In the present study, two novel series of compounds incorporating naphthyl and pyridyl linker were synthesized and biological assays revealed 5-((6-(2-(5-(2-chlorophenyl)-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-2-oxoethoxy) naphthalene-2-yl)methylene)thiazolidine-2,4-dione (14b) as the most potent dual inhibitors of vascular endothelial growth factors receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) and histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4). Compounds 13b, 14b, 17f, and 21f were found to stabilize HDAC4; where, pyridyl linker swords were endowed with higher stabilization effects than naphthyl linker. Also, 13b and 14b showed best inhibitory activity on VEGFR-2 as compared to others. Compound 14b was most potent as evident by in-vitro and in-vivo biological assessments. It displayed anti-angiogenic potential by inhibiting endothelial cell proliferation, migration, tube formation and also suppressed new capillary formation in the growing chick chorioallantoic membranes (CAMs). It showed selectivity and potency towards HDAC4 as compared to other HDAC isoforms. Compound 14b (25 mg/kg, i.p.) also indicated exceptional antitumor efficacy on in-vivo animal xenograft model of human colorectal adenocarcinoma (HT-29). The mechanism of action of 14b was also confirmed by western blot.

The electric conductivity and charge transport efficiency of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) dictate the effective utilization of built-in redox centers and electrochemical redox kinetics and therefore electrochemical performance. Reticular chemistry and the tunable microcosmic shape of MOFs allow for improving their electric conductivity and charge transfer efficiency. Herein, we synthesized two Ni-MOFs (Ni-tdc-bpy and Ni-tdc-bpe) by the solvothermal reaction of Ni ions with 2,5-thiophenedicarboxylic acid (Htdc) in the presence of conjugated 4,4'-bipyridyl (bpy) and 1,2-di(4-pyridyl)ethylene (bpe) coligands, respectively.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores advanced oxidation processes using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to improve the breakdown of synthetic dyes in wastewater.
- Four new MOFs were synthesized, each with different structures and coordination of cobalt ions, and were tested as catalysts for degrading the dye X3B through sulfite activation.
- Results showed that two specific catalysts (1/SO and 4/SO) had much higher efficiency in degrading X3B, while the others were less effective; the processes relied on factors like how well the dye was absorbed and the presence of coordination vacancies in the metal ions.
Responsive nanomaterials have emerged as promising candidates for advanced drug delivery systems (DDSs), offering the potential to precisely target disease sites and enhance treatment efficacy. To fulfil their potential, such materials need to be engineered to respond to specific variations in biological conditions. In this work, we present a series of pH/redox dual-responsive hybrid nanoparticles featuring an amphiphilic shell polymer and a pH-responsive core polymer.

Ligands combining two lateral bis-pyridyl-phosphonated-pyclens were synthesized, using a flexible linear pegylated linker (L2) or a bulkier K22 crown-ether (L3). A functionalized pyridyl-phosphonated-pyclen (L1) was also prepared as a mononuclear analogue. Coordination behavior of lanthanide cations was studied via NMR titration with Lu for L1, and UV/Vis and luminescence spectroscopy with Yb for L2/L3.

The localized drug action in tumors to overcome the side effects of chemotherapy has become an impetus for the development of photoactivated chemotherapy (PACT). As potential PACT agents, ruthenium(II) polypyridyl complexes have emerged as efficient photocages for anticancer agents.
