ABSTRACT

 

The solubility enhancement of two poorly soluble drugs: risperidone (Risp) and itraconazole (Itra) by complexation with cyclodextrins has been investigated in aqueous medium. The various factors influencing the solubility enhancement such as temperature, pH, ionic strength and types of cyclodextrins have been considered. Linear and nonlinear least squares analysis of phase solubility diagrams of Risp and Itra with aqueous cyclodextrins have been conducted to obtain the corresponding individual guest-host complex formation constants. Molecular mechanics calculations using MM (atomic charges and bond dipole algorithms) and Amber force fields have been applied to study the complexation of cyclodextrin with both drugs to rationalize the stoichiometry and determine the optimal geometries of the complexes.

The complexation ability of Risp toward studied cyclodextrins is in the order  b- > HP- b- > g- > a-CD. For neutral Itra the order was HP--> - cyclodextrin. The 1 :1 complex formation constant of Risp:HP--CD is found to increase with increase in the phosphate buffer concentration in accord with the hydrophobic interactions which are enhanced with the increase in the ionic strength. Thermodynamic studies show that the 1:1 complex formation is driven by enthalpy for both drugs, however the overall complex (1:2 for Risp, 1:3 for Itra) is entropy driven. Complex stability is found to vary with pH, with a higher formation constant for the neutral species. Synergistic studies show that, although risperidone has a high solubility at low pH but the solubility of -cyclodextrin was enhanced remarkably, indicating the formation of complex even at low pH. The three computational methods used in this work give similar results concerning the structures of the inclusion complexes. Van der Waals interactions seem to be dominant over electrostatic interactions in neutral solute-cyclodextrin complexes. Relaxation of the cyclodextrin macrocycle upon guest inclusion is probably significant as a driving force for guest inclusion.

ABSTRACT

The fluorescence quenching of various substituted polystyrenes by terephthalate plasticizers will be investigated in solvents of different polarity and in solid films.

From the Stern-Volmer quenching constant and the calculated fluorescence decay lifetime of the polymer, the values for the quenching rate constant and quenching cross-section will be calculated.

ABSTRACT

 

      Kinetics of oxidation of cysteine by Co(III), Fe(III), Mn(III), and Cr(III) based complexes with the ligands; amine (NH3), 2,2'-bipyridine (bipy), ethylenediamine (en), acetylacetonate (acac), bromoacetylacetonate (acac-Br), nitroacetylacetonate (acac-NO2) N,N'-bis(salicylidine)-1,2-ethylenediamine (salen), N,N'-bis(salicylidene)-1,2-phenylenediamine (salphen) and (1R,2R)- (-)- N,N’-bis(3,5-di-t- butyl-salicylidene) -1,2- cyclohexyldiamine (ch-salen), have been investigated spectrophotometrically. The measurements were done in the visible region, under pseudo first order condition, at 25 oC, pH = 7 and ionic strength = 0.5 M. The value of the observed rate constant and that of the overall rate constant were determined. The effect of different variables on the rate of the reaction was studied. The type of the ligand has the most significant effect on the reaction rate, followed by the geometry of the complex, the metal center, the solvent type, and finally, the weakly coordinated ligand. As the ligand becomes bulky, the rate increases in cobalt complexes (bipy > en > NH3). The opposite was found for iron complexes (bipy > salen). As the weakly coordinated ligands, such as (acac and Cl), increases in size, the reaction rate decreases. The metal center affects the reaction rate according to their reduction potentials; when the reduction potential of the metal increases, the rate of the reaction increases in the absence of a bulky ligand such as salen. Also, it was observed that geometric isomers affect the rate differently; the rate of oxidation with cis- isomer is faster than that with the trans- isomer. The solvent type also affects the rate, as it is found that the rate of reaction in ethanol is higher than that in water. Generally, the reaction follows an outer-sphere mechanism in the absence of a bridging ligand; else it follows an inner-sphere mechanism. Also, it was found that the outer-sphere configuration is faster than the inner-sphere configuration.

ABSTRACT

 

Herein, it has been envisaged to synthesize some new ruthenium (II) complexes bearing simple cheap diamine ligand systems leading to new structural features at the active metal center, which is expected to give similar or more potential catalytic activity with cheaper catalyst than what is reported in the literature. The catalytic activity measurements will be made on the trans-4-phenyl-3-butene-2-one (Scheme 2) as an example ofa,b-unsaturated ketone.

ABSTRACT

 

         The project aims at synthesizing a series of new oxime ligands based on chiral triazinone compounds. These should have interesting chiroptical properties and their complexes should also have important structural properties (carbon-carbon couplings  have been observed in the first phase of the project). It is also anticipitated that the complexes may have some biological activities such as antibacterial or antifungul activities. The platinum complexes may also have some antitumor activity.
