Synthesis and characterization of new acyclic nucleosides analogues derived from 2-phenyl quinoline candidates

Reaction of 4-substituted quinoline hydrazide with some aldohexoses and aldopentoses gave a series of new N-β-glycosides. The following cyclization of N-β-glycosides with acetic anhydride led to O-acetyl-[5-(2-phenylquinolin-4-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]-D-glycosides. Structure of the newly synthesized products was elucidated by chemical and spectroscopic methods.     

New Potentiometric Sensor for the Determination of Bromate Ion in Drinking Water

The characteristics, performance and application of ion‐selective electrodes for bromate ion based on rhodamine B and tetrahexyl ammonium bromide as electrode‐active substances are described for the first time. These electrodes respond with sensitivities of (58.0±1.0) and (61.0±2.0) mV decade^?1 over the range 1.0×10^?8–1.0×10^?2 mol l^?1 at pH 4–9 and 4–8 and a detection limit of 6.0×10^?8 and 4.0×10^?8 mol l^?1 for rhodamine B and tetrahexyl ammonium bromide sensors, respectively. The electrodes are easily constructed at a relatively low cost, have a fast response time and can be used for a period of 3 months without any considerable divergence in potential. The proposed sensors displayed good selectivity for bromate ion in the presence of several substances and inorganic anions. Sensors were used for the direct assay of bromate ion in drinking water samples.     

Voltammetric Determination of Oxybutynin Hydrochloride Utilizing Pencil Graphite Electrode Decorated with Gold Nanoparticles

A novel voltammetric method was successfully applied for the determination of an anticholinergic drug, oxybutynin hydrochloride (OXB). The method is concerned with electrooxidation of the drug on the surface of pencil graphite electrode (PGE). In order to enhance the electrode sensitivity and peak current, the electrode was coated with gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) via electrochemical deposition using cyclic voltammetry from gold salt solution. The surface of Au-NPs modified PGE has been characterized using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Various experimental variables were studied and optimized to enhance the sensor's response towards OXB. Quantitative determination of the drug was achieved in phosphate buffer pH 7.5 using differential pulse voltammetry by scanning the potential over range of 0.00 to 2.20 V with scan rate of 40 mV s⁻¹. Validation of the method was achieved according to ICH guidelines. The method was found to be linear over concentration range (2.0×10⁻⁷–1.0×10⁻⁶ M). The suggested sensor was efficiently developed for the quantitative determination of OXB in pure form, pharmaceutical dosage form and spiked plasma samples.     

Antianexiety activity of pyridine derivatives synthesized from 2-chloro-6-hydrazino-isonicotinic acid hydrazide

A series of oxadiazole pyridine derivatives were synthesized by using 2-chloro-6-hydrazinoisonicotinic acid hydrazide as starting material. Treatment of the hydrazide with carbon disulfide to afford the oxadiazole derivative, which was treated with 5-methyl-2-furancarbaldehyde, formic acid, acetic acid/acetic anhydride, or phthalic anhydride to yield the corresponding pyridinodiazoles and on imide. Condensation of the hydrazide with p-fluorobenzaldehyde in ethanol or acetic acid in the presence of sodium acetate afforded hydrazone and oxadiazole derivatives, which were acetylated and cyclized with acetic anhydride to N-acetyloxadiazole derivatives. The hydrazone was treated with acetic acid in the presence of sodium acetate, or bromine water/sodium acetate to give on oxadiazole, while it was cyclized with chloroacetyl chloride in the presence of TEA to oxoazetidinaminoisonicotinamide. Finally, condensation of the hydrazide with acid anhydrides in refluxing glacial acetic acid afforded the corresponding bisimide derivatives. The pharmacological screening showed that many of these obtained compounds have good antianexiety activity comparable to diazepam^® as positive control.
