Deposition of Phosphate Nanoparticles onto Textile Fabrics via Sol-gel Method and Their Kinetics Desorption Studies

In this paper, phosphate nanoparticles were coated on cotton(CO) and polyester(PES) textile surfaces by sol-gel method using tetraethylorthosilicate(TEOS) and chloropropyltriethoxysilane(CPTS) as silica precursors. The deposited nanoparticles were observed with scanning electronic microscopy energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX). The release kinetics of phosphorus(P) from these textiles into the aqueous medium(Aq), acid(Ac), and basic(Ba) artificial sweats were then studied. The released amount of phosphorus was evaluated by the inductively coupled plasma(ICP) according to ISO NF EN 16711-2 procedure. The results revealed that the release of P into the aqueous medium is lower than in the artificial sweat. The kinetics data[the phosphorus desorption amount(mg/g) as a function of time] were modeled according to five models:the first order, the second order, the third order, simple Elovich and parabolic diffusion. The suitable model was chosen based on the coefficient of determination(R²) and the calculation of the sum of the absolute errors(EABS), which describes the error between the theoretical and experimental values. SEM observations were also carried out on the fabrics after desorption in order to show the impact of desorption on their morphology. Furthermore, the impact of P release on the tensile strength of CO and PES fabrics was investigated using a uniaxial tensile test. The thermal stability of all samples before and after desorption was assessed by thermogravimetric analysis(ATG).     

Intelligence Way from Eco-friendly Synthesis Strategy of New Heterocyclic Pyrazolic Carboxylic α-Amino Esters

The α-amino acid derivatives constitute a class of compounds of particular medicinal and synthetic attention and considerable interest has been devoted to their synthesis in recent years. In the present work, we develop the computational study of the synthesis reaction of new pyrazolyl α-amino esters derivatives using the Gaussian 09 based on the DFT/B3LYP density functional theory method, with the base 6-31G(d, p) to ensure the possibility of carrying out these reactions within the laboratory of synthesis. Indeed, this research has encouraged us to establish an economical synthesis strategy of these products in overall yields of 73.5% to 87% to have access to new active biomolecule through the O-alkylation reaction between methyl α-azidoglycinate N-benzoylated and primary pyrazole alcohols[(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methanol, (1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methanol and (3-ethoxy-5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methanol] under different operating conditions. The structure of the prepared heterocyclic systems was characterized by conventional spectroscopic techniques, like ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and MS. The results revealed that the experimental study is in good correlation with the computational one.     

Densitometric high-performance thin-layer chromatography methods for the quantification of oleuropein in Olea europaea leaves and pharmaceutical preparation utilizing normal- and reversed-phase silica gel plates

Two validated, simple and precise densitometric high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) quantification methods were proposed for both qualitative and quantitative estimation of oleuropein in Olea europaea leaves and a pharmaceutical product utilizing normal-phase and reversed-phase silica gel TLC plates. In method I, 10 × 20 cm glass plates coated with 0.2 mm thin layers of normal-phase silica gel 60 containing F₂₅₄ (E-Merck, Germany) and a mixture of ethyl acetate‒methanol‒water (8:1:0.5, V/V) were used as the stationary and the mobile phase, respectively. Method II utilized 10 × 20 cm glass-backed plates supporting 0.2 mm layers of RP-18 silica gel 60 containing F₂₅₄ (E-Merck, Germany) as the stationary phase and green solvents mixture composed of ethanol‒water (5.5:4.5, V/V) as the mobile phase. The two methods resulted in sharp, symmetrical, well-resolved peaks at R_F values of 0.47 ± 0.02 and 0.78 ± 0.03 with linearity ranges 200‒1400 ng/spot (r² = 0.9994) and 200‒1400 ng/spot (r² = 0.9996) for method I and method II, respectively. Spots corresponding to oleuropein were scanned at 200 nm. The two methods complied with the ICH guidelines for validation. Due to simplicity, low cost and short analysis time, the methods can be good alternatives for the quality control of different products containing olive leaves extract or pure oleuropein.

