SKU: STEM-PPA-0073-YJL
Rating: 5 (1 reviews)

Introduction

Amide derivatives were associated with broad spectrum of biological activities including antituberculosis, anticonvulsant, analgesicantiinflammatory, insecticidal, antifungal, and antitumor properties. Amide derivatives also show anti-platelet activity. When amides are conjugates with other aliphatic, aromatic and heterocyclic ring produces various type of biological activity. Amide derivatives are synthesize very easily by the reaction of substituted acid group (-COOH) with different substituted amines.

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.

Applications

Chemical industry; Cosmetic/pharmaceutical industry

Procedure

1. Prepare the substance.
2. Affix one of the capillaries to a thermometer.
3. Place the thermometer with an affixed capillary into a glass.
4. Increase the temperature.
