Racemization kinetics of meluadrine tartrate in aqueous solution.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The kinetics of racemization of meluadrine tartrate in aqueous solution was investigated by HPLC, over the pH range of 1.2 to 12 at 40, 60 and 80 degrees C. The racemization was followed by measuring both the residual (R)-enantiomer and formed (S)-enantiomer of meluadrine. The pH-racemization rate profile of meluadrine showed a minimum racemization rate constant between pH 4 and 6, and the rate constant increased rapidly with decreasing pH below pH 3. In the basic region, the racemization rate constant showed a maximum at around pH 9. Four pathways of racemization of meluadrine are proposed, depending on the dissociation state of the phenolic and amino groups. The calculated racemization rate-pH profile agreed well with the observations. The values of activation energy (95-115 kJ/mol) suggest that a similar quinoid intermediate is involved throughout the pH range examined. The objective of this study is to clarify the racemization mechanism of benzylalcohol derivative with phenoric group. This study offers fundamental knowledge for the other benzylalcohol derivatives, which have similar moiety structure.

This study was designed to elucidate the effects of meluadrine tartrate on oxytocin-induced uterine contraction and maternal hemodynamics in unanesthetized, chronically instrumented pregnant goats. After the administration of meluadrine tartrate or ritodrine hydrochloride to pregnant goats, changes in heart rate (HR), arterial blood pressure (AOP), and arterial blood pH and gasses (P(O2) and P(...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of tartrate ion (C4H4O62-) on the extraction and separation of zinc and cadmium using D2EHPA extractant. The presence of tartrate ion in the solution caused the shift of the extraction curve of zinc and cadmium to the more alkaline pH; however, the shifting rate for the cadmium extraction curve was more significant. In the absence of tartrat...

In a previous investigation du Vigneaud and Sealock (1) have reported that the sodium salt of acetyl-l-tryptophane in aqueous solution at 35-40” is completely racemized by acetic anhydride within a few hours. The ease of racemization and particularly the mild conditions under which the reaction occurred seemed to us to offer an excellent method for racemizing amino acids if the reaction should ...
متن کاملQuantitative Prediction of Rate Constants for Aqueous Racemization To Avoid Pointless Stereoselective Syntheses
Racemization has a large impact upon the biological properties of molecules but the chemical scope of compounds with known rate constants for racemization in aqueous conditions was hitherto limited. To address this remarkable blind spot, we have measured the kinetics for racemization of 28 compounds using circular dichroism and 1 H NMR spectroscopy. We show that rate constants for racemization ...
