Polysorbate 80 (PS80) quantification in biopharmaceutical products has always been challenging owing to its minute content, absorption to the protein backbone, lack of specific chromophoric PS80 groups, and heterogenic nature. This work is aimed at developing an express method for PS80 analysis in biopharmaceutical products using hydrolysis and subsequent highperformance liquid chromatography analysis with ultraviolet detection that does not consume substantial amounts of sample (≥35 μL).Methods. Five therapeutic protein formulations were chosen as model proteins. Alkaline hydrolysis formulation was applied, without protein precipitation and with a range of precipitation techniques to remove protein from the test solution and hydrolyze PS80, to free fatty acids. The obtained hydrolysate was analyzed using reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography.Results. As a result of the high protein content of monoclonal antibody formulations, preliminary protein removal was required, which was achieved by precipitation with organic solvents. A specific precipitant ethanol–isopropanol mixture (1:1 volumetric ratio) was developed to efficiently remove antibodies while keeping PS80 in the solution. The PS80 quantification method was developed for monoclonal antibody drugs. For three monoclonal antibody drug products (adalimumab, infliximab, and eculizumab), method validation was performed according to the International Council for Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use, the United States Pharmacopeia, and the State Pharmacopeia of the Russian Federation guidelines.Conclusions. The optimal assay conditions for each group of recombinant monoclonal antibody substances were chosen. Protein precipitation with ethanol or ethanol–isopropanol mixtures before hydrolysis was introduced, allowing for a substantial reduction of sample to 35 μL or even less if PS80 content is higher than 0.05 mg/mL. Accelerated hydrolysis (90 min) is preferable to slow hydrolysis (4–18 h). Method validation for protein products such as adalimumab, infliximab, and eculizumab was demonstrated for the first time. Both methods were validated for each drug product. The coefficients of variation for method specificity and high precision were ≤6.0% for 3 analyses. The accuracy of the methods ranged from 96% to 109% for all of the tested drug products.","PeriodicalId":12215,"journal":{"name":"Fine Chemical Technologies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85392258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to create a method for purifying benzene fractions using a modified natural clay-based adsorbent, which removes both unsaturated and sulfur compounds from benzene or benzene fractions obtained by pyrolysis of petrochemical raw materials.Methods.

The functional characteristics of the adsorbents (moisture resistance and bulk density) were evaluated by strength tests after wetting with water and by weighing batches of the adsorbents fixed in volume.Results. Three clay-based adsorbent samples were developed, and tested under laboratory conditions.

