Extraction: Effects of pH

Extraction: Effects of pH

Consider a neutral form of an amine, B, with a partition coefficient, K, in a liquid mixture containing organic and aqueous phases. The pH of the aqueous phase affects the charge on acidic and basic solutes, and the charged form is usually more soluble in the aqueous phase. Suppose the conjugate acid form of the amine is soluble only in the aqueous phase while the base form is soluble in both phases. Then the distribution coefficient, D, can be given as the ratio of amine concentration in the...

Composition of Polyprotic Acid Solutions as a Function of pH

Composition of Polyprotic Acid Solutions as a Function of pH

Polyprotic acids of the type H2M constitute two ionizable protons. As a result, on titration with a base, they exhibit two equivalence points in the titration curve. During titration, the species H2M, HM−, and M2− will be present in the solution at different points. The fractions of H2M, HM−, and M2− present at the various instances of the titration are denoted by α0, α1, and α2, respectively.
A graph with the alpha values is plotted against the volume of base added during titration. Here, a...

Background:

Monoolein (MO) cubic phases are advanced lipidic self-assembled systems with potential in controlled release applications.
Acidic proteinoids, derived from amino acids, offer tunable properties for biomaterial development.
Understanding pH-responsive mechanisms is crucial for designing targeted delivery systems.

Purpose of the Study:

To prepare a monoolein (MO) cubic phase incorporating an acidic proteinoid for pH-dependent release studies.
To investigate the influence of pH on the release kinetics of anionic and cationic dyes from the MO cubic phase system.

Main Methods:

An acidic proteinoid was synthesized via thermal condensation of Aspartic acid and Leucine.
Monoolein (MO) cubic phases were formed by hydrating molten MO with the proteinoid solution.
pH-dependent release of amaranth (anionic dye) and auramine O/methylene blue (cationic dyes) was evaluated.

Main Results:

The release of the anionic dye amaranth was enhanced under neutral and alkaline conditions due to electrostatic repulsion with the ionized proteinoid.
The release of cationic dyes (auramine O, methylene blue) was inhibited under neutral and alkaline conditions due to electrostatic attraction with the proteinoid.
These differential release patterns demonstrate pH-controlled modulation by the acidic proteinoid.

Conclusions:

The incorporated acidic proteinoid effectively modulates the release of charged molecules from the monoolein cubic phase in a pH-dependent manner.
This pH-responsive behavior suggests potential applications in targeted drug delivery systems where release is triggered by specific physiological pH changes.
