Abstract
This study examines the influence of mefenamic acid on the physical and chemical properties of silica aerogels, as well as its effect on the sorption characteristics of the composite material. Solid state magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR) and high-pressure 13C NMR kinetic studies were conducted to identify the presence of mefenamic acid and measure the kinetic rates of CO2 sorption. Additionally, a high-pressure T1-T2 relaxation-relaxation correlation spectroscopy (RRCOSY) study was conducted to estimate the relative amount of mefenamic acid in the aerogel's pores, and a high-pressure nuclear Overhauser effect spectoscopy (NOESY) study was conducted to investigate the conformational preference of mefenamic acid released from the aerogel. The results indicate that mefenamic acid is affected by the chemical environment of the aerogel, altering the ratio of mefenamic acid conformers from 75% to 25% in its absence to 22% to 78% in the presence of aerogel.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:ma16041524. [PMID: 36837153 PMCID: PMC9961892 DOI: 10.3390/ma16041524] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2022] [Revised: 01/17/2023] [Accepted: 02/09/2023] [Indexed: 05/13/2023]
Abstract
The search for new forms of already known drug compounds is an urgent problem of high relevance as more potent drugs with fewer side effects are needed. The trifluoromethyl group in flufenamic acid renders its chemical structure differently from other fenamates. This modification is responsible for a large number of conformational polymorphs. Therefore, flufenamic acid is a promising structural modification of well-known drug molecules. An effective approach in this field is micronization, employing "green" supercritical fluid technologies. This research raises some key questions to be answered on how to control polymorphic forms during the micronization of drug compounds. The results presented in this work demonstrate the ability of two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy to determine conformational preferences of small molecular weight drug compounds in solutions and fluids, which can be used to predict the polymorphic form during the micronization. Quantitative analysis was carried out to identify the conformational preferences of flufenamic acid molecules in dimethyl sulfoxide-d6 medium at 25 °C and 0.1 MPa, and in mixed solvent medium containing supercritical carbon dioxide at 45 °C and 9 MPa. The data presented allows predictions of the flufenamic acid conformational preferences of poorly soluble drug compounds to obtain new micronized forms.

Conformational Screening of Arbidol Solvates: Investigation via 2D NOESY. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:pharmaceutics15010226.

Abstract
Understanding of the nucleation process's fundamental principles in saturated solutions is an urgent task. To do this task, it is necessary to control the formation of polymorphic forms of biologically active compounds. In certain cases, a compound can exist in a single polymorphic form, but have several solvates which can appear in different crystal forms, depending on the medium and conditions of formation, and show different pharmaceutical activity. In the present paper, we report on the analysis of Arbidol conformational preferences in two solvents of different polarities-deuterated chloroform and dimethyl sulfoxide-at 25 °C, using the 2D NOESY method. The Arbidol molecule has various solvate forms depending on the molecular conformation. The method based on the nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy was shown to be efficient in the analysis of complex heterocyclic compounds possessing conformation-dependent pseudo-polymorphism. It is one of the types of polymorphism observed in compounds forming crystal solvates. Combined use of NMR methods and X-ray data allowed determining of conformer populations of Arbidol in CDCl3 and DMSO-d6 which were found to be 8/92% and 37/63%, respectively. The preferred conformation in solution is the same that appears in stable crystal solvates of Arbidol.

Abstract
The study of supercritical carbon dioxide sorption processes is an important and urgent task in the field of "green" chemistry and for the selection of conditions for new polymer material formation. However, at the moment, the research of these processes is very limited, and it is necessary to select the methodology for each polymer material separately. In this paper, the principal possibility to study the powder sorption processes using 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, relaxation-relaxation correlation spectroscopy and molecular dynamic modeling methods will be demonstrated based on the example of polymethylmethacrylate and supercritical carbon dioxide. It was found that in the first nanoseconds and seconds during the sorption process, most of the carbon dioxide, about 75%, is sorbed into polymethylmethacrylate, while on the clock scale the remaining 25% is sorbed. The methodology presented in this paper makes it possible to select optimal conditions for technological processes associated with the production of new polymer materials based on supercritical fluids.

Structures Controlled by Entropy: The Flexibility of Strychnine as Example. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 27:molecules27227987.

Abstract
To study the flexibility of strychnine, we performed molecular dynamics simulations with orientational tensorial constraints (MDOC). Tensorial constraints are derived from nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) interaction tensors, for instance, from residual dipolar couplings (RDCs). Used as orientational constraints, they rotate the whole molecule and molecular parts with low rotational barriers. Since the NMR parameters are measured at ambient temperatures, orientational constraints generate conformers that populate the whole landscape of Gibbs free energy. In MDOC, structures are populated that are not only controlled by energy but by the entropy term TΔS of the Gibbs free energy. In the case of strychnine, it is shown that ring conformers are populated, which has not been discussed in former investigations. These conformer populations are not only in accordance with RDCs but fulfill nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE)-derived distance constraints and 3JHH couplings as well.

Abstract
Mefenamic acid has been used as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug for a long time. However, its practical use is quite limited due to a number of side effects on the intestinal organs. Conformational polymorphism provides mefenamic acid with unique properties regarding possible modifications obtained during the micronization process, which can improve pharmacokinetics and minimize side effects. Micronization can be performed by decompression of supercritical fluids; methods such as rapid expansion of the supercritical solution have proven their efficiency. However, this group of methods is poorly applicable for compounds with low solubility, and the modification of the method using a pharmaceutically suitable co-solvent may be useful. In our case, addition of only 2 mol% dimethyl sulfoxide increased the solubility remarkably. Information on the conformational state may be critically important for carrying out micronization. In this work, structural analysis and estimate of conformational preferences of mefenamic acid in dimethyl sulfoxide-d6 (at 25 °C and 0.1 MPa) and in a mixed solvent supercritical carbon dioxide + dimethyl sulfoxide-d6 (45 °C, 9 MPa) were performed based on nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy. Results show changes in the conformation fractions depending on the medium used. The importance of allowing for hidden conformers in estimating the conformational state was demonstrated in the analysis. Obtained results may be useful for improving micronization parameters.

Abstract
Hyperpolarization techniques can enormously enhance the NMR signal thus allowing the exploitation of hyperpolarized substrates for in-vivo MRI applications. The short lifetime of hyperpolarized spin order poses significant limitations in such applications. Spin order storage can be prolonged through the use of long-lived spin states. Additionally, the storage of spin polarization-either in the form of longitudinal or singlet order-can be prolonged in low viscosity solutions. Here, we report the use of low viscosity liquid-CO2 solutions to store nuclear spin polarization in the form of longitudinal and singlet order for extended periods. Our results demonstrate that this storage time can be considerably sustained in liquid-CO2 solutions in comparison to other low viscosity solvents, opening up the possibility of new, exciting storage experiments in the future.

Abstract
Two-dimensional 1H-15N HMBC NMR spectra of the well-known anticonvulsant carbamazepine dissolved in different organic solvents, recorded on an NMR spectrometer prove the existence of hidden conformers in saturated solutions. Obtained conformer distribution arises due to the presence of the solid phase in saturated solution. A weak influence of ring currents was revealed for different molecular conformations of carbamazepine dissolved in a saturated solution, which provides a simple approach to discovering hidden conformations. Hidden conformers were found in three different solvents: dimethyl sulfoxide, chloroform, and dichloromethane.
