Vliv požití ethanolu na tvorbu ethylesterů mastných kyselin pro účely průkaznosti zbytkového alkoholu v krvi / The Effect of Consumption of Ethanol on Formation of Fatty Acid Ethyl Esters for the Purposes of Detection of Residual Alcohol in Blood

Strachoňová, Jana January 2009 (has links)
Blood ethanol is a widely accepted marker for recent ethanol intake (within the last 4-6 h). However, the rapid elimination of ethanol from the body nearly always makes it impossible to assess ethanol ingestion beyond the most recent 6-8h. But serum fatty acid ethyl ester (FAEE) is detectable in the blood both when ethanol is presented and long after ethanol has been removed from the circulation. For this FAEE should be better marker for prior ethanol intake.

Avaliação farmacocinética do éster etílico de indometacina nanoencapsulado e da indometacina formada in vivo / Pharmacokinetic evaluation of the indomethacin ethyl ester nanoencapsulated and of the indomethacin formed in vivo

Cattani, Vitória Berg January 2007 (has links)
Objetivos: Avaliar a farmacocinética do éster etílico de indometacina (IndOEt) em ratos Wistar, após sua administração oral (p.o) e intravenosa (i.v.) nas formas livre ou nanoencapsulada, e monitorar a formação de indometacina (IndOH) in vivo. Metodologia: Os protocolos experimentais foram aprovados pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da UFRGS (2005478). Nanocápsulas (NC) contendo IndOEt (IndOEt- NC) foram administradas p.o. (10 mg/kg) e i.v. bolus (5 mg/kg) a ratos machos Wistar (n = 5 a 7/grupo) e as concentrações plasmáticas de IndOEt e IndOH resultantes foram determinadas por CLAE com detecção por UV, empregando-se metodologia validada. Os grupos controle foram tratados com suspensão aquosa de IndOEt (10 mg/kg), com ou sem polissorbato 80, ou com IndOH pelas vias i.v. ou p.o. (10 mg/kg) (n = 7 a 11/grupo). Os perfis plasmáticos individuais foram avaliados por abordagem não-compartimental e compartimental utilizando os softwares Excel® 2003 e Scientist® 2.01, respectivamente, para a determinação dos parâmetros farmacocinéticos, que foram comparados estatisticamente utilizando-se teste “t” de Student ou ANOVA (α = 0,05). A avaliação do local de absorção p.o. de IndOEt-NC foi realizada pela quantificação de IndOEt e IndOH no plasma periférico e da veia porta, homogeneizado de fígado e de parede, bem como conteúdo, de porções do intestino delgado (n= 4/tempo) após a administração oral da formulação. Resultados e Discussão: Após a administração de IndOEt-NC por ambas as vias, apenas a IndOH foi detectada, indicando uma rápida hidrólise do éster. Em todos os casos, o IndOEt não alterou os parâmetros farmacocinéticos da IndOH, exceto a biodisponibilidade. Os perfis plasmáticos de IndOH i.v. foram descritos pelo modelo de 2 compartimentos, e os orais, pelo de 1 compartimento com absorção de primeira ordem. A avaliação da absorção oral de IndOEt-NC evidenciou que o IndOEt é, provavelmente, liberado e hidrolisado ainda na luz do trato gastrintestinal, sendo a IndOH formada in vivo e absorvida. Conclusões: O IndOEt nanoencapsulado ou não, quando administrado pelas vias oral e i.v., é rapidamente convertido a IndOH. A IndOH é, portanto, responsável pela atividade antiedematogênica relatada para o IndOEt-NC. / Objective: To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of either nanoencapsulated (NC) or free indomethacin ethyl ester (IndOEt) after intravenous (i.v.) and oral (p.o.) administration to Wistar rats and to determine the pharmacokinetics of indomethacin (IndOH) formation. Methodology: Animal experiments were approved by UFRGS Ethics in Research Committee (# 2005478). The pharmacokinetics was investigated in male Wistar rats after oral and i.v. administration of IndOEt-NC (10 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg, respectively) (n = 5-7/group) and IndOEt and IndOH plasma concentrations were determined by a validated HPLC with UV detection method. The control groups were treated with IndOEt aqueous suspension (10 mg/kg p.o.) or with IndOH aqueous suspension by the p.o. or i.v. routes (10 mg/kg) (n = 7 -11/group). Noncompartmental and compartmental approaches were used for individual profiles analysis using Excel® 2003 or Scientist® 2.01 softwares, respectively. The site of IndOEt-NC oral absorption was investigated in peripheral and portal vein plasma, hepatic tissue, intestine epithelia, and lumen content (n = 4/time). Results and Discussion: After IndOEt administration by both routes, only IndOH was detected in plasma, suggesting a fast hydrolysis of the ester. The IndOH parameters after administration of IndOEt and IndOH were similar, except for the bioavailability. The pharmacokinetic parameters of IndOH were modeled by two compartment open model after i.v. dosing and by one compartment with first order absorption after oral administration. After oral administration, IndOEt-NC was converted in IndOH in the gastrointestinal tract and then absorbed as such. Conclusions: After i.v. and oral administration, either IndOEt-NC or the free drug is quickly converted in IndOH. After oral administration, IndOEt-NC is released and hydrolyzed to IndOH following its absorption at the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, the IndOH is responsible for antiendematogenic activity reported for IndOEt-NC.

