Solubility Profiles

Iron (III) complexes of ciprofloxacin, amoxicillin, and cloxacillin were synthesized and their aqueous solubility profiles, relative stabilities, and antimicrobial properties were evaluated. The complexes showed improved aqueous solubility when compared to the corresponding ligands. Relative thermal and acid stabilities were determined spectrophotometrically and the results showed that the complexes have enhanced thermal and acid stabilities when compared to the pure ligands. Antimicrobial studies showed that the complexes have decreased activities against most of the tested microorganisms. Ciprofloxacin complex, however, showed almost the same activity as the corresponding ligand. Job’s method of continuous variation suggested 1 : 2 metals to ligand stoichiometry for ciprofloxacin complex but 1 : 1 for cloxacillin complex.

Environmental context Knowledge of metal-chelating agent speciation is integral to our ability to predict and interpret the behaviour of synthetic chelating agents in the environment. Capillary electrophoresis can be used to separate metal–ligand complexes with similar spectroscopic characteristics but different stoichiometries, thereby providing insight into metal–ligand speciation that is not possible by any other technique. Here, we demonstrate the utility of capillary electrophoresis for the determination of metal–ligand stoichiometries and evaluate its limitations. Abstract Job’s method of continuous variation is a traditional method used to determine the stoichiometry of metal–ligand complexes. The method is often applied to whole-sample absorbance measurements but its utility is limited when two or more complexes are present at significant concentrations and have similar absorption spectra. Here we employ capillary electrophoresis (CE), which separates complexes on the basis of charge and hydrodynamic radii, to extend the capabilities of Job’s method. Solutions containing nickel(II) and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) yield three CE peaks. Job’s method plot maxima, based on areas for each of the three CE peaks, coincide with nickel(II)-to-DTPA ratios of 1 : 1 and 1 : 2, which correspond to two complexes previously identified using whole-sample measurements, plus a ratio of 3 : 2, which corresponds to a previously unreported complex. We demonstrate how CE peak areas and electromigration times can be used to determine complex stoichiometries and formation constants. We discuss the strengths and weaknesses of Job’s Method coupled with CE and implications for speciation determination in environmentally relevant systems.

Job's Method

Co (II), Ni (II) and V (III) metal complexes were synthesized mechanochemically using L-Leucine, L-Tyrosine and Creatinine as mixed ligands. The metals and the ligands were grounded using an agate mortar with a pestle. The compounds formed were characterized using their melting/decomposition temperature, solubility, magnetic susceptibility, conductivity measurement, Infrared analysis and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The Metal – ligand ratios were investigated via Job’s method of continuous variation. The shifts of bands (for instance 1693-1677 cm-1 to 1674-1607 cm-1) in C=O and the appearance of new bands in the complexes (683-669 and 713-750 cm-1 indicates the complexation. The lower conductivity measurement values (15.00 to 32.40) µS.cm-1 suggested the non-electrolytic nature of the complexes. The magnetic effective value of the metal complexes showed that all the three complexes are paramagnetic and octahedral. It was concluded that the amino acids (ligands) coordinated in a bidentate way through the nitrogen from the amino group and oxygen from carboxylate. The complexes were screened for their antimicrobial activities against two bacterial isolates (Streptococcus pneumoniae and Klebsiella pneumoniae). All the complexes exhibited good activity against the organisms

Simple, rapid and sensitive extractive spectrophotometric method is presented for the determination of glibenclamide (Glb) based on the formation of ion-pair complex between the Glb and anionic dye, methyl orange (MO) at pH 4. The yellow colored complex formed was quantitatively extracted into dichloromethane and measured at 426 nm. The colored product obeyed Beer’s law in the concentration range of (0.5-40) μg.ml-1. The value of molar absorptivity obtained from Beer’s data was found to be 31122 L.mol-1.cm-1, Sandell’s sensitivity value was calculated to be 0.0159 μg.cm-2, while the limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) were found to be 0.1086 and 0.3292 μg.ml-1, respectively. The stoichiometry of the complex created between the Glb and MO was 1:1 as determined via Job’s method of continuous variation and mole ratio method. The method was successfully applied for the analysis of pharmaceutical formulation.

In the early stages of the drug discovery process, evaluation of the drug metabolism and physicochemical properties of new chemical entities is crucial to prioritize those candidates displaying a better profile for further development. In terms of metabolism, drug–drug interactions mediated through CYP450 inhibition are a significant safety concern, and therefore the effect of new candidate drugs on CYP450 activity should be screened early. In the initial stages of drug discovery, when physicochemical properties such as aqueous solubility have not been optimized yet, there might be a large number of candidate compounds showing artificially low CYP450 inhibition, and consequently potential drug–drug interaction toxicity might be overlooked. In this work, we present a novel in vitro approach for simultaneous evaluation of CYP3A4 inhibition potential and kinetic aqueous solubility (NIVA-CYPI-KS). This new methodology is based on fluorogenic CYP450 activities and turbidimetric measurements for compound solubility, and it provides a significant improvement in the use of resources and a better understanding of CYP450 inhibition data.

First Time

Honey samples from three different ecozones - coastal freshwater (Ogba), lowland rainforest (Oka-Akoko) and montane Sudan savanna (Mambilla plateau) – were subjected to melissopalynological, proximate and elemental analyses, as well as antimicrobial studies. The aim of the research was to determine the contribution of pollen, if any, in the antimicrobial activities of the studied honey samples. Standard preparation methods were adopted for these studies. The Mambilla honey recorded the highest pollen diversity, while that of Oka-Akoko and Ogba regions had similar diversity, both having lower values. The Ogba honey however contained the highest abundance of pollen. Proximate analysis showed that the Mambilla honey also recorded the highest values of moisture, ash, protein, fats and oil, as well as potassium and reducing sugars. Antimicrobial investigation revealed the highest antimicrobial activities for the Mambilla honey, followed by Oka-Akoko and Ogba against Staphylococcus aureus (gram positive) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (gram negative). Moisture content, proteins and carbohydrates were significantly different, with positive and negative trends respectively, when related with the antimicrobial activities of the honey samples. The pollen contents were also qualitatively different. This is the first time the antimicrobial activity of honey is ever traced to pollen contents.  More conclusions can be accurately made only after further research upon pollen grains directly.

Our former studies delivered a strong evidence that water indirectly treated with low-temperature, low-pressure glow plasma of low frequency (GP) changed its structure depending on the atmosphere in which such treatment was performed (air, ammonia, and nitrogen) and on the time of the treatment (0 to 120 min). In every case, water of different physicochemical characteristics and interesting biological functions was produced. Therefore, the relevant studies were extended to treating deionized water with GP under methane. The resulting samples were characterized by means of ultraviolet/visible (UV/VIS), Fourier transformation infrared-attenuated total reflectance (FTIR-ATR), electron spin resonance (ESR) and Raman spectroscopies, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry, pH, conductivity, and refractive index. The generated samples of water had entirely different physicochemical properties from those recorded for water treated with GP in the air and under both ammonia and nitrogen. The treatment of water with GP under methane did not produce clathrates hosting methane molecules. Thermogravimetry delivered an evidence that the treatment with GP increased the aqueous solubility of methane. That solubility non-linearly changed against the treatment time.
