Critical overlap concentration and intrinsic viscosity data of xanthan gum aqueous solutions in dimethyl sulfoxide.

ABSTRACT: This is the supplementary information of the research paper "Haemodynamics around confined microscopic cylinders" by Rodrigues et al. [1]. The critical overlap concentration of entanglement of polymer coils indicates whether a polymer solution is dilute or semidilute. Here, the reader will find the determination of c* for xanthan gum aqueous solutions in 52 wt.% of dimethyl sulfoxide, often used as non-particulate blood analogues. From the shear flow curves of a dilution series of the polymer the zero-shear viscosities ?0 were obtained, allowing us to estimate the intrinsic viscosity [?] based on the xanthan gum concentration of the fluids. Two methodologies for doing so are described: using information from multi-concentration measurements and from a single polymer solution (rough estimate). With the intrinsic viscosity the determination of c* is straightforward.

Confinement Effects on Glass-Forming Aqueous Dimethyl Sulfoxide Solutions.

Project description:Combining broadband dielectric spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance studies, we analyze the reorientation dynamics and the translational diffusion associated with the glassy slowdown of the eutectic aqueous dimethyl sulfoxide solution in nano-sized confinements, explicitly, in silica pores with different diameters and in ficoll and lysozyme matrices at different concentrations. We observe that both rotational and diffusive dynamics are slower and more heterogeneous in the confinements than in the bulk but the degree of these effects depends on the properties of the confinement and differs for the components of the solution. For the hard and the soft matrices, the slowdown and the heterogeneity become more prominent when the size of the confinement is reduced. In addition, the dynamics are more retarded for dimethyl sulfoxide than for water, implying specific guest-host interactions. Moreover, we find that the temperature dependence of the reorientation dynamics and of the translational diffusion differs in severe confinements, indicating a breakdown of the Stokes-Einstein-Debye relation. It is discussed to what extent these confinement effects can be rationalized in the framework of core-shell models, which assume bulk-like and slowed-down motions in central and interfacial confinement regions, respectively.

Effects of Ionic Strength on Lateral Particle Migration in Shear-Thinning Xanthan Gum Solutions.

Project description:Viscoelastic fluids, including particulate systems, are found in various biological and industrial systems including blood flow, food, cosmetics, and electronic materials. Particles suspended in viscoelastic fluids such as polymer solutions migrate laterally, forming spatially segregated streams in pressure-driven flow. Viscoelastic particle migration was recently applied to microfluidic technologies including particle counting and sorting and the micromechanical measurement of living cells. Understanding the effects on equilibrium particle positions of rheological properties of suspending viscoelastic fluid is essential for designing microfluidic applications. It has been considered that the shear-thinning behavior of viscoelastic fluid is a critical factor in determining the equilibrium particle positions. This work presents the lateral particle migration in two different xanthan gum-based viscoelastic fluids with similar shear-thinning viscosities and the linear viscoelastic properties. The flexibility and contour length of the xanthan gum molecules were tuned by varying the ionic strength of the solvent. Particles suspended in flexible and short xanthan gum solution, dissolved at high ionic strength, migrated toward the corners in a square channel, whereas particles in the rigid and long xanthan gum solutions in deionized water migrated toward the centerline. This work suggests that the structural properties of polymer molecules play significant roles in determining the equilibrium positions in shear-thinning fluids, despite similar bulk rheological properties. The current results are expected to be used in a wide range of applications such as cell counting and sorting.

Elucidation of the Relationship between Intrinsic Viscosity and Molecular Weight of Cellulose Dissolved in Tetra-N-Butyl Ammonium Hydroxide/Dimethyl Sulfoxide.

Project description:The determination of molecular weight of natural cellulose remains a challenge nowadays, due to the difficulty in dissolving cellulose. In this work, tetra-n-butylammonium hydroxide (TBAH) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) aqueous solution (THDS) were used to dissolve cellulose in a few minutes under room temperature into true molecular solutions. That is to say, the cellulose was dissolved in the solution in molecular level, and the viscosity of the solution is linearly dependent on the concentration of cellulose. The relationship between the molecular weight of cellulose and the intrinsic viscosity tested in such dilute solutions has been established in the form of the Mark-Houwink equation, ?=0.24×DP1.21. The value of 1.21 indicates that the cellulose molecules dissolve in THDS quite well. The cellulose dispersion in the THDS was proved to be in molecular level by atomic force microscope (AFM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The reliability of the established Mark-Houwink equation was cross-checked by the gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and traditional copper (II) ethylenediamine (CED) method. No considerate degradation was observed by comparing the intrinsic viscosity and the degree of polymerization (DP) values of the original with and the regenerated cellulose samples. The natural cellulose can be molecularly dispersed in the multiple-component solvent (THDS), and kept stable for a certain period. A time efficient and reliable method has been supplied for determination of the degree of polymerization and the molecular weight of cellulose.

