    Notes: Thermospray LC/MS methods with internal standardization were developed for the quantification of the antimalarial arteether and six of its metabolites at the 1-10 μg/ml level in liver microsome preparations without the use of solvent extraction. The thermospray mass spectra of arteether and most of its metabolites exhibited strong [M + NH4]+ and [M - OR]+ peaks arising from the molecular ion adduct and the loss of the alkoxy or hydroxy group of the side chain. In addition to the six metabolites for which authentic reference standards were available, three additional metabolites were detected. The major metabolites of arteether were found to be dihydroartemisinin, deoxydihydroartemisinin, 3-hydroxydeoxydihydroartemisinin, two isomers of hydroxyarteether, and 3-hydroxydeoxyarteether. Deoxyartheether was not found at significant concentrations in the microsome preparation.

    Notes: Batch hydrolysis kinetics of paper birch (Betula papyrifera) xylan and its associated acetyl groups in dilute sulfuric acid have been measured for acid concentrations of between 0.04 and 0.18M and temperatures of between 100 and 170°C. Only 5% of the cellulose was hydrolyzed for up to 85% xylan removal. Rate data were correlated well by a parallel reaction model based on the existence of reactive and resistant xylan portions. The resulting rate equation predicts the experimental xylan concentrations in the residue to within 10%. Hydrolysis of xylan-associated acetyl groups was found to occur at the same rate as that of xylan, except at 100°C, where acetyl is released preferentially. No effect of acid concentration on the rate of acetyl removal relative to that of xylan was evident.

    Notes: Aspen (Populus tremuloides) and black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa) organosolv pulps produced in a wide range of solvent composition (between 30 and 70% by volume of methanol) and catalysts (H2SO4 and H3PO4) such that the cooking liquor pH ≤ 3 are easily digested by enzymes. The total yields of hydrolysis residues (pulps) are in the 40-60% range; the acid-catalyzed delignification followed by enzyme hydrolysis can generate 70-88% of the original six-carbon sugars contained in the wood. Glucomannan and arablnogalactan are dissolved into the pulping liquor in the pH range of 2-4.5. Lower pH (≤3) leads to additional solubilization of six-carbon sugars. These sugars may be fermented directly. From the insoluble hydrolysis residues, 36-41% conversions of wood into fermentable sugars were obtained after enzyme hydrolysis; the starting feedstocks contain 50.8 and 46.6% hexosans, respectively, for aspen and black cotton-wood. The kinetics of enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose can be formally treated as two simultaneous pseudo-first-order reactions in which fast and slow hydrolyses of cellulose occur. Correlations between the glucan digestibility and the effect of the pretreatment have been made. The higher residual xylan content reduces the amount of the rapidly hydrolyzable glucan fraction and lowers the glucan digestibility. The proposed simple kinetic treatment is very helpful in assessing the effect of the pretreatment on pulp enzyme hydrolyzability.

    Notes: A combination of ionic strength reduction and diafiltration of Trichoderma reesei cellulate complex through a hollow fiber apparatus of 5000 molecular weight (MW) cutoff and subsequent passage of filtrate over a Spherogel-TSK 3000-SW column provided extracts that had the ability to generate microfibrils in filter paper and to disrupt filter paper and corn leaf tissue. Milligram quantities of material obtained from these extracts released small amounts of soluble carbohydrate from filter paper, required ferric iron for increased activity, and contained amino acids. Short fiber formation and disruption of filter paper during interaction with these extracts was enhanced by prior acid treatment and eliminated by prior base treatment. The amount of soluble carbohydrate hydrolyzed in 24 h from filter paper by whole cellulase complex was not changed by first disrupting the substrate with the extracts.

    Notes: Reactive polystyrene (OPS) and reactive polyethylene (CPE) with oxazoline and carboxylic acid functionality, respectively, were melt blended in a Rheomix mixer under a variety of conditions. The properties of these blends were examined and correlated with the compositions and mixing conditions such as shear rate, time, and temperature. An increase in torque was observed, which is believed related to chemical reaction between OPS and CPE. The difference between the maximum and minimum torque (Tmax-Tmin), increases from 48 to a maximum of 510 m-g for 10 and 40% CPE reacted blends, respectively, But on further increase in the CPE amount in the blend the torque increase drops reaching a final minimum value of 133 m-g for a blend with 90% CPE. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) studies reveal a single first order transition, due to CPE, for each of these polymer blends. Furthermore, evidence of the glass transition temperature for OPS diminishes with increasing CPE content and mixing time. Scanning Electron Micrographs (SEM) show a fine dispersion in these reactive blends, with particle size much smaller than a micron. Blends with 50% or more CPE have no distinguishable features as such. Mechanical properties such as elongation at break of reacted blends are improved over the nonreactive polyethylene (PE) and polystyrene (PS) blends. An intermolecular reaction between the OPS and CPE results in a graft polymer, which imparts improvement in the overall properties of these reacted blends. The maximum grafting reaction corresponds to 40% CPE blend, which is being evaluated as a potential compatibilizer.

