N.N-Diphenyl--alanines with substituents in one or in both of the phenyl groups were synthesized by reactions of the corresponding diphenylamine derivatives with -propiolactone. Similarly diphenylamine reacted with -butyrolactone to give -(N.N-diphenylamino)-butyric acid. 4.4-Diethyldiphenylamine and 2-chloro-6-methyldiphenylamine were prepared as starting materials for the corresponding -alanines.

     

Temperature-programmed reduction and oxidation of bimetallic catalysts Rh?Ag/Al2O3

Investigations of temperature-programmed reduction and oxidation of bimetallic catalysts Rh–Al₂O₃ seem to indicate that there are no strong interactions between rhodium and silver. Bimetallic catalysts rather show the additive properties of individual components, i. e. rhodium and silver.

Catalytic and physico-chemical properties of Al2O3?H3PO4 system, II. Donor-acceptor properties

Donor-acceptor properties of catalysts containing different quantities of orthophosphoric acid on -alumina were studied. The decrease in N₂O decomposition rate was found to be parallel with that of one-electron donor sites. Catalysts containing more than 0.4 mmol H₃PO₄/g Al₂O₃ exhibit individual surface properties due to the formation of an aluminium phosphate phase in the surface layer.

A study of pyridine adsorption on supported vanadium-aluminium catalysts by IR and UV spectroscopy

The acidic properties of supported vanadium-aluminum catalysts have been studied by the IR and UV spectroscopy of adsorbed pyridine. Introduction of vanadium ions does not result in the appearance of acidity of the Brönsted type in the temperature range under study (25–500°C). The adsorption of pyridine on samples containing large amounts of V₂O₅ reversibly increases the transmission in the IR region, which is due to the decrease of current carrier concentration. On pure Al₂O₃, pyridine is oxidized beginning with 400°C; V₂O₅ decreases the temperature of the beginning of oxidation to 200–300°C.

A New Bioautographic Screening Method for the Detection of Estrogenic Compounds

The yeast estrogen screen was introduced as biological detection method for high performance thin layer chromatography. Yeast cells were grown directly on HPTLC plates, where in the presence of estrogenic substances the production of the enzyme -galactosidase was induced. For the natural ligand 17 -estradiol, sensitivity could be improved by a factor of 20 using the fluorogenic substrate 4-methylumbelliferyl -D-galactopyranoside instead of the chromogenic substrate chlorophenol red--D-galactopyranoside. The fluorescence intensity of estrogenic zones was measured using a commercial TLC-Scanner. A nearly full dose-response curve was obtained for 17 -estradiol masses between 2.75 and 550 pg, or concentrations of 2.75 to 550 g L^–1.     

Solubility Study of Nimodipine Inclusion Complexation with α- and β-Cyclodextrin and some Substituted Cyclodextrins

The solubility of nimodipine was measured in aqueous solutions of the following cyclodextrins: -cyclodextrin (-CD), hydroxypropyl--CD (HP--CD), -cyclodextrin (-CD), random substituted methyl--CD (M--CD), three hydroxypropyl--CDs (HP--CD) with mutually different average degree of substitution, and hydroxypropyl--cyclodextrin (HP--CD). From the determined linear solubility diagrams the values of the binding constant K₁₁ of the inclusion complexes of nimodipine with the respective CDs were evaluated. The -CDs efficiently solubilized sparingly soluble nimodipine, the highest value of K₁₁ was found for M--CD (1680 M^-1), followed by -CD (550 M^-1) and HP--CDs, where the higher degree of substitution lowered K₁₁. Only slight solubilization of nimodipine was observed in the solutions of the -CDs and HP--CD.

Comparison of the Complexation of Cosmetical and Pharmaceutical Compounds with γ-Cyclodextrin, 2-Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin and Water-Soluble β-Cyclodextrin-co-epichlorhydrin Polymers

The ability of different cyclodextrins (CDs): CD, 2-hydroxypropyl CD to complex drugs like 3--hydroxy-11-oxoolean- 12-en-30-oic acid, 2-ethylhexyl-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-propanoate and menthol was compared to that of water-soluble polymers: CD-co-epichlorhydrin polymer (pCD/EP) and CD-co-epichlorhydrin polymer partially modified with trimethylammonium groups (pCD/EPN⁺). 3--Hydroxy-11-oxoolean-12-en-30-oic acid was poorly solubilized by CD compared with other CD derivatives, however the determination of the complexation constants was possible for pCD/EP, K₁₁ = 740, K₁₂ = 4, for pCD/EPN⁺, K₁₁ = 681, for CD, K₁₁ = 16 and for hydroxypropyl CD, K₁₁ = 114, K₁₂ = 3.4. A significant increase of the solubility was observed for 2-ethylhexyl-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-propanoate with all host molecules, it was 916 times its solubility in pure water with pCD/EPN⁺, 1116 and 1300 times with 2-hydroxypropyl CD and pCD/EP respectively. The association constants are K₁₁ = 7970, K₁₁ = 4700, K₁₁ = 1470, K₁₁ = 230 and K₁₂ = 200 with pCD/EP, pCD/EPN⁺, CD, 2-hydroxypropyl CD respectively. An increase of the solubility of menthol was observed with all CD derivatives, up to 36–37 times, except for CD. The complexation constants are similar equal to about 200.     

