Determination of Melting Point of 1-(2-Fluoro-4-Nitrophenyl)-4-(Prop-2-yn-1-yl)Piperazine Single Crystal by Open Capillary Method (CAT#: STEM-PPA-0105-YJL)

Introduction

Piperazine ring is of critical importance as a scaffold in one or more of the major drug classes and is the key pharmacophoric element in design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel therapeutic agents. Piperazine containing molecules are known to possess various biological activities. They have been reported as antivirals for effectively inhibiting human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) and human rhinovirus (HRV-3) infection. They show in vitro inhibitory activity on human platelet aggregation and as antifilarial agents with macrofilaricidal, microfilaricidal, female-sterilizing and larvicidal efficacy. They are also identified as serotonergic agents and melatonergic MT2 selective agents. Further, piperazine containing compounds are also known as analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antipsychotic, antidepressant, antifungal, antihypertensive and hypnotic. Piperazine is also a starting substrate for further molecular exploration to design and synthesize new compounds with wide biological activities.




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.
