Recommended Citation Qiu, Yang. "Dissolution mechanisms: theoretical and experimental investigations. ABSTRACT Dissolution rate is an important indicator of drug bioavailability. In this work, a mixed-kinetic-controlled dissolution model was developed which encompasses transport control and interface control as limiting cases. This model is mathematically equivalent to two existing mixed-kineti...

extracts of cotoneaster medicus, glycyrrhiza glabra, as endemic plants of iran, along with mixture of them were investigated for their antioxidant activities using 2, 2- diphenyl-1-picrylhidrazyl (dpph) reagent. uv-vis spectrophotometry method was used to evaluate the ability of cotoneaster and glycyrrhiza glabra antioxidant to scavenge dpph radical. the kinetic parameters such as rate constant...

the kinetics of the reactions between triphenylphosphine 1 and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates 2, in the presence of a nh-acid such as 5-nitroindazole 3,were studied. corresponding kinetic parameters to all reactions were evaluated, with the second order rate constant (k) values calculated. effects of solvent, temperature, and reactants (dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates) structure and concentrat...

the kinetics of old corrugated container (occ) soda-oxygen delignification was investigated. three delignification temperatures (145,165 and 175ºc) were applied. the pulping duration was adjusted at 150 minutes and the measurements were conducted at 10 minutes intervals. the pulping consistency, oxygen pressure and active alkali were constant at 10%, 6 bar and 18% naoh respectively in all pulpi...

2,3-dioxogulonic acid and the disodium salt of its enol were synthesised, isolated and identified both chemically and spectroscopically. A kinetic study was carried out on its equilibrium by means of the “stopped flow” method for rapid processes, and the rate constants for the forward and backward reaction were determined as a function of the pH of the medium. The kinetic coefficients involved,...

A kinetic analysis of cleavage of simian virus DNA (SV40 DNA) inside and outside green monkey BSC-1 cells by the enediyne-protein antibiotic C-1027 and its free chromophore is described. Information on rate constants was obtained by fitting populations of forms I (closed circular DNA), II (nicked circular DNA) and III (linear DNA) SV40 DNA as a function of drug concentration to a kinetic model ...

Threonyl-tRNA synthetase (ThrRS) must discriminate among closely related amino acids to maintain the fidelity of protein synthesis. Here, a pre-steady state kinetic analysis of the ThRS-catalyzed adenylation reaction was carried out by monitoring changes in intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence. Stopped flow fluorimetry for the forward reaction gave a saturable fluorescence quench whose apparent ra...

Congo red is a synthetic azo-dye dye with many industrial applications. The effluents containing azo dyes are causing several environmental hazards and thus should be treated prior to their discharge. The present work investigates the possible use of a novel microbial consortium from sheep compost for the decolorization of Congo red dye. The effect of different parameters including contact time...

Recent experiments have confirmed the importance of nuclear quantum effects even in large biomolecules at physiological temperature. Here we describe how the path integral formalism can be used to describe rigorously the nuclear quantum effects on equilibrium and kinetic properties of molecules. Specifically, we explain how path integrals can be employed to evaluate the equilibrium (EIE) and ki...

The removal of progesterone by ozone in aqueous solution was studied in this work. The absolute rate constant was evaluated and first by-products were identified. The reaction was studied in the 2.0-8.0 pH range and was found to be a second-order reaction, first-order relative to each compound concentration. The rate constant, determined by kinetic experiments in presence of an OH radical scave...
