Synthesis and characterization of novel indanone-based spiro-dihydrobenzofuran derivatives

In this study, the synthesis and characterization of novel indanone-based spiro-dihydrobenzofuran derivatives were examined. Firstly, chalcone-like compounds 4a–k, (E)-2-benzylidene-2,3-dihydro-1H -inden-1-one derivatives, were synthesized by the base-catalyzed addition of benzaldehyde derivatives to 2,3-dihydro-1H -inden-1-one. Then Mn(OAc) 3 -mediated addition of dimedone (2) to the chalcone-like compounds gave two novel spiro-dihydrobenzofuran isomers: (3S)-6,6-dimethyl-3-aryl-6,7-dihydro-3H -spiro [benzofuran-2,2’-indene]-1’,4(3’H ,5H)-dione (5a–k) and (2’S)- 6,6-dimethyl-2-aryl-6,7-dihydro-2H -spiro[benzofuran-3,2’-indene]-1’,4(3’H ,5H)-dione (6a–k) in good yields.

ANN-assisted forecasting of adsorption efficiency to remove heavy metals

In wastewater treatment, scientific and practical models