  • Development of prediction model for cloud point of thermo-responsive polymers by experiment-oriented materials informatics

    Hayakawa M., Sakano K., Kumada R., Tobita H., Igarashi Y., Citterio D., Oaki Y., Hiruta Y.

    Polymer Chemistry （Polymer Chemistry)  14 （ 19 ） 2383 - 2389 2023.04

    ISSN  17599954

    　View Summary

    Thermo-responsive polymers having a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) have attracted attention for biological applications such as drug delivery, diagnosis, and coating materials. In recent years, research on predicting LCST by utilizing machine learning has been conducted. However, since these methods targeted only copolymers combining specific monomer structures, they are not versatile, and multiple trials are still required to obtain new thermo-responsive polymers with the desired LCST. In this study, a prediction model for cloud point temperature (TCP) was built by a combination of materials informatics and chemical insight, named sparse modeling for small data (SpM-S) using a small dataset of polymers collected from the literature as training data. This approach created a model that is interpretable, easy to calculate, and versatile. The prediction accuracy was validated using data from different literature sources and experimental test data. The model was able to predict the TCP of polymers containing monomers not included in the dataset as well as polymers containing monomers included in the dataset. The predictive model has the potential to guide the design of new thermo-responsive polymers, and to contribute to efficient development of thermo-responsive polymers.

  • Evaluation of separation performance for eggshell-based reversed-phase HPLC columns by controlling particle size and application in quantitative therapeutic drug monitoring

    Yoshii T., Nakano K., Okuda T., Citterio D., Hiruta Y.

    　View Summary

    Eggshell-based reversed-phase packing materials were applied to an analytical column for high-performance liquid chromatography. Commercially available eggshell powder was classified by a cyclone system to obtain three types of particles with different diameters (arithmetic mean ± standard deviation: 4.3 ± 3.8, 5.6 ± 3.3, and 9.5 ± 5.5 μm). Sedimentation separation removed tiny particles from each sample, resulting in particles with arithmetic means of 6.6 ± 5.5, 7.3 ± 4.5, and 10.2 ± 5.0 μm, respectively. The unclassified particles and three particle types treated with sedimentation separation were subsequently packed into analytical columns (150 mm × 4.6 mm I.D.), and their separation efficiencies were evaluated by comparing their height equivalent to a theoretical plate (HETP). The column without sedimentation separation exhibited the highest HETP, whereas the columns with sedimentation separation showed better separation efficiency and lower back pressure. The column with the best separation efficiency was applied for the separation of 10 alkylbenzenes and 5 steroids, and all peaks were observed with complete separation (peak resolution: RS > 1.5). Finally, the column was used for quantitative analysis of voriconazole, an azole antifungal agent, and imatinib, a first-generation molecularly targeted drug for cancer treatment, in spiked whole blood. Excellent accuracy (99.1-102.8%) and precision (0.6-1.9%) were observed for the spiked drugs and long-term stability (>3000 column volumes of mobile phase flow) indicated good applicability of the developed eggshell-based column as an analytical column for routine analyses of therapeutic drugs in blood.

  • Evaluation of cellophane as platform for colorimetric assays on microfluidic analytical devices

    　View Summary

    Due to their low cost, simplicity, and pump-free liquid transport properties, colorimetric assays on paper spots and microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (µPADs) are regarded as useful tools for point-of-care testing (POCT). However, for certain types of colorimetric assays, the “non-transparent” and “white” characters of paper can be a disadvantage. In this work, the possibilities of using cellophane as an alternative platform for colorimetric assays have been investigated. Cellophane is a low cost and easy-to-handle transparent film made of regenerated cellulose. Owing to its hydrophilic character, cellophane-based microfluidic channels fabricated through a print–cut–laminate approach enabled pump-free liquid transport into multiple detection areas, similar to µPADs. In addition, the water absorption characteristics of cellophane allowed the stable immobilization of water-soluble colorimetric indicators without any surface modification or additional reagents. The transparency of cellophane provides possibilities for simple background coloring of the substrates, increasing the dynamic signal range for hue-based colorimetric assays, as demonstrated for two model assays targeting H2O2 (46-fold increase) and creatinine (3.6-fold increase). Finally, a turbidity detection-based protein assay was realized on black background cellophane spots. The lowest limits of detection achieved with the cellophane-based devices were calculated as 7 µM for H2O2, 2.7 mg dL−1 for creatinine, and 3.5 mg dL−1 for protein (human serum albumin).

