Cyclodextrins are cyclic oligosaccharides, capable of forming inclusion complexes with many active substances. This way, the aqueous solubility and rate of dissolution of active substances can be changed. For this research we have selected celecoxib as the model active substance, due to its low water solubility, high lipophilicity, and high intestinal permeability. Usually, the amount of cyclodextrin complex that can be incorporated into a pharmaceutical dosage form is limited. The usage of hydrophilic polymers can overcome this problem. In this study, we wanted to point out the potential of various types of hydrophilic polymers for enhancing the complex formation efficiencies, and to highlight the possible use of alginate as a solubility stabilizer/enhancer and as a microsphere matrix polymer. The phase solubility investigation showed greater stability constants (> 250 M?1) in ternary complexes than in the binary complex, which is a good indicator of the complex formation enhancer properties of these hydrophilic polymers. The relative solubilizing efficiency decreased in the next order: PVP K25 (6.49) > Sodium alginate (6.26) > PEG 6000 (5.72) > without polymer (4.81). The DSC curves showed that all samples that were prepared with β-cyclodextrin (both complexes and physical mixtures) had lower melting endotherms at 160 °C than pure celecoxib. XRD confirmed the complex formation by partial celecoxib amorphisation. The dissolution studies of the prepared microspheres revealed that all samples had different release rates (shown by the similarity factor f2, which was 36.37, 42.46 and 38.11 % respectively) and that the use of β-cyclodextrin increased the dissolution rate of celecoxib from alginate microspheres in a controlled manner. We concluded that sodium alginate could act as a complex stabilizing/enhancing agent and as a microsphere matrix polymer, at the same time. 相似文献
In this study, a new phthalonitrile derivative 3 bearing 1,3-bis[3(dimethylamino)phenoxy]propan-2-ol 1, metal-free phthalocyanine (Pc) 4, metallophthalocyanines (MPcs) 5–7 and their quaternized derivatives 4a–7a were synthesized. Metal-free Pc 4 was prepared by cyclotetramerization of phthalonitrile derivate 3 and MPcs 5–7 were synthesized by heating 3 with NiCl2, CoCl2 and CuCl2 in n-pentanol in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene, respectively. Quaternization of the dimethylamino functionality produced quaternized octacationic water soluble metal-free, Ni, Co and Cu Pcs which were soluble in water, DMF, DMSO. The aggregation behaviour of these compounds were investigated in different concentrations of chloroform for metal-free, Ni, Co and Cu Pcs. The effect of solvents on absorption spectra were studied in various organic solvents. The novel compounds were characterized using IR, 1H-, 13C NMR, UV–vis and MS spectral data. 相似文献
In this study, the performance of modified adsorbents obtained from activated carbon for the adsorption of thorium(IV) ions from aqueous media was investigated. The analytical and spectroscopic methods such as FT-IR, BET, SEM and UV–Vis were used to examine the properties of the modified materials. According to the analysis results, the both adsorbents had large surface areas after modification. Then, temperature, pH, mixing time and solution concentration parameters were observed to determine optimum thorium adsorption conditions on modified materials. The obtained results from the experiments were applied different three kinetic models and adsorption isotherms and thermodynamic parameters were calculated and then all of the results were interpreted. The adsorption process for both adsorption systems was observed to be compatible with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The adsorption equilibrium data were best described by the Langmuir model for modified adsorbent with KMnO4 and by the Freundlich model for modified adsorbent with NaOH. Furthermore, the calculated thermodynamic parameters (ΔG°, ΔH° and ΔS°) showed that the both adsorption processes were endothermic and spontaneous. The data show that modified adsorbents can be used as influential and low-cost adsorbents to remove thorium ion. Modified new adsorbents were highly selective for thorium ion in competitive adsorption studies.
