An AIE active luminogen derived using 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde and 3-hydroxy-2-naphthohydrazide for the detection of sparfloxacin and azithromycin.

Herein, an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) luminogen (AIEgen) NANH was developed by condensing equimolar amounts of 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde and 3-hydroxy-2-naphthohydrazide. The AIE behaviour of NANH was explored in a mixed DMSO-HO (HEPES buffer, pH 7.4, 10 mM) medium.

A facile synthesis of polyethyleneimine based fluorescent polymeric nanorods using vitamin B cofactor as cross-linker for ratiometric detection of doxorubicin.

Polyethyleneimine (PEI) based fluorescent polymeric nanorods with high quantum yield (87.21%) were synthesized by crosslinking and self-assembly of PEI by vitamin B cofactor pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP). The fluorescent PEIPLP polymeric nanorods were employed for the ratiometric detection of doxorubicin (DOX).

Unveiling the interaction, cytotoxicity and antibacterial potential of pyridine derivatives: an experimental and theoretical approach with bovine serum albumin.

The binding interactions between bovine serum albumin (BSA) and three pyridine derivatives, i.e., 2-(5-bromopyridin-3-yl) acetic acid (L1), 3-bromo-5-nitropyridine (L2) and 2-chloro-4-nitropyridine (L3), have been carried out using UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopic methods.

3-Hydroxy-2-naphthohydrazide: A Commercially Available Compound for Fluorescence Sensing of Ortho-Vanillin and Vanillin.

Vanillin and ortho-vanillin are the most important flavoring additives used in the food industry at a large scale. Herein, the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) behavior of commercially available 3-hydroxy-2-naphthohydrazide (3HN) was explored and applied for the detection of vanillin and ortho-vanillin. The weakly fluorescent 3HN in DMSO showed fluorescence enhancement at 500 nm with the increase in HEPES or PBS buffer (pH 7.

Exploring the anticancer and antioxidant potential of gold nanoparticles synthesized from bark extract against oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a disease of significant concern with higher mortality rates. Conventional treatment approaches have several drawbacks, leading to the opening of new research avenues in the field of nanoparticle-based cancer therapeutics. The study aimed at the synthesis of gold nanoparticles (Pm-AuNPs) from the aqueous bark extract of , followed by its characterization and anticancer evaluation against OSCC.
