С помощью объемного варианта сорбционного метода изучена сорбция воды пленками ПАА, ПАК, ПМАК и смесями ПАА-ПАК, ПАА-ПМАК разного состава. Измерены теплоты смешения образцов с водой с использованием микрокалориметра типа Тиана-Кальве. Рассчитаны разности химических потенциалов воды ∆µ1, полимеров и смесей ∆µ2, энергии Гиббса смешения полимеров с водой ∆gm. Определены энергии Гиббса, энтальпии и энтропии смешения компонентов в полимерных композициях. Показано, что сорбционная способность систем ПАА-ПАК, ПАА-ПМАК определяется их структурой и сродством к воде. ПАК ведет себя как плотноупакованный полимер, имеющий высокое сродство к воде, а сорбция воды ПМАК свидетельствует о менее плотной упаковке цепей и меньшему сродству к воде. Сорбция воды смесями немонотонно изменяется с составом композиции. Установлено, что смешение всех систем с водой сопровождается уменьшением энергий Гиббса (Δgm < 0), величина ∂2g/∂ω22 > 0, что указывает на образование термодинамически устойчивых систем. Чем б льше сорбционная способность полимера или смеси, тем более отрицательны величины Δgm. Обнаружено, что растворение в воде всех изученных систем сопровождается экзотермическим тепловым эффектом. Отклонения энтальпий смесей от аддитивности положительны для всех систем кроме смеси ПАА-ПМАК с ωПАА < 0,2, что свидетельствует о хорошем взаимодействии полимеров друг с другом. Установлено, что энергии Гиббса смешения ПАА с ПАК и ПМАК полученные двумя методами: с помощью расчета по энергиям Гиббса растворения систем и с помощью уравнения Флори-Хаггинса, хорошо коррелируют друг с другом. Показано, что что смешение ПАА с ПАК сопровождается экзотермическим тепловым эффектом во всей области составов и уменьшением энергии Гиббса вплоть до содержания 90% ПАА. При этом ∆gx и ∆hx близки по величине, и энтропийный вклад в совместимость компонентов T∆sx очень невелик. Таким образом, термодинамическая совместимость ПАА с ПАК обусловлена, главным образом, энергетическим взаимодействием компонентов. Обнаружено, что смеси ПАА-ПМАК образуются с отрицательной энергией Гиббса смешения (∆gx<0) и знакопеременной энтальпией смешения: при содержании ПАА менее 20% ∆hx > 0,а при содержании более 20% – ∆hx<0. Энтропия смешения положительна во всей области составов. / Using the volumetric version of the sorption method, water sorption was studied with PAM, PAA, PMAA films and PAM-PAA, PAM-PMAA mixtures of various compositions. The heats of mixing samples with water were measured using a Tiana-Calve type microcalorimeter. The differences between the chemical potentials of water ∆µ1, polymers and mixtures ∆µ2, Gibbs energy of mixing polymers with water ∆gm are calculated. The Gibbs energies, enthalpy, and entropy of mixing of the components in polymer compositions are determined. It was shown that the sorption ability of PAM-PAA, PAM-PMAK systems is determined by their structure and affinity for water. PAA behaves as a close-packed polymer with a high affinity for water, and the sorption of PMAA water indicates a less dense packing of chains and a lower affinity for water. Sorption of water mixtures non-monotonously changes with the composition. It was found that the mixing of all systems with water is accompanied by a decrease in Gibbs energies (Δgm <0), the value ∂2g/∂ω22> 0, which indicates the formation of thermodynamically stable systems. The greater the sorption capacity of the polymer or mixture, the more negative the Δgm values. It was found that dissolution of all the studied systems in water is accompanied by an exothermic thermal effect. Deviations of the enthalpies of the mixtures from additivity are positive for all systems except the PAM-PMAA mixture with ωPAM <0.2, which indicates a good interaction of the polymers with each other. It was established that the Gibbs energies of mixing PAM with PAA and PMAA were obtained by two methods: using the Gibbs energies of dissolution of systems and using the Flory-Huggins equation, they correlate well with each other. It was shown that the mixing of PAM with PAA is accompanied by an exothermic thermal effect in the entire composition range and a decrease in Gibbs energy up to the content of 90% PAM. Moreover, ∆gx and ∆hx are close in magnitude, and the entropy contribution to the compatibility of the components of T∆sx is very small. Thus, the thermodynamic compatibility of PAM with PAA is mainly due to the energy interaction of the components. It was found that PAM-PMAA mixtures are formed with a negative Gibbs mixing energy (∆gx <0) and an alternating mixing enthalpy: with a PAM content of less than 20%, ∆hx> 0, and with a content of more than 20%, ∆hx <0. The entropy of mixing is positive throughout the composition field.

