(2004, 2005, 2006). These new compounds have also shown weak antimycobacterial activity, as Waisser et al. (2007) has previously observed. During the study of their physicochemical properties, the melting points, solubility, surface activity, dissociation constants and some lipophilicity parameters, i.e. partition coefficients, retention factors from RP-HPLC and RM values from RP-TLC were determined by Malík et al. (2005, 2006). Except for experimental determination of the partition coefficient readouts, several different computer programs employing different calculation methods for the lipophilicity parameters prediction of prepared compounds were used by Malík et al. (2006). The inspected molecules (Table 1), because of being esters, may easily undergo hydrolysis, which is, in addition to oxidation, is the most frequent cause of chemical instability of the drugs. The results of the kinetics of hydrolysis of these compounds provide the fundamental reason for their stability.

Phenylcarbamic acid derivatives with integrated n-phenylpiperazine moiety in the... parameters, i.e. activation energy EA determined from temperature dependence of the rate constants. Following the evaluation of complex physicochemical properties of basic esters, the aim of this work is the study of kinetics of their alkaline hydrolysis. In terms of fundamental structural aspects, the influence of alkoxy side chain attached to phenyl ring as well as the substitution on N-phenylpiperazin-1-yl moiety within the structure on the stability is evaluated. The concentration of corresponding aniline produced by the reaction was determined spectrophotometrically in the visible region using the diazotization reaction with sodium nitrite and copulation with 2naphthole. The processing method has been previously described in Stankovicová et al. (1975). The hydrolysis rate of the compounds labelled as 8a, 8b, 8f and 8g was determined spectrophotometrically in the UV region by the method described in Stankovicová et al. (1978). MATERIALS AND METHODS Studied compounds The investigated molecules were synthesized by Malík et al. (2004, 2005) and their general chemical structure is shown in Table 1. All other chemicals and solvents used were analytical grade. Calculations The rate constants of the alkaline hydrolysis were calculated using the kinetic equation of the pseudo-first order described in Treindl (1990): ln(a - x) = ln a - kt , (1) Table 1. General chemical structure of studied compounds H N O R OH H O N N R Cl where k is the pseudo-first order rate constant, a is the starting concentration of studied substance, x is the concentration of substituted aniline, the product of decomposition. The Arrhenius activation energy EA values in Table 2 were derived by a least square analysis of plots of log k against 1/T. The values EA in Table 3 are calculated from the two values of rate constants: Compound 5d 5e 6a 6b 6d 6e 6i 6l 8a 8b 8c 8d 8f 8g R1 3-OCH3 3-OC2H5 2-OCH3 2-OC2H5 3-OCH3 3-OC2H5 4-OCH3 4-OC4H9 2-OCH3 2-OC2H5 3-OCH3 3-OC2H5 4-OCH3 4-OC2H5 R2 2´-F 2´-F 4´-F 4´-F 4´-F 4´-F 4´-F 4´-F 3´-CF3 3´-CF3 3´-CF3 3´-CF3 3´-CF3 3´-CF3 Mr 439.91 453.94 439.91 453.94 439.91 453.94 439.91 481.99 489.92 503.95 489.92 503.95 489.92 503.95 EA = 2.303 × R × T1 × T2 k log 1 T1 - T2 k2 (2) where R is the molar gas constant, T is the thermodynamic temperature and EA the activation energy (Treindl 1990). RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The kinetics of alkaline hydrolysis of the compounds 5d-- 8g, chemically 1-(2´-fluorophenyl)-, 1-(4´-fluorophenyl)-, and 1-(3´-trifluoromethylphenyl)-4-[3-(2-/3-4-alkoxyphenylcarbamoyloxy)-2-hydroxypropan-1-yl]piperazinium chlorides, was studied in this paper. The compounds contain alkoxy side chain with one to four carbon atoms attached to aromatic ring and, additionally, they differ in their basic character. It has been previously observed that the substances under the study possessed weak antiarrhythmic and moderate antimycobacterial activity. Their solubility in water is very limited and that is the reason for using ethanol in the reaction medium. In general, the derivatives of phenylcarbamic acid in alkaline medium undergo hydrolysis. They are decomposed to final products ­ substituted derivative of aniline, basic alcohol, in this case 3-(4-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)propan-1,2diol, and carbon dioxide, as drawn in Fig. 1. The goal of present paper is to evaluate the influence of described variations within the chemical structure of inspected molecules on the alkaline hydrolysis rate. First, we observed the kinetics of hydrolysis of such compounds containing a Apparatus Ultra thermostat Memmert WB 10, (Germany), a diode array spectrophotometer Vectra 8452 (Hewlett Packard, USA), spectrophotometer Spectronic 20 D (Milton Roy, USA) were used for the measurements. The hydrolysis of studied substances was carried out in aqueous--ethanol sodium hydroxide solution 0.1 mol dm­3 in closed flasks tempered in thermostat at several temperatures, e.g. 45.0 ± 0.5 °C, 50.0 ± 0.5 °C, 55.0 ± 0.5 °C, 60.0 ± 0.5 °C, 65.0 ± 0.5 °C and 70.0 ± 0.5 °C, respectively. The ethanol concentration was 50 % (v/v), the concentration of studied substances was 4 ´ 10-5 mol dm­3. Stankovicová M. et al. Table 2.

