Tailoring photocatalysts to modulate oxidative potential of anilides enhances para-selective electrochemical hydroxylation

Phenolic compounds have long captivated the interest of organic synthesis, particularly in their quest for selective hydroxylation of arenes using H2O as a hydroxyl source. However, the inherent high reactivity and low redox potential of phenols often lead to undesirable overoxidation byproducts. To address this challenge, herein, we develop an electrophotochemical approach, finetuning substrate oxidative potential and enabling para-selective hydroxylation of anilides. This method showcases versatility, accommodating a wide array of substrates, while revealing high regional selectivity and compatibility with diverse functional groups. Moreover, the protocol allows facile late-stage functionalization of biologically active molecules. Mechanistic investigations demonstrate the activation of anilides by the excited state photocatalyst, effectively decreasing their oxidative potential and enhancing regional selectivity during hydroxylation. By using this protocol, important drug molecules such as Paracetamol, Fenretinide, Practolol, and AM404 could be synthesized, demonstrating the applicability of this approach in drug synthesis and late-stage functionalization.

Validated spectrofluorimetric and resonance Rayleigh scattering methods for determining naftidrofuryl in varied pharmaceutical samples based on its interaction with erythrosin B

Naftidrofuryl is a vasodilator medication used for treating cerebral and peripheral vascular diseases. In this study, two spectroscopical techniques, spectrofluorimetric and resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS), were utilized to quantify naftidrofuryl in its pharmaceutical samples. The developed methodologies in this study rely on a facile process of forming an association complex between erythrosine B reagent and naftidrofuryl under acidic conditions. The fluorimetric assay is based on the ability of naftidrofuryl to quench and decrease the native fluorescence intensity of the reagent when measured at λ emis . = 550 nm ( λ excit . = 526 nm). Under similar reaction conditions, the RRS method relies on the observed amplification in the RRS spectrum of the reagent at a wavelength of 577 nm following its interaction with naftidrofuryl. The methods exhibited linearity within the ranges 0.2-1.6 μg/ml (r2  = 0.999) and 0.1-1.4 μg/ml (r2  = 0.9994), with limit of quantitation values of 0.146 and 0.099 μg/ml, and limit of detection values of 0.048 and 0.032 μg/ml, for the fluorometric and the RRS methods, respectively. Moreover, the quenching between the dye and naftidrofuryl was studied using Stern-Volmer analysis, and the methodologies were experimentally optimized and validated. Additionally, acceptable recoveries were achieved when the procedures were applied to determine naftidrofuryl in pharmaceutical samples.

Spectrophotometric determination of Zr(IV), Hg(II) and U(VI) in solution with their analytical applications: Structural characterization and molecular docking of the solid complexes

Spectrophotometry was used to determine trace amounts of Zirconium(IV), Mercury(II) and Uranium(VI) in environmental, biological, pharmaceutical and industrial samples. The determination depend on the complexation reactions between albendazole reagent and metal ions [Zr(IV), Hg(II) and U(VI)] at 555 nm, 485 nm and 510 nm, respectively. The experimental conditions were explored to reach the optimum conditions for albendazole-metal ions interaction, including detection of a suitable wavelength, medium (pH), reagent concentration, surfactants effect, reaction time and temperature. Under optimum conditions, the complexes displayed apparent molar absorptivities of 0.8350 × 10⁴, 0.6210 × 10⁴ and 0.7012 × 10⁴ L mol^-1 cm^-1; Sandell's sensitivity of 0.01092, 0.03230 and 0.03394 µg cm^-2 and with linearity ranges of 1.0-120.0, 3.0-200.0 and 1.0-150.0 µg mL^-1 for the developed methods, respectively. Furthermore, Elemental analysis, thermal analysis (TGA, DTG), IR, ¹HNMR, spectroscopies, electrical molar conductivity and magnetic moment measurements were used to determine the structures and characteristics of the complexes. A careful examination of the IR spectra revealed that the ligand interacted with all of the metal ions described as a bidentate via the oxygen of the carbonyl of the ester moiety and the nitrogen atom of the heterocyclic CN group. An octahedral geometry for Zr(IV), Hg(II) and U(VI) complexes has been postulated based on magnetic and electronic spectrum data. The band gap values indicated that these complexes were semi-conductors and belong to the same class of extremely effective solar materials. The albendazole ligand and its complexes have been biologically tested against a variety of bacterial and fungal strains, and molecular docking studies have been conducted to evaluate the optimal binding site and its inhibitory action.

Resonance Rayleigh scattering approach based on association complex formation with erythrosine B for determination of venlafaxine, Application to the dosage form and spiked human plasma

The interaction of Venlafaxine Hydrochloride (VLX) with Erythrosine B was investigated by resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) spectroscopic technique. In acetate buffer (pH 3.4), erythrosine B reacted with VLX to form 1:1 ion pair complex with concomitant enhancement in RRS intensity which was measured at 330 nm. In addition, the stability constant and the change in free energy of the reaction were estimated. Based on this interaction a new method was developed for the sensitive VLX analysis using Erythrosine B as a probe. The results indicated that this method had a good selectivity in the presence of coexisting compounds. The scattering intensity (ΔI_RRS ) was linearly depended on VLX concentration over the range of 0.04-1.0 μg mL^-1 with determination coefficient (r) of 0.9998. The detection (LOD) and quantitation limits (LOQ) were 0.01 and 0.03 μg mL^-1 , respectively. This method could be suitably employed to the VLX analysis in pharmaceutical capsules and human plasma.

