Application of aqueous mixtures of polypropylene glycol or polyethylene glycol with salts in proteomic analysis

Partitioning of Bovine serum albumin (BSA), β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) and zein as model proteins in aqueous two-phase systems (S) containing polypropylene glycol (PPG425) or polyethylene glycol (PEG 6000) and salts (MgSO₄, (NH₄)₂SO₄, Na₂SO₄) is presented in this paper. The effects of different factors such as tie-line length, salt type and polymer type on the partition coefficient and recovery percent of proteins were analysed. The model proteins were separated by these systems (S) and directly used for gel electrophoresis without separating the target proteins from phase-forming reagents. The results revealed that the S, studied in this work could be used as a novel prefractionation method in proteomic analysis and could separate proteomic proteins in multigroup by one step extraction.     

Purification of papain by metal affinity partitioning in aqueous two‐phase polyethylene glycol/sodium sulfate systems

A simple and inexpensive aqueous two‐phase affinity partitioning system using metal ligands was introduced to improve the selectivity of commercial papain extraction. Polyethylene glycol 4000 was first activated using epichlorohydrin, then it was covalently linked to iminodiacetic acid. Finally, the specific metal ligand Cu²⁺ was attached to the polyethylene glycol‐iminodiacetic acid. The chelated Cu²⁺ content was measured by atomic absorption spectrometry as 0.88 mol/mol (polyethylene glycol). The effects on the purification at different conditions, including polyethylene glycol molecular weight (2000, 4000, and 6000), concentration of phase–forming components (polyethylene glycol 12–20% w/w and sodium sulfate 12–20%, w/w), metal ligand type, and concentration, system pH and the commercial papain loading on papain extraction, were systematically studied. Under optimum conditions of the system, i.e. 18% w/w sodium sulfate, 18% w/w polyethylene glycol 4000, 1% w/w polyethylene glycol‐iminodiacetic acid‐Cu²⁺ and pH 7, a maximum yield of 90.3% and a degree of purification of 3.6‐fold were obtained. Compared to aqueous two phase extraction without ligands, affinity partitioning was found to be an effective technique for the purification of commercial papain with higher extraction efficiency and degree of purification.     

Synthesis and micellar characterization of short block length methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(caprolactone) diblock copolymers

A series of short block length methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(caprolactone) diblock copolymers was synthesized and characterized in order to assess the potential of these copolymers as a micellar drug-delivery system. Varying the caprolactone:MePEG weight ratio in the reaction mixture allowed the synthesis of diblock copolymers with a MePEG molecular weight of 750 g/mol and PCL block lengths of 2, 5 or 10 repeat units. Phase diagrams of aqueous solutions of the copolymers were constructed which displayed characteristic cloud points and Krafft points. As the degree of polymerization of PCL increased, critical micelle concentration (CMC) values decreased from 6.97 x 10(-1) to 3.38 x 10(-3) g/l, partition equilibrium coefficients (Kv) increased from 1.09 x 10(4) to 22.2 x 10(4),and hydrodynamic diameters increased from 12.2 to 19.5 nm. The micelle morphology was determined to be spherical by transmission electron microscopy.     

PdCl2-catalyzed hydrogenolysis of an Ar-Cl bond by sodium phosphinate in an aqueous alkaline medium

The hydrogenolysis of the Ar-Cl bond in chlorinated benzoic acids, anilines, and nitrogen-containing heterocycles by the action of NaH₂PO₂ in the presence of catalytic amounts of PdCl₂ and NaOH in an aqueous medium was studied. Under these conditions aryl chlorides were quantitatively converted into the corresponding arenes. Chloropyridines, such as 2-chloropyridine and 3, 5-dichloropicolinic acid, did not undergo hydrogenolysis even in the presence of an equivalent amount of NaI. A distinctortho effect was observed forortho-substituted substrates.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 3, pp. 607–609, March, 1993.     

Interfacial and micellar properties of binary mixtures of surfactant and phospholipid in an aqueous medium

Mixed micelles formed by zwitterionic surfactant dimethyldodecylammniopropane sulfonate and short-chain phospholipid 1,2-diheptanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine in different proportions in an aqueous medium have been studied physicochemically at an air/water interface and in the bulk by using interfacial tension and pyrene fluorescence intensity measurements, respectively. The critical micellar concentration and free energies of micellization and of interfacial adsorption have been determined. The interfacial study reveals that a mixed monolayer is formed at the air/water interface by the adsorption of surfactant and phospholipid monomers. This has been confirmed by evaluating the interfacial parameters; the maximum surface excess, the minimum area per molecule of a surface-active compound, and the Gibbs surface excess related to surface pressure. The nonideality of mixing, expressed in the terms of the regular solution interaction parameter, #, has negative values over the whole mole fraction range. The negative # values indicate the mutual synergism between the surfactant and phospholipid monomers. The equilibrium distribution of components between micelle and monomer phases was evaluated using a theoretical treatment based on excess thermodynamics quantities evaluated by Motomura's formulation.