Some Pharmaceutical Properties of a New Branched Cyclodextrin, 6-O-α-(4-O- α-D-Glucuronyl)-D-glucosylβ-cyclodextrin

Some physicochemical and biological properties of a new branched cyclodextrin, 6-O--(4-O--d-glucuronyl)-d-glucosyl--cyclodextrin GUG--CyD) were investigated. Further, theinteraction of GUG--CyD with several drugs was studied by the solubility and spectroscopic methods, and compared with those of parent -CyD and 6-O--maltosyl--CyD(₂--CyD).The hemolytic activity of GUG--CyD on rabbit erythrocytes was lower than those of -CyD and ₂--CyD. GUG--CyD and ₂--CyD showed negligible cytotoxicity on Caco-2 cells up to at least 0.1 M. The inclusion ability of GUG--CyD to neutral and acidic drugs was comparable to or slightly smaller than those of -CyD and ₂--CyD, probably because of a steric hindrance of the branched sugar. On the other hand, GUG--CyD showed greater affinity for the basic drugs, compared with -CyD and ₂--CyD, owing to the electrostatic interaction of its carboxylate anion with positive charge of basic drugs. Thus GUG--CyD may be useful as a safe solubilizing agent particularly for basic drugs.     

Studies of composite catalysts of nickel on metal-ceramic substrates

Properties of the composite catalysts made of nickel metal (Ni⁰) supported on metal-ceramics Al⁰/-Al₂O₃ have been examined. Non-additive elevation of the specific catalytic activity with increasing nickel concentration in samples is shown to be due to the occurrence of metallic nickel with increased surface electron density.

Skeletal reactions of perfluoromethylethyl- and perfluorodiethylbenzocyclobutenes with 1,1- and 1,2-alkyl groups in SbF5

Taking perfluoro-1,1-dialkylbenzocyclobutenes as examples, it has been shown to be possible to enlarge the four-membered ring in polyfluorobenzocyclobutenes to five-membered in the presence of SbF₅, by cleavage of the four-membered ring followed by cyclization of the resulting polyfluorostyrene to the polyfluoroindane, which then undergoes further reactions. Perfluoro-1-methyl-1-ethylbenzocyclobutene isomerizes at 50°C in the presence of SbF₅ to perfluoro-,-o -trimethylstyrene, which is reversibly converted at 130°C into perfluoro-1,2-dimethylindane. Perfluoro-l,l-diethylbenzocyclobutene isomerizes at 130°C in the presence of SbF₅ to give perfluoro- -ethyl-,o -dimethylstyrene, which at 170°C gives perfluoro-2-methyl-3-ethylindene- and perfluoro-2-methyl-3-ethyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindene. The last two compounds, together with perfluoro-o-dipropylbenzene, are obtained from per fluoro-1,2-diethylbenzocyclobutene-with SbF₅ at 170°C. From perfluoro-1-methyl-2-ethylbenzocyclobutene with SbF₅ at 95°C there is obtained perfluoro-1-ethylindane, while at 130°C, in addition to the latter compound, there are obtained perfluorinated 1,1-dimethylindane, 1,2-dimethylindane, ,,o-trimethylstyrene, 2,3-dimethylindene, and 2,3-dimethyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindene.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 5, pp. 1114–1120, May, 1990.

Ultrasonic study of the molecular encapsulation and the micellization processes of dodecylethyldimethylammonium bromide-water solutions in the presence of β-cyclodextrin or 2,6-di-o-methyl-β-cyclodextrin

Aqueous solutions of -cyclodextrin (-CD) or 2,6-di-o-methyl--cyclodextrin (DM--CD) and dodecylethyldimethylammonium bromide (D₁₂EDMAB) have been studied from speed of sound (u) data at 298.15 K, using a pulse-echo-overlap technique. The molecular encapsulation process of the surfactant monomer into the cyclodextrin cavity and its effect in the micellization process of the surfactant have been analyzed from theu measurements: I) as a function of [D₁₂EDMAB] in the presence of several initial cyclodextrin concentrations (-CD or.DM--CD); II) as a function of [cyclodextrin] (-CD or DM--CD), for an initial micellar solution of D₁₂EDMAB and; III) as a function of the [cyclodextrin]/[surfactant] stoichiometric concentrations. Both inclusion complexes formed (-CDD₁₂EDMAB) and (DM--CDD₁₂EDMAB) have stoichiometries of 11, and their association constantK have been determined using a model proposed in this work, based on the additivity of the different contributions of the involved species to the speed of sound. The apparent critical micellar concentration, cmc^*, of D₁₂EDMAB is found to increase linearly upon the addition of cyclodextrin (-CD or DM--CD). The free surfactant concentration in the micellar region, [D₁₂EDMAB]_f, decreases in the presence of -CD and slightly increases in the presence of DM--CD. The influence of the parcial methylation of the -cyclodextrin (-CDDM--CD) and of the polar head of the surfactant (D₁₂TAB D₁₂EDMAB) on the complextion and micellar parameters are also discussed.Supplementary material available: Tables of speed of sound (14 pages) are available from the authors.     

Conformational studies of sequential polypeptides of L-Alanine and β-Alanine

Summary In order to investigate the effect of the -alanine residue on the conformational stability of -helical poly(L-alanine), studies have been made on the conformations of sequential copolypeptides having the following repeating sequences: (L-Ala--Ala) _n , (L-Ala-L-Ala--Ala) _n , (L-Ala--Ala-L-Ala-L-Ala) _n and (L-Ala-L-Ala-X) _n , where X is D,L--amino-isobutyric acid residue. Conformations of these polypeptides were measured both in the solution and solid states by means of optical rotatory dispersion, infrared and far-infrared spectroscopies and X-ray diffractions. All the copolypeptides studied here did not give the -helix. It may be, therefore, concluded that the -alanine residue is not incorporated in but impairs the -helix of poly(L-alanine), since the hydrogen bond periodicity in the -helical chain is disturbed by the introduction of such a -amino acid as -alanine.With 5 figures and 2 tables