In-silico prediction of concentration-dependent viscosity curves for monoclonal antibody solutions.

Project description:Early stage developability assessments of monoclonal antibody (mAb) candidates can help reduce risks and costs associated with their product development. Forecasting viscosity of highly concentrated mAb solutions is an important aspect of such developability assessments. Reliable predictions of concentration-dependent viscosity behaviors for mAb solutions in platform formulations can help screen or optimize drug candidates for flexible manufacturing and drug delivery options. Here, we present a computational method to predict concentration-dependent viscosity curves for mAbs solely from their sequence-structural attributes. This method was developed using experimental data on 16 different mAbs whose concentration-dependent viscosity curves were experimentally obtained under standardized conditions. Each concentration-dependent viscosity curve was fitted with a straight line, via logarithmic manipulations, and the values for intercept and slope were obtained. Intercept, which relates to antibody diffusivity, was found to be nearly constant. In contrast, slope, the rate of increase in solution viscosity with solute concentration, varied significantly across different mAbs, demonstrating the importance of intermolecular interactions toward viscosity. Next, several molecular descriptors for electrostatic and hydrophobic properties of the 16 mAbs derived using their full-length homology models were examined for potential correlations with the slope. An equation consisting of hydrophobic surface area of full-length antibody and charges on VH, VL, and hinge regions was found to be capable of predicting the concentration-dependent viscosity curves of the antibody solutions. Availability of this computational tool may facilitate material-free high-throughput screening of antibody candidates during early stages of drug discovery and development.

Effect of Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic Metal Oxide Nanoparticles on the Performance of Xanthan Gum Solutions for Heavy Oil Recovery.

Project description:Recent studies revealed higher polymer flooding performance upon adding metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) to acrylamide-based polymers during heavy oil recovery. The current study considers the effect of TiO₂, Al₂O₃, in-situ prepared Fe(OH)₃ and surface-modified SiO₂ NPs on the performance of xanthan gum (XG) solutions to enhance heavy oil recovery. Surface modification of the SiO₂ NPs was achieved by chemical grafting with 3-(methacryloyloxy)propyl]trimethoxysilane (MPS) and octyltriethoxysilane (OTES). The nanopolymer sols were characterized by their rheological properties and ζ-potential measurements. The efficiency of the nanopolymer sols in displacing oil was assessed using a linear sand-pack at 25 °C and two salinities (0.3 wt % and 1.0 wt % NaCl). The ζ-potential measurements showed that the NP dispersions in deionized (DI) water are unstable, but their colloidal stability improved in presence of XG. The addition of unmodified and modified SiO₂ NPs increased the viscosity of the XG solution at all salinities. However, the high XG adsorption onto the surface of Fe(OH)₃, Al₂O₃, and TiO₂ NPs reduced the viscosity of the XG solution. Also, the NPs increased the cumulative oil recovery between 3% and 9%, and between 1% and 5% at 0 wt % and 0.3 wt % NaCl, respectively. At 1.0 wt % NaCl, the NPs reduced oil recovery by XG solution between 5% and 12%, except for Fe(OH)₃ and TiO₂ NPs. These NPs increased the oil recovery between 2% and 3% by virtue of reduced polymer adsorption caused by the alkalinity of the Fe(OH)₃ and TiO₂ nanopolymer sols.

Effect of cosolutes on the rheological and thermal properties of Tara gum aqueous solutions.

Project description:The influence of the concentration (5-20 mg/mL) of different cosolutes (sucrose and NaCl) on the rheological and thermal properties of concentrated Tara gum (TG) solutions (1.5-2.5% w/v) was investigated. Furthermore, the structural properties of the TG, TG-sucrose and TG-NaCl solutions were studied. The TG, TG-sucrose and TG-NaCl solutions exhibited a pseudoplastic and typical viscoelastic behavior of an entangled network structure. An increase in the TG concentration increased the pseudoplasticity and the elasticity of the solutions, while the incorporation of NaCl reduced these properties. Sucrose had little influence on the rheological properties of the TG solutions. The texture profile and the water holding capacity of the TG solutions were significantly influenced by the concentration of the TG and did not change with the addition of the cosolutes. The thermal stability of the TG solutions was reduced by NaCl and was not altered by sucrose. The microstructures of the TG solutions was significantly affected by NaCl, supporting the results obtained from rheological and thermal analyses. The results of this study may be useful for the formulation and processing of foods containing TG.

