A new BODIPY dimer was then obtained from the monomeric unit via Glaser coupling as the most efficient method. These compounds were deposited on FTO-coated glass substrates via spin coating. A thorough characterization of the optical properties, both in solution and in the solid state, was carried out, revealing significant changes depending on the aggregation state of the material. The studied compounds showed no significant solvatochromic effect in absorption but exhibited varying emission intensities depending on the solvent. This is attributed to the interplay of intramolecular and intermolecular charge transfer, as shown by TDDFT calculations. A reaction mechanism for the coordination step involving borinic acid is also proposed, supported by computational data. Additionally, the thermal stability and air resistance were evaluated, showing remarkable stability of the dimer compared to the monomer, confirming it as a strong candidate for applications requiring temperature variations and prolonged exposure to air. Furthermore, a morphological analysis was conducted using AFM, revealing a dendritic surface in the dimer films, which contributed to higher surface roughness. Due to the high stability demonstrated by the new BODIPY dimer, it may be a suitable candidate for its use in optoelectronic devices and other fields of science and technology.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":437,"journal":{"name":"Tetrahedron","volume":"179 ","pages":"Article 134631"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143768438","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This finished drug product is used to control mixed infestations of ectoparasites, nematodes, and cestodes in cats. This topical liquid drug product contains three active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), esafoxolaner, eprinomectin, and praziquantel. The identity of any new unknown peak (above certain threshold) in any given finished product batch must be established to ensure that the unknown peak is correctly estimated against the parent compound (API). As there are three APIs in this product, an incorrect assignment of the origin and identity of any given impurity will cause either overestimation or underestimation of the impurity, including misleading information on safety. Therefore, the chemical structure and the correct origin/source(s) of this unknown peak need to be determined. Although High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (HRMS) provides valuable information for determining the structure of the impurity associated with this peak, its structure cannot be fully established by HRMS data alone. Hence, this impurity peak was isolated and purified from aged finished drug product stability samples by semi-prep HPLC. Its chemical structure was fully elucidated through Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) (<sup>1</sup>H, <sup>13</sup>C, and 2D). The results revealed that the impurity was formed through a cross-reaction between a praziquantel degradant and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), which is used as an antioxidant in the finished drug product. The experimental details and full structure elucidation data and related information of this unexpected new degradation product peak is reported in this paper. The mechanism of formation of this impurity is proposed based on its positively identified chemical structure. Based on an extensive literature search, it can be concluded that this is the first known report on the definitive identification of the chemical structure and formation mechanisms of this impurity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":437,"journal":{"name":"Tetrahedron","volume":"178 ","pages":"Article 134623"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143704605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
