In order to address the challenges associated with antibiotic resistance by bacteria, two new complexes, Ni(II) and Zn(II), have been synthesized using the conventional method based on Schiff base ligand (E)-2-((5-bromothiazol-2-yl) imino) methyl) phenol. The Schiff base ligand (HL) was synthesized using salicylaldehyde and 5-(4-bromophenyl)thiazol-2-amine in both traditional and efficient, ecologically friendly, microwave-assisted procedures. The ligand and its complexes were evaluated by elemental analyses, FTIR spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and magnetic susceptibility.

Article Synopsis
  • A series of novel 1,2,3-triazole and 1,2,3-triazoline glycosides were synthesized from d-arabinose to create hybrid molecules featuring sugar azide, with key steps involving the protection of hydroxyl groups and introduction of ethylene glycol.
  • The synthesis of azido ethyl-O-β-d-arabinofuranoside was achieved using sodium azide to replace a tosylate group, followed by a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction with various alkenes and alkynes to create new glycosides.
  • Characterization through various analytical techniques confirmed moderate to high antimicrobial activity against test microorganisms, alongside promising pharmacokinetic properties, with molecular docking analysis

Vigna unguiculata (L. Walp) or Cowpea pod methanolic extracts phytochemical analysis, total phenolic content (TPC), and secondary metabolite profiling were determined using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS) analysis. GC/MS analysis revealed twenty compounds in the extract, while LC/MS analysis identified twenty-four compounds.

In the present study, the use of low-cost, highly efficient, eco-friendly, and abundantly available (in Kashmir region, J&K India) willow leaves from which adsorbents like willow leaves powder (WLP) and willow leaves biochar (WLB) were prepared, have been found to be efficient for malachite green (MG) dye removal and can be used as an alternative to the current expensive methods of removing the same dye from an aqueous solution. The techniques like Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulphur (CHNS) analyser were used to characterize the samples without any chemical treatment. SEM of the adsorbents shows the presence of different sized pores, cracks, and crevices.

Novel Schiff bases of metformin hydrochloride and ()-nitrobenzaldehyde were synthesized by employing two efficient environmentally friendly methods, namely, stirring and microwave-assisted methods using water as the solvent. The advantage of microwave irradiation over the other methods was represented in the reduction of reaction time and wastes, and good yields; however, water in both methods plays the role of eco-friendly solvent. The structural properties of the ()-isomer products were analyzed by elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, UV-Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, C NMR spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

We are reporting herein for the first time the synthesis of α-aminophosphonates containing Indazole moiety in two steps. In the first step, imines of substituted N-benzylidene-1-methyl-1H-indazole-3-carbohydrazide are synthesized and in the next step it has converted to α-aminophosphonates using chlorotrimethylsilane (TMSCl) and triethyl phosphite. Some of the synthesized derivatives are evaluated for antibacterial activity against different bacterial strains.

A series of 3-(4-acetamido-benzyl)-5-substituted-1,2,4-oxadiazoles (7a-7n) were synthesized and screened for analgesic and in vivo anti-inflammatory activities using acetic acid writhing in mice model and carrageenan-induced paw oedema method in mice, respectively. The analgesic activity of compounds 7i and 7m is superior while that of 7d, 7c, 7f and 7j is equal to the reference standard, diclofenac sodium. The anti-inflammatory activity of compounds 6, 7c, 7e, 7f, 7i, 7l, 7m and 7n is found to be superior than that of diclofenac sodium which is used as a reference, while compounds 7d and 7g are found to be equipotent with the reference compound.
