Thermodynamic and spectroscopic study of Al 3+ interaction with glycine, l -cysteine and tranexamic acid in aqueous solution

Interaction of Ampicillin and Amoxicillin with Mn2+: A Speciation Study in Aqueous Solution

A potentiometric and UV spectrophotometric investigation on Mn²⁺-ampicillin and Mn²⁺-amoxicillin systems in NaCl aqueous solution is reported. The potentiometric measurements were carried out under different conditions of temperature (15 ≤ t/°C ≤ 37). The obtained speciation pattern includes two species for both the investigated systems. More in detail, for system containing ampicillin MLH and ML species, for that containing amoxicillin, MLH₂ and MLH ones. The spectrophotometric findings have fully confirmed the results obtained by potentiometry for both the systems, in terms of speciation models as well as the stability constants of the formed species. Enthalpy change values were calculated via the dependence of formation constants of the species on temperature. The sequestering ability of ampicillin and amoxicillin towards Mn²⁺ was also evaluated under different conditions of pH and temperature via pL_0.5 empirical parameter (i.e., cologarithm of the ligand concentration required to sequester 50% of the metal ion present in traces).

Study of Al3+ interaction with AMP, ADP and ATP in aqueous solution

The interaction of Al³⁺ and nucleotide ligands, namely adenosine-5'-monophosphate, (AMP), adenosine-5'-diphosphate, (ADP), adenosine-5'-triphosphate, (ATP), has been studied in aqueous solution at T = 298.15 K and I = 0.15 mol L^-1 in NaCl (only for Al³⁺-ATP system at I = 0.1 mol L^-1). Formation constants and speciation models for the species formed are discussed on the basis of potentiometric results. The speciation models found for the three systems include ML and ML₂ species in all the cases, and for Al³⁺-ADP and ATP systems, MLH, MLOH and ML₂OH species as well. The formation constant value for ML species shows the trend, AMP < ADP < ATP. ¹H NMR spectroscopy was also employed for the study of Al³⁺-ATP system. The ¹H NMR results are in agreement with the speciation model obtained from analysis of potentiometric titration data, confirming the stabilities of the main species. Enthalpy change values were obtained by titration calorimetry; for the main Al³⁺-ATP species (at T = 298.15 K and I = 0.1 mol L^-1 in NaCl), they resulted always higher than zero, as typical for hard-hard interactions. The dependence of formation constants on ionic strength over the range I = 0.1 to 1 mol L^-1 in NaCl is also reported for Al³⁺-ATP system. The sequestering ability of the nucleotides under study towards Al³⁺ was also evaluated by the empirical parameter pL_0.5.
