1. The oxidation of deuteroferrihaem by H2O2 to bile pigment and CO was studied both by stopped-flow kinetic spectrophotometry and mass spectrometry, at 25°C, I=0.1m. 2. Spectrophotometric studies imply that, at constant pH, the rate of bile pigment formation is first-order with respect to [H2O2] and also proportional to [deuteroferrihaem monomer]. The effect of pH on the apparent second-order rate constant suggests that acid-ionization of deuteroferrihaem monomer is important in the reaction mechanism. 3. The relative rates of formation of O2 (from catalytic decomposition of H2O2) and CO (from oxidation of ferrihaem) have been measured by mass spectrometry. The results are in excellent agreement with those obtained by combining kinetic data for catalytic decomposition (Jones et al., 1973, preceding paper) with the spectrophotometric results for deuteroferrihaem oxidation.

The HOOSO3- oxidation of eleven meta- and para-substituted anilines to the corresponding nitrosobenzenes at pH ≈ 11 was characterized by the rate equation v = kK[OX][An]/(1 + K[An]). Formation constant of the reactive intermediate and its rate of decomposition were evaluated separately for ascertaining the structure-reactivity relationships. Under the experimental conditions the dianion, -O-O-SO3- is probably the effective electrophile. Kinetic data can be rationalized by a bimolecular process which involves the attack of nucleophilic nitrogen atom on the peroxidic oxygen. The highlight of the study is the opposite curvatures observed in the nonlinear Hammett plots of first-order rate constant k and the "equilibrium" constant K, being concave downward and upward, respectively.

Reaction of methyl p-nitrophenyl sulfate with the hydrazine – hydrazine hydrochloride system in methanol gives rise to different types of behavior depending on the state of ionization of the reagent. For the H2NNH2/H2NNH3+ combination the observed reaction is conversion of methyl p-nitrophenyl sulfate to p-nitrophenyl sulfate ion (alkyl–oxygen scission). For the H2NNH3+/+H3NNH3+ combination, or with +H3NNH3+ alone, one observes the consecutive processes methyl p-nitrophenyl sulfate → p-nitrophenyl sulfate ion → p-nitrophenol (alkyl–oxygen followed by sulphur–oxygen scission). For the alkyl–oxygen scission process, i.e. nucleophilic displacement on the alkyl carbon, the observed pseudo first-order rate constant is given by the contributions of several nucleophilic species; [Formula: see text] A method for the dissection of kobs into the constituent terms is given. The sulphur–oxygen scission process is an acid catalyzed reaction and the measured kinetic data have been utilized for the derivation of the pKa of +H3NNH3+ in methanol. Rate data for the conversion of sodium p-nitrophenyl sulfate to p-nitrophenol in methanol containing HCl have also been determined in this connection.

Sustained released tablets of diclofenac sodium (DIC) and tizanidine hydrochloride (TIZ) were prepared by using different proportions of cellulose acetate (CA) as the retardant material. Nine formulations of tablets having different proportion of microparticles developed by varied proportions of polymer: drug ratio ‘’i.e.’’; 1:9 -1:3 for DIC and 1:1 – 3:1 for TIZ. Each tablet contained equivalent to 100 mg of DIC and 6mg of TIZ. The prepared microparticles were white, free flowing and spherical in shape (SEM study), with  the particle size varying from 78.8±1.94 to 103.33±1.28 µm and 175.92± 9.82 to 194.94±14.28µm for DIC  and TIZ, respectively.  The first order rate constant K1 of formulations were found to be in the range of  K1 = 0.117-0.272 and 0.083- 0.189 %hr-1for DIC and TIZ, respectively. The value of exponent coefficient (n) was found to be in the range of 0.6328-0.9412  and 0.8589-1.1954 for DIC and TIZ respectively indicates anomalous  to  non anomalous transport type of diffusions among different formulations

