Synthesis and characterization of 7-diethylamino-4-Chloromethyl coumarin: Spectroscopic analysis, molecular docking, and anticancer activity on large intestine carcinoma cells.

Cancer, characterized by uncontrolled cell growth and metastasis, poses a significant global health burden, ranking as a leading cause of mortality worldwide. Colorectal cancer (CRC) specifically accounts for a substantial portion of cancer cases, with increasing incidence projected over the coming decades. While conventional treatments exist, they often entail adverse effects and limited efficacy, driving interest in natural remedies like coumarin derivatives due to their diverse biological activities and perceived safety profile.

DNA and hemoglobin binding activities: Investigation of coumarin-thiosemicarbazone hybrids.

Coumarin and coumarin-thiosemicarbazone hybrids were synthesized and characterized by various techniques such as FT-IR, H NMR, C NMR, MALDI-TOF-MS spectroscopy, and single crystal X-Ray diffractometer (XRD). The photochemical and photophysical properties of the compounds, such as solvatochromism, solubility, and chemical reactivity, were analyzed using UV-vis spectroscopy in different solvents. Due to the potential biological activities of the synthesized compounds, their binding affinity and mechanisms with calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA) and bovine hemoglobin (BHb) were determined using several useful spectrophotometric and theoretical approaches such as UV-vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy, molecular docking, and density functional theory (DFT).

Release of microplastic fibers from synthetic textiles during household washing.

Textile materials are one of the primary sources of microplastic pollution. The washing procedure is by far the most significant way that textile products release microplastic fibers (MPFs). Therefore, in this study, the effects of various textile raw materials (A acrylic, PA polyamide, PET polyester, RPET recycled polyester and PP polypropylene), fabric construction properties (woven, knitted), thickness and basis weight values on MPFs release at different washing stages (pre-washing, soaping/rinsing) were examined separately.

The Role of Electron-Donating Subunits in Cross-Linked BODIPY Polymer Films.

A new method for synthesizing cross-linked 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacenes (BODIPYs) using a radical-based thiol-ene click reaction is developed. This method is simple, efficient, and cost-effective, and it produces polymers with unique optical, electrochemical, and surface morphology properties. Significant blue shifts in absorption and photoinduced electron transfer in emissions are observed in the cross-linked BODIPY thin films.

TQ-Ox, a novel synthetic derivative of thymoquinone on ovarian cancer cells .

There are many studies in the literature on thymoquinone (TQ)-related cancer cells and models, and there is no relevant study investigating the efficacy of the oxime derivative of TQ (TQ-Ox). This study synthesized TQ-Ox and examined its cytotoxic, genotoxic and apoptotic properties in ovarian cancer cells. The structure TQ-Ox was confirmed with NMR.

Hydrogen-bond-driven supramolecular helical assembly of a coumarin-substituted phthalonitrile derivative: synthesis and in vitro anticancer activity against colorectal adenocarcinoma.

Phthalonitrile derivatives are generally reported to crystallize in space groups P2/c and P1 in the literature. In this study, 7-hydroxy-4,8-dimethyl-3-pentylcoumarin (2) and its phthalonitrile derivative (2d) were crystallized; 2d crystallized in the rare trigonal space group R3. In the phthalonitrile derivative (2d), weak C-H.

Synthesis and photovoltaic properties of novel ferrocene-substituted metallophthalocyanines.

In this paper, a series of new metallophthalocyanines, including ferrocene groups, were designed, synthesized and, characterized, and their photovoltaic properties were investigated as alternative electron-donor materials in bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells. These products were synthesized by a Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction between tetraiodophthalocyanine and ethynyl ferrocene. The newly synthesized phthalocyanines (4-6) were characterized by FT-IR, UV-Vis, H NMR, and MALDI-TOF spectroscopic methods and elemental analysis.

Nutrient dynamics and eutrophication in the Sea of Marmara: Data from recent oceanographic research.

This work was implemented to study the physicochemical and biological characteristics of the Sea of Marmara and the Turkish straits (TSS: Bosporus and Dardanelles straits) for the period 2010-2013 and to calculate winter and summer fluxes of nutrients (nitrates, phosphates) between the Aegean and Black Seas through the TSS. The brackish Black Sea waters reach the Dardanelles Strait with modified biochemical properties. The salinity and phosphates of the surface waters increased westwards.