This study examined the effects of wet aging on water-soluble flavor compounds, descriptive flavor, consumer acceptability, and willingness-to-pay of beef strip steaks. Twenty USDA Select boneless beef loins (NAMP #180) were dorsally divided into four equal portions, which were randomized to receive either 0, 7, 14, or 21 d of wet aging. Short-chained peptide concentration increased from 4.11 mg/g on d 0 to 5.12 mg/g on d 7 (P = 0.011) and subsequently increased to 7.14 mg/g on d 21 (P < 0.001). Cooked beef contained 1.85 mg/g less short-chained peptides than raw beef (P < 0.001). Wet aging for 21 d increased the concentrations of amino acids, which are precursors for the Maillard reaction, including methionine, threonine, cystine, serine, tryptophan, and phenylalanine (P < 0.001). Wet aging decreased the nucleotide concentrations (P ≤ 0.003) and increased hypoxanthine concentration, a compound that imparts bitter flavor (P < 0.001). Flavor intensity of steaks was greater on d 14 than on d 21 (P = 0.009). Steaks that were not aged (d 0) had a more intense umami taste than those aged for 7 and 21 d (P ≤ 0.042); whereas d 7 steaks had less off-flavor, described as metallic, oxidized, and cardboard, than steaks from other aging treatments (P ≤ 0.038). Demand analysis indicated that 14-d steaks would be sold at 5.2, 5.2, and 6.7 units (0.454kg/unit) less (P < 0.001) than steaks aged for 0, 7, and 21 d if holding price constant at $14/0.454kg. Wet aging alters the content of water-soluble flavor compounds in beef, which contributes to flavor development during cooking. Wet aging for 21 d decreased umami taste and flavor intensity. However, amino acid concentrations increased during aging, which contributes to meaty and browning flavors that may be more prevalent in other direct heating methods such as grilling. In addition, results indicated that wet aging for 14 d was not sufficient to provide the flavor and tenderness improvements that were apparent after 21 d of aging since aging beef for 14 d decreased consumer acceptance and demand.

Pharmaceutical companies and FDA (Federal Drug Administration) rules rely heavily on crystalline active pharmaceutical ingredients delivered as tablets and powders in the form of neutral compounds, salts and solvates of neutral compounds and salts. About half of all drugs sold in the market are in the form of salts which are held together by ionic bonds along with some other forces. Recently, Ionic liquids (ILs) an interesting class of chemical compounds have offered potential opportunity for exploration as novel drug ionic liquid salts, particularly in the field of transdermal/topical drug delivery. Due to the multifunctional nature of these salts they could allow generation of new pathway to manipulate the transport and deposition behaviour of the drug molecule. It is this modular approach of IL that forms the basis of the research presented here, in which pharmaceutically acceptable compounds are combined with selected drugs with known problems. IL salts were generated by combining at least one drug molecule with FDA approved compounds and were assessed for physicochemical properties, skin deposition and permeation studies. Skin deposition data suggested that these systems exhibit high skin retention, which was found to correlate with the molecular weight. On the other hand, permeation data displayed an inverse relationship between flux values and molecular weight of the permeant. Similar work was extended with ILs with mixed anions containing two drugs. The benzalkonium-sulfacetamide ILs were investigated for synergism and the biological studies data display no synergistic effect. It was also illustrated that in-situ IL based ibuprofen hydrogels systems could be manipulated via IL approach for topical application. These findings suggest the potential applicability of IL based formulations for topical delivery of drugs.

