ABSTRACT: This study evaluated the effects of temperature on the pH of extracts of ascorbic acid and anthocyanins from petals of butterfly pea, as well as their in vitro digestive stability in model systems at 60, 70, and 80 °C. The pH values significantly decreased with an increase in the temperature (P < 0.05). The findings were similar for the degradation of anthocyanins and ascorbic acid, which followed first-order kinetics in all the systems. The samples heated at 80 °C presented the highest degradation rate (kobs), as well as higher percentages of degradation at the end of digestive stability in vitro.

The method of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is established to determine the content of antibacterial agent — ciprofloxacin (CF) in the degradation solution of ciprofloxacin-polyurethane (CFPU) and investigate the in vitro degradation kinetics by plotting and fitting the cumulative release curves to inspect the effects of different medium and different concentrations on drug release. The results showed that the HPLC method is accurate, reliable and simple. The drug-release of CFPU was bioresponsive and could be accorded with first order kinetics. It was observed that CF was released from CFPU by a combination of diffusion and erosion mechanism, mainly in the manner of diffusion in the absence of infection while erosion mechanism in the presence of infection.

The degradation of chlorpyrifos is investigated with the treatments of sonolysis, ozonolysis, and sonolytic ozonolysis at various frequencies. Results show that there exists frequency effect in sonolytic ozonolysis. In sonolytic ozonolysis, the maximum degradation rate is obtained at 495 kHz, and the degradation kinetics is fitted to the first-order kinetics model well. However, the most significant synergistic effect between ultrasonic and ozone is at 124 kHz. The kinetics parameters indicate that chlorpyrifos is much more labile to ultrasonic at 495 kHz, while ozone is much more soluble at 124 kHz. The hydrolysis and oxidation are deduced to contribute to the degradation reaction and the degradation pathway for chlorpyrifos degradation is proposed.

Abstract. Degradation of reactive brilliant red X-3B (X-3B) by a UV/Mn2+/H2O2/micro- aeration method was investigated. The influencing factors of degradation of X-3B including UV irradiation, aeration, pH value, H2O2 concentration and X-3B concentration were examined. The results show that X-3B was effectively degraded by the UV/Mn2+/H2O2/micro-aeration method. The degradation rate of X-3B was obtained from weighted linear least squares analysis of the experimental data, and accorded with the pseudo-first order kinetics equation.

Ramosetron hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt of ramosetron, a selective serotonin (5-HT3) receptor antagonist with potential antiemetic activity. Upon administration, ramosetron selectively binds to and blocks the activity of 5-HT subtype 3 (5-HT3) receptors located in the vagus nerve terminal and the vomiting center of central nervous system (CNS), suppressing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. Degradation of Ramosetron HCl was conducted with 0.1N NaOH at 60°C, 70°C and 80°C to study the reaction kinetics. The reaction rate constants (k) for degradation at 60°C, 70°C and 80°C were -2.2680 molL-1s-1 , -3.3714 molL-1s-1 and -5.3686 molL-1s-1 for zero order and -1.05 x 10-2s-1, -1.60 x 10-2s-1 and -2.70 x 10-2s-1 for first order kinetics, respectively. The activation energy of Ramosetron HCl was found as 10.05 kcalmol-1 by using Arrhenius equation. Dhaka Univ. J. Pharm. Sci. 17(2): 167-173, 2018 (December)

A new model for describing forage degradation kinetics during incubation in the rumen using polyester bags is presented. Attention is given to dealing with the problem of deviations from exponential behaviour in the early stages of degradation by devising a function capable of representing exponential or sigmoidal trends. This is achieved by allowing part of the fractional degradation rate to vary with time of incubation, thus enabling responses other than those expected under simple first-order kinetics to be described. Seven sets of data consisting of 620 curves were analysed to study the performance of the new model compared with a commonly used exponential model. The proportion of significantly better fits varied from set to set. The new model deals successfully with sigmoidal behaviour and, thus, provides a means of analysing the degradation profiles of low-quality

The degradation kinetics of biotransformation products of nonylphenol polyethoxylates (NPEOs), nonylphenol (NP), nonylphenol monoethoxylate (NP1EO) and nonylphenoxy carboxylic acid (NP1EC), by ozonation and UV/TiO2 (ultraviolet photocatalytic degradation in the presence of titanium dioxide suspension as a catalyst) were investigated using lab-scale reactors. The degradation rate of NP by UV/TiO2 was the highest among the tested NPEOs metabolites, while NP1EC showed the lowest degradation rate. In contrast, ozonation was especially effective for the breakdown of NP1EC. NP could be also degraded efficiently by ozonation, however, it was much less effective for NP1EO decomposition. Degradation of NP by both chemical oxidation processes followed first-order kinetics. The degradation curves of NP1EO and NP1EC could be approximately described by first-order kinetics also, although the degradation of NP1EC by ozonation seemed to follow a second-order kinetic.

