Wound Gel with Antimicrobial Effects Based on Polyvinyl Alcohol and Functional Aryloxycyclotriphosphazene.

A silver-containing gel based on polyvinyl alcohol and aryloxycyclotriphosphazene containing -carboxyethenylphenoxy and -formylphenoxy groups has been developed. Phosphazene was synthesized via the Doebner reaction from hexakis[(4-formyl)phenoxy]cyclotriphosphazene and malonic acid and characterized by H, C, and P NMR spectroscopy and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The study of the gel using scanning electron microscopy showed that the gel contains open pores and can absorb wound exudate.

Polymeric Dental Nanomaterials: Antimicrobial Action.

This review aims to describe and critically analyze studies published over the past four years on the application of polymeric dental nanomaterials as antimicrobial materials in various fields of dentistry. Nanoparticles are promising antimicrobial additives to restoration materials. According to published data, composites based on silver nanoparticles, zinc(II), titanium(IV), magnesium(II), and copper(II) oxide nanoparticles, chitosan nanoparticles, calcium phosphate or fluoride nanoparticles, and nanodiamonds can be used in dental therapy and endodontics.

Crystal structure of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) tolmetin sodium.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, sodium 2-[1-methyl-5-(4-methyl-benzo-yl)-1-pyrrol-2-yl]acetate dihydrate, Na·CHNO ·2HO, contains two sodium cations, two organic anions ( and ) and two water mol-ecules. The coordination geometry around the sodium cations corresponds to a distorted octa-hedron. Each pair of sodium cations (- or -) is chelated by two bridging anions coordinated by the O atoms of the deprotonated carb-oxy-lic groups, and each sodium atom is coordinated by an O atom of a third anion, which connects pairs of sodium atoms, and a water mol-ecule.

(1,3)-3-(1-Benzo[]imidazol-2-yl)-1,2,2-tri-methyl-cyclo-pentane-1-carb-oxy-lic acid as a new anti-diabetic active pharmaceutical ingredient.

The chiral title compound, CHNO, which can be used for producing active pharmaceutical ingredients for treatment of type 2 pancreatic diabetes and other pathologies dependent on insulin resistance, was prepared from (1,3)-camphoric acid and -phenyl-enedi-amine. It crystallized from an ethanol solution in the chiral monoclinic space group. The five-membered ring adopts a twisted conformation with the methyl-substituted C atoms displaced by -0.

Dental Composition Modified with Aryloxyphosphazene Containing Carboxyl Groups.

A modifier consisting of the mixture of cyclotriphosphazenes containing 4-allyl-2-methoxyphenoxy and β-carboxyethenylphenoxy moieties was developed for administration with acrylate dental restorative compositions. The synthesized compounds were characterized by H and C NMR spectroscopy and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The optimal conditions to combine the modifier with the starting dental mixture consisting of bis-GMA and TGM-3 were revealed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) method.

Curing of Epoxy Resin DER-331 by Hexakis(4-acetamidophenoxy)cyclotriphosphazene and Properties of the Prepared Composition.

The method of optical wedge revealed that the optimum temperature for compatibility of hexakis(4-acetamidophenoxy)cyclotriphosphazene (ACP) and DER-331 epoxy resin is in the range of 220-260 °C. The interdiffusion time of components at these temperatures is about 30 min. The TGA and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) methods revealed the curing temperature of 280 °С for this composition.
