Partition coefficient, blood to plasma ratio, protein binding and short-term stability of 11-nor-Delta(9)-carboxy tetrahydrocannabinol glucuronide.
2002
11-Nor-Delta(9)-carboxy tetrahydrocannabinol glucuronide (THCCOOglu) is a major metabolite of tetrahydrocannabinol in blood. Despite its mass spectrometric identification already in 1980, further physicochemical data of THCCOOglu have not been established. Therefore, the octanol/buffer partition coefficient P and the blood to plasma ratio b/p for THCCOOglu concentrations of 100 and 500ng/ml were investigated. Protein binding of the glucuronide was established from spiked albumin solutions at a level of 250ng/ml as well as from authentic samples. The data were compared to those of 11-nor-Delta(9)-carboxy tetrahydrocannabinol (THCCOOH). In addition, the short-term stability of THCCOOglu in pl…
Analysis of a solute polarity parameter in reversed-phase liquid chromatography on a linear solvation relationship basis
2004
Abstract A study was made to correlate an overall solute polarity descriptor ( p ) with several molecular parameters: excess molar refraction ( E ), dipolarity/polarizability ( S ), effective hydrogen-bond acidity ( A ) and basicity ( B ), and McGowan volume ( V ), through the linear solvation model ( p = c + eE + sS + aA + bB + vV ). The achieved values of p were introduced in a retention model developed previously for reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC), which describes the retention according to the polarity contributions of solute, mobile phase and stationary phase. The retention behaviour (log k ) of a solute in a given chromatographic system (i.e. column/organic solvent) is a…
Synthesis and evaluation of fluorine-18 labeled glyburide analogs as β-cell imaging agents
2003
Glyburide is a prescribed hypoglycemic drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetic patients. We have synthesized two of its analogs, namely N-[4-[beta-(2-(2'-fluoroethoxy)-5-chlorobenzenecarboxamido)ethyl]benzenesulfonyl]-N'-cyclohexylurea (2-fluoroethoxyglyburide, 8b) and N-[4-[beta-(2-(2'-fluoroethoxy)-5-iodobenzenecarboxamido)ethyl]benzenesulfonyl]-N'-cyclohexylurea (2-fluoroethoxy-5-deschloro-5-iodoglyburide, 8a), and their fluorine-18 labeled analogs as beta-cell imaging agents. Both F-18 labeled compound 8a and compound 8b were synthesized by alkylation of the corresponding multistep synthesized hydroxy precursor 4a and 4b with 2-[(18)F]fluoroethyl tosylate in DMSO at 120 degrees C for …
Radiosynthesis of 1-(4-(2-[18F]fluoroethoxy)benzenesulfonyl)-3-butyl urea: a potentialβ-cell imaging agent
2002
Summary Tolbutamide (1) is a sulfonurea agent used to stimulate insulin secretion in type 2 diabetic patients. Its analogue 1-(4-(2-[ 18 F]fluoroethoxy)benzenesulfonyl)-3butyl urea (3) was synthesized in overall radiochemical yields of 45% as a potential b-cell imaging agent. Compound 3 was synthesized by 18 F-fluoroalkylation of the corresponding hydroxy precursor (2 )w ith 2-[ 18 F]fluoroethyltosylate in DMF at 1208C for 10 min followed by purification with HPLC in a synthesis time of 50 min. Insulin secretion experiments of the authentic 19 F-standard compound on rat islets showed that the compound has a similar stimulating effect on insulin secretion as that of tolbutamide (1). The part…
Bimodal copper oxide nanoparticles doped phase for the extraction of highly polar compounds by in-tube solid-phase microextraction coupled on-line to…
2020
Abstract Polymers obtained from tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and triethoxymethylsilane (MTEOS) have been functionalized with different metal and metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs), and used as coatings of extractive capillaries for the extraction of polar compounds by in-tube solid-phase microextraction (IT-SPME) coupled on-line to nano-liquid chromatography (nano-LC). The extraction capabilities of the new phases have been studied using several triazinic herbicides with log of octanol/water partition coefficients (Kow) ranging from -0.7 to 3.21 under reversed phase chromatographic conditions. Best extraction efficiencies for the most polar compounds (log Kow ≤ 2.3) were typically obtained …
Micellar versus hydro-organic mobile phases for retention-hydrophobicity relationship studies with ionizable diuretics and an anionic surfactant
2004
Abstract Logarithm of retention factors (log k ) of a group of 14 ionizable diuretics were correlated with the molecular (log P o/w ) and apparent (log P app ) octanol–water partition coefficients. The compounds were chromatographed using aqueous–organic (reversed-phase liquid chromatography, RPLC) and micellar–organic mobile phases (micellar liquid chromatography, MLC) with the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), in the pH range 3–7, and a conventional octadecylsilane column. Acetonitrile was used as the organic modifier in both modes. The quality of the correlations obtained for log P app at varying ionization degree confirms that this correction is required in the aqueou…
Physico-Chemical Interactions in the Flavor-Release Process
2017
The perception of flavor is induced by the release of aroma compounds in the vapor phase. The olfactory perception is not only related to the nature of aroma compounds initially present in the food, but also to their distribution between the different phases. After a description of the interactions established between the aroma compounds and different constituents of food, this chapter looks at physico-chemical characteristics of aroma compounds and at the composition and properties of food matrices. Then, in order to understand the behavior of aroma compounds in the matrices, study methods of interactions are described. The assessment of the release is done by determining the partition coe…
Pool choice in a vertical landscape: Tadpole‐rearing site flexibility in phytotelm‐breeding frogs
2021
Abstract Many species of Neotropical frogs have evolved to deposit their tadpoles in small water bodies inside plant structures called phytotelmata. These pools are small enough to exclude large predators but have limited nutrients and high desiccation risk. Here, we explore phytotelm use by three common Neotropical species: Osteocephalus oophagus, an arboreal frog that periodically feeds eggs to its tadpoles; Dendrobates tinctorius, a tadpole‐transporting poison frog with cannibalistic tadpoles; and Allobates femoralis, a terrestrial tadpole‐transporting poison frog with omnivorous tadpoles. We found that D. tinctorius occupies pools across the chemical and vertical gradient, whereas A. fe…
Impact on flavour release of the structure of composite gels containing polysaccharides: Example of the fruit préparations
2006
The main objective of this study was to understand the respective rôle of the structure of a food product and of the physicochemical interactions on flavour release. For that purpose, fruit préparations hâve been chosen as model matrices. Those matrices contain a polysaccharide as gelling agent, a cross-linked waxy corn starch (1.4%), a high sucrose content (35%), an acidic buffer and a strawberry aroma (17 molécules). Four matrices were developed by modifying either the composition or the concentration in gelling agent: two matrices of similar texture containing either LM pectin or carrageenan, and two carrageenan based matrices with différent gelled structures. In a first step; two comple…
Universal Organic Solvent−Water Partition Coefficient Model
1999
A method that permits a semiquantitative estimate of the partitioning of any solute between any two media is presented. As an example, the organic solvent-water partition coefficients P are calculated. Program GSCAP is written as a version of Pascal's SCAP program. The only needed parameters are the dielectric constant and molecular volume of the organic solvent. The log P results are compared with the Pomona database. The average absolute deviation is 1.48 log units and the standard deviation is 1.66 log units.
