it has been observed that most of the chemical entities have high lipophilicity and poor aqueous solubility, which result in poor bioavailability. in order to improve the bioavailability, the release behavior of such drugs should be improved. although there are numerous techniques to handle solubility related issue, but they are expensive due to involvement of complicated equipments, advanced m...

The non-polar component of the potential of mean force of dimerization of alanine dipeptide has been calculated in explicit solvent by free energy perturbation. We observe that the calculated PMF is inconsistent with a non-polar hydration free energy model based solely on the solute surface area. The non-linear behavior of the solute-solvent van der Waals energy is primarily responsible for the...

To clarify the combined effects of organic solvents and noise on hearing, the upper limit of hearing was measured in 48 male workers exposed to organic solvents and/or noise in a factory producing plastic buttons. Measuring the organic solvent concentrations in working environments and breathing zone air, and the noise level in workplaces were also done. The readings suggested that most exposur...

A graphene oxide/hemoglobin (GO/Hb) composite hydrogel was prepared for catalyzing a peroxidatic reaction in organic solvents with high yields, exceptional activity and stability.

This paper describes how exposure to solvents at two large paint making sites was assessed in a study carried out to investigate the possibility of neuropsychological effects resulting from long term exposure to organic solvents. A job exposure matrix was constructed by buildings and year. A detailed plant history was taken and this was used to identify uniform exposure periods during which wor...

Enzymes are highly specific catalysts that typically function in aqueous solvents. However, many enzymes retain their catalytic activities at high concentrations in non-aqueous environments, including neat hydrophilic organic solvents. In fact, enzymes can be used to carry out reactions in organic solvents that are not possible in aqueous systems. Therefore, biocatalysis in homogenous non-aqueo...

Recent extension of mean spherical approximation (MSA) for electrolyte solution has been employed to investigate the non-ideality in Born-free energy of solvation of a rigid, mono-positive ion in binary dipolar mixtures of associating (ethanol–water) and non-associating (dimethylsulfoxide– acetonitrile) solvents. In addition to the dipole moments, the solvent size ratio and ion size have been t...