La mission centrale de la chimie verte est d'inventer de nouveaux procédés non polluants pour remplacer les technologies peu favorables à l'environnement. L'emploi de métaux de transition relativement non toxiques en quantités catalytiques associés à des ligands chiraux a permis de réaliser une avancée dans le domaine de la synthèse asymétrique. Dans ce travail, nous avons mis en évidence la possibilité de l'utilisation du peroxyde d'hydrogène, un oxydant vert et économique, en association avec des métalloporphyrines hydrosolubles (Fe, Mn) pour effectuer des réactions d'oxydation asymétrique (sulfoxydation, époxydation et hydroxylation). Ces systèmes représentatifs d'un modèle de l'effet « shunt » des enzymes monooxygénases dérivées de la famille cytochrome P450 sont très efficaces. Ils conduisent dans certains cas à des excès énantiomériques élevés (82%). D'autre part, nous avons développé les réactions de transfert de carbènes dans l'eau (insertion N-H et cyclopropanation asymétrique) catalysées par des porphyrines de fer. L'utilisation du fer comme métal a permis de surmonter plusieurs limites souvent rencontrées avec d'autres métaux (Ru, Rh) lors des réactions de transfert de carbènes dans l'eau. Comme application de la réaction d'insertion N-H, nous avons réalisé la bio-conjugaison régiosélective de l'insuline avec une conversion très élevée (90%). / The goal of green chemistry is to promote the research and the development of innovative chemical technologies in order to reduce the contamination of environment. Significant progress in this field has been made by using relatively non toxic transition metal and chiral ligands to catalyze enantioselective transformations. In this work, we have reported the combination of hydrogen peroxide as environmentally benign and atom-economically oxidant with water-soluble metalloporphyrins (Fe, Mn) for the asymmetric oxidation of sulfides, alkenes and C-H bonds. These catalytic systems widely studied as models of cytochrome P450, gave high enantiomeric excesses (ee up to 82%). In the other hand, we have developed carbene transfer reactions in water as « green » solvent catalyzed by water soluble iron porphyrins. This metal (Fe) has been found to overcome many limitations related to the use of other metals (Ru, Rh) in aqueous media. As an application of N-H insertion reaction, the regioselective bio-conjugation of insulin has been demonstrated with high conversion (90%).

O presente estudo teve como objetivo obter e caracterizar complexos binários e ternários de benznidazol (BNZ) com ciclodextrinas e polímeros hidrossolúveis com a finalidade de melhorar a solubilidade do fármaco. Efetuou-se a caracterização físico-química do fármaco avaliando-se solubilidade, calorimetria exploratória diferencial (DSC), termogravimetria (TGA), investigação de novas formas cristalinas e a definição de parâmetros para o ensaio de dissolução intrínseca. Posteriormente, esses dados foram utilizados como referência nos estudos de caracterização dos complexos de inclusão. Os complexos binários utilizaram as ciclodextrinas naturais &#945;CD, &#946;CD e &#947;CD, e os ternários a &#946;CD e HP&#946;CD e adição de 1,0% de polímeros hidrossolúveis (povidona e copovidona). Os complexos foram secos em estufa e adicionalmente dois métodos de preparo co-evaporação e liofilização foram empregados para comparação e escolha do mais adequado. O estudo de caracterização dos complexos foi realizado através do método de solubilidade de fases, DSC e TGA. A constante de estabilidade, a eficiência de complexação e solubilidade sugeriram maior interação do fármaco com a &#946;CD. Nos complexos ternários, a utilização de copovidona foi mais efetiva que a povidona. Houve aumento da solubilidade quando os complexos foram preparados pelo método de liofilização. A melhor solubilidade foi alcançada pelos complexos BNZ:&#946;CD (0,84 mg/mL) e BNZ:&#946;CD:copovidona (0,86 mg/mL) preparados pelo método de liofilização. / The present study was aimed to obtain and characterize binary and ternary complexes of benznidazole (BNZ) with cyclodextrins and water-soluble polymers with the purpose to improve the solubility of drug. It was performed the physicochemical characterization of BNZ by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry (TGA), investigation of new crystalline forms and the definition of parameters for the intrinsic drug dissolution test of intrinsic dissolution. Subsequently, these informations were used as reference in the studies of characterization of the inclusion complexes. The binary complexes were prepared with the cyclodextrins &#945;CD, &#946;CD and &#947;CD and the ternary with &#946;DC and HP&#946;CD and addition of 1.0% of water-soluble polymers (povidone and copovidone). The complexes were dried in tray drayer and additionally two methods of preparation coevaporation and lyophilization were employeed for comparison and the best was selected. The characterization of the complexes was carried out by phase-solubility method, DSC and TGA. The constant of stability, the efficiency of complexation and solubity suggested higher interaction of the drug with the &#946;CD. In the ternary complexes, the use of copovidone was more effective in the solubility than to povidone. There was an increased of solubility when the complexes were prepared by lyophilization. To best solubility was achieved by the complexes BNZ:&#946;CD (0.84 mg/ml) and BNZ:&#946;CD:copovidone (0.86 mg/ml) prepared by lyophilization method.

