groups in the gossypol molecule, various chemical
compounds are formed, in which the properties of
gossypol are formed by bonds such as covalent bonds,
ionic bonds, and hydrogen bonds. One of the unique
properties of the gossypol molecule is that it creates a
Van der Waals voltage due to the polarization of
electron shells as a result of the interaction of dipole
moments. Although these stresses are weak, they are
important in the formation of various combinations of
gossypol. In addition, there are several polymorphs of
gossypol, and in the crystal structure of these
polymorphs, gossypol molecules form an interlayer
and a tubular channel. These polymorphs are well
soluble in organic solvents with polar lower
molecular weight and form the corresponding
clathrates as a result of recrystallization (Honkeldieva
et al., 2023), (Honkeldieva et al., 2015).
In recent years, the production of various
medicinal preparations based on gossypol substance
has been launched. It is important that the chemical
composition of the gossypol substance does not
change during the storage period of the medicinal
product, and that additional intermediate products are
not formed under the influence of external factors.
The biochemical activity of gossypol polymorphs is
determined by its content of many functional groups
and the richness of hydrophilic and hydrophobic
bonds. This article describes the study of the
formation of appropriate clathrates by gossypol under
the influence of vapors of organic polar solvents.
Based on the results of the experiments, the stability
of the properties of gossypol and its changes under
the influence of heat were studied by the TG-DSC
method. The transformation of gossypol polymorph
substance in the initial crystal phases and formation
of corresponding clathrates was proved by X-Ray
Powder Diffraction X-ray phase method
(Honkeldieva et al., 2015).
2 MATERIALS AND METHODS
X-ray Analysis. The X-ray powder diffractions were
obtained using a Shimadzu X-ray diffractometer,
model LabX XRD-6100, using CuKa radiation
(λ=0.154 nm), current of 40 mA and operating
voltage of 40 kV. The instrument features a vertical
goniometer, and a linear scintillation detector with a
graphite diffraction monochromator. Aluminium
disks were used as sample supports, and the samples
were swept with incidence angles from 4 to 35, at 0.02
increments, 2 s per increment.
Thermal analysis. The thermal analysis system
was employed to acquire the simultaneous
Thermogravimetry and Differential Scanning
Calorimetry – TG-DSC curves (NETZSCH STA 409,
Germany). Dry air and nitrogen were used
individually as furnace atmosphere purge gases, with
a flow rate of 50 mL min-1 in both cases. The
temperature program consisted of heating the samples
from 25 to 350℃, at a heating rate of 10℃ min-1.
Samples weighing 5 mg samples were placed in
aluminum crucibles with a perforated cover. The
application possibilities comprised the whole
spectrum of TG and DSC analysis.
3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
A solid:gas phase was used to produce gossypol
clathrates by absorption method. In the case of P3
polymorph of gossypol, which has polycrystalline
properties in the solid phase (
Zhao et al., 2020), organic
polar solvent diethyl ether was chosen for the gas
phase. Diethyl ether is an aliphatic ether with the
chemical formula CH
3
-CH
2
-O-CH
2
-CH
3
. The boiling
temperature of diethyl ether is T=34.15℃, it is a
colorless liquid with a quick volatile and
characteristic smell. In medicine, diethyl ether is used
as a general pain reliever. A person who has worked
a lot with diethyl ether may develop an asthetic
tendency, as a result of which the disease "Ether
zombie" is observed, and this disease leads to a
decrease in memory and slowing down of physical
activity.
The conducted experiments are based on the
absorption of volatile diethyl ether vapors on the
surface of polycrystalline gossypol polymorph, as a
result of which the formation of the corresponding
clathrate was studied. A chemical hermetic vessel
was selected for the experiment, and a filter paper was
cut into a box shape, placed in a four-layer case, and
2 ml of diethyl ether solvent was poured into it. As a
result, a chamber saturated with diethyl ether vapor
was created and placed in this chamber after weighing
and determining the mass of two bulk scales. The first
sample was considered as a control and was placed in
a blank state without the gossypol polymorph 35 mg
(6,7∙10
-5
mol) of the P3 polymorph of gossypol was
taken into the second batch. Then, the hermetically
sealed container was closed and left for 24 hours to
allow absorption in the solid:gas phase. After one
day, the first and second samples were repeatedly
pulled, and it was observed that the mass of the empty
sample did not change, while the mass of the sample
containing the P3 polymorph of gossypol increased.
The ongoing experiment was continued until the mass
of the gossypol polymorph contained byuks reached