Mise en œuvre des lipases végétales issues des graines dans la catalyse enzymatique d’esters éthyliques d’huiles végétales pour la production de biodiesel / Use of plant lipases from seeds for enzymatic catalysis of ethyl esters of vegetable oils for the production of biodiesel

Kouteu Nanssou, Paul 31 May 2017 (has links)
Les lipases présentent un grand intérêt pour la synthèse du Biodiesel, carburant alternatif au gasoil, généralement obtenu d’une transestérification des triacylglycérols avec un alcool, la plupart du temps le méthanol. Pour avoir un ester issu totalement de la biomasse végétale, l’éthanol peut être utilisé comme accepteur d’acyle. L’objectif de cette étude est de développer des procédés enzymatiques de synthèses d’esters éthyliques catalysés par les lipases végétales sous leur forme brute avec des intrants (huile et alcool) d’origine végétale. D’abord, elle a consisté à la mise en évidence d’une activité lipasique pour des réactions d’éthanolyse et d’hydrolyse par les graines d’A. suarezensis, d’A. grandidieri, de J. curcas, de J. mahafalensis, de M. oleifera et de M. drouhardii. Ensuite, les influences de certains facteurs sur la capacité des extraits le(s) plus actif(s) à réaliser des réactions d’éthanolyse en milieux non aqueux, aqueux et en utilisant comme substrat leurs lipides natifs ont été étudiées. Enfin, des essais de combustion ont été menés sur un moteur monocylindre à injection directe pour l’étude des performances, des émissions et de la combustion du biodiesel produit et de ses mélanges avec le gasoil. Toutes les graines germées sont dotées d’une activité en hydrolyse et éthanolyse. La poudre d’A. grandidieri est la plus active en éthanolyse. Avec cette dernière, deux procédés ont pu être développés : un en milieu non aqueux et un en milieu aqueux (respectivement un rendement de 96,2 % et 96,3 %). Elle est aussi capable de transformer ses lipides natifs sans extraction au préalable en esters éthyliques (rendement de 91,6%). Les performances et la combustion du biodiesel et de ses mélanges sont similaires à celle du gasoil. Une réduction significative des émissions de CO, NOX, CO2 et SO2 au cours de la combustion du biodiesel et de ses mélanges est observée. Ces résultats montrent que les lipases végétales exploitées sous leurs formes brutes peuvent être une alternative aux lipases microbiennes et aux catalyseurs chimiques. / There is a great interest in the use of lipase in the production of Biodiesel, alternative diesel fuel, usually obtained from a transesterification of triacylglycerol with an alcohol which is mostly methanol. To have a biodiesel derived totally from vegetable biomass, ethanol must be explored as acyl acceptor. The objective of this work is to develop enzymatic processes for the synthesis of ethyl esters catalyzed by plant lipases in their crude form with all inputs (oil and alcohol) of origin plant. Firstly, the hydrolysis and ethanolysis activities of A. suarezensis, A. grandidieri, J. curcas, J. mahafalensis, M. oleifera and M. drouhardii seeds were assessed. Subsequently, the most active(s) plant lipase(s) was selected to study the effects of some factors on their ability to carry out ethanolysis reactions in nonaqueous, aqueous media and using as substrate their lipids. Finally, combustion tests were carried out on a single cylinder direct injection engine to study the performance, emissions and combustion of biodiesel and its mixture with diesel. All germinated seeds have hydrolysis and ethanolysis activity. The most active in ethanolysis is the powder from A. grandidieri seed. With this powder, two processes were developed: one in nonaquous medium and the other in aqueous medium (yield of 96.2 % and 96.3 %, respectively). Lipase from A. grandidieri seed is able to transesterify its oils without an extraction thereof into ethyl ester. Performance and combustion characteristics of biodiesel and its mixtures are similar to that of diesel fuel. A significant reduction in CO, NOX, CO2 and SO2 emissions during the combustion of biodiesel and its mixtures is observed. These results show that plant lipases exploited in their crude form can be an alternative to microbial lipases and chemical catalysts.

