A novel water-soluble paclitaxel complex has been prepared by inclusion complexation with bridged bis(beta-cyclodextrin)s and characterized by means of (1)H NMR, SEM, powder X-ray diffraction patterns, TG-DTA, DSC, FT-IR, and 2D NOESY. The cyclodextrins were able to solubilize paclitaxel to levels as high as 2 mg/mL. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity of the novel complexes was assessed using a K562 leukemia cell line which indicated that drug concentrations of 10 pg/mL elicited an inhibitory effect.

Novel bismuth(III) complexes 1-4 with the tridentate thiosemicarbazone ligand of 2N1S donor atoms [Hmtsc (L1); 2-acetylpyridine (4N-morpholyl thiosemicarbazone)], the pentadentate double-armed thiosemicarbazone ligand of 3N2S donor atoms [H2dmtsc (L3); 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis(4N-morpholyl thiosemicarbazone)] and the pentadentate double-armed semicarbazone ligand of 3N2O donor atoms [H2dasc (L4b); 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis(semicarbazone)], were prepared by reactions of bismuth(III) nitrate or bismuth(III) chloride and characterized by elemental analysis, thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA), FTIR and NMR (1H and 13C) spectroscopy. The crystal and molecular structures of complexes 1, 2a, 2b and 4b, and the "free" ligand L1 were determined by single-crystal X-ray structure analysis. The dimeric 7-coordinate bismuth(III) complex [Bi(dmtsc)(NO3)]2, 1, and the monomeric 7-coordinate complexes [Bi(Hdasc)(H2O)](NO3)2.H2O (major product), 2a, and [Bi(dasc)(H2O)]NO3.H2O (minor product), 2b, all with pentagonal bipyramidal bismuth(III) centers, are depicted with one electron pair (6s2) of the bismuth(III) atom, deprotonated forms of multidentate thiosemicarbazone or semicarbazone ligands, and monodentate NO3 or H2O ligands, respectively. These complexes are related to the positional isomers of one electron pair of the bismuth(III) atom; 1 has an electron pair positioned in the pentagonal plane (basal position), while 2a and 2b have an electron pair in the apical position. The monomeric 8-coordinate complex [Bi(mtsc)2(NO3)], 4b, which was obtained by slow evaporation in MeOH of the 1.5 hydrates 4a, was depicted with one electron pair of the bismuth(III) atom, two deprotonated mtsc- ligand and one nitrate ion. On the other hand, crystals of the complex "[Bi(mtsc)Cl2]", 3, prepared by a reaction of BiCl3 with L1 showed several polymorphs (3a, 3b, 3c and 3d) due to coordination and/or solvation of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) used in the crystallization. Bismuth(III) complexes 1 and 4a showed selective and effective antibacterial activities against Gram-positive bacteria. The structure-activity relationship was discussed.

A complex of cerium(III) with 4-methyl-7-hydroxycoumarin was synthesized by mixing water solutions of cerium(III) nitrate and 4-methyl-7-hydroxycoumarin sodium salt in a metal-to-ligand molar ratio of 1:2. The complex was characterized and identified by elemental analysis, conductometry, IR, 1H and 13C NMR-spectroscopy, mass spectral data, DTA and TGA. Thermal analysis of the complex indicated the formation of a compound of the composition CeR2(OH).5H2O, R standing for the ligand. The reaction of cerium(III) with 4-methyl-7-hydroxycoumarin was studied in detail by the spectrophotometric method. The stepwise formation of two complexes, vis., CeR2+ and CeR2+, was established in the pH region studied. The equilibrium constants for 1:1 and 1:2 complexes were determined to be 10.72 and 9.22, respectively.

Physicochemical characterization of manganese-nodule leached residues was carried out by chemical analyses, XRD, TG-DTA, surface area measurement, and FTIR techniques. The material is very fine-grained (<75 microm), is cryptocrystalline to amorphous in nature, and contains mainly of delta-MnO(2), quartz (alpha-SiO(2)), and zeolite/feldspar minerals. Physically adsorbed sulfates in the leached residue are removed by repeated water washing and the washed sample shows an appreciable increase in surface area. This is indicated by the absence of 1387 and 1099 cm(-1) peaks in the IR spectrum of the washed sample. The adsorption behavior of the washed sample toward Ni(2+) was recorded as a function of time, pH, temperature, and concentrations of adsorbent and adsorbate.

