Host-guest interactions for extracting antibiotics with a γ-cyclodextrin poly(glycidyl-co-ethylene dimethacrylate) hybrid sorbent
2021
Abstract A procedure for the solid-phase extraction of antibiotics (enoxacin, ofloxacin, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and sparfloxacin) in water has been developed. The sorbent used is based on a poly(glycidyl-co-ethylene dimethacrylate) network, whose previously modified surface has been functionalized with γ-cyclodextrin through a click-chemistry reaction. The architecture of the material has been characterized by thermogravimetric analysis, N2 adsorption-desorption, Raman spectroscopy, confocal microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy, showing good capability to be used as a filler for extraction cartridges. The optimization of the extraction methodology shows good intra-day and inter…
Study of the interaction of [Cu(bipy)]2+ with oxalate and squarate in aqueous solution
1988
A study of the formation of complexes between [Cu(bipy)]2+ and ox2− and sq2− in aqueous solution, (bipy being 2,2′-bipyridine and ox2− and sq2− the dianions of ethanedioic acid and 3,4-dihydroxy-3-cyclobutene-1,2-dione, respectively), has been carried out with the aim of comparing the coordinating properties of these related ligands. The constants of the equilibria (i) and (ii) $$[Cu(bipy)]^{2 + } + ox^{2 - } \rightleftharpoons [Cu(bipy)ox]$$ (i) $$[Cu(bipy)]^{2 + } + sq^{2 - } \rightleftharpoons [Cu(bipy)sq]$$ (ii) have been determined by potentiometry and spectrophotometry at 25.0°C and 0.1 M NaNO3:logβ=5.78(2) and 2.16(2) for the oxalato- and squarato-complex, respectively. Such differen…
Metal ion-promoted activation of amino acid esters of carbohydrates in the synthesis of peptides
1992
Abstract Carbohydrate esters 1 and 2 of N-protected amino acids are activated by coordination of metal ions and subjected to aminolysis by amino acid esters 3 to form peptides 4 .
Pharmakologisch-aktive polymere, 21. Orientierende Untersuchungen zur körperverteilung und Ausscheidung von poly[2-(methylsulfinyl)ethylacrylat]en be…
1980
Poly[2-(methylsulfinyl)ethyl acrylate] (1) was synthesized as well as derivatives 14C-labelled in side groups (6) or 14C-labelled in the main chain (11). Polymer 11 with the 14C-labelled main chain was fractionated by precipitation. The η-M-relation determined by measurements of unlabelled polymers in the ultracentrifuge for comparison was used to establish the viscosimetrically determined molecular weights of the labelled fractions. After intravenous application of aqueous solutions of the polymer in rats the excretion rate up to 72 h after treatment was ascertained to ca. 50%; the concentration in the blood serum was found to be strikingly high. A tendency to reinforced storage in organs …
Solution properties of polyelectrolytes. II. Comparison of the effects of both polyion and eluent salt concentrations on the calibrations in aqueous …
1987
The elution behaviour of charged water-soluble polymers (sodium polystyrene sulphonate) in both salt-free and NaCl-containing aqueous mobile phases has been investigated by size-exclusion chromatography. A comparative analysis has been established between the results as a function of polyion and salt concentrations, which demonstrates that the chromatographic behaviour is similar in both cases. The variation of the slopes of the different concentration-dependent calibration curves is discussed in terms of polyelectrolyte conformational changes. Finally, a semi-empirical model has been developed to predict the dependence of the elution volume in either polyion or salt concentration, and its …
Radiation synthesis of polyaspartamide functionalised hydrogels for sustained release of fragrances
2005
The aim of the present investigation is to assess the possibility of obtaining a biocompatible material device which is able to deliver oil-soluble fragrances in air over a length of time. Aqueous solutions of polyaspartamide functionalised with glycidyl methacrylate have been cross linked through gamma irradiation in the presence of a lipophilic model fragrance, emulsified prior to irradiation. Two emulsification conditions have been considered at two different concentrations of both fragrance and surfactant in water. Chemical hydrogels have been obtained in correspondence to two irradiation absorbed doses and have been characterised for their solubility properties and swelling ability in …
Design and evaluation of sensory systems based on amphiphilic anthraquinones molecular receptors
2015
A new paradigm is described that allows one to create different types of sensors: from highly sensitive ones to practical household devices. Our approach relies on modular molecular receptors incorporating an intensely-colored aminoanthraquinone signaling unit equipped with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic modules, the number and size of which being configured in accordance with the targeted analyte and the sought detection method. An important advantage is the compliance with some principles of green chemistry, avoiding the use of toxic organic solvents. The proper functionalization of the anthraquinone scaffold afforded water-soluble chromoinophores capable of quantifying selectively Hg2+…
Asymmetrische Hetero-Diels-Alder-Reaktionen in wäßriger Lösung unter Verwendung von Aminosäureestern als chiralen Auxiliaren
1989
(R)- und (S)-Aminosaure-methylester-hydrochloride bilden mit Formaldehyd in THF/Wasser-Gemischen Iminium-Ionen, die als elektronenarme Dienophile mit Cyclopentadien, 1,3-Cyclohexadien und Alkyl-substituierten Butadienen bereits bei 0°C Hetero-Diels-Alder-Reaktionen eingehen. Die Cycloaddukte werden mit hohen Ausbeuten im Multigrammasstab und mit Diastereomerenverhaltnissen (bis zu 93:7) gebildet, die mit anderen chiralen Aminen bisher nicht erreicht werden konnten. Mit Hilfe von NOE-Experimenten werden die absoluten Konfigurationen der Hauptdiastereomeren zugeordnet. Aus den Phenylglycin- und den Serin-Derivaten konnen die chiralen Hilfsgruppen mittels hydrogenolytischer Methoden bzw. unter…
Cytochemical techniques for zinc and heavy metals localization in nerve cells
2002
Zinc is one of the most abundant oligoelements in the living cell. It appears tightly bound to metallothioneins, loosely bound to some metalloproteins and nucleic acids, or even as free ion. Small amounts of zinc ions (in the nanomolar range) regulate a plentitude of enzymatic proteins, receptors, and transcription factors; thus, cells need accurate homeostasis of zinc ions. Some neurons have developed mechanisms to accumulate zinc in specific membrane compartments ("vesicular zinc") which can be revealed using histochemical techniques. This article is a short report on the different direct-indirect experimental approaches for zinc and heavy metal detection in neurons. Substances giving a b…
Complex Formation of DNA with Oppositely Charged Polyelectrolytes of Different Chain Topology: Cylindrical Brushes and Dendrimers
2007
The complex formation between DNA (pUC19-supercoiled DNA, 2686 base pairs) and some polycations of different chain topologies in aqueous solution was studied by light scattering, gel electrophoresis, and AFM. The investigated polycations comprised cylindrical brush polymers with quaternized poly(vinylpyridine) and polyethylene imine side chains as well as a fifth generation dendrimer thus covering a broad molar mass regime of 3 × 104 g mol-1 < Mw < 1 × 107 g mol-1 and very different chemical charges/molecule, Z+, of 127 < Z+ < 5500. Irrespective of the polycation, the complexes formed in dilute solution exhibited a similar size in terms of the mean square radius of gyration, 〈Rg2〉, i.e., 30…
