Synthesis of a new Pt(II) complex containing valganciclovir drug and calf-thymus DNA interaction study using multispectroscopic methods

A new complex, [Pt(valcyte)(DMSO)Cl]Cl, in which valcyte (trade name) served as valganciclovir hydrochloride drug ([2-[(2-amino-6-oxo-3H-purin-9-yl)methoxy]-3-hydroxypropyl](2S)-2-amino-3-methylbutanoate), was synthesized and characterized by different physicochemical methods. Binding interaction of this complex with calf-thymus DNA (ct-DNA) has been investigated by multispectroscopic techniques. The complex displays significant binding properties with ct-DNA. The results of fluorescence and UV–vis absorption spectroscopy indicated that this complex interacted with ct-DNA in a groove-binding mode, and the binding constant was 3.8 × 10⁴ M^?1. Furthermore, the complex induced detectable changes in the CD spectrum of ct-DNA and slightly changed its viscosity which verified the groove-binding mode. Finally, all results indicated that Pt(II) complex interact with DNA via groove-binding mode.     

Solvent-controlled dehydration and diastereoselective formation of indenone-fused thiazolo[3,2-a]pyridines via a one-pot four-component reaction

A solvent-controlled four-component reaction has been described for the preparation of either hydroxy-tetrahydro-thiaza-cyclopenta[c]fluoren-6-one or dihydro-thiaza-cyclopenta[c]fluoren-6-one from nitroketene dithioacetals, cysteamine hydrochloride, 1,3-indandione and aromatic aldehydes starting materials by changing solvent systems. These reactions proceed under catalyst-free conditions affording a range of two types of skeletally distinct thiazolo[3,2-a]pyridines-based heterocycles. Hydroxy-tetrahydro-thiaza-cyclopenta[c]fluoren-6-one was obtained in H₂O/EtOH (3:1, v/v) in high yield and diastereoselectivity but in contrast dihydro-thiaza-cyclopenta[c]fluoren-6-one was synthesised in EtOH in moderate to good yields and in the longer reaction time. The structural diversities have been confirmed spectroscopically, by IR ¹H and ¹³C NMR, and EI-MS spectra, which agree with the proposed structures.     

Assay of cisapride in pharmaceutical formulations by visible spectrophotometry

Three spectrophotometric methods (A-C) for the assay of cisapride (CPD) in pure and dosage forms are described. Method A is based on the oxidative coupling reaction of CPD with 3-methyl-2-benzothiazolinone hydrazone hydrochloride (MBTH) in the presence of ferric chloride to form a coloured species (_max; 565 nm.) Method B is based on the oxidation of CPD with Fe (III) and subsequent chelation of Fe(II) to form a coloured complex with 1,10-phenanthroline (_max: 520 nm). Method C is based on the formation of a coloured charge-transfer complex between CPD and chloranilic acid (_max; 555 nm). Regression analysis of Beer-Lambert plots showed good correlation in the concentration ranges 2.0–32.0, 0.4–6.4 and 25.0–450.0 g/ml for methods A,B and C, respectively. The validity of the proposed methods was tested by analysing pharmaceutical dosage forms containing CPD and the relative standard deviations were within 1.0%     

Structural characterization of oxidized lumiflavin hydrochloride hydrate: Comparison with the hydrogen bonding at the cofactor of flavoproteins

In order to examine the possibility of hydrogen bonding around the flavin ring, an X-ray diffraction study of the title compound was undertaken. Crystals of lumiflavin hydrochloride hydrate [2(C₁₃H₁₂N₄O₂) 4 HCl 7 H₂O] are triclinic, space group ,Z=2,a=11.064(1),b=17.903(1),c=9.891(1)Å, =111.9(6), -96.4(8), =91.6(7)°. We present the crystal structure of this compound and compare it with other flavin derivatives and with the structure of the active site of some flavoproteins.     

