RESUMEN
A novel colorimetric platform using cotton sponges modified with polyethyleneimine (PEI) was fabricated for the detection of ceftazidime through the diazotization and coupling reaction. In this work, cotton sponges were initially prepared by freeze drying using 2 w/w% cotton fibers modified with 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES), followed by grafting of PEI through a crosslinking reaction using epichlorohydrin (ECH). The optimal concentrations of modifying agents were 170 mM APTES for 1.0 g of cotton fibers and 210 µM PEI for 0.5 g of APTES sponges. With a sample volume of 150 mL, the extracted ceftazidime was detected through the reactions with 0.5 M HCl, 30 mM NaNO2, and 25 µM chromotropic acid on the sponge surface. The PEI-sponge platform provided good selectivity and sensitivity for ceftazidime determination within 30 min. The linear working range for ceftazidime determination was in the range of 0.5-3.0 mg L-1 with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.06 mg L-1. The proposed method was successfully applied to detect ceftazidime in water samples with satisfactory recovery (83-103%) and reproducibility (<4.76% RSD).

Three new flavans, (2S)-7-O-galloyl-5,3',4'-trihydroxyflavan (1), (2S)-7,3'-O-digalloyl-5,4'-dihydroxyflavan (2), and (2S)-7,4'-O-digalloyl-5,3'-dihydroxyflavan (3), together with four known compounds, (2S)-5,7,3',4'-tetrahydroxyflavan (4), (-)-epicatechin (5), (-)-syringaresinol (6), and methyl gallate (7) have been isolated from the EtOAc extract of the stems of Helixanthera parasitica. Compounds 2 and 3 were obtained as a mixture of positional isomers. The structures of the isolated compounds were established using extensive spectroscopic data. Compound 1 and the mixture of 2 and 3 exhibited significant antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum, with IC50 values of 0.59 and 1.38 µM, respectively. In addition, flavans 1-3 showed cytotoxicity against KB, MCF-7, and NCI-H187 cancer cell lines, with IC50 values in the range of 11.1-30.0 µM.
