Theoretical and experimental investigation of mixed-ligand metal(II) Schiff base complexes using maleic acid as the auxiliary ligand.

This work is focused on the synthesis of several transition metal complexes [ML(MA)], where M = Copper (II), Zinc (II), Cobalt (II) and Nickel (II), MA = maleic acid and L = Schiff base generated from benzene-1,2-diamine [phenylenediamine] and 4-chlorobenzaldehyde. The characterization using Fourier-Transform Infrared, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy, Ultraviolet-Visible spectra, Mass, Electro Paramagnetic Resonance and elemental analysis confirm the square planar geometry of the complexes. The antimicrobial potential of the complexes has been tested by the broth dilution method and the antioxidant method has been done by free radical scavenging analysis.

Influence of surface texture: A comparative study on antibacterial activities of morphologically tailored zinc oxide.

The morphology-dependent antibacterial activity of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles with three different morphologies, nanowall (NW), nanosphere (NS), and, nanorod (NR) was rigorously investigated to elucidate the influence of shape and size on their performance. Their morphological, surface, and structural characteristics were meticulously analyzed using SEM, BET, and XRD techniques. The antibacterial activity of synthesized ZnO samples was initially investigated and validated through in silico docking studies against nine bacterial strains, specifically targeting 1GCI, 2DCJ, 6KMM and 3T07, 6KVQ, 1MWT from gram-positive Bacillus sp.

Pharmaceutical manifestation of Knoevenagel condensed metal (II) complexes through virtual, and assessments.

Sulphur containing compounds possess a great deal of interest due to wide range of beneficial activities towards biotic species. This work also deals with the study of biological examination of newly synthesized sulphur containing Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes derived from (E)-4-(phenylimino)-3-((E)-1-(phenylimino)ethyl)pent-2-ene-1-thiol Schiff bases. Moreover, the DNA nuclease efficiency of the synthesized metal complexes is studied by UV absorption studies, Fluorescence studies, Viscosity and CV titrations which confirm the intercalative mode of binding.

Synthesis and characterization of chemical engineered PLGA nanosphere: Triggering mechanism of Catechol-O-methyltransferase inhibition on in vivo neurodegeneration.

Chemically engineered PLGA nanospheres are one of the emerging technologies for treating neurodegenerative disorders by inhibiting Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT). PLGA-MATPM nanospheres were chemically synthesized using PLGA and MATPM (N-allyl-N-(3-(m-tolyloxy)propyl) methioninate). The tailored PLGA nanospheres induce dose-dependent COMT inhibition in competitive kinetic mode.

Engineered graphene quantum dot nanocomposite triggers α-synuclein defibrillation: Therapeutics against Parkinson's disease.

Emerging clinically required α-synuclein (α-syn) inhibitor which acts as a neuroprotective nanocomposite drug is in increased demand as a patient-safe central nervous system therapeutic. This inhibitor is intended to chemically engineer graphene quantum dot (GQD) with blue luminescence, and stands to be a potential cure for Parkinson's disease. It has been theorized that α-syn aggregation is a critical step in the development of Parkinson's.

Synthesis, characterization, ADMET and o studies of mixed ligand metal complexes from a curcumin Schiff base and lawsone.

Complexes are currently synthesized from plant origin because of their therapeutic effect against certain diseases with toxicity. Hence, in this work, four new transition metal(II) mixed ligand complexes have been synthesized using a curcumin Schiff base (primary ligand) and lawsone (as co-ligand). The geometry of these complexes was explored by elemental analyses, molar conductance, thermal analysis, magnetic moment values, IR, NMR, Mass, electronic and EPR spectral studies.
