A Flavin Analogue with Improved Solubility in Organic Solvents.

ABSTRACT: We report the synthesis and initial electrochemical characterization of a benzene-soluble flavin analogue: N(10)-2,2-dibenzylethyl-7,8-dimethylisoalloxazine (DBF, 1). This analogue, which has an unmodified flavin headgroup, is intended for use in the spectroscopic examination of the electronic effects of flavin hydrogen bonding in simple model systems in aprotic, non-hydrogen bonding solvents. With future spectroscopic studies in mind, we have developed a synthetic route which allows the incorporation of isotopic labels using inexpensive starting materials.

Machine learning with physicochemical relationships: solubility prediction in organic solvents and water.

Project description:Solubility prediction remains a critical challenge in drug development, synthetic route and chemical process design, extraction and crystallisation. Here we report a successful approach to solubility prediction in organic solvents and water using a combination of machine learning (ANN, SVM, RF, ExtraTrees, Bagging and GP) and computational chemistry. Rational interpretation of dissolution process into a numerical problem led to a small set of selected descriptors and subsequent predictions which are independent of the applied machine learning method. These models gave significantly more accurate predictions compared to benchmarked open-access and commercial tools, achieving accuracy close to the expected level of noise in training data (LogS ± 0.7). Finally, they reproduced physicochemical relationship between solubility and molecular properties in different solvents, which led to rational approaches to improve the accuracy of each models.

Solubility Measurement and Various Solubility Parameters of Glipizide in Different Neat Solvents.

Project description:Glipizide (GLZ) is an oral hypoglycemic agent, which is a weakly aqueous soluble drug. The solubility values of GLZ in various neat solvents are scarce in the literature. Hence, the solubility of GLZ in 12 different neat solvents, namely, "water, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol (IPA), 1-butanol, 2-butanol, ethylene glycol (EG), propylene glycol (PG), poly(ethylene glycol)-400 (PEG-400), ethyl acetate (EA), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and Transcutol-HP (THP)", at "T = 298.2-318.2 K" and "p = 0.1 MPa" was measured. The recorded solubilities of GLZ were correlated by "van't Hoff and Apelblat models" using root-mean-square deviation (RMSD). The overall RMSD was obtained as 1.21 and 1.40% for "Apelblat and van't Hoff models", respectively. Different solubility parameters of all studied materials including drug and solvent were calculated to find the best solvent for GLZ. The solubilities of GLZ (expressed in mole fraction) have been found highest in DMSO (2.81 × 10-2), followed by THP, EA, 2-butanol, 1-butanol, IPA, PEG-400, ethanol, PG, methanol, EG, and water (1.98 × 10-4) at "T = 318.2 K". All investigated solubility parameters of GLZ were recorded very close to the DMSO. "Apparent thermodynamic analysis" showed an "endothermic and entropy-driven dissolution" of GLZ in the 12 different neat solvents. The highest molecular interactions were recorded in GLZ-DMSO compared to other combinations. Overall, DMSO has been considered as the best solvent for the solubilization of GLZ.

Exposure of zebrafish embryos to organic solvents, dimethylformamide and dimethyl sulfoxide

Project description:Current aquatic chemical testing guidelines recognise that solvents can potentially interfere with the organism or environmental conditions of aquatic ecotoxicity tests and therefore recommend concentration limits for their use. These recommendations are based on evidence of adverse solvent effects in apical level tests. The growing importance of sub-apical and chronic endpoints in future test strategies, however, suggests the limits may need re-assessment. To address this concern, microarrays were used to determine the effects of organic solvents, dimethylformamide (DMF) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), upon the transcriptome of zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos. Embryos were exposed for 48 h to 0.025 and 0.1 ml/L DMF or DMSO. Effects on survival and development after 24 and 48 h were assessed microscopically with no effects on mortality or morphology. However, analysis of 48-h embryonic RNA revealed large numbers of differentially expressed genes for both solvent at both concentrations. The enrichment of differentially expressed genes was found for metabolic, development and other key biological processes, some of which could be linked to observed morphological effects at higher solvent concentrations. These findings emphasise the need to remove or lower as far as possible, the concentrations of solvent carriers in ecotoxicology tests.

Crossing the Solubility Rubicon: 15-Crown-5 Facilitates the Preparation of Water-Soluble Sulfo-NHS Esters in Organic Solvents.

Project description:The Sulfo-NHS ester is a mainstay reagent for facilitating amide bond formation between carboxylic acids and amine functionalities in water. However, the preparation of Sulfo-NHS esters currently requires hydrophobic carboxylic acids, which are poorly water-soluble, to first be reacted with the N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide sodium salt, which is insoluble in organic solvents. The mutually incompatible solvation requirements thus complicate the synthesis of Sulfo-NHS esters. As a simple, rapid, and cost-effective solution to this problem, we report that the use of 15-crown-5 to complex the sodium cation of N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide sodium salt circumnavigates these solvation incompatibility issues by rendering the N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide salt soluble in organic solvents, resulting in a cleaner esterification reaction and thus improved yields of activated ester product. We also demonstrate that the resultant "crowned" Sulfo-NHS-ester remains water-soluble and is no less reactive than its classic "uncrowned" Sulfo-NHS counterpart when used in bioconjugation reactions between protein amine-functionalities and hydrophobic carboxylic acids.

Using MD Simulations To Calculate How Solvents Modulate Solubility.

