transfusion-dependent patients such as those suffering from β-thalassaemia develop a fatal secondary haemosiderosis and consequently a selective iron chelator must be used to relieve such iron overload. 3- hydroxypyridin-4-ones are selective for iron(iii) under most biological conditions, but unlike desferrioxamine, are efficiently absorbed when administered orally. in this study, the synthesis...

iron overload is a serious clinical condition which can be largely prevented by the use of iron-specific chelating agents. in this study, the synthesis and determination of partition coefficients (kpart) of a range of n-alkyl hydroxypyridinones, as orally active iron chelators, are described. synthesis of n-aryl hydroxypyridinones was achieved via a single step synthetic pathway. in this method...

the distribution behavior of ofloxacin enantiomers was examined in the aqueous and organic solvent of a two-phase system containing chiral selector l-tartarate. the effect of extraction equilibrium time, buffer ph, organic solvents and length of alkyl chain of l-tartarate on the partition coefficients and enantioselectivity of racemic ofloxacin were investigated, respectively. the l-tartarate f...

the partition coefficients (p-values) of certain new potential, stereoselective, reversible, long-acting local anesthetics have been determined in an n-octanol/ phosphate buffer system. these are derivatives of 2-phenoxyethyldialkylamine hydrochloride, and almost all of them are readily soluble in water. their aqueous solutions have shown different absorption maxima, and these have been used qu...

Because the partition coefficient is one of the most important parameters affecting microsegregation, the aim of this research is to experimentally analyse the partition coefficient in Al-Mg alloys. In order to experimentally measure the partition coefficient, a series of quenching experiments during solidification were carried out. For this purpose binary Al-Mg alloys containing 6.7 and 10.2 w...
