Determination of Melting Point of Novel Substituted Benzoxazole Derivatives by Capillary Method (CAT#: STEM-PPA-0117-YJL)
Introduction
The main objective of the medicinal chemistry is to synthesize the compounds that show promising activity as therapeutic agents with lower toxicity. Benzoxazoles have been reported to show a broad spectrum of biological activities. Notable among these are antihistaminic, antifungal, cyclooxygenase inhibiting, antitumor, antiulcer, anticonvulsant, hypoglycemic, anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic activity.
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.
