Modified Diatomaceous Earth in Heparin Recovery from Porcine Intestinal Mucosa.

Heparin, a highly sulfated glycosaminoglycan, is a naturally occurring anticoagulant that plays a vital role in various physiological processes. The remarkable structural complexity of heparin, consisting of repeating disaccharide units, makes it a crucial molecule for the development of commercial drugs in the pharmaceutical industry. Over the past few decades, significant progress has been made in the development of cost-effective adsorbents specifically designed for the adsorption of heparin from porcine intestinal mucosa.

Synthesis of novel conjugated benzofuran-triazine derivatives: Antimicrobial and in-silico molecular docking studies.

Two new developments of antibacterial agents, a series of benzofuran-triazine based compounds () were designed and synthesized. The derivatives were prepared through conventional chemical reactions and structurally characterized with FT-IR, H and C NMR techniques. The antibacterial activity of the synthesized derivatives was assessed against gram-positive bacterial strains and ) and gram-negative bacterial strains ( and ).

Efficient and Economic Heparin Recovery from Porcine Intestinal Mucosa Using Quaternary Ammonium-Functionalized Silica Gel.

Heparin, usually isolated from porcine intestinal mucosa, is an active pharmaceutical ingredient of great material value. Traditionally, diverse types of commercial resins were employed as an adsorbent for heparin retrieval from biological samples. However, more recent years have encouraged the advent of new cost-effective adsorbents to achieve enhanced heparin retrieval.

Optical sensing of aqueous nitrate anion by a platinum(II) triimine salt based solid state material.

Selective and quantitative measurement of aqueous nitrate (NO) anion is achieved using solid [Pt(Cl-4-tpy)Cl]ClO salt (Cl-4-tpy = 4-chloro-2,2':6'2''-terpyridine), and as the salt supported on controlled porous glass. This detection method relies on the color change of the Pt(II) complex from yellow to red and intense luminescence response upon ClO exchange with NO due to concomitant enhancement of Pt⋯Pt interactions. The spectroscopic response is highly selective for NO over a large range of halides and oxoanions.

Efficient Heparin Recovery from Porcine Intestinal Mucosa Using Zeolite Imidazolate Framework-8.

Heparin is one of the most valuable active pharmaceutical ingredients, and it is generally isolated from porcine intestinal mucosa. Traditionally, different types of commercial resins are employed as an adsorbent for heparin uptake; however, using new, less expensive adsorbents has attracted more interest in the past few years to enhance the heparin recovery. Zeolite imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8), as a metal-organic framework (MOF) with a high surface area, porosity, and good stability at high temperatures, was selected to examine the heparin recovery.

Synthesis of Cross-Linked Spherical Polycationic Adsorbents for Enhanced Heparin Recovery.

Heparin, as an anticoagulant drug, is almost entirely produced via isolation from mucosal tissues of different animals; therefore, it is it is crucial to maximize its recovery. Adsorption of heparin from this complex biological mixture needs a specialized and highly effective adsorbent that almost separates only heparin from the mixture. In this work, a series of spherical cross-linked polymer bead adsorbents were synthesized via inverse suspension polymerization of water soluble monomers in corn oil, a benign solvent, and their performance for heparin adsorption from a biological sample of porcine mucosa was evaluated.

Phase transformation induced mechanochromism in a platinum salt: a tale of two polymorphs.

Red crystals of [Pt(tpy)Cl]NO3·HNO3 show mechanochromic behaviour turning yellow when pressure is applied. The electronic character and spectroscopic signature of the red and yellow polymorphs change as a result of slipping of the molecular stacking planes in the solid state. The slippage alters the PtPt intermolecular distances from a linear stacked motif with <3.

A digital imaging method for evaluating the kinetics of vapochromic response.

This work describes the novel use of a cell phone camera and the L*a*b method (color space defined by the International Commission on Illumination) to characterize the color change in different vapochromic platinum(II) complexes in order to get quantitative and more reliable data. In this study, we have developed a semi-automatic CCA software that digitally analyzes images (e.g.

Selective Electrochemical Capture and Release of Heparin Based on Amine-Functionalized Carbon/Titanium Dioxide Nanotube Arrays.

Heparin (HEP) is a sulfated glycosaminoglycan that is a clinical anticoagulant agent. Commercially derived from porcine intestinal mucosa, HEP is challenging to separate from this complex biological mixture for additional purification. This study aimed to raise the purity of isolated HEP using electrochemical potential to increase its selective capture and release.

{2,2'-[3-Aza-pentane-1,5-diylbis(nitrilo-methyl-idyne)]dipyrrol-1-yl}(4-methyl-pyridine)cobalt(III) tetra-phenyl-borate.

The title compound, [Co(C(14)H(17)N(5))(C(6)H(7)N)](C(24)H(20)B) or [Co{(pyrrole)(2)dien}(4-Mepy)]BPh(4) where (pyrrole)(2)dien is 2,2'-[(3-aza-pentane-1,5-diylbis(nitrilo-methyl-idyne)]dipyrrole and 4-Mepy is 4-methyl-pyridine, contains a penta-dentate (pyrrole)(2)dien ligand furnishing an N(5) set, such that two of the pyrrole N atoms and two of the dien N atoms occupy the equatorial positions while one of the imine N atoms of the (pyrrole)(2)dien ligand occupies the axial position. The 4-methyl-pyridine ligand occupies an axial position trans to one of the imine N atoms of the penta-dentate ligand. In the observed conformation of the penta-dentate ligand, the pyrrole rings attain asymmetrical positions owing to the structural demands.
