This study aimed to determine the phytochemical profile, acute toxicity, and antioxidant activity of leaves, stem bark, and roots of methanolic extracts of Annickia affinis. Phytochemical screening was done to highlight the secondary metabolites present in the plant. The in vitro antioxidant activity was carried out using the DPPH free radical trapping method based on our extracts' reduction of the DPPH radical. This was evaluated by measuring the absorbance of all concentrations of extracts tested at 517 nm. Whereas the total phenol content was quantified using the reagent of “Folin-Ciocalteu,” measurable using a spectrophotometer at 765 nm. The in vivo acute toxicity study was conducted according to guideline 423 of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) protocol at a fixed dose in Wistar rats. Phytochemical screening of the different extracts revealed the presence of alkaloids, saponins, triterpenoids, anthraquinones, anthocyanins, and coumarins. The extracts of the leaves, stem bark, and roots showed good DPPH radical scavenging activity with IC50 values of 0.34 µg/mL, 0.37 µg/mL, and 0.22 µg/mL, respectively; these values were very close to that recorded for the standard, Butyl hydroxytoluène (BHT) (0.14 µg/mL). The total phenolic contents were 122.11 µgEqGA/g for the leaves, 47.11 µgEqGA/g for the stem bark, and 109.95 µgEqGA/g for the roots. An oral administration of all extracts did not cause an abnormal variation of the physiological parameters in female Wistar laboratory rats at doses of 2000 and 5000 mg/kg body weight up to 14 days after administration. The methanolic extracts of the leaves, stem bark, and roots of A. affinis are thus non-toxic at a dose as high as 5000 mg/kg body weight. They all have good antioxidant activity, the best activity recorded for the roots. It would be beneficial to suggest A. affinis to local populations against pathologies linked to oxidative stress after the preclinical and clinical tests.

Here, we have synthesized the hetero-atoms containing; 3, 4, 6–Triazabicyclo [6, 3, 1] dodeca–1 (12), 2, 6, 8, 10–pentene–5–thione (TBD) macrocyclic Schiff base ligand for the application in antituberculosis (anti-TB). This TBD ligand moiety has high donor ability due to the presence of three nitrogen donor atoms, which are also the reason for the interaction between the ligand and protein molecule. The TBD Schiff base ligand is characterized by various spectroscopic techniques such as; Fourier-Transform Infrared (FT-IR), Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1HNMR), and Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) and Electron Spray Ionization (ESI) Mass spectroscopy, to understand the bond stretching, the electronic environment of protons, electronic transitions (p–p* and n–p*), and M/Z values, respectively. The computational study was carried out to calculate the molecular docking score using AutoDock Vina software against the glutamine protein enzyme (PDB ID-3ZXR). The molecular docking score was –6.3 kcal mol-1 for the TBD Schiff base ligand, whereas –4.6 kcal mol-1 is reported for the standard drug (Pyrazinamide). The product formation yield of TBD Schiff base ligand is found to be ~78 % during synthesis.

The new anti-cancer and water-soluble curcumin derivatives have been synthesized solvent-freely by functionalizing the phenolic group of curcumin with various NH compounds to increase water solubility and cancerous properties. The biological applications of the new drugs have been investigated against the highly potent HepG2 carcinoma cell line. The studies showed that new curcumin derivatives could be used in low concentrations (µM/l<1) to avoid the anti-apoptotic properties against the cancerous cell. Also, the designed molecules with concentrations below 1 µM/l showed a good percentage of viability of 31.5, 45.3, and 66.7% against HepG2 cells. Furthermore, FTIR and 1H, and 13CNMR spectroscopy fully characterized the new curcumin derivatives.

