Amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) is a popular method to increase drug solubility and consequently poor drug bioavailability. Cellulose ω-carboxyesters were designed and synthesized specifically for ASD preparations in Edgar lab that can meet the ASD expectations such as high Tg, recrystallization prevention and pH-triggered release due to the free -COOH groups. Rifampicin (Rif), Ritonavir (Rit), Efavirenz (Efa), Etravirine (Etra) and Quercetin (Que) cellulose ester ASDs were investigated in order to increase drug solubility, prevent release at low pH and controlled release of the drug at small intestine pH that can improve drug bioavailability, decrease needed drug content and medication price to make it affordable in third world countries, and extent pill efficiency period to improve patient quality of life and adherence to the treatment schedule. The studies were compared with cellulose based commercial polymers to prove the impact of the investigation and potential for the application. Furthermore, the in vitro results obtained were further supported by in vivo studies to prove the significant increase in bioavailability and show the extended release. The need of new cellulose derivatives for ASD applications extended the research area, the design and synthesis of a new class of polymers, alkyl cellulose ω-carboxyesters for ASD formulations investigated and the efficiency of the polymers were summarized to show that they have the anticipated properties. The polymers were synthesized by the reaction of commercial cellulose alkyl ethers with benzyl ester protected, monofunctional hydrocarbon chain acid chlorides, followed by removal of protecting group using palladium hydroxide catalyzed hydrogenolysis to form the alkyl cellulose wcarboxyalkanoate. Having been tested for ASD preparation, it was proven that the polymers were efficient in maintaining the drug in amorphous solid state, release the drug at neutral pH and prevent the recrystallization for hours, as predicted. / Ph.

Poly(arylene ether sulfone)s (PAES) are important commercial polymers and have been extensively studied due to their excellent thermal and mechanical properties. However, some applications are still limited when good solvent resistance and low thermal expansion coefficient are required. There has been a continuous interest in developing new PAES based on new monomers or polymer modifications to obtain new properties or to enhance existing properties. In this dissertation, the synthesis, characterization and structure-property relationship of new 1,4-cyclohexylene ring containing PAESs were comprehensively studied. Different polymerization techniques were used to synthesize polymers with different segmental lengths. The monomer, 4,4'-[trans-1,4-cyclohexanebis(methylene)] bisphenol (CMB), was synthesized and fully characterized. Based on 4,4′-dihydroxy-p-terphenyl (DHTP), 4,4′-dihydroxybiphenyl (DHBP) and the CMB monomer, homopolymer and random copolymers of PAES were prepared with high molecular weights and high glass transition temperatures. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) on these polymers showed multiple sub-Tg relaxations. A large increase in the ultimate elongation was obtained with the CMB and DHTP containing sample, which could be due to the strong sub-Tg relaxations observed from the DMA results. A series of four acid chloride monomers were synthesized and polymerized with phenol terminated PAES oligomers. Solution polymerization and pseudo-interfacial polymerization techniques were used to prepare both bisphenol-A (bis-A) based and DHBP based PAES oligomers. With the incorporation of the trans-1,4-cyclohexylene units, decreases in the glass transition temperatures were observed from both the bis-A based and the DHBP based polymers. However, melting transitions were only observed in the DHBP based trans-1,4-cyclohexylene containing PAESs. Crystallinity was confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD). A mechanical property study of the high molecular weight trans-1,4-cyclohexylene containing polymer samples showed moderate ultimate elongation enhancements. A series of PAES-polyester multiblock copolymers were synthesized with both solution method and melt polymerization. In the solution method, phenol terminated PAES oligomers and the acid chloride terminated poly(1,4-cyclohexylenedimethylene terephthalate) (PCT) oligomers were presynthesized and coupled in solution. The molecular weights of the polymer products obtained from the solution method were limited by solubility issues. Melt phase polymerization was employed to obtain high molecular weight polymers. Hydroxy ethoxy terminated PAES oligomers were synthesized and polymerized with 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol (CHDM) and dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) in the melt. Polymers with high molecular weights were obtained. Tensile test results suggested that the mechanical properties of these polymers were dominated by the PAES components with polyester contents up to 20 wt%. Melting transitions were observed from polymers with higher polyester contents, and these polymers exhibited limited solubility in common organic solvents. / Ph. D.

