Novel energy- and material-efficient product purification and separation will play a crucial role due to altered product and feed composition. The present study comprises the synthesis and tests of cross-linked p-vinylphenylboronate polymers for the separation of 18 diols, sugar alcohols, and saccharides, which can be obtained during biomass processing. The separation was based on molecular recognition, that is, esterification of the phenylboronate with vicinal diols. A correlation of the molecular complexation constant, the polymer swelling, and the maximum adsorption capacity was found. The adsorption curves over time were recorded. Preliminary results on competitive adsorption of binary mixtures showed a high potential for the separation of substrates with significantly different complexation constants. Desorption tests implied easier desorption of substrates that only adsorb on the outer polymer shell.}, language = {en} } @article{ScheidelOestreicherMarketal.2022, author = {Scheidel, Sebastian and {\"O}streicher, Laurina and Mark, Isabelle and P{\"o}ppler, Ann-Christin}, title = {You cannot fight the pressure: Structural rearrangements of active pharmaceutical ingredients under magic angle spinning}, series = {Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry}, volume = {60}, journal = {Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry}, number = {6}, doi = {10.1002/mrc.5267}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-318838}, pages = {572 -- 582}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Although solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a versatile analytical tool to study polymorphs and phase transitions of pharmaceutical molecules and products, this work summarizes examples of spontaneous and unexpected (and unwanted) structural rearrangements and phase transitions (amorphous-to-crystalline and crystalline-to-crystalline) under magic angle spinning (MAS) conditions, some of them clearly being due to the pressure experienced by the samples. It is widely known that such changes can often be detected by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD); here, the capability of solid-state NMR experiments with a special focus on \(^{1}\)H-\(^{13}\)C frequency-switched Lee-Goldburg heteronuclear correlation (FSLG HETCOR)/MAS NMR experiments to detect even subtle changes on a molecular level not observable by conventional 1D NMR experiments or XRPD is presented. Furthermore, it is shown that a polymorphic impurity combined with MAS can induce a crystalline-to-crystalline phase transition. This showcases that solid-state NMR is not always noninvasive and such changes upon MAS should be considered in particular when compounds are studied over longer time spans.}, language = {en} } @article{SchlauersbachHanioLenzetal.2021, author = {Schlauersbach, Jonas and Hanio, Simon and Lenz, Bettina and Vemulapalli, Sahithya P.

We tested the impact of pharmaceutical polymers on this solubilization interplay using proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, and by assessing the flux across model membranes. Eudragit E, Soluplus, and a therapeutically used model polymer, Colesevelam, impacted the bile-colloidal geometry and molecular interaction. These polymer-induced changes reduced the flux of poorly water-soluble and bile interacting drugs (Perphenazine, Imatinib) but did not impact the flux of bile non-interacting Metoprolol. Non-bile interacting polymers (Kollidon VA 64, HPMC-AS) neither impacted the flux of colloid-interacting nor colloid-non-interacting drugs. These insights into the drug substance/polymer/bile colloid interplay potentially point towards a practical optimization parameter steering formulations to efficient bile-solubilization by rational polymer selection.}, language = {en} } @article{PoepplerLuebtowSchlauersbachetal.2019, author = {P{\"o}ppler, Ann-Christin and L{\"u}btow, Michael M. and Schlauersbach, Jonas and Wiest, Johannes and Meinel, Lorenz and Luxenhofer, Robert}, title = {Strukturmodell von Polymermizellen in Abh{\"a}ngigkeit von der Curcumin-Beladung mithilfe von Festk{\"o}rper-NMR-Spektroskopie}, series = {Angewandte Chemie}, volume = {131}, journal = {Angewandte Chemie}, number = {51}, doi = {10.1002/ange.201908914}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-212513}, pages = {18712-18718}, year = {2019}, abstract = {Detaillierte Einblicke in die Struktur von mit Wirkstoffen beladenen Polymermizellen sind rar, aber wichtig um gezielt optimierte Transportsysteme entwickeln zu k{\"o}nnen.

We observed that an increase in the curcumin loading of triblock copolymers based on poly(2-oxazolines) and poly(2-oxazines) results in poorer dissolution properties. Using solid-state NMR spectroscopy and complementary tools we propose a loading-dependent structural model on the molecular level that provides an explanation for these pronounced differences. Changes in the chemical shifts and cross-peaks in 2D NMR experiments give evidence for the involvement of the hydrophobic polymer block in the curcumin coordination at low loadings, while at higher loadings an increase in the interaction with the hydrophilic polymer blocks is observed. The involvement of the hydrophilic compartment may be critical for ultrahigh-loaded polymer micelles and can help to rationalize specific polymer modifications to improve the performance of similar drug delivery systems.}, language = {en} } @article{LambovHensiekPoeppleretal.2020, author = {Lambov, Martin and Hensiek, Nicola and P{\"o}ppler, Ann-Christin and Lehmann, Matthias}, title = {Columnar Liquid Crystals from Star-Shaped Conjugated Mesogens as Nano-Reservoirs for Small Acceptors}, series = {ChemPlusChem}, volume = {85}, journal = {ChemPlusChem}, number = {10}, doi = {10.1002/cplu.202000341}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-218014}, pages = {2219 -- 2229}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Shape-persistent conjugated mesogens with oligothiophene arms of different lengths have been synthesized. Such mesogens possess free intrinsic space between their conjugated arms. They form columnar liquid-crystalline phases, in which the void is filled by dense helical packing in the neat phase similar to an oligo(phenylene vinylene) derivative of equal size. The void can also be compensated by the inclusion of the small acceptor molecule 2,4,7-trinitrofluorenone. In solution, the acceptor interacts with the core as the largest π-surface, while in the solid material, it is incorporated between the arms and sandwiched by the star-shaped neighbours along the columnar assemblies. The TNF acceptors are not nanosegregated from the star-shaped donors, thus the liquid crystal structure converts to a nano-reservoir for TNF (endo-receptor). These host-guest arrangements are confirmed by comprehensive X-ray scattering experiments and solid-state NMR spectroscopy. This results in ordered columnar hexagonal phases at high temperatures, which change to helical columnar mesophases or to columnar soft crystals at room temperature.}, language = {en} }
