Interactions and influence of α-cyclodextrin on the aggregation and interfacial properties of mixtures of nonionic and zwitterionic surfactants

The interactions of α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) with the nonionic surfactant decanoyl-N-methyl-glucamide (Mega-10) and the zwitterionic surfactant dimethyldodecylammoniopropanesulfonate (DPS) in their mixed system have been studied using interfacial tension, fluorescence, and nuclear magnetic resonance measurements. From the plots of interfacial tension vs. log of total surfactant concentration, we have obtained values of the surface excess of surfactant, the critical micellar concentration (cmc), the standard free energy of micelle formation, and association constant of surfactant/α-CD inclusion complexes (assuming a 1:1 stoichiometry). A comparison of the K _a values obtained for the interaction between α-CD and DPS and Mega-10, respectively, shows that DPS interacts stronger with α-CD than Mega-10. The experimental mixed cmc was analyzed by the pseudophase separation model and regular solution theory for the evaluation of ideality or nonideality of the mixed micelle formation. The interaction parameters in the mixed micelle and the micelle composition at different mole fractions of DPS were also computed. The fluorescence anisotropy (r) values of rhodamine B decreases with the increase of α-CD concentrations.

Synthesis and Characterization of ABBA Block Copolymer of Glycolide and ε-Caprolactone

A biodegradable ABBA block copolymer was synthesized via the ring-opening co-polymerization of ε-caprolactone(CL, B) and glycolide(A) by means of step polymerization in the presence of ethylene glycol as an initiator and stannous octanoate as a catalyst at 110 ℃ for 48 h. The molecular length of the PCL pre-polymer(BB) could be adjusted by controlling the molar ratio of the ethylene glycol initiator to ε-caprolactone monomer. The structure and the composition of the block copolymer were determined by the weight ratio of the monomer glycolide(A) to PCL pre-polymer(BB). The block copolymers were characterized by 1H NMR, GPC, DSC and X-ray. The results confirm the successful synthesis of an ABBA block copolymer.

Donor-Acceptor Oligomers and Polymers Composed of Benzothiadiazole and 3-Hexylthiophene： Effect of Chain Length and Regioregularity

A series of donor-acceptor oligomer OBTThn （n = 1- 7） and polymer PBTThl and PBTTh2 composed of al- ternative 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole and 3-hexylthiophene have been designed and synthesized for the purpose of in- vestigation on the effect of chain length and side-chain regioregularity on their basic properties and photovoltaic performance. In the OBTThn oligomers and PBTThl polymer, all the hexyl side chains on thienyl units orient to- ward the same direction. Upon elongation of the chain length, the intramolecular charge transfer （ICT） absorption band in solution gradually redshifts from 398 nm for OBTThl to 505 nm for OBTThT, then to 512 nm for PBTThl polymer. Meanwhile, the HOMO energy level increases from -5.45 eV （OBTTh0 to -5.08 eV （OBTThT） and -5.09 eV （PBTThl）, and the LUMO energy level decreases from -3.11 eV （OBTTh0 to -3.30 eV （OBTThT） and -3.33 eV （PBTThl）, thus giving a smaller and smaller energy bandgap for higher oligomers and polymers. Theo- retical calculation suggests straight line-like backbone geometry for this series of oligomers and polymer. On the other hand, polymer PBTTh2 possesses a different side-chain regioregularity, in which every two neighbor hexyl side chains are arranged in different orienting direction. It is theoretically suggested to have curved line-like back- bone geometry. In solution, it shows similar photophysical and electrochemical properties as PBTThl. However in film state, it displays a less redshift in the ICT band as refer to that in solution than PBTThl. In combination with [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester （PC61BM）, these oligomers and polymers were used as donor material to fabricate organic bulk heterojunction solar cells. Again, chain length-dependent device photovoltaic performance was observed. The device based on OBTTh4 showed a power conversion efficiency of 0.16%, while it increased to 0.36% and 0.49% for the devices based on OBTTh6 and PBTThb respectively. However, the side-chain regio- regularity has less influence on the device photovoltaic output since the device based on PBTTh~ displayed an effi- ciency of 0.52%, comparable to that of PBTThl.

