Introduction. Usage of aggressive conditions (solvents, high temperature, etc.) in a dosage form manufacturing can lead to a change in the properties of a pharmaceutical substance. Darunavir (D) amorphous and darunavir ethanolate (DE) crystalline both have poor solubility, ability to pseudopolymorphism and are sensitive to high temperatures.Aim. Study the effect of solvents and drying temperature on the physicochemical properties of D and DE substancesMaterials and methods. D (Mylan Laboratories Limited), DE (Mylan Laboratories Limited), D (reference standard) 99,9 % (MSN Pharmachem Private Limited). D and DE weighed quantity was suspended in one of the solvents via magnetic stirrer and was dried via universal oven. Powder X-ray diffraction of dried samples was carried out via automatic powder diffractometer. Using DSC thermal properties of the samples were studied. Crystalline samples were examined using IR spectroscopy. Identification of D and DE was performed by HPLC method.Results and discussion. This article summarizes study results of the investigation of various solvents and drying temperature influence on the physicochemical properties of D and DE are presented. The impact of solvent type and drying temperatures in physicochemical properties of the APIs was studied by X-ray powder diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, IR spectroscopy and HPLC methods. It was shown, that solvent type and drying temperatures can result in the presence of crystalline D solvates or amorphous D.Conclusion. To obtain the final drug containing as an API amorphous D, which perform better dissolution, one of the enlisted solvents can be used: dichloromethane, chloroform and heptane. In such case the intermediate product drying should be performed at not exceeding the solvent boiling point temperatures. In case of ethanol, methanol, acetone and tetrahydrofuran drying phase can be performed at temperatures, that are higher than melting points of obtained pseudopolymorphs. For the utilization of DE as an API only ethanol usage is efficient and drying temperature should not exceed 73.4 °C.

Abstract The possible interactions between oligoamidephosphate (OAPli) and the curatives of a sulphenamide-accelerated sulphur vulcanizing system were studied by differential scanning calorimetry, IR-spectroscopy, and X-ray analysis. The interactions in double mixtures were between OAPh and zinc oxide (ZnO) and OAPh and sulphur. The OAPh/ZnO interaction that starts at room temperature seems to be the key for understanding the peculiarities of sulphenamide-accelerated sulphur vulcanization in the presence of OAPh.

To improve the physicochemical properties of valnemulin (VLM), different solid forms formed by VLM and organic acids, including tartaric acid (TAR), fumaric acid (FUM), and oxalic acid (OXA), were successfully prepared and characterized by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The excess enthalpy Hex between VLM and other organic acids was calculated by COSMOthermX software and was used to evaluate the probability of forming multi-component solids between VLM and organic acids. By thermal analysis, it was confirmed that multi-component solid forms of VLM were thermodynamically more stable than VLM itself. Through dynamic vapor sorption (DVS) experiments, it was found that three multi-component solid forms of VLM had lower hygroscopicity than VLM itself. Furthermore, the intrinsic dissolution rate of VLM and its multi-component forms was determined in one kind of acidic aqueous medium by using UV-vis spectrometry. It was found that the three multi-component solid forms of VLM dissolved faster than VLM itself.

A new Modifier with Silicon radicals as anchoring group and poly(butyl acrylate) as solvatable chain was synthesized and its effect on the properties of HDPE/Anhydrite composites was investigated in this paper. Fourier transmission infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) results show that the modifier react on the Anhydrite powder particles surface and the modified Anhydrite powder particles particles. compared with that of HDPE/Anhydrite (filled with same non-modified fraction), The impact strength, tensile strength, bending strength and Young’s modulus of modified HDPE/Anhydrite composites increased about 36.6%, 7.5%, 15.6% and 34% respectively. Based on surface analysis by scanning electron microscope (SEM), the Anhydrite powder particles buried well in HDPE matrix when Anhydrite powder particles was coated with the YB modifier. It was found that Anhydrite powder particles significantly increased the crystallization temperature and crystallization rate of HDPE by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). At same time, through the X-ray diffraction (XRD) found the addition of the YB modifier modified Anhydrite powder particles can not change the formation of crystal HDPE, but can reduce the crystallite size.

Native cassava flour can be modified to be instant flour by heating the cassava flour in ethanol solution. The impact of heating temperatures of 60, 80, and 100 °C (coded as ICF-60, ICF-80, and ICF-100) on the properties of instant cassava flour (ICF), including colour, morphological, and thermal properties, water absorption, and solubility indexes and pasting behaviour, were investigated. Results showed that ICF produced at higher temperatures exhibited lower lightness, higher redness, and yellowness values. ICF-60 and ICF-80 still displayed the granular forms and birefringence properties of native starches, while granules of ICF-100 were broken and partially lost their birefringence properties. Results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis suggested that the amylopectin double helixes of crystalline regions within the structure of ICF orientated to more perfect conformation before they were disrupted at the highest heating temperature (100 °C). During hydration, the starch granules of ICF-60 and ICF-80 absorbed water into their granules; meanwhile, ICF-100 entrapped water within the matrix formed by the entanglements of ICF-100 particles. Results of pasting behaviour analysis indicated that ICF-60 and ICF-80 showed better thermal stability while ICF-100 exhibited the highest cold viscosity.

