A facile method to synthesize various 1,2-disubstituted benzimidazoles is developed. It is suggested that formation of a Meisenheimer adduct between the substrate, amine, and solvent aids the N-arylation process. The generality of the protocol is demonstrated by the efficient reactions involving numerous substituents ranging from electron-withdrawing groups to electron-donating groups. 相似文献
The COVID-19 outbreak continues to spread worldwide at a rapid rate. Currently, the absence of any effective antiviral treatment is the major concern for the global population. The reports of the occurrence of various point mutations within the important therapeutic target protein of SARS-CoV-2 has elevated the problem. The SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro) is a major therapeutic target for new antiviral designs. In this study, the efficacy of PF-00835231 was investigated (a Mpro inhibitor under clinical trials) against the Mpro and their reported mutants. Various in silico approaches were used to investigate and compare the efficacy of PF-00835231 and five drugs previously documented to inhibit the Mpro. Our study shows that PF-00835231 is not only effective against the wild type but demonstrates a high affinity against the studied mutants as well. 相似文献

Benzoyl peroxide (BPO) is primarily used in the treatment of mild to moderate acne. However, its application is associated with skin irritation. It has been shown that encapsulation and controlled release of BPO could reduce the side effect while also reducing percutaneous absorption when administered to the skin. The aim of the present investigation was to design and formulate an appropriate encapsulated form of BPO, using microsponge technology, and explore the parameters affecting the morphology and other characteristics of the resultant products employing scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Benzoyl peroxide particles were prepared using an emulsion solvent diffusion method by adding an organic internal phase containing benzoyl peroxide, ethyl cellulose and dichloromethane into a stirred aqueous phase containing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). Different concentrations of BPO microsponges were incorporated in lotion formulations and the drug release from these formulations were studied. The SEM micrographs of the BPO microsponges enabled measurement of their size and showed that they were spherical and porous. Results showed that the morphology and particle size of microsponges were affected by drug:polymer ratio, stirring rate and the amount of emulsifier used. The results obtained also showed that an increase in the ratio of drug:polymer resulted in a reduction in the release rate of BPO from the microsponges. The release data showed that the highest and the lowest release rates were obtained from lotions containing plain BPO particles and BPO microsponges with the drug:polymer ratio of 13:1, respectively. The kinetics of release study showed that the release data followed Peppas model and the main mechanism of drug release from BPO microsponges was diffusion. 相似文献
Multiwalled carbon nanotubes were exposed to hydrothermal treatment for obtaining graphene oxide nanoribbons (GONRs). The fabricated graphene oxide nanoribbons have been morphologically and compositionally characterized via FE-SEM, XRD, and FT-IR techniques. The as-synthesized GONRs have been used as sorbent phase for headspace solid-phase microextraction of phthalate esters (PEs) from aqueous solutions. In this regard, the GC–FID analysis route has been used for quantification of PEs. The new SPME fiber shows remarkable analytical figures of merit including broad dynamic linear ranges, low limits of detection, as well as good stability and reasonable relative standard deviations for evaluation of PEs. The linearity of the method for analysis of PEs including DnBP, DnPP, DEHP, DEHA, BBP, and DMP was between the range of 0.05–100, 0.05–100, 0.1–100, 0.1–100, 0.2–100, and 0.5–100 μg L?1, respectively. The limits of detection (based on S/N?=?3) and correlation coefficients were found to be in the range of 0.02–0.2 μg L?1 and 0.9907–0.9952, correspondingly. The prepared GONR-coated SPME fiber shows larger extraction yield in comparison to pristine MWNTs and commercial PDMS SPME fibers. Furthermore, real sample analysis showed that there is no significant matrix effect for evaluation of PEs from environmental water samples and proposed method could be used for evaluation and determination of PEs from aqueous samples in a precise and accurate manner. The existence of functional groups, π–π interactions, as well as hydrogen bonding between adsorbent phase and PE analytes could be the reason for observing such a high extraction yield.

A simple and highly sensitive method developed for preconcentration and spectrophotometric determination of ultra trace amounts of azide ion (N3?) in water and biological samples using dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) technique. The method is based on ion association formation of azide ion with malachite green and extraction of the ion pairing product using DLLME technique. Some important parameters, such as reaction conditions and the kind and volume of extraction solvent and disperser solvent were studied and optimized. The calibration curve was linear in the range of 0.5–50 μg/L of azide ion. Also, the enrichment factor and extraction recovery obtained were 24.7 and 98.7%, respectively. The method was applied to the determination of azide ion in water and biological samples. 相似文献
