Different chitosan carboxylic salts were successfully prepared via a simple way using chitosan and oxalic, fumaric, salicylic acid for the first time. The characterizations of the salts were evaluated by FT-IR, 13C NMR, 1H NMR, elemental analysis, XRD. The solution properties and moisture absorption-retention abilities of the salts were compared with chitosan. The result indicated that chitosan and carboxylic acid were combined with salt bond. The properties of the salts were related to the type of carboxylic acid added and the formation of salt bond. The water-solubility, wetting effect and moisture-retention absorption abilities of the salts were better than chitosan. They therefore have the potential to substitute for chitosan for easy use as coating in food preservation.

Synthesis of flavanone-6-carboxylic acid derivatives had been conducted via the route of chalcone. The synthesis was carried out from salicylic acid derivative, i.e. 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, via esterification, Fries rearrangement, Claisen-Schmidt condensation and 1,4-nucleophilic addition reactions. Structure elucidation of products was performed using FT-IR, 1H-NMR, GC-MS and UV-Vis spectrometers. Reaction of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid with methanol catalyzed with sulfuric acid produced methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate in 87% yield. The acid-catalyzed-acetylation of the product using acetic anhydride gave methyl 4-acetoxybenzoate in 75% yield. Furthermore, solvent-free Fries rearrangement of methyl 4-acetoxybenzoate in the presence of AlCl3 produced 3-acetyl-4-hydroxybenzoic acid as the acetophenone derivatives in 67% yield. Then, Claisen-Schmidt condensation of the acetophenone and benzaldehyde derivatives of p-anisaldehyde and veratraldehyde in basic condition gave 2'-hydroxychalcone-5'-carboxylic acid derivatives  in 81 and 71 % yield, respectively. Finally, the ring closure reaction of the chalcone yielded the corresponding flavanone-6-carboxylic acids in 67 and 59% yield, respectively.

Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to improve the ocular delivery for ketorolactromethamine (KT) used to treat inflammation of the eye.Methods: Eudragit nanoparticles loaded with KT were prepared and incorporated in polyvinylalcohol (PVA) and hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) films. Nanoparticles were characterized byFourier transform-infrared (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Physicochemicalproperties and encapsulation effciency were investigated for nanoparticles. Also, the insertswere evaluated for their physiochemical parameters like percentage moisture absorption,percentage moisture loss, thickness and folding endurance.Results: Mean particle size and zeta potential were in range of 153.8-217 nm and (-10.8) -(-40.7) mV, respectively. The results show that the use of a surfactant has not led to any majorchange on drug loading. The loading increases with the amount of polymer. The insert had athickness varying from 0.072 ± 0.0098 to 0.0865 ± 0.0035 mm. The thicknesses of the insertsand the folding endurance increased with the total polymer concentration. The physicochemicalproperties showed that the Eudragit® L-100 nanoparticles loaded PVA-HEC films could be aneffective carrier for KT.Conclusion: For the first time, inserts of Eudragit nanoparticles were successfully prepared forophthalmic drug delivery system to prevent frequent drug administration and enhance patientcompliance.<br />

The present work reports on complexation of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) with salicylic acid (SA) by vacuum evaporation and inclusion behavior confirmed by FT-IR, OM and SEM. Complex stoichiometry, release mechanism and skin sensitivity were evaluated. The results showed that SA could be encapsulated into cyclodextrin at the ratio of 1:1. Negative values of Gibbs free energy, enthalpy and entropy changes indicated a feasible, spontaneous and exothermic process. Release studies evidenced a burst release in first 2 h, followed by a sustained release and the release rate was temperature-dependent. Furthermore, an improved water solubility and significant reduced irritation effect of SA could be obtained by HP-β-CD.

Efficient steps towards the synthesis of novel (phenyl)(1&#039;-aryl-1,5,5&#039;-triphenyl[3,3&#039;-bi-1Hpyrazol]- 4-yl)methanones 4a-e were developed. The procedure starts from 1-(4-benzoyl-1,5-diphenyl- 1H-3-pyrazolyl)-3-phenyl-2-propyn-1-one (2) which was synthesized by a palladium catalyzed crosscoupling reaction. Compound 2 reacted with various hydrazines to give (E)-(phenyl)[1,5-diphenyl-3- [3-phenyl-1-(2-arylhydrazono)-2-propyn-1-yl]-1H-4-pyrazolyl]methanones E-3a-e. The bis-pyrazole derivatives 4a-e were synthesized from electrophilic cyclization reaction of &#945;,&#946;-acetylenic hydrazones E-3a-e and copper(I) iodide. All synthesized compounds were characterized by FT-IR, 1H, 13C NMR and Mass spectral analyses.

