Effects of diclofenac on EPC liposome membrane properties

In this work the interaction of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), diclofenac, with egg yolk phosphatidylcoline (EPC) liposomes, used as cell-membrane models, was quantified by determination of the partition coefficient. The liposome/aqueous phase partition coefficient was determined by derivative spectrophotometry, fluorescence quenching, and measurement of zeta-potential. Theoretical models based on simple partition of the diclofenac between two different media, were used to fit the experimental data, enabling the determination of K_p. The three techniques used yielded similar results. The effects of the interaction on the membranes characteristics were further evaluated, either by studying membrane potential changes or by effects on membrane fluidity. The liposome membrane potential and the size and size-homogeneity of liposomes were measured by light scattering. The effects of diclofenac on the internal viscosity or fluidity of the membrane were determined by use of spectroscopic probes—a series of n-(9-anthroyloxy) fatty acids in which the carboxyl terminal group is located at the interfacial region of the membrane and the fluorescent anthracene group is attached at different positions along the fatty acid chain. The location of the diclofenac on the membrane was also evaluated, by fluorescence quenching using the same series of fluorescent probes. Because the fluorescent anthracene group is attached at different positions along the fatty acid chain, it is possible to label at a graded series of depths in the bilayer. The interactions between the drug and the probe are a means of predicting the location of the drug on the membrane.

The characteristics,performance and application of membrane electrode based on ion associate of diclofenac with base dye Safranine T are described.The electrode response to diclofenac has the sensitivity of 47±1.0 mV decade~(-1)over the range of 5×10~(-5)to 5×10~(-2)mol/L at pH 6-12,and the detection limit of 3.2×10~(-5)mol/L.The electrode is easy assembled at a relatively low cost has fast response time(2-4 s)and can be used for a period up to 3.5 months without any considerable divergence in potential.The proposed sensor displayed good selectivity for diclofenac in the presence of different substances.It was used to determine diclofenac in pharmaceuticals by means of the standard addition method.     

Application of a chemometric method for simultaneous determination of acetaminophen and diclofenac in content-uniformity and drug-dissolution studies

A new, repeatable, and rapid method has been developed for resolution of binary mixtures of acetaminophen and diclofenac with minimum sample pretreatment and without separation of the analytes. The method, based on the PLS1 processing of absorbance data in the UV region, was successfully used for quantification of the drug content of three tablet preparations. The results obtained were in good agreement with HPLC recovery data. The method also enabled determination of drug-dissolution profiles of these commercial tablets, by simultaneous determination of both analytes during the dissolution test.     

Electrolyte system strategies for anionic isotachophoresis with electrospray‐ionization mass‐spectrometric detection. 1. Regular isotachophoresis and free‐acid isotachophoresis

The subject of this work is the definition of a simple model based on general ITP theory that allows describing and predicting the behavior of ITP systems compatible with ESI‐MS detection. The model is exemplified by anionic ITP of weak acids that represent an interesting potential application field of ITP‐ESI‐MS. Suitable ESI‐compatible electrolyte systems of very simple composition are proposed including a special free‐acid ITP arrangement. The properties of these systems are discussed using illustrative diagrams of their stacking windows. The use of anionic ITP‐ESI‐MS in negative‐ion ESI mode is reported for the first time and its suitability for sensitive trace analysis is demonstrated. The presented ITP‐ESI‐MS application example comprises a free‐acid ITP system formed of formic and propionic acids and direct injection analysis of ibuprofen and diclofenac in waters with quantitation limits of the order 10^?10 M.     

Electrochemical Behavior and Voltammetric Determination of Diclofenac at a Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube-Ionic Liquid Composite Modified Carbon Ceramic Electrode

This work describes the electrochemical behavior of diclofenac on the surface of a carbonceramic electrode (CCE) modified with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and an ionic liquid (IL) composite. The MWCNT-IL composite showed an enhancement effect in the electro-oxidation of diclofenac with respect to a bare carbon ceramic electrode. Based on the experimental outcomes, a possible mechanism for the electro-oxidation of diclofenac is proposed and discussed. Under the optimized experimental conditions, the MWCNT-IL CCE showed a linear response to diclofenac over the concentration range 50 nM–20 µM with a detection limit of 27 nM. The developed diclofenac sensor showed good stability, sensitivity, and reproducibility in the measurement of diclofenac in human blood plasma samples.     

Poly(acrylamidoglycolic acid) nanocomposite hydrogels reinforced with cellulose nanocrystals for pH-sensitive controlled release of diclofenac sodium

In this study, a non-cytotoxic and pH-sensitive poly(acrylamidoglycolic acid) based nanocomposite (PAGA-NC) hydrogels reinforced with cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) was synthesized using redox free radical polymerization. The successful formation and crystalline behaviour of PAGA-NC hydrogels was verified by fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. The results showed that morphological, rheological and mechanical properties of the PAGA-NC hydrogels were strongly influenced by the CNCs content. Moreover, swelling properties were investigated, and the results suggested that they behaved as pH sensitive manner. The in vitro MTT assay showed that the PAGA-NC hydrogels are cytocompatibile to NIH-3T3 fibroblast cells. In addition, diclofenac sodium (DCF) model drug was successfully encapsulated into these PAGA-NC hydrogels via equilibrium swelling method. The in vitro release of DCF from PAGA-NC hydrogels was retained at pH 1.2 and maximum release was observed at 7.4, revealing as potential candidates for controlled release carriers for oral drug delivery applications.

Electrochemically controlled in-tube solid phase microextraction

We report a new in-tube solid phase microextraction approach named electrochemically controlled in-tube solid phase microextraction (EC in-tube SPME). This approach, which combined electrochemistry and in-tube SPME, led to decrease in total analysis time and increase in sensitivity. At first, pyrrole was elctropolymerized on the inner surface of a stainless steel tube. Then, the polypyrrole (PPy)-coated in-tube SPME was coupled on-line to liquid chromatography (HPLC) to achieve automated in-tube SPME–HPLC analysis. After the completion of EC-in-tube SPME–HPLC setup, the PPy-coated tube was used as working electrode for uptake of diclofenac as target analyte. Extraction ability of the tube in presence and in absence of applied electrical field was investigated. It was found that, under the same extraction conditions, the extraction efficiency could be greatly enhanced by using the constant potential. Important factors are also optimized. The detection limit (S/N = 3) and precision were 0.1 μg L⁻¹ and 4.4%, respectively.
