Electro-Oxidation Of Some Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs On An Alumina Nanoparticle-Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode, Mahla Tabeshnia, Hossein Heli, Ali Jabbari, Ali A. Moosavi-Movahedi

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The electro-oxidation of mefenamic acid, diclofenac, and indomethacin on glassy carbon and alumina nanoparticle-modified glassy carbon electrodes in a phosphate buffer solution at physiological pH was studied. The techniques of cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, impedance spectroscopy, and steady state polarization measurements were applied. The drugs were irreversibly oxidized on bath electrodes via an anodic peak and the process was controlled by diffusion in the bulk of solution. Alumina nanoparticles increased the oxidation current, and lowered the peak and onset potentials. As such, alumina nanoparticles had an electrocatalytic effect, both kinetically and thermodynamically. The kinetic parameters of heterogeneous electron transfer and diffusion …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A convenient route to synthesize some new medicinally important 7-hydroxy-3-pyrazolyl chromones (3a-i) is described. The interaction of 7-hydroxy-3-formyl chromone (1) with various substituted acetophenones and further cyclization with hydrazine hydrate in an aprotic solvent followed by condensation with 2, 3, 4, 6-tetra-o-acetyl-\alpha-dglucopyranosyl bromide afforded 2, 3, 4, 6-tetra-o-acetyl-\beta-d-glucopyranosyloxy-3-(3-aryl-1H-pyrazol-5- yl)-4H-chromen-4-ones (4a-i). Later deacetylation with anhydrous zinc acetate in methanol gave 7-o-\beta-d-glucopyranosyloxy-3-(3-aryl- 1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-4H-chromen-4-ones (5a-i). These compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antimicrobial and anti-oxidant activity.

The FTIR spectra confirmed that new hydrogen bonds had formed between the carbonylic group belonging to THP and the amino group of CS, while the thermogravimetric analysis showed a modified stability in the obtained particles and confirmed the presence of an interaction between the drug and CS. The THP release process was monitored for up …


Stabilizing Cyclacene Molecules, Muthana Shanshal Jan 2010

Stabilizing Cyclacene Molecules, Muthana Shanshal

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

It is shown that introducing a single methylene group into each trannulene ring of a cyclacene molecule compels the formation of a non-bonded molecular orbital, NBMO, in the ring. The union of both trannulenes conforms to a first order perturbation change in the total energy according to Dewar's PMO theory. The NBMO coefficients can be calculated then according to Coulson's pairing theorem. The PMO calculated new HOMO-LUMO energies of the cyclacene indicate the relative stabilization of the singlet over the triplet state of the cyclacene. The results are confirmed by the DFT calculation of differently substituted bis, methylene cyclacenes. The …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The crystal structure of (E)-3-[(3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenylimino)- methyl]benzene-1,2-diol was determined using X-ray diffraction and the molecular structure was investigated with density functional theory (DFT). The X-ray study showed that the title compound has a strong intramolecular O-H...N hydrogen bond and 3-dimensional crystal networks are primarily determined by O-H...O intermolecular hydrogen bonds and weak van der Waals interactions. The strong O-H...N bond is evidence of the preference for the phenol-imine tautomeric form in the solid state. Optimized molecular geometry was calculated with DFT at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level.

A series of 3-hydroxy-6-methyl-2-[(substitutedpiperidine-1-yl) methyl]-4H-pyran-4-one structured compounds were synthesized by reacting 5-hydroxy-2-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one with suitable piperidine derivatives using Mannich reaction conditions. Antibacterial activities of the compounds for E. coli ATCC 25922, S. paratyphi ATCC BAA-1250, S. flexneri ATCC 12022, E. gergoviae ATCC 33426, and M. smegmatis ATCC 14468 were assessed in vitro by the broth dilution method for determination of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). In addition, their inhibitory effects over DNA gyrase enzyme were evaluated using a DNA gyrase supercoiling assay. All the synthesized compounds showed a MIC value of either 8 or 16 \mu g/mL for M. smegmatis, whereas minimum …

Using glucose oxidase as a model enzyme, a novel rhodanine derivative chemiluminescence biosensor for the determination of glucose was formed based on multilayer-enzyme membrane as receptor, which was assembled via layer-by-layer assembly of sol-gel and glucose oxidase-gold nano-particles inside a glass tube. Compared with the traditional chemiluminescence biosensor, the proposed biosensor had some remarkable advantages, such as good selectivity of substrate, good response performance, good stability, good sensitivity, and longer service life. The linear range was from 1.0 \times 10^{-6} to 5.0 \times 10^{-2} mol L^{-1} (r = 0.9991). The detection limit was 5.0 \times 10^{-7} mol L^{-1}. In this …
