ABSTRACT:

The present paper deals with the study of sulphonylurea glipizide (GLP) drug in order to give a thought concerning its coordinating potentiality towards some inner transition metals. Metal complex of GLP drug issynthesized and characterized by using analytical data, molar conductance, X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA and DTA) studies. From the analytical data, the complex is proposed to have general formula(C21H26N5O4S)2Sm(OH2)4.Low values of molar conductance indicate that complex have non ionic nature. The conductometric titration using monovariation method reveal that complexis L2M type which is further confirmed by Job’s method of continuous variation as modified by Turner and Anderson. Geometery of complex is assigned to be hexagonal in which ligand molecules lie horizontally joining the central metal atomand four water molecules attached vertically and horizontally with the metal, supported by spectroscopic study. Powder X-ray diffraction data have been used to calculate particle size, porosity, volume of unit cell and density of synthesized complex.The thermal decomposition of complex is studied using thermogravimetric (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) techniques. The kinetic parameters such as, energy of activation (Ea), enthalpy (ΔH), entropy (ΔS) and free energy change (ΔG) of the complexis evaluated by employing the Freeman-Carroll and Sharp-Wentworth methodsand the relative thermal stability of the complexisalso discussed.

Introduction

The term diabetes mellitus describes a metabolic disorder of multiple etiologies characterized by chronic hyperglycemia with disturbances of carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action or both1. Currently diabetes mellitus is a great threat to the world community with more than 100 million persons suffering from diabetes. The prevalence and incidence of diabetes is increasing in most populations, being more prominent in developing countries as follows, in USA more than 16 million, in republic of China more than 14 million, in Africa more than 20 million. India leads the world largest number diabetic subjects and is being termed the “diabetic capital of the world”with 40.9 million people currently suffering from diabetes and expected to rise 69.9 million by 20252.

For treatment of diabetes, carbutamide became the first clinically useful sulphonylurea but it was later withdrawn because of its undesirable effects on the bone marrow. This compound led to the development of entirely novel class of oral antidiabetic’s viz. sulphonylureas. Tolbutamide and chlorpropamide were the first widely used members of this group. Since then, about 12000 sulphonylureas have been tested3-4. The first generation sulfonylureas are still in use, but are less effective than the more recently introduced second generation drugs like gliclazide, glimepiride, glibenclamide and glipizide5. An important difference between the older and newer sulfonylureas is a higher specific binding of the latter to pancreatic β-cells. Therefore, the newer sulfonylureas, such as glipizide, are more active6. Chemically, glipizide is a substituted aryl sulphonylurea.Its empirical formula is C21H27N5O4S, molecular weight is 445.55 and IUPAC name is 1-cyclohexyl-3-[[p-[2-(5-methyl pyrazine carboxami do)ethyl]phenyl]sulfonyl]urea7scheme 1.It is white to almost white crystalline odourlesspowder prepared by chemical synthesis. It is practically insoluble in water, alcohol and readily soluble in dimethylformamide (DMF). Its melting range is 208-209oC. 

Glipizide is one of the most commonly prescribed drugs for treatment of type 2diabetesmellitus8. Its main features are swift and short action with a very high selectivity9-10.It is about 100 times more potent than tolbutamide in evoking pancreatic secretion of insulin11. Major effect of glipizide is to enhance insulin availability following meals, whilstit has little influence on nocturnal glucose control12. The study of chemistry and chemical reaction of co-ordination compound help in establishing structure activities relationship. It has been reported that in biological activity metal complexes are more potent and less toxic as compared to the free ligand13-16. Recently, metals in medicine have been recognized internationally as an important area for research and much attention has been given to the use of sulphonylureas with inner transition metals because of their high complexing nature17-18.In this account, we have undertakenthe samarium(Sm)metalcomplex of glipizide drugfor study. The metal complex was characterised by using different physico chemical methods like elemental analyses (C, H, N, S and metal content), X-ray diffaraction and TGA/DTA techniques.

