The high cost of the bridging liquid subdues the implementation and commercialization of oil agglomeration process. To overcome this problem, waste oils from different sectors were used in this present study. The performance of the process was assessed based on the responses like ash rejection and organic matter recovery. The aim of the present study was to investigate the usage of waste oils from different sectors and to optimize and analyze the behavioral pattern showcased by different variables (pulp density, oil dosage, agglomeration time and oil type) using response surface methodology (Box-Behnken design). Experimental investigation shows that the optimum pulp density, oil dosage, agglomeration time and oil type condition obtained as 3%, 15%, 15?min and waste engine oil, respectively. At optimum condition, the % ash rejection and % organic matter recovery obtained as 63.94% and 81.8%, respectively. 相似文献
An alarming requirement for finding newer antidiabetic glitazones as agonists to PPARγ are on its utmost need from past few years as the side effects associated with the available drug therapy is dreadful. In this context, herein, we have made an attempt to develop some novel glitazones as PPARγ agonists, by rational and computer aided drug design approach by implementing the principles of bioisosterism. The designed glitazones are scored for similarity with the developed 3D pharmacophore model and subjected for docking studies against PPARγ proteins. Synthesized by adopting appropriate synthetic methodology and evaluated for in vitro cytotoxicity and glucose uptake assay. Illustrations about the molecular design of glitazones, synthesis, analysis, glucose uptake activity and SAR via 3D QSAR studies are reported.
Results
The computationally designed and synthesized ligands such as 2-(4-((substituted phenylimino)methyl)phenoxy)acetic acid derivatives were analysed by IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and MS-spectral techniques. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxicity and glucose uptake assay on 3T3-L1 and L6 cells. Further the activity data was used to develop 3D QSAR model to establish structure activity relationships for glucose uptake activity via CoMSIA studies.
Conclusion
The results of pharmacophore, molecular docking study and in vitro evaluation of synthesized compounds were found to be in good correlation. Specifically, CPD03, 07, 08, 18, 19, 21 and 24 are the candidate glitazones exhibited significant glucose uptake activity. 3D-QSAR model revealed the scope for possible further modifications as part of optimisation to find potent anti-diabetic agents.
Costus speciosus had been used in oriental systems of medicines, to treat diverse ailments. The present study was focused on NMR, GC-MS and UPLC/ESI-MS/MS-based metabolic profiling of C. speciosus. This metabolic study resulted in the identification of 91 and quantification of 69 metabolites. Caffeic acid derivatives previously unreported in C. speciosus were also identified. High quantity of steroidal saponins namely methyl protogracillin (297.97 ± 0.07 mg/g dried wt.) and dioscin (158.72 ± 0.27 mg/g dried wt.) were observed in butanol fraction of rhizomes. Health care metabolites including caffeic acid (37.88 ± 0.04 mg/g dried wt.) and trehalose (75.12 ± 0.08 mg/g dried wt.) were also detected in ethyl acetate and aqueous fractions of rhizomes, respectively. Metabolites of nutraceutical and biological significance including eremanthine (5.14 ± 0.68%, peak area), tocopherols (~22%), sterols (~25%) were also identified from hexane fractions of rhizomes and leaves using GC-MS. The analytical techniques used had successfully differentiated metabolites composition among leaves and rhizomes. 相似文献

A simple, precise, and accurate HPLC method has been developed and validated for assay of ezetimibe in tablets and for determination
of content uniformity. Reversed-phase liquid chromatographic separation was achieved by use of phosphoric acid (0.1%, v/v)–acetonitrile 50:50 (v/v) as mobile phase. The method was validated for specificity, linearity, precision, accuracy, robustness, and solution stability.
The specificity of the method was determined by assessing interference from the placebo and by stress testing of the drug
(forced degradation). Response was a linear function of drug concentration in the range 20–80 μg mL−1 (r = 0.9999). Intraday and interday system and method precision were determined. Accuracy was between 100.8 and 102.7%. The
method was found to be robust, and was suitable for assay of ezetimibe in a tablet formulation and for determination of content
uniformity.

This paper describes development and validation of a high-performance liquid chromatographic method for simultaneous analysis of tramadol hydrochloride (TR) and aceclofenac (AC) in a tablet formulation. When the combination formulation was subjected to ICH-recommended stress conditions, adequate separation of TR, AC, and the degradation products formed was achieved on a C18 column with 65:35 (v/v) 0.01 M ammonium acetate buffer, pH 6.5—acetonitrile as mobile phase at a flow rate of 1 mL min?1. UV detection was performed at 270 nm. The method was validated for specificity, linearity, LOD and LOQ, precision, accuracy, and robustness. The method was specific against placebo interference and also during forced degradation. The linearity of the method was investigated in the concentration ranges 15–60 μg mL?1 (r = 0.9999) for TR and 40–160 μg mL?1 (r = 0.9999) for AC. Accuracy was between 98.87 and 99.32% for TR and between 98.81 and 99.49% for AC. Because degradation products were well separated from the parent compounds, the method was stability-indicating. 相似文献
Density functional theory (DFT) of freezing is used to study the isotropic–nematic, isotropic–smectic A and nematic–smectic A phase transitions in a system of large, semi-flexible conjugated oligomers parameterised within Gay–Berne (GB) potential. The pair correlation functions of the isotropic fluid, used as structural inputs in the DFT, are calculated by solving the Percus–Yevick integral equation theory. Large number of spherical harmonic coefficients of each orientation-dependent functions has been considered to ensure the numerical accuracy at different densities and temperatures for the system of these model GB ellipsoids having large aspect ratio (length-to-breadth ratio). We found that the system of GB ellipsoids parameterised for conjugated oligomers shows stable isotropic, nematic and smectic A phases. At low temperatures, on increasing the density, isotropic fluid makes a direct transition to smectic A phase. Nematic phase get stabilised in between the isotropic and smectic A phases on increasing the temperature. Using the transition parameter obtained through the DFT, we have plotted the temperature–density and pressure–temperature phase diagrams which are found to be qualitatively similar to the one obtained in simulations for the systems with low aspect ratio GB particles. 相似文献
