The first aim of the present investigation was to prepare solid dispersions to improve the dissolution properties of oxcarbazepine and quetiapine using PEG 6000 as a carrier with the help of two methods of preparations viz. spray drying and modified solvent method, and to compare the two methods. The second objective was to apply the modified solvent method for preparation of sustained re...

Molecular mechanics with generalised Born and surface area solvation (MM/GBSA) is a popular method to calculate the free energy of the binding of ligands to proteins. It involves molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with an explicit solvent of the protein-ligand complex to give a set of snapshots for which energies are calculated with an implicit solvent. This change in the solvation method (exp...

We previously developed the first method to predict real valued accessible surface area in proteins, which was shown to contain more information than 100% correct predictions in a binary space of exposure states. Neural networks used for solvent accessibility predictions, however work as good predictors with invisible modeling of knowledge they learn. In view of this a direct statistical analys...

Molecular dynamics with explicit solvent is favored for its ability to more correctly simulate aqueous biological processes and has become routine thanks to increasingly powerful computational resources. However, analysis techniques including Markov state models (MSMs) ignore solvent atoms and focus solely on solute coordinates despite solvent being implicated in myriad biological phenomena. We...

The solubility of CdF2 in the mixed solvent (water(1)+ethanol(2)) with mass fraction, W1 = 0.9,was determined by using solvent evaporating method in the presence of various concentrations(0.100, 0.200, 0.300, 0.400, 0.500, 0.600, 0.800 and 1.500 mo1.1)) of NaCI at 25°C. The values ofsolubility and solubility product constant of CdF2 in the mixed solvent were evaluated at zero ionicstrength upon...

the present study aimed to use a method for the synthesis of some 3, 4-dihydropyrimidin-2-(1h) - ones/thiones. the study tried to answer the question whether this reaction can be performed without solvent and with new catalyst or not. to find answer to the question, we described a novel protocol for the efficient synthesis of 3, 4-dihydropyrimidin-2-(1h)-one derivatives using aromatic aldehyde,...

Mesoporous photocatalysts of CeO2/SBA-15 are prepared by two methods of direct synthesis as solvent-usage and solvent-free methods. In solvent-usage method, CeO2/SBA-15 is synthesized in acidic media. While, in solvent-free method, CeO2/SBA-15, has been prepared through the novel path of directly grind cerium salt into the as-prepared samples of SBA-15 occluded ...

a method based on the ultrasound-assisted solidification of floating drop microextraction technique was developed for the spectrophotometric and spectrofluorimetric determination of curcumin in turmeric powder. in this work a small volume of an organic solvent was floated on the surface of an aqueous solution. after sonication the organic solvent is solidified and separated. the effect of extra...

Egg consumption, at more than 65 billion per year in the United States, represents a potentially significant source of exposure to drug residues, particularly if the laying hens are treated with antimicrobial compounds or fed a diet containing medicated feed. Residues resulting from the use of chloramphenicol (CAP) is especially problematic if this compound is not used in accordance with nation...

The solvent evaporation method on the structural changes and surface chemistry of the cathode and the effect of electrochemical performance of Li1.0Ni0.8Co0.15Mn0.05O2 (NCM) has been investigated. After dissolving of Li residuals using minimum content of solvent in order to minimize the damage of pristine material and the evaporation time, the solvent was evaporated without filtering and remain...
