Dielectric Relaxation and Dipole Moments of Four Hydrogen Bonded Heterocyclic Compounds in Chloroform

Abstract The permittivities and dielectric losses of 2-Piperedone, -Caprolactam, 2-Azacyclooctanone and 2-Azacyclononanone have been studied in chloroform solutions. They have been measured using Q meter at frequency range 150KHz to 15MHz.Both 2-Piperedone and -Caprolactam solutions were studied at concentration range 0.05 to 0.25M and over temperatures range of -10 to 45 and. The dielectric studies of 2-Azacyclooctanone solutions cover a concentration range 0.05 to 0.125M and over temperature range of -10 to 45, while that of 2-Azacyclononanone solutions were studied at concentration range 0.01 to 0.075M and over temperature range of -10 to 45. The permittivities at higher concentrated solutions up to 1.5M of 2-Pipere-done, -Caprolactam and 2-Azacyclononanone were also measured at 2MHz using dipole meter DM01 over the temperature rang -10 to 45.The static permittivities for the four systems were discussed as the affect concentration, temperature and the number of CH2 group in the cyclic amides. All show normal behaviour except that the CH2 does not show clear affect. Single relaxation process were observed for the studied compound in the chloroform solutions ( =10-9 sec). All cases, the presence of a relaxation process was established at frequencies higher than used here. These relaxation processes were discussed in terms of their relation to concentration and the number of CH2 group. The dielectric activation energies were calculated using Eyring equation. The obtained values were discussed also in terms of concentration affect. A dependence of on concentration was observed. The dipole moments for the four studied compounds in solutions were evaluated using of Cole-Cole a semicircle plots, which considered to be associated with the relaxation process and other dipole moments were evaluated using =. This was assigned as an apparent dipole moment. All these dipole moments were discussed in terms of concentration and temperature affect. The obtained dipole moments in all studied case were much larger than those expected for planer dimers association. So they assigned to the presence of dimers and trimer or tetramers association in the studied solutions.Kirkwood correlation factor for the studied systems were calculated and discussed as a function of concentration. All values of g are less than unity and were assigned to a cyclic association form.

تقدير كمية المواد ذات النشاط السطحي الأنيونية في مياه البحر والمياه الجوفية على طول الساحل لمدينة طرابلس

تحتوي منظفات الأغراض العامة على مواد فعالة أساسية ذات نشاط سطحي أنيونية (سالبة)، وهي مواد تتميز بسمية عالية، ولها مخاطر صحية تسبب أمراضاً سرطانية، وتأثيراً ضاراً على الجينات.تستهلك مدينة طرابلس أطنانا من هذه المنظفات، وبأجراء مسح للسوق المحلي لمنتجات العناية بالشعر والجسم لأكثر من (100) صنف من الشامبو، وجدنا أن أكثر المنتجات وبالأحرى كلها تحتوي على المكون (sodium lauryl sulfate ) الخطير والذي تم تعيين نسبته في بعض المنتجات، فكانت ما بين 2 إلى19%.وهذه المواد تأخذ طريقها إلى النظام المائي من خلال تدفق مياه مخلفات الصرف الصحي للأرض أوفي مياه البحر مسببة التلوث البيئي.تركيز هذه المواد في مياه البحر زاد خلال السنوات الأخيرة، فبالتالي الغرض من هذه الدراسة هو تقدير مستوى تركيز هذه المواد في المياه الجوفية ومياه البحر على طول ساحل مدينة طرابلس.تم تعيين تركيز المواد ذات النشاط السطحي الأنيونية في مياه البحر لساحل مدينة طرابلس عند سبع نقاط تمثل مصبات الصرف الصحي في البحر في أربعة أشهر من السنة (النوار والطير وهانيبال والحرث).كذلك تم تعيين التركيز الكلي للمواد ذات النشاط السطحي الأنيونية في المياه الجوفية من الآبار القريبة من نقاط تدفق أنابيب مياه الصرف الصحي خلال شهري النوار والطير باستخدام طرق وأجهزة تحليل متقدمة.تشير نتائج هذه الدراسة بأن مستويات تركيز المواد ذات النشاط السطحي الأنيونية في عينات مياه البحر تتراوح بين0.003 -1046مليجرام/لتر وفي عينات المياه الجوفية (التي تم تجميعها من مياه الآبار القريبة من الساحل والتي تبعد مسافة 250-300م عن مصبات مياه الصرف الصحي) تراوح مستوى التركيز لهذه المواد مابين 0.141-0.77 مليجرام/لتر. كما تم تعيين تركيز المواد ذات النشاط السطحي الأنيونية في عينات قبل وبعد المعالجة التي تم الحصول عليها من محطة الهضبة – غرب طرابلس لتنقية مياه الصرف الصحي ومن خلال النتائج أتضح أن تركيز هذه المواد قل بعد المعالجة بنسبة 74%. Abstract House hold detergents contain in its active matters called surfactants. Some of these chemicals are toxic and carcinogenic. Tripoli city in Libya consumes tons of these detergents every year. The survey of Tripoli city market showed at least 100 brands of hair Shampoo contain anionic surfactant. The common anionic surfactant in Shampoo is Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. The concentrations of this chemical ranged between 2 to 19% in some Shampoo brands. These anionic surfactant after their use in cleaning ends up into the environment. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the levels and the concentration of anionic surfactant in sea water، ground water and treated water around Tripoli city in Libya.Anionic surfactants active matters concentrations in sea water were determined during four seasons in seven sites along Tripoli shore. These sites represent the wastewater effluent from Tripoli municipal pipes. The concentrations of total anionic surfactant in ground water were also determined during February and April at sits near the municipal pipes.The results obtained showed that the levels of anionic surfactant in sea water and ground water ranged between 0.003-10.46mg/L and 0.141-0.77mg/L respectively.Water from water treatment plant at Hadba station showed an average concentration reduction by about 74% for anionic surfactant.

Histone deacetylase 2 inhibitor valproic acid attenuates bisphenol A-induced liver pathology in male mice

Accumulating evidence indicates the role of endocrine disruptor bisphenol A (BPA) in many pathological conditions. Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibition has potential for the treatment of many diseases/abnormalities. Using a mouse BPA exposure model, this study investigated the hepatoprotective effects of the Food and Drug Administration–approved HDAC2 inhibitor valproic acid (VPA) against BPA-induced liver pathology. We randomly divided 30 adult male Swiss albino mice (8 weeks old; N = 6) into five groups: group 1, no treatment (sham control (SC)); group 2, only oral sterile corn oil (vehicle control (VC)); group 3, 4 mg/kg/day of oral BPA (single dose (BPA group)); group 4, 0.4% oral VPA (VPA group); and group 5, oral BPA + VPA (BPA + VPA group). At the age of 10 weeks, the mice were euthanized for biochemical and histological examinations. BPA promoted a significant decrease in the body weight (BW), an increase in the liver weight, and a significant increase in the levels of liver damage markers aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase in the BPA group compared to SC, as well as pathological changes in liver tissue. We also found an increase in the rate of apoptosis among hepatocytes. In addition, BPA significantly increased the levels of oxidative stress indices, malondialdehyde, and protein carbonylation but decreased the levels of reduced glutathione (GSH) in the BPA group compared to SC. In contrast, treatment with the HDAC2 inhibitor VPA significantly attenuated liver pathology, oxidative stress, and apoptosis and also enhanced GSH levels in VPA group and BPA + VPA group. The HDAC2 inhibitor VPA protects mice against BPA-induced liver pathology, likely by inhibiting oxidative stress and enhancing the levels of antioxidant-reduced GSH.
