Six new bioactive ferrocene based phenylguanidines were successively synthesized and characterized by means of various analytical techniques like elemental analysis, FT-IR, multinuclear ((1)H and (13)C) NMR, UV-Vis spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The interaction of compounds with DNA was investigated by spectroscopic and cyclic voltammetric measurements. The interaction was found to be the electrostatic and the binding constants values were impressively larger. Compounds f-1, f-2, f-3 have slight larger binding constant values ranging from 0.8×10(5) to 2.4×10(5) as compared to g-1, g-2 and g-3 ranging from 7.6×10(4) to 1.1×10(5) which is most probably due to the presence of ferrocene at para position where the delocalization of electrons is maximum. Antioxidant activity was determined by UV-Vis spectrophotometer by using DPPH as a free radical. All the compounds exhibit good antioxidant activity and the results so obtained support the structure activity relationship.

Red algae are photosynthetic eukaryotes whose light-harvesting complexes (LHCs) associate with photosystem I (PSI). In this study, we examined characteristics of PSI-LHCI, PSI, and LHCI isolated from the red alga Galdieria sulphuraria NIES-3638. The PSI-LHCI supercomplexes were purified using anion-exchange chromatography followed by hydrophobic-interaction chromatography, and finally by trehalose density gradient centrifugation.

Upon exposure to salt stress, calcium signaling in plants activates various stress-responsive genes and proteins along with enhancement in antioxidant defense to eventually regulate the cellular homeostasis for reducing cytosolic sodium levels. The coordination among the calcium signaling molecules and transporters plays a crucial role in salinity tolerance. In the present study, twenty-one diverse indigenous rice genotypes were evaluated for salt tolerance during the early seedling stage, and out of that nine genotypes were further selected for physio-biochemical study.

The magnetization strategy of isoquinoline alkaloids has been successfully used in the extraction and isolation, but the effect of the magnetization on biological activities of those alkaloids still deserves further investigation. Therefore, the antibacterial, lipid-lowering and antioxidant activities of five isoquinoline alkaloids (berberine, tetrahydroberberine, palmatine, tetrahydropalmatine and tetrahydropapavine) before and after magnetization were compared in this study, and the results showed that the relevant activities were enhanced after magnetization. Additionally, among the five magnetic derivatives studied, berberine magnetic derivative ([Ber·H][FeCl]) had the best antibacterial effect on S.