Designing new inhibitors having less side effects is a need which also could reduce cholesterol levels. To fulfill this aim, we have carried out a molecular docking study toward 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase. A set of designed structural derivatives of statin drugs, eight ligands which are used as HIV-1 integrase inhibitor candidates, a set of terpenoids, and ligands downloaded from Zinc15 database were docked to HMG-CoA reductase enzyme which contains atorvastatin in crystal structure. The analysis of docking studies revealed that statin derivative ligands are more appropriate for inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase. To define the contribution of the molecular properties to the binding of ligands to enzyme structure; the highest occupied molecular orbitals-lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals, hardness, electronegativity, and chemical potential properties of ligands have best score in their sets calculated by quantum mechanical tools. 相似文献
Risperidone (RSP) is an atypical antipsychotic drug which acts as a potent antagonist of serotonin-2 (5TH2) and dopamine-2 (D2) receptors in the brain; it is used to treat schizophrenia, behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia and irritability associated with autism. It is a poorly water soluble benzoxazole derivative with high lipophilicity. Supramolecular adducts between drug substance and two methylated β-cyclodextrins, namely heptakis(2,6-di-O-methyl)-β-cyclodextrin (DM-β-CD) and heptakis(2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)-β-cyclodextrin (TM-β-CD) were obtained in order to enhance RSP solubility and improve its biopharmaceutical profile. The inclusion complexes were evaluated by means of thermoanalytical methods (TG—thermogravimetry/DTG—derivative thermogravimetry/HF—heat flow), powder X-ray diffractometry (PXRD), universal-attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (UATR-FTIR), UV spectroscopy and saturation solubility studies. Job’s method was employed for the determination of the stoichiometry of the inclusion complexes, which was found to be 2:1 for both guest–host systems. Molecular modeling studies were carried out for an in-depth characterization of the interaction between drug substance and cyclodextrins (CDs). The physicochemical properties of the supramolecular systems differ from those of RSP, demonstrating the inclusion complex formation between drug and CDs. The RSP solubility was enhanced as a result of drug encapsulation in the CDs cavity, the higher increase being obtained with DM-β-CD as host; the guest–host system RSP/DM-β-CD can thus be a starting point for further research in developing new formulations containing RSP, with enhanced bioavailability. 相似文献
AbstractIn this study, a novel series of benzothiazole-thiazolylhydrazine (3a–3i) was synthesized and their structures were characterized by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR spectrometry, and mass spectroscopy. These compounds were evaluated as inhibitors of type A and type B monoamine oxidase (MAO) enzymes. The most active compound 3b (2-((2-(2-(4-(4-Nitrophenyl)thiazol-2-yl)hydrazineylidene)-2-phenylethyl)thio)benzothiazole) showed strong inhibitory activity at hMAO-A (IC50 of 0.095?±?0.004?µM). Furthermore, compound 3i (2-((2-(2-(4-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)thiazol-2-yl)hydrazineylidene)-2-phenylethyl)thio)benzothiazole) showed significant inhibition profile on hMAO-A with the IC50 values 0.141?±?0.006?µM. 相似文献
The thermal degradation of poly(vinyl chloride)/chlorinated poly(ethylene) (PVC/CPE) blends of different compositions was
investigated by means of dynamic and isothermal thermogravimetric analysis in flowing atmosphere of nitrogen. Kinetic parameters
(the apparent activation energy E, and pre-exponential factor Z) were calculated after Flynn-Wall-Ozawa method for the first stage of dynamic degradation of PVC/CPE blends, and after Flynn
method for the isothermal degradation. In both cases, there is the compensation dependence between the values E and logZ. The values of compensation ratios as well as the characteristics of TG and DTG curves, confirm the stabilizing effect of
CPE on PVC dehydrochlorination.

We report on the application of a simple and versatile antioxidant capacity assay for dietary polyphenols, vitamin C and vitamin
E utilizing the copper(II)-neocuproine (Cu(II)-Nc) reagent as the chromogenic oxidant, which we term the CUPRAC (cupric reducing
antioxidant capacity) method. It involves mixing the antioxidant solution (directly or after acid hydrolysis) with solutions
of CuCl2, neocuproine, and ammonium acetate at pH 7, and measuring the absorbance at 450 nm after 30 min. Slowly reacting antioxidants
required an incubation at 50 °C for 20 min for color development. The flavonoid glycosides were hydrolyzed to their corresponding
aglycones by refluxing in 1.2 M HCl-containing 50% MeOH for fully exhibiting their antioxidant potencies. Certain compounds
also needed incubation after acid hydrolysis for color development. The CUPRAC absorbances of mixture constituents were additive,
indicating lack of chemical deviations from Beer’s law. The CUPRAC antioxidant capacities of a wide range of polyphenolics
are reported in this work and compared to those found by ABTS/persulfate and Folin assays. The trolox-equivalent capacities
of the antioxidants were linearly correlated (r = 0.8) to those found by ABTS but not to those of Folin. The highest antioxidant capacities in the CUPRAC method were observed
for epicatechin gallate, epigallocatechin gallate, quercetin, fisetin, epigallocatechin, catechin, caffeic acid, epicatechin,
gallic acid, rutin, and chlorogenic acid in this order, in accordance with theoretical expectations. The experiences of other
CUPRAC users also are summarized.

In this work, a sensitive, practical and reliable acetylthiocholine (ATCh) biosensor based on poly(allylamine hydrochloride) functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotube (PAH/MWCNT) was fabricated and used for pesticide detection. As far as we know, this is the first work that constitutes the usage of PAH and MWCNT for ATCh biosensor. The developed system was characterized by using scanning electron microscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The influence of parameters such as enzyme amount and pH were examined and a linearity between 5×10?5 M?2.0×10?3 M for ATCh was obtained. The proposed biosensor was applied for a model pesticide, monocrotophos, detection. The analytical curve showed an excellent linearity in the monocrotophos concentration range of 1–25 pg/mL with an incubation time of 5 min. Limit of detection and limit of quantification values were calculated as 0.88 and 2.9 pg/mL, respectively. The system was also applied for detection of monocrotophos in grape, tomatoe, tap and mineralized water samples and promising recovery values were obtained. 相似文献
