Correlation between transport and equilibrium properties through the ternary interaction parameter for cosolvent and cononsolvent polymeric systems

1992

A study of the ternary polymer systems dimethyl formamide-ethyl acetate-polystyrene, chloroform-1,4 dioxane-polystyrene and tetrahydrofuran-chloroform-polystyrene was carried out by viscosity and light scattering at 298 K. A good correlation has been found between the excess intrinsic viscosity, unperturbed polymer dimensions, second virial coefficient and the excess Gibbs free energy by using a ternary interaction parameter, dependent on molecular weight. This modification enables the conversion between transport and equilibrium properties.

Salt effects on the protonation of l-histidine and l-aspartic acid: a complex formation model

1991

Abstract Protonation constants of l -histidine (histidinate: his − ) and l -aspartic acid (aspartate: asp 2− ) were determined potentiometrically, using the (H + ) glass electrode, in aqueous tetraethylammonium iodide (Et 4 NI), calcium chloride and sodium chloride solutions, at 0 −3 and 10 ⩽, T ⩽, 45 ° C. Differences in protonation constants determined in different salt media were explained by a complex formation model and, according to this model, the presence of the following species was hypothesized: Ca(his) + , CaH(his) 2+ , CaH 2 (his) 3+ Na(his) 0 , H 3 (his)X + , H 2 (his)X 0 , Et 4 N(his) 0 , Et 4 NH(his) + , Ca(asp) 0 , CaH(asp) + , CaH 2 (asp) 2+ , Na(asp) − , NaH(asp) 0 , H 3 (a…

Biocompatible Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-halloysite Nanotubes for Thermoresponsive Curcumin Release

2015

The grafting of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAM) onto the halloysite external surface is proposed in order to obtain a novel thermoresponsive drug carrier for curcumin delivery. The new nanomaterial is characterized by means of FT-IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and SEM investigations. A high density of polymer chain was achieved at the nanoparticle surface. The PNIPAAM dehydration phenomenon was observed in water above 32 °C that is nearly coincident with the lower critical solution temperature for the polymer. The colloidal stability as well as the wettability of the obtained nanomaterial may be triggered by temperature stimuli. In vitro tests simulating the gastro-intes…

Extraction of amino acids with emulsion liquid membranes using industrial surfactants and lecithin as stabilisers

2000

Abstract Industrial surfactants (being the mixtures of several individual compounds) were used as stabilisers of emulsion liquid membranes (ELMs). Although, some impurities present in technical formulations of these compounds were extracted to aqueous solutions of amino acids, most of the used surfactants well served to this purpose. In the case of amino acid transport, they do not act as carriers and application of additional carrier (such as D2EHP) was required in order to facilitate the transport. Interestingly, the same properties were found for lecithin, industrially important natural surfactant. Lecithin applied as a chiral discriminator, used either as an emulsion stabiliser or carri…

Concentration of amino acids using supported liquid membranes with di-2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid as a carrier

1997

Abstract Basic studies of a procedure for extraction of amino acids using a supported liquid membrane containing di-2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid are presented. The extractions are made from an aqueous donor phase with pH 3 to a more acidic acceptor phase and the mass transfer is driven by the proton gradient between these phases. For 0.01 mM tryptophan and with 1 M HCl as acceptor phase, an extraction efficiency of 60% is obtained, constant up to at least 12 h. This permits concentration enrichment factors linearly increasing with time up to values of at least 150. For higher amino acid concentrations, the extraction efficiency is constant only over shorter time intervals.

Interaction of Dimethyltin(IV)2+ Cation with Gly-Gly, Gly-His, and Some Related Ligands. A New Case of a Metal Ion Able To Promote Peptide Nitrogen D…

1999

Equilibrium (pH-metric) and spectroscopic (1H,13C, and 119Sn NMR and 119Sn Mossbauer) studies were performed to characterize the interaction of the dimethyltin(IV) cation with glycine, glycyl-glycine (Gly-Gly), imidazole-4-acetic acid, histamine, histidine, glycyl-histamine, glycyl-histidine (Gly-His), and β-alanyl-histidine (carnosine). For histamine and glycyl-histamine (having only nitrogen donor atoms) no complex formation was detected. The hydrolyzed species of the dimethyltin(IV) cation are always dominant over the complexes formed with the other ligands, except with Gly-Gly and Gly-His. For these two ligands, {COO-,N-,NH2} coordinated complexes are dominant in the neutral pH range wi…

ChemInform Abstract: Convenient High Yielding Gram Scale Solution Synthesis of Methionine-Enkephalin.

2010

A simple, large-scale synthesis of a cytokine, methionine-enkephalin, Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Met, has been elaborated. Classical solution peptide chemistry methods without protection of amino acid side-chain functions and 1+(2+2) segment condensation were used. A nine-step synthesis from commercial amino acid derivatives was developed with yields ranging from 86% to 99%, averaging 92%. The purity of all intermediates was found to be 99.0-100% by HPLC. The process has been used to prepare greater than 150 g quantities of the pentapeptide as a monohydrate of 100% purity. Hydantoin formation was observed during saponification of Boc-Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Met-OMe and minimised.

Alkyl and diether bridged N,N,N′,N′-tetra(2-hydroxybenzyl)diamines: effects of hydrogen bonding on structure and solubility

2012

A solvent-free one-step method has been used to prepare two N,N,N′,N′-tetra(2-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylbenzyl)diaminoalkanes containing a long n-alkyl bridge (6 and 8 CH2 groups between N-atoms). In addition, three novel N,N,N′,N′-tetra(2-hydroxy-5-alkyl-3-alkylbenzyl)-diaminoalkane-ethers (alkyl = methyl or t-butyl) have been prepared using the same method. The compounds were studied in the solid state using single crystal X-ray diffraction and their solubility was studied using UV/Vis spectroscopy. In the solid state, hydrogen bonding plays a key role in controlling the crystal packing and conformations of the molecules, thus affecting the solubility and properties of the compounds.