Resonance Rayleigh scattering technique-using erythrosine B, as novel spectrofluorimetric method for determination of anticancer agent nilotinib: Application for capsules and human plasma

A exceedingly touchy resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) strategy for the assurance of nilotinib (NILO) was introduced. In the pH 3.4 acetate buffer solution, NILO reacted with erythrosine B to produce an ion-association complex, which increased the RRS intensity of the studied system. The enhanced RRS intensity (ΔI) was linearly proportional to the concentration of NILO, the linear range of the method was 0.1-1.0 µg/mL and the detection limit (DL) was 0.025 µg/mL. In like manner, this test was connected to distinguish the concentration of NILO in capsules and human plasma with palatable comes about.

Studies of eosin Y - DNA interaction using a competitive binding assay

The interaction between xanthene dye eosin Y and double stranded DNA has been studied by spectrophotometry. The conventional titration study does not show the interaction in the eosin Y - DNA system. Therefore, the competitive binding assay was carried out. The DNA-targeted ligands proflavine and methylene blue were used as competitors. Multivariate curve resolution - alternative least squares method (MCR-ALS) was applied to analyze the spectrophotometric titration data. The experimental binding isotherms were fitted by Scatchard and McGee equations. The binding constant of eosin Y with DNA was found to be 1.7·10⁴ M^-1. It is shown that the competitive binding assay requires consideration of heteroassociation for the correct determination of ligand-DNA binding parameters.

Resonance Rayleigh scattering and spectrofluorimetric approaches for the selective determination of rupatadine using erythrosin B as a probe: application to content uniformity test

In this study, spectrofluorimetric and resonance Rayleigh scattering techniques were applied for the first time for determination of rupatadine through two validated methods. The proposed methods were based on a facile association complex formation between rupatadine and erythrosin B reagent in acidic medium. Spectrofluorimetric determination relied on the quenching effect of rupatadine on the fluorescence intensity of erythrosin B at 556 nm (excitation = 530 nm). Conversely, the resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) method relied on enhancement in the resonance Rayleigh scattering spectrum of erythrosin B at 344 nm after the addition of rupatadine. The developed methods produced linear results over ranges 0.15-2.0 μg/ml and 0.1-1.5 μg/ml, with detection limits of 0.030 μg/ml and 0.018 μg/ml for the spectrofluorimetric method and the RRS method, respectively. All reaction conditions for rupatadine-erythrosin B formation were optimized experimentally and both methods were validated according to International Council for Harmonisation guidelines. The developed methods were applied to estimate rupatadine content in its pharmaceutical tablet dosage form with acceptable recoveries. Furthermore, a content uniformity test for the commercial rupatadine tablets was successfully applied by the suggested spectroscopic methods according to United States Pharmacopeia guidelines.

Highly sensitive and selective fluorescent assay for guanine based on the Cu(2+)/eosin Y system

A fluorescent probe has been developed for the determination of guanine based on the quenched fluorescence signal of Cu(2+)/eosin Y. Cu(2+) interacted with eosin Y, resulting in fluorescence quenching. Subsequently, with the addition of guanine to the Cu(2+)/eosin Y system, guanine reacted with Cu(2+) to form 1:1 chelate cation, which further combined with eosin Y to form a 1:1 ternary ion-association complex by electrostatic attraction and hydrophobic interaction, resulting in significant decrease of the fluorescence. Hence, a fluorescent system was constructed for rapid, sensitive and selective detection of guanine with a detection limit as low as 1.5 nmol L(-1) and a linear range of 3.3-116 nmol L(-1). The method has been applied satisfactorily to the determination of guanine in DNA and urine samples with the recoveries from 98.7% to 105%. This study significantly expands the realm of application of ternary ion-association complex in fluorescence probe.

High performance liquid chromatography coupled with resonance Rayleigh scattering for the detection of three fluoroquinolones and mechanism study

A reliable and versatile high performance liquid chromatography coupled with resonance Rayleigh scattering method was established for the determination of three fluoroquinolones, including levofloxacin, norfloxacin and enrofloxacin in water sample and human urine sample. In pH 4.4-4.6 Britton-Robinson buffer medium, the fluoroquinolones separated by high performance liquid chromatography could react with erythrosine to form 1:1 ion-association complexes, which could make contributions to the great enhancement of RRS. The resonance Rayleigh scattering signal was recorded at λex=λem=330 nm. The resonance Rayleigh scattering spectral characteristics of the drugs and the experimental conditions such as pH, detection wavelength, erythrosine concentration, flow rate, the length of reaction tube were studied. Quantum chemistry calculation, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and absorption spectroscopy were used to discuss the reaction mechanism. The recoveries of samples added standard ranged from 97.53% to 102.00%, and the relative standard deviation was below 4.64%. The limit of detection (S/N=3) of 0.05-0.12 μg mL(-1) was reached, and the linear regression coefficients were all above 0.999. The proposed method was proved as a simple, low cost and high sensitivity method.
