In order to investigate the potential of Al_SBA-16 Mesoporous Nanomaterial as a candidate for radiopharmaceutical vehicles, the studies of kinetics, thermodynamic, and in vitro stability of Iodide adsorption onto the nanomaterial have been carried out. The adsorption study was conducted at different temperature, time, and iodide concentration and observed with spectrophotometric techniques. The isotherm adsorption was fitted with Langmuir and Freundlich model and the thermodynamic parameters were determined at temperatures of 293K, 301K, 308K, and 313K. Moreover, the adsorption kinetics was analyzed in terms of pseudo first order model for Al_SBA-16 Mesoporous Nanomaterial and Iodide and pseudo second order in overall reaction. The activation energy was determined by using Arrhenius equation, meanwhile, the in vitro stability testing was conducted in phosphate buffer saline at pH variation for 5.5 to 7.0, and at temperature variation for 20C to 45C and at testing time variation for 6 to 48 hours. The result indicate that the adsorption obeys the Langmuir isotherm model and has a tendency to be chemical adsorption with a value of H was -116.641 kJ/mol and the nature of spontaneous reactions. The adsorption process followed the pseudo-first-order model and the apparent activation energy was 41.26 kJ/mol. In the present research work, the in vitro stability data were evaluated using P-Value and the theory of Hypothesis Testing or Fisher's significance test. The result of hypothesis testing show that, the adsorption of iodide onto Al_SBA-16 Mesoporous Nanomaterial were highly stable under the experimental conditions adopted.

Kinetics of hydrodesulfurization of dibenzothiophene (DBT) has been studied on a commercial CoMo/γ-Al2O3 catalyst at 633 - 683 K and 10 atm. A low DBT concentration typically obtained in hydrodesulfurization operations was used. Pseudo-first-order model was found to fit the experimental data for the consumption of DBT. The activation energy for the conversion of DBT was found to be 51.7 kcal/mol. Biphenyl (BP) and cyclohexylbenzene (CHB) were obtained as dominant products. For the reaction network, both parallel and parallel-sequential routes were explored. The latter was found to give a better description of the BP and CHB distributions. The ratio of BP to CHB depended on the reaction temperature. The values of activation energies of DBT hydrogenolysis to BP (EBP), DBT hydrogenation to CHB (ECHB1) and hydrogenation of BP to CHB (ECHB2) were found to be in a decreasing order of ECHB2 > EBP > ECHB1. The result suggests the presence of different catalytic sites leading to the two products on the catalysts.

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.

The immobilization and stabilization of Aspergillus oryzae ?-galactosidase on Duolite??A568 was achieved using a combination of physical adsorption, incubation step in buffer at pH 9.0 and cross-linking with glutaraldehyde and in this sequence promoted a 44% increase in enzymatic activity as compared with the biocatalyst obtained after a two-step immobilization process (adsorption and cross-linking). The stability of the biocatalyst obtained by three-step immobilization process (adsorption, incubation in buffer at pH 9.0 and cross-linking) was higher than that obtained by two-steps (adsorption and cross-linking) and for free enzyme in relation to pH, storage and reusability. The immobilized biocatalyst was characterized with respect to thermal stability in the range 55-65 ?C. The kinetics of thermal deactivation was well described by the first-order model, which resulted in the immobilized biocatalyst activation energy of thermal deactivation of 71.03 kcal/mol and 5.48 h half-life at 55.0 ?C.

Abstract This work investigated the efficiency of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) as support material for TiO2 films in the photocatalytic degradation of red Bordeaux and yellow tartrazine dyes. The optimum operating conditions were determined by a factorial design, which resulted after 180 min of treatment in degradations of 99.5% and 99.1% for the UVC/H2O2/TiO2Sup and solar/H2O2/TiO2Sup systems, respectively. For the kinetic study, the experimental data fitted to the pseudo-first-order model and the calculated kinetic constants (k) values were 0.03 min−1 for the UVC/H2O2/TiO2Sup system and 0.0213 min−1 for the system solar/H2O2/TiO2Sup. It was verified that TiO2 supported in the PET remained with high degradation efficiency even after five cycles of reuse, indicating a good stability of the photocatalyst in the support. A significant reduction of TOC content was also observed along the reaction time. The phytotoxicity bioassay with Lactuca sativa demonstrated that after treatment with UVC/H2O2/TiO2Sup and solar/H2O2/TiO2SUP, an increase in IC50 and consequently lower toxicity was observed.