The study aimed to develop new methods for the synthesis of cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4), which is a precursor for the synthesis of CoFe2O4-based functional materials, as well as to study the physicochemical properties of the obtained phases.Methods. Two methods were used for the synthesis of CoFe2O4: (1) heterophase interaction of hydrated iron oxide with cobalt(II, III) oxide and (2) heterophase interaction of hydrated iron oxide with an aqueous solution of cobalt(II) sulfate (CCo = 0.147 mol/L, solid/liquid = 1:43). In both cases, the precursor was hydrated iron oxide (Fe2O3, 84.4 wt %), which was obtained by the heterophase interaction of iron(III) chloride with a concentrated ammonia solution (6.0–9.5 mol/L). The resulting intermediate products were subjected to thermal treatment at 750 °C (synthesis 1) and at 900 °C (synthesis 2) for 10–30 h in increments of 10 h. The synthesized phases and products of their thermolysis were studied by differential thermal analysis and differential thermogravimetry (DTA–DTG), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRDA), and granulometry.Results. The hydrated iron oxide sample remained amorphous even up to the crystallization temperature of 445 °C, which corresponds to the exothermic effect on the DTA curve. Further heating led to the α-modification of iron(III) oxide of the hexagonal system (a = b = 5.037 ± 0.002 Å; c = 13.74 ± 0.01 Å), which has an average particle size of 1.1 μm. XRDA results showed that a synthesis temperature of 750 °C (synthesis 1) and a heat treatment duration of 30 h were sufficient for the formation of a single-phase cobalt ferrite (a = 8.388 ± 0.002 Å) with an average particle diameter of 1.9 μm. For synthesis 2, a higher temperature of 900 °C was used because sample weight loss (about 12.5%) was observed in the temperature range of 720–810 °C based on the DTA results, which was due to the removal of SO2 and SO3. Moreover, when synthesis temperature and duration were at 900 °C and 30 h, respectively, CoFe2O4 with a = 8.389 ± 0.002 Å was formed. The results of the granulometric analysis showed that particles of different diameters were formed. The smallest particle size (1.5 μm) of cobalt ferrite was obtained by the heterophase interaction of hydrated iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3, 84.4 wt %) with an aqueous solution of cobalt sulfate with CCo = 0.147 mol/L. Conclusions. Depending on the method used for the synthesis of cobalt ferrite, particles of different diameters are formed. The smallest particle size of cobalt ferrite was obtained from the heterophase interaction of hydrated iron(III) oxide with an aqueous solution of cobalt(II) sulfate.","PeriodicalId":12215,"journal":{"name":"Fine Chemical Technologies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78430974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study mathematically describes the mutual influence of micro- and macrostages of the process of destruction of polymer materials and determines its main parameters and limiting characteristics. In addition, a relationship is established between molecular constants characterizing the structure of a material and those characterizing its macroscopic characteristics of strength. Finally, theoretical representations of the thermokinetics of the process of thermal destruction of polymer fibers from the standpoint of the kinetic thermofluctuation concept are developed, which makes it possible to predict the thermal durability of a sample under thermal loading.Methods. The structural–kinetic thermofluctuation theory was used to describe the initial stages of the fracture process and to derive a generalized formula for the rate of crack growth. The mathematical theory of cracks is used to describe the thermally stressed state of a material in the vicinity of an internal circular crack under mechanical and thermal loadings of the sample.Results. A theoretical formula for the full isotherm of durability in the range of mechanical stresses from safe to critical, as well as a theoretical relationship for the time dependence of the strength of polymer fibers under purely thermal loading in the full range of heat loads from safe to critical and at the stage of nonthermal crack growth, is given. The main parameters and limiting characteristics of durability under thermal loading are also indicated.Conclusions. A generalized structural–kinetic theory of the fracture of polymer fibers under purely thermal action on cracked specimens is presented. The developed theory combines three independent approaches: structural–kinetic (thermofluctuation theory), mechanical, and thermodynamic. The obtained theoretical relations are of practical interest for the development of methods for localization, intensification, and control of the crack growth kinetics.","PeriodicalId":12215,"journal":{"name":"Fine Chemical Technologies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78472587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To evaluate the effect of cellular genes FLT4, Nup98, and Nup205 on the reproduction of the influenza A virus in A549 human lung cancer cell line.Methods. The work was carried out using the equipment of the center for collective use of the I.I. Mechnikov Research Institute of Vaccines and Sera (Russia). The virus-containing fluid was collected within three days from the moment of transfection and infection and the intensity of viral reproduction was assessed by viral titration and hemagglutination reaction. The viral RNA concentration was determined by real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). To calculate statistically significant differences between groups, the nonparametric Mann–Whitney test was used.Results. In cells treated with small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) targeted at FLT4, Nup98, and Nup205 genes, a significant decrease in their expression and indicators of viral reproduction (virus titer, hemagglutinating activity, viral RNA concentration) was observed at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) = 0.1. Additionally, it was found that a decrease in the expression of target genes using siRNA does not lead to a significant decrease in cell survival. The viral titer in cells treated with siRNA FLT4.2, Nup98.1, and Nup205 on the first day was lower by an average of 1.0 lg, and on the second and third days, by 2.2–2.3 lg, compared to cells treated with nonspecific siRNA. During real-time RT-PCR, a significant decrease in the concentration of viral RNA was observed with siRNA Nup98.1 (up to 190 times) and Nup205 (up to 30 times) on the first day, 26 and 29 times on the second day, and 6 and 30 times on the third day, respectively. For FLT4.2 siRNA, the number of viral RNA copies decreased by 23, 18, and 16 times on the first, second, and third days. Similar results were obtained when determining the hemagglutinating activity of the virus. The hemagglutinating activity on the third day most strongly decreased in cells treated with siRNA Nup205 and FLT4.2 (16 times). In cells treated with siRNA FLT4.1, Nup98.1, and Nup98.2, hemagglutinating activity decreased by 8 times.Conclusions. In the present study, three cellular genes (FLT4, Nup98, and Nup205) were identified—the decrease in the expression of which effectively suppresses viral reproduction— and the original siRNA sequences were obtained. The results obtained are important for creating therapeutic and prophylactic medication, whose action is based on the RNA interference mechanism.","PeriodicalId":12215,"journal":{"name":"Fine Chemical Technologies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76594634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To create stable artificial polymer suspensions with a positive charge of particles based on polycarbonate and polymethyl methacrylate using cationic surfactants and organosilicon surfactants.Methods. The size of droplets and polymer suspension particles was determined by photon correlation spectroscopy (dynamic light scattering) using a Zetasizer NanoZS laser particle analyzer (Malvern, UK).Results. Domestic cationic surfactants Katamin-AB and Azol-129 were found to be capable of producing stable artificial polycarbonate and polymethyl methacrylate suspensions. Based on the polymer, the optimal surfactant concentration was 6 wt %. The effect of polymer concentration in solution on the stability and particle size of final polymer suspensions was shown. It was determined that the polymer concentration in the solution should not exceed 10%. When obtaining a highly dispersed suspension during dispersion, a higher concentration causes an increase in the viscosity of emulsions. As a result of a synergistic effect formation, we used mixtures of cationic surfactants (Katamin-AB/Azol-138 and Azol-129/Azol-138) to enhance the stability of the final polymer suspensions. The optimal surfactant ratio was 9:1. The total concentration of the mixture is 10 wt %, based on the polymer.

New methods of producing artificial polycarbonate and polymethyl methacrylate suspensions in the presence of domestically produced cationic surfactants, as well cationicorganosilicon surfactants mixtures, were proposed.

The purpose of the paper is to compare the adequacy of mathematical models of vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) and their ability to reproduce the phase behavior of the ternary system benzene–cyclohexane–chlorobenzene using different experimental data sets to evaluate binary interaction parameters.Methods. The research methodologies were mathematical modeling of VLE in the Aspen Plus V.10.0 software package using activity coefficient models (Non-Random Two-Liquid (NRTL), Wilson) and the Universal quasichemical Functional-group Activity Coefficients (UNIFAC) group model, which allows for independent information. For the benzene–cyclohexane–chlorobenzene ternary system, the use of the NRTL equation is warranted because it provides a better description of the VLE experimental data.Results. The diagram construction of the constant volatility of cyclohexane relative to benzene lines revealed three topological structures. Only one of them can be considered reliable because it corresponds to the experimental data and coincides with the UNIFAC model diagram constructed based on independent UNIFAC model data. The results indicate that to study systems containing components with similar properties, it is necessary to improve the description quality of the available data sets (the relative error should not exceed 1.5%).Conclusions. The reproduction of the thermodynamic features of various manifolds in the composition simplex obtained by processing direct VLE data can be used to supplement the adequacy of the model. For the cyclohexane–benzene–chlorobenzene system, the best NRTL equation parameters are those regressed from the extensive experimental VLE data available in the literature for the ternary system as a whole.","PeriodicalId":12215,"journal":{"name":"Fine Chemical Technologies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81160124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
