A comparative study for elaborating structural, magnetic, and electrical characteristics of solid solutions LaFe1-yAyO3 (y = 0.0 to 0.5 and A is either Cr+3 or Al+3) prepared via sucrose sol-gel auto-combustion route. The structure of the samples was studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), which proved the orthorhombic perovskite structure formation of all samples except for the sample with an Al-content of 0.5. The estimated crystallite sizes, as well as lattice parameters, showed a steady decline as substitution increased, owing to their ionic radii. FT-IR indicated a noticeable shift in the band centers of octahedral sites in the Al-substituted system with successive substitution. TEM exhibited agglomerated sphere-like. The Al-substituted system indicated both antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic in contrast to the Cr-substituted system, which indicated only anti-ferromagnetic ordering. The obvious increase in the magnetization with successive substitution was discussed in relation to the obtained crystallite sizes. AC-conductivity measurements indicated semi-conducting behavior with increasing conductivity by increasing substitution ratio, especially with chromium-substituted samples. The formed Al2O3 secondary phase for the sample with the Al-content of 0.5 indicated an obvious reduction in its estimated electromagnetic properties.

The radial Schrödinger equation is solved for an extension of a cosine hyperbolic type potential using the parametric Nikiforov-Uvarov method to obtain the energy equation and wave function. Using the condition of the diatomic molecular potential function, the screening parameter was calculated to suit the computations for different molecules. Numerical results are generated with three values of the potential parameter A for seven molecules. The calculated results with the three different values of A are compared with experimental results. The calculated results for all values of A are found to be in good agreement with the experimental results. However, the higher the value of A, the more disagreement between the calculated values and experimental data. This study shows that a non-molecular potential model reproduced experimental data even more than some molecular potential models.

Substituent effect on the electronic, structural, spectroscopic (IR and NMR) properties of H-C@Al12-para-C6H4X clusters was explored at CAM-B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level of theory. Selected substitutions were NH2, OH, Me, H, Cl, SiH3, CN, NC, NO2. Vertical ionization potential and vertical electron affinity of these molecules were computed. Frontier orbitals energy values and HOMO-LUMO gap of these clusters were evaluated. Substituent effect on the Al-CPh and AlH bond distances were indicated. These computed parameters revealed good linear correlations with Hammett's constants. Dipole moment, polarizability and first hyperpolarizability values were reported. Electronic effect of substituents on the chemical shift values of bonded C and H atoms to Al were illustrated. Most intensity vibrational mode of the studied cluster was determined.

In this study, we report the synthesis of a novel compound, 4-(((5-(naphthalen-2-yloxy)-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)methylene)amino)-5-propyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione (7b), which crystallizes in a triclinic system with a space group. The molecular structure was confirmed by single crystal XRD analysis. To further explore the compound’s properties, we employed density functional theory (DFT) using various functionals such as B3LYP, B3PW91, CAM-B3LYP, and HSEH1PBE with a 6-311G basis set. These computational approaches provided insights into the optimized molecular structure, vibrational frequencies (IR), NMR chemical shifts, frontier molecular orbitals (HOMO-LUMO), molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), and non-covalent interactions. A comparative analysis of the computational methods revealed that B3LYP produced the highest values for vibrational frequencies, NMR chemical shifts, and HOMO-LUMO energy gaps. Molecular docking studies further demonstrated that compound 7b exhibits significant binding affinity with the scores of −6.83 k/cal/mole and −10.58 k/cal/mole for 6LU7 and 7K40 proteins targets respectively against SARS-CoV-2, suggesting its potential antiviral activity. The correlation between experimental data and theoretical predictions supports the reliability of our computational methods and provides a comprehensive understanding of the compound’s structural and electronic properties.

A novel class of platinum containing anticancer agents, specifically aza‑platinum-dipyrromethenes (aza-PLADIPYs) has been developed and assessed. These were synthesized with the aim of being dual-acting anticancer agents, hypothesized to produce both DNA crosslinking chemotoxicity and phototoxicity. The aza-PLADIPYs displayed a distorted square planar structure, which unexpectedly included a PtC bond. We compared the activity of these agents to that of Photofrin® (a photodynamic therapy (PDT) agent) and cisplatin (a DNA crosslinking agent). These compounds did not exhibit any PDT activity. However, they demonstrated promising cytotoxicity against partial cisplatin-resistant human ovarian carcinoma (OVCAR5) cells. Among the tested compounds, Compound 4 (R = OCH3) exhibited the highest cytotoxicity, achieving approximately 78 % cell death at 250 μM, which is significantly higher than the 54 % cell death observed with cisplatin at the same concentration. Impressively, the aza-PLADIPYs displayed virtually no nephrotoxicity at concentrations up to 250 μM, when tested on HK-2 kidney proximal tubule cells, overcoming one of the major dose-limiting side effects of platinum containing anticancer agents.

