Chemical composition of essential oils from Pinus caribaea Morelet needles
Get PDFPlant allelochemicals from essential oils have recently received considerable attention in pharmaceutical, cosmetic and agricultural sectors due to their biodegradability and low toxicity. This study analyzed the composition of essential oils of Pinus caribaea Morelet var. hondurensis needles. Thirty-nine compounds were identified using gas chromatography/mass chromatography and gas chromatography, and the most abundant components were limonene (38.6%), α-pinene (27.6%), borneol (6.7%) and myrcene (3.5%). Aristolene, ledol and guaiol were reported for the first time in P. caribeae needles. Composition of the needles was dominated by monoterpene hydrocarbons (77.2%) followed by oxygenated monoterpenes (12.0%), sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (4.7%) and oxygenated sesquiterpenes (1.7%)
Quantitative determination of Levomepromazine in pharmaceuticals by spectrophotometric method as its sulfoxide
Get PDFThe oxidative derivatization method using Diperoxyazelaic acid for the indirect spectrophotometric determination of Levomepromazine hydrochloride is presented. Diperoxyazelaic acid is introduced as a derivatizing agent for Levomepromazine, yielding the sulfoxides. This reaction product was successfully used for the spectrophotometric determination of the Levomepromazine hydrochloride. The UV spectroscopic detection of the sulfoxide proved to be a more robust and sensitive method. The elaborated method allowed the determination of Levomepromazine hydrochloride in the concentration range of 3-150 µg/mL. The limit of quantification, LOQ (10S) is 2.85 µg/mL. A new spectrophotometric technique was developed and the possibility of quantitative determination of Levomepromazine in Tisercin Solution for Injection 25mg/mL was demonstrated. The present method is precise, accurate and other excipients: anhydrous citric acid, monothioglycerol, sodium chloride did not interfere. RSD = 1.24 % (δ = –0.02 %)
Spectroscopic Studies on the Interaction Between Novel Antiviral Drug Favipiravir and Serum Albumins
Get PDFUnder physiological conditions, in vitro interaction between favipiravir (FAV) and serum albumins (BSA/HSA) was investigated at excitation wavelength 280 nm and at different temperatures (298 K, 313 K) by fluorescence emission spectroscopy. The hydrogen bond, van der Waals forces and electrostatic interaction plays a major role in stabilizing the complex; the binding constants KA at different temperatures were calculated. The distance r between donor (BSA/HSA) and acceptor (FAV) was obtained according to fluorescence resonance energy transfer (1.55/1.90 nm for BSA/HSA-FAV systems). The effect of FAV on the conformation of BSA/HSA was analyzed using synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy and UV/vis absorption spectroscopy
Study of the effectiveness of various cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) agonists using molecular docking and molecular dynamics modeling
Get PDFThe binding of a series of small organic molecules, acting as agonists of the cannabinoid receptor CB1, was investigated by means of three methods of computational chemistry. Binding modes were predicted by means of molecular docking, and binding free energy was estimated via docking, molecular-mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann surface area method, and multistate Bennett acceptance ratio. No evident correlation was observed for the molecules between the experimental characteristics of affinity and three computed binding free energy estimates. The reasons for the discrepancy were discussed
Risk assessment by seasonal variation of well water fluoride in Japan
Get PDFThis study clarified the existence of seasonal variations of Fluoride concentrations in multiple wells with different depths, and determined the appropriate time to assess chronic Fluoride toxicity considering these variations. There was up to 3.6 times more seasonal variation in F concentration at the same point. The mean F ion concentration was the lowest at 0.0766 ± 0.0197 mg/L in March, and highest at 0.2412 ± 0.0345 mg/L in December. The hazard quotients (HQ) were all < 1 at all points, and the risk of chronic Fluoride toxicity in children was low. It is necessary to carry out multiple measurements, including in periods with low rainfall, due to seasonal variations
Method for Calculating the Feed Water Replenishment Parameters under Electrolysis Process in Electrolyzer
Get PDFThe article proposes a method for calculating parameters of feed water replenishment in an alkaline electrolyzer, taking into account the given alkali concentrations and the actual electrolyte consumption. The analysis of the electrolyte specific electrical conductivity under electrolysis process is carried out. Recommendations are given for increasing the water electrolysis process efficiency by reducing energy consumption when ensuring the optimal specific electrical electrolyte conductivity at a variable alkali concentration. One of the possible algorithms is presented for calculating electrolyzer parameters to ensure its specified operational characteristics under process of hydrogen and oxygen generation
Adsorption of arsenic and phosphate from groundwater onto a calcined laterite as fixed bed in column experiments
Get PDFThis work was focused on laterite soil as adsorbent for the removal of arsenic and phosphate from groundwater using column experiments. Results revealed a decrease of arsenic removal efficiency from 100 to 79% with flow rate increasing. Maximum removal of 100% for arsenic and 85% for phosphates was obtained for pH values between 3.5 and 6. The increase of initial arsenic concentration and phosphate amount caused an increase of arsenic adsorption up to 24 µg/g while 58.5 µg/g for phosphate. NaOH solution could desorb 86.8% of arsenic and the reuse of regenerated laterite indicated its efficiency in same experimental conditions
Effects of sewage sludge biosolid amendments on the potential of maize (Zea mays L.) in phytoremediation of trace metals in chromated copper arsenate contaminated soils
Get PDFThe effect of sewage sludge amendment (5-25% w/w) on the potential of maize (MM3 variety) to phytoextract trace metals from chromated copper arsenate (CCA) contaminated soils was investigated. The metal content of fresh soils, and soils, maize roots and shoots after 80 days of planting were determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy. The concentrations of chromium, copper and arsenic in fresh CCA soils were 365.8 ± 6.18, 109.72 ± 14.04 and 28.22 ± 3.8 mg/kg respectively. The MM3 maize variety could be used to phytoextract or phytostabilize the trace metals in the CCA contaminated soils without or with 5-25% sewage sludge amendment
Modelling thermodynamic properties of binary Cu–Eu and ternary Al–Cu–Eu melts
Get PDFModel calculations of the whole set of thermodynamic properties of liquid alloys for the binary Cu–Eu and ternary Al–Cu–Eu systems have been performed. Authors used the ideal associated solution model (IAS model) for calculation of the entropies and excess Gibbs energies of mixing for these systems. The binaries were given as the Redlich-Kister polynomials. The thermodynamic properties for the ternary system are described using the Redlich-Kister-Muggianu formalism. A comparison of the surfaces of excess Gibbs energy and entropy of mixing for liquid Al–Cu–Eu alloys at 1350 K demonstrates that the ordering related to the formation of rather strong associates in the Al–Eu system significantly affects the concentration dependence of the excess Gibbs energy of mixing in the liquid phase at this temperature
Influence of exogenous, physiological and factors of chronic inflammatory process on indicators of disturbances of adaptive processes of the person
Get PDFChanges in laboratory parameters can be caused by physical, chemical, biological and other external factors, depending on physiological conditions, in most cases they have an adaptive nature, and it is not always possible to distinguish them from physiological fluctuations. At the same time, obvious shifts in laboratory parameters may indicate a violation of adaptation processes and damage of tissues and organs, despite the absence of clinical manifestations of a disease