Abstract The kinetics of the alkaline rearrangement of O,O-dimethyl-(2,2,2-trichloro-1- hydroxyethyl)phosphonate, (trichlorfon, 1), the active insecticidal component in such formulations as Dylox, was followed at 25±0.5°C by high pressure liquid chromatography (UV-vis detector, 210 nm). The rearrangement product, O,Odimethyl- O-(2,2-dichloroethenyl)phosphate (dichlorovos, 2), which is a more potent biocide than trichlorfon, undergoes further reaction, and the kinetics, consequently, cannot be treated by a standard pseudo-first-order plot. A two-point van't Hoff (initial rates) method was used to obtain pseudo-first-order rate constants (kѱ) at 25, 35 and 45°C: 2.6 × 10-6, 7.4 × 10-6 and 2.5 × 10-5 s-1, respectively. Arrhenius treatment of this data gave an activation energy (Ea) of 88 kJ·mol-1 with a pre-exponential factor (A) of 5.5 × 109 s-1. Kinetic trials at pH 8.0 using phosphate and tris buffer systems show no buffer catalysis in this reaction and indicate that the rearrangement is subject to specific base catalysis. Estimates are reported for pseudo-first-order half-lives for trichlorfon at pH 8.0 for environmental conditions in aqueous systems in the Corner Brook region of western Newfoundland, part of the site of a recent trichlorfon aerial spray program.

The exchange of potassium between cells and plasma of heparinized human blood has been studied in vitro using the radioactive isotope K42. The changes in cell and plasma specific activity are characteristic of a simple two-compartment system. The mean of seven determinations of the exchange rate at 38°C. is 1.8 per cent of the cellular potassium per hour. The results indicate that at 38°C. the rate is relatively insensitive to oxygenation or reduction of the hemoglobin, and to 1200 r of gamma radiation. With varying temperature the rate follows pseudo first order kinetics with a Q10 of 2.35. Below 15°C. the rate of loss of potassium exceeds the rate of uptake.

The ciprofloxacin (CIP) removal ability of a Fe-Cu electrolytic material was examined with respect to pH (2–9), time (15–150 min), shaking speed (100–250 rpm), material mass (0.2–3 g/L), temperature (298, 308, 323) and initial CIP concentration (30–200 mg/L). The Fe-Cu electrolytic materials were fabricated by the chemical plating method, and Fe-C materials were mechanically mixed from iron powder and graphite. The results show that at a pH value of 3, shaking time 120 min, shaking speed 250 rpm, a mass of Fe-Cu, Fe-C material of 2 g/L and initial CIP concentration of 203.79 mg/L, the CIP removal efficiency of Fe-Cu material reached 90.25% and that of Fe-C material was 85.12%. The removal of CIP on Fe-Cu and Fe-C materials follows pseudo-first-order kinetics. The activation energy of CIP removal of Fe-Cu material is 14.93 KJ/mol and of Fe-C material is 16.87 KJ/mol. The positive ΔH proves that CIP removal is endothermic. A negative entropy of 0.239 kJ/mol and 0.235 kJ/mol (which is near zero and is also relatively positive) indicated the rapid removal of the CIP molecules into the removed products.

Aim: The present research work discussed the preparation of lomustine loaded with chitosan nanoparticles (LNCp) by ionic gelation method with homogenization using the design on experiments by Box-Behnken design. Methods: The nanoparticles are evaluated by particle size, zeta potential, surface morphology, drug content, entrapment efficiency and in-vitro drug release. Results: The FT-IR results support that drug have no interaction with excipients, which are used in the preparation of nanoparticle. The particle size, drug content and encapsulation efficiency of the developed nanoparticles ranged from 190 to 255 nm, 80.88% to 94.02%, and 77.12 to 88.74%, respectively. The drug release rate is diffusion-controlled over 8 hours. The F-value for all of the responses shows that the models are significant. The p-value, less than 0.05 for all the responses reveals the significance of the models. Graphical optimisation is done by desirability plot and overlay plot, which contains optimal values of independent variables with the desirability of 1. Conclusion: In conclusion, the results suggested that the optimised lomustine loaded chitosan nanoparticles are useful for brain targeting hence hold the potential for further research and clinical application.

The acetate-catalyzed epimerization of 1,1,1-trichloro-2-hydroxy-3-methyl-4-hexanone has been studied in glacial acetic acid as solvent at five different temperatures. The reaction follows pseudo first-order, reversible kinetics and is associated with an activation energy of 24.0 ± 0.4 kcal/mol. Rate and product studies have shown that epimerization occurs by an enolization–ketonization pathway rather than dehydration–rehydration or retroaldol–aldolization. The ratio of diastereomeric ketols formed by condensation of 2-pentanone and 2-heptanone with chloral does not change as a function of time while the stereochemistry of the chloral addition to cyclohexanone is kinetically controlled during the initial reaction period.
