Adsorption chromatography is a type of chromatography where the mobile phase is adsorbed onto the surface of a stationary solid phase. Separation occurs due to differences in how strongly components compete for active sites on the adsorbent, based on electrostatic forces. Common adsorbents include silica gel and alumina. Thin layer chromatography is a technique where the mobile phase flows over a thin layer of adsorbent on a plate, separating components by differential migration.
Raman spectroscopy is a technique that analyzes the scattering of monochromatic light, such as from a laser, after its interaction with molecular vibrations. Most light is elastically scattered, but a small amount is scattered at optical frequencies that are different from the incident light. This provides a fingerprint by which molecules can be identified. Raman spectroscopy is useful for chemical analysis and is non-destructive. It can identify materials through glass or plastic and does not require complex sample preparation.
Applications of IR (Infrared) Spectroscopy in Pharmaceutical Industrywonderingsoul114
1. Infrared spectroscopy can be used to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze compounds. It is used to identify unknown substances by comparing their IR spectra to reference standards.
2. The "fingerprint" region from 1200-700 cm-1 is particularly useful for identification because small molecular differences result in significant spectral changes in this region. Computer search systems can also identify compounds by matching IR spectra to profiles of pure compounds.
3. IR spectroscopy allows determination of molecular structures by identifying the presence or absence of functional groups from their characteristic absorption bands. It can also be used to study the progress of chemical reactions.
Mass spectroscopy is a technique used to analyze molecules. It involves ionizing molecules using electrons, accelerating the ions, and separating them based on their mass-to-charge ratio using electric or magnetic fields. The ions are then detected, producing a mass spectrum that is unique to each molecule and can be used to determine molecular structure. Mass spectroscopy requires only a small amount of sample and provides accurate molecular mass and elemental composition information. It is a destructive technique as the sample is consumed during ionization and fragmentation processes.
1313
C NMR spectroscopy provides information about the number and types of nonequivalent carbon atoms in a molecule. It detects the number of protons bonded to each carbon and the electronic environment of the carbons. The chemical shift range for 1313
C NMR is much wider than for 1H NMR, from 0 to 220 ppm versus 0 to 12 ppm, making individual carbon signals easier to distinguish. Signal averaging and Fourier transform techniques improve the sensitivity of the 1313
C NMR spectrum. Decoupling and DEPT experiments can also provide information about the types of carbon atoms present.
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy is a technique used to characterize organic molecules by identifying carbon-hydrogen frameworks. It exploits the magnetic properties of atomic nuclei when subjected to radio waves and magnetic fields. There are two main types of NMR spectroscopy: 1H NMR determines the number and type of hydrogen atoms, and 13C NMR determines the type of carbon atoms. When nuclei are placed in a magnetic field, their spins can be aligned with or against the field, producing detectable signals. Chemical shifts in these signals provide information about the molecular structure and atomic environment of the nuclei.
This document outlines a PowerPoint presentation on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. It covers the fundamentals of NMR including spin-spin coupling, instrumentation, solvents, chemical shifts, and 2D NMR techniques. Applications discussed include structure elucidation of organic compounds and biomolecules, as well as clinical uses such as MRI. Specific NMR experiments summarized are COSY, NOESY, and HETCOR.
Chromatography is a laboratory technique used to separate mixtures by distributing components to separate between two phases, one stationary and one mobile. It works based on how substances partition between the phases and move through the system at different rates. Common techniques include column chromatography, thin layer chromatography, gas chromatography, and high performance liquid chromatography. Chromatography is used in analytical chemistry to identify unknown substances and quantify components in a mixture.
UV/visible spectroscopy involves the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter. Absorption spectroscopy measures the absorption of UV or visible light, while emission spectroscopy measures light emitted from a sample. The wavelength and frequency of electromagnetic radiation are inversely related by the equation c=λν. Electronic transitions in molecules, such as σ→σ*, π→π*, n→σ*, and n→π* can be detected using UV/visible spectroscopy. Beer's law states that absorbance is directly proportional to concentration and path length. Chromophores are functional groups in molecules that absorb UV or visible light.
Paper chromatography is a technique introduced in 1865 that separates mixtures by analyzing how compounds partition between a stationary phase (cellulose paper) and a mobile phase (solvent). It is simple and widely used. Compounds are separated based on how they partition between the water in cellulose fibers and an organic solvent. Samples are applied to a line on paper and developed in a chamber saturated with solvent vapors. Compounds form separate spots visualized with detectors like iodine or UV light. Quantification is done by comparing spot intensities to a standard.
Introduction and Principle of IR spectroscopyRajaram Kshetri
This document provides an introduction to infrared (IR) spectrophotometry. It discusses how IR spectroscopy analyzes molecular vibrations when molecules absorb IR radiation that matches their natural vibrational frequencies. The document outlines the principle of IR spectroscopy and describes the different types of molecular vibrations observed in IR spectra, including stretching and bending vibrations. It also discusses the criteria for a molecule to absorb IR radiation, such as having a change in dipole moment when vibrations occur.
Column chromatography is a separation technique that uses a stationary phase, usually a solid, and a mobile liquid phase to separate mixtures. It was developed in 1900 and involves passing a liquid containing dissolved compounds through a column packed with a solid adsorbent. Components separate based on their different interactions with the stationary and mobile phases, with less strongly adsorbed compounds eluting more quickly. Column chromatography is useful for purifying compounds and isolating constituents from mixtures.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
Gene therapy can be broadly defined as the transfer of genetic material to cure a disease or at least to improve the clinical status of a patient.
One of the basic concepts of gene therapy is to transform viruses into genetic shuttles, which will deliver the gene of interest into the target cells.
Safe methods have been devised to do this, using several viral and non-viral vectors.
In the future, this technique may allow doctors to treat a disorder by inserting a gene into a patient's cells instead of using drugs or surgery.
The biggest hurdle faced by medical research in gene therapy is the availability of effective gene-carrying vectors that meet all of the following criteria:
Protection of transgene or genetic cargo from degradative action of systemic and endonucleases,
Delivery of genetic material to the target site, i.e., either cell cytoplasm or nucleus,
Low potential of triggering unwanted immune responses or genotoxicity,
Economical and feasible availability for patients .
Viruses are naturally evolved vehicles that efficiently transfer their genes into host cells.
Choice of viral vector is dependent on gene transfer efficiency, capacity to carry foreign genes, toxicity, stability, immune responses towards viral antigens and potential viral recombination.
There are a wide variety of vectors used to deliver DNA or oligo nucleotides into mammalian cells, either in vitro or in vivo.
The most common vector system based on retroviruses, adenoviruses, herpes simplex viruses, adeno associated viruses.
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.
Adsorption chromatography is a type of chromatography where the mobile phase is adsorbed onto the surface of a stationary solid phase. Separation occurs due to differences in how strongly components compete for active sites on the adsorbent, based on electrostatic forces. Common adsorbents include silica gel and alumina.