Vapor-liquid equilibrium properties of sodium n-heptyl sulfonate in Water and in aqueous solutions of poly(ethylene glycol) at different temperatures

The vapor-liquid equilibria properties of sodium n-heptyl sulfonate (C₇SO₃Na) in pure water and in aqueous poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) solutions were determined at different temperatures below and above the critical micelle concentration (CMC). Vapor-liquid equilibrium data such as water activity, vapor pressure, osmotic coefficient, activity coefficient and Gibbs free energies were obtained through isopiestic method. The concentration dependence of all investigated thermodynamic properties exhibit a change in slope at the concentration in which micelles are formed. It was found that the vapor pressure depression for a ternary aqueous C₇SO₃Na + PEG system is more than the sum of those for the corresponding binary solutions and, at higher temperatures, the higher concentration of PEG is in equilibrium with a certain concentration of surfactant.     

Thermodynamic properties of surfactant sodium n-heptyl sulfonate in water and in aqueous solutions of poly(ethylene glycol) at different temperatures

The volumetric, compressibility and electrical conductivity properties of sodium n-heptyl sulfonate (C₇SO₃Na) in pure water and in aqueous poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) solutions were determined at different temperatures below and above the micellar composition range. At each temperature, the infinite dilution apparent molar volumes of the monomer and micellar state of C₇SO₃Na in aqueous PEG solutions respectively are smaller and larger than those in pure water. However, the values of the infinite dilution apparent molar isentropic compressibility of both monomer and micellar states of C₇SO₃Na in aqueous PEG solutions are larger than those in pure water. Thermodynamic parameters of micellization of investigated surfactant in water and in aqueous solutions of PEG at different temperatures were estimated and it was found that the micelle formation process is endothermic and therefore, this process must be driven by entropy increase. The calculated Gibbs free energies of micellization for aqueous PEG solutions are more negative than those for pure water and become more negative by increasing temperature. The variation of the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of C₇SO₃Na in water and in aqueous PEG solutions with temperature was obtained and a comparison between the CMC of C₇SO₃Na obtained from different thermodynamic properties was also made.     

Synthesis of CeO2 nanorods via ultrasonication assisted by polyethylene glycol

Polycrystalline CeO2 nanorods 5-10 nm in diameter and 50-150 nm in length were synthesized via ultrasonication using polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a structure-directing agent at room temperature. The properties of the CeO2 nanorods were characterized by TEM, EDS, XRD, XPS, FT-IR, TG, BET, and UV-vis spectroscopy. Various reaction parameters, such as the content of PEG, the molecular weight of PEG, the concentration of KOH, the pH value, and the sonication time, were investigated by a series of control experiments. The content of PEG, the molecular weight of PEG, and the sonication time were confirmed to be the crucial factors determining the formation of one-dimensional CeO2 nanorods. A possible ultrasonic formation mechanism has been suggested to explain the formation of CeO2 nanorods.     

Enhanced aqueous solubility of long wavelength voltage-sensitive dyes by covalent attachment of polyethylene glycol

Long wavelength voltage-sensitive dyes (VSDs) called Pittsburgh (PGH) dyes were recently synthesized by coupling various heterocyclic groups to a styryl-thiophene intermediate forming extended, partially rigid chromophores. Unlike most styryl VSDs, dyes with a sulfonic acid anchor directly attached to the chromophore showed no solvatochromic absorption shifts. The limited water solubility of many long wavelength VSDs requires the use of surfactants to transport the dye through physiological saline solutions and effectively label biological membranes. Here, we tested the chemical substitution of the sulfonic acid moiety with polyethyleneglycol (PEG) chains, ranging from MW 750 to 5000, to overcome the poor solubility of VSDs while retaining their properties as VSDs. The chemical synthesis of PGH dyes and their PEG derivatives are described. The PEG derivatives were soluble in aqueous solutions (>1 mM) and still reported membrane potential changes. In frog and mouse hearts, the voltage sensitivity (DeltaF/F per action potential) and spectral properties of PEG dyes were the same as the sulfonated analogues. Thus, the solubility of VSDs can be considerably improved with small polyethyleneglycol chains and can provide an effective approach to improve staining of excitable tissues and optical recordings of membrane potential.     

