Platelets are considered the most important participants in both the normal and pathological thrombotic processes characteristic of a variety of diseases and conditions. Alterations in various limbs of haemostasis are found in many somatic diseases (atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, stroke), surgical procedures, oncological and immunological diseases. Inflammation underlies most diseases and remains an urgent problem in medicine. In the leukocyte infiltration of the inflammatory focus, the mechanism of its self-preservation is of great importance. The activation of haematopoiesis during inflammation is triggered by factors released by stimulated leukocytes of the focus and peripheral blood. Therefore, the problem of the state of the haemostasis system should be the focus of constant attention of clinicians, and with the help of laboratory monitoring of the state of the haemostasis system, it is possible to carry out drug correction of the haemocoagulation potential.","PeriodicalId":42056,"journal":{"name":"French-Ukrainian Journal of Chemistry","volume":"75 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67432910","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}

The corrosion inhibiting effect of poly(sodium-4-styrenesulfonate) on carbon steel in phosphoric acid solution has been investigated using weight loss and scanning electron microscopy techniques (SEM) and theoretical calculations based on density functional theory (DFT). In the presence of 1.0×10-3 mol/L of inhibitor, a maximum inhibition effect of 98.06 % was observed. The influence of the concentration of the inhibitor, the temperature of the solution and the immersion time on the corrosion of carbon steel was investigated. Activation parameters such as activation energy (Eact), activation enthalpy (ΔHact), activation entropy (ΔSact), heat of adsorption (Qads) and adsorption free energy (ΔGads) were evaluated based on the effect of temperature on the corrosion and inhibition processes. It was found that the adsorption behaviour of poly(sodium-4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) follows the Langmuir isotherm and the free energy change values indicate mixed chemical and physical adsorption on the carbon steel surface. The results obtained with the different methods agree well.","PeriodicalId":42056,"journal":{"name":"French-Ukrainian Journal of Chemistry","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67433322","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}

We have also shown interest in the choice of removal method, which is adsorption. The kinetic study of the removal of phosphate ions by adsorption on calcium oxide allowed us to calculate the value of adsorption capacity as a function of the parameters affecting adsorption: Amount of adsorbent, initial concentration of phosphate ion solution, pH of the mixture and temperature. The study of adsorption isotherms showed that the Freundlich model is the most appropriate for the phenomenon of phosphate ion adsorption. Modeling of the kinetic data by the pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order equations shows that the adsorption process is best described by the second order equation. Thermodynamic parameters such as enthalpy ΔH°, entropy ΔS° and free enthalpy ΔG° were also evaluated to determine the nature of adsorption. The results show that the adsorption process is a spontaneous and endothermic physisorption.","PeriodicalId":42056,"journal":{"name":"French-Ukrainian Journal of Chemistry","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67432694","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}

The pandemic caused by novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), also called as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2); first emerged in Wuhan city, Hubei province of China in December 2019. The rapid human to human transmission has caused the contagion to spread world-wide affecting 244,385,444 (244.4 million) people globally causing 4,961,489 (5 million) fatalities dated by 27 October 2021. At present, 6,697,607,393 (6.7 billion) vaccine doses have been administered dated by 27 October 2021, for the prevention of COVID-19 infections. Even so, this critical and threatening situation of pandemic and due to various variants’ emergence, the pandemic control has become challenging; this calls for gigantic efforts to find new potent drug candidates and effective therapeutic approaches against the virulent respiratory disease of COVID-19. In the respiratory morbidities of COVID-19, the functionally crucial drug target for the antiviral treatment could be the main protease/3-chymotrypsin protease (Mpro/3CLpro) enzyme that is primarily involved in viral maturation and replication. In view of this, in the current study I have designed a library of small molecules against the main protease (Mpro) of coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (2019-nCoV) by using multimodal generative neural-networks. The scaffold-based molecular docking of the series of compounds at the active site of the protein was performed; binding poses of the molecules were evaluated and protein-ligand interaction studies followed by the binding affinity calculations validated the findings. I have identified a number of small promising lead compounds that could serve as potential inhibitors of the main protease (Mpro) enzyme of coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (2019-nCoV). This study would serve as a step forward in the development of effective antiviral therapeutic agents against the COVID-19.","PeriodicalId":42056,"journal":{"name":"French-Ukrainian Journal of Chemistry","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67432789","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}
