Metabolomics is the study of small molecules present in biological samples. In recent years it has become evident that such small molecules, called metabolites, play a key role in the development of disease states. Furthermore, metabolomic applications can reveal information about alterations in certain metabolic pathways under different conditions. Data acquisition in metabolomics is usually performed using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based approaches or mass spectrometry (MS)-based approaches with a more recent trend including the application of multiple platforms in order to maximise the coverage in terms of metabolites measured. The application of metabolomics is rapidly increasing and the present review will highlight applications in nutrition research.

AbstractA strong limitation of nuclear magnetic resonance is its low inherent sensitivity that can be overcome by using an appropriate hyperpolarization technique. Presently, dynamic nuclear polarization and spin-exchange optical pumping are the only hyperpolarization techniques that are used in applied medicine. However, both are relatively complex in use and expensive. Here we present a modification of the signal amplification by reversible exchange (SABRE) hyperpolarization method – SABRE on stabilized Ir-complexes. A stabilized Ir-complex (here we used bipyridine for stabilization) can be hyperpolarized in a wide range of magnetic fields from a few μT upto 10 T with

<p></p><p>Several drug candidates have been proposed and tested as the latest clinical treatment for the coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19). Chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine, ritonavir/lopinavir, and favipiravir are proved to be effective after treatment. The hyperpolarization technique presents an ability to further understand the roles of these drugs at the molecular scale and applications in nuclear magnetic resonance/magnetic resonance imaging (NMR/MRI). This technique may provide new opportunities in diagnosis and biomedical research to cope with COVID-19. Signal amplification by reversible exchange (SABRE)-based hyperpolarization studies on large-sized drug candidates were carried out. We observed hyperpolarized proton signals from whole structures, due to the unprecedented long-distance polarization transfer by <i>para</i>-hydrogen. We also found that the optimum magnetic field for the maximum polarization transfer yield was dependent on the molecular structure. Therefore, future research on isotope labelling and polarization transfer on long T1 time nuclei including clinical perspectives can help us overcome this worldwide pandemic.</p><p></p>

A 19F N.M.R. study is reported of the exchange of the fluoro ligands of [BeF4]2-. The exchange rate law is: ����������� rate = kobs4[BeF42-] = k'4[BeF42-]+ k''4[BeF42-][BeF3H2O-] where k'(298 K) = 69�3 s-1, ΔH‡ = 30�3 kJ mol-1, ΔS‡ = -110�10 J mol-1 K-1 and k''(298 K) = (1.6�0.5)×103 dm3 mol-1 s-1, ΔH‡ = 26�3 kJ mol-1, ΔS‡ = - 96�9 J mol-1 K-1. The k' exchange process appears to be predominantly dissociative in nature, and the k'' exchange process apparently proceeds through a fluoro bridged species [Be2F7]2-.
