  • Co-Crystallization of zinc sulfate with sucrose: A promissory strategy to render zinc solid dosage forms more palatable
    Journal of Food Engineering, 2016
    Co-Authors: Alex López-córdoba, Miriam Martino, Loreana Gallo, Verónica Bucalá, Alba S. Navarro
    Abstract:

    Abstract The objective of this work was to develop solid dosage forms to improve zinc nutrition in high-risk populations. Powders Containing zinc (17 mg/g) were obtained through Co-Crystallization in sucrose matrix with high encapsulation efficiency (98%). Co-crystallized powders showed water activity (0.6) and moisture Content (2.0%) values characteristic of good stability. Moreover, these products showed an infrared spectrum similar to that of sucrose, indicating that no chemical interactions took place between the matrix Components. Co-crystallized powders showed excellent Compactibility leading to suitably hard Compacts at a low Compression force (4.9 kN). Besides, tablets were obtained with optimal values of hardness (4.8 kg f ) and low disintegration times (

  • Yerba mate antioxidant powders obtained by Co-Crystallization: Stability during storage
    Journal of Food Engineering, 2014
    Co-Authors: Alex López-córdoba, Lorena Deladino, Leidy Agudelo-mesa, Miriam Martino
    Abstract:

    Abstract The interest on yerba mate has increased in the last years due to its high Content of bioactive Compounds related to health benefits. Antioxidant aqueous extracts of yerba mate were entrapped into a sucrose matrix by Co-Crystallization. The products were characterized in terms of their morphology, entrapment yield, loading capacity, water activity, moisture Content, antioxidant activity, thermal behavior, solubility and hygrosCopicity. It was found that the Co-Crystallization process led to high entrapment yield and maintained the antioxidant activity of the yerba mate extract towards DPPH radical. Also, the Co-crystallized powders showed values of water activity, moisture Content, hygrosCopicity and flowability indicative of high stability and good handling properties. The total polyphenols Content of the Co-crystallized products remained almost Constant along storage at 75% RH and 20 °C, however, fluctuations in their DPPH radical scavenging activity were observed.

  • Ligand Co-Crystallization of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases from infectious disease organisms.
    Scientific Reports, 2017
    Co-Authors: Spencer O. Moen, Thomas E. Edwards, David M. Dranow, Matthew C. Clifton, Banumathi Sankaran, Wesley C. Van Voorhis, Amit Sharma, Colin Manoil, Bart L. Staker, Peter J. Myler
    Abstract:

    Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) charge tRNAs with their Cognate amino acid, an essential precursor step to loading of charged tRNAs onto the ribosome and addition of the amino acid to the growing polypeptide chain during protein synthesis. Because of this important biological function, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases have been the focus of anti-infective drug development efforts and two aaRS inhibitors have been approved as drugs. Several researchers in the scientific Community requested aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases to be targeted in the Seattle Structural Genomics Center for Infectious Disease (SSGCID) structure determination pipeline. Here we investigate thirty-one aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases from infectious disease organisms by Co-Crystallization in the presence of their Cognate amino acid, ATP, and/or inhibitors. Crystal structures were determined for a CysRS from Borrelia burgdorferi bound to AMP, GluRS from Borrelia burgdorferi and Burkholderia thailandensis bound to glutamic acid, a TrpRS from the eukaryotic pathogen Encephalitozoon cuniculi bound to tryptophan, a HisRS from Burkholderia thailandensis bound to histidine, and a LysRS from Burkholderia thailandensis bound to lysine. Thus, the presence of ligands may promote aaRS Crystallization and structure determination. Comparison with homologous structures shows Conformational flexibility that appears to be a recurring theme with this enzyme class.