Commelina obliqua Vahl. This plant is a member of the Commelinaceae family, commonly referred to as the dayflower family. An entirely new bioactive compound recently discovered and identified 3, 5, 7, 3' 4′-pentahydroxy flavone-7-O-L-ribopyranosyl-3′-O-D-galactopyranoside having a melting point 320-22°C, molecular formula C26H28O16, m/z [595-H]- ESI-MS negative mode by different chemical color reactions, chemical decomposition, and spectral analysis 1HNMR, 13CNMR, Electron spray ionization mass spectrometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. An in vitro anti-inflammatory test revealed significant anti-inflammatory effects besides the degradation of egg albumin. Compound M illustrated the more percentage inhibitory action (123.1974%) of protein denaturation at 500 μg/ml, and Diclofenac sodium demonstrated less inhibitory activity (120.0627%) at the equivalent combination. As a result, Compound M inhibits protein denaturation more effectively than Diclofenac sodium at the same combination. Therefore, compound M may utilize as an anti-inflammatory source.

This article reports the synthesis of seven Zn(II) complexes containing N-acylhydrazone ligands (L1 to L7) and the assessment of their antioxidant. Microwave assisted-synthesis of ligands with ZnCl2 in MeOH yielded tetrahedral Zn(II) complexes with a 1:2 metal: ligand ratio, characterized by HRMS, FTIR, and UV-Vis spectroscopy, thermal and electrochemical analyses, and DFT calculations. The (L3)2Zn complex exhibited the lowest thermal stability, and (L6)2Zn and (L7)2Zn were the most stable. XRD powder showed that all complexes have good crystallinity with crystalline dimensions ranging from 32 to 86 nm. Cyclic voltammetry of Zn(II) complexes indicated a reversible redox process for (L4)2Zn and an irreversible process for the remaining six complexes: (L1)2Zn to (L3)2Zn and (L5)2Zn to (L7)2Zn. Antioxidant activity of ligands and complexes was assessed by the DPPH method; the L7 ligand and corresponding (L7)2Zn complex exhibited good activity, IC50 = 65.30 μmol.l-1 and 78.70 μmol.l-1, respectively, when compared with standard ascorbic acid.

The present research prepared a ternary composite g-C3N4-MoO3/rGO using the ultrasonic-assisted wet impregnation method. The prepared photocatalyst was characterized by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and EDX(Energy dispersive X-ray) techniques. The structure and morphology of pure MoO3, g-C3N4, binary composite g-C3N4-MoO3, and ternary composite g-C3N4-MoO3/rGO have been studied in their photocatalytic performance in the degradation of Rhodamine B (Rh-B) was tested and compared. The ternary composite g-C3N4-MoO3/rGO exhibited better degradation efficiency of 80% than pure and binary composite. The synergistic effect of the three components resulted in enhanced light-capturing ability, high charge separation, and low recombination rate of electron-hole pair.

In this study, we describe the creation of a straightforward and incredibly effective protocol for the synthesis of new 3-Substituted indole derivatives. This multicomponent reaction involved indole, acetylacetone and active aldehyde derivatives in the presence of ethanol as solvent followed by acetonitrile as a base. We go through current developments in organic synthesis methodology for multicomponent reactions that produce substituted indole derivatives with a more environmentally friendly base catalytic condition, as well as the applications that go along with them. FT-IR, 1H-NMR and MS are used to characterise the synthesized compound of indole derivatives. Antibacterial activity of synthesized compounds has also been done.

In this research, we have described a facile and user-friendly protocol for the formation of 2((1H-Indole-3yl)(Phenyl)methyl)malononitrile derivatives using a recoverable and efficient TiO2 nanocatalyst. This protocol is simple and incredibly efficient for the synthesis of novel 2((1H-Indole-3yl)(Phenyl)methyl)malononitrile derivatives. Nanoscale TiO2 is used as the catalyst. Since TiO2 has more surface area easily binds with the active site of a reactive molecule and initiates the reaction. At last, TiO2 also recovered as it acts as a catalyst. This multi-component reaction involves indole, malononitrile, and active aldehyde derivatives in the presence of ethanol as solvent and TiO2 as a nanocatalyst. The synthetic methodology employed for multi-component reactions produces substituted 2((1H-Indole-3yl)(Phenyl) methyl) malononitrile derivatives with an environmentally friendly protocol under modest reaction conditions. This study shows that the recoverable and environmentally friendly TiO2 nanocatalyst is an effective material for the synthesis of 2((1H-Indole-3yl) (Phenyl) methyl) malononitrile derivatives with high yields, rapid reaction at room temperature, and effortless product isolation.