Experimental 

2.1    Ligand- Metal ratio

(a). To find out the ligand metal ratio, initially conductometric titration using monovariation method were carried out at 27±1 ºC and 0.005 M solution of glipizide drug was prepared in DMF(dimethylformamide).  Similarly, solution of samarium trioxide (Sm2O3) wasprepared in the ethanol of 0.01M concentration. 20ml of ligand was diluted to 200 ml with the same solvent. The ligand was titrated conductometrically against metal salt solution taken in burette using fraction of 1ml. Conductance was recorded after each addition with proper stirring. Results were plotted in the form of graph between corrected conductance and volume of metal salt added. From the equivalence point in the graph, ratio between ligand and metal were noted to be 2:1 (L2M).

(b). Formation of the complex in 2:1 (L2:M) ratio was also confirmed by Job’s method19of continuous variation as modified by Turner and Anderson,20usingconductance as index property Fig. 1 (a)-(b), from these values the stability constant (log k) and free energy change (DF), were also calculated by using formula21-24

2.2  Material and Method

All chemicals used were of the analytical grade (AR) and of highest purity available. They include pure sample of glipizide was received as a gift from M/s Zim Laboratories Limited Kalmeshwar (M.S.) India. The metal salt of (Sm2O3)obtained from Hi media Laboratory, Mumbai, India. Organic solvents used included absolute ethanol and DMF. De-ionised water was generally used in all synthesis.

2.3   Synthesis of metal complex

A weighed quantity of “Glipizide” (2 mol) was dissolved separately in minimum quantity of DMF. The solution of (Sm2O3) wasprepared by dissolving separately in the ethanol. Ligand solution was added slowly with stirring into the solution of metallic salt at room temperature; maintain the pH between 6.0 to 6.5 by adding dilute NaOH solution.  On refluxing the mixture for 3-4 h at 60oC and on cooling, light yellow crystal was collected by filteration, washed several times with DMF and ethanolfinally dried in vacuum and weighed.

2.4   Instrumentation

Molar conductance of complexwas measured by using Systronics Digital Conductivity meter. Melting point was determined by Perkin Elmer Model melting point apparatus and is uncorrected. The elemental analysis of the isolated complexwas carried out by using Coleman Analyzer Model at the Departmental Micro Analytical Laboratory, CDRI, Lucknow, India. X–ray diffraction studies was carried out by X–ray diffractometer model with 45kV rotating anode and Cukα (1W=1.54060A°) radiation at Punjab University, Chandigarh, India. The samplewas scanned in the range 10.0084 to 79.9804 (2θ) powder data were indexes using computer software (FPSUIT V2.0).

The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA/DTA) were carried out in dynamic nitrogen atmosphere (20 ml.min-1) with a heating rate of 10°Cmin-1 using shimatzu TGA-50H Thermal Analyzer at IIT Bombay, India.

3.3  Thermal analyses (TGA and DTA)

Thermal analyses techniques (TGA and DTA) are useful in both quantitative and qualitative analyses. Sample can be identified and characterized by investigating their thermal behavior. TGA measures weight changes while DTA measures temperature of transitions and reactions.The TGA curve for the SmIIIcomplex represents two decomposition steps within the temperature range of 50-600°C as shown in Fig. 3.The first step of decomposition with in the  temperature range from350-400°C (Calcd.Wt. loss:6.46%,found,6.98%) is accompaniedby the loss of water molecules. The second step ofdecompositionwithin the temperature range 450-500°C is 3.49may accounted for organic moiety in the complex.

According to the kinetic data obtained from DTA curves, Sm (III) complex have negative values of entropy, which indicate thatcomplex have more ordered systems 29. The values of ΔGis found to be positive for the complexwhich revealsthat the free energy of the final residue is higher than that ofthe initial compound and all the decomposition steps are non-spontaneous processes. Positive value of ΔH means that the decomposition processes are endothermic.
