Spectrophotometric Determination of the Antihistamines, Carbinoxamine Maleate and Doxylamine Succinate, in anN-Cetylpyridinium Chloride Micellar Medi…
1996
Abstract The pyridine antihistamines carbinoxamine maleate and doxylamine succinate were derivatized by hydrolysis with cyanogen bromide and coupling with aniline to form a polymethine dye, and determined by colorimetry. In a micellar cationic medium of N-cetylpyridinium chloride (NCPC), the reaction times were reduced and the sensitivities improved. In 0.1 M NCPC the apparent molar absorptivities of the derivatives were 5,900 and 3,500 M−1 cm−1, and the limits of detection (as 3s) were 8.6x10−7 M and 1.7x106 M, for carbinoxamine and doxylamine, respectively. The sensitivity was enhanced in a three- to six-fold factor with respect to a non-micellar medium. The reproducibility was 0.8% for 1…
Confinement of chiral molecules in reverse micelles: FT-IR, polarimetric and VCD investigation on the state of dimethyl tartrate in sodium bis(2-ethy…
2008
Abstract The state of d and l -dimethyl tartrate confined within dry sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT) reverse micelles dispersed in CCl 4 has been investigated by FT-IR spectroscopy, polarimetry, and vibrational circular dichroism (VCD). Measurements have been performed at 25 °C as a function of the solubilizate-to-surfactant molar ratio ( R ) at a fixed AOT concentration (0.158 M). The analysis of experimental data is consistent with the hypothesis that both enantiomers of dimethyl tartrate are mainly entrapped in the reverse micelles and located in proximity to the surfactant head-group region. The formation of this interesting self-organized chiral nanostructure involves som…
Availability of O 2 as a Substrate in the Cytoplasm of Bacteria under Aerobic and Microaerobic Conditions
1998
ABSTRACT The growth rates of Pseudomonas putida KT2442 and mt-2 on benzoate, 4-hydroxybenzoate, or 4-methylbenzoate showed an exponential decrease with decreasing oxygen tensions (partial O 2 tension [pO 2 ] values). The oxygen tensions resulting in half-maximal growth rates were in the range of 7 to 8 mbar of O 2 (corresponding to 7 to 8 μM O 2 ) (1 bar = 10 5 Pa) for aromatic compounds, compared to 1 to 2 mbar for nonaromatic compounds like glucose or succinate. The decrease in the growth rates coincided with excretion of catechol or protocatechuate, suggesting that the activity of the corresponding oxygenases became limiting. The experiments directly establish that under aerobic and micr…
High-performance liquid chromatographic determination of sumatriptan after in vitro transdermal diffusion studies.
2004
A simple, accurate, precise and rapid HPLC method with UV detection has been validated in order to determine the in vitro transdermal absorption of sumatriptan succinate. The HPLC method is a modification of that described by Nozal et al. [M.J. Nozal, J.L. Bernal, L. Toribio, M.T. Martin, F.J. Diez, J. Pharm. Biomed. Anal. 30 (2002) 285-291]. Separation was carried out on a 250 mm Kromasil C18 column at room temperature. The detector response, at 282.7 nm, was found to be linear in a concentration range between 0.145 and 145 microM. The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.019 microM and the limit of quantification (LOQ) was 0.145 microM.
[2,5-Bis(dipropylamino)-4-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl]methanol
2021
The centrosymmetric title compound, C22H36N2O2, was prepared in five steps from diethyl succinate. The dipropylamino groups are almost orthogonal to the central phenylenedimethanol ring [dihedral angle = 87.62 (9)°]. In the crystal, the molecules are connected by O—H...N hydrogen bonds, forming (101) layers separated by the propyl chains.
Fusarium proliferatum: induction and intracellular location of a lipoxygenase
1998
The fungus Fusarium proliferatum was grown in a soya oil- and glucose-supplemented medium. Induction of lipoxygenase activity (13-fold) in an extract of Fusarium biomass has been observed at day four on soya oil culture medium. A band at 232 kDa was detected using a specific lipoxygenase stain combined with native PAGE. The method of fungal homogenate obtained has been checked via subcellular marker enzymes activities: succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) for mitochondrial fraction and NADH-cytochrome C reductase (NADH-cyt. C) for the microsomal fraction. Protoplasts production and disintegration followed by subcellular fractionation using differential centrifugation was the best method to recover…
Microfibrillar polymeric ocular inserts for triamcinolone acetonide delivery.
2019
Abstract Despite eye drops generally represent the most convenient, simple and patient-friendly formulations to treat ocular diseases, they suffer from poor retention on the ocular surface and low drug bioavailability leading to the necessity of prolonged and continuous treatment over time. Therefore, ocular insert could represent an innovative way to benefit from ocular topical administration while minimizing all the relevant limitation related to this route of administration. Polymeric non-erodible mucoadhesive ocular inserts should be comfortable and should rapidly adhere on the ocular surface, remain in situ for prolonged period, assure a reproducible and controlled drug release as well…
Functional citric acid cycle in an arcA mutant of Escherichia coli during growth with nitrate under anoxic conditions
1998
The operation of the citric acid cycle of Escherichia coli during nitrate respiration (anoxic conditions) was studied by measuring end products and enzyme activities. Excretion of products other than CO2, such as acetate or ethanol, was taken as an indication for a non-functional cycle. From glycerol, approximately 0.3 mol acetate was produced; the residual portion was completely oxidized, indicating the presence of a partially active citric acid cycle. In an arcA mutant devoid of the transcriptional regulator ArcA, glycerol was completely oxidized with nitrate as an electron acceptor, demonstrating derepression and function of the complete pathway. Glucose, on the other hand, was excreted …
Anaerobic central metabolic pathways active during polyhydroxyalkanoate production in uncultured cluster 1Defluviicoccusenriched in activated sludge …
2009
A glycogen nonpolyphosphate-accumulating organism (GAO) enrichment culture dominated by the Alphaproteobacteria cluster 1 Defluviicoccus was investigated to determine the metabolic pathways involved in the anaerobic formation of polyhydroxyalkanoates, carbon storage polymers important for the proliferation of microorganisms in enhanced biological phosphorus removal processes. FISH-microautoradiography and post-FISH fluorescent chemical staining confirmed acetate assimilation as polyhydroxyalkanoates in cluster 1 Defluviicoccus under anaerobic conditions. Chemical inhibition of glycolysis using iodoacetate, and of isocitrate lyase by 3-nitropropionate and itaconate, indicated that carbon is …
Highly sensitive monoclonal antibody-based immunoassays for the analysis of fluopyram in food samples
2019
Monoclonal antibody-based techniques have become a useful analytical technology in the agro-food sector. Nowadays, residues of the recently registered fungicide fluopyram are increasingly being found in quality control programs. In the present study, novel chemical derivatives of this pesticide were prepared and specific and high-affinity monoclonal antibodies to fluopyram were raised for the first time. Moreover, immunoassays to fluopyram were developed in two alternative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay formats, using homologous and heterologous assay conjugates, with limits of detection below 0.05 µg L−1. The optimized immunoassays were applied to the analysis of fluopyram in fortified …
