Hydrogen‐Bonded Films for Zero‐Order Release of Leuprolide

Leuprolide has been widely used in androgen deprivation therapy for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer, but its use is still limited due to its short half‐life. Herein, hydrogen‐bonded layer‐by‐layer films are fabricated from PEGylated leuprolide (PEG‐LEU) and tannic acid (TA). Because of its dynamic nature, the film disintegrates gradually in water and releases PEG‐LEU and TA. The in vitro release profile indicated perfect zero‐order kinetics, which is explained by the unique release mechanism. When implanted subcutaneously in male rats, the films maintain a constant serum drug level. For a 60‐bilayer film, the serum drug level is maintained constant for ≈24 days. No initial burst release is observed, suggesting that the in vivo release also follows zero‐order kinetics. Initially, an increase in the level of serum testosterone is induced by the released drug, followed by testosterone suppression to a constant level below the castrate level, which could be maintained as long as a constant serum drug level is maintained. Since the new drug carriers avoid an initial burst release of the drug and maintain a constant serum drug level and hence a constant serum testosterone level below the castrate level, these carriers are highly promising for androgen deprivation therapy.     

From Molecular Conformation to Phospholipid Bilayer Organization

Abstract

The structure and the dynamics of D-erythrostearoyl sphingomyelin has been studied by the variable temperature wide-line ³¹P and high-resolution ¹C CP MAS NMR apectroscopy. The results indicate the formation of the highly ordered, relaxed gelphase, and are interpreted based on the conformation of D-erytgrosphingomylin in the unaggregated state.     

RADIATION CHEMISTRY OF AMINOALKYITHIOIS

Abstract

Radiation chemistry of aminoalkylthiols and some derivatives (aminoalkyl-S-thiophosphates and aminoalkyl-S-thiosulfates among which are most effective radioprotectors) in aqueous solutions has been studied in order to establish the relation between the structure of these compounds and their radiation-chemical properties. Increase in the number of methylene groups between the sulfur atom and nitrogen atom in the aminothiol molecule from 2 to 4 and substitution of the amino group hydrogene by an alkyl radical has been found to be without appreciable effect both on the “spectra” of radiolisis products and rate constants for interaction of H, e^? _aq and OH with aminothiols     

Self‐assembly of metal–organic framework thin films containing metalloporphyrin and their photocatalytic activity under visible light

With [5,10,15,20‐tetra(4‐carboxyphenyl)porphyrin]Mn(III) and sterically controlled 2,2¢‐dimethyl‐4,4¢‐pyridine as the main raw materials, metal–organic framework thin films containing metalloporphyrin (MnPor‐MOF) with catalytically active sites were built up on functionalized quartz glass surfaces using a layer‐by‐layer self‐assembly method. Retaining active catalytic sites and having a porous reticular structure, the MnPor‐MOF films possessed remarkable photocatalytic activity for oxidative degradation of methylene blue in the presence of hydrogen peroxide under visible‐light irradiation. Most meaningfully, the MnPor‐MOF films were highly stable and simply and conveniently reusable, and are thus a potentially new organic material for photocatalytic wastewater treatment.

Analytical QbD-based systematic bioanalytical HPLC method development for estimation of quercetin dihydrate

The current work entails development of rapid, sensitive, and inexpensive high-performance liquid chromatographic method of quercetin dihydrate using the quality by design approach. Quality target method profile was defined and critical analytical attributes (CAAs) were earmarked. Chromatographic separation was accomplished on a C₁₈ column using acetonitrile and ammonium acetate buffer (35:65) %v/v (containing 0.1% acetic acid, pH 3.5) as mobile phase at 0.7?mL/min flow rate with UV detector at 237?nm. Screening studies using fractional factorial design revealed that organic modifier, injection volume, column temperature, and buffer strength have significant influence on method CAAs, namely, peak area, retention time, and peak tailing. The critical method parameters were systematically optimized using Box–Behnken design. Response surface mapping was used along with numerical optimization and desirability function for identifying the optimal chromatographic conditions. Linearity was observed in the drug concentration ranging between 2 and 50?µg/mL. Accuracy analysis revealed mean % recovery between 93.6 and 96.2%, while precision study revealed mean % recovery between 93.7 and 96.5%. Limits of detection and quantification of the developed method were found to be 12.1 and 36.6?ng/mL. Overall, the studies construed successful development of chromatographic method of quercetin with enhanced method performance.     

CYCLIZATION OF ISOMERIC BUTENYL PHENYL SULFIDES ON CHROMIC CATALYSTS

Abstract

It is established that isometric butenyl phenyl sulfides on chromic catalysts yield mainly direct cyclization products unlike their reactions on heterogenous acidic catalysts previously investigated in our laboratory. In the presence of such catalysts the formation of cyclic comcounds proceeds in different ways depending on the position of the side-chain double bond. In case chromic catalysts are used the mentioned factor affects only the easiness of cyclization, but not the nature of the process as such.     

Cross‐linked Multilayer Polymer‐Clay Nanocomposites and Permeability Properties

Abstract

Electrostatically layered aluminosilicate nanocomposites have been prepared by the sequential deposition of poly(allylamine hydrochloride)/poly(acrylic acid)/poly(allylamine hydrochloride)/saponite (PAH/PAA/PAH/saponite)₁₀ on poly(ethylene terephtalate) (PET) film. Exfoliated saponite nanoplatelets were obtained by extensive shaking, sonication, and centrifugation of a water suspension. To minimize permeability and improve the mechanical integrity, cross‐linking of composite films was carried out at different temperatures. The formation of amide linkage induced through heating was observed by Fourier Transform Infrared (FT‐IR) and x‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The cross‐linking of nanocomposites (PAH/PAA/PAH/saponite)₁₀ showed 60% decrease in permeability of oxygen when compared with the pristine PET substrate film. In contrast, water permeability of the nanocomposite membrane was not affected by heating temperature and deposition cycles.     

Detection of layer‐by‐layer self‐assembly multilayer films by low‐temperature plasma mass spectrometry

The detection of layer‐by‐layer self‐assembly multilayer films was carried out using low‐temperature plasma (LTP) mass spectrometry (MS) under ambient conditions. These multilayer films have been prepared on quartz plates through the alternate assembling of oppositely charged 4‐aminothiophenol (4‐ATP) capped Au particles and thioglycolic acid (TGA) capped Ag particles. An LTP probe was used for direct desorption and ionization of chemical components on the films. Without the complicated sample preparation, the structure information of 4‐ATP and TGA on films was studied by LTP‐MS. Characteristic ions of 4‐ATP (M) and TGA (F), including [M]^+?, [M‐NH₂]⁺, [M‐HCN‐H]⁺, and [F + H]⁺, [F‐H]⁺, [F‐OH]⁺, [F‐COOH]⁺ were recorded by LTP‐MS on the films. However, [M‐CS‐H]⁺ and [F‐SH]⁺ could not be observed on the film, which were detected in the neat sample. In addition, the semi‐quantitative analysis of chemical components on monolayer film was carried out, and the amounts of 4‐ATP and TGA on monolayer surface were 45 ng/mm² and 54 ng/mm², respectively. This resulted the ionization efficiencies of 72% for 4‐ATP and 54% for TGA. In order to evaluate the reliability of present LTP‐MS, the correlations between this approach and some traditional methods, such as UV–vis spectroscopy, atomic force microscope and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy were studied, which resulted the correlation coefficients of higher than 0.9776. The results indicated that this technique can be used for analyzing the films without any pretreatment, which possesses great potential in the studies of self‐assembly multilayer films.