Studies were undertaken to evaluate gaseous pollutants in workplace air within pulp and paper mills and to consider the effectiveness of photo-catalytic treatment of this air. Ambient air at 30 sampling sites in five pulp and paper mills of southern China were sampled and analyzed. The results revealed that formaldehyde and various benzene-based molecules were the main gaseous pollutants at these five mills. A photo-catalytic reactor system with titanium dioxide (TiO2) was developed and evaluated for degradation of formaldehyde, benzene and their mixtures. The experimental results demonstrated that both formaldehyde and benzene in their pure forms could be completely photo-catalytic degraded, though the degradation of benzene was much more difficult than that for formaldehyde. Study of the photo-catalytic degradation kinetics revealed that the degradation rate of formaldehyde increased with initial concentration fitting a first-order kinetics reaction. In contrast, the degradation rate of benzene had no relationship with initial concentration and degradation did not conform to first-order kinetics. The photo-catalytic degradation of formaldehyde-benzene mixtures indicated that formaldehyde behaved differently than when treated in its pure form. The degradation time was two times longer and the kinetics did not reflect a first-order reaction. The degradation of benzene was similar in both pure form and when mixed with formaldehyde.

Background: Prodrugs principle is widely used to improve the pharmacological and pharmacokinetic properties of some active drugs. Much effort was made to develop metronidazole prodrugs to enhance antibacterial activity and or to improve pharmacokinetic properties of the molecule or to lower the adverse effects of metronidazole. Objective: In this work, the pharmacokinetic properties of some of monoterpenes and eugenol pro metronidazole molecules that were developed earlier were evaluated in-vitro. The kinetic hydrolysis rate constants and half-life time estimation of the new metronidazole derivatives were calculated using the validated RP-HPLC method. Method: Chromatographic analysis was done using Zorbbax Eclipse eXtra Dense Bonding (XDB)-C18 column of dimensions (250 mm, 4.6 mm, 5 μm), at ambient column temperature. The mobile phase was a mixture of sodium dihydrogen phosphate buffer of pH 4.5 and methanol in gradient elution, at 1ml/min flow rate. The method was fully validated according to the International Council for Harmonization (ICH) guidelines. The hydrolysis process carried out in an acidic buffer pH 1.2 and in an alkaline buffer pH 7.4 in a thermostatic bath at 37ºC. Results: The results followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. All metronidazole prodrugs were stable in the acidic pH, while they were hydrolysed in the alkaline buffer within a few hours (6-8 hr). The rate constant and half-life values were calculated, and their values were found to be 0.082- 0.117 hr-1 and 5.9- 8.5 hr., respectively. Conclusion: The developed method was accurate, sensitive, and selective for the prodrugs. For most of the prodrugs, the hydrolysis followed pseudo-first-order kinetics; the method might be utilised to conduct an in-vivo study for the metronidazole derivatives with monoterpenes and eugenol.

A comparative study of chemical stability of terfenadine (TER) and itsin vivometabolite fexofenadine (FEX) was performed. Both TER and FEX were subjected to high temperature at different pH and UV/VIS light at different pH and then quantitatively analyzed using new validated LC-UV methods. These methods were used to monitor the degradation processes and to determine the kinetics of degradation for both the compounds. As far as the effects of temperature and pH were concerned, FEX occurred more sensitive to degradation than TER. As far as the effects of UV/VIS light and pH were concerned, the both drugs were similarly sensitive to high doses of light. Using all stress conditions, the processes of degradation of TER and FEX followed the first-order kinetics. The results obtained for these two antihistaminic drugs could be helpful in developing their new derivatives with higher activity and stability at the same time.

The stability of chlorophylls toward UV irradiation was studied by Vis spectrophotometry in extracts containing mixtures of photosynthetic pigments in acetone and n-hexane. The chlorophylls underwent destruction (bleaching) obeying first-order kinetics. The bleaching was governed by three major factors: the energy input of the UV photons, the concentration of the chlorophylls and the polarity of the solvent, implying different molecular organizations of the chlorophylls in the two solvents.
