A New Proton Transfer Complex Between 3,4-Diaminopyridine Drug and 2,6-Dichloro-4-nitrophenol: Synthesis, Spectroscopic Characterization, DFT Studies, DNA Binding Analysis, and Antitumor Activity.

The proton transfer (PT) complexation reaction between 3,4-diaminopyridine (3,4-DAP), an important drug, and 2,6-dichloro-4-nitrphenole (DCNP) was investigated experimentally and theoretically. The experimental results indicated a chemical reaction occurred because of a hydrogen bonding, followed by proton transfer from the DCNP to the 3,4-DAP in different polar media. The Benesi-Hildebrand equation was used to estimate the formation constant (), molar absorptivity (ε), and other physical parameters.

Study on the Isotherms, Kinetics, and Thermodynamics of Adsorption of Crystal Violet Dye Using Ag-NPs-Loaded Cellulose Derived from Peanut-Husk Agro-Waste.

A huge amount of textile dyes are released as industrial waste into the environment each year, which alters the water's natural appearance and causes toxicity and carcinogenicity in the human body. Peanut husk is considered an agro-waste and contains many valuable compounds, such as cellulose. Different concentrations of cellulose were extracted from peanut husk and then loaded with bio-silver nanoparticles, which were fabricated using neem leaves () as a reducing agent to form Ag-cellulose nanocomposites (Ag-Cell-NCMs).

New Charge Transfer Complexes of K-Channel-Blocker Drug (Amifampridine; AMFP) for Sensitive Detection; Solution Investigations and DFT Studies.

UV-Vis spectroscopy was used to investigate two new charge transfer (CT) complexes formed between the K-channel-blocker amifampridine (AMFP) drug and the two π-acceptors 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano--benzoquinone (DDQ) and tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) in different solvents. The molecular composition of the new CT complexes was estimated using the continuous variations method and found to be 1:1 for both complexes. The formed CT complexes' electronic spectra data were further employed for calculating the formation constants (), molar extinction coefficients (), and physical parameters at various temperatures, and the results demonstrated the high stability of both complexes.

Synthesis, DNA binding and complex formation reactions of 3-amino-5,6-dimethyl-1,2,4-triazine with Pd(II) and some selected biorelevant ligands.

With the purpose of studying the binding behavior of Pd(II) complexes with DNA as the main biological target, and their ability to penetrate reasonably into tumour cells and destroy their replication ability, Pd(ADT)Cl2 complex was synthesized and characterized, where ADT is 3-amino-5,6-dimethyl-1,2,4-triazine. Stoichiometry and stability constants of the complexes formed between various biologically relevant ligands (amino acids, amides, DNA constituents, and dicarboxylic acids) and [Pd(ADT)(H2O)2](2+) were investigated at 25°C and at constant 0.1moldm(-3) ionic strength.
