We report the first successful synthesis and characterization of a new polycrystalline compound, namely quaternary sulfide β-EuLuAgS3. The synthesis was carried out from stoichiometric mixtures of EuS, Lu2S3, Ag and S in a sealed ampoule at 1170 K. Compound β-EuLuAgS3 crystallizes in trigonal space group Rm with the unit cell parameters of a = 3.9784(7) Å and c = 9.985(2) Å. The crystal structure of the title compound exhibits a 3D framework of edge-sharing (Eu/Lu/Ag)S6 octahedra, where the metal cations Eu2+/Lu3+/Ag+ statistically occupy a single crystallographic site. Electronic structure studies confirmed the semiconducting nature of the material, with a band gap of 1.64 eV for direct and 1.18 eV for indirect transitions. Raman spectroscopy revealed characteristic vibrational modes between 150 and 500 cm–1, confirming the formation of a structurally ordered quaternary sulfide and providing a phononic fingerprint for the compound.

This work analyzes the effects of precursor concentration and deposition temperature on the surface and structural characteristics of zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films produced by aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition (AACVD). The results show an exponential rise in the deposition rate of ZnO films from 350 °C to 550 °C. Precursor concentration has a similar pattern, with a non-linear increase in deposition rate at precursor concentrations between 0.025 M and 0.15 M. The observed exponential and non-linear relationship between the rate of deposition, temperature of deposition, and concentration of the precursor solution has made it easier to control the thickness and quality of the film. These findings will lead to new developments in the future. According to FESEM, AFM, XPS, XRD, and UV–Vis characterizations, the ideal film had a thickness of 518.1 nm and an RMS roughness of 6.91 nm at 350 °C and 0.025 M. This work helps to optimize the production of ZnO thin films as electron-selective layers to enhance photovoltaic performance.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a prevalent metabolic disorder characterized by chronic hyperglycemia resulting from impaired insulin secretion or action. Inhibition of α-amylase and α-glucosidase is a widely accepted approach for controlling postprandial glucose levels. In this study, a series of 1,3,4-thiadiazole-based Schiff base derivatives (1–15) was synthesized and structurally characterized using NMR and HR-EIMS techniques. All compounds were evaluated in vitro for their inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase and α-amylase, with IC₅₀ values ranging from 28.60 ± 0.30 to 66.70 ± 0.50 µM and 6.60 ± 0.30 to 30.50 ± 0.30 µM, respectively. Compound 2 exhibited the highest potency against both enzymes, surpassing the standard drug, acarbose. Molecular docking supported the experimental data, revealing strong interactions with essential active-site residues. Additionally, ADMET analysis confirmed favorable drug-likeness and safety profiles. These findings suggest that thiadiazole-based Schiff bases are promising candidates for the development of safer and more effective antidiabetic therapies.

The development of effective cholinesterase inhibitors remains a key therapeutic strategy for the management of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease. In this context, the present study aimed to design and synthesize structurally diverse oxadiazole-based analogues and evaluate their inhibitory potential against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE). A series of substituted oxadiazole analogues (1–25) were synthesized and structurally characterized using ¹HNMR, ¹³CNMR, and HREI-MS techniques. The synthesized compounds were screened for their inhibitory activity against AChE and BuChE, exhibiting IC₅₀ values ranging from 14.11 ± 0.35 to 37.55 ± 0.14 µM for AChE and 17.15 ± 1.35 to 46.08 ± 0.43 µM for BuChE. Among the tested series, analogue 21 displayed the most potent dual inhibitory activity against AChE and BuChE (IC₅₀ = 14.11 ± 0.35 and 17.15 ± 1.35 µM, respectively). In contrast, analogue 25 showed the weakest inhibition, likely due to steric hindrance caused by the presence of a bulky benzyloxybenzene substituent. Furthermore, molecular docking studies were performed to elucidate the binding interactions of the most active analogues within the active sites of the target enzymes, providing structural insights that support the experimental findings.

