Corn wet mill effluents are studied in terms of their characteristics relevant for biological treatment. They have a high COD of mainly soluble and biodegradable nature, with practically no soluble inert components. They generate a relatively high level of soluble residual metabolic products, which affects the choice of the appropriate biological treatment and favors aerobic activated sludge process. Experimental assessment of process kinetics yields typical values. Hydrolysis of the slowly biodegradable COD, the rate limiting step for the utilization of substrate, is characterized by an overall rate coefficient, which is within the range commonly associated for the hydrolysis of starch.

Competition experiments in which 1,2-phenylenediamine, C6H4(NH2)2, condenses with equimolar quantities of benzil, (C6H5CO)2, and a 3,3′- or 4,4′-disubstituted benzil (XC6H4CO)2 (X = F, Cl, Br, CH3 or CH3O) to form a mixture of 2,3-diphenylquinoxaline and the corresponding 2,3-diarylquinoxaline (Ar = XC6H4) in the microdroplets produced in a nebuliser allow a Hammett relationship with a ρ value of 1.85 to be developed for this accelerated condensation in the nebuliser. This structure reactivity relationship reveals that an appreciable amount of negative charge builds up on the carbon of the carbonyl group of the benzil during the rate-limiting step of the reaction, thus confirming that this process involves nucleophilic addition of the 1,2-phenylenediamine to the benzil. In general, the presence of an electron donating substituent, particularly in the 4 and 4′ positions, in the benzil retards the reaction, whereas an electron attracting substituent, especially in the 3 and 3′ position, accelerates it.

The reactions of a series of methyl para-substituted phenylpropiolates 1a–e with piperidine, morpholine, and diethylamine in methanol and dimethylformamide (DMF) have been studied and their rates measured. The products were methyl β-(N,N-dialkylamino)-p-substituted cinnamates 2–4a–e. 1H NMR spectra were used to determine the configuration of the products. The ρ values in methanol ranged between 0.34 and 1.24 whereas in DMF they were between 0.85 and 1.88. The values of ΔS≠ favor a bimolecular rate-limiting step mechanism. Key words: nucleophilic addition to acetylenic esters.

Antiemetics modify gastric emptying, a rate-limiting step in drug absorption. The absorption of effervescent paracetamol in water solution was studied in three groups of 10 female patients during acute migraine attacks. Paracetamol was preceded 30 min earlier by a rectal dose of metoclopramide, prochlorperazine maleate, or placebo. Each patient was retested with paracetamol when headache-free. Migraine attacks delayed slightly the absorption of paracetamol solution. Prior administration of rectal prochlorperazine had a minor delaying effect on paracetamol absorption. The peak concentration, the time to reach the peak, and the area under the time-concentration curve from 0 to 6 h of paracetamol were similar with the three treatments.

ABSTRACT Among the TEM-type extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs), an amino acid change at Ambler position 104 (Glu to Lys) results in increased resistance to ceftazidime and cefotaxime when found with other substitutions (e.g., Gly238Ser and Arg164Ser). To examine the role of Asp104 in SHV β-lactamases, site saturation mutagenesis was performed. Our goal was to investigate the properties of amino acid residues at this position that affect resistance to penicillins and oxyimino-cephalosporins. Unexpectedly, 58% of amino acid variants at position 104 in SHV expressed in Escherichia coli DH10B resulted in β-lactamases with lowered resistance to ampicillin. In contrast, increased resistance to cefotaxime was demonstrated only for the Asp104Arg and Asp104Lys β-lactamases. When all 19 substitutions were introduced into the SHV-2 (Gly238Ser) ESBL, the most significant increases in cefotaxime and ceftazidime resistance were noted for both the doubly substituted Asp104Lys Gly238Ser and the doubly substituted Asp104Arg Gly238Ser β-lactamases. Correspondingly, the overall catalytic efficiency (k cat/Km ) of hydrolysis for cefotaxime was increased from 0.60 ± 0.07 μM−1 s−1 (mean ± standard deviation) for Gly238Ser to 1.70 ± 0.01 μM−1 s−1 for the Asp104Lys and Gly238Ser β-lactamase (threefold increase). We also showed that (i) k 3 was the rate-limiting step for the hydrolysis of cefotaxime by Asp104Lys, (ii) the Km for cefotaxime of the doubly substituted Asp104Lys Gly238Ser variant approached that of the Gly238Ser β-lactamase as pH increased, and (iii) Lys at position 104 functions in an energetically additive manner with the Gly238Ser substitution to enhance catalysis of cephalothin. Based on this analysis, we propose that the amino acid at Ambler position 104 in SHV-1 β-lactamase plays a major role in substrate binding and recognition of oxyimino-cephalosporins and influences the interactions of Tyr105 with penicillins.
