The relationship of S-thiolation and oxidation of glycogen phosphorylase b and peroxidation of phosphatidyl choline liposome by xanthine oxidase (XOD), 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane) hydrochloride (AAPH), and 2,2'-azobis(dimethylvaleronitrile) (AMVN)-generated free radicals was investigated, Glycogen phosphorylase b was S-thiolated in the presence of glutathione and oxidized in the absence of it by XOD, AAPH and AMVN. In XOD-initiated reaction, the rates of S-thiolation and oxidation of phosphorylase were very similar and addition of liposome to the reaction mixture showed little inhibition of the modifications. In AAPH-initiated reaction, the rate of oxidation was higher than that of S-thiolation and addition of liposome increased oxidation of the protein but had no effect on S-thiolation. In AMVN-initiated reaction, S-thiolation was higher than oxidation and addition of liposome increased S-thiolation remarkably but showed no effect on oxidation. The effect of liposome on modifications of protein in AAPH and AMVN reaction seemed to be caused by certain reactive degradation products or intermediates of liposome by free radical attack. Peroxidation of liposome was not observed in XOD-initiated reaction. Liposome was gradually peroxidized by AAPH reaction. The peroxidation was inhibited by addition of GSH and phosphorylase. Peroxidation of liposome by AMVN was extreamly fast, and was not affected by GSH and phosphorylase.

An improved antibody-coated sensor system based on quartz crystal microbalance was developed for the detection of Salmonella spp. An antibody against Salmonella common structural antigen was immobilized onto one gold electrode of the piezoelectric quartz crystal surface by various immobilization procedures. The best results in sensitivity and stability were obtained with the thin layers of protein A and 3,3'-dithiopropionimidate.2HCI(DTBP), a homobifunctional thiol-cleavable crosslinker. After the addition of a S. typhimurium suspension into a reaction cell with 0.1 M sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.2, the resonant frequency owing to S. typhimurium adsorption decreased conspicuously. The antibody-immobilized crystals prepared by the gold-protein A complex formation and DTBP thiolation showed the frequency shifts of 80 and 283 Hz, respectively. The time required for maximum frequency shift was about 30~60 min. The antibody-coated crystal could be reused for 6~8 consecutive assays.

Background: Mucoadhesive polymers, which may increase the contact time between the polymer and the tissue, have been widely investigated for pharmaceutical formulations. In this study, we developed a new polysaccharide-based mucoadhesive polymer with thermogelling properties. Methods: Hexanoyl glycol chitosan (HGC), a new thermogelling polymer, was synthesized by the chemical modification of glycol chitosan using hexanoic anhydride. The HGC was further modified to include thiol groups to improve the mucoadhesive property of thermogelling HGC. The degree of thiolation of the thiolated HGCs (SH-HGCs) was controlled in the range of 5-10% by adjusting the feed molar ratio. The structure of the chemically modified polymers was characterized by $^1H$ NMR and ATR-FTIR. The sol-gel transition, mucoadhesiveness, and biocompatibility of the polymers were determined by a tube inverting method, rheological measurements, and in vitro cytotoxicity tests, respectively. Results: The aqueous solution (4 wt%) of HGC with approximately 33% substitution showed a sol-gel transition temperature of approximately $41^{\circ}C$. SH-HGCs demonstrated lower sol-gel transition temperatures ($34{\pm}1$ and $31{\pm}1^{\circ}C$) compared to that of HGC due to the introduction of thiol groups. Rheological studies of aqueous mixture solutions of SH-HGCs and mucin showed that SH-HGCs had stronger mucoadhesiveness than HGC due to the interaction between the thiol groups of SH-HGCs and mucin. Additionally, we confirmed that the thermogelling properties might improve the mucoadhesive force of polymers. Several in vitro cytotoxicity tests showed that SH-HGCs showed little toxicity at concentrations of 0.1-1.0 wt%, indicating good biocompatibility of the polymers. Conclusions: The resultant thiolated hexanoyl glycol chitosans may play a crucial role in mucoadhesive applications in biomedical areas.

The thiolated anti-Escherichia coli antibody prepared by thiolation with a thiolcleavable heterobifunctional cross-linker, sulfosuccinimidyl 6[3- (2-pyridyldithio) propionamido]hexanoate (sulfo-LC-SPDP) was chemisorped onto one gold electrode of the piezoelectric quartz crystal surface. In the QCM system employing a batch-type well holder, a steady-state frequency decrease was attained within 20 min when $100{\sim}200\;{\mu}L$ suspensions of Escherichia coli having viable cell counts of $10^5{\sim}10^6\;CFU/mL$ were added. The stability of sensor response was improved compared to the system with a batch-type dip holder.

