A gradient liquid chromatographic (LC) method for control of emtricitabine (FTC) was validated for the analysis of FTC formulations (capsules and oral solution) and fixed-dose-combination tablets containing FTC [FTC combined with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and FTC combined with TDF and efavirenz (EFV)]. The method is based on the purity test recently prescribed in the International Pharmacopoeia and uses a Hypersil BDS C18 column (25 cm × 4.6 mm i.d.), 5 μm kept at a temperature of 35 °C. Other reversed-phase columns were also investigated. The mobile phases for gradient elution consist of acetonitrile, phosphate buffer and water. The flow rate is 1.0 mL min−1 and UV detection is performed at 280 nm. The method is capable of separating the main components from one another, from the inactive ingredients and from the main degradation products. The method was validated with respect to accuracy, precision, sensitivity and linearity for each component and the solution media were optimized. Finally, commercial FTC capsules, FTC oral solution, FTC/TDF tablets and FTC/TDF/EFV tablets were examined.
In studying well-characterized, exchange-biased Fe(3)O(4)/CoO superlattices, we demonstrate a causal link between the exchange bias effect and the perpendicular coupling of the ferrimagnetic and antiferromagnetic spins. Neutron diffraction studies reveal that for thin CoO layers the onset temperature for exchange biasing T(B) matches the onset of locked-in, preferential perpendicular coupling of the spins, rather than the antiferromagnetic ordering temperature T(N). The results are explained by considering the role of anisotropic exchange first proposed by Dzyaloshinsky and Moriya and developing a model based purely on information on structural defects and exchange for these oxides. The devised mechanism provides a general explanation of biasing in systems with perpendicular coupling. 相似文献
Lewis acid mediated substitution reactions using [D]triethylsilane as a nucleophile at the anomeric center of the four pentofuranoses, ribose, arabinose, xylose, and lyxose, all proceed with good to excellent stereoselectivity to provide the 1,2‐cis adducts. To unravel the stereoelectronic effects underlying the striking stereoselectivity in these reactions we have mapped the energy landscapes of the complete conformational space of the oxocarbenium ions of the four pentofuranoses. The potential energy surface maps provide a detailed picture of the influence of the differently oriented substituents and their mutual interactions on the stability of the oxocarbenium ions and the maps can be used to account for the observed stereoselectivities of the addition reactions. 相似文献
Capillary electrophoresis is a modern separation technique characterized by many benefits, which qualify it also for enzyme assays and the study of enzyme kinetics during drug development. Homogeneous or heterogeneous approaches can be followed for the enzymatic incubation. In this study, an immobilization procedure of aldehyde oxidase on magnetic particles was developed considering their integration with capillary electrophoresis. A number of magnetic nano/microparticle types were tested for this purpose, showing that aldehyde oxidase was most active when immobilized on bare silica magnetic nanoparticles. Primarily, the reusability of the enzyme immobilized on bare silica nanoparticles was tested. Three consecutive incubations with substrate could be performed, but the activity considerably dropped after the first incubation. One reason could be an enzyme detachment from the nanoparticles, but no release was detected neither at 4°C nor at 37°C during 5 h. The drop in enzymatic activity observed in consecutive incubations, could also be due to inactivation of the enzyme over time at given temperature. For the immobilized enzyme stored at 4°C, the activity decreased to 83% after 5 h, in contrast with a steep decrease at 37°C to 37%. 相似文献
From the understanding of biological processes and metalloenzymes to the development of inorganic catalysts, electro‐ and photocatalytic systems for fuel generation have evolved considerably during the last decades. Recently, organic and hybrid organic systems have emerged to challenge the classical inorganic structures through their enormous chemical diversity and modularity that led earlier to their success in organic (opto)electronics. This Minireview describes recent advances in the design of synthetic organic architectures and promising strategies toward (solar) fuel synthesis, highlighting progress on materials from organic ligands and chromophores to conjugated polymers and covalent organic frameworks. 相似文献
