Acid/base characterization of sepiolite by inverse gas chromatography

Summary The surface properties of sepiolite were investigated by inverse gas chromatography. It is shown that the value of the dispersive component change uniformly with temperature, while the values obtained for the parameters K_A and K_D indicate an acidic character for the sepiolite surface.

Synthesis of 3-Substituted Pyrazole Derivatives by Mixed Anhydride Method and Study of Their Antibacterial Activities

A convenient synthesis of 3-substituted pyrazole derivatives by a mixed anhydride method using i-butylchloroformate and N-methylmorpholine at ?20 °C in tetrahydrofuran and study of in vitro antibacterial activities of the prepared compounds against Staphylococcus epidermidis, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Proteus valguris by agar-diffusion method were carried out. The results suggested that the products 4a, 4b, and 4c exhibited moderate to feeble inhibition against all test bacteria at greater concentration but 4d was best against Staphylococcus epidermidis (22 mm) and worst against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (16 mm) at the greatest concentration (2.5 mg/ml), and the activities decreased with decrease in concentration.

An efficient microwave assisted synthesis of novel class of Rhodanine derivatives as potential HIV-1 and JSP-1 inhibitors

(Z)-5-(2-(1H-Indol-3-yl)-2-oxoethylidene)-3-phenyl-2-thioxothiazolidin-4-one (7a-q) derivatives have been synthesized by the condensation reaction of 3-phenyl-2-thioxothiazolidin-4-ones (3a-h) with suitably substituted 2-(1H-indol-3-yl)-2-oxoacetaldehyde (6a-d) under microwave condition. The thioxothiazolidine-4-ones were prepared from the corresponding aromatic amines (1a-e) and di-(carboxymethyl)-trithiocarbonyl (2). The aldehydes (6a-h) were synthesized from the corresponding acid chlorides (5a-d) using HSnBu₃.     

Modeling phase equilibria for acid gas mixtures using the CPA equation of state. Part II: Binary mixtures with CO2

In Part I of this series of articles, the study of H₂S mixtures has been presented with CPA. In this study the phase behavior of CO₂ containing mixtures is modeled. Binary mixtures with water, alcohols, glycols and hydrocarbons are investigated. Both phase equilibria (vapor-liquid and liquid-liquid) and densities are considered for the mixtures involved. Different approaches for modeling pure CO₂ and mixtures are compared. CO₂ is modeled as non self-associating fluid, or as self-associating component having two, three and four association sites. Moreover, when mixtures of CO₂ with polar compounds (water, alcohols and glycols) are considered, the importance of cross-association is investigated. The cross-association is accounted for either via combining rules or using a cross-solvation energy obtained from experimental spectroscopic or calorimetric data or from ab initio calculations. In both cases two adjustable parameters are used when solvation is explicitly accounted for. The performance of CPA using the various modeling approaches for CO₂ and its interactions is presented and discussed, comparatively to various recent published investigations. It is shown that overall very good correlation is obtained for binary mixtures of CO₂ and water or alcohols when the solvation between CO₂ and the polar compound is explicitly accounted for, whereas the model is less satisfactory when CO₂ is treated as self-associating compound.

Quantification of human growth hormone by amino acid composition analysis using isotope dilution liquid-chromatography tandem mass spectrometry

We describe an accurate method for protein quantification based on conventional acid hydrolysis and an isotope dilution-HPLC-mass spectrometry (ID-HPLC-MS) method. Sample purity was confirmed using capillary zone electrophoresis, HPLC and MS. The analyte protein, human growth hormone (hGH), was effectively hydrolyzed by incubation with 8 M hydrochloric acid at 130 °C for 48 h, where at least 1 μM of hGH was treated to avoid possible degradation of released amino acids during hydrolysis. Using a reversed-phase column, the analytes (isoleucine, phenylalanine, proline and valine) were separated within 5 min using an isocratic eluent comprising 10% acetonitrile containing 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid. The detection limit (signal to noise ratio of 3) of amino acids was 5.5-6.2 fmol per injection. The quantification precision (RSD) of amino acids for intra- and inter-day assays was less than 0.98% and 0.39%, respectively. Comparison with other biochemical and instrumental methods revealed substantially higher accuracy and reproducibility of the ID-HPLC-MS/MS method as expected. The optimized hydrolysis and analytical conditions in our study were suitable for accurate quantification of hGH.     

Optimization of the synthesis of a hyper-crosslinked stationary phases: a new generation of highly efficient, acid-stable hyper-crosslinked materials for HPLC

A new family of hyper-crosslinked (HC) phases was recently developed for use under very aggressive conditions including those encountered in ultra-fast, high-temperature two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2-DLC). This type of stationary phase has improved acid stability compared with the most acid-stable, commercial RPLC phases. Kinetic studies are here reported that allow optimization of reaction time and crosslinking reagent concentrations used to prepare such HC phases. We have determined that the Friedel-Crafts chemistry used to prepare HC phases is nearly complete within about 15 min. Thus, reaction time for each step of the synthesis was greatly reduced from the multihour reactions used previously without sacrificing the stationary phases' acid stability and separation performance. Results from elemental analysis of the finished particles were combined with LC data to provide insights regarding the properties of these HC phases. This new generation of acid stable HC phases, with their attractive chromatographic properties, should be very useful in the separations of bases or biological analytes in acidic media, especially at elevated temperatures.
