Development and design of rGO-based nanocomposite-modified carbon-based electrodes are necessary to enhance the selectivity and desired selectivity of the voltammetric sensors. In this work, a manganese dioxide-reduced graphene oxide (MnO2-rGO) fabricated pencil graphite electrode is described for the detection of prucalopride (PRU), which is used to treat chronic idiopathic constipation. A simple cost effective hydrothermal method was used to synthesize the needle-shaped MnO2. The MnO2-rGO nanocomposite was characterized using XRD, SEM, and FTIR spectroscopy to examine its microstructure and morphology. The results revealed that MnO2 needles are distributed on the flakes of the rGO, thereby enhancing the electro-catalytic activity of MnO2-rGO/PGE. The electrochemical performance of the developed MnO2-rGO/PGE was examined using CV, chronocoulometry, SWSV, and DPSV methods. The diffusion-controlled oxidation of the PRU at the MnO2-rGO/PGE produces an irreversible peak in all the voltammograms which were used to calculate several electro-kinetic parameters like electron transfer coefficient (α = 0.598), diffusion coefficient (Do = 1.62 × 10−5 cm2s−1), surface coverage (Γo = 1.55 × 10−9 molcm−2), and effective surface area. Furthermore, advanced SWSV and DPSV methods are proposed for the accurate, selective, and sensitive detection of the PRU in pharmaceutical samples. The reported values of detection limit (LOD) for the proposed SWSV and DPSV methods are 20.39 μM and 14.53 μM, respectively, which make them eco-friendly and affordable alternative tools for the quantification of the PRU in pharmaceutical samples.

In this study, the synthesized two new ligands, namely bis(1H-benzo[d]imidazole-1-yl) methane [L1] and 1,2-bis(1H-benzo[d]imidazole-1-yl) ethane [L2], from benzimidazole. They chose 1,2-dibromomethane and 1,2-dibromoethane as they are widely used in environmental catalysis and as ligands in conjugated configurations. The researchers were able to synthesize the Cu(II) complexes, [Cu(L1)2]Cl2 or [1] and [Cu(L2)2]Cl2 or [2], at room temperature. They used several analytical techniques, including elemental analysis, magnetic moment measurement, UV–visible spectroscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy, FT-Raman spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy (including 1H, 13C, DEPT-135, HSQC, and HMBC techniques), ESI-MS analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and ESR spectroscopy, to characterize the synthesized compounds. They found that the ESR spectra of complexes [1] and [2] suggest that both metal complexes have square planar coordination spheres. In the DFT study of the geometrical optimization of both complexes, the central plane consists of the Cu metal atom connected to four nitrogen atoms. The Cu–N bond lengths are measured at 2.194 Å for [1] and 2.176 Å for [2] whereas the FMO theory's slight reduction in the HOMO-LUMO gap for [2] suggests that it is more reactive and less stable compared to [1]. In addition, the researchers tested the effect of these compounds on human cervical cancer cell lines (HeLa) which showed significant cytotoxic effects under laboratory conditions. Complex [2] had a significant inhibitory impact on the growth of cancer cells. The researchers also assessed the antioxidant effects of the ligands and metal complexes using DPPH, OH, and NO assays and found that [2] had the most potent inhibitory effect on the radicals, with IC50 values of 36.11 μM (DPPH), 28.18 μM (OH), and 26.20 μM (NO).