In an attempt to prepare sustainable epoxy thermosets, this study introduces for the first time the idea to use antagonist structures (aromatic/aliphatic) or functionalities (acid/amine) as hardeners to produce reprocessable resins based on epoxidized camelina oil (ECMO). Two kinds of mixtures were tested: one combines aromatic/aliphatic dicarboxylic acids: 2,2′-dithiodibenzoic acid (DTBA) and 3,3′-dithiodipropionic acid (DTDA); another is the combination of two aromatic structures with acid/amine functionality: DTBA and 4-aminophenyl disulfide (4-AFD). DSC and FT-IR analyses were used as methods to analyze the curing reaction of ECMO with the hardeners. It was found that the thermosets obtained with the dual crosslinked mechanism needed reduced curing temperatures and reprocessing protocols compared to the individual crosslinked thermosets. Thanks to the contribution of disulfide bonds in the network topology, the obtained thermosets showed recycling ability. The final thermomechanical properties of the virgin and mechanical reprocessed materials were analyzed by DMA and TGA. The obtained thermosets range from elastomeric to rigid materials. As an example, the ECMO/DTBA704-AFD30 virgin or reprocessed thermosets have tan δ values reaching 82–83 °C. The study also investigates the chemical recycling and the solvent resistance of these vitrimer-like materials.

Piroxicam (PRX) is a commonly prescribed nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Its efficacy, however, is partially limited by its low water solubility. In recent years, different studies have tackled this problem and have suggested delivering PRX through solid dispersions. All these strategies, however, involve the use of potentially harmful solvents for the loading procedure. Since piroxicam is soluble in supercritical CO2 (scCO2), the present study aims, for the first time, to adsorb PRX onto mesoporous silica using scCO2, which is known to be a safer and greener technique compared to the organic solvent-based ones. For comparison, PRX is also loaded by adsorption from solution and incipient wetness impregnation using ethanol as solvent. Two different commercial mesoporous silicas are used (SBA-15 and Grace Syloid® XDP), which differ in porosity order and surface silanol population. Physico-chemical analyses show that the most promising results are obtained through scCO2, which yields the amorphization of PRX, whereas some crystallization occurs in the case of adsorption from solution and IWI. The highest loading of PRX by scCO2 is obtained in SBA-15 (15 wt.%), where molecule distribution appears homogeneous, with very limited pore blocking.

The infection of Enterococcus faecalis and its interacting microorganisms in the root canal could cause persistent apical periodontitis (AP). Antibacterial root canal sealer has favorable prospects to inhibit biofilms. The purpose of this study was to investigated the antibacterial effect of root canal sealer containing dimethylaminododecyl methacrylate (DMADDM) on persistent AP in beagle dogs for the first time. Persistent AP was established by a two-step infection with Enterococcus faecalis and multi-bacteria (Enterococcus faecalis, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Actinomycesnaeslundii, Streptococcus gordonii). Root canal sealer containing DMADDM (0%, 1.25%, 2.5%) was used to complete root canal filling. The volume of lesions and inflammatory grade in the apical area were evaluated by cone beam computer tomography (CBCT) and hematoxylin-eosin staining. Both Enterococcus-faecalis- and multi-bacteria-induced persistent AP caused severe apical destruction, and there were no significant differences in pathogenicity between them. DMADDM-modified sealer significantly reduced the volume of periapical lesion and inflammatory grade compared with the control group, among them, the therapeutic effect of the 2.5% group was better than the 1.25% group. In addition, E.faecalis-induced reinfection was more sensitive to the 2.5% group than multi-bacteria reinfection. This study shows that root canal sealer containing DMADDM had a remarkable therapeutic effect on persistent AP, especially on E. faecalis-induced reinfection.
