Preparation of Alumina Supported Palladium Catalysts by Sol-Gel Method

The chemical reactivity of the aluminium-sec-butoxide (ASB) and the palladium acetylacetonate Pd(acac)₂, used as precursors for the preparation of the alumina supported palladium catalysts by sol-gel method was investigated by the spectroscopic study of the precursor mixture during ageing, using FTIR, UV-VIS and ²⁷Al NMR. The obtaind results showed that acetylacetonate ligands were linked to aluminum when the mixture was aged at 40°C. This was proved by the bands observed at 1530 and 1600 cm^–1 in the FTIR spectra, the band obtained at 289 nm in the UV-VIS spectra and the ²⁷Al NMR sharp peak at 3 ppm. Furthermore, in order to avoid the Pd(acac)₂ reduction to metallic palladium by the SB occurring when the mixture is aged for 3 h, an optimum ageing time should be selected. The precursors modification and the preservation of the palladium oxidation state during ageing could be the required conditions to create a bond between palladium and aluminium during the gelation step. This should be the reason of the thermal stability improvement of the alumina supported palladium catalyst prepared by the sol-gel method.

Stability‐indicating HPTLC method for quantitative estimation of silybin in bulk drug and pharmaceutical dosage form

In the present study a novel stability‐indicating high‐performance thin‐layer chromatography (HPTLC) method for quantitative determination of silybin in bulk drug and nanoemulsion formulation has been developed and validated on silica using solvent chloroform–acetone–formic acid (9 : 2 : 1 v/v/v) (R_f of silybin 0.46 ± 0.05) in the absorbance mode at 296 nm. The method showed a good linear relationship (r² ± 0.999) in the concentration range 25–1500 ng per spot. It was found to be linear, accurate, precise, specific, robust and stability‐indicating and can be applied for quality control and standardization of several multi‐component hepatoprotective formulations as well as for stability testing of different dosage forms. The method proposed was also used to investigate the kinetics of acidic and alkaline degradation processes by quantification of drug at different temperature to calculate the activation energy and half‐life for silymarin degradation.

Structural Analysis of a Helical Peptide Unfolding Pathway

The analysis of the folding mechanism in peptides adopting well‐defined secondary structure is fundamental to understand protein folding. Herein, we describe the thermal unfolding of a 15‐mer vascular endothelial growth factor mimicking α‐helical peptide (QK_L10A) through the combination of spectroscopic and computational analyses. In particular, on the basis of the temperature dependencies of QK_L10A H_α chemical shifts we show that the first phase of the thermal helix unfolding, ending at around 320 K, involves mainly the terminal regions. A second phase of the transition, ending at around 333 K, comprises the central helical region of the peptide. The determination of high‐resolution QK_L10A conformational preferences in water at 313 K allowed us to identify, at atomic resolution, one intermediate of the folding–unfolding pathway. Molecular dynamics simulations corroborate experimental observations detecting a stable central helical turn, which represents the most probable site for the helix nucleation in the folding direction. The data presented herein allows us to draw a folding–unfolding picture for the small peptide QK_L10A compatible with the nucleation–propagation model. This study, besides contributing to the basic field of peptide helix folding, is useful to gain an insight into the design of stable helical peptides, which could find applications as molecular scaffolds to target protein–protein interactions.
