Isoflavones of the roots of Lupinus luteus

Conclusions For the first time in the isoflavone series, a compound which has the structure of 5,7-dihydroxy-3,4-methylenedioxyisoflavone (3,4-methylenedioxyorobol) and two of its glucosides — 3,4-methylenedioxyorobol 7-O--D-glucoside and 3,4-methylenedioxyorobol 7-O--D-glucosylglucoside — and also a genistein C-monoglucoside, have been described. The isoflavones were isolated from the roots ofLupinus luteus L. by preparative chromatography on paper and on columns of polyamide. In addition, the previously known genistein, genistein 7-O--D-glucoside (genistin), and genistein 7-O--D-glucosylglucoside have been obtained.V. F.

Analysis of complex thermoanalytical curves: The thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of isopropylammonium nitrate

A method is presented to determine thermodynamic and kinetic parameters from complex thermoanalytical curves. Such curves are obtained when thermoanalytical events like phase transition and chemical decomposition overlap.Isopropylammonium nitrate was taken as an example to demonstrate how these parameters were determined from non-isothermal TG and DSC curves by constructing DSC-DTG sum curves.

Use of differential calorimetry for characterization of hydration processes in the system Ca4(Al6O12) (SO4)-CaSO4.2H2O-H2O

Differential calorimetry was used to determine the heat evolution and kinetics of hydration processes of the calciumsulphatealuminate phase Ca₄(Al₆O₁₂)(SO₄) with gypsum CaSO₄ · 2H₂O at room temperature with one mole of water added to the solid phase. An increasing content of sulphate ions in the sytem results in substitution of the monosulphate Ca₄(Al₂O₆)(SO₄) · 12H₂O in the reaction products by ettringite, Ca₆(Al₂O₆)(SO₄)₃ · 32H₂O. Higher contents of ettringite influence the rates of hydration reactions and the values of the evolved heat.

Chemical properties of bile acids: III. Bile acid structure and solubility in water

The temperature dependence of the solubilities in water at pH 3.00 of a representative series of ten cholanoic acids (bile acids) were measured over the temperature range 10 to 50°C. The solubilities ranged from 5×10^–8M for 3-hydroxy-5-cholanoic acid (lithocholic acid) to 2×10^–3M for 3-7-12-trihydroxy-5-cholanoic acid (ursocholic acid). The solubilities increased with temperature and were found to be dependent on the number, position, and orientation of the hydroxyl groups. The hydroxyl groups affect solubility both by forming hydrogen bonds with the solvent and by reducing the hydrophobic area of the steroid nucleus. The enthalpic H⁰ and entropic S⁰ contributions to ⁰ associated with the dissolution process were obtained from the temperature dependence of the solubilities. A qualitative interpretation of the thermodynamic parameters in relation to bile acid structure is also presented.
