We studied the effect of the nature of the terminal group of thiols with the same chain length HS (CH2)8 – R (R: -CH3, -CH2OH, -NH2) on the electrodesorption behaviour of well-formed SAMs (the self-assembled monolayers), their stability and blocking ability using voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The nature of the terminal functional group determines the surface properties of SAM and provides the basis for subsequent interactions (for example, with peptides, proteins, DNA) in order to create sensors and bioagents. For the studied thiols, the hydrophilicity of the end groups increases in the series -CH3<< -NH2 ≤ -CH2OH; they also differ in polarity and the possibility of protonation of the amino group. For thiols with -CH3 and -CH2OH groups, an increase in the hydrophilicity of the terminal group leads to the formation of less stable and less ordered films. The replacement of carbon by nitrogen with approximately the same hydrophilicity of the groups (-CH2OH and -NH2) leads to the formation of a more stable film consisting of molecules in the same energy state, butwith poorer insulatingproperties.

AbstractTherapeutic drug monitoring is a key technology for effective pharmacological treatment. In the present study, a temperature-responsive chromatography column was developed for safe and simple therapeutic drug monitoring without the use of organic solvents. Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) hydrogel-modified silica beads were prepared via a condensation reaction and radical polymerization. The temperature-dependent elution behavior of the drugs was observed using a PNIPAAm-modified silica-bead packed column and an all-aqueous mobile phase. Sharp peaks with reproducible retention times were observed at temperatures of 30 °C or 40 °C because the PNIPAAm hydrogel on the silica beads shrinks at these temperatures, limiting drug diffusion into the PNIPAAm hydrogel layer. The elution behavior of the sample from the prepared column was examined using a mixture of serum and model drugs. The serum and drugs were separated on the column at 30 °C or 40 °C, and the concentration of the eluted drug was obtained using the calibration curve. The results show that the prepared chromatography column would be useful for therapeutic drug monitoring because the drug concentration in serum can be measured without using organic solvents in the mobile phase and without any need for sample preparation.

AbstractTemperature-responsive chromatography using thermoresponsive polymers is innovative and can control analyte retention via column temperature. Analyte elution behavior in this type of chromatography depends on the modified thermoresponsive polymer and the structure of the base materials. In the present study, we examine the effect of the pore diameter of silica beads on analyte elution behavior in temperature-responsive chromatography. Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-n-butyl methacrylate) hydrogel was applied to beads of various pore sizes: 7, 12, and 30 nm. Almost the same amount of copolymer hydrogel was applied to all beads, indicating that the efficiency of copolymer modification was independent of pore size. Analyte retention on prepared beads in a packed column was observed using steroids, benzodiazepines, and barbiturates as analytes. Analyte retention times increased with temperature on packed columns of 12- and 30-nm beads, whereas the column packed with 7-nm beads exhibited decreased retention times with increasing temperature. The difference in analyte elution behavior among the various pore sizes was attributed to analyte diffusion into the bead pores. These results demonstrate that bead pore diameter determines temperature-dependent elution behavior.