Poly(arylene ether sulfone)s with dendritic terminal groups were synthesized by step-growth polymerization of two difunctional monomers in the presence of preformed dendritic end-cappers. These polymers were characterized by NMR, SEC, DSC, TGA, melt rheology and tensile tests. The melt viscosities of these polymers in the high frequency region were lower than the control while the stress-strain properties were comparable to those of the control, suggesting that it is possible to reduce the high shear melt viscosities of this type of polymers without affecting the stress-strain properties by introducing bulky dendritic terminal groups. Poly(arylene ether sulfone)s with hyperbranched terminal groups were also synthesized. These polymers were synthesized by reacting fluoro-terminated poly(arylene ether sulfone) chains with an arylene ether ketone AB2 monomer. The terminal groups of these polymers were capped by tert-butylphenol. The results from NMR and SEC showed that multiple tert-butyl units were successfully introduced onto the polymer chains, suggesting that this synthetic method could be useful for introducing multiple functional groups onto the polymer chain ends in fewer synthetic steps than an analogous method using preformed dendritic end-cappers. It was also demonstrated that multiple sulfonated phenols were attached to the terminal groups of polysulfones by this method. A novel cyclohexyl-containing difunctional monomer was prepared and successfully incorporated into poly(arylene ether sulfone) backbones. These polymers were characterized by NMR, SEC, DSC, TGA, DMA and tensile tests and compared to terephthaloyl analogs. Tensile tests and DMA showed the cyclohexyl units impart a higher magnitude of secondary relaxation than the terephthaloyl units while maintaining high modulus, suggesting that these polymers may have higher impact strength than the ones with no cyclohexyl units. / Ph.

La première permet d'évaluer quelles propriétés de ces sels fondus doivent être optimisées pour cette application en utilisant les données recueillies avec une série de nouveaux liquides ioniques protiques constitués de l'acide trifluoroacétique et différentes bases hétérocycliques azotées. La seconde discute de l'effet d'impuretés colorées sur les propriétés des liquides ioniques ainsi que sur des aspects pratiques devant être pris en considération lors des synthèses. La troisième traite d'importantes relations structure–propriétés pour une série de liquides ioniques protiques ayant des cations du type pyridinium et différents anions. Dans leur ensemble, les travaux présentés devraient permettre une recherche plus efficace de liquides ioniques avec des propriétés désirables en vue d'application comme électrolyte dans le futur. / This thesis on the development of room temperature protic ionic liquids as electrolytes in ruthenium-dioxide based faradaic superpacitors consists of three separate studies. The first one establishes which properties of molten salts need to be optimized for this application by using the data obtained from the analysis of a series of protic ionic liquids composed of trifluoroacetic acid and N-heterocyclic bases. The second study elaborates on the effect of colored impurities on the properties of ionic liquids and also reports practical aspects which need to be accounted for during their synthesis. The third study focuses on important structure–property relationships for a series of protic ionic liquids with pyridinium cations and various anions. Altogether, the results presented in here should allow a more efficient design of ionic liquids with desirable properties for application as electrolytes in the future.

