The apparent partition coefficient (P) of amiodarone between aqueous buffer and lipid vesicles or erythrocyte ghosts was determined by equilibrium distribution using [125I]amiodarone as a tracer. The lipid vesicles consisted of total lipids extracted from erythrocyte or of egg phosphatidylcholine alone or mixed with a varying amount of stearic acid, phosphatidylethanolamine, sphingomyelin, phosphatidylserine, or cholesterol. All the conditions yielded a similar value of P (P approximately equal to 17,000). The log value of the partition coefficient of the neutral form of the drug is log PN = 5.95. The value of the extrapolated 1-octanol-buffer partition coefficient is log PN,oct = 6.66. Partition coefficient measurements on erythrocyte ghosts suggested that amiodarone partitioned to a similar extent in the protein and lipid content of the membrane.

Changes in flavor profile of sauce-flavor baijiu: Perceptual interactions between 1-propanol and aroma compounds.

Food Chem X

School of Biotechnology and Key Laboratory of Industrial Biotechnology of Ministry of Education, Jiangnan University, Wuxi 214122, PR China.

1-Propanol is an important aroma compound in sauce-flavor Baijiu. However, the mechanism by which it affects the aroma of sauce-flavor Baijiu has not been fully investigated. In this study, an instrumental and perceptual analysis was employed to assess the impact of 1-propanol on the flavor and volatile compounds in sauce-flavor Baijiu.

An integrated understanding of dissolved phosphorous (DP) export mechanism and controls on export over dry and wet periods is crucial for riverine ecological restorations in dammed river basins considering its high bioavailability and retention rates at dams. Riverine DP transport patterns (composition, sources, and transport pathways), export controls, and fate were investigated over the 2020 wet season (5 events) and dry seasons before and after it (2 events: dry and dry) in a semi-arid, small-dammed watershed to comprehend the links between terrestrial DP sources and aquatic DP sinks. Close spatiotemporal monitoring of the full range of phosphorous and total suspended solids (TSSs) and subsequent analyses (hysteresis, hierarchical partitioning, and coefficient of variation) provided the basis for the study.

The partitioning and migrating of antibiotic residues pose a considerable pollution to the river environment. However, a source-specific approach for quantifying the fate of antibiotics is lacking. To further elucidate the migration behavior of antibiotics from different pollution sources in aquatic environments, we introduced a source-specific partition coefficient (S-Kp) based on Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) model to improve the multimedia model.

The novel diiron amine complexes [FeCp(CO)(NHR')(μ-CO){μ-CN(Me)(Cy)}]CFSO [R' = H, 3; Cy, 4; CHCHNH, 5; CHCHNMe, 6; CHCH(4-CHOMe), 7; CHCH(4-CHOH), 8; Cp = η-CH, Cy = CH = cyclohexyl] were synthesized in 49-92 % yields from [FeCp(CO)(μ-CO){μ-CN(Me)(Cy)}]CFSO, 1a, using a straightforward two-step procedure. They were characterized by IR and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, and the structure of 7 was confirmed through X-ray diffraction analysis. Complexes 3-8 and the acetonitrile adducts [FeCp(CO)(NCMe)(μ-CO){μ-CN(Me)(R)}]CFSO (R = Cy, 2a; Me, 2b; Xyl = 2,6-CHMe, 2c) were assessed for their water solubility, octanol-water partition coefficient and stability in physiological-like solutions.

Lipophilicity and blood partitioning are important determinants for predicting toxicokinetics using physiologically-based toxicokinetic (PBTK) modeling. In this study, the logarithm of the -octanol:water partition coefficient (log) and the blood-to-plasma concentration ratio ( ) were for the first time experimentally determined for the pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) intermedine, lasiocarpine, monocrotaline, retrorsine and their -oxides (PANOs). Validated assays for log (miniaturized shake-flask method) and (LC-MS/MS-based depletion assay) determination were compared to an ensemble of models.
