Uspenskaya EV, Kuzmina E, Quynh HTN, Komkova MA, Kazimova IV, Timofeev AA. Influence of Mechanical Loading on the Process of Tribochemical Action on Physicochemical and Biopharmaceutical Properties of Substances, Using Lacosamide as an Example: From Micronisation to Mechanical Activation. Pharmaceutics 2024; 16:798. [PMID: 38931919 PMCID: PMC11207894 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics16060798] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2024] [Revised: 06/05/2024] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Many physical and chemical properties of solids, such as strength, plasticity, dispersibility, solubility and dissolution are determined by defects in the crystal structure. The aim of this work is to study in situ dynamic, dispersion, chemical, biological and surface properties of lacosamide powder after a complete cycle of mechanical loading by laser scattering, electron microscopy, FR-IR and biopharmaceutical approaches. The SLS method demonstrated the spontaneous tendency toward surface-energy reduction due to aggregation during micronisation. DLS analysis showed conformational changes of colloidal particles as supramolecular complexes depending on the loading time on the solid. SEM analysis demonstrated the conglomeration of needle-like lacosamide particles after 60 min of milling time and the transition to a glassy state with isotropy of properties by the end of the tribochemistry cycle. The following dynamic properties of lacosamide were established: elastic and plastic deformation boundaries, region of inhomogeneous deformation and fracture point. The ratio of dissolution-rate constants in water of samples before and after a full cycle of loading was 2.4. The lacosamide sample, which underwent a full cycle of mechanical loading, showed improved kinetics of API release via analysis of dissolution profiles in 0.1 M HCl medium. The observed activation-energy values of the cell-death biosensor process in aqueous solutions of the lacosamide samples before and after the complete tribochemical cycle were 207 kJmol-1 and 145 kJmol-1, respectively. The equilibrium time of dissolution and activation of cell-biosensor death corresponding to 20 min of mechanical loading on a solid was determined. The current study may have important practical significance for the transformation and management of the properties of drug substances in solid form and in solutions and for increasing the strength of drug matrices by pre-strain hardening via structural rearrangements during mechanical loading.

Abstract
Point defects in two-dimensional materials are of key interest for quantum information science. However, the parameter space of possible defects is immense, making the identification of high-performance quantum defects very challenging. Here, we perform high-throughput (HT) first-principles computational screening to search for promising quantum defects within WS2, which present localized levels in the band gap that can lead to bright optical transitions in the visible or telecom regime. Our computed database spans more than 700 charged defects formed through substitution on the tungsten or sulfur site. We found that sulfur substitutions enable the most promising quantum defects. We computationally identify the neutral cobalt substitution to sulfur (CoS 0 ) and fabricate it with scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The CoS 0 electronic structure measured by STM agrees with first principles and showcases an attractive quantum defect. Our work shows how HT computational screening and nanoscale synthesis routes can be combined to design promising quantum defects.

Abstract
Rechargeable battery devices with high energy density are highly demanded by our modern society. The use of metal anodes is extremely attractive for future rechargeable battery devices. However, the notorious metal dendritic and instability of solid electrolyte interface issues pose a series of challenges for metal anodes. Recently, considering the indigestible dynamical behavior of metal anodes, photoelectrochemical engineering of light-assisted metal anodes have been rapidly developed since they efficiently utilize the integration and synergy of oriented crystal engineering and photocatalysis engineering, which provided a potential way to unlock the interface electrochemical mechanism and deposition reaction kinetics of metal anodes. This review starts with the fundamentals of photoelectrochemical engineering and follows with the state-of-art advance of photoelectrochemical engineering for light-assisted rechargeable metal batteries where photoelectrode materials, working principles, types, and practical applications are explained. The last section summarizes the major challenges and some invigorating perspectives for future research on light-assisted rechargeable metal batteries.

Abstract
Single photons, often called flying qubits, have enormous promise to realize scalable quantum technologies ranging from an unhackable communication network to quantum computers. However, finding an ideal single-photon emitter (SPE) is a great challenge. Recently, two-dimensional (2D) materials have shown great potential as hosts for SPEs that are bright and operate under ambient conditions. This Perspective enumerates the metrics required for an SPE source and highlights that 2D materials, because of reduced dimensionality, exhibit interesting physical effects and satisfy several metrics, making them excellent candidates to host SPEs. The performance of SPE candidates discovered in 2D materials, hexagonal boron nitride and transition metal dichalcogenides, will be assessed based on the metrics, and the remaining challenges will be highlighted. Lastly, strategies to mitigate such challenges by developing design rules to deterministically create SPE sources will be presented.

Abstract
Electron spins in van der Waals materials are playing a crucial role in recent advances in condensed-matter physics and spintronics. However, nuclear spins in van der Waals materials remain an unexplored quantum resource. Here we report optical polarization and coherent control of nuclear spins in a van der Waals material at room temperature. We use negatively charged boron vacancy ([Formula: see text]) spin defects in hexagonal boron nitride to polarize nearby nitrogen nuclear spins. We observe the Rabi frequency of nuclear spins at the excited-state level anti-crossing of [Formula: see text] defects to be 350 times larger than that of an isolated nucleus, and demonstrate fast coherent control of nuclear spins. Further, we detect strong electron-mediated nuclear-nuclear spin coupling that is five orders of magnitude larger than the direct nuclear-spin dipolar coupling, enabling multi-qubit operations. Our work opens new avenues for the manipulation of nuclear spins in van der Waals materials for quantum information science and technology.