Acute trauma or trauma associated with occlusal disharmony can produce tooth crack or fracture. Although several methods are proposed to treat the defect, however, the prognosis is generally poor. If the fusion of a tooth fracture by laser is possible it will offer an alternative to extraction or at least serve as an adjunctive treatment in the reconstruction. The responses of soft tissues to lasers of different wavelengths are fairly well known, but the reactions of hard tissues are still to be understood. The purpose of this research was to study the feasibility of using a medium energy continuous-wave CO(2) laser and a low melting-point bioactive glass to fuse or bridge tooth fractures. The present report is focused on the first part of the research, the analysis of changes in laser-irradiated human tooth enamel/dentin by means of X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Fourier-transforming infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential thermal analysis/thermogravimetric analysis (DTA/TGA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). After CO(2) laser irradiation, there were no marked changes in the X-ray diffraction pattern of the enamel when compared to that before laser treatment. However, a small peak belonging to alpha-TCP appeared at the position of 2theta=30.78 degrees C. After being treated with CO(2) laser, the dentin showed much sharper peaks on the diffraction patterns because of grain growth and better crystallinity. alpha-TCP and beta-TCP were identified after laser treatment. In the FTIR analysis, an HPO(4)(-2) absorption band was noted before laser treatment disappeared after the irradiation. No significant change in the absorption band of HPO(4)(-2) was found on the FTIR curves of enamel after laser treatment. The results of DTA/TGA indicated that loss of water and organic materials occurred in both enamel and dentin after laser treatment. Under SEM, melting and resolidification occurred in both enamel and dentin by medium energy of CO(2) laser. This implies that using a continuous-wave CO(2) laser of medium energy density to fuse a low melting-point bioactive glass to the enamel/dentin is possible. We believe these phase changes and thermal data can make a useful guide for future studies on the thermal interaction and bridging mechanism between the bioactive glass and enamel/dentin under CO(2) laser irradiation.

[M(H2L)2](A)2.yH2O (where H2L: neutral piroxicam (Pir), A: Cl- in case of Ni(II) or acetate anion in case of Cu(II) and Zn(II) ions and y=0-2.5) and [M(H2L)3](A)z.yH2O (A: SO4(2-) in case of Fe(II) ion (z=1) or Cl(-) in case of Fe(III) (z=3) and Co(II) ions (z=2) and y=1-4) chelates are prepared and characterized using elemental analyses, IR, magnetic and electronic reflectance measurements, mass spectra and thermal analyses. IR spectra reveal that Pir behaves a neutral bidentate ligand coordinated to the metal ions through the pyridyl-N and carbonyl-O of the amide moiety. The reflectance and magnetic moment measurements reveal that these chelates have tetrahedral, square planar and octahedral geometrical structures. Mass spectra and thermal analyses are also used to confirm the proposed formulae and the possible fragments resulted from fragmentation of Pir and its chelates. The thermal behaviour of the chelates (TGA and DTA) are discussed in detail and the thermal stability of the anhydrous chelates follow the order Ni(II) congruent with Cu(II) Fe(II)<Zn(II)<Fe(III)<Co(II) chelates. The water molecules are removed in the first step while the Pir molecule is removed in the second and subsequent steps. X-ray powder diffraction was also used as a confirmatory tool to elucidate the crystallinity of the chelates.

Interaction of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO, 600 kDa) with fumed silica A-300 (SBET = 316 m2/g) was investigated under different conditions using adsorption, infrared (IR), thermal analysis (TG-DTA), AFM, and quantum chemical methods. The studied dried silica/PEO samples were also carbonized in a flow reactor at 773 K. The structural characteristics of fumed silica, PEO/silica, and pyrocarbon/fumed silica were investigated using nitrogen adsorption-desorption at 77.4 K. PEO adsorption isotherm depicts a high affinity of PEO to the fumed silica surface in aqueous medium. PEO adsorbed in the amount of 50 mg per gram of silica (PEO monolayer corresponds to CPEO approximately 190 mg/g) can disturb approximately 70% of isolated surface silanols. However, at the monolayer coverage, only 20% of oxygen atoms of PEO molecules take part in the hydrogen bonding with the surface silanols. An increase in the PEO amount adsorbed on fumed silica leads to a diminution of the specific surface area and contributions of micro- (pore radius R < 1 nm) and mesopores (1 < R < 25 nm) to the pore volume but contribution of macropores (R > 25 nm) increases with CPEO. Quantum chemical calculations of a complex of a PEO fragment with a tripple bond SiOH group of a silica cluster in the gas phase and with consideration for the solvent (water) effect show a reduction of interaction energy in the aqueous medium. However, the complex remains strong enough to provide durability of the PEO adsorption complexes on fumed silica; i.e., PEO/fumed silica nanocomposites could be stable in both gaseous and liquid media.

The inclusion complexation behavior of paclitaxel with a series of oligo(ethylenediamino) bridged bis(beta-cyclodextrin)s possessing bridge chains in different length (1-4) has been investigated in order to improve the water solubility of paclitaxel. It is found that only the long-tethered bis(beta-cyclodextrin)s 1 and 2 can form the inclusion complexes with paclitaxel, which are characterized by NMR, SEM, XRD, FT-IR, TG-DTA, DSC, and microcalorimetry technology. The results obtained show that bis(beta-cyclodextrin)s 1 and 2 are able to solubilize paclitaxel to high levels up to 2 and 0.9 mg/mL, respectively. The high complex stability of bis(beta-cyclodextrin) 1 and paclitaxel is discussed from thermodynamic viewpoint. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity of these complexes assessed using a human erythroleukemia K562 cell line indicates that the IC(50) value of 1/paclitaxel complex is 6.0 x 10(-10) mol/dm(3) (calculated as paclitaxel molar concentration), which means that the antitumor activity of 1/paclitaxel complex is better than that of parent paclitaxel (IC(50) value 9.8 x 10(-10) mol/dm(3)). This high antitumor activity, along with the satisfactory water solubility and high thermal stability of the 1/paclitaxel complex, will be potentially useful for its clinical application as a highly effective antitumor drug.
