Abstract
Calcification is a well-known process of calcium phosphate mineralization observed in intraocular lenses. Despite the many works conducted in this field, there is no strict explanation of the mechanisms of this process. In order to better understand the phenomenon, i.e., the mechanisms and structural conditions that promote calcification, any research observations should be conducted under conditions that best reflect those of the human eye. Taking into account the specific anatomy and physicochemical conditions of the human eye, the problem under discussion becomes difficult to solve in vitro. In the present study, calcium phosphates formed under conditions similar to those in the human eye were characterized using SEM/EDS and infrared spectroscopy. Conducted study showed the formation of white spherical precipitates, which are unstable when extracted from solution. Such precipitates were characteristic of solutions containing 1.5-3.0 mM2 of solutes. Elemental analysis showed a Ca/P ratio of 1.64-1.65, which is similar to the ratio for hydroxyapatite (1.67). Chemical structure analysis revealed the presence of broad bending and stretching bands at 475-830 cm-1 and 880-1250 cm-1, respectively, which are characteristic of PO43- groups in apatite calcium phosphates. In further analysis involving numerical fitting the bands corresponding to apatitic PO43- and indicating the presence of calcium phosphates hydration were found. The results allow the selection of immersion media for further studies involving the incubation of hydrogel intraocular lenses.

Analytical Evaluation of Wet and Dry Mechanochemical Syntheses of Calcium-Deficient Hydroxyapatite Containing Zinc Using X-ray Diffractometry and Near-Infrared Spectroscopy.

[PMID: 36297540 PMCID: PMC9607406 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14102105] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2022] [Revised: 09/11/2022] [Accepted: 09/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Calcium-deficient zinc-containing calcium phosphate (ZnAP), which has sustained zinc release properties that are effective for treating osteoporosis, can be efficiently synthesized as a biomaterial through wet grinding. To elucidate the physicochemical mechanism of these mechanochemical syntheses, ground products were obtained from the starting material powder (S-CP), consisting of calcium hydrogen phosphate dihydrate (CHPD), calcium oxide (CaO), and zinc oxide (ZnO), by wet and dry grinding for 0-3 h in a centrifugal ball mill. The ground S-CP products were analyzed using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS); the crystal transformations and molecular interactions of the ground products were kinetically analyzed. The XRD and second-derivative NIRS results indicate that the S-CP is primarily transformed into ZnAP via amorphous solid formation in wet grinding, and the reaction follows a consecutive reaction model. In contrast, in dry grinding, the ground product of CHPD and CaO is transformed into an amorphous solid following an equilibrium reaction model; however, ZnO is predominantly not transformed and remains crystalline.

Investigation of the Effect of Nanocrystalline Calcium Carbonate-Substituted Hydroxyapatite and L-Lysine and L-Arginine Surface Interactions on the Molecular Properties of Dental Biomimetic Composites. Biomimetics (Basel) 2021; 6:70. [PMID: 34940013 PMCID: PMC8698581 DOI: 10.3390/biomimetics6040070] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2021] [Revised: 12/06/2021] [Accepted: 12/09/2021] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Differences in the surface interactions of non-stoichiometric nanocrystalline B-type carbonate-substituted hydroxyapatite (n-cHAp) with the amino acids L-Lysine hydrochloride (L-LysHCl) and L-Arginine hydrochloride (L-ArgHCl) in acidic and alkaline media were determined using structural and spectroscopic analysis methods. The obtained data confirm that hydroxyapatite synthesized using our technique, which was used to develop the n-cHAp/L-LysHCl and n-cHAp/L-ArgHCl composites, is nanocrystalline. Studies of molecular composition of the samples by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy under the change in the charge state of L-Lysine in environments with different alkalinity are consistent with the results of X-ray diffraction analysis, as evidenced by the redistribution of the modes' intensities in the spectra that is correlated with the side chains, i.e., amide and carboxyl groups, of the amino acid. During the formation of a biomimetic composite containing L-Lysine hydrochloride and n-cHAp, the interaction occurred through bonding of the L-Lysine side chain and the hydroxyl groups of hydroxyapatite, which created an anionic form of L-Lysine at pH ≤ 5. In contrast, in biocomposites based on L-Arginine and n-cHAp, the interaction only slightly depends on pH value, and it proceeds by molecular orientation mechanisms. The X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy results confirm that changes in the molecular composition of n-cHAp/L-ArgHCl biomimetic composites are caused by the electrostatic interaction between the L-ArgHCl molecule and the carbonate-substituted calcium hydroxyapatite. In this case, the bond formation was detected by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy; the vibrational modes attributed to the main carbon chain and the guanidine group of L-Arginine are shifted during the interaction. The discovered interaction mechanisms between nanocrystalline carbonate-substituted hydroxyapatite that has physicochemical properties characteristic of the apatite in human dental enamel and specific amino acids are important for selecting the formation conditions of biomimetic composites and their integration with the natural dental tissue.

