Investigation of Experimental and In Silico Physicochemical Properties of Thiazole-Pyridinium Anti-Acetylcholinesterase Derivatives with Potential Anti-Alzheimer’s Activity

Background: Physicochemical properties play important role in fundamental issues like absorption and distribution of pharmaceuticals to the target tissue. This is particularly importantfor drugs acting in central nervous system (CNS). In this study, physicochemical properties of previously synthesized thiazole-pyridinium derivatives with anti-acetylcholinesterase activity and possible anti-Alzheimer effect were studied. Methods: Partition coefficient (n-octanol/water) and chromatographic Rf values for the studied compounds were determined using shake flask and high performance thin layer chromatography(HPTLC) methods, respectively. Different druglikeness properties of the compounds were also calculated using available software and web-servers. Results: The experimentally determined logarithm of partition coefficients (log P) for the studied compounds were in the range of -1.00 to -0.38. The Rf values for the studied compounds under the applied chromatographic condition ranged between 0.38 to 0.58. Moreover, calculated physicochemical properties, and druglikeness scores of the studied thiazole-pyridiniumderivatives and matching piperidine analogues were predicted. Furthermore, some ADMETfeatures of studied compounds like toxicity and metabolism by CYP450 (2C9, 2D6, 3A4, 1A2and 2C19) enzymes were predicted. Conclusion: The ranges of experimental and calculated LogP values for the studied thiazolepyridinumswere close. However, the determined Rf values showed relatively better correlation to the predicted LogP values indicating the suitability of used chromatographic method for comparing the lipophilicity of the positively charged pyridinium derivatives. The studied compounds were predicted to pass GI membrane and reach the CNS where they can exert their effects. In silico studies indicate that the piperidine counterparts of the studied thiazolepyridiniumsmay represent anti-Alzheimer agents with improved druglikeness properties.

Validation of Metamizole, Thiamin and Pyridoxine Simultaneous Analysis Methods in Tablet Preparations Using HPLC

The aim of the present study was to develop and validate HPLC method for the simultaneous assay of metamizole, thiamine and pyridoxine in tablet. Metamizole is a substance that is easily hydrolyzed in the precence of water and oxygen. To inhibit the hydrolysis of metamizole during sample preparation prior to HPLC analysis, sodium sulfite is added and its optimum concentration was investigated. The chromatographic system includes a RP C8(2) column (150x4.6 mm, 5 µm particle size) in conjunction with Photo Diode Array (PDA) detector. The optimal chromatographic condition was obtained using a mobile phase consisting of phosphate buffer 35mM pH 3.0: methanol (80:20), flowrate 1.0 ml/min, and 10 µl injection volume. The metamizole, thiamine and pyridoxine were detected at 275 nm and 361 nm for cyanocobalamin. The Hydrolysis of metamizole was successfully inhibited by adding solution containing 1.5 mg/mL sodium sulfite to solvent and 0.5 mg/mL sodium sulfite to mobile phase. The validation results indicate a good specificity and a linear detector responses with r>0.999. The accuracy (% recovery) for metamizole, thiamine and piridoxine were 100.26%; 99.09%; and 100.03%, respectively. The method yields good precision with RSD of metamizole, thiamine and pyridoxine were 2.0912%; 1.4489%; and 0.8418% respectively. In the robustness study, the small changes of mobile phase pH yielded unsymmetrical peaks and lower resolution. The validated method was successfully applied for simultaneous assay of metamizole, thiamine and pyridoxine in tablet.

Development of a SPE-HPLC-PDA Method for the Determination of Tetracyclines in Soils

A simple and rapid SPE-HPLC/PDA method has been developed for the quantitative determination of tetracyclines in soils. An ultrasonic extraction system for the soil samples was confirmed as a combination of a 1:2 ratio of EDTA-McIlvaine buffer solution with methanol by comparing the extraction efficiency of 4 solvents and optimising the combination ratio. The soil extracts were purified and concentrated by Oasis-MAX cartridge followed by HPLC separation and PDA detection. The optimal chromatographic condition effectively separated the object and interfering substance, which can improve the sensitivity of the instrument. The limits of detection were lower than 20 μg·kg-1, and the limits of quantification were no more than 60 μg·kg-1 for all compounds in the soil. The recoveries of tetracyclines peaked at levels of 50-500 μg·kg-1 and averaged at 62.1% to 108.9% with relative standard deviation values of less than 5%. This method was applied to analyse real soil samples from suburban Beijing farmland, and TC and OTC residues were detected in the soil.
