AI Article Synopsis

Article Abstract

The particulate properties of α-lactose monohydrate (αLMH), an excipient and carrier for pharmaceuticals, is important for the design, formulation and performance of a wide range of drug products. Here an integrated multi-scale workflow provides a detailed molecular and inter-molecular (synthonic) analysis of its crystal morphology, surface chemistry and surface energy. Predicted morphologies are validated in 3D through X-ray diffraction (XCT) contrast tomography. Interestingly, from aqueous solution the fastest growth is found to lie along the b-axis, i.e. the longest unit cell dimension of the αLMH crystal structure reflecting the greater opportunities for solvation on the prism compared to the capping faces leading to the former's slower relative growth rates. The tomahawk morphology reflects the presence of β-lactose which asymmetrically binds to the capping surfaces creating a polar morphology. The crystal lattice energy is dominated by van der Waals interactions (between lactose molecules) with electrostatic interactions contributing the remainder. Predicted total surface energies are in good agreement with those measured at high surface coverage by inverse gas chromatography, albeit their dispersive contributions are found to be higher than those measured. The calculated surface energies of crystal habit surfaces are not found to be significantly different between different crystal surfaces, consistent with αLMH's known homogeneous binding to drug molecules when formulated. Surface energies for different morphologies reveals that crystals with the elongated crystal morphologies have lower surface energies compared to those with a triangular or tomahawk morphologies, correlating well with literature data that the surface energies of the lactose carriers are inversely proportional to their aerosol dispersion performance.

AbstractChanging climates are driving population declines in diverse animals worldwide. Winter conditions may play an important role in these declines but are often overlooked. Animals must not only survive winter but also preserve body condition, a key determinant of growing season success.

The detection of 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid (CMPA) herbicide is crucial due to the potential health risks linked to exposure through drinking water, air, and food, which may adversely affect liver and kidney functions. To address this environmental concern and promote sustainable agriculture, a sensitive carbon paste sensor incorporating a composite material was developed. The composite sensor is based on porous cobalt-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate metal-organic framework and exfoliated montmorillonite nanolayers (Co-OF/MMt).

Hydrogen sulfide (HS), carbonyl sulfide (COS), and dimethyl sulfide (DMS) are the primary sulfur compounds found in seawater, which cause pitting corrosion on the oxide passivation film of titanium, known as "the marine metals". In this study, density functional theory (DFT) was used to analyze the adsorption and surface electronic properties of these three small molecules on the anatase TiO(101) surface. The analysis was conducted through adsorption energy, work function, Mulliken charge population, and density of states (DOS).

Proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS) is often employed to characterize gas-phase compounds in both indoor and outdoor environments. PTR-MS measurements are usually made without upstream chromatographic separation, so it can be challenging to differentiate between an ion of interest, its isomers, and fragmentation products from other species all detected at the same mass-to-charge ratio. These isomeric contributions and fragmentation interferences can confound the determination of accurate compound mixing ratios, the assignment of accurate chemical properties, and corresponding analyses of chemical fate.

Effect of PEGylation on the Adsorption and Binding Strength of Plasma Proteins to Nanoparticle Surfaces.

Mol Pharm

December 2024

Department of Chemical Engineering, Dankook University, Yongin-si 16890, South Korea.

The adsorption of plasma proteins (human serum albumin, immunoglobulin γ-1, apolipoproteins A-I and E-III) onto polystyrene surfaces grafted with polyethylene glycol (PEG) at different grafting densities is simulated using an all-atom PEG model validated by comparing the conformations of isolated PEG chains with previous simulation and theoretical values. At high PEG density, the grafted PEG chains extend like brushes, while at low density, they significantly adsorb to the surface due to electrostatic attraction between polystyrene amines and PEG oxygens, forming a PEG layer much thinner than its Flory radius. Free energy calculations show that PEGylation can either increase or decrease the binding strength between proteins and surfaces, to an extent dependent on PEG density and specific proteins involved, in agreement with experiments.
