Ruthenium(II) Complex-Based Tetradentate Schiff Bases: Synthesis, Spectroscopic, Antioxidant, and Antibacterial Investigations.

In this work, we describe the synthesis of novel Ruthenium (II) complex-based salen Schiff bases. The obtained Ruthenium (II) complexes are characterized using usual spectroscopic and spectrometric techniques, viz., IR, UV-Vis, NMR (H and C), powder X-ray diffraction, and HRMS.

3D-QSAR, ADME-Tox, and molecular docking of semisynthetic triterpene derivatives as antibacterial and insecticide agents.

In the present work, 27 triterpene derivatives have been subjected to 3D-QSAR, ADME-Tox, and molecular docking for their insecticidal activity. The selected derivatives are previously semi-synthesized based on compounds obtained from and latex. The in silico studies were used to predict and to evaluate the antibacterial and insecticidal properties of the 3D structure of triterpene derivatives.

Chemical reactivities and molecular docking studies of parthenolide with the main protease of HEP-G2 and SARS-CoV-2.

We have used bioinformatics to identify drugs for the treatment of COVID-19, using drugs already being tested for the treatment as benchmarks like Remdesivir and Chloroquine. Our findings provide further support for drugs that are already being explored as therapeutic agents for the treatment of COVID-19 and identify promising new targets that merit further investigation. In addition, the epoxidation of Parthenolide using peracids, has been scrutinized within the MEDT at the B3LYP/6-311(d,p) computational level.

A Molecule of the Viridomycin Family Originating from a -Related Strain Has the Ability to Solubilize Rock Phosphate and to Inhibit Microbial Growth.

Some soil-borne microorganisms are known to have the ability to solubilize insoluble rock phosphate and this process often involves the excretion of organic acids. In this issue, we describe the characterization of a novel solubilizing mechanism used by a strain related to isolated from Moroccan phosphate mines. This process involves the excretion of a compound belonging to the viridomycin family that was shown to play a major role in the rock phosphate bio weathering process.