Spectral and Electrochemical Investigation of Intercalations of Adrenaline and CT－DNA

A strong interaction between double stranded calf-thymus DNA (ds-DNA) and adrenaline in solution, but no interaction between single stranded calf-thymus DNA (ss-DNA) and adrenaline was observed by the use of UV-visible spectroscopy and voltammetric techniques. It is suggested that the interaction leads to an intercalation of adrenaline molecules into the groove of ds-DNA and the formation of ds-DNA (adrenallne)n complex. The binding site size of the interaction of adrenaline with CT-DNA in nucleotide phosphate [ NP] has been determined as 25. The interaction of different concentration adrenaline with DNA modified GCE shows that the DNA modified GCE can be a good tool to detect lower concentration adrenaline.     

Fluorometric Investigation of the Acid-Base and Complexation Behaviour of Tetracycline and Oxytetracycline

The widely used antibiotics tetracyclines have been effectively used for ailing heart attack, ulcer cure and gene therapy. The actual mechanism of their activity has been proposed to link with the complexes with many metal ions.However, the sites at which complex formation takes place are not well established. In the present work, the deprotonation sequence of tetracycline (TC) and oxytetracycline (OTC), and their specific group used to bind europium ion were investigated by examining the character of fluorescence of TC and OTC as well as that of their complexes.It was concluded that the site of complexation is coordinated with the deprotonation sequence changing with the acidity/basicity of the solution. And it was inferred that five hydrogens in TC and OTC could be dissociated. The deprotonation sequence is as follows: C(3) hydroxy, C(10) phenol, C(4) dimethylamine, C(12) hydroxy and C(12a) hydroxy. The corresponding complexation site changed with pH increase in solution as follows: C(2) acylamino and C(3) hydroxy moiety, C(10)-C(11) ketophenol moiety, C(4) dimethylamine and C(3) hydroxy moiety,C(11)-C(12)β-diketone moiety, C(12) hydroxy and C(12a) hydroxy moiety, and C(12) hydroxy and C(1) ketonemoiety respectively.

Synthesis Characterization and Viscosity Studies of Homopolymer of Methyl Methacrylate and Copolymer of Methyl Methacrylate and Styrene

A homopolymer of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and its copolymer with styrene at different compositions were synthesized and characterized. Viscosity measurements of the synthesized homopolymer and the copolymers in toluene solutions were performed at 313 K. Different equations were used to calculate the intrinsic viscosity, viscometric constants values, and molecular weight of the synthesized polymers. The values of intrinsic viscosity and viscosity average molecular weight obtained by the two methods (single point determination and graphical extrapolation) were compared in order to verify the validity of the single point determination for the polymers. Viscometric properties derived included the specific viscosity (it determines the contribution of the solute to the viscosity of the solution), the reduced viscosity (that provides a measure of the polymer capacity for increasing the solution viscosity), and the intrinsic viscosity.

Preparation and antibacterial activity of aromatic derivatives of β-aminopropionic and γ-aminobutyric acid

Ten aromatic derivatives of β-aminopropionic acid and γ-aminobutyric acid were prepared.Their compositions and structures were identified by elemental analysis,IR,and 1H NMR.They have been examined for their antibacterial action against Staphylococcua aurens and Escherichia coli.These compounds showed higher activity than the aromatic derivatives of ct-amino acid which were reported previously.The general conclusion to be drawn is that the distance between amino and carboxylic group in these molecules could affect their antibacterial activity.Furthermore,those compounds with p-methyl substituent in phenyl ring exhibit higher activity than the others,and all the compounds exhibit higher activity against Escherichia coli and against Staphylococcua aureus.     

Design, Synthesis and Investigation of Bone Affinity of the Conjugates of 5-Fluorouracil and Hydroxybisphosphonate

Bone tumor, as a common disease, is treated by surgical resection, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is one of the most important treatment, however, a major problem of chemotherapy is lack of selectivity of cytotoxic drugs. Although many attempts have been made to increase the selectivity of therapeutic drugs for the bone diseases, such as osteoporosis, paget’s, hypercalcemia and bone metastases by conjugating them with targeting carriers1-4, there are still no bone-targeting agent…
