“…It is believed that the variation in the OOC values is affected by the concentration and use of Amberlite IR-120H catalyst. Most of the degradation occurs due specifically to the external surface of the Amberlite IR-120H catalyst that results in oxirane ring opening 26,27 . The beadlike structure of the catalyst acts as an adsorbent in the presence of AA and other aqueous solutions including water that is generated from the production of PAA; hence, resulting in swelling of the catalyst.…”

The objective of this study was to make a comparative analysis of the effect of formic and acetic acids as oxygen carriers on the epoxidation of soybean oil used with hydrogen peroxide as the oxygen donor. Comparative analysis between the use of formic acid (FA) and acetic acid (AA) was studied to obtain the most effective oxygen carrier that yielded high oxirane oxygen contents (OOC). The epoxidation reaction was carried out using a stoichiometric ratio of 1:0.5:1, 1:0.5:0.5, and 1:0.5:2 of soybean oil: formic/acetic acid: hydrogen peroxide. The synthesis was performed at three reaction times (2, 4 and 6 h) at a constant temperature of 50°C. Samples prepared using FA and AA were characterized using ASTM D1652-11 and confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The result of this study proved FA to be an effective oxygen carrier compared to that of AA based on the high OOC and percent yield achieved. The optimum epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) sample using FA was obtained at a reaction time of 6 h using 2 moles of H2O2, yielding an OOC of 7.45 at a relative conversion to oxirane of 98%. Samples of FA were further characterized to prove the optimum parameters that gave the highest OOC using rheology and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). Rheology data revealed an increase in the viscosity that implied an increase in the degree of epoxidation. GPC indicated an increase in the molecular weight at low reaction times, then a decrease resulting in a change in the structure of the triglyceride and consequently an increase in the extent of epoxidation.

“…Honey was characterized in terms of pH and moisture content [60] using pH meter and refractometer, respectively. Also, olive oil was characterized according to the previous study [61], in terms of acidity (defined as the required KOH (mg) to neutralize the free fatty acids in 1.0 g of oil), peroxide (as the mEq of O 2 in the form of peroxide per kg of oil), and iodine (which determines the quantity of unsaturated fatty acids in oil in centigrams (cg) of I 2 absorbed per gram of sample) rates. Each analysis was performed three times.…”

This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of the cisplatin encapsulated into polybutylcyanoacrylate (PBCA) nanoparticles for the treatment of kidney cancer. The nanoformulation was successfully developed using the miniemulsion polymerization method and characterized in terms of size, size distribution, drug loading and encapsulation efficiencies, drug release behavior, in vitro cytotoxicity effects, in vivo toxicity, and therapeutic effects. Cisplatin-loaded PBCA nanoparticles were confirmed to be in nanoscale with the drug entrapment efficiency of 23% and controlled drug release profile, in which only 9% of the loaded drug was released after 48 h. The nanoparticles caused an increase in the cytotoxicity effects of cisplatin against renal cell adenocarcinoma cells (ACHN) (2.3-fold) and considerably decreased blood urea nitrogen and creatinine concentrations when compared to the standard cisplatin (1.6-fold and 1.5-fold, respectively). The nanoformulation also caused an increase in the therapeutic effects of cisplatin by 1.8-fold, in which a reduction in the mean tumor size was seen (3.5 mm vs. 6.5 mm) when compared to the standard cisplatin receiver rats. Overall, cisplatin-loaded PBCA nanoparticles can be considered as a promising drug candidate for the treatment of kidney cancer due to its potency to reduce the side effects of cisplatin and its toxicity and therapeutic effects on cancer-bearing Wistar rats.
