The preparation of new active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) multicomponent crystal forms, especially co-crystals and salts, is being considered as a reliable strategy to improve API solubility and bioavailability. In this study, three novel imidazole-based salts of the poorly water-soluble salicylic acid (SA) are reported exhibiting a remarkable improvement in solubility and dissolution rate properties. All structures were solved by powder X-ray diffraction. Multiple complementary techniques were used to solve co-crystal/salt ambiguities: density functional theory calculations, Raman and H/C solid-state NMR spectroscopies. In all molecular salts, the crystal packing interactions are based on a common charged assisted N-H ⋯ O hydrogen bond interaction. The presence of an extra methyl group in different positions of the co-former, induced different supramolecular arrangements, yielding salts with different physicochemical properties. All salts present much higher solubility and dissolution rate than pure SA. The most promising results were obtained for the salts with imidazole and 1-methylimidazole co-formers.

This scientific paper presents a novel approach to explore and predict the potential of imidazole-based organic dyes for use in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs) using a machine learning web application. The design of efficient and cost-effective organic dyes is critical to enhance the performance of DSSCs. Traditional experimental methods are time-consuming and resource-intensive, making it challenging to screen a large number of potential dyes.

Context: In researching energetic materials with high energy density, it is an effective method to introduce explosophoric groups. In this study, four series of energetic compounds were designed by functionalizing with C- or N-, introducing energetic groups -CH(NO), -CF(NO), -C(NO)(NF), -C(NO), and-CH(NF) into imidazole and pyrazole structures. Density functional theory was employed to optimize the structure of the target compound and subsequently to predict and evaluate its performance based on this.

A series of novel 6-(4-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)phenyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-based p21-activited kinase 4 (PAK4) inhibitors were designed and synthesized based on the structure of lead compound GNE-2861 and that of anticancer inhibitors reported in our previous studies. All target compounds so designed were preliminarily screened in vitro for anti-tumor potency through kinase inhibitory assays and MTT assays, which revealed that most compounds exhibited significant inhibitory effects on PAK4 enzyme as well as prominent antiproliferative activities against four cancer cell models (A549, NCI-H1975, MDA-MB-231 and SK-BR-3) and low damage to healthy cells. In particular, the hit compound 12i was identified as the most effective and rather selective compound both at the enzyme and cellular level.

Article Synopsis
- Toxoplasmosis, caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii, affects about one-third of humans, and there's a need for new treatments due to the lack of effective options.
- Researchers used computational methods to screen 3000 compounds, ultimately identifying nine candidate compounds that were tested against T. gondii in the lab.
- Among these, C5 showed promising anti-parasitic effects by inhibiting parasite growth and replication, while also increasing reactive oxygen species levels, although it exhibited some toxicity towards host cells as well.

Arsenic contamination poses a significant health risk, particularly when it infiltrates water supplies. While current detection methods offer precise analysis, they often involve complex instrumentation not suitable for field use. This study presents a novel approach by developing two probes, A1 and A2, based on 4-diethylaminosalicyladehyde, 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde, and 1,2-diaminoanthraquinone.
