Determination of Melting Point of 7-ethylxanthinyl-8-aminoalkanoic Acids' Derivatives by Open Capillary Method (CAT#: STEM-PPA-0075-YJL)
Introduction
Modern antibiotics and synthetic antimicrobial agents play a leading role in the treatment of bacterial infections. Despite their effectiveness, they cause a number of side effects, and thus the search for new antimicrobial and antifungal agents is currently one of the problems of pharmaceutical science of current interest. Literary data suggest that xanthine derivatives exhibit activity in relation to some strains of pathogenic microorganisms and fungi. It is of great significance to develop a method for the synthesis of new derivatives of xanthine-8-aminoalkanoic acids and to study their physical and chemical properties, as well as their antimicrobial and antifungal effects.
Principle
Melting point is a characteristic property of solid crystalline substance. It is the temperature at which the solid phase changes to the liquid phase. This phenomenon occurs when the substance is heated.
In all major pharmacopoeias the open capillary method is described to determine the melting point (slip point) for fats, fatty acids, paraffin, and waxes. In a glass capillary tube open at both ends (1), 10 mm of sample is introduced (2), chilled to a given temperature and immersed into a water bath (3/4). The melting point with open capillary, also known as slip point or slip melting point, is the temperature at which the substance begins to rise in the capillary due to the effect of the increasing temperature and buoyancy.