Transesterificação química e enzimática de miscela etanólica de óleo de soja / Chemical and enzymatic transesterification of soybean oil ethanolic miscellae

Sangaletti, Naiane 11 May 2012 (has links)
A matéria-prima na produção de biodiesel corresponde a mais que 70% do seu custo e o estudo de viabilidade tecnológica e econômica das diferentes matérias-primas se reveste de enorme importância. A extração do óleo de soja com solvente etanol resulta em duas miscelas, uma rica em óleo (miscela rica) e outra rica em etanol (miscela pobre). A miscela pobre pode ser reutilizada no processo de extração e a miscela rica pode ser utilizada diretamente sem a necessidade de dessolventização e de etapas de refino. A miscela rica em óleo foi esterificada por dois processos diferentes: químico e enzimático, com diferentes concentrações em razão molar (óleo:etanol), diferentes temperaturas e catalisadores básico (NaOH) ou enzimático (Novozym®435), buscando o maior rendimento em ésteres etilícos. O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar o rendimento de ésteres etílicos aplicando enzimas imobilizadas Novozym®435 e um catalisador básico (NaOH) e analisar a viabilidade energética da produção de biodiesel a partir da transesterificação da miscela rica (óleo:etanol) em óleo de soja, sem necessidade de refino do óleo. Foi adotado o planejamento experimental e análise de superfícies de resposta para a seleção das melhores condições de processo, tendo como variáveis respostas o rendimento e a qualidade do biodiesel. Foram realizados ensaios de esterificação via enzimática e química. A reutilização da enzima foi estudada através da lavagem com diferentes solventes (etanol 96%, isopropanol e terc-butanol) e reações de transesterificação na presença do co-solvente terc-butanol. A produção de ésteres em miscelas permitiu a comparação dos custos entre o processo de catálise enzimática e catálise química com base na análise dos fluxos de materiais e energia. A miscela rica foi obtida após três banhos com miscela pobre e um último banho com etanol 99% (v/v), apresentando eficiência de 83% e um teor de óleo residual no farelo de 4,2%. Em sua composição, a miscela rica apresentou 90% em óleo de soja e até 7% de etanol. A transesterificação de miscela rica com catalisador NaOH foi otimizada e apresentou rendimento de ésteres etílicos (RE) 97,2% nas condições experimentais de: razão molar 1:12, concentração de catalisador 0,67% e temperatura de 30ºC. Na transesterificação enzimática, o rendimento máximo foi de 85% nas condições reacionais de razão molar 1:4,5, concentração de catalisador 9,5% e temperatura de 40ºC. A Novozym®435 não foi recuperada com sucessivas lavagens dos solventes. Entretanto, o terc-butanol como co-solvente aumentou o rendimento de ésteres para 94%. A análise dos fluxos de energia demonstrou que o a obtenção da matéria-prima (laminação e extração) foi a etapa que mais demandou energia. A produção de miscela rica em escala semi-piloto demandou mais energia que a de óleo refinado, porém, a etapa de transesterificação a partir de miscela rica, utilizando o catalisador químico, demandou menos energia comparada ao processo com catalisador enzimático e o convencional com metanol e etanol. A esterificação de miscela rica é energeticamente viável, entretanto, com um scale up adequado, a etapa de extração com etanol deve ser ajustada para viabilizar energeticamente a cadeia de produção de biodiesel por esta via alternativa. / The feedstock for biodiesel production represents more than 70% of the cost and technological and economic feasibility studies of different oil sources are of enormous importance. The extraction of soybean oil with ethanol solvent results in two miscella, one rich in oil (rich miscellae) and another rich in ethanol (poor miscellae). The poor miscellae can be reused in the extraction process and the rich miscellae can be used directly without dessolventizing and refining stages. The oil rich miscellae was esterified by two different processes: chemical and enzymatic, with different concentrations in the molar ratio (oil: ethanol), different temperatures and either basic catalyst (NaOH) or an enzyme (Novozym®435), searching for the highest production of ethyl esters. The study goal was to prove the feasibility of producing biodiesel from the transesterification of rich miscellae (oilethanol) in soybean oil, without oil refining and evaluating the performance of ethyl esters by applying immobilized enzymes Novozym®435 and a basic catalyst (NaOH). We adopted the experimental design and the surface response methodology for the best selection of process conditions, with the response variables the yield and the quality of biodiesel. Chemical and enzymatic esterification trials were conducted. The reuse of enzyme was studied by washing with different solvents (96% ethanol, isopropanol and tert-butanol) and the transesterification reaction in the presence of the co-solvent tert-butanol. The production of esters by enzymes in the miscellae allowed a comparison of the costs between the enzymatic and chemical catalysis process based on the energy flow analysis. The rich miscellae was obtained after three baths employing the poor miscellae and a last fourth bath with ethanol 99% (v/v), presenting efficiency of 83% and a residual meal oil content of 4.2%. In its composition, the rich miscellae showed 90% of soybean oil and up to 7% ethanol. The transesterification of the rich miscellae with NaOH catalyst was optimized and had a ethyl esters yield (RE) of 97.2% under the experimental conditions of: 1:12 molar ratio, catalyst concentration 0.67% and temperature 30° C. For the enzymatic transesterification, the maximum yield was 85% for the reaction conditions: molar ratio 1:4.5, catalyst concentration 9.5% and temperature 40° C. Novozym®435 was not recovered with successive washes of the solvents. However, the tertbutanol as a co-solvent increased the yield of esters to 94%. The energy flow analysis showed that obtaining the raw material (flaking and extraction) was the most energy demanding. The rich miscellae from the semi-pilot plant demanded more energy than the refined oil, however, the transesterification of the rich miscellae using chemical catalyst, required less energy compared to the enzymatic catalysis and the conventional process methanol and ethanol. The esterification of rich miscellae is feasible energetically, however, the extraction step with ethanol should be adjusted to enable energetically the chain of biodiesel production.

