Thermodynamic and spectroscopic investigation of interactions between reactive red 223 and reactive orange 122 anionic dyes and cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) cationic surfactant in aqueous solution.

ABSTRACT: The present study describes the conductometric and spectroscopic study of the interaction of reactive anionic dyes, namely, reactive red 223 and reactive orange 122 with the cationic surfactant cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB). In a systematic investigation, the electrical conductivity data was used to calculate various thermodynamic parameters such as free energy (?G), enthalpy (?H), and the entropy (?S) of solubilization. The trend of change in these thermodynamic quantities indicates toward the entropy driven solubilization process. Moreover, the results from spectroscopic data reveal high degree of solubilization, with strong interactions observed in the cases of both dyes and the CTAB. The spontaneous nature of solubilization and binding was evident from the observed negative values of free energies (?G p and ?G b).

Project description:Rhinoviruses (RVs) are major instigators of acute exacerbations of asthma, COPD and other respiratory diseases. RVs are categorized into three species (RV-A, RV-B, and RV-C), which comprise more than 160 serotypes, making it difficult to develop an effective vaccine. Currently no effective treatment for RV infection is available. Pulmonary surfactant is an extracellular complex of lipids and proteins that plays a central role in regulating innate immunity in the lung. The minor pulmonary surfactant lipids, palmitoyl-oleoyl-phosphatidylglycerol (POPG) and phosphatidylinositol (PI), are potent regulators of inflammatory processes, and exert antiviral activity against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and influenza A viruses (IAV). In the current study, we examined the potencies of POPG and PI against rhinovirus A16 (RV-A16) in primary human airway epithelial cells (AECs) differentiated at an air-liquid interface (ALI). After AECs were infected with RV-A16, PI reduced viral RNA copy number by 80% and downregulated (55-65%) expression of antiviral genes (MDA5, IRF7 and IFN-lambda). In contrast, POPG only slightly decreased MDA5 (24%) and IRF7 (11%) gene expression but did not inhibit IFN-lambda gene expression or RV-A16 replication in AECs. However, both POPG and PI inhibited (50-80%) IL6 and CXCL11 gene expression and protein secretion. PI treatment dramatically attenuated global gene expression changes induced by RV-A16 infection in AECs. Cell type enrichment analysis of viral regulated genes opposed by PI treatment revealed that PI inhibited viral induction of goblet cell metaplasia and virus-induced downregulation of ciliated, club, and ionocyte cell types. Notably, PI treament altered the ability of RV-A16 to regulate expression of some phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase (PI4K), acyl-CoA binding domain containing (ACBD) and low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) genes that play critical roles in the formation and functioning of replication organelles (ROs) required for RV replication in host cells. These data suggest PI can be used as a potent, non-toxic antiviral agent for RV infection prophylaxis and treatment.

Project description:Twin structures in gold nanomaterials are destined because they reduce the severe strains in the misfit region of nanostructures. Defect-free single crystalline plasmonic nanomaterials gain interests these days as the integration of plasmonic materials or plasmons into electronic devices and circuits becomes more common. In this study, without subtle experimental adjustments, such as pH or halide additives, several shapes of single crystalline gold nanoparticles (NPs) are prepared in the surfactant mixture of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and Pluronic triblock copolymers. The synthesized NPs are primarily composed of {100} planes with small numbers of particles possessing a [110] zone axis. Pluronic copolymers with low number average molecular weights (M n), such as L-31 (M n ≈ 1100) and L-64 (M n ≈ 2900), prefer anisotropic nanorods with the aspect ratios of 4.3 and 3.0, respectively, while Pluronics with high M n values, such as F-68 (M n ≈ 8400) and F-108 (M n ≈ 14 600), favor more concentric and isotropic cube-like NPs. Extended micelles are believed to form in Pluronics with low M n values in which hydrophobic cores are merged with the increase of temperature, while the corona regions that are composed of long tails of PEO prevent the merge of hydrophobic cores, and the growth of the micelles is limited in Pluronic copolymers with high M n values. The catalytic degradation reactions of methyl orange are conducted, and rather than isotropic particles, gold nanorods exhibit better catalytic performances. More hydrophilic environment and the steric alignment of rigid aromatic structures of methyl orange along the nanorods are thought to contribute to the catalytic activities. Overall, highly confined geometries of the appropriately swollen micellar templates of Pluronics and CTAB, which is not so hydrophobic as for the formation of contracted deswollen templates and for the inhibition of the growth of NPs, and which is not so hydrophilic as for the formation of coarse templates and for the formation of isotropic spheres with varying sizes, are believed as the main factor for the formation of single crystalline gold NPs.
