[Study of 2,6-di(propan-2-yl)phenol stability in biomaterial].

The aim of this study is to research the stability of 2.6-di(propan-2-yl)phenol in biomaterial. GC-MS (column DB-5MS EVIDEX (25 m×0.2 mm); stationary liquid phase of 5%-phenyl-95% dimethylpolysiloxane), TLC (Sorbfil plates, mobile phase of hexane-diethyl ether (9:1) and spectrophotometry (solvent medium - 95% ethanol) were used as methods of analysis. 2.6-di(propan-2-yl)phenol was isolated from the biomatrix (liver tissue) by infusion with a mixture of ethyl acetate-acetone (7:3). The analyte was purified by combining extraction (water-ethyl acetate system) and semi-preparative chromatography on a column of silica gel L 40/100 µm, eluent - hexane-acetone (7:3). It was found that at -22 °C, 0 °C, 12 °C, 20 °C and 30 °C 2.6-di(propan-2-yl)phenol can be present in the liver tissue for 119, 98, 70, 56 and 42 days, respectively. The possibility of mathematical description of analyte decomposition dynamics in biomaterial (liver tissue) at the considered temperatures on the basis of hyperbola equation has been studied. The experimentally calculated coefficients in the hyperbola equation (k) for temperatures -22 °C, 0 °C, 12 °C, 20 °C and 30 °C are equal to 1823, 1130, 697, 510, and 255, respectively. The dependence k on the conserving temperature (t) was educed. The equation for the description of dependence is offered: k=30.61∙(50-t)-402.39. It is shown that this equation can be the basis for prediction of 2.6-di(propan-2-yl)phenol stability in biomaterial (liver tissue) in the temperature range from -22 °C to 30 °C.
