In First Time:Synthesis and Spectroscopic Interpretations of Manganese（Ⅱ）,Nickel（Ⅱ）and Mercury（Ⅱ）Clidinium Bromide Drug Complexes

Clidinium is a synthetic anticholinergic agent which has been shown in experimental and clinical studies to have an antispasmodic and antisecretory effect on the gastrointestinal tract. Inhibits the muscarinic effects of acetylcholine at neurotransmitter sites after parasympathetic ganglia. It is used to treat peptic ulcer disease and to help relieve stomach or stomach cramps or cramps due to abdominal cramps, diverticulitis, and irritable bowel syndrome. Mononuclear complexes of the manganese(Ⅱ), nickel(Ⅱ) and mercury(Ⅱ) with clidinium bromide drug (C₂₂H₂₆NO₃) types [M(C₂₂H₂₅NO₃)₂(H₂O)₄] and [Hg(C₂₂H₂₅NO₃)₂(H₂O)₂] where M=Mn (Ⅱ) and Ni(Ⅱ), have been synthesized and characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, conductivity measurements, magnetic, electronic, 1H-NMR and infrared spectral studies. The complexes confirm to 1∶2 stoichiometry and are non-electrolytes. The clidinium drug ligand (C₂₂H₂₆NO₃) act as a deprotonated monovalent monodentate chelate coordinating through hydroxyl oxygen where IR spectral bands of clidinium bromide shows a band at 3 226 cm-1 assigned to the OH group stretching frequency, this band ν(O-H) stretching vibration motion is disappeared in case of the infrared spectra of the Mn(Ⅱ), Ni(Ⅱ), and Hg(Ⅱ) complexes suggesting the involvement of the oxygen atom of the deprotonated OH group of clidinium ligand in complexation. The band for the ν(C-O) of alcoholic group of clidinium that appears at 1 240 cm-1 has blue shifted after complexity, indicating the participation of the alcoholic group in the coordination . 1H NMR spectrum for clidinium bromide show a singlet peak at 3.65 ppm due to proton of OH group which isn’t observed in the spectrum of mercury(Ⅱ) complex referring to the deprotonation of OH group and participated in the complexation. Based on electronic spectra, IR spectra and magnetic moment measurements; six coordinated octahedral structures have been proposed for the manganese and nickel(Ⅱ) complexes, while mercury(Ⅱ) complex has a four coordinated geometry. Thermogravimetric analyses studies revealed the presence of coordinated water molecules. For instance the X-ray powder diffraction pattern and scanning electronic microscopy for the Hg(Ⅱ) complex deduced that it was isolated in nanostructured with crystallinity form.     

Development and validation of a stability-indicating RP-HPLC method for the determination of paracetamol with dantrolene or/and cetirizine and pseudoephedrine in two pharmaceutical dosage forms

A stability-indicating reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method has been developed which can separate and accurately quantitate paracetamol, dantrolene, cetirizine and pseudoephedrine. The method was successfully validated for the purpose of conducting stability studies of the four analytes in quality control (QC) laboratories. The stability-indicating capability of the method was demonstrated by adequate separation of these four analytes from all the degradant peaks. A gradient mobile phase system consisting of (A) 50 mmol L⁻¹ sodium dihydrogen phosphate, 5 mmol L⁻¹ heptane sulfonic acid sodium salt, pH 4.2 and (B) acetonitrile was used with Discovery reversed-phase HS C₁₈ analytical column (250 mm × 4.6 mm i.d., 5 μm particle size). Quantitation was achieved with UV detection at 214 nm, based on peak area.The proposed method was validated and successfully applied for the analysis of pharmaceutical formulations and laboratory-prepared mixtures containing the two multicomponent combinations.     

Structure and hydration of the C4H4●+ ion formed by electron impact ionization of acetylene clusters

Here we report ion mobility experiments and theoretical studies aimed at elucidating the identity of the acetylene dimer cation and its hydrated structures. The mobility measurement indicates the presence of more than one isomer for the C(4)H(4)(●+) ion in the cluster beam. The measured average collision cross section of the C(4)H(4)(●+) isomers in helium (38.9 ± 1 A?(2)) is consistent with the calculated cross sections of the four most stable covalent structures calculated for the C(4)H(4)(●+) ion [methylenecyclopropene (39.9 A?(2)), 1,2,3-butatriene (41.1 A?(2)), cyclobutadiene (38.6 A?(2)), and vinyl acetylene (41.1 A?(2))]. However, none of the single isomers is able to reproduce the experimental arrival time distribution of the C(4)H(4)(●+) ion. Combinations of cyclobutadiene and vinyl acetylene isomers show excellent agreement with the experimental mobility profile and the measured collision cross section. The fragment ions obtained by the dissociation of the C(4)H(4)(●+) ion are consistent with the cyclobutadiene structure in agreement with the vibrational predissociation spectrum of the acetylene dimer cation (C(2)H(2))(2)(●+) [R. A. Relph, J. C. Bopp, J. R. Roscioli, and M. A. Johnson, J. Chem. Phys. 131, 114305 (2009)]. The stepwise hydration experiments show that dissociative proton transfer reactions occur within the C(4)H(4)(●+)(H(2)O)(n) clusters with n ≥ 3 resulting in the formation of protonated water clusters. The measured binding energy of the C(4)H(4)(●+)H(2)O cluster, 38.7 ± 4 kJ/mol, is in excellent agreement with the G3(MP2) calculated binding energy of cyclobutadiene(●+)·H(2)O cluster (41 kJ/mol). The binding energies of the C(4)H(4)(●+)(H(2)O)(n) clusters change little from n = 1 to 5 (39-48 kJ/mol) suggesting the presence of multiple binding sites with comparable energies for the water-C(4)H(4)(●+) and water-water interactions. A significant entropy loss is measured for the addition of the fifth water molecule suggesting a structure with restrained water molecules, probably a cyclic water pentamer within the C(4)H(4)(●+)(H(2)O)(5) cluster. Consequently, a drop in the binding energy of the sixth water molecule is observed suggesting a structure in which the sixth water molecule interacts weakly with the C(4)H(4)(●+)(H(2)O)(5) cluster presumably consisting of a cyclobutadiene(●+) cation hydrogen bonded to a cyclic water pentamer. The combination of ion mobility, dissociation, and hydration experiments in conjunction with the theoretical calculations provides strong evidence that the (C(2)H(2))(2)(●+) ions are predominantly present as the cyclobutadiene cation with some contribution from the vinyl acetylene cation.     

