The aggregation behaviour of casopitant mesylate, a new NK1 antagonist drug, was investigated by means of NMR spectroscopy and surface tension measurements. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) in glycine buffer at pH 3.5 was determined by analyzing the (1)H NMR chemical shifts variation and the surface tension in function of the concentration in a series of solutions. The temperature dependence of the CMC was also evaluated by NMR spectroscopy as well as the thermodynamic parameters contributing to the aggregation discussed. Surface tension measurements were conducted as well in the formulation conditions, e.g. in the presence of sodium chloride.

Fractional deuteration applied to biomolecular solid-state NMR spectroscopy
Abstract Solid-state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance can provide detailed insight into structural and dynamical aspects of complex biomolecules. With increasing molecular size, advanced approaches for spectral simplification and the detection of medium to long-range contacts become of critical relevance. We have analyzed the protonation pattern of a membrane-embedded ion channel that was obtained from bacterial expression using protonated precursors and D2O medium. We find an overall reduction of 50% in protein...

One major remaining problem in structural biology is to elucidate the structure and mechanism of function of membrane proteins. On the basis of preliminary information from genome projects, it is now estimated that up to 50,000 different membrane proteins may exist in the human being and that virtually every life process proceeds, sooner or...