The scientific community is interested in increasing oxide electrochemical characteristics for supercapacitor applications. The present research explores the development of supercapacitor electrodes using Fe-doped NiO nanoparticles synthesised via chemical co-precipitation method with varied calcination temperatures (350, 550, and 750 °C). The key innovation of the work lies in the systematic investigation of the effects of calcination temperature on the electrochemical properties and structural characteristics of the Fe-doped NiO nanoparticles. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed a trend of increasing crystallite size with rising temperatures, and optical studies indicated a decreasing trend in the energy band gap from 3.67 eV to 3.23 eV. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy confirmed the metal-oxygen bond in the molecules. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HR-TEM) analysis showed the mesoporous spherical morphology of the nanoparticles. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) ensured the samples' elemental composition purity. Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) shows a specific surface area of around 180.8 m2/g was obtained for Fe-doped NiO nanoparticles at 350 °C. Electrochemical tests demonstrated that the Fe-doped NiO electrodes, especially calcined at 350 °C, exhibit superior specific capacitance values (635 F/g) and impressive cycle stability with 93.29 % capacitance retention after 5000 cycles. The present demonstrates the potential of optimizing calcination temperatures to enhance the electrochemical performance and stability of Fe-doped NiO supercapacitor electrodes, marking a significant advancement in supercapacitor technology.

The textile industries consume a considerable amount of freshwater and discharge untreated or semi-treated pollutants to the environment. Azo dyes, generally employed in textile manufacturing industries, have a hazardous impact on the ecosystem. Incomplete treatment of wastewater containing azo dyes discharges into the aquatic system, which has recalcitrant and toxic properties. Hence, the need for cost-effective and high-performing technologies is essential. In this direction, bacterial degradation is considered an economically viable and efficient technique for the treatment of Active blue (AB) dye. Polyurethane foam (PUF) is a low-cost and hydrophilic material with a microporous structure, which offers an excellent surface-to-volume ratio. Hence, PUF was preferred for the immobilization of isolated bacterial species. For this, a dye-degrading gram-positive bacteria namely Bacillus cereus GS2 IIT (BHU) was isolated from the petroleum sludge. A comparative analysis between free and immobilized cell systems was carried out by varying the process parameters, i.e., batch time, pH, temperature, glucose concentration, and initial AB dye concentration. The corresponding optimum conditions were found to be 6.0 days, 6.5, 30 °C, 1.0 g/L, and 50 mg/L, respectively. The immobilized cell system exceeds the dye removal efficiency (RE) by 10. 7 % compared to the free cell system. The packed bed bioreactor could be able to deliver 98.56 % of dye removal at an inlet loading rate of 30 mg/L d and 50 mg/L of initial dye concentration.

The paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on chemical stability, surface morphology, and thermo-physical properties of phase change material integrated with nano additives. The research aims to evaluate impact of varying nano-particle concentration on thermal performance of phase change material. The phase change material magnesium dichloride hexahydrate and potassium chloride mixed in different mass ratio along with different wt% concentration of nano-additives titanium dioxide and copper oxide to prepare novel phase change material. Characterization methods such as Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, Scanning electron microscope, Energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, and Differential scanning calorimeter analysis were employed. The Fourier transform infrared spectra indicated physical interactions between phase change material and nano-additives, while Energy-dispersive X-ray analysis confirmed elemental composition, and Scanning electron microscope demonstrated uniform distribution. The improved thermal properties of samples were reflected in their phase change enthalpy (284.57 J/g to 324.63 J/g), minimal energy loss (0.91 %–2.96 %), and low supercooling (0.3 %–5.26 %). Notably, doping with 1.5 wt% of titanium dioxide and copper oxide enhanced thermal conductivity by up to 117.07 % and specific heat capacity by up to 48.09 %. The introduction of nanoparticles significantly improves heat transfer characteristics, resulting in enhanced energy retention, reduced energy loss during phase transitions, decreased supercooling, and increased physical stability. These results suggest that optimized phase change material with nano-additives is highly effective for applications requiring stable and efficient thermal management.