Este trabalho enquadra-se dentro dos objetivos da engenharia de cristais moleculares para a obtenção de novas formas sólidas que possam apresentar propriedades farmacêuticas aprimoradas, especificamente de um dos fármacos mais utilizados e comercializados na terapia antirretroviral, contra o HIV: lamivudina, β-L-2\',3\'-didesoxi-3\'-tiocitidina (3TC). As formas cristalinas apresentadas correspondem aos sais dos ácidos inorgânicos: bromidrato (3TCH+-Br-), difluoridrato de hidrogênio (3TCH+-F-HF) e nitrato de lamivudina (3TCH+-NO3-). Estes novos sais cristalizaram no grupo espacial não-centrossimétrico P21, com um par iônico por unidade assimétrica. Os sais halogenados (3TCH+-Br- e 3TCH+-F-HF) apresentaram arranjos supramoleculares isoestruturais inclusive com o sal anidro do cloridrato de lamivudina (3TCH+-Cl-), reportado em trabalhos anteriores no nosso grupo de pesquisa, e cuja solubilidade no equilíbrio apresentou um aumento em relação à forma farmacêutica da 3TC. A característica principal dos arranjos cristalinos destes sais está relacionada com o ordenamento supramolecular das unidades catiônicas 3TCH+, a qual é constante, observando-se a formação de vacâncias entre elas ao longo do eixo cristalino a, decorrente da simetria helicoidal característica do grupo espacial. Desta forma, os ânions se acomodam nos interstícios destas vacâncias estabilizando o arranjo cristalino. Entretanto, o sal 3TCH+NO3- apresentou um comportamento conformacional e supramolecular diferente do observado nos sais halogenados. Neste caso observaram-se a formação de fitas helicoidais ao longo do eixo b, as quais vão se acoplando por simetria translacional na direção horizontal no plano [10-1] por meio de ligações de hidrogênio clássicas do tipo N–H•••O entre os fragmentos citosinicos e O–H•••O dos grupos hidroxilas e os ânions nitrato correspondentemente. Portanto, há a formação de planos moleculares em ziguezague, que posteriormente vão se arquitetando paralelamente na direção [1 0 -1] através de interações de curto alcance. Tanto as características conformacionais e supramoleculares, quanto a pureza exibida pelos sais foram também corroboradas com a ajuda de outras técnicas de análise no estado sólido, como a difração de raios X por pó (DRXP), a análise vibracional no infravermelho (IV) e Raman, e a análise térmica: calorimetria exploratória diferencial (DSC), termogravimetria (TG) e microscopia termo-óptica (Hot-stage). Cálculos de single-point em nível da teoria do funcional da densidade (DFT) foram realizados com o intuito de auxiliar na compreensão de algumas interações intermoleculares. Comparações das propriedades estruturais dos sais sintetizados com algumas formas já reportadas da 3TC (por exemplo, a 3TCH-Cl) permitiram inferir possíveis propriedades farmacêuticas. / This work falls within the main goals of crystal engineering, the improvement of pharmaceutical properties, through the design of new solid forms of the lamivudine, β-L-2 ´, 3´-dideoxy-3´-tiocytidine (3TC), one of the most used and marketed drug in the antiretroviral therapy against HIV. The crystalline forms herein presented correspond to inorganic acid salts: Lamivudine hydrobromide (3TCH+-Br-), hydrogen difluoride (3TCH+-F-HF) and nitrate (3TCH+-NO3-). These new salts crystallized in non-centrossymetric space group P21, with an ionic pair per asymmetric unit. The halogenated salts (3TCH+-Br- and 3TCH+-F-HF) exhibited isostructural supramolecular assemblies, similar to the anhydrous salt of lamivudine hydrochloride (3TCH+-Cl-) reported in a previous studies performed in our research group, and whose equilibrium solubility showed an increase when compared with 3TC pharmaceutical form. The main feature of the salt crystalline assemblies is related to the supramolecular ordering of the 3TCH+ cationic units, which is constant, by observing the formation of vacancies between them along the a crystalline axis due to the helical symmetry, characteristic of their space group. In this way, the anions accommodate themselves into the interstices of these vacancies, stabilizing the crystalline assemblies. Meanwhile, the 3TCH+NO3- salt showed a conformational and supramolecular behavior different from that observed in the halogenated salts. In this case it was observed the formation of helical strands along the b axis, which will be engaging by translational symmetry in the horizontal direction in the [10-1] plane through N–H•••O e O–H•••O classical hydrogen bonds, between the cytosine and hydroxyl fragments and the nitrate anions. Therefore, they form molecular zigzag plans which will subsequently architect parallel with the [10-1] direction by short-contact interactions. Both conformational and supramolecular characteristics as well as the purity exhibited by these salts were also supported with the help of other solid state techniques such as X-ray powder diffraction (XRDP), vibrational analysis as Infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopy and thermal analysis as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry (TG) and hot-stage microscopy. Single point theoretical calculations at the level of density functional theory (DFT) were performed in order to assist in the understanding of some intermolecular interactions. Comparison of the structural properties of the synthesized salts with some forms already reported (e.g. 3TCH+-Cl-) allowed to infer some possible pharmaceutical properties.