The course of alkaline hydrolysis of the studied compounds In Table 3, the values of the estimated rate constants are determined by spectrophotometry in the UV region for compounds in the series 8. Compared to the previously evaluated set 5d--6l, the rate of hydrolysis of the investigated molecules 8a--8g is also influenced by the substitution within basic part as well as by the position of the presence of the alkoxy group on the side chain. The values of half-lives vs temperature of meta-alkoxy substituted compounds are depicted in Fig. 3. The molecules 6d and 6e are hydrolysed more quickly than the ones containing 2´-fluoro substituent, 5d and 5e. The slowest rate of the hydrolysis is observed at 60 °C for the compounds 8d and 8c. The values of determined half-lives of meta-akoxy substituted substances are closer at higher temperature than at the lower one. At temperatures 55.0 °C and at 60.0 °C, the values of the rate constants are more differentiated and the influence of various substitution is more obvious. Fig. 4 shows the readouts related to para-alkoxy substituted compounds, their half-lives of the rate of hydrolysis against the temperature. The molecules 8f and 8g are hydrolysed more quickly than those with 4´-fluoro moiety, 6i and 6l. This is different in terms of previous findings where the substances bearing 3´-trifluoromethyl have shown higher values of rate constants. The explanation is possible in order to negative value of electronic substituent constants p of single fluorine atom attached to the phenyl ring versus the positive value of electronic constant m related to 3´-trifluoromethyl group. These substituent constants have been previously published by Hansch et al. (1973). They lead to the elevation of the hydrolytic reaction rate. In Table 4 the coefficients of the plots t1/2 against temperature is shown. Figure 2. The plot of t1/2 of hydrolysis rate against temperature for ortho-alkoxy substituted derivatives fluorine atom attached to 2´ or 4´ position on the aromatic ring. The course of their hydrolysis was observed by applying the spectrophotometry in the visible region. The calculated values of rate constants of alkaline hydrolysis are listed in the Table 2. The rate is influenced by the length of the alkoxy substituent, by its positional isomerism on phenyl ring as well as by the character of substitution on N-phenylpiperazin-1-yl moiety. The influence of different substituents of ortho-alkoxy substituted compounds on hydrolysis rate is demonstrated in Fig. 2 where the half-life t1/2 vs temperature is plotted. The compounds 6a and 6b containing a fluorine atom attached to para-position are hydrolysed more quickly at both temperatures 60 °C and 70 °C than the compounds 8a and 8b bearing meta-trifluoromethyl group.

The plot of t1/2 of hydrolysis rate against temperature for para-alkoxy substituted derivatives The values of activation energies are derived by a leastsquares analysis of plots of log k against 1/T or they can be calculated from the two values of rate constants. The most predictive kinetic procedures for the evaluation of stability are based on the Arrhenius equation, which expresses the temperature dependence of rate constant. The straight line obtained by this plot can be extrapolated to the temperature of storage of compound and the corresponding value of log k can be determined. However, the methods for determining the expiration date, which are based on the Arrhenius law, are valid only when decomposition is a thermal process and the order of magnitude of the activation energy is 42 to 126 kJ/ mol. According to Rácz (1989), when the Arrhenius equation is applied to the overall rate complex reactions, it becomes increasingly difficult to make an accurate stability prediction. The proposed reaction mechanism of the alkaline hydrolysis of aromatic carbamate by Dittert et al. (1963) assumes the formation of isocyanate as an intermediate in the second step of the reaction. The isocyanate is then decomposed to the derivative of aniline and carbon dioxide, so the process of decomposition of phenylcarbamic acid-based compounds is complex. The values of activation energy of these structures, summarized in the Table 3, are higher than the outputs in Table 2 where are the values EA of the compounds bearing 2´-fluoro or 4´-fluoro moiety within basic compartment. The values of EA of the derivatives with integrated N-phenylpiperazine moiety in the structure are lower compared to the ones determined by Stankovicová et al. (1987, 2009) under the same experimental conditions. The structure of currently analysed compounds is more complex than those studied earlier so presently investigated derivatives can be regarded as less stable. The higher activation energy, the more the reaction is hindered. Stankovicová M. et al. CONCLUSION The hydrolysis rate of the compounds under study was differentiated according to the substituent attached to N-phenylpiperazine as well as the positional isomerism of the alkoxy side chain. The hydrolysis of such derivatives containing alkoxy group in the ortho-, meta- or para-position is influenced by an induction effect. The presence of alkoxy substituent in the ortho- or in para-position leads to an increase in the electron density of the carbamate functional group. For this reason, the reactivity of such derivatives with http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Acta Facultatis Pharmaceuticae Universitatis Comenianae de Gruyter

The isocyanate is then decomposed to the derivative of aniline and carbon dioxide, so the process of decomposition of phenylcarbamic acid-based compounds is complex. The values of activation energy of these structures, summarized in the Table 3, are higher than the outputs in Table 2 where are the values EA of the compounds bearing 2´-fluoro or 4´-fluoro moiety within basic compartment. The values of EA of the derivatives with integrated N-phenylpiperazine moiety in the structure are lower compared to the ones determined by Stankovicová et al. (1987, 2009) under the same experimental conditions. The structure of currently analysed compounds is more complex than those studied earlier so presently investigated derivatives can be regarded as less stable. The higher activation energy, the more the reaction is hindered. Stankovicová M. et al. CONCLUSION The hydrolysis rate of the compounds under study was differentiated according to the substituent attached to N-phenylpiperazine as well as the positional isomerism of the alkoxy side chain. The hydrolysis of such derivatives containing alkoxy group in the ortho-, meta- or para-position is influenced by an induction effect. The presence of alkoxy substituent in the ortho- or in para-position leads to an increase in the electron density of the carbamate functional group. For this reason, the reactivity of such derivatives with
