AI Article Synopsis

  • The study analyzed the content and dissolution rates of three compounds (theophylline, diprophylline, and proxyphylline) from a sustained release formulation using UV in situ densitometry.
  • The researchers utilized high performance thin layer chromatography to separate the compounds, quantifying them with a polynomial function based on specific ng ranges for each substance.
  • The method proved to be efficient, allowing for monitoring of the dissolution percentages over time, while also being simple, accurate, low-cost, and capable of processing up to 18 samples at once.

Article Abstract

The content and dissolution rate of theophylline, diprophylline and proxyphylline from a sustained release formulation were determined by UV in situ densitometry. After separation the chromatographic zones corresponding to the spots of theophylline, diprophylline and proxyphylline on the high performance thin layer chromatographic plates were scanned in reflectance/absorbance mode at 275 nm. Quantification was performed with a second degree polynomial function over the range 40-200 ng for theophylline and 60-300 ng for diprophylline and proxyphylline. Percentages of dissolved theophylline, diprophylline and proxyphylline were monitored over 1, 3 and 6 h. The method was found to be simple, accurate, reliable, time-saving (up to 18 samples can be determined simultaneously) and low-cost.

An aqueous solution of 2,3-cis gallate type catechin (-)-epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (EGCg) and caffeine afforded a precipitate of Creaming-down Phenomenon, which crystallized slowly for about three months to give a colorless block crystal. By X-ray crystallographic analysis, the crystal was determined to be a 2 : 2 complex of EGCg and caffeine, in which caffeine molecules were captured in a hydrophobic space formed with three aromatic A, B, and B' rings of EGCg. It was considered that the solubility of the 2 : 2 complex in water rapidly decreased and the 2 : 2 complex precipitated from aqueous solution.

Enhancing sperm motility has immensely benefited assisted conception methods. Phosphodiesterases (PDE) break the second messenger cAMP, and therefore, inhibition of their catalytic activity enhances the sperm motility through maintaining cAMP homeostasis in sperm. In view of identifying the molecules that could inhibit PDE functioning in spermatozoa, we aimed to evaluate the phosphodiesterase inhibitors (PDEI) - xanthine derivatives - acefylline, dyphylline and proxyphylline to repurpose them for assisted reproductive technology.

Development of High-Order Functions Using (-)-Epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate in Water.

The high-order functions of molecular capture and chiral recognition of tea gallated catechins (-)-epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (EGCg) in water were investigated. A solution of equimolar amounts of a variety of heterocyclic compounds and EGCg in water afforded adhesive precipitates containing the heterocyclic compounds and EGCg at a molar ratio of 1 : 1, based on the integrated value of NMR proton signals. The molecular capture abilities of a variety of heterocyclic compounds using EGCg from the aqueous solutions were evaluated with the ratios of the heterocyclic compounds included in the precipitates of EGCg complex to the total heterocyclic compounds used.

The preparative resolution by preferential crystallization (PC) of proxyphylline has been achieved despite the existence of a stable racemic compound. This is enabled through the careful selection of a solvent in which both the racemic compound and the metastable conglomerate possess a low nucleation rate. Induction time measurements in isobutyl alcohol show that a highly supersaturated solution (β = 2.
