Study on the Interactions of Antiemetic Drugs and 12-Tungstophosphoric Acid by Absorption and Resonance Rayleigh Scattering (CAT#: STEM-ST-0054-YJL)

Introduction

Prevention and control of nausea and vomiting is vital for the effective treatment of cancer patients. Tropisetron hydrochloride (TS) as well as granisetron hydrochloride (GS) are antiemetic drugs (ATM) which have proved to be effective in the prevention and treatment nausea and vomiting resulting from cancer therapy.
Twelve-tungstophosphoric acid, H3PW12O40·nH2O (TPA), a heteropoly acid of tungsten (VI) and phosphorus (V), belongs to a large class of nano-sized early transition metal oxygen ion complexes called polyoxometalates (POMs). The basic structural unit of TPA is the keggin anion. The distinctive and unusual physicochemical properties of POMs make them exceptionally suitable for various applications such as super-ionic proton conductors, catalysts, analytical reagents, and sensors.




Principle

Resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) is similar to Rayleigh scattering in nature. Resonance Rayleigh scattering is a special elastic scattering produced when the wavelength of Rayleigh scattering (RS) is located at or close to its molecular absorption band. The key to generating RRS is: when the scattering is at or close to the absorption band of the scattering molecule, since the electron absorbs the electromagnetic wave at the same frequency as the scattering frequency, the electron strongly absorbs the photon energy due to resonance and re-scatters. Its scattering intensity is several orders of magnitude higher than that of pure Rayleigh scattering, and it no longer obeys the Rayleigh law of I∝λ-4. This absorption-rescattering process is called resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS).

Applications

Resonance Rayleigh scattering is used to the study of aggregation of chromophores on biological macromolecules and the determination of biological macromolecules such as nucleic acid, proteins and heparin, further, it has been used in the determination of trace amounts of inorganic ions and the cationic surfactant by means of ion association reactions with some dyes. In addition, it has been applied to the study of nanoparticles in liquid and the determination of β-cyclodextrin inclusion constant and the critical micelle concentration of surfactant.