O material particulado nas frações fina e inalável (MP2,5 e MP10) para três cidades da América Latina (São Paulo Brasil, Lima Peru e Medellín Colômbia) foi analisado quimicamente para a avaliação de fontes de poluição atmosférica e dos riscos à saúde. Em São Paulo, uma campanha extensiva foi realizada ao longo de 2014 no campus da Universidade de São Paulo, com coletas de MP2,5 e MP10. Campanhas intensivas (no inverno) foram realizadas em São Paulo nos anos de 2010, 2013 e 2014, e em Lima e Medellín no ano de 2010. As espécies hidrocarbonetos policíclicos aromáticos (HPA), íons orgânicos e inorgânicos, e monossacarídeos foram determinadas por técnicas cromatográficas; as espécies carbonáceas (carbono orgânico e elementar) foram determinadas por análise termo-óptica. Os elementos foram determinados por espectrometria de massas com plasma indutivamente acoplado. Os riscos associados à exposição ao material particulado com base nas concentrações de HPA foram avaliados com os índices benzo(a)pireno equivalente (BaPE) e de risco de câncer de pulmão (RCPV). Nas campanhas intensivas de 2010, a concentração média do MP10 foi mais elevada em São Paulo do que nos outros dois sítios, 75% das amostras apresentaram concentrações acima do recomendado pela Organização Mundial da Saúde. A razão levoglucosano/manosano para São Paulo sugeriu a grande contribuição da queima da cana-de-açúcar, que em 2010 ocorreu em 70 % dos municípios do estado. Elementos relacionados às emissões veiculares (Fe, Cu) apresentaram maiores concentrações também em São Paulo. As e Pb tiveram concentrações mais elevadas em Medellín, atribuídos às emissões industriais. A concentração de Ni foi mais elevada em Lima, a espécie é associada às emissões de instalações de fundição de metal e à combustão de óleo em navios. Altos índices de BaPE e RCPV foram observados na maioria das amostras em São Paulo no ano de 2014, alcançando valores críticos no inverno (acima de 1 ng m-3 e 10-4, respectivamente). Além disso, as concentrações de HPA e traçadores de queima de biomassa foram mais elevadas no inverno. As espécies traçadoras de fontes veiculares também foram mais abundantes na campanha intensiva (inverno) devido à menor dispersão de poluentes, menos chuvas e maior frequência de inversões térmicas. A fatoração de matriz positiva permitiu uma melhor compreensão das contribuições de fontes de emissão que afetam o sítio (ressuspensão do solo, emissões industriais, emissão veicular, queima de biomassa e formação secundária). Os resultados enfatizaram a contribuição das emissões veiculares e uma contribuição significativa da queima de biomassa na estação seca (30,9 e 18,3 %, respectivamente). A maior parte do material particulado foi relacionada às fontes locais (veiculares), além da influência da queima de biomassa (cana-de-açúcar e queimas urbanas). Assim, os resultados destacaram a importância e a contribuição das atividades humanas na qualidade do ar nos três sítios latino-americanos. / The particulate matter in the fine and inhalable fractions (PM2.5 and PM10) collected in three Latin American cities (São Paulo, Brazil; Lima, Peru; and Medellín, Colombia) was chemically analysed in order to investigate the sources of atmospheric pollution and related health risks. In São Paulo, a year-round extensive campaign (2014) was conducted at the University of São Paulo campus (PM2.5 and PM10). Intensive campaigns were performed in São Paulo (2010, 2013 and 2014) and in Lima and Medellín (2010). The species such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), organic and inorganic ions and the monosaccharides were determined by chromatographic techniques. The carbonaceous species (organic and elemental carbon) were determined by thermal-optical analysis. Trace elements were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The associated risks to particulate matter exposure based on PAH concentrations were assessed with the indexes benzo[a]pyrene equivalent (BaPE) and lung cancer risk (LCR). In 2010, PM10 average concentration was higher in São Paulo than in the other two sites; 