Electrochemical synthesis and characterization of thiophene conducting polymer in aqueous micellar medium

In opposite with the usually applied synthesis in organic media, the polymerization of bithiophene in aqueous media has been studied. The use of a non-ionic surfactant (polyoxyethylene octyl phenyl ether (Triton X-100)) is useful not only to solubilize the hydrophobic monomer but it is also important to incorporate various—biologically and catalytically active—additives. In this paper, the optimization of the polymerization conditions as well as the characterization of the electrochemical, spectral and mass exchange behavior of these composite films is summarized. The layers have shown imperceptible electroactivity in monomer-free aqueous LiClO₄ solutions, and electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) studies exhibited scarce ion movements, caused assumingly by the fact that the dopant species—moving together with their hydrate shell in the aqueous media—could not penetrate into the hydrophobic film. In contrast, nice reversible redox transformation could be obtained in organic medium such as acetonitrile, where—according to the EQCM results—the charge carrier formation/depletion is accompanied by the incorporation/removal of ClO₄ ^? anions. In this solution, the spectral changes have proved the transformation into the conducting state, connected to both mono- and di-cation forms. The incorporation of the surfactant has been demonstrated by the extraordinary surface morphology of the polybithiophene (pBT) films, characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The elementary composition of the curious shell-shaped objects, monitored by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), evidenced the presence of Triton X-100 by the increased C/S ratio compared to neat polybithiophene, while the Cl/S data reflected the changes connected to the doping level as a consequence of ClO₄ ^? anion movements. Moreover, ex situ attenuated total reflectance (ATR) FT–IR measurements clearly showed the existence of C―O bonds, also proving the successful functionalization by the surfactant, built permanently into the redox active films.     

Difference in micellar properties of sodium dodecyl sulfonate from sodium 4-decyl naphthalene sulfonate in D2O solution studied by 1H NMR relaxation and 2D NOESY

¹H chemical shift changes of sodium 4-decyl naphthalene sulfonate (SDNS) at 313 K show that its critical micellar concentration lies between 0.82 and 0.92 mmol/dm³, which is in the same range as that of the previous study at 298 K. The spin–lattice relaxation time, spin–spin relaxation time and two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy experiments give information about the structure of the SDNS micelle and the dynamics of the molecules in the micelle. The size of the SDNS micelle remains almost unchanged in the temperature range from 298 to 313 K as deduced by analyzing the self-diffusion coefficient. Special arrangement of the naphthyl rings of SDNS in the micelles affects the packing of these hydrophobic chains. The methylene groups of the alkyl chain nearest the naphthalene groups penetrate into the aromatic region, which results in a more tightly packed hydrophobic micellar core than that of sodium dodecyl sulfonate.

Properties of polyethylene glycol supported tetraarylporphyrin in aqueous solution and its interaction with liposomal membranes

5,10,15,20-Tetrakis(4-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin was functionalized by covalent attachment of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) chains of various molecular weights, 350, 2000, and 5000 Da. The properties of PEG-functionalized tetraarylporphyrins in aqueous solution and their interactions with liposomes have been studied. Electronic absorption spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, atomic force microscopy, and fluorescence quenching were used to monitor aggregation of porphyrin chromophores and behavior of the attached PEG chains in the aqueous solution. The tendency for aggregation of porphyrin chromophores in aqueous solution and the efficiency of fluorescence quenching by KI decrease with increasing length of PEG chain linked to the porphyrin ring. The experimental results indicate that polymer clusters are present in aqueous solution of all pegylated porphyrins. The interactions between the pegylated porphyrins and phosphatidylcholine liposomes in the aqueous solution were studied using the fluorescence methods. The apparent binding constants of porphyrin chromophores to liposomes were determined. The degree of binding was found to be dependent on the molecular weight of the attached polymer.     

Synthesis of polycyclic fused 2-quinolones in aqueous micellar system

A high yielding green protocol has been developed for the synthesis of tri-, tetra-, and pentacyclic fused 2-quinolones in micellar medium. The method is more effective compared to phase-transfer catalytic (PTC) method in terms of the yield of the product as well as the reaction time. It is operationally simple as well as environmentally benign.     

A comparison study between sodium dodecyl sulfate and sodium dodecyl sulfonate with respect to the thermodynamic properties,micellization, and interaction with poly(ethylene glycol) in aqueous solutions

The density, sound velocity, and conductivity measurements were performed on aqueous solutions of sodium dodecyl sulfate (C₁₂H₂₅SO₄Na) or sodium dodecyl sulfonate (C₁₂H₂₅SO₃Na) in the absence and presence of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) at different temperatures. Changes in the apparent molar volumes and isentropic compressibilities upon micellization were derived using a pseudophase-transition approach and the infinite dilution apparent molar properties of the monomer and micellar form of C₁₂H₂₅SO₄Na and C₁₂H₂₅SO₃Na were determined. Variations of the critical micelle concentrations (CMCs) of both surfactants in the solutions investigated with temperature were obtained from which thermodynamic parameters of micellization were estimated. It was found that at low temperature the micelle formation process is endothermic and therefore, this process must be entropically driven. However, upon increasing the temperature, the enthalpic factor becomes more significant and, at temperatures higher than 303.15 K the micellization is enthalpy driven. The interactions between C₁₂H₂₅SO₄Na/C₁₂H₂₅SO₃Na and PEG were studied and it was found that sodium alkyl sulfonates were seen to interact more weakly than their sulfate analogues.
