Abstract
The authors have immobilized nanowires made from zirconium glycerolate (ZrGly) on magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles by applying a solvothermal growth process using metal-glycerolate as a precursor. The structure and the dissolution-recrystallization mechanism of the resulting Fe3O4@ZrGly composite were investigated by attenuated total reflection-FTIR, energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, thermogravimetric analysis and solid-state cross polarization/magic angle spinning 13C NMR spectroscopy. The interaction between the zirconium glycerolate in Fe3O4@ZrGly and cis-diols leads to efficient adsorption of riboncleosides which then can be quantified by HPLC with UV detection. The sorbent was successfully applied to the selective enrichment of adenosine, cytidine, uridine and guanosine from spiked human urine samples. The detection limit of the method is in the range from 1.7 to 19ng·mL-1 of nucleosides in spiked human urine, with relative standard deviationsof lower than 12.4% and recoveriesranging from 90.6 to 113%. Graphical abstract Fe3O4@ZrGly with high selectivity towards ribonucleosides was designed and applied for quantitation of urinary ribonucleosides.
