QSAR models of cytochrome P450 enzyme 1A2 inhibitors using CoMFA,CoMSIA and HQSAR

Quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) studies were conducted on an in-house database of cytochrome P450 enzyme 1A2 inhibitors using the comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA), comparative molecular similarity analysis (CoMSIA) and hologram QSAR (HQSAR) approaches. The database consisted of 36 active molecules featuring varied core structures. The model based on the naphthalene substructure alignment incorporating 19 molecules yielded the best model with a CoMFA cross validation value q² of 0.667 and a Pearson correlation coefficient r² of 0.976; a CoMSIA q² value of 0.616 and r² value of 0.985; and a HQSAR q² value of 0.652 and r² value of 0.917. A second model incorporating 34 molecules aligned using the benzene substructure yielded an acceptable CoMFA model with q² value of 0.5 and r² value of 0.991. Depending on the core structure of the molecule under consideration, new CYP1A2 inhibitors will be designed based on the results from these models.     

Electron impact,electron capture negative ionization and positive chemical ionization mass spectra of organophosphorus flame retardants and plasticizers

Phosphate esters are important commercial products that have been used both as flame retardants and as plasticizers. To analyze these compounds by gas chromatographic mass spectrometry, it is important to understand the mass spectra of these compounds using various ionization modes. This paper is a systematic overview of the electron impact (EI), electron capture negative ionization (ECNI) and positive chemical ionization (PCI) mass spectra of 13 organophosphate esters. These data are useful for developing and optimizing analytical measurements. The EI spectra of these 13 compounds are dominated by ions such as H₄PO₄⁺, (M ? Cl)⁺, (M ? CH₂Cl)⁺ or (M)⁺ depending on specific chemical structures. The ECNI spectra are generally dominated by (M ? R)^?. The PCI spectra are mainly dominated by the protonated molecular ion (M + H)⁺. The branching of the alkyl substituents, the halogenation of the substituents and, for aromatic phosphate esters, ortho alkylation of the ring are all significant factors controlling the details of the fragmentation processes. EI provides the best sensitivity for the quantitative measurement of these compounds, but PCI and ECNI both have considerable qualitative selectivity. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Room Temperature Phosphorescence of 1-Bromo-4-(bromoacetyl)naphthalene Induced by Sodium Deoxycholate

Sodium deoxycholate (NaDOC) can induce 1-bromo-4-(bromoacetyl)naphthalene (BBAN) to undergo strong room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) without the removal of dissolved oxygen from the solution. RTP spectra, phosphorescence polarization and ¹³C NMR results, along with the molecular modeling calculations, supported the conclusion that BBAN molecule was combined in a sandwich with two NaDOC molecules by a “back-to-back” hydrophobic interaction arising from the apolar faces of the NaDOC molecules, which provided BBAN with a rigid enough microenvironment to produce RTP.

Optimization of Square Wave Voltammetry (SWV) Parameters by Design of Experiment (DoE) Methodologies for the Determination of Mifepristone at Glassy Carbon Electrode (GCE)

In the present study, an electroanalytical method that permits the optimization of factors affecting SWV for sensitive detection of mifepristone at glassy carbon electrode (GCE) using response surface methodology (RSM) with desirability function (DF) is presented. Factors selected for optimization after screening using full factorial design were frequency (X₁), amplitude (X₂), and pH (X₃). The central composite design as a response surface methodology with desirability function (DF) was applied for obtaining the optimum level. The optimum conditions were obtained as follows: Frequency (X₁=50 Hz), amplitude (X₂=33.4 mV), and pH (X₃=9.4), with an overall desirability function of 0.97. Subsequently, confirmatory experiments were performed in triplicates to validate the optimum conditions. The results obtained were satisfactory and agreed well with less only 11.9 % deviation from the values predicted by the model. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were found to be 0.54 and 1.80 ppm, respectively. The proposed method was applied for a quantitative determination of mifepristone in spiked tap water samples. The recovery tests showed that the detection of mifepristone at GC could be evaluated on environmental samples.

Applying green analytical chemistry for development and validation of RP-HPLC stability indicating assay method for estimation of fenoverine in bulk and dosage form using quality by design approach

A green and robust reverse-phase liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the determination of fenoverine (FEN), by applying combined principles of green analytical chemistry and quality by design approaches on a Spherisorb C18 column (150?×?4.6?mm, 3?µm) with UV detection at 262?nm. A two level fractional factorial design (2^^7-3) Res IV was used for screening of influential chromatographic factors. The critical method parameters actively affecting critical quality attributes (CQAs) were identified and further optimized using Box–Behnken design. The predicted optimum assay conditions comprised of methanol and ammonium acetate buffer 20?mM, in an extent of 81:19% v/v individually having a flow rate of 1.0?mL/min with a column oven temperature of 33°C. The drug was stressed in hydrolytic, oxidative, reductive, thermal, and photolytic conditions. The developed method was validated successfully. The detector response was linear in the concentration of 0.5–160?µg/mL with a limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) as 0.1 and 0.3?µg/mL, respectively. The % recovery was found to be 99.7%. The analytical method volume intensity value for developed method was 45?mL and the environment assessment tool (EAT) score was 41.07. The method is simple, environmentally benign, rapid, and robust for the determination of FEN in bulk and in its dosage form.     

Mössbauer effect study of fine atomic structure of Fe50Al40Ni10 powders

In the present paper, we discuss the local atomic environment of Fe atoms in the mechanically alloyed Fe₅₀Al₄₀Ni₁₀ powders on the basis of hyperfine data estimated from ⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer spectra. B_hf decreases with increasing milling time due to the diffusion of Al and/or Ni into Fe grains. Nickel atoms did not diffuse inside the first coordination sphere of Fe and if the diffusion takes place the number is not more than one atom. Analyses of P(B_hf), indicate that the high hyperfine field values ranging from 30 to 33 T have to be partially attributed to Fe crystalline nanograins and the presence of the defects in them, the hyperfine field values ranging from 15 to 30 T can be associated to the nanocrystalline bcc Fe(Al, Ni) solid solution while the low hyperfine field values (<15 T) result from Fe atoms located in the disordered grain boundaries.
