AlPO4 as catalyst in organic reactions. IV. Transesterification of methyl methacrylate

Coke deposition on monometallic Pt, Re, Ir, Ge and Sn catalysts supported on -Al₂O₃, and its influence on activity and selectivity over methylcyclopentene reforming was studied. As a result the effect can be interpreted in terms of metal-support interactions that modify the overall catalytic deactivation rates.

Evaluation of the Compression Behavior of Paracetamol Tablets Produced by Dispersion in β-Cyclodextrin. Part I: Scanning Electron Microscopic Study of Tablets

The compression behaviour of three powder products of Paracetamol–-cyclodextrin solid dispersions (PAR--CD SD) and PAR alone were evaluated using the method of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The four powder products were: PAR, PAR–-CD physical mixture, kneaded solid dispersion of PAR–-CD and spray dried solid dispersion of PAR–-CD (PAR–-CD ratio of 1 : 1 w/w). By observing the surface, side and broken surface of each tablet sample under different magnifications the compression behaviour, mechanism of consolidation and deformability of particles were evaluated. PAR alone and the PAR–-CD physical mixture were compressed by the brittle fracture mechanism; the PAR–-CD kneaded solid dispersion showed a good plastical deformation. With PAR–-CD spray dried solid dispersion a good plastic deformation and mechanism of cool sintering were postulated. The influence of -CD on the compression behavior of the PAR was proved. The results obtained by the SEM method are well correlated with physicopharmaceutical parameters (crushing strength, disintegration time, friability, elastic recovery and tensile strength) of the tablets.

Comparative study on inclusion complexations of antiinflammatory drug flurbiprofen with β-cyclodextrin and methylated β-cyclodextrins

Abstruct Some physicochemical properties of methylated -cyclodextrins, i.e., heptakis(2,6-di-O-methyl)--cyclodextrin (DM--CyD) and heptakis(2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)--cyclodextrin (TM--CyD) were compared with those of natural -cyclodextrin (-CyD). Inclusion behaviors of -CyD and methylated -CyDs in water and in solid state were studied by solubility analysis, spectroscopies (UV, CD,¹³C-NMR and IR), X-ray diffractometry and thermal analysis, using an antiinflammatory drug flurbiprofen (FP) as a guest molecule. The spectral data suggest that the inclusion mode of FP-TM--CyD is somewhat different from those of FP--CyD and FP-DM--CyD. The solid complexes of FP with - and methylated -CyDs were obtained in molar ratio of 11, and their dissolution behavior and release from suppository base were examined. The data are presented suggesting that DM--CyD is particularly useful for improving the pharmaceutical properties of FP in various dosage forms.

Thermal analysis of heterocyclic thione donor complexes. Part 1

The thermal decomposition of the Co(II) complexes of 1-methylimidazoline-2(3H)-thione (MImt), general formula Co(MImt)₂X₂ (X=Cl, Br & I), have been studied in air and argon by means of TG and DTG as well as in nitrogen by DTA. Quantitative DTA has been used to derive reaction enthalpies (H _R) from the melting and decomposition endotherms in nitrogen. Decomposition processes have been proposed for the complexes in air and in inert atmospheres. A mean coordinate bond dissociation energy (¯D) has been estimated for the Co-MImt bond in Co(MImt)₂Cl₂.Reaction end products in air have been identified by X-ray powder diffraction.
