Trends in the CNDO/2 molecular orbital study of electronic structure in some neurotransmitter drugs

An investigation of electronic structure in some neurotransmitter drugs has been made using the CNDO/2 semi-empirical molecular orbital method.The electronic structure has been conveniently characterized by the electronic parameters nett atomic population (NAP) and bond index (BI). A variation of these electronic parameters with respect to conformation has been studied and has been found unlikely to exceed 0.1 e in most. cases. Further, the useful extent to which the electronic parameters of some commonly occurring functional groups may be regarded as conformationally invariant has been demonstrated. Also presented are (i) a discussion on the intramolecular close-approach of functional groups — the interaction between terminal —COO^? and ?NH₃⁺ groups of α-ω anaino acids is explicitly considered; (ii) an enquiry into the extension of ‘standard’ (idealized) geometry models in the elucidation of electronic structure.The implication of the results and observations presented here are briefly discussed with reference to classical and quantum structure-activity studies of drug molecules.     

Resonance Raman spectra of 15N enriched metallooctaethylorphyrins. Characterization of the oxidation state marker bands of hemoproteins

Resonance Raman spectra of ¹⁵N enriched metallooctaethylporphyrins [M(OEP) ? ¹⁵N₄] [M = Ni²⁺, Fe³⁺ (high spin), and Fe³⁺ (low spin)] were observed. Polarized Raman lines corresponding to the oxidation state marker band of hemoproteins were observed at 1377 (Ni), 1369 (Fe high spin) and 1372^?1 (Fe low spin) which were shifted to lower frequency from those of the ¹⁴N compounds by 6, 5, and 6 cm^?1, respectively. The vibrational mode for this band was shown to include an appreciable contribution of the C_αN symmetric stretching vibration and to be associated with ca. 0.01 Å of in-phase displacement of the four pyrrole nitrogens toward the metal ion.     

Theoretical study of the inclusion properties of 1,2,4,5-tetra(morpholinocarbonyl)benzene

Molecular inclusion by the new amide host molecule (TMB) has been reconsidered by calculating the crystal stabilization energies for the guest molecules in the TMB + guest system from the simple intermolecular potential functions of Caillet and Claverie. Water, ethylene glycol, methanol, and ethanol have been employed as guest molecules and their relative stabilities have been considered. Water has been found to be the most suitable guest molecule in the TMB + guest system. It also has been found that the guest host interaction is the most important contributor in determining the relative stabilities of the guest molecules in the TMB + guest system, but the guest guest interaction is very important, too. Moreover, the electrostatic interaction has been found to be the most important contributor to the total interaction energy in the TMB + guest system.     

Selective Potentiometric Measurement of Physiologically Significant Thiols

The reaction of benzoquinone with reduced thiol species has been investigated using potentiometric techniques. The specificity of this reaction for thiol functionality has been briefly assessed and the nature of the electrode response has been elucidated. The system has been characterized in terms of selectivity, sensitivity and the efficacy of using the system for the quantification of thiol containing pharmaceuticals has been demonstrated. The simplicity of the detection methodology is shown to markedly contrast alternative thiol detection strategies. The transfer of the technology to a mass production format through the adoption of screen print electrode formats has been achieved and the efficacy of the approach demonstrated. Recovery experiments using captopril and penicillamine in tissue culture as a model analyte system were performed.     

Application of the photoionization detector for the determination of ethanol in aqueous solutions and human breath

A determination of ethanol is described, which is based on a purging system in conjunction with a photoionization detector. With that system a fast and reliable determination of ethanol in aqueous solutions is possible. The system has been used for the analysis of wine. The 3delta-detection limit has been 0.005% ethanol, the relative standard deviation 4.8 to 6.0% and the time constant of the entire analytical system 20 s. The photoionization detector has been also applied to the analysis of artificial and genuine human breath. A comparison with gas-chromatography and non-dispersive IR-detection has been proven the reliability of results.

Deformation of gradient shape as a result of preferential adsorption of solvents in mixed mobile phases

Gradient elution has been studied in typical normal and reversed-phase systems. Deformations of gradient profiles have been evidenced as a result of preferential adsorption of modifiers of the mobile phase. This phenomenon was pronounced in the normal-phase system, for which gradient profiles deviated significantly from those programmed. This influenced the retention and shapes of band profiles of the eluting solute. Hence, in order to predict gradient propagation correctly the adsorption equilibrium of modifiers has been quantified. Moreover, at low modifier content, deformations of band profiles of the solute has been registered as a result of the competitive adsorption in the system solute-modifier. This effect has been predicted by a competitive adsorption model. For the reversed-phase systems the influence of the modifier adsorption on gradient propagation was insignificant for typical mobile phases investigated. Therefore, the work has been focused on gradient predictions in the normal-phase system.     

Perturbation of the chemotactic tumbling of bacteria.

The bacterial sensing system has been studied on three levels. First, a quantitative method has been devised for measuring the "action spectrum" of the bacterium in response to a sudden addition of attractant. Second, a technique has been developed for the rapid isolation of mutants defective in the transmission part of the sensing system. Third, a study of the effects of light on the transmission system reveals two components, one which generates, tumbling and another which inhibits it.     

Application of barycentric method for determination of free energy of liquid monodisperse system accomplishing diffusion

The barycentric method has been applied to determining the thermodynamic potential (the free energy) of a liquid rarefied monodisperse colloid system in which free unstationary diffusion under constant external conditions has been accomplished. Free energy at an arbitrary moment of time has been obtained as a function of horizontal mass center shift toward the cuvette cavity geometrical center of the liquid disperse system investigated. A very good coincidence between the numerical results from the proposed barycentric method and another classical thermodynamic method has been observed.

Infra-red and electronic absorption spectra of 2-bromopyrimidine

The electronic absorption spectrum of 2-bromopyrimidine in the u.v. region has been recorded in vapour phase and in solution phase in different solvents. Only one system has been observed in vapour phase and it has been identified as π* ← n transition. In solution phase two systems have been identified. The system on the longer wavelength side has been identified as corresponding to the one observed in vapour phase while the other one has been assigned to a π* ← π transition. The infrared spectrum of this molecule has also been recorded and analysed. Help of these i.r. data has been taken to analyse the u.v. spectrum of 2-bromopyrimidine, considering the molecule as belonging to C_2υ point group.

It forms eutectic equilibria with boron and B2O3.