The present study synthesized and analyzed two novel benzhydrazide derivatives, (E)-N'-(4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzylidene)-4-hydroxybenzohydrazide (HIB) and (E)-4-hydroxy-N'-(4-(2-morpholinoethoxy)benzylidene)benzohydrazide (HMB), and their structures were characterized using NMR, FT-IR, Fluorescence, and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The NMR spectra, electronic properties, vibrational frequencies, and molecular geometries of the synthesized compounds were examined using DFT/B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level and discussed their physical properties. Additionally, the compounds were tested against both positive and negative bacteria, and they demonstrated significant antibacterial activity. Antioxidant activity was assessed using the DPPH radical scavenging assay, demonstrating a dose-dependent response in both compounds, with HMB again exhibiting enhanced activity due to the presence of the morpholinoethoxy moiety. The anticancer activity was evaluated in vitro against HepG2 (liver) and A549 (lung) human cancer cell lines. The HMB and HIB compounds were subjected to molecular docking studies against the Penicillin-Binding Proteins (PBPs) of S. aureus and E. coli, aiming to assess their potential as antibacterial agents.

A new series of aryl 1,3,4-oxadiazole–quinazoline hybrids (10a–j) was designed, synthesized, and evaluated for anticancer activity. The target compounds were prepared through a sequential amination, Suzuki coupling, oxadiazole ring construction, and final cross-coupling strategy, and their structures were confirmed by NMR, HRMS, and IR spectroscopy. The synthesized compounds were screened for in vitro cytotoxicity against four human cancer cell lines—MCF-7 (breast), A549 (lung), Colo-205 (colon), and A2780 (ovarian)—using the MTT assay, with etoposide as the reference drug. Compounds 10a, 10b, 10c and 10d exhibited significant anticancer activity. In particular, compound 10a, bearing a 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl moiety, demonstrated the most promising anticancer activity MCF-7, A549, Colo-205 and A2780 cell lines with IC50 values of 0.21 ± 0.042 µM, 0.03 ± 0.0085 µM, 0.13 ± 0.077 µM, and 0.48 ± 0.069 µM respectively. Further, Molecular docking studies against HDAC2 supported the biological results by revealing favorable binding interactions. These findings suggest that aryl 1,3,4-oxadiazole–quinazoline hybrids represent promising leads for further anticancer drug development.

A new series of chalcone derivatives of [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridines (13a-j) were synthesized by the reaction between 2-(5-(8-(pyridin-4-yl)-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridin-3-yl)pyrimidin-2-yl)oxazole-5-carbaldehyde (11) intermediate and different types of aromatic ketones (12a-j) in the presence of piperidine in ethanol at reflux for 12 hrs time period. Further, these are screened against four human cancer cell lines such as human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7), human lung cancer cell line (A549), human colon cancer cell line (Colo-205) and human ovarian cancer cell line (A2780) by employing the MTT assay. The results are compared with etoposide as used as positive control. According the results most of the tested compounds showed good to moderate activity than positive control. The IC50 values ranges of compounds from 0.12±0.071 µM to 6.36±1.97 µM, as well as etoposide showed values ranges from 0.17 ± 0.034 µM to 3.34 ± 0.152 µM, respectively. Amongst, four compounds 13a, 13b, 13i & 13j exhibited remarkable activity than positive control. Specifically, the compound 13j with 3,5-dinitro electron withdrawing substituent on the phenyl ring displayed most promising activity against MCF-7, A549, Colo-205 and A2780 cell lines with IC50 values of 0.12±0.071 µM; 0.14±0.049 µM; 0.32±0.054 µM & 0.28±0.063 µM)

A series of unprecedented bisallenylphosphoramides was prepared using a two-step synthetic pathway from terminal propargyl alcohols. The structures of the synthesized compounds were characterized by various spectroscopic tools including IR, NMR (1H, 31P, 13C), as well as mass spectrometry and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Intermolecular interactions in the crystal structure were further studied and confirmed using Hirshfeld surface analysis.