Raman spectroscopic investigation of cocaine hydrochloride on human nail in a forensic context

This study describes the application of Raman spectroscopy to the detection of drugs of abuse and noncontrolled substances used in the adulteration of drugs of abuse on human nail. Contamination of the nail may result from handling or abusing these substances. Raman spectra of pure cocaine hydrochloride, a seized street sample of cocaine hydrochloride (77%), and paracetamol could be acquired from drug crystals on the surface of the nail. An added difficulty in the analytical procedure is afforded by the presence of a nail varnish coating the nail fragment. By using confocal Raman spectroscopy, spectra of the drugs under nail varnish could be acquired. Spectra of the drugs could be readily obtained nondestructively within three minutes with little or no sample preparation. Raman spectra could be acquired from drug particles with an average size of 5–20 μm. Acquisition of Raman point maps of crystals from both pure and street samples of cocaine hydrochloride under nail varnish is also reported.

Synthesis of molecular imprinted polymer modified TiO2 nanotube array electrode and their photoelectrocatalytic activity

A tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) modified TiO₂ nanotube array electrode was prepared via surface molecular imprinting. Its surface was structured with surface voids and the nanotubes were open at top end with an average diameter of approximately 50 nm. The MIP-modified TiO₂ nanotube array with anatase phase was identified by XRD and a distinguishable red shift in the absorption spectrum was observed. The MIP-modified electrode also exhibited a high adsorption capacity for TC due to its high surface area providing imprinted sites. Photocurrent was generated on the MIP-modified photoanode using the simulated solar spectrum and increased with the increase of positive bias potential. Under simulated solar light irradiation, the MIP-modified TiO₂ nanotube array electrode exhibited enhanced photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) activity with the apparent first-order rate constant being 1.2-fold of that with TiO₂ nanotube array electrode. The effect of the thickness of the MIP layer on the PEC activity was also evaluated.

氮氧自由基电催化氧化盐酸伪麻黄碱的电化学行为及其电化学动力学性质

运用循环伏安法(CV)、计时电流法(CA)在玻碳电极(GCE)上研究了以氮氧自由基(4-羟基-2,2,6,6-四甲基-哌啶-1-氧自由基,TEMPOL)为均相电子转移媒体电催化氧化盐酸伪麻黄碱(PEH)的电化学行为及其电化学动力学性质.研究结果表明,PEH在GCE上的电化学氧化过程十分迟缓,不易直接发生电化学氧化反应.而在TEMPOL存在时PEH在0.641 V处出现了一个不可逆的氧化峰,且峰电流大幅度增加,表明TEMPOL对PEH的电化学氧化具有良好的电催化作用.在5～1 000 mV/s扫描速度范围内,氧化峰电流(Ipa)与扫描速率平方根(v1/2)呈线性关系,此催化氧化反应是一受扩散控制的电极过程.测定了电催化氧化反应动力学参数:电子转移系数α为0.72,催化反应速率常数k为(2.26±0.05)×103(mol/L)/s.催化体系氧化峰电流与PEH浓度在2.0×10-5～2.0×10-3mol/L范围内呈良好的线性关系,检出限为1.0×10-5mol/L.     

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes based catalyst plasmon resonance light scattering analysis of tetracycline hydrochloride

It was found that multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) could catalyze the redox reaction between chlorauric acid (HAuCl4) and reductive drugs such as tetracycline hydrochloride (TC), producing gold nanoparticles (Au NPs). By measuring the plasmon resonance light scattering (PRLS) signals of the resulting Au NPs, tetracycline hydrochloride can be detected simply and rapidly with a linear range of 4―26 μmol/L, a correlated coefficient (r ) of 0.9955, and a limit of detection (3σ) of 6.0 nmol/L. This method has been successfully applied to the detection of tetracycline hydrochloride tablets in clinic with the recovery of 101.9% and that of fresh urine samples with the recovery of 98.3%―102.0%.