Abstract
This study investigated the effect of phase transformation on indomethacin (IMC), cimetidine (CIM), and their 1:1 eutectic mixture, using FTIR spectra and multivariate analysis. The IMC form γ, CIM form A, and IMC-CIM 1:1 mixture molar ratio samples were heated on a hot plate at 303-453 K for 5 min and cooled till room temperature. The prepared samples were investigated by powder X-ray diffraction analysis and infrared spectroscopy with KBr powder. The PXRD patterns suggested the bulk IMC form γ, bulk CIM form A, and 1:1 physical mixture samples phase transformed into low-crystallinity IMC form γ, amorphous CIM, and eutectic mixture, respectively. FTIR spectra combined with singular value decomposition (SVD) suggested by absorbance peak shifts of several vibration modes that the polymorphic transformations of the samples affect their molecular interactions. The estimated melting points of heated samples were evaluated by sigmoid fitting based on the SVD results. The principal components of SVD show that the process of phase transformation of IMC-CIM 1:1 mixture samples affect the IR vibration of the CO stretch of IMC and the C-C stretch and C-H bending of CIM. These results suggest that molecular interaction is an important factor in the eutectic condition of IMC-CIM 1:1 mixture. This observation enables to evaluate for in co-amorphous formulations or stability of drug combinations in a poly pill.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To ensure quality and stability, monitoring systems are recommended to analyze pharmaceutical manufacturing processes. OBJECTIVE This study was performed to predict powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) patterns of formulation powders through attenuated total reflectance (ATR)-infrared (IR) spectroscopy in a nondestructive manner along with chemometrics. RESULTS Caffeine anhydrate, acetaminophen, and lactose monohydrate were grinded at six weight ratios. The six sample groups were evaluated using ATR-IR spectroscopy and PXRD analysis. Partial least squares models were constructed to predict the PXRD intensities of the samples from the ATR-IR spectra. The prediction accuracy on the prepared PLS regression models was as high as R2 = 0.993. CONCLUSIONS Linear relationships were obtained between the prediction data set and reference PXRD intensity at each degree. 2D PLS regression coefficient analysis enabled the analysis of the correlation between PXRD patterns and IR spectra.

Abstract
Phosphoserine modified cements (PMC) exhibit unique properties, including strong adhesion to tissues and biomaterials. While TTCP-PMCs remodel into bone in vivo, little is known regarding the bioactivity and physiochemical changes that occur during resorption. In the present study, changes in the mechanical strength and composition were evaluated for 28 days, for three formulations of αTCP based PMCs. PMCs were significantly stronger than unmodified cement (38-49 MPa vs. 10 MPa). Inclusion of wollastonite in PMCs appeared to accelerate the conversion to hydroxyapatite, coincident with slight decrease in strength. In non-wollastonite PMCs the initial compressive strength did not change after 28 days in PBS (p > 0.99). Dissolution/degradation of PMC was evaluated in acidic (pH 2.7, pH 4.0), and supersaturated fluids (simulated body fluid (SBF)). PMCs exhibited comparable mass loss (<15%) after 14 days, regardless of pH and ionic concentration. Electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray analysis revealed that significant amounts of brushite, octacalcium phosphate, and hydroxyapatite reprecipitated, following dissolution in acidic conditions (pH 2.7), while amorphous calcium phosphate formed in SBF. In conclusion, PMC surfaces remodel into metastable precursors to hydroxyapatite, in both acidic and neutral environments. By tuning the composition of PMCs, durable strength in fluids, and rapid transformation can be obtained.
