Li Professor of Biomedical Sciences Florenz Plassmann Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT LU, QIPING, Ph.D., May 2020, Molecular and Cellular Biology Investigation of the Zinc-Mitophagy Signaling in Hypoxic Cells Director of Dissertation: Yang V. Li Zinc is one of the most essential trace elements in the body. The concentration of intracellular free zinc is strictly regulated. The abnormal zinc concentration has been implicated in numerous clinical manifestations including ischemic stroke. Zinc homeostasis is achieved by proteins and organelles which sequester zinc or release zinc. Mitochondria are the power plants of the cell, the proper function of mitochondria is crucial for cellular metabolisms and physiological activities, their quality and quantity are regulated by mitophagy through selectively removing damaged mitochondria. Emerging evidence over the past decade has shown that zinc affects mitochondria in response to ischemia. It is progressively clear that zinc-mitochondrial interactions occur in and contribute to ischemic injury. Among the pathological effects of zinc accumulation on mitochondria, zinc induced release and accumulation of ROS draws special interest. ROS is a major cause of mitochondrial damage and initiates mitophagy.

ABSTRACT To develop and validate simple, rapid, linear, accurate, precise and economical UV Spectroscopic method for estimation of Climbazole in Climbazole shampoo. The drug is freely soluble in organic solvents such as Chloroform and Methanol. The drug was identified in terms of solubility studies and on the basis of melting point done on Melting Point Apparatus of Equiptronics. It showed absorption maxima were determined in Methanol: Water (50:50). The drug obeyed the Beer’s law and showed good correlation of concentration with absorption which reflect in linearity. The UV spectroscopic method was developed for estimation of Climbazole in shampoo dosage form and also validated as per ICH guidelines. The drug is freely soluble in organic solvents such as Methanol, Chloroform. So, the Analytical Grade Methanol: Water is used as a diluent in equal proportion for method. The melting point of Climbazole was found to be 93-94˚C (uncorrected). It showed absorption maxima 256 nm in Methanol: Water (50:50). On the basis of absorption spectrum the working concentration was set on 6µg/ml (PPM). The linearity was observed between 2-10 μg/ml (PPM).

The shampoo is prepared by using Antidandruff Agents Zinc Pyrithione. The other ingredients used are sodium lauryl sulphate as surfactant, urea as solubilizing agent, sodium EDTA as chelating agent, guar gum as foam stabilizer and thickening agent, distilled water is used as vehicle. It was evaluated for various test and the ranges were in acceptable limits. The Ph range was 6.5 to 9.0, physical appearance was off white color. percentage (%) of zinc contents ranges from 09.3 to 11.3%,particle size was in the range of 90%<1 Micron, Assay of (% ZPT) was 48% to 50%.The present research emphasizes about the preparation and evaluation of synthetic antidandruff cosmetic shampoo.

  • Improved Method for the Determination of Zinc Pyrithione
    Journal of Chromatography A, 1132 (2006) 157–164 Improved method for the determination of zinc pyrithione in environmental water samples incorporating on-line extraction and preconcentration coupled with liquid chromatography atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation mass spectrometry Jonathan Bones a, Kevin V. Thomas b, Brett Paull a,∗ a National Centre for Sensor Research, School of Chemical Sciences, Dublin City University, Glasnevin, Dublin 9, Ireland b Norwegian Intitute for Water Research, Kjels˚as, NO-0411 Oslo, Norway Received 1 June 2006; received in revised form 24 July 2006; accepted 28 July 2006 Available online 24 August 2006 Abstract A method has been developed for the determination of zinc pyrithione (ZnPT) in environmental water samples using monolithic reversed-phase silica columns for rapid on-line large volume solid phase extraction in tandem with on-line matrix removal using sacrificial strong anion exchange (SAX) columns. This is coupled with reversed-phase liquid chromatography with atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation mass spectrometric detection. Limits of detection in spiked river water samples, using a 200 mL preconcentration volume, were determined as 18 ng L−1, with a limit of quantitation of 62 ng L−1. The percentage recovery from spiked river water was found to be 72 ± 9(n = 3 extractions), whilst overall method precision, following 10 repeat complete analyses was found to be 27% RSD at 1 ␮gL−1. Linearity was determined over the concentration range of 0.25–10 ␮gL−1 and the calculated regression coefficient was R2 = 0.9802. The method was used to investigate the environmental fate of zinc pyrithione in waters and its partition coefficient between sediment and water phases.

The structure of this product was confirmed by X-ray crystallography, infrared spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. Keywords: pyrithione derivative; imidazoline derivative; tetrachlorocuprate(2-); X-ray crystallography 1. Introduction Coordination chemistry of pyrithione (N-hydroxypyridine-2(1H)-thione (Hmpo)), its heavy metal salts, and complexes have been widely investigated. Hmpo constitutes a universal O, S-donor ligand [1–4]. The infrared spectra of Hmpo indicates that the compound exists predominantly in its tautomeric thione form [5,6]. Recent UV spectra of pyrithione have shown that tautomeric equilibrium depends on the solvent used.