Being a belligerent malignancy, triple-negative breast cancer poses unmet clinical challenges due to lack of targeted therapy, rapid growth rate and metastasis, high heterogeneity, and increased risk of recurrence. Diverse 1-(1H-indol-1-yl)-2-((5-aryl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)thio))ethanones have been synthesized in substantial yield (81-87 %) by clubbing 1-(chloroacetyl)indoles with substituted triazoles under refluxing conditions of 4-5 h. The indole integrates demonstrated substantial antitumor efficacy in the MTT assay against the MDA-MB-231 cell line and substituting indole moiety with a halogen (bromo) significantly improves the anti-breast cancer action of the synthesized hybrids compared to the unsubstituted ring. Compound 4i featuring halogen substituent on both the indole and phenyl moieties displayed the highest anticancer action with an IC50 value of 2.121 μM The synthetic variants exhibited a notable binding propensity against the EGFR-TK receptor (PDB ID:1M17). Through in-silico ADMET screening, the pharmacological proclivity of the title compounds has been convicted. The notable bioactivity of the indole hybrids projects them as a potential lead in developing anti-breast cancer medications, especially against TNBC.

We developed a multi-herbal formulation (MCCSSTAMP) containing Mentha piperita, Allium sativum, Syzygium aromaticum, Curcuma longa, Syzygium cumini, Trigonella foenum-graecum, Coriandrum sativum, Murraya koenigii and Piper nigrum which was found to be versatile for the development of novel medicines and cosmetic products. The formulation was prepared using a hydro-alcoholic base and its phytochemical composition was analyzed. The initial phytochemical analysis revealed that MCCSSTAMP contained various phytochemicals, with the highest concentrations of phenolic content. The antimicrobial, anti-oxidant, cytotoxic, and anti-aging properties of the MCCSSTAMP were explored. The formulation showed potent anti-microbial efficacy against various microorganisms, including antibiotic-resistant strains. MCCSSTAMP also demonstrated potent anti-oxidant activity, effectively scavenging free radicals and chelating metal ions. Furthermore, it exhibited cytotoxic activity against carcinoma cell lines, comparable to a standard chemotherapeutic agent cisplatin. The formulation has a potential anti-aging agent and skin-whitening additive due to its significant inhibitory activity against enzymes involved in the aging process, such as hyaluronidase, elastase, and tyrosinase. Our study claims that the efficacy was attributed to the synergistic effect of combining multiple herbs in the formulation. Further, it acted as a viable source of nutritional supplements for the nutraceutical industry, as all of the plants used in the formulation are edible, making it a promising candidate for cancer treatment research and its application in cosmetic products to address hyperpigmentation and maintain skin integrity.

The initial phytochemical analysis revealed that MCCSSTAMP contained various phytochemicals, with the highest concentrations of phenolic content. The antimicrobial, anti-oxidant, cytotoxic, and anti-aging properties of the MCCSSTAMP were explored. The formulation showed potent anti-microbial efficacy against various microorganisms, including antibiotic-resistant strains. MCCSSTAMP also demonstrated potent anti-oxidant activity, effectively scavenging free radicals and chelating metal ions. Furthermore, it exhibited cytotoxic activity against carcinoma cell lines, comparable to a standard chemotherapeutic agent <em>cisplatin</em>. The formulation has a potential anti-aging agent and skin-whitening additive due to its significant inhibitory activity against enzymes involved in the aging process, such as hyaluronidase, elastase, and tyrosinase. Our study claims that the efficacy was attributed to the synergistic effect of combining multiple herbs in the formulation. Further, it acted as a viable source of nutritional supplements for the nutraceutical industry, as all of the plants used in the formulation are edible, making it a promising candidate for cancer treatment research and its application in cosmetic products to address hyperpigmentation and maintain skin integrity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17276,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Indian Chemical Society","volume":"101 11","pages":"Article 101402"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142428656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
The pyrimidine nucleus is a vital pharmacophore that exhibits excellent pharmacological activity. A Schiff base containing a pyrimidine nucleus was obtained in two steps. This compound was assessed on the human prostate (PC3) and liver (HepG2) cancer cell lines using the MTT method. The prepared compound 3 was determined to have a high cytotoxic effect towards prostate cancer with an IC50 value of 9.32 μM. Since experimental prostate and liver cancer studies were examined, the molecular docking study's target structures were determined accordingly. In molecular docking studies, compound 3 interacted in silico with the crystal structure of the human HER2 kinase domain (PDB Id: 3PP0), the crystal structure of VEGFR-2 (PDB Id: 4ASD), and the crystal structure of EGFR tyrosine kinase (PDB Id: 4HJO), respectively. As a result of these interactions, binding energy values were calculated, and binding modes were determined. Additional in vitro and in vivo experiments targeting other cancer cell lines will provide deeper insight into the anticancer spectrum of this compound and new studies on this compound will be planned in the following years. Furthermore, optimizing and studying such pyrimidine-based Schiff base compounds for improved selectivity and potency against prostate cancer is also considered to be valuable as it may increase the potential to capture potential drug candidates.