This work presents a preliminary perspective of Quantitative Structure-Property Relationship (QSPR) modeling to assist in the targeted choice/design of active organocatalysts to produce cyclic carbonates. The QSPR was developed by applying the molecular descriptors (2D) to model the structure-property relationship between the organocatalysts features and its activity to produce oleochemical carbonates. From the virtual screening, a total of 122 catalysts have their activity predicted and the best molecular targets are proposed. The principal molecular features (organic structure, molecular arrangement, carbon chain size and substituent type) were identified through data mining, while the principal component analysis (PCA) proved to be suitable to perform the exploratory analysis of the molecules set. In addition, is presented the first report of the application of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as a new catalyst to produce oleochemical carbonate derived from soy, canola and rice oils. The reactions were performed in a 50 cm3 stainless steel autoclave at 120?C, for 48 hours, without stirring, 5 MPa (p, CO2), 2 g of epoxidized oil, 4 mL of butanol and 5 mol% of CTAB. From the proposed method, all reactions showed more than 98% of epoxide conversion to cyclic carbonate for all the vegetable oil. In this way, the QSPR modelling can be applied to reduce the costs and time in the organocatalysts screening/design for the cyclic carbonates synthesis from CO2 and epoxides. / At? o momento, apenas um pequeno n?mero de organocatalisadores foram aplicados para produ??o de carbonatos oleoqu?micos, enquanto a descri??o de novos sistemas de catalisadores ainda ? limitada. O presente trabalho apresenta uma perspectiva preliminar da modelagem por Rela??o Quantitativa Estrutura-Propriedade (QSPR) para auxiliar na escolha/desenho de novos organocatalisadores para produ??o de carbonatos c?clicos. O QSPR foi desenvolvido aplicando os descritores moleculares (2D) para modelar a rela??o estrutura-propriedade entre as caracter?sticas dos organocatalisadores e sua atividade para produ??o de carbonatos oleoqu?micos. A partir da triagem virtual, um total de 122 catalisadores tiveram sua atividade prevista e os melhores alvos moleculares s?o propostos. As principais caracter?sticas moleculares (estrutura org?nica, arranjo molecular, tamanho da cadeia de carbono e tipo de substituinte) foram identificadas atrav?s da minera??o de dados, enquanto a an?lise de componentes principais (PCA) mostrou-se adequada para realizar a an?lise explorat?ria do conjunto de mol?culas. Al?m disso, ? apresentado o primeiro relato da aplica??o do brometo de cetiltrimetilam?nio (CTAB) como um catalisador para a produ??o de carbonato oleoqu?mico derivados dos ?leos de soja, canola e arroz. As rea??es foram realizadas em uma autoclave de a?o inoxid?vel de 50 cm3 a 120 ? C, durante 48 horas, sem agita??o, 5 MPa (p, CO2), 2 g de ?leo epoxidado, 4 mL de butanol e 5% molar de CTAB. A partir do m?todo proposto, todas as rea??es apresentaram mais de 98% de convers?o de ep?xido em carbonato c?clico para todos os ?leos vegetais.

Les tensioactifs dérivés de sucres représentent la principale famille de tensioactifs bio-sourcés et constituent de bons candidats pour substituer les tensioactifs dérivés du pétrole puisqu'ils sont issus de ressources renouvelables et peuvent être autant, voire plus performants dans diverses applications, comme la formulation (détergents, cosmétiques,…), la récupération assistée du pétrole ou des minéraux, etc. Différentes propriétés amphiphiles permettent de caractériser la performance des tensioactifs dans de telles applications, comme la concentration micellaire critique, la tension de surface à la concentration micellaire critique, l'efficience et le point de Krafft. Prédire ces propriétés serait bénéfique pour identifier plus rapidement les tensioactifs possédant les propriétés désirées. Les modèles QSPR sont des outils permettant de prédire de telles propriétés, mais aucun modèle QSPR fiable dédié à ces propriétés n'a été identifié pour les tensioactifs bio-sourcés, et en particulier les tensioactifs dérivés de sucres. Au cours de cette thèse, de tels modèles QSPR ont été développés. Une base de données fiables est nécessaire pour développer tout modèle QSPR. Concernant les tensioactifs dérivés de sucres, aucune base de données existante n'a été identifiée pour les propriétés ciblées. Cela a donné suite à la construction de la première base de données de propriétés amphiphiles de tensioactifs dérivés de sucres, qui est en cours de valorisation. L'analyse de cette base de données a mis en évidence différentes relations empiriques entre la structure de ces molécules et leurs propriétés amphiphiles, et permis d'isoler des jeux de données les plus fiables et au protocole le plus homogène possibles en