Organotin Schiff bases as halofluorochromic dyes: green synthesis, chemio-photophysical characterization, DFT, and their fluorescent bioimaging .

Fluorescent bioimaging is an excellent tool in cellular biology, and it will be a powerful technique in modern medicine as a noninvasive imaging technology where tumoral and normal cells must be distinguished. One of the differences between normal and cancer cells is the intracellular pH. Therefore, the design and synthesis of pH-responsive fluorescent materials are required.

Study of the Effect of Metal Complexes on Morphology and Viability of Embryonated Toxocara canis Eggs.

An organic salt and four metal complexes derived from azole were evaluated against embryonated Toxocara canis eggs (TCE). The new organic salt, (LH)(FeCl), where L = 3,5-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazole-1-ylmethyl)toluene (5), a potential environmental disinfectant, was isolated as an air-stable yellow solid and characterized by elemental analysis, electrical conductivity, mass spectrometry, and infrared and ultraviolet/visible spectroscopy. In addition, the structure of 5 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

Fluorescent Molecular Rotors of Organoboron Compounds from Schiff Bases: Synthesis, Viscosity, Reversible Thermochromism, Cytotoxicity, and Bioimaging Cells.

We report the design, synthesis, and characterization of two new fluorescent molecular rotors of boron derived from Schiff bases: (2,4,8,10-tetra-tert-butyl-6-phenyldibenzo[d,h][1,3,6,2]dioxazaboronine (3) and 1,4-bis(2,4,8,10-tetra-tert-butyldibenzo[d,h][1,3,6,2]dioxazaboronin-6-yl)benzene (4), as well as the free ligand 2-[[(3,5-di-tert-butyl-2-hydroxyphenyl)imino]methyl]-4,6-di-tert-butylphenol 1. All compounds were fully characterized by NMR (H, B, and C), IR, UV/vis, fluorescence spectroscopy, and high-resolution mass spectrometry. The crystal structures of 3 and 4 showed tetracoordinated boron atoms with semiplanar skeleton ligands.

Microstructural, spectroscopic, and antibacterial properties of silver-based hybrid nanostructures biosynthesized using extracts of coriander leaves and seeds.

Coriander leaves and seeds have been highly appreciated since ancient times, not only due to their pleasant flavors but also due to their inhibitory activity on food degradation and their beneficial properties for health, both ascribed to their strong antioxidant activity. Recently, it has been shown that coriander leaf extracts can mediate the synthesis of metallic nanoparticles through oxidation/reduction reactions. In the present study, extracts of coriander leaves and seeds have been used as reaction media for the wet chemical synthesis of ultrafine silver nanoparticles and nanoparticle clusters, with urchin- and tree-like shapes, coated by biomolecules (mainly, proteins and polyphenols).

Genotyping, extracellular compounds, and antifungal susceptibility testing of Trichosporon asahii isolated from Mexican patients.

Trichosporon asahii is considered an opportunistic pathogen responsible for severe infections, mainly in immunocompromised patients. The aims of this study were to investigate the prevalent genotypes among 39 clinical isolates of this microorganism by sequencing the IGS1 region and to determine the in vitro production of DNAse, hemolysin, aspartyl proteinase, phospholipase and esterase, as well as the susceptibilities of the isolates to amphotericin B, anidulafungin, micafungin, caspofungin, voriconazole, posaconazole, fluconazole and 5-flucytosine. Our findings showed that genotype I was the most prevalent comprising 69.