  • Fabrication process development and basic evaluation of eggshell-based column packing material for reversed-phase preparative separation

    Yoshii T., Sakama A., Kanamori K., Nakanishi K., Imai H., Citterio D., Hiruta Y.

    　View Summary

    Purification of basic drugs in reversed-phase mode is often difficult, mainly due to adsorption of positively charged compounds to the silica gel-based stationary phase. Since this adsorption can be suppressed under alkaline condition, columns with alkali-resistance are required. In addition, compounds with acid-sensitive structures are sometimes degraded during separation on silica gel-based columns which exhibit acidity due to their surface structure. We prepared an alkali-resistant reversed-phase packing material, Eggshell-PMAcO based on eggshells modified with an amphiphilic copolymer, poly(maleic acid-alt-1-octadecene) (PMAcO). The height equivalent to a theoretical plate (HETP) of the Eggshell-PMAcO column was improved by surface treatment with ammonium acetate buffer (900 mM, pH = 3.7), which is an inexpensive reagent, and the retention behavior for hydrophobic compounds was compared to a typical ODS column based on silica gel, resulting in sufficient selectivity of the eggshell-based column for hydrophobic compounds, as indicated by the ratio of retention factors of pentylbenzene and butylbenzene (Eggshell-PMAcO column: 1.55, ODS column: 1.65). Column temperature-dependent retention behavior of naphthalene was investigated in the temperature range from 25 °C to 45 °C, followed by the calculation of thermodynamic parameters. There was little difference in the standard molar enthalpy (Eggshell-PMAcO: −19.6 kJ/mol, ODS: −21.7 kJ/mol). The absolute value of the standard free Gibbs energy for the Eggshell-PMAcO column was much smaller than that of the ODS column (Eggshell-PMAcO: −0.284 kJ/mol, ODS: −13.0 kJ/mol), indicating that the Eggshell-PMAcO column had a weaker retention strength for naphthalene than the ODS column mainly due to the large difference in the standard molar entropy (Eggshell-PMAcO: −64.9 J/mol K, ODS column: −29.2 J/mol K). The retention capacities for imipramine under neutral (water/methanol) and alkaline (0.1% triethylamine water/methanol) conditions were 0.2 mg and 5 mg, respectively, based on injection mass-dependent HETP, retention factor and symmetry factor. Finally, the prepared column was applied to the purification of a building block for nucleic acid drugs. This study demonstrated that reversed-phase columns, which can be fabricated from eggshells and an amphiphilic copolymer in an inexpensive and eco-friendly way, have the ability to purify basic compounds and acid-sensitive compounds.

  • Semi-quantitative microfluidic paper-based analytical device for ionic silica detection

    　View Summary

    Silicate ions (SiO32−), or ionic silica, are known to cause silica scaling in industrial water applications when excess amounts are present; hence, concentrations must be monitored and kept at a constant low level. Ionic silica is conventionally measured by spectrophotometry in the form of its silicomolybdic complex based on the molybdenum blue reaction, but the operation process is complicated and not suitable for on-site detection. To solve these issues, microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (µPADs) have been gaining attention as portable, low-cost analytical devices suitable for on-site detection. The foldable origami type device described in this work enabled silica detection based on the molybdenum blue reaction, in the range of 50–1000 mg/L, with a practically detectable lowest concentration of 50 mg/L. The device showed selectivity for silicate ions and stability over 21 days when stored at 4 °C. The semi-quantitative analytical performance makes the proposed paper-based device attractive for on-site industrial monitoring. Graphical abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.].