vue du développement de modèles QSPR. Après établissement d'une stratégie robuste pour calculer les descripteurs moléculaires constituant les modèles QSPR, qui s'appuie notamment sur des analyses conformationnelles des tensioactifs dérivés de sucres et des descripteurs des têtes polaires et chaînes alkyles, différents modèles QSPR ont été développés, validés, et leur domaine d'applicabilité spécifié, pour la concentration micellaire critique, la tension de surface à la concentration micellaire critique, l'efficience et le point de Krafft. Pour les trois premières propriétés, des modèles quantitatifs performants ont pu être obtenus. Si les descripteurs quantiques ont apporté un gain prédictif important pour la tension de surface à la concentration micellaire critique, et un léger gain pour la concentration micellaire critique, aucun gain n'a été observé pour l'efficience. Pour ces trois propriétés, des modèles simples basés sur des descripteurs constitutionnels des parties hydrophile et hydrophobe de la molécule (comme des décomptes d'atomes) ont aussi été obtenus. Pour le point de Krafft, deux arbres de décision qualitatifs, classant la molécule comme soluble ou insoluble dans l'eau à température ambiante, ont été proposés. Les descripteurs quantiques ont ici aussi apporté un gain en prédictivité, même si un modèle relativement fiable basé sur des descripteurs constitutionnels des parties hydrophile et hydrophobe de la molécule a aussi été obtenu. Enfin, nous avons montré comment ces modèles QSPR peuvent être utilisés, pour prédire les propriétés de nouvelles molécules avant toute synthèse dans un contexte de screening, ou les propriétés manquantes de molécules existantes, et pour le design in silico de nouvelles molécules par combinaison de fragments. / Sugar-based surfactants are the main family of bio-based surfactants and are good candidates as substitutes for petroleum-based surfactants, since they originate from renewable resources and can show as good as, or even better, performances in various applications, such as detergent and cosmetic formulation, enhanced oil or mineral recovery, etc. Different amphiphilic properties can characterize surfactant performance in such applications, like critical micelle concentration, surface tension at critical micelle concentration, efficiency and Kraft point. Predicting such properties would be beneficial to quickly identify surfactants that exhibit desired properties. QSPR models are tools to predict such properties, but no reliable QSPR model was identified for bio-based surfactants, and in particular sugar-based surfactants. During this thesis, such QSPR models were developed. A reliable database is required to develop any QSPR model. Regarding sugar-based surfactants, no database was identified for the targeted properties. This motivated the elaboration of the first database of amphiphilic properties of sugar-based surfactants. The analysis of this database highlighted various empirical relationships between the chemical structure of these molecules and their amphiphilic properties, and enabled to isolate the most reliable datasets with the most homogeneous possible protocol, to be used for the development of the QSPR models. After the development of a robust strategy to calculate molecular descriptors that constitute QSPR models, notably relying upon conformational analysis of sugar-based surfactants and descriptors calculated only for the polar heads and for the alkyl chains, different QSPR models were developed, validated, and their applicability domain defined, for the critical micelle concentration, the surface tension at critical micelle concentration, the efficiency and the Kraft point. For the three first properties, good quantitative models were obtained. If the quantum chemical descriptors brought a significant additional predictive power for the surface tension at critical micelle concentration, and a slight improvement for the critical micelle concentration, no gain was observed for efficiency. For these three properties, simple models based on constitutional descriptors of polar heads and alkyl chains of the molecule (like atomic counts) were also obtained. For the Krafft point, two qualitative decision trees, classifying the molecule as water soluble or insoluble at room temperature, were proposed. The use of quantum chemical descriptors brought an increase in predictive power for these decision trees, even if a quite reliable model only based on constitutional descriptors of polar heads and alkyl chains was also obtained. At last, we showed how these QSPR models can be used, to predict properties of new surfactants before synthesis in a context of computational screening, or missing properties of existing surfactants, and for the in silico design of new surfactants by combining different polar heads with different alkyl chain