Kinetic Spectrophotometric Determination of Ritodrine Hydrochloride in Dosage Forms

A simple and sensitive kinetic method was developed for the determination of ritodrine hydrochloride in pharmaceutical preparations. The method is based upon a kinetic investigation of the oxidation reaction of the drug with alkaline potassium permenganate at room temperature for a fixed 12.5 min; the absorbance of the colored permenganate ion was measured at 609 nm. The absorbance concentration plots were rectilinear over the range of 1.6–11.2 μg mL^?1 (r = 0.9992) with a minimum detectability of 0.096 μgmL^?1 (2.88 × 10^?7 M). The different experimental parameters affecting the development and stability of color were carefully studied and optimized. The determination of ritodrine hydrochloride by the fixed concentration and rate constant methods is also feasible with the calibration equations obtained, but the fixed time method has been found to be more applicable. The proposed method was applied successfully to the determination of ritodrine hydrochloride in tablets and ampoules with average recoveries of 100.37 ± 0.93% and 100.42 ± 0.87%, respectively. The results obtained were in good agreement with those obtained using a reference method for comparison. A proposal of the reaction pathway is also presented.     

Synthesis and Preliminary Anti‐bacterial Activity of Some 4‐Substituted‐N1‐2‐pyridylsulfanilamide Derivatives

2‐Amino‐4‐ethoxycarbonylpyridine 1 was used as a starting material in the synthesis of some 4‐substituted‐N¹‐2‐pyridylsulfanilamide derivatives to evaluate their antimicrobial activity. The obtained compounds were of no particular effect against the tested organisms except for a noticeable inhibition of B. subtilis, which was of varying extents but remained clearly significant.     

Fused quinoline heterocycles VI: Synthesis of 5H‐1‐thia‐3,5,6‐triazaaceanthrylenes and 5H‐1‐thia‐3,4,5,6‐tetraazaaceanthrylenes

Ethyl 3‐amino‐4‐chlorothieno[3,2‐c]quinoline‐2‐carboxylate ( 4 ) is a versatile synthon, prepared by reacting an equimolar amount of 2,4‐dichloroquinoline‐3‐carbonitrile ( 1 ) with ethyl mercaptoacetate ( 2 ). Ethyl 5‐alkyl‐5H‐1‐thia‐3,5,6‐triazaaceanfhrylene‐2‐carboxylates 9a‐c , novel perianellated tetracyclic heteroaro‐matics, were prepared by refluxing 4 with excess of primary amines 7a‐c to yield the corresponding amino‐thieno[3,2‐c]quinolines 8a‐c . Subsequent reaction with an excess of triethyl orthoformate (TEO) furnished 9a‐c . Reaction of 4 with TEO in Ac₂O at reflux, gave the simple acetylated compounds, thieno[3,2‐c]‐quinolines 12 and 13 . Refluxing 4 with benzylamine ( 7d ) gave 10 , and subsequent treatment with TEO gave the tetracyclic compound 11 . Refluxing 13 with an excess of alkylamines 7a‐d gave the fhieno[3,2‐c]quino‐lines 15 . Refluxing the aminothienoquinolines 8b with an excess of triethyl orthoacetate gave thieno[3,2‐c]quinoline 17 , while heating with Ac₂O gave 18 and 19 , with small amounts of 16 . Reaction of 8a,b with ethyl chloroformate and phenylisothiocyanate generated the new 1‐thia‐3,5,6‐triazaaceanthrylenes 20a,b and 21a,b , respectively. Diazotization of 8a‐c afforded the novel tetracyclic ethyl 5‐alkyl‐5H‐1‐fhia‐3,4,5,6‐tetraazaaceanthrylene‐2‐carboxylates 22a‐c in good yields.