A new series of 3-alkylthio-6-allylthio-4(or 5)-methylpyridazines (6a-e)-(7a-e) was synthesized from citraconic anhydride (1) for development of candidates possessing anticancer activity. The process involves the formation of pyridazine ring, dichlorination, monoallythiolation, and further another alkylthiolation. Compounds 6a-e, and 7a-e were prepared from 6-allylthio-3-chloro-4-methylpyridazine (4) or 6-allylthio-3-chloro-5-methylpyridazine (5) via nucleophilic substitution reaction with alkylthiol anion as nucleophile. Intermediates 4, and 5 could be converted to target pyridazines 6a-e, and 7a-e using 1~1.5 equivalent of alkylthiol at reflux temperature in methanol in the presence of sodium hydroxide. The structures of the synthetic compounds were characterized using NMR, IR, and GC-MS analyses.

The capability of detecting amyloid beta 42 ($A{\beta}42$), a biomarker of Alzheimer's disease, using a thiolated protein A-functionalized bimetallic surface plasmon resonance (SPR) chip was investigated. An optimized configuration of a bimetallic chip containing gold and silver was obtained through calculations in the intensity measurement mode. The surface of the SPR bimetallic chip was functionalized with thiolated protein A for the immobilization of $A{\beta}42$ antibody. The response of the thiolated protein A-functionalized bimetallic chip to $A{\beta}42$ in the concentration range of 50 to 1,000 pg/mL was linear. Compared to protein A without thiolation, the thiolated protein A resulted in greater sensitivity. Therefore, the thiolated protein A-functionalized bimetallic SPR chip can be used to detect very low concentrations of the biomarker for Alzheimer's disease.

Three kinds of macro-reticular bead-typed chelating resins having thiol groups were obtained from basic resins like poly(strene-co-divinylbenzene) (PSD) and poly(styrene-co-methyl methacrylate-co-divinylbenzene) (PSMD): the chelating resin (I) was prepared by chloromethylation of phenyl rings of PSD followed by thiolation using thiourea. The chelating resin (ll) was designed to provide enough space to chelate heavy metal ions; one chloromethyl group was obtained by chlorination of hydroxymethyl group provided by reduction of carboxylic ester group of PSMD and another chloromethyl group was obtained by direct chloromethylation of pendent phenyl group using chloromethyl methyl ether. Both of chloromethyl groups were thiolated by using thiourea. The chelating resin (III) was prepared by chlorosulfonation of phenyl rings of PSD followed by thiolation using sodium hydrosulfide. The adsorbtivity toward heavy metal ions was evaluated. The hydrophobic chelating resin (I) with thiol groups showed highly selective adsorption capacity f3r mercury ions. However, the chelating resin (II) with thiol groups showed mere effective adsorption capacity toward mercury ions than chelating resin (I) with thiol groups, and showed some adsorption capacity for other heavy metal ions like Cu$\^$2＋/, Pb$\^$2＋/, Cd$\^$2＋/ and Cr$\^$3＋/. On the other hand, the chelating resin (III) which have hydrophilic thiosulfonic acid groups was found to be effective adsorbents for some heavy metal ions such as Hg$\^$2＋/, Cu$\^$2＋/, Ni$\^$2＋/, Co$\^$2＋/, Cr$\^$3＋/ and especially Cd$\^$2＋/ and Pb$\^$2＋/.

This study was performed to fabricate a batch-type SPR biosensing system using a thiolated E. coli antibody coupling, and to explore the feasibility of real-time detection of E. coii in a stagnant sample solution. In advance. “O” and “K” antigenic serotype E. coli antibodies were thiolated with sulfo-LC-SPDP and dithiothreitol, and immobilized by chemisorption in the gold surface of compact SPR sensors. When the SPR biosensor immobilized with E. coli antibody monitored a E. coli solution, it took 3 to 5 min to stabilize. The SPR biosensing system developed in this study was able to detect E. coli in the range above 10$^4$ CFU/mL at the 0.05 significant level. Also, the SPR biosensor had possibility to significantly detect E. coli in the range of 10$^2$ to 10$^4$ CFU/mL in E. coli solutions. Meanwhile, when the SPR biosensor immobilized with 5. coli antibody was cleaned with NaOH solutions, its ability to detect E. coli largely decreased due to wash-out of the immobilized antibody. In order to reuse the SPR sensor, it should be antibody-immobilized newly.