Chitosan nanoparticles (CH NPs), ZrO2, Ni/ZrO2. CH/ZrO2 and CH/Ni/ZrO2 complex have been synthesized then its antibacterial mechanisms of nanomaterials against Escherichia coli (E. coli) was evaluated by agar well diffusion and systematically analyzed by measuring the diameter of the inhibition zone. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra and Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) results demonstrated the formation of CH/Ni/ZrO2 matrix. Also, the crystalline sizes were found to be 15, 13, 10 and 8 nm for ZrO2, Ni/ZrO2, CH/ZrO2 and CH/Ni/ZrO2 respectively. The FTIR spectrum revealed bands ranging from 400 to 800 cm−1, indicating the presence of metal–oxygen bonds. Additionally, bands at 1620, 1523, and 1300 cm−1 suggested the presence of amide groups, confirming the presence of CH in the produced CH/Ni/ZrO2 nanocomposite. In SEM analysis, the irregular spherical nanoparticles are observed in case ZrO2 and CH/ZrO2 samples, while spherical with an oval-shaped structure are observed in case of Ni/ZrO2 and CH/Ni/ZrO2 sample. Mean diameter of inhibition zone were observed to be 13 ± 2.51, 12 ± 2.08, 16 ± 1.3 mm,17 ± 2.3 mm and 18 ± 0.8 nm for CH, ZrO2, Ni/ZrO2, CH/ZrO2 and CH/Ni/ZrO2 respectively. The eco-friendly and cost-effective synthesis of Chitosan assisted Ni/ZrO2 NPs can be utilized as an effective antibacterial agent.

Sb2O3 and Ni modified Sb2O3 (Ni–Sb2O3) nanospheres were synthesized using low cost co-precipitation method and characterised using various instrumental methods such as X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRD), High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HR-TEM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The XRD pattern reveals cubic crystal lattice. The average size of Sb2O3 and Ni–Sb2O3 nanoparticles was calculated to be around 41 nm and 29 nm, respectively. The HR-TEM investigation of the Sb2O3 nanomaterial reveals homogeneous spherical balls with a fine dispersion. The random-shaped nanoparticles with porous surfaces and voids were revealed by SEM. EDS examination confirms the elemental composition of Sb (41.79 %) and O (58.21 %) in Sb2O3 and Sb (36.80 %), O (58.95 %), and Ni (4.25 %) in Ni–Sb2O3. Sb2O3 and Ni– Sb2O3 exhibit band gaps of 3.67 eV and 3.51 eV, respectively, according to UV–Vis analysis. The IR peaks 445.47, 642.18, and 745.18 in Sb2O3 and 438.72, 645.07, and 756.92 in Ni– Sb2O3 support the Sb–O bonding in the synthesized nanomaterials. The synthesized nanomaterials have been used for photocatalytic degradation of malachite green (MG) dye and sensing NO2, SO2, CO2, petroleum vapour and LPG gases. The MG dye was degraded 97.67 % in 120 min using Ni–Sb2O3 at optimized conditions (catalyst dose: 0.1 g/L to 0.3 g/L, pH: 7 and MG dye: 10 ppm). The gas sensing study showed that Ni–Sb2O3 sensor has greater sensitivity and selectivity for NO2 gas.
