A number of new substances were included into the (5Z)-5-[(2-piperidinequinoline-3-yl)methyl]-2-chloroquinoline structural framework. The condensation process 2-chloroquinoline, which served as a crucial reagent in the reaction with 3-carbaldehydes to produce 2,4-thiazolidinedione, allowed for the production of 1,3-thiazolidine-2,4-dione. The newly developed substances were described by means of their reactions with halide compounds, particularly those pertaining to substituted N-alkylation.

The intercalative yeast t-RNA binding behavior of some metallo-surfactant complexes, Co(ip)(TA)](ClO) () and [Co(dpq)(TA)](ClO) () where TA = Tetradecylamine (Myristylamine), ip = imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline and dpq = dipyrido[3,2-d:2'-3'-f]quinoxaline containing π-conjugated systems (both below and above critical micelle concentration) have been investigated by means of absorption spectral titration, competitive binding, circular dichroism, cyclic voltammetry, and viscometry measurements. Absorption spectral titration results implicate yeast tRNA has significant effects on the binding behaviors of two surfactant complexes intercalative mode showed a significant absorption band of hypochromicity with red shift. The intrinsic binding constant values below and above CMC were determined as = 6.

In this study, we report a new class of metallo-surfactant assisted silver nanoparticle produced by reduction process via AgNO solution and extract of Turnera Subulata (TS) in aqueous which act as reducing and metallo-surfactant [Co(ip)(CHNH)](ClO) (ip = imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline) act as stabilizing agent. In this study the silver nanoparticles produced using Turnera Subulata extract has showed yellowish brown color formation and an absorption peak at 421 nm signaling the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles. The presence of functional groups in the plant extracts were identified by FTIR analysis.

Electronic absorption spectroscopy was used to study the ETR of surfactant-cobalt(III) complexes containing imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline, dipyrido[3,2-d:2'-3'-f]quinoxaline and dipyrido[3,2-a:2',4'-c](6,7,8,9-tetrahydro)phenazine ligands by using ferrocyanide ions in unilamellar vesicles of dipalmitoylphosphotidylcholine (DPPC) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ((BMIM)Br), at different temperatures under pseudo-first-order conditions using an excess of the reductant. The reactions were found to be second-order and the electron transfer is postulated as occurring in the outer sphere. The rate constant for the electron transfer reactions was found to increase with increasing concentrations of ionic liquids.

The binding interaction of surfactant cobalt(III) complex, cis-[Co(bpy)(HA)](ClO), in which bpy is 2,2-bipyridine and HA is hexadecylamine or cetylamnine with DNA was through intercalative mode via the long aliphatic chains present in the ligands. The binding was investigated by various techniques, electronic absorption, fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD), cyclic voltametry (CV) and viscosimetry measurements. The spectroscopic studies together with cyclic voltammetry and viscosity experiments support that the surfactant cobalt(III) complex binds to calf thymus DNA by intercalation through the aliphatic chain present in the complex into the base pairs of DNA.

Background: Cancer remains a major health concern throughout history and is responsible for huge numbers of deaths globally. The sensitivity of cancer cells to anticancer drugs is a crucial factor for developing effective treatments.

Methods: Pyrrolo[1,2-a]azepines coupled with benzothiazole and fluorinated aryl thiourea scaffolds have been synthesized, and their potential as cytotoxic agents was investigated against different cancer cell lines such as human ovarian cancer (SK-OV-3), cervical cancer (HeLa), colon adenocarcinoma (HT-29) and non-small-cell lung carcinoma (A549).

Chrysin-based sulfonylpiperazines 7a-k were synthesized and investigated for their in vitro free radical scavenging potential as well as cytotoxic efficacies against selected cancer cell lines. Cytotoxicity of the new compounds toward noncancer cells was confirmed using the SRB assay against Madin-Darby Canine Kidney cells. Reaction of piperazine with different substituted benzenesulfonyl chlorides in triethylamine furnished sulfonylpiperazines (3a-k), which were then allowed to react with 7-(4-bromobutoxy)-5-hydroxy-2-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one (6) prepared reacting chrysin with 1,4-dibromobutane to give the final derivatives 7a-k.
