  • Mechanistic Studies On The Oxidative Polymerization Of 8-Hydroxyquinoline And Diiodohydroxyquinoline In Anti-Diarrhea Tablets
    Physical Chemistry: An Indian Journal, 2007
    Co-Authors: Saleh A. Ahmed, Seddique M. Ahmed
    Abstract:

    Mechanistic studies of the oxidative polymerization reaction of 8-hydroxyquinoline(HQ) were studied experimentally using spectrophotometric technique. Molecular mechanics(MM+) calculations showed that the potential energy(PE) and optimum molecular geometric(OMG) energies(kcal/mol) of the proposed structures formed during polymerization process are very low. These calculations supported the proposed mechanism. The oxidation constant(Kox) of the anionic form(HQ-NaOH) is about twice greater than the protonated form(HQ-H2SO4). Molecular mechanics(MM+) calculations showed that the PE (kcal/mol) of the HQ in the anionic(HQ-NaOH) is about two times greater than the PE in the protonated(HQ-HCl) forms. The proposed procedure was followed successfully for the oxidation of HQ in sterptoquin(SQ) (anti-diarrhea) tablets. The oxidation constant(Kox) of HQ in SQ was found also to be lower than the Kox in synthetic(HQ) solution. Kinetic parameters of the oxidative polymerization of the anionic form of HQ(HQ-NaOH) at different concentration were deduced employing a computer-oriented kinetic analysis of the absorbance(A) at 610nm against the time(t/sec) data. The results obtained indicate that the rate controlling process is governed by the Ginstling-Brounshetin-equation three-dimensional diffusion(D4). It is interesting to note from these calculations that the k value calculated by D4 is about eleven, twenty four, and one hindered five times of magnitude lower than the k values obtained by applying first-(F1), second-(F2), and third-order(F3) kinetics under the same conditions. Activation parameters for the rate of oxidation process of HQ have been computed and discussed.

  • Oxidative Polymerization Studies of 8-Hydroxyquinoline in Different Media
    Polish Journal of Chemistry, 2007
    Co-Authors: Seddique M. Ahmed, Saleh A. Ahmed
    Abstract:

    Oxidative polymerization reaction of 8-hydroxyquinoline (HQ) in different media has been studied experimentally by spectrophotometric technique and confirmed computationally by molecular mechanics (MM+) calculations. MM+ calculations showed that the PE of the optimum molecular geometric (OMG) of the anionic HQ (HQ-NaOH) form is about two (1.985) times greater than the PE in the protonated (HQ-HCl) form. PE of the OMG structure of the PHQ was computed (-30.651 kJ mol -1 ). These calculations indicate that the matrix is highly stable. The oxidation constant (K ox ) of the anionic form (HQ-NaOH) is about twice (2.02) greater than that of the protonated (HQ-H 2 SO 4 ) form. The proposed procedure was successfully applied for the oxidation of Diiodohydroxyquinoline in streptoquin (SQ) (anti-diarrhea, tablets). The K ox of HQ in SQ was also found to be lower than the K ox in synthetic (HQ) solution. Kinetic parameters of the oxidative polymerization of the anionic form ofHQ (HQ-NaOH) were deduced on the basis ofabsorbance variations. The results of computer-oriented kinetic analysis indicate that the rate-controlling step of the HQ polymerization is governed by Ginstling-Bronstein equation representing the three-dimensional diffusion (D4). Activation parameters of the oxidative polymerization of the anionic form of HQ (HQ-NaOH) were computed and discussed.

  • Amoebic dysentery.
    BMJ clinical evidence, 2013
    Co-Authors: Chelsea Marie, William Arthur Petri
    Abstract:

    Amoebic dysentery is caused by the protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica. It is transmitted in areas where poor sanitation allows contamination of drinking water and food with faeces. In these areas, up to 40% of people with diarrhoea may have amoebic dysentery. We conducted a systematic review and aimed to answer the following clinical question: What are the effects of drug treatments for amoebic dysentery in endemic areas? We searched: Medline, Embase, The Cochrane Library, and other important databases up to June 2013 (Clinical Evidence reviews are updated periodically; please check our website for the most up-to-date version of this review). We included harms alerts from relevant organisations such as the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). We found 6 systematic reviews, RCTs, or observational studies that met our inclusion criteria. We performed a GRADE evaluation of the quality of evidence for interventions. In this systematic review, we present information relating to the effectiveness and safety of the following interventions: Diiodohydroxyquinoline (iodoquinol), diloxanide, emetine, metronidazole, nitazoxanide, ornidazole, paromomycin, secnidazole, and tinidazole.