75 % of the samples presented concentrations above that recommended by World Health Organization. Levoglucosan/mannosan ratios for São Paulo samples suggested sugarcane burning; in 2010 it occurred in 70 % of São Paulo state municipalities. Vehicular related elements (Fe and Cu) also presented higher concentrations in São Paulo. As and Pb concentrations were higher in Medellín, attributed to industrial emissions. Ni was abundant in Lima atmosphere and associated to emissions from metal smelting facilities and ship heavy oil combustion. High BaPE and LCR were observed in most of the samples in São Paulo in the year of 2014, reaching critical values in the wintertime (above 1 ng m-3 and 10-4, respectively). Also, PAHs and biomass burning tracers concentrations were higher in this season. The vehicular tracer species were also more abundant in the intensive campaign (wintertime) suggesting the lower dispersion conditions, less rainfall and higher frequency of thermal inversions in that period. Positive matrix factorization provided a better comprehension over the contribution sources affecting the site; five different factors were identified: road dust, industrial emissions, vehicular exhaust, biomass burning and secondary formation. The results emphasized the contribution of vehicular emissions and the significant input from biomass combustion in the dry season (30,9 and 18,3 %, respectively). Most of the particulate matter was due to local sources (vehicular), besides the influence of pre-harvest sugarcane and urban biomass burning. Thus, the results emphasize the importance and contribution of the anthropogenic activities in the air quality for the three latin american cities.

Brazilian soils are presented naturally low in P, and practices aimed at efficient use of this nutrient can result in economic and environmental benefits to society. The objectives of this study were: (i) measure the quantitative yield of annual ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam) and soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill); (ii) to evaluate the accumulation of P (annual ryegrass and soybean); (iii) investigate the changes in the attributes of soil fertility (pH and available-P); (iv) to assess the yield of dry matter available for grazing (DMA); (v) yield of crude protein (YCP); and (vi) concentrations of neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), crude protein (CP) and P in ryegrass in ISAP undergo sources (triple superphosphate - TSP, reactive phosphate - RP Arad and magnesium thermophosphate - MTP) and P levels (0, 60, 120 and 180 kg ha-1 P2O5 total). The experiment was installed in April / 2009 at farm Capon do Cipo, in the municipality of Castro (PR). The experimental design was a randomized complete block in incomplete factorial (3x3 + 1). After 48 months of study, soil samples from the 0-5, 5-10, 10-15 and 15-20 cm were collected to determine the concentrations of available P by two methods (Mehlich-1 – M-1 and ion exchange resin - IER) to assess the availability of P for the soybean crop (2012/13). Similar yields were observed among the evaluated sources (TSP, RP and MTP) at 48 months of experimental evaluation; However, higher accumulation of P were observed for the most soluble sources. The determination of P by the extractors (M-1 and IER) overestimated the concentrations of P in the soil in condition of application of RP. But best fixes between soil P and crop attributes were higher for extraction by IER in 0-20 cm layer. Lower concentrations of NDF in annual ryegrass were verified by applying MTP, without, however, presenting the highest concentrations of P. / Sistemas integrados de produção agropecuário (SIPAs), quando bem manejados, podem resultar em benefícios para o ambiente, inclusive, otimização de uso do fósforo (P) para produção de alimentos. Os solos brasileiros apresentam-se naturalmente pobre em P, e as práticas que visam eficiência de uso deste nutriente podem resultar em benefícios econômicos e ambientais para a sociedade. Os objetivos deste trabalho foram: (i) mensurar