PrediÃÃo das propriedades fÃsico-quÃmicas do Ãster etÃlico do Ãleo de mamona (EEOM) / Prediction of physicochemical properties of the ethyl ester of castor oil

Fabiano da Silva Matoso 26 August 2013 (has links)
Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento CientÃfico e TecnolÃgico / As propriedades fÃsico-quÃmicas do Ãster EtÃlico do Ãleo de Mamona (EEOM) foram estimadas a partir de modelos teÃricos e anÃlises experimentais. Por nÃo ser um combustÃvel comercial, o EEOM foi manufaturado por meio de um processo de fabricaÃÃo denominado (Transesterification Double Step Process) TDPS. AtravÃs do mÃtodo de contribuiÃÃo de grupos, as propriedades crÃticas e o ponto de ebuliÃÃo normal foram estimados. Utilizando os valores das propriedades crÃticas e correlaÃÃes matemÃticas, estimaram-se a tensÃo superficial, a entalpia de vaporizaÃÃo, a pressÃo de vapor, a condutividade tÃrmica, a viscosidade e a densidade. A anÃlise experimental do EEOM foi conduzida utilizando tÃcnicas tradicionalmente associadas à pesquisa de densidade e viscosidade de combustÃveis. Na anÃlise experimental de viscosidade utilizou-se um viscosÃmetro copo Ford. TambÃm foram analisadas experimentalmente as misturas ternÃrias do EEOM, etanol e diesel comercial em diversas fraÃÃes volumÃtricas. A anÃlise das misturas ternÃrias vem como uma alternativa para amenizar os valores de viscosidade e densidade do EEOM no combustÃvel de uso final, estimando os valores de fraÃÃes volumÃtricas que podem atender as normas brasileiras e europeias. Os resultados das propriedades fÃsico-quÃmicas servirÃo como base para rotinas computacionais de simulaÃÃo aplicadas ao estudo de emissÃes de poluentes e formaÃÃo do jato combustÃvel para o EEOM. / The physicochemical properties of the Ethyl Ester of Castor Oil (EECO) were estimated from theoretical models and experimental analysis. As it is not a comercial fuel, the EECO has been manufactured by a special fabrication process denominated (Transesterification Double Step Process) TDPS. Through the group contribution method, critical properties and normal boiling point were estimated. Using the values of the critical properties and mathematical correlations, were surface tension, enthalpy vaporization, vapor pressure, thermal conductivity, viscosity and density estimated. The experimental analysis of EEOM was conducted using techniques traditionally associated with research of density and viscosity of fuel. In the experimental analysis of viscosity it was used a Ford cup viscometer. As an alternative to alleviate the values of viscosity and density of the fuel EECO in ultimate use, as well as analyzed mixtures EECO, ethanol and diesel trade in various volume fractions, estimating the values that can meet the Brazilian and European standards. The results of the physical and chemical properties will serve as a basis for computer simulation routines applied to the study of emissions and formation of jet fuel for EECO.
