ABSTRACT
Complexation of ibuprofen with water soluble p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene [3] was evaluated. Both molecules exhibit a host and guest type complexation. pH, complex stoichiometry and binding constant were determined by UV-Vis and FT-IR spectroscopy. The maximum complexation of 3 with ibuprofen occurs at pH 2. Stability constant values [9.897] show that there is favorable complex formed due to vital role of p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene, while the thermodynamic parameters, i.e. [Delta]G, [Delta]H and [Delta]S have been found as -24.09 KJ/mol, 0.012 KJ/mol and 0.12 KJ/mol. K, respectively. The results show that 3 has efficiency to carry the drug at particular conditions and can be used for drug delivery as a carrier
ABSTRACT
In the present study we demonstrate the identification of phenolic compounds and the phenolic contents of the methanol extracts from stem and buds of Calligonum polygonoides with antioxidant activity. Eleven and nine phenolic compounds were identified and quantified from stem and buds, respectively by high-performance liquid chromatography [HPLC]. p-Coumaric acid was predominant in stem and gallic acid in buds. In general, the samples with the highest phenolic contents had the highest antioxidant activities. Stem and buds sparked attention due to their high phenolic contents and antioxidant activities. The Results from present study reveal that the C. polygonoides could be considered as a promising source of antioxidant phytochemicals
ABSTRACT
Aerva javanica [Burm.f.] Juss. ex Schult. seed essential oils were obtained by hydrodistillation [HD] and dry steam distillation [SD] extracting methods and analyzed by using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry[GC-MS]. Twenty and eighteen components representing 90.5% and 95.6% of the seed essential oil were identified, using hydrodistillation and dry steam distillation, respectively. The major constituent identified from seed essential oil obtained by HD were heptacosane [25.4%], 3-allyl-6-methoxyphenol [14.1%], pentacosane [12.1%], 6,10,14-trimethyl-2-pentadecanone [7.9%], nonacosane [7.1%], tricosane [3.6%], alpha-farnesene [3.5%], dodecanal [2.7%] and octacosane [2.1%]. Whereas the major constituent identified from seed essential oil obtained by SD were heptacosane [41.4%], pentacosane [21.2%], nonacosane [14.8%], tricosane [6.3%], octacosane [4.2%] and tetracosane [3.0%]