Binding of quercetin and curcumin to human serum albumin in aqueous dimethyl sulfoxide and in aqueous ethanol.

Project description:The paper reports the spectrofluorimetric and calorimetric study of binding of two hydrophobic biologically active molecules with antioxidant ability, flavonoids quercetin, and curcumin, to human serum albumin (HSA) in water, aqueous DMSO (0.05 and 0.1 mol. fraction of DMSO), and aqueous ethanol (0.05 mol. fraction of EtOH). Both flavonoids induce the quenching of HSA fluorescence. The stability constants of associates, as well as the changes in enthalpy of the reaction between quercetin and protein, were evaluated. The influence of solvent composition and additions of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin as a solubilizer of hydrophobic molecules, on the association processes is discussed.Supplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10973-022-11216-8.

Dynamic light scattering of xanthan gum biopolymer in colloidal dispersion.

Project description:The dynamical properties of nanogels of xanthan gum (XG) with hydrodynamic radius controlled in a size range from 5 nm to 35 nm, were studied at the different XG concentrations in water/sodium bis-2-ethylhexyl-sulfosuccinate (AOT)/decane reverse micelles (RMs) vs. mass fraction of nano-droplet (MFD) at W = 40, using dynamic light scattering (DLS). The diffusion study of nanometer-sized droplets by DLS technique indicated that enhancing concentration of the XG polysaccharide resulted in exchanging the attractive interaction between nano-gels to repulsive interaction, as the mass fraction of nano-droplets increased. The reorientation time (?r ) of water nanodroplets decreased with MFD for water-in-oil AOT micro-emulsion comprising high concentration (0.0000625) of XG. On the other hand, decreasing concentration of biopolymer led to increasing the rotational correlation time of water nanodroplets with MFD. In conclusion, a single relaxation curve was observed for AOT inverse microemulsions containing different XG concentrations. Furthermore, the interaction between nanogels was changed from attractive to repulsive versus concentration of XG in the AOT RMs.

Non-aqueous, zwitterionic solvent as an alternative for dimethyl sulfoxide in the life sciences.

Project description:Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is widely used as a solvent in the life sciences, however, it is somewhat toxic and affects cell behaviours in a range of ways. Here, we propose a zwitterionic liquid (ZIL), a zwitterion-type ionic liquid containing histidine-like module, as a new alternative to DMSO. ZIL is not cell permeable, less toxic to cells and tissues, and has great potential as a vehicle for various hydrophobic drugs. Notably, ZIL can serve as a solvent for stock solutions of platinating agents, whose anticancer effects are completely abolished by dissolution in DMSO. Furthermore, ZIL possesses suitable affinity to the plasma membrane and acts as a cryoprotectant. Our results suggest that ZIL is a potent, multifunctional and biocompatible solvent that compensates for many shortcomings of DMSO.

Beneficial Effect of Polysaccharide Gel Made of Xanthan Gum and Locust Bean Gum on Bovine Oocytes.

Project description:The present study examined the effect of polysaccharides gels made of xanthan gum and locust bean gum (gel culture system) on oocyte maturation and explored the molecules causing the beneficial effect of the gel culture system. Oocytes and cumulus cells complexes were collected from slaughterhouse-derived ovaries and cultured on a plastic plate or gel. The gel culture system improved the rate of development to the blastocyst stage. The oocytes that matured on the gel contained high lipid contents and F-actin formation, and the resultant 8-cell stage embryos had low DNA methylation levels compared to their plate counterparts. RNA sequencing of the oocytes and embryos revealed the differentially expressed genes between the gel and plate culture systems, and upstream regulator analysis revealed estradiol and TGFB1 as top activated upstream molecules. The medium of the gel culture system contained higher concentrations of estradiol and TGFB1 than that of the plate cultures system. Supplementation of the maturation medium with either estradiol or TGFB1 resulted in high lipid content in oocytes. In addition, TGFB1 improved the developmental ability of the oocytes and increased F-actin content while reducing DNA methylation levels in the 8-cell stage embryos. In conclusion, the gel culture system is useful for embryo production, potentially through the upregulation of TGFB1.
