A Schiff base (LS2) compound is synthesized via a reaction of a hot ethanolic solution of (3-ethoxy salcyaldehyde) and a hot ethanolic solution of amine(methyl-4-amino benzoate). The LS2 compound is characterized via H and C NMR spectra, Mass spectrum, and FT-IR spectrum. We observed multiple diffraction patterns of a cw 473 nm laser beam from the LS2 compound caused by spatial self-phase modulation (SSPM).

In the present work, a diazonium salt is prepared by a diazonium reaction of sulfamerazine in the presence of aqueous hydrochloric acid and sodium nitrate. Structural confirmation of azo compounds synthesize is achieved by mass spectrometry, infrared spectroscopy, and H, C nuclear magnetic resonance. The sample geometry is derived using Density Functional Theory (DFT) and DT-DFT applied to the basis set B3LYPL6-311 + G(d,p).

Background: Breast cancer is one of the most frequent malignancies in women, and it is a major cause of cancer death worldwide, as well as one of the leading causes of cancer mortality. Traditional herbal therapy has been widely used in some developing countries as a complementary and alternative technique. Because of their low toxicity, medicinal edible plants have been allowed to minimize the risk of breast cancer and other diseases.

Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) is a highly selective method that reduces the time and number of solvents used, has high efficiency, and is environmentally friendly. This study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant, anticancer, and antibacterial activities of Iraqi Terfezia claveryi desert truffle extract and silver nanoparticles by MAE using water and hexane as extraction solvents. Chemical compositions were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