The coupled oxidation of leghaemoglobins with O2 and ascorbate yielded oxyleghaemoglobin in the first reaction step, and the second step was the degradation of haem characterized by an A675 increase. Leghaemoglobins were degraded to biliverdin isomers specifically, depending on the structure of the protein. The main leghaemoglobin components of Glycine (soya bean) and Phaseolus (kidney bean) were degraded to biliverdin mixtures containing about 50% of the β-form, about 30% of the α-form and about 20% of the δ-isomer, whereas the leghaemoglobin I components of Vicia (broad bean) and Pisum (pea) were degraded almost exclusively to the β-isomer, with traces of the α-isomer. The amino acid sequences of Glycine and Phaseolus leghaemoglobins resemble each other, as do those of Vicia and Pisum. The site specificity of bile-pigment formation from leghaemoglobins can be tentatively explained by specific differences in the amino acid sequences at those regions of the polypeptide chain that are in the vicinity of the appropriate methine bridges. The ligand-binding site in different leghaemoglobins may be outlined on the basis of the present results, supposing that the haem is degraded when a reduction product of haem-bound O2 reacts with a methine bridge of the haem, and that the bridge specificity is regulated by hindering amino acid residues that determine the location of the bound O2. The residue phenylalanine-CD1 appears to be further away from the haem plane or in a markedly more flexible position in leghaemoglobins than in mammalian globins. The haem-bound oxygen atom B, in Fe–O(A)–O(B), seems to be free to rotate in all directions except that of the γ-bridge in Glycine and Phaseolus leghaemoglobins, but its position in Vicia and Pisum leghaemoglobin I might be restricted to the direction of the β-methine bridge.

Abstract Jiangpo is an increasingly popular East Asian spice which is made from Mangnolia officinalis bark and ginger juice. Since it induces bioactive compounds decomposition and has influence on final flavor and fragrance, cooking is regarded as the key operation in preparation of Jiangpo. To evaluate the bioactive compounds content changes of Jiangpo during thermal processing, kinetic parameters including reaction order, rate constant, T1/2 and activation energy of bioactive markers namely honokiol, magnolol and curcumin were determined. Cooking was set at temperatures 60, 90 and 120 °C for selected time intervals. Results displayed the thermal kinetic characteristics of the three compounds. Thermal degradation of Honokiol and magnolol both followed first order kinetic model and the loss of curcumin fitted second order. A mathematical model based on the obtained kinetic parameters has also been developed to predict the degradation of honokiol, magnolol and curcumin in non-isothermal state. All the information in this paper could contribute necessary information for optimizing the existing heat processing of Jiangpo.

Carboxylesterases from different strains of Myzus persicae were examined to try to understand their contribution to insecticide resistance. Preliminary evidence that they are involved comes from the good correlation between the degree of resistance and the carboxylesterase and paraoxon-degrading activity in aphid homogenates. Furthermore the carboxylesterase associated with resistance could not be separated from the insecticide-degrading enzyme by electrophoresis or ion-exchange chromatography. Homogenates of resistant aphids hydrolysed paraoxon 60 times faster than did those of susceptible aphids, yet the purified enzymes from both sources had identical catalytic-centre activities towards this substrate and also towards naphth-1-yl acetate, the latter being hydrolysed by both 2×106 times faster than paraoxon. These observations provide evidence that the enzyme from both sources is identical, and that one enzyme hydrolyses both substrates. This was confirmed by relating the rate of paraoxon hydrolysis to the rate at which paraoxon-inhibited carboxylesterase re-activated. Both had the same first-order rate constant (0.01min−1), showing clearly that the hydrolysis of both substrates is brought about by the same enzyme. Its Km for naphth-1-yl acetate was 0.131mm, and for paraoxon 75pm. The latter very small value could not be measured directly, but was calculated from substrate-competition studies coupled with measurements of re-activation of the diethyl phosphorylated enzyme. Since the purified enzymes from resistant and susceptible aphids had the same catalytic-centre activity, the 60-fold difference between strains must be caused by different amounts of the same enzyme resulting from mutations of the regulator gene(s) rather than of the structural gene.

Methods to treat kinetic data for the biodegradation of different plastic materials are comparatively discussed. Different samples of commercial formulates were tested for aerobic biodegradation in compost, following the standard ISO14855. Starting from the raw data, the conversion vs. time entries were elaborated using relatively simple kinetic models, such as integrated kinetic equations of zero, first and second order, through the Wilkinson model, or using a Michaelis Menten approach, which was previously reported in the literature. The results were validated against the experimental data and allowed for computation of the time for half degradation of the substrate and, by extrapolation, estimation of the final biodegradation time for all the materials tested. In particular, the Michaelis Menten approach fails in describing all the reported kinetics as well the zeroth- and second-order kinetics. The biodegradation pattern of one sample was described in detail through a simple first-order kinetics. By contrast, other substrates followed a more complex pathway, with rapid partial degradation, subsequently slowing. Therefore, a more conservative kinetic interpolation was needed. The different possible patterns are discussed, with a guide to the application of the most suitable kinetic model.
