Activity relations

Water Activity. The rates of chemical reactions as well as microbial and en2yme activities related to food deterioration have been linked to the activity of water (qv) in food. Water activity, at any selected temperature, can be measured by determining the equiUbrium relative humidity surrounding the food. This water activity is different from the moisture content of the food as measured by standard moisture tests (4).

Apart from finding structures that give energy minima, most molecular mechanics packages will calculate structural features such as the surface area or the molecular volume. Quantities such as these are often used to investigate relationships between molecular structure and pharmacological activity. This field of human endeavour is called QSAR (quantitative structure and activity relations). 

For example, treatment of dione 12 with hydrochloric acid yielded furan 13, a key synthetic intermediate for the production of a variety of compounds that were recently investigated for anticancer activity. Related inquiries by members of the same research team identified furans derived from IS as potential treatments for RNA viruses. Furan IS was prepared by condensation of dione 14 with catalytic sulfuric acid in refluxing acetic anhydride. ... 

Acylation of norephedrine (56) with the acid chloride from benzoylglycolic acid leads to the amide (57), Reduction with lithium aluminum hydride serves both to reduce the amide to the amine and to remove the protecting group by reduction (58), Cyclization by means of sulfuric acid (probably via the benzylic carbonium ion) affords phenmetrazine (59), In a related process, alkylation of ephedrine itself (60) with ethylene oxide gives the diol, 61, (The secondary nature of the amine in 60 eliminates the complication of dialkylation and thus the need to go through the amide.) Cyclization as above affords phendimetra-zine (62), - Both these agents show activity related to the parent acyclic molecule that is, the agents are CNS stimulants... 

Multicomponent distillations are more complicated than binary systems due primarily to the actual or potential involvement or interaction of one or more components of the multicomponent system on other components of the mixture. These interactions may be in the form of vapor-liquid equilibriums such as azeotrope formation, or chemical reaction, etc., any of which may affect the activity relations, and hence deviations from ideal relationships. For example, some systems are known to have two azeotrope combinations in the distillation column. Sometimes these, one or all, can be broken or changed in the vapor pressure relationships by addition of a third chemical or hydrocarbon. 

Design verification and design validation are both activities related to investigations of the performance of the developed device. However, there are important features that distinguish them from each other ... 

This system includes measures and activities related to laboratory procedures, testing, analytical methods development and validation or verification, and the stability program.

This review will focus on pectic substances that have been shown to exhibit biological activity. Their structure, bioactivity and possible structure activity relations will be discussed. 

As mentioned in the introduction, various reviews over the last ten years show that many plants contain bioactive polysaccharides. Most of the plants studied were chosen due to their traditional use for different kinds of illnesses where the immune system could be involved. The following section will describe the pectic type polymers from the plants most studied for their structure, and activities related to the structure where possible.
