Abstract

The present paper deals with the study of those parameters of butaperazine dihydrogen maleate, the knowledge of which is of importance in planning dosage forms for oral use. The solubility of the free butaperazine base in artificial intestinal juice (2.03 mg / 100 ml) was determined by means of the pKa values (pKa = 3.58 and pKa = 8.14). The total solubility decreases as the pH value of the dissolving medium increases, because the concentration of the base limits the solubility of the drug. Only the base can be distributed between n-heptane and an aqueous phase. The actual distribution coefficients are very high and explain the high solubility in fat. The water-lipid transfer was also estimated quantitatively. The highest velocities of transfer were observed at a pH value somewhat less than 7.0, as it is commonly measured in the small intestine. At pH 8.0, the low solubility of butaperazine became the velocity-limiting factor of the transfer. The velocities of the back transfer suggest that it is not wise to study the distribution behaviour of butaperazine in a three-phase model if the transfer at a buffer pH 7.4 is the centre of interest.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.
