Pregabalin (PGB) is a γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) alkylated analog prescribed to treat neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia, and postherpetic neuralgia. Using analytical, spectroscopic methods and molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, a detailed experimental and theoretical investigation was conducted into the binding process and interactions between PGB and double-stranded fish sperm deoxyribonucleic acid (dsDNA). It was evident from the collected experimental results that PGB binds with ds-DNA.

Oxide-derived metals are produced by reducing an oxide precursor. These materials, including gold, have shown improved catalytic performance over many native metals. The origin of this improvement for gold is not yet understood.

Pemetrexed is a well-known and widely used antineoplastic drug under the category of cytotoxic, folate anti-metabolites that is used in chemotherapeutic treatments, especially in malignant mesothelioma and non-small cell lung carcinoma. Here, the binding mechanism and interactions of Pemetrexed with double strain fish sperm deoxyribonucleic acid (dsDNA) were studied thoroughly both experimentally and theoretically, using multi-spectroscopic techniques and molecular docking simulations. Our ultimate goal is to understand better the potential of such antineoplastic drugs and, hence, to design drugs with high dsDNA binding affinities and fewer adverse effects.

The binding of an anti-diabetic drug rosiglitazone (RG) with calf-thymus DNA (CT-DNA) in physiological buffer (pH 7.4) has been investigated using various spectral techniques such as UV-Vis, fluorescence, H NMR and circular dichroism (CD) coupled with viscosity measurement and molecular docking studies. The binding of RG with CT-DNA results in small hypochromism without any change in absorption maximum and fluorescence quenching with hardly any shifts in emission maximum suggesting groove binding mode of interaction.

Established and recent hard X-ray spectroscopic methods in the form of conventional X-ray absorption near edge structure spectroscopy (XANES) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (EXAFS), and the photon-in/photon-out techniques high energy resolution fluorescence detection XANES and valence-to-core X-ray emission spectroscopy (VtC-XES) provide unique opportunities to study mechanisms in metal-organic reactions. The combination of these techniques allows the determination of the local geometric and electronic structures in the form of the numbers of nearest neighbours, their types and distances around an X-ray absorbing atom and the highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular levels. Different sample cells for this purpose, which allow high pressure, electrochemical or multi-spectroscopic measurements under inert conditions, are presented and discussed.