Quercetin has been proposed to exhibit numerous pharmacological benefits yet suffer low bioavailability due to the extremely low solubility. A research to study the impact of cocrystallization of quercetin with succinic acid on the solubility and dissolution profile has been performed. Cocrystallization in molar stoichiometry of 1:1 was carried out via liquid assisted grinding with methanol in ball milling apparatus. Cocrystal formation was identified by hot stage microscopy (HSM) at first, then cocrystal phase was characterized using differential thermal analysis (DTA), powder X-ray diffractometry (PXRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Solubility and dissolution test were conducted as well. DSC thermogram exhibits new endothermic peak at 280.32°C representing the melting point of cocrystal phase alongside with endothermic point of pure compounds. Powder X-ray diffractograms show new diffraction peaks on behalf of cocrystal formation at 2θ=8.92, 9.88, 13.04, 29.78, 35.35°. FT-IR spectroscopy reveals band shifting in –OH group region. On SEM photographs, one can observe crystal habit of succinic acid being covered by crystal with different habit. This indicates that quercetin interacts with succinic acid only on the surfaces and causes imperfect formation of cocrystal phase. Cocrystallization quercetin improves solubility by 1.62 times higher and dissolution rate by 1.25 higher than pure quercetin (one-way ANOVA, p < 0.05).

&lt;p&gt;Plant residues are the main precursors of soil organic matter (SOM) and soil macrofauna is an important driver of ecological processes involved in the sequestration of carbon (C) in soils. In particular, earthworms are one of the largest contributors to soil matter formation in most terrestrial ecosystems. In the short term, they may increase the rate of OM turnover by mineralization, fragmentation and stimulation of microbial activity. On the other hand they may reduce OM degradability by forming stable aggregates and organo-mineral complexes protecting C from mineralization for longer time scales. Earthworms are classified in three main ecological groups depending on their behaviors and on their morpho-functional traits. However, their intra- or inter- ecological group effect on C stabilization needs to be investigated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this study, we explored the impact of earthworm diversity (composed of several species belonging to different ecological groups) on the physicochemical properties of casts, related to CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; emissions. We hypothesized that C mineralization in casts would be related to the ecological category.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We studied casts of 6 species (2 anecic species: Lumbricus terrestris &amp; Aporectodea nocturna, 2 endogeic species: Allolobophora icterica &amp; Aporrectodea caliginosa and 2 epigeic species: Lumbricus castaneus &amp; Eisenia fetida) produced in a silty subsoil with addition of plant litter. Casts were incubated for 140 days under similar laboratory conditions. We measured CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; mineralization, pH, elemental composition and physical cast organization by X-ray microtomography (resolution of 9.49 &amp;#181;m voxel) at 7, 42, and 140 days.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our results showed lower CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; mineralization in aggregates produced without earthworms than all earthworm casts. In the beginning of the incubation casts showed similar CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; emissions and specific physicochemical properties as OC content and pH. After 140 days, CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; emissions were earthworm species specific with Aporectodea nocturna showing highest CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; emissions, and Aporrectodea caliginosa the lowest values. Microtomographic analyses showed that this is due to an increase of cast porosity with increasing cast age coupled with a concurrent decrease particulate organic matter (POM) structures. Our first results seemed to suggest that earthworms belonging to the same ecological category influence similarly C mineralization through their impact on the cast organization.&lt;/p&gt;

In order to improve the toughness of oil casing steel N80 without the sacrifice of its original high strength, an intercritical quenching treatment was conducted under the temperature determined by a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis. Effects of intercritical quenching on the microstructure of oil casing steel N80 were characterized by means of optical microscope (OM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Tensile strength, reduction of cross-sectional area and microhardness were measured to evaluate the mechanical property of oil casing steel N80 after intercritical quenching treatment. The study results show that the tensile strength and microhardness of intercritical quenched oil casing steel N80 consisting of ferrite (F) and martensite (M) is slightly lower than that of tempered oil casing steel N80 composing of sorbite (S), yet which is still higher than that of full annealled oil casing steel N80 composing of pearlite (P) and a little amount of ferrite (F). In particular, the reduction of cross-sectional area of oil casing steel N80 intercritical quenched at 740°C is higher than those of tempered and full annealled. Additionally, both dimple and cleavage can be found on the impact fracture surface of N80 steel after intercritical quenching at 740°C. The toughness of oil casing steel N80 can be obviously improved by the intercritical quenching treatment at 740°C due to the formation of ferrite (F).
