Chiral Polaritonics: Analytical Solutions, Intuition, and Use.

ABSTRACT: Preferential selection of a given enantiomer over its chiral counterpart has become increasingly relevant in the advent of the next era of medical drug design. In parallel, cavity quantum electrodynamics has grown into a solid framework to control energy transfer and chemical reactivity, the latter requiring strong coupling. In this work, we derive an analytical solution to a system of many chiral emitters interacting with a chiral cavity similar to the widely used Tavis-Cummings and Hopfield models of quantum optics. We are able to estimate the discriminating strength of chiral polaritonics, discuss possible future development directions and exciting applications such as elucidating homochirality, and deliver much needed intuition to foster the newly flourishing field of chiral polaritonics.

Analytical chemistry solutions to hazard evaluation of petroleum refining products.

Project description:Products of petroleum refining are substances that are both complex and variable. These substances are produced and distributed in high volumes; therefore, they are heavily scrutinized in terms of their potential hazards and risks. Because of inherent compositional complexity and variability, unique challenges exist in terms of their registration and evaluation. Continued dialogue between the industry and the decision-makers has revolved around the most appropriate approach to fill data gaps and ensure safe use of these substances. One of the challenging topics has been the extent of chemical compositional characterization of products of petroleum refining that may be necessary for substance identification and hazard evaluation. There are several novel analytical methods that can be used for comprehensive characterization of petroleum substances and identification of most abundant constituents. However, translation of the advances in analytical chemistry to regulatory decision-making has not been as evident. Therefore, the goal of this review is to bridge the divide between the science of chemical characterization of petroleum and the needs and expectations of the decision-makers. Collectively, mutual appreciation of the regulatory guidance and the realities of what information these new methods can deliver should facilitate the path forward in ensuring safety of the products of petroleum refining.

Soliton solutions for the Zoomeron model applying three analytical techniques.

Project description:The Zoomeron equation is used in various categories of soliton with unique characteristics that arise in different physical phenomena, such as fluid dynamics, laser physics, and nonlinear optics. To achieve soliton solutions for the Zoomeron nonlinear structure, we apply the unified, the Kudryashov, and the improved Kudryashov techniques. We find periodic, breather, kink, anti-kink, and dark-bell soliton solutions from the derived optical soliton solutions. Bright, dark, and bright-dark breather waves are also established. Finally, some dynamic properties of the acquired findings are displayed in 3D, density, and 2D views.

Use of subcutaneous tocilizumab to prepare intravenous solutions for COVID-19 emergency shortage: Comparative analytical study of physicochemical quality attributes.

Project description:COVID-19, a disease caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, has produced a serious emergency for global public health, placing enormous stress on national health systems in many countries. Several studies suggest that cytokine storms (interleukins) may play an important role in severe cases of COVID-19. Neutralizing key inflammatory factors in cytokine release syndrome (CRS) could therefore be of great value in reducing the mortality rate. Tocilizumab (TCZ) in its intravenous (IV) form of administration -RoActemra® 20 mg/mL (Roche)-is indicated for treatment of severe CRS patients. Preliminary investigations have concluded that inhibition of IL-6 with TCZ appears to be efficacious and safe, with several ongoing clinical trials. This has led to a huge increase in demand for IV TCZ for treating severe COVID-19 patients in hospitals, which has resulted in drug shortages. Here, we present a comparability study assessing the main critical physicochemical attributes of TCZ solutions used for infusion, at 6 mg/mL and 4 mg/mL, prepared from RoActemra® 20 mg/mL (IV form) and from RoActemra® 162 mg (0.9 mL solution pre-filled syringe, subcutaneous(SC) form), to evaluate the use of the latter for preparing clinical solutions required for IV administration, so that in a situation of shortage of the IV medicine, the SC form could be used to prepare the solutions for IV delivery of TCZ. It is important to remember that during the current pandemic all the medicines are used off-label, since none of them has yet been approved for the treatment of COVID-19.

Oxygen use in low-resource settings: An intervention still triggered by intuition.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough hypoxic patients attending low-resource hospitals have a high mortality, many are not given supplemental oxygen. If oximetry is not available, then the decision to provide oxygen must be based on other factors.MethodsThe variables associated with the decision to provide supplemental oxygen made by an emergency department staff, without access to oximetry, in a low resource Ugandan hospital were determined from data collected within 16 h of admission to the hospital's medical and surgical wards.ResultsOf 2,599 patients, 731 (28.1%) had an oxygen saturation <95%, and 164 (6.3%) an oxygen saturation <90%. Of the 731 patients with oxygen levels below 95% 573 (83%) were not given oxygen; oxygen was only given to 63 (38%) of the 164 patients with oxygen saturation <90%. On average, a patient given oxygen was more likely to die than one not given oxygen, regardless of their oxygen saturation (odds ratio 13.4, 95%CI 9.1-19.6). After multivariate analysis weakness, dyspnoea, low oxygen saturation, high heart rate, high respiratory rate, low temperature, alertness, gait, and a medical illness were all significantly associated with the use of supplemental oxygen and in-hospital mortality. Logistic regression modelling of these variables had comparable discrimination for both oxygen use (c statistic 0.88 SE 0.02) and in-hospital mortality (c statistic 0.84 SE 0.02).ConclusionThe intuitive decision to provide oxygen was strongly associated with in-hospital mortality, suggesting that oxygen was given to those considered the sickest patients. In the future, oximetry may guide oxygen therapy more efficiently.

Analytical quality-by-design approach for sample treatment of BSA-containing solutions.

