKRISHNAN* Department of Physics, Maharshi Dayanand University, Rohtak 124001, India *Department of Material Science, Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam 686 562, India MS received 9 March 1989; revised 30 September 1989 Abstract. The effect of acceptor concentration on the energy transfer from Coumarin 30 (donor) to Rhodamine 6G (acceptor) has been studied. The nature of energy transfer reaction has been studied through lifetime measurements by recording the time-resolved fluorescence decay curves. The energy transfer parameters calculated were used to confirm the occurrence of energy transfer on the basis of the emission-reabsorption effect. Keywords. Time-resolved spectra; energy transfer; fluorescence; Coumarin-Rhodamine mixture. PACS No. 42"55 1. Introduction Excitation transfer in laser dye mixtures has earlier been used to achieve better dye laser performance at the desired wavelengths (Morey 1972; Drake et al 1972; Cox and Matise 1980; Berlman et al 1973). The mechanism responsible for the intermolecular singlet-singlet electronic energy transfer in dye mixture can be directly determined by lifetime measurements. The studies so far reported in this field have been based on the indirect method of optical gain studies. We have studied the energy transfer mechanism in coumarin 30-rhodamine 6G (C 30-Rh 6G) dye mixture in ethanol by using a laser fluorimeter developed in the laboratory. The dependence of lifetime on dye concentration of the two dye molecules C 30 and Rh 6G in alcoholic solutions of methanol and ethanol, and ethylene glycol has also been studied.

  • Biosynthesis of Daphnetin in Daphne Mezereum L.*
    Biosynthesis of Daphnetin in Daphne mezereum L.* Stewart A. Brown Department of Chemistry, Trent University, Peterborough, Ont., Canada K9J 7B8 Z. Naturforsch. 41c, 247—252 (1986); received November 4, 1985 Biosynthesis, Coumarins, Daphne mezereum, Daphnetin Shoots of Daphne mezereum synthesized daphnetin (7,8-dihydroxycoumarin) more efficiently from [2-l4C]umbelliferone (7-hydroxycoumarin) than from [2-l4C]p-coumaric acid, and [2-14C]caf- feic acid was more poorly utilized still. These findings do not support the idea of derivation of daphnetin via hydroxylation of the caffeic acid ring at the 2 position, followed by lactone ring formation; instead they are consistent with the concept of daphnetin formation by an additional hydroxylation of umbelliferone at C-8. Umbelliferone was recovered with little l4C dilution from emulsin-hydrolysed extracts of shoots fed labelled umbelliferone, and TLC of extracts from un­ treated shoots revealed two substances yielding umbelliferone on hydrolysis. Evidence is pre­ sented from TLC and HPLC analysis that one of these is skimmin (7-O-ß-D-glucosylumbel- liferone), not previously reported from Daphne. The tracer experiments further support the theory that umbelliferone is the general precursor of coumarins bearing two or more hydroxyl functions on the aromatic ring. Introduction (Thymelaeaceae), a hardy perennial shrub, where it Approximately 70 coumarins with the 7,8 oxygen­ occurs together with its 7-ß-D-glucoside, daphnin ation pattern' have been reported to be naturally (6b) and daphnetin glucoside (6c), the 8-O-ß-D- occurring [1], over half being furanocoumarins de­ g lu c o s y la te d is o m e r [1].

  • Natural Coumarins: QSRT Approaches Regarding Their Genotoxicity
    Natural coumarins: QSRT approaches regarding their genotoxicity Estela Guardado Yordi,1,2* Maria João Matos,2 Lourdes Santana,2 Eugenio Uriarte2, Orlando Abreu1 and Enrique Molina Pérez2,3 1 Universidad de Camagüey “Ignacio Agramonte Loynaz”, Facultad de Química, Departamento de Ciencia y Tecnología de los alimentos, Camagüey – Cuba; [email protected] [email protected] 2 Universidad de Santiago de Compostela, Facultad de Farmacia, Departamento de Química Orgánica, Santiago de Compostela – España; [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] 3 Universidad de Camagüey “Ignacio Agramonte Loynaz”, Facultad de Química, Departamento de Química, Camagüey – Cuba; [email protected] Abstract Coumarins are a group of phytochemicals with multiple applications in different fields, such as food and medicine. Many of their benefits are based on the different activities that they display, within which stand antioxidant properties. However, some conflicting evidences suggest the need to clarify or estimate the safety aspects and genotoxicity of this group of compounds. In this sense it has been shown in previous studies that some of them have presented pro-oxidant activity in vitro and clastogenic activity in silico. Therefore, in this paper chemical structures of natural coumarins that come from various natural sources were studied. This database became topological-structural information, using molecular descriptors from the TOPSMODE approach. A virtual screening was also held that used a model of structure-clastogenic activity relationship, and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) technique. The main results were interpreted in terms of safety. Introduction Nutrition, which was once intended to meet the nutrient needs, it is today directed to a research toward preventing and treating chronic diseases.
