New polyfluorothiopropanoyloxy derivatives of 5β-cholan-24-oic acid designed as drug absorption modifiers.

A series of final six propanoyloxy derivatives of 5β-cholan-24-oic acid (tridecafluoroctylsulfanyl- and tridecafluoroctylsulfinylethoxycarbonylpropanoyloxy derivatives) as potential drug absorption promoters (skin penetration enhancers, intestinal absorption promoters) was generated by multistep synthesis. Structure confirmation of all generated compounds was accomplished by (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, IR and MS spectroscopy methods. All the prepared compounds were analyzed using RP-TLC, and their lipophilicity (RM) was determined.

New propanoyloxy derivatives of 5β-cholan-24-oic acid as drug absorption modifiers.

A series of final twelve propanoyloxy derivatives of 5β-cholan-24-oic acid (O-propanoyl derivatives of cholic acid) as potential drug absorption modifiers (skin penetration enhancers, intestinal absorption promoters) was generated by multistep synthesis. Structure confirmation of all generated compounds was accomplished by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR and MS spectroscopy methods. All the prepared compounds were analyzed using RP-TLC, and their lipophilicity (RM) was determined.

Investigating the spectrum of biological activity of substituted quinoline-2-carboxamides and their isosteres.

In this study, a series of thirty-five substituted quinoline-2-carboxamides and thirty-three substituted naphthalene-2-carboxamides were prepared and characterized. They were tested for their activity related to the inhibition of photosynthetic electron transport (PET) in spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) chloroplasts.

Investigation of substituted 6-aminohexanoates as skin penetration enhancers.

Skin penetration enhancers are compounds used to facilitate the transdermal delivery of drugs that are otherwise not sufficiently permeable. Through a synthetic route implementing two series of esters, we generated transdermal penetration enhancers by a multi-step reaction with substituted 6-aminohexanoic acid. We present the synthesis of all newly prepared compounds here with structural confirmation accomplished by (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, IR and mass spectroscopy (MS).

Investigation of new acyloxy derivatives of cholic acid and their esters as drug absorption modifiers.

Skin penetration enhancers are used in the formulation of transdermal delivery systems for drugs that are otherwise not sufficiently skin-permeable. Intestinal absorption promoters/enhancers are used as excipients in oral formulations of poorly oral-bioavailable drugs. Series of fourteen acyloxy derivatives of 5β-cholic acid as potential drug absorption modifiers was generated by multistep synthesis.

Drug-excipient compatibility testing-Identification and characterization of degradation products of phenylephrine in several pharmaceutical formulations against the common cold.

Different pharmaceutical preparations against the common cold containing phenylephrine (PHE) and saccharose were studied. New impurities were discovered in these preparations after exposure using isocratic ion-pair chromatography separation on a C18 column. LC-MS and NMR techniques were employed to identify and to fully characterize these new compounds.

Preparation and properties of new co-crystals of ibandronate with gluco- or galactopyranoside derivatives.

Mixtures of ibandronate monosodium salt with eleven gluco- and/or galacto-pyranoside derivatives as counterions were designed to prepare co-crystals with improved intestinal absorption. In general, gastrointestinal absorption of bisphosphonates after oral administration is approximately 1%. Co-crystals were generated by means of thermodynamically and/or kinetically controlled crystallization processes.

Investigating the activity of 2-substituted alkyl-6-(2,5-dioxopyrrolidin-1-yl)hexanoates as skin penetration enhancers.

Skin penetration enhancers are used in the formulation of transdermal delivery systems for drugs that are otherwise not sufficiently skin-permeable. We generated two series of esters by multi-step synthesis with substituted 6-aminohexanoic acid as potential transdermal penetration enhancers by multi-step synthesis. The synthesis of all newly prepared compounds is presented here.

Coupling reactions of alpha-bromocarboxylate with non-aromatic N-heterocycles.

The conditions for the C-N bond forming reaction (C-N coupling reaction) between alpha-bromocarboxylate and nitrogen-containing non-aromatic heterocyclic rings under heterogeneous copper(I) oxide catalysis are investigated in this paper. All the generated compounds were fully characterized by IR, NMR and MS spectroscopy. Ab initio/DFT calculations of partial charges on nitrogen atoms in all the discussed heterocycles and on C((2)) of carboxylate under applied conditions were predicted.
