Article Synopsis
  • This study utilizes DFT and spectroscopic techniques to explore how different solvent polarities affect biomolecular interactions and optical properties.
  • The research reveals that while general environmental effects influence molecular absorption spectra, specific effects significantly impact molecular emission properties, especially in the presence of strong hydrogen bonds.
  • Findings suggest that studying first-order nonlinearity in biomolecules can provide insights into their higher-order optical responses, highlighting 1-Indanone compounds as promising for optical device design.

A series of 4-ferrcenylbutyl carboxylate esters with different alkyl chain length (C-C) of carboxylic acids were synthesized using FeO@SiO@(CH)-Im-bisEthylFc[I] nanoparticles as catalyst and have been characterized with FT-IR, H NMR, and C NMR. Ferrocenyl-based esters were used as corrosion inhibitors of mild steel in the 1M HCl solution as corrosive media. The corrosion inhibition efficiency of the synthesized ferrocenyl-based esters has been assessed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization (PDP), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

For the first time, a novel aptamer was designed and utilized for the selective detection of rivaroxaban (RIV) using the integration of bioinformatics with biosensing technology. The selected aptamer with the sequence 5'-TAG GGA AGA GAA GGA CAT ATG ATG ACT CAC AAC TGG ACG AAC GTA CTT ATC CCC CCC AAT CAC TAG TGA ATT-3' displayed a high binding affinity to RIV and had an efficient ability to discriminate RIV from similar molecular structures. A novel label-free electrochemical aptasensor was designed and fabricated through the conjugation of a thiolated aptamer with Au nanoparticles (Au-NPs).

2,3-Dihydro-5,6-dimethoxy-2-[4-(4-alkyl-4-methylpiperazinium-1-yl)benzylidine]-1H-inden-1-one halide salt derivatives as a novel donepezil hybrid analogs with the property of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) enzyme inhibition were designed and synthesized via N-alkylation reaction of 2,3-dihydro-5,6-dimethoxy-2-[4-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)benzylidene]-1H-inden-1-one with some alkyl halides. Biological tests demonstrated that most of the synthesized compounds have moderate to good inhibitory activities effect on cholinesterase enzymes. Among them, 10e showed the best profile as a selected compound for inhibition of hAChE (IC50 = 0.