Heat conduction across molecular junctions between nanoparticles

We investigate the problem of heat conduction across molecular junctions connecting two nanoparticles, both in vacuum and in a liquid environment, using classical molecular dynamics simulations. In vacuum, the well-known result of a length independent conductance is recovered; its precise value, however, is found to depend sensitively on the overlap between the vibrational spectrum of the junction and the density of states of the nanoparticles that act as thermal contacts. In a liquid environment, the conductance is constant up to a crossover length, above which a standard Fourier regime is recovered.     

Solid phase synthesis of globomycin and SF-1902 A5

The syntheses of the natural lipocyclodepsipeptide-type antibiotics globomycin and SF-1902 A(5) are reported, utilizing solid phase technology for the construction of the peptidic fragment and a new asymmetric methodology of epoxidation for the preparation of the lipidic chain. The linkage between both fragments was successfully achieved in solid phase to complete the syntheses via a macrolactonization reaction executed prior to the cleavage of the acyclic precursors from the solid support. These syntheses provide access to the rapid generation of a library of analogues via modification of the amino acid residues as well as the lipidic chain, thus facilitating the identification of new antibiotics with interesting mechanisms of action based upon the inhibition of the enzyme signal peptidase II.     

Spectroscopic and Conductive Properties of Some Charge Transfer Complexes of Iodine

Abstract

The interaction of iodine with donor bases such as neutral red (NR) and 1, 10 -phenanthroline (Ph) have been studied spectrophotometrically in C₂H₅OH. The results indicate the formation of 2:3 charge transfer complexes of the type (base)₂3I₂. Mass, Raman and ¹H NMR spectra have been recorded for each complex. I₃ ^? and I₂ species are observed in these complexes. In addition, the d.c. conductivity is measured in the range (300–400) K°. The energy gap of the ionic conduction has been calculated. The conduction process is thought to involve iodide transfer between polyanions.     

Gas phase hydration of organic ions

In this work, we study the hydration phenomenon on a molecular level in the gas phase where a selected number of water molecules can interact with the organic ion of interest. The stepwise binding energies (DeltaH degrees (n-1,n)) of 1-7 water molecules to the phenyl acetylene cation are determined by equilibrium measurements using an ion mobility drift cell. The stepwise hydration energies DeltaH degrees (n-1,n) are nearly constant at 39.7 +/- 6.3 kJ mol(-1) from n = 1 to 7. The entropy change is larger in the n = 7 step, suggesting cyclic or cage-like water structures. No water addition is observed on the ionized phenyl acetylene trimer consistent with cyclization of the trimer ion to form triphenyl benzene cations C(24)H(18) (+) which are expected to interact weakly with the water molecules due to steric interactions and the delocalization of the charge on the large organic ion. The work demonstrates that hydration studies of organic ions can provide structural information on the organic ions.     

Epoxyamide-based strategy for the synthesis of polypropionate-type frameworks

A new approach to the stereoselective synthesis of polypropionate-type frameworks is reported utilizing reactions of amide-stabilized sulfur ylides with chiral aldehydes. To establish a new strategy for macrolide fragment synthesis, the stereoselectivity of these reactions in the construction of epoxy amides was the most important aspect of this study. In this aspect, we found a strong influence of the protecting groups employed in the starting aldehydes upon the stereochemical outcome of their reactions with the sulfur ylide 1. Thus, numerous aldehydes showed remarkable stereofacial differentiation, providing a major diastereoisomer, in contrast to others that displayed a poor or no stereoselectivity. Despite the difficulties encountered for some cases with respect to their diastereomeric yields, we were able to prepare various stereotetrads and stereopentads, thus enhancing the synthetic value of this new methodology for the preparation of typical polypropionate frameworks found in many natural products, in particular the macrolide class of antibiotics.

Density dependent potentials: structure and thermodynamics

Local density dependent potentials constitute a family of many body potentials which have been recently introduced in mesoscopic modeling of simple and complex fluids. We construct a field theory for these potentials and calculate the structure factor of the fluid through a saddle point expansion. We propose also an integral equation for local density potentials which shows quantitative agreement both for the correlation functions and thermodynamic properties of such potentials, even close to binodals where the simpler saddle point approximation fails. Contrary to the limitations of global density dependent potentials, there is no ambiguity in the expression of thermodynamics quantities such as the pressure.
