Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel chlorin e6-folic acid conjugate, a preparation method thereof, and a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of cancer comprising the same, and more particularly, to a novel compound prepared by linking chlorin e6 to folic acid, which effectively produces singlet oxygen in various media and has much better tumor selectivity than the known porphyrin-based photosensitizers, thereby being used effectively in photodynamic therapy for malignant tumors, a preparation method thereof, and a pharmaceutical composition for photodynamic treatment of solid tumors comprising the compound as an active ingredient.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of directly detecting, using a mass-spectrometry method, whether a microorganism contained in a sample is resistant to antibiotics, and a kit for detection used therewith. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method and kit for directly detecting an antibiotic hydrolase secreted by a microorganism resistant to antibiotics, thereby directly determining whether the microorganism is resistant to antibiotics. According to the present invention, it is possible to very simply and immediately confirm whether a specific strain is resistant to antibiotics in the field. In particular, a complicated pretreatment process such as proteolysis is not performed, and a complicated identification process of calibrating and then combining the obtained results is not performed. Accordingly, it is possible to realize a method of easily confirming whether antibiotic resistance occurs in just a dozen minutes, compared to a conventional technology in which it takes several days to confirm whether antibiotic resistance occurs, and a simple diagnostic kit used therewith.

Abstract:
Provided is a novel method for amplifying mass spectrometric signals. A novel method for detecting signals of a target molecule includes: allowing a sample, which comprises a target molecule, to contact a gold particle having a surface modified to selectively bind the target molecule, allowing a low molecular weight molecule engrafted to the gold particle generate mass spectrometric signals after the interaction, e.g., binding, between the gold particle and the target molecule, and amplifying the mass spectrometric signals to generate much mass spectrometric signals of the low molecular weight molecule even when trace amounts of the target molecule are present. An assay system using the method and the gold particle prepared in the method are provided. The method amplifies signals of the target molecule without pretreatment of a sample, making it possible to measure the target molecule simply and precisely.