o rendimento quantitativo do azevém anual (Lolium multiflorum Lam) e da cultura da soja (Glycine max (L.) Merrill); (ii) avaliar o acúmulo de P (azevém anual e soja); (iii) averiguar as alterações nos atributos de fertilidade do solo (pH e P-disponível); (iv) avaliar o rendimento de massa seca disponível por pastejo (MSP); (v) rendimento de proteína bruta (RPB); e as (vi) concentrações de fibra insolúvel em detergente neutro (FDN), fibra insolúvel em detergente ácido (FDA), proteína bruta (PB) e P no azevém anual, em SIPA submetido a fontes (superfosfato triplo – SFT, fosfato natural reativo – FNR Arad e termofosfato magnesiano – TFM) e doses de P (0, 60, 120 e 180 kg ha-1 de P2O5 total). O experimento foi instalado em abril/2009 na Fazenda Capão do Cipó, no município de Castro (PR). O delineamento experimental empregado foi o de blocos completos casualizados em esquema fatorial incompleto (3x3+1). Aos 48 meses de estudo, foram coletadas amostras de solo das camadas de 0-5, 5-10, 10-15 e 15-20 cm, para determinação das concentrações de P disponível por dois métodos (Mehlich-1 – M-1 e resina trocadora de íons – RTI) para avaliação da disponibilidade de P para a cultura da soja (2012/13). Foram verificados rendimentos similares entre as fontes avaliadas (SFT, FNR e TFM) aos 48 meses de avaliação experimental; todavia, maiores acúmulos de P foram verificados para as fontes mais solúveis. A determinação de P pelos extratores (M-1 e RTI) superestimou as concentrações de P no solo em condição de aplicação de FNR. Porém, melhores correlações entre o P solo e os atributos das culturas foram maiores para a extração por RTI na camada 0-20 cm. Foram verificadas menores concentrações de FDN na pastagem de azevém anual mediante a aplicação de TFM, sem, no entanto, apresentar as maiores concentrações de P.

The complexes were dried in tray drayer and additionally two methods of preparation coevaporation and lyophilization were employeed for comparison and the best was selected. The characterization of the complexes was carried out by phase-solubility method, DSC and TGA. The constant of stability, the efficiency of complexation and solubity suggested higher interaction of the drug with the &#946;CD. In the ternary complexes, the use of copovidone was more effective in the solubility than to povidone. There was an increased of solubility when the complexes were prepared by lyophilization. To best solubility was achieved by the complexes BNZ:&#946;CD (0.84 mg/ml) and BNZ:&#946;CD:copovidone (0.86 mg/ml) prepared by lyophilization method.

L’utilisation d’oligomères d’α-amino-γ-lactame (Agl-αAA) comme vecteurs de pénétration intracellulaire est décrite dans ce manuscrit. Nous avons montré que ces oligomères structurés en ruban sont capables de traverser la membrane plasmique pour atteindre le cytosol et y délivrer un cargo biologiquement actif. A la différence des séquences peptidiques, ces oligomères ont une très bonne résistance enzymatique. Une nouvelle famille de foldamères d’α-amino-γ-lactame (Agl-βAA) obtenus à partir de séquences /β peptidiques est également décrite. La structure secondaire de ces composés a été étudiée par RMN, IR-TF, CD et DRX. Nous avons montré que ces oligomères sont capables d’adopter une structure stable en hélice 12. De façon remarquable, ces oligomères sont solubles en milieux aqueux malgré une absence totale de chaînes latérales hydrophiles. / The use of α-amino-γ-lactam oligomers (Agl-αAA) as cell penetrating vectors are described in this work. These ribbon structured oligomers are able to cross the cell membrane to reach the cytosol and deliver a biologically active cargo. Unlike peptide sequences, these oligomers display a strong enzymatic resistance. A new family of α-amino-γ-lactam oligomers (Agl-βAA) obtained from conversion of /β peptide sequences are also described. Secondary structure of these molecules have been studied by NMR, FTIR, CD and XRD. These oligomers are able to adopt a stable 12-helix structure. Unexpectedly, these oligomers are soluble in aqueous mediums without any hydrophilic side chains