    Notes: Acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber having carboxylic acid groups (XNBR) and polystyrene having oxazoline groups, were melt blended in a Rheomix mixer under optimized conditions, The ratio of rubber to polystyrene phase was kept constant at 1:4 by weight. The concentration of the reactive oxazoline groups in the polystyrene phase was varied by mixing polystyrene (PS) with a copolymer of styrene and vinyl oxazoline (OPS). A torque rise observed during blending was found to be related to the concentration of oxazoline-carboxylic acid pairs. This torque rise, and independently measured increases in viscosity, both indicate inter-polymer crosslinkihg. Scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the morphology of the blends. Improved rubber phase dispersion was observed with increasing oxazoline concentration. Instrumented impact strength measurements were made using an unnotched Charpy technique. The plastic yielding was then quantified with the use of a ductility ratio. The impact strengths and ductility of the reactive blends are found to be up to 73% greater than those of the corresponding non-reactive blends. Increasing the OPS concentration beyond 5% results in decreasing impact strength, for as the compatibility increases, the rubber particle size decreases below an effective size for rubber toughening. Similar impact improvement is observed when the major PS phase is substituted with high impact polystyrene (HIPS) containing some OPS.

    Notes: The production of a polymer containing basic functional groups via the reactive processing of polyethylene was investigated. Grafting of dimethylamino ethyl methacrylate, DMAEMA, to linear low-density polyethylene in the melt was carried out, and the effects of initiator type, feed composition, and reaction time and temperature were studied. The extent of grafting was determined by Fourier transform infrared and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and the degree of cross-linking was observed by measuring the products' melt indices. Thermal stability of the product was investigated using differential scanning calorimetry. Materials containing up to 3 wt% of grafted DMAEMA were prepared. The choice of appropriate feed compositions and reaction conditions allows the production of a material containing the maximum amount of grafted DMAEMA, while minimizing cross-linking. The grafted polyethylene produced under these conditions is more stable than the starting material, suggesting an antioxidant effect of the grafted moieties. The functional polymer produced should be of interest for the preparation of polymer blends with acidic polymers by virtue of the miscibility enhancement that could occur as compared with the hydrocarbon precursor.

    Notes: Many drugs contain a chiral centre, or such a centre is introduced during metabolism of the drug in man and in animals. If a single chiral centre is present, the drug will normally exist as a mixture of two enantiomers, of which one may have quite different pharmacologic and/or toxic effects than the other. Chiral drugs that are used in psychiatry, and some other pharmacologically related drugs are identified, and the implications of the presence of one or two chiral centres in these drugs are discussed. Differences in pharmacologic properties of drug and metabolite enantiomers are identified and discussed. Also reviewed are the properties of some drugs used in psychiatry that both are chiral and display geometric isomerism.

    Notes: The use of octafluorotoluene (OFT) as a versatile gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric derivatizing agent for steroids containing alcoholic, phenolic or α,β-unsaturated keto functions, is described. Two distinct derivatizing schemes can be utilized, involving (method 1) a phase-transfer reaction, employing a two-phase system of CH2Cl2 and N NaOH with n-Bu4NHSO4 as catalyst (suitable for alcoholic and phenolic steroids) and (method 2) a reaction conducted in anhydrous dimethylformamide at 155°C with CsF as base (appropriate for α,β-unsaturated keto steroids). Perfluorotolyl (PFT) ethers and/or enol ethers have thus been generated. The electron impact spectra display abundant high-mass molecular ions where derivatization has occurred at a phenolic or enolic function. An extraction, derivatization and gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric scheme has been devised involving method 2 for the analysis of steroids in human plasma. A preliminary quantitative investigation of the levels of testosterone in plasma has been carried out employing these methods. The anomalously high level found is explained in terms of the presence in plasma of lipid-soluble derivatives of testosterone (probably fatty acid esters) which generate the testosterone bis-OFT derivative under the reaction conditions employed.