Project description:Here, our interest is in predicting solubility in general, and we focus particularly on predicting how the solubility of particular solutes is modulated by the solvent environment. Solubility in general is extremely important, both for theoretical reasons - it provides an important probe of the balance between solute-solute and solute-solvent interactions - and for more practical reasons, such as how to control the solubility of a given solute via modulation of its environment, as in process chemistry and separations. Here, we study how the change of solvent affects the solubility of a given compound. That is, we calculate relative solubilities. We use MD simulations to calculate relative solubility and compare our calculated values with experiment as well as with results from several other methods, SMD and UNIFAC, the latter of which is commonly used in chemical engineering design. We find that straightforward solubility calculations based on molecular simulations using a general small-molecule force field outperform SMD and UNIFAC both in terms of accuracy and coverage of the relevant chemical space.

Solubility Data, Solubility Parameters and Thermodynamic Behavior of an Antiviral Drug Emtricitabine in Different Pure Solvents: Molecular Understanding of Solubility and Dissolution.

Project description:The solubility values, various Hansen solubility parameters (HSPs) and thermodynamic behavior of emtricitabine (ECT) in twelve different pure solvents (PS) were estimated using various experimental as well as computational methods. Experimental solubility values (xe) of ECT in twelve different PS were obtained at T = 298.2 K to 318.2 K and p = 0.1 MPa. The xe values of ECT were correlated by "van't Hoff, Apelblat and Buchowski-Ksiazaczak λh models". Various HSPs for ECT and twelve different PS were also calculated using "HSPiP software". The xe values of ECT were estimated maximum in polyethylene glycol-400 (PEG-400; 1.41 × 10-1), followed by ethylene glycol, Transcutol-HP, propylene glycol, methanol, water, isopropanol, ethanol, 1-butanol, dimethyl sulfoxide, 2-butanol and EA (1.28 × 10-3) at T = 318.2 K. "Apparent thermodynamic analysis" showed an "endothermic and entropy-driven dissolution" of ECT. Overall, PEG-400 was found as the best/ideal solvent for solubility/miscibility of ECT compared to other solvents studied.

Tailor-made solvents for pharmaceutical use? Experimental and computational approach for determining solubility in deep eutectic solvents (DES).

Project description:A deep eutectic solvent (DES) is a mixture of two or more chemicals that interact via hydrogen bonding and has a melting point far below that of the individual components. DESs have been proposed as alternative solvents for poorly soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (API). In this study, the solvation capacities of six deep eutectic solvents were compared to water and three conventional pharmaceutical solvents (PEG 300, ethanol and glycerol) for 11 APIs. The experimentally determined solubilities were compared to computational solubilities predicted by the Conductor-like Screening Model for Real Solvents (COSMO-RS). While the conventional pharmaceutical solvents PEG 300 and ethanol were the best solvents for the majority of the studied APIs, API-DES combinations were identified, which exceeded the API solubility found in the conventional pharmaceutical solvents. Furthermore, it was also possible to obtain high solubilities in the DESs relative to water, suggesting DESs to be potential solvents for poorly water soluble APIs. In addition, the relative increase in solubility found in the experimental data could be well predicted ab initio using COSMO-RS. Hence, COSMO-RS may in the future be used to reduce the experimental screening of potential DESs for a given API.

Amyloid-specific extraction using organic solvents.

Project description:Typing of amyloidosis by mass spectrometry (MS) based proteomic analysis contribute to the diagnosis of amyloidosis. For MS analysis, laser microdissection (LMD) is used for amyloid specific sampling. This study aimed to establish a method for selectively extracting amyloids from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) specimens by organic solvent instead of LMD. The extracts using dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), dimethylformamide (DMF), methanol, trifluoroethanol (TFE) or hexafluoro-2-propanol from FFPE brain of alzheimer's disease mouse model generated protein bands on SDS-PAGE, and Aβ was identified in the extract of DMF using mass spectrometry. The extract using DMSO from the kidney of a AA amyloidosis patient produced a protein band in SDS-PAGE. This protein band was identified to be serum amyloid A (SAA) by Western blotting and mass spectrometry. Circular dichroism spectrometry revealed that the secondary structures of Aβ and transthyretin were converted to α-helices from β-sheets in TFE. Our results suggest that organic solvents can extract amyloids from FFPE specimens by converting their secondary structure. This method could eliminate the LMD step and simplified amyloid typing by MS analysis. •DMSO, DMF, methanol, TFE and HFIP can extract Aβ specifically from the FFPE brain of a Alzheimer' disease mouse model.•DMSO can extract SAA specifically from a FFPE section of AA amyloidosis.•Secondary structures of Aβ and transthyretin converted from β-sheet to α-helix in TFE.

Hydrogen bond-free flavin redox properties: managing flavins in extreme aprotic solvents.

Project description:We report a simple, single step reaction that transforms riboflavin, which is insoluble in benzene, to tetraphenylacetyl riboflavin (TPARF), which is soluble in this solvent to over 250 mM. Electrochemical analysis of TPARF both alone and in complexes with two benzene-soluble flavin receptors: dibenzylamidopyridine (DBAP) and monobenzylamidopyridine (MBAP), prove that this model system behaves similarly to other previously studied flavin model systems which were soluble only in more polar solvents such as dichloromethane. Binding titrations in both benzene and dichloromethane show that the association constants of TPARF with its ligands are over an order of magnitude higher in benzene than dichloromethane, a consequence of the fact that benzene does not compete for H-bonds, but dichloromethane does. The alteration induced in the visible spectrum of TPARF in benzene upon the addition of DBAP is very similar to the difference produced by transfer to dichloromethane, further indicating that the flavin head group engages in a similar degree of hydrogen bonding with dichloromethane as with its ligands. This work underlines the importance of using a truly nonpolar solvent for the analysis of the effects of hydrogen bonding on the energetics of any biomimetic host-guest model system.
