This review focuses on the recent developments in the study of drug interactions with biological membranes and membrane-associated proteins using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and other spectroscopic techniques. Emphasis is placed on a class of low-affinity neurological agents as exemplified by volatile general anesthetics and structurally related compounds. The technical aspects are reviewed of how to prepare membrane-mimetic systems and of NMR approaches that are either in current use or opening new prospects. A brief literature survey covers studies ranging from drug distribution in simplified lipid matrix to specific drug interaction with neuronal receptors reconstituted in complicated synthetic membrane systems.

At the light microscope level the recent developments and interest in antibody technology have permitted the localization of certain non-microtubule proteins within the mitotic spindle, e.g., calmodulin, actin, intermediate filaments, protein kinases and various microtubule associated proteins. Also, the use of fluorescent probes like chlorotetracycline suggest the presence of membranes in the spindle. Localization of non-microtubule structures in the spindle at the EM level has been less rewarding. Some mitosis researchers, e.g., Rarer, have maintained that actin is involved in mitosis movements though the bulk of evidence argues against this interpretation. Others suggest that a microtrabecular network such as found in chromatophore granule movement might be a possible force generator but there is little evidence for or against this view. At the level of regulation of spindle function, Harris and more recently Hepler have argued for the importance of studying spindle membranes. Hepler also believes that membranes might play a structural or mechanical role in moving chromosomes.

Poor Water Solubility

Ezetimibe, the antihyperlipidemic drug of poor bioavailability was complexed with native and derivatized cyclodextrins.The complexes were characterized in terms stability, stoichiometry and structure using various 1D and 2D solution NMR spectroscopic techniques. The complexes were found to be of moderate stability (logK[3). The least stable inclusion complex is formed with b-cyclodextrin, while the ezetimibe-methylated-b--cyclodextrin has a 7-fold higher stability. The results can be useful to improve the poor water-solubility and the concomitant bioavailability of ezetimibe.

Nuclear Quantum Effects

This work provides an up-to-date overview of recent developments in neutron spectroscopic techniques and associated computational tools to interrogate the structural properties and dynamical behavior of complex and disordered materials, with a focus on those of a soft and polymeric nature. These have and continue to pave the way for new scientific opportunities simply thought unthinkable not so long ago, and have particularly benefited from advances in high-resolution, broadband techniques spanning energy transfers from the meV to the eV. Topical areas include the identification and robust assignment of low-energy modes underpinning functionality in soft solids and supramolecular frameworks, or the quantification in the laboratory of hitherto unexplored nuclear quantum effects dictating thermodynamic properties. In addition to novel classes of materials, we also discuss recent discoveries around water and its phase diagram, which continue to surprise us. All throughout, emphasis is placed on linking these ongoing and exciting experimental and computational developments to specific scientific questions in the context of the discovery of new materials for sustainable technologies.

Investigation of the n-butanol-soluble fraction of the whole plant extract of Pulicaria undulata yielded a new ent–kaurane type diterpene glycoside, pulicaroside-B (1), together with three known compounds, paniculoside-IV (2), roseoside (3), and corchoionol C (4). Compounds 3 and 4 are derivatives of α-ionol. The structures of the new and known compounds were elucidated by 1D- and 2D-NMR spectroscopic techniques, along with other spectral evidence, and by comparison of the spectral data with those of closely related compounds.

Anti Migraine Drug

Eletriptan hydrobromide (1) is a selective serotonin (5-HT1) agonist, used for the acute treatment of the headache phase of migraine attacks. During the manufacture of eletriptan hydrobromide the formation of various impurities were observed and identified by LC–MS. To control the formation of these impurities during the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients, the structure of the impurities must be known. Major impurities of the eletriptan hydrobromide synthesis were prepared and characterized by using various spectroscopic techniques, i.e., mass spectroscopy, FTIR , 1H NMR, 13C NMR/DEPT, and further confirmed by co-injection in HPLC. The present study will be of great help in the synthesis of highly pure eletriptan hydrobromide related compounds.