Molecular hybridization has become a leading and highly effective method for creating new anticancer chemotherapeutic drugs. In this endeavor, new cyanoacrylamides with derivatives of sulphamethoxazole (5a-5f) have been created and verified utilizing different spectral instruments. The SRB assay evaluated the cytotoxic activities of the tested compounds against 16Lu, a human normal cell, and several human cancer cells (HCT116, MCF7, and HepG2). Among all derivatives, 5a and 5b had the most potent cytotoxicity effect against HepG2 cells with IC50 = 11.06 ± 0.829 and 18.836 ± 2.68 μg/ml, respectively. The binding affinities of 5a and 5b with DNA and BSA were studied using different spectroscopic techniques. Furthermore, molecular docking for 5a and 5b was performed to confirm the experimental results and anticipate their binding capabilities toward DNA and BSA. Thus, this work introduces promising antitumor lead compounds, encouraging further activity enhancement and therapeutic development studies.

The electrochemical coupling reactions of beta-nitrostyrene and 4-chloro-beta-nitrostyrene were reported. This is the first report on the electrochemical hydrodimerization of beta-nitrostyrenes. Moreover, the electrochemical processes were performed using the simplest conditions: constant-current (simpler than constant potential), simple and undivided electrochemical cell, employing non-expensive graphite and still electrodes, using green solvent (ethanol), and performing at room temperature. Using various cyclic voltammetry experiments, the effects of potential scan rate and pH on the electrochemical behavior of the reactant were investigated. Moreover, different reaction conditions such as pH, solvent, type of electrodes, and current density were optimized by examining the yield of the product. The optimized conditions were pH = 6, ethanol solvent, steel sheets as a cathode, graphite rod as an anode, and current density = 0.97 mA/cm2 (30 mA current). Moreover, using coulometry analysis, the number of exchanged electrons in this process was calculated to help find the possible mechanism. After the completion of the reactions, the structures of the products were confirmed using mass spectrometry, FT-IR, and NMR methods. It was found that only more thermodynamically stable meso configurations were produced, which makes the reaction diastereoselective. The plausible mechanism, which is obeyed from the EC electrochemical mechanism, was proposed for the two-electron transfer reaction.

This study investigates the corrosion inhibition potential of 7-(acetohydrazide-2-yloxy)-4-methylcoumarin (AMC) in 1.0 M HCl, emphasizing its efficiency at varying concentrations. The inhibitory performance was evaluated using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) to assess the effectiveness of AMC's in mitigating mild steel corrosion. The results revealed that AMC exhibited a peak inhibition efficiency of 90.7 % at 0.5 mM, demonstrating its exceptional protective ability. The adsorption process was found to follow the Langmuir model, confirming the formation of a stable monolayer on metal surface. To gain deeper insights into the inhibition mechanism, Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations were performed, revealing key electronic structure parameters and adsorption behavior of AMC at the molecular level. The findings highlight AMC a highly efficient and environmentally viable corrosion inhibitor in HCl solution, offering strong adsorption capabilities and long-term stability.

The study aimed to develop a SNEDDS to enhance the solubility and bioavailability of cyproterone acetate (CPA). Various oils, surfactants, and co-surfactants were evaluated for compatibility, with the optimized formulation characterized using Zeta-sizer, FTIR, DSC, and TGA. The SNEDDS was used to study the release and penetration of CPA for two and twenty-four hours, respectively. The lipolysis test, RBC lysis, and pharmacokinetics were among the study subjects. Particle size of 125 ± 5 nm, polydispersity index (PDI) of 0.15 ± 0.01, and zeta potential of −25 ± 2 mV were observed in the SCT3 formulation. The thermal stability and chemical compatibility were demonstrated by FTIR, DSC, and TGA. Ninety percent of the CPA released from SCT3 and 75 % of it permeated. SCT3 digestion produced a significant amount of CPA and minimal RBC lysis in the lipolysis test. The Caco-2 cell viability was 87 % according to the SCT3 SNEDDS. In comparison to the reference formulation, the pharmacokinetics of SCT3 demonstrated enhanced values of Cmax, Tmax, half-life, MRT, AUC, and AUMC. According to our research, the SNEDDS demonstrating high solubility and bioavailability in pharmacokinetic evaluations.

As a new tumor therapy with low side effects, photodynamic therapy (PDT) uses a certain wavelength of light to excite the photosensitizer enriched in the tumor site to produce biological and chemical toxic ROS, thereby killing tumor cells and inhibiting tumor growth. In this article, we prepared new photosensitizers 3-hexyloxymethyl-3-devinylchlorin e4 disodium salt (CEFO) and 3-n-hexylaminomethyl-3-devinylchlorin e4 disodium salt (CEFN) to investigate its anti-cancer effects and inhibition mechanism on the murine mammary carcinoma 4T1 cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. The results indicate that CEFO, with high phototoxicity and low dark toxicity, is capable of inhibiting the proliferation and metastasis of 4T1 cancer cells.