Project description:The sample preparation of samples containing bovine serum albumin (BSA), e.g., as used in transdermal Franz diffusion cell (FDC) solutions, was evaluated using an analytical quality-by-design (QbD) approach. Traditional precipitation of BSA by adding an equal volume of organic solvent, often successfully used with conventional HPLC-PDA, was found insufficiently robust when novel fused-core HPLC and/or UPLC-MS methods were used. In this study, three factors (acetonitrile (%), formic acid (%) and boiling time (min)) were included in the experimental design to determine an optimal and more suitable sample treatment of BSA-containing FDC solutions. Using a QbD and Derringer desirability (D) approach, combining BSA loss, dilution factor and variability, we constructed an optimal working space with the edge of failure defined as D<0.9. The design space is modelled and is confirmed to have an ACN range of 83±3% and FA content of 1±0.25%.

Chiral Symmetry Breaking in Colloidal Metal Nanoparticle Solutions by Circularly Polarized Light.

Project description:Shape symmetry breaking in the formation of inorganic nanostructures is of significant current interest. It was typically achieved through the growth of colloidal nanoparticles with adsorbed chiral molecules. Photochemical processes induced through asymmetric plasmon excitation by circularly polarized light in surface immobilized nanostructures also led to symmetry breaking. Here, we show that chiral symmetry breaking can be achieved by randomly rotating gold@silver core-shell nanobars in colloidal solution using circularly polarized illumination, where orientational averaging does not eliminate the symmetry breaking of an asymmetric plasmon-induced galvanic replacement reaction. Different morphological effects that are produced by circularly vs linearly polarized light illumination demonstrate the intricate effect of light polarization on the localized plasmonic-induced photochemical response. The essential features of this symmetry breaking, such as illumination wavelength dependence, were reproduced by simulations of circularly polarized light-excited-plasmon-induced hot-electron generation as the source for asymmetric metal deposition. The symmetry breaking becomes smaller in more symmetric geometrical shapes, such as triangular nanoprisms and nanocubes, and down to zero in spherical ones. The degree of symmetry breaking rises when the nanobars are immobilized on a substrate and illuminated from a single direction.

Does intuition cause cooperation?

Project description:Recently, researchers claimed that people are intuitively inclined to cooperate with reflection causing them to behave selfishly. Empirical support for this claim came from experiments using a 4-player public goods game with a marginal return of 0.5 showing that people contributed more money to a common project when they had to decide quickly (i.e., a decision based on intuition) than when they were instructed to reflect and decide slowly. This intuitive-cooperation effect is of high scientific and practical importance because it argues against a central assumption of traditional economic and evolutionary models. The first experiment of present study was set up to examine the generality of the intuitive-cooperation effect and to further validate the experimental task producing the effect. In Experiment 1, we investigated Amazon Mechanical Turk (AMT) workers' contributions to a 4-player public goods game with a marginal return of 0.5 while we manipulated the knowledge about the other players' contribution to the public goods game (contribution known vs. contribution unknown), the identity of the other players (humans vs. computers randomly generating contributions) and the time constraint (time pressure/intuition vs. forced delay/reflection). However, the results of Experiment 1 failed to reveal an intuitive-cooperation effect. Furthermore, four subsequent direct replications attempts with AMT workers (Experiments 2a, 2b, 2c and Experiment 3, which was conducted with naïve/inexperienced participants) also failed to demonstrate intuitive-cooperation effects. Taken together, the results of the present study could not corroborate the idea that people are intuitively cooperative, hence suggesting that the theoretical relationship between intuition and cooperation should be further scrutinized.

Analytical approximate solutions for a general class of nonlinear delay differential equations.

Project description:We use the polynomial least squares method (PLSM), which allows us to compute analytical approximate polynomial solutions for a very general class of strongly nonlinear delay differential equations. The method is tested by computing approximate solutions for several applications including the pantograph equations and a nonlinear time-delay model from biology. The accuracy of the method is illustrated by a comparison with approximate solutions previously computed using other methods.

Enantioselectivity of chiral dihydromyricetin in multicomponent solid solutions regulated by subtle structural mutation.

Project description:Multicomponent crystals of a chiral drug with non-chiral components have attracted increasing attention in the application of enantiomer purification and regulation of the physicochemical properties of crystalline materials. Crystalline solid solutions provide opportunities for fine-tuning material properties because of continuously adjustable component stoichiometry ratios. The synthesis, crystal structure, thermodynamics and solid-state enantioselectivity of a series of multicomponent crystals of chiral dihydromyricetin (DMY) with caffeine (CAF) or theophylline (THE) were investigated and the results reveal how the subtle change of molecular structure of the coformer dictates the enantiomer selectivity in multicomponent cocrystals. A series of multicomponent cocrystal solvates of chiral DMY with CAF and THE were synthesized by the slurry cocrystallization method in acetonitrile. Although most racemic mixtures crystallize as racemic compounds or conglomerates, both DMY-CAF and DMY-THE crystallize as chiral solid solutions, unveiled by pseudo-binary melt phase diagrams and pseudo-ternary solution phase diagrams. Crystal structures of Rac-DMY-CAF, R,R-DMY-CAF, Rac-DMY-THE and R,R-DMY-THE are reported for the first time via single-crystal X-ray diffraction, displaying two distinct types of solid solution differing in mixing scale of enantiomers spanning several orders of magnitude. Surprisingly, this remarkable impact on enantiomer discrimination was simply achieved by the reduction of a methyl group of CAF to the THE coformer, which was further rationalized from their crystal structures and intermolecular interactions. Collectively, this work has demonstrated that a subtle change in the molecular structure of a coformer can regulate enantioselectivity in crystalline materials, guiding the purification of chiral racemic compounds via the cocrystallization method and the design of solid-solution crystalline materials.
