Antihypertensive and antiarrhythmic properties of a para-hydroxy[bis(ortho-morpholinylmethyl)]phenyl-1,4-DHP compound: comparison with other compounds of the same kind and relationship with logP values.

A new para-hydroxy[bis(ortho-morpholinylmethyl)]phenyl-1,4-DHP substituted compound, (4-(4-hydroxy-3,5-bis(morpholin-4-ylmethyl)phenyl)-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid diethyl ester, LQM300), with antihypertensive and antiarrhythmic properties, has been synthesized. Four pKa values of this compound have been determined with the aid of the program SQUAD, at pseudo-physiological conditions (T = 37 degrees C and I = 0.15 M) by UV spectrophotometry and at T = 25 degrees C and I = 0.

Determination of pKa values of tenoxicam from 1H NMR chemical shifts and of oxicams from electrophoretic mobilities (CZE) with the aid of programs SQUAD and HYPNMR.

In this work it is explained, by the first time, the application of programs SQUAD and HYPNMR to refine equilibrium constant values through the fit of electrophoretic mobilities determined by capillary zone electrophoresis experiments, due to the mathematical isomorphism of UV-vis absorptivity coefficients, NMR chemical shifts and electrophoretic mobilities as a function of pH. Then, the pK(a) values of tenoxicam in H(2)O/DMSO 1:4 (v/v) have been obtained from (1)H NMR chemical shifts, as well as of oxicams in aqueous solution from electrophoretic mobilities determined by CZE, at 25 degrees C. These values are in very good agreement with those reported by spectrophotometric and potentiometric measurements.

Deprotonation mechanism of new antihypertensive piperidinylmethylphenols: a combined experimental and theoretical study.

Four new antihypertensive piperidinylmethylphenol compounds were synthesized for their potential antihypertensive and antiarhythmic properties. The pKa values were determined experimentally, with the aid of the program SQUAD, by capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) at T=298.15 K and 0.

Development of a capillary electrophoresis method for the characterization of "palo azul" (Eysenhardtia polystachya).

The tree Eysenhardtia polystachya (Ortega) Sarg. has quite a wide popular use within the traditional Mexican medicine as herbal remedy. Popular practices constitute a relevant enough basis to design optimum analytical methods in order to determine basic principles of diverse medicinal plants.
