This study investigates the effects of Pt and Ru complexes containing a Schiff base with a diimine structure on Alzheimer's disease. The Schiff base (N1E,N2E)-N1,N2-bis(isoquinolin-4-ylmethylene)benzene-1,2-diamine (I) and the novel Pt(II) and Ru(II) complexes (Ia and Ib) were synthesized and characterized using FTIR, NMR (H, C), mass spectrometry, and elemental analyses. Their ability to inhibit amyloid beta (Aβ) aggregation was determined in vitro using the SH-SY5Y cell line. Fluorescence spectroscopy investigated the early aggregation kinetics and dose-dependent characteristics of Aβ with the complexes. Transmission electron microscopy confirmed the results. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and H NMR spectroscopy examined the interaction with Aβ. Electrochemical analysis using square wave voltammetry monitored the interaction with Aβ. The synthesized complexes were active in inhibiting amyloid aggregation at a low molar ratio.

While bipolar disorder patients can benefit from lithium therapy, high levels of lithium in the serum can induce undesirable systemic side effects. Intranasal (IN) lithium delivery offers a potential solution to this challenge given its potential to facilitate improved lithium transport to brain when delivered to the olfactory mucosa. Herein, a sprayable, in situ forming nanoparticle network hydrogel (NNH) based on Schiff base interactions between chelator-functionalized oxidized starch nanoparticles (SNPs) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCh) is reported that can be deployed within the nasal cavity to release ultra-small penetrative SNPs over time.

Adsorption heat pumps (AHPs) have garnered significant attention due to their efficient use of low-grade thermal energy, eco-friendly nature, and cost-effectiveness. However, a significant challenge lies in developing adsorbent materials that can achieve a high uptake capacity, rapid adsorption rates, and efficient reversible release of refrigerants, such as ammonia (NH). Herein, we developed and synthesized a novel salt-embedded covalent organic framework (COF) composite material designed for enhanced NH capture.

To discover biorational natural product-based pesticides, a series of paeonol ester derivatives containing a Schiff base (, , , and ) were prepared, and their structures were well characterised by H NMR and HRMS. Furthermore, bioactivities of these compounds as anti-oomycete and anti-fungal agents against two serious agricultural diseases, and we assessed. Amongst evaluated compounds, 1) Compounds and displayed good anti-oomycete against , with EC values of 116.

Diabetic wound infections are a frequent complication for diabetic patients, and conventional treatment for combating diabetic wound infections relies on antibiotics. However, the misuse and overuse of antibiotics have led to the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria, making these infections challenging to treat. Thus, there is an urgent need for alternative strategies to effectively manage diabetic wound infections.

The present study aimed to enhance the fat quality of bakery products by incorporating an oleogel enriched with unsaturated fatty acids and nutraceuticals. The efficacy of cross-linking chitosan with vanillin was evaluated using an emulsion-template technique. This approach utilized a blend of rice bran oil and soybean oil fortified with β-sitosterol, which partially replaced conventional shortening in cookie formulations.
