QSPR study on GC relative retention time of organic pesticides on different chromatographic columns

In the present study, Lu index and distance-based atom type topological index (DAI) previously developed in our team, were introduced and combined with molecular electronegativity chi ep to characterize quantitative structure-property relationship of GC relative retention time (RRT) for several types of structurally diverse organic pesticides on the four kinds of chromatographic columns. Using multiple linear regression technique, four several-variable models are obtained with the estimations correlation coefficient (R(2)) being between 0.9655 and 0.9285, and the correlation coefficient (R(2)cv) in the leave-one-out cross-validation procedure are between 0.9560 and 0.9143, respectively. The results in this study indicate that the three topological indices Lu index, DAI, and molecular electronegativity chi ep can predict the gas chromatographic RRT of organic pesticides with diverse hetero-atoms.

On the Topological Sub-Structural Molecular Design (TOSS-MODE) in QSPR/QSAR and Drug Design Research

Abstract

A recently introduced graph-theoretical approach to the study of structure-property-activity relationships is presented. The theoretical approach and the computational strategy for the use of the TOSS-MODE approach are given with details. Several QSPR and QSAR applications are reviewed including the study of physical properties of organic compounds, diamagnetic susceptibilities, and biological properties. The applications of the TOSS-MODE approach to discrimination of active/inactive compounds, the virtual screening of compounds with a desired property from databases of chemical structures, identification of active/inactive fragments and its relationships with 2D/3D pharmacophores, and to the design of novel compounds with desired biological activities are also reviewed.     

The thermal and photostability of solid pharmaceuticals

Drugs degrade to different extents on separate exposure to heat, moisture, oxidation and light. Combination of these stresses causes very complex behaviour. Many studies have been reported of the thermal behaviour of drugs in the solid-state, but most of the information available on the photodegradation of drugs refers to reactions in solution, (usually aqueous) and photoreactions in the solid-state are even more complex. In drug formulations, the presence of excipients adds further complications because the excipients may increase, have no effect on, or decrease the inherent stabilities of the drug. The literature has been explored to review the thermal and photostabilities of solid pharmaceuticals. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Ultraviolet Photo-Induced Fluorescence Followed by Laser Excitation (UV-PIF-LE) for the Determination of Pesticides in Natural Waters

Abstract

A new method was developed for determining trace amounts of pesticides, using an ultraviolet (UV) lamp to obtain photo-induced fluorescent (PIF) compounds, and then using laser excitation (LE) by a tunable source to excite and simultaneously characterize their fluorescence over a short acquisition time using an intensified charge-coupled device camera. This new UV-PIF-LE method was applied to determine isoproturon, oxadiazon, and fipronil in natural waters. This approach represents an improvement on the previously published direct laser photo-induced fluorescent (DL-PIF) approach that utilized the inclusion of a supplementary UV irradiation device in the experimental setup, permitting the separation of the formation and detection steps for the PIF analytes. This evolution improves the selectivity and increases the sensitivity while maintaining a short analysis time. The UV-PIF-LE method gave very good results with satisfactory analytical performance for the determination of the selected pesticides. This approach also demonstrated good reproducibility, with relative square deviation values between 3.3% and 6.3%, for spiked river water and seawater samples with detection limits in the ng mL^?1 range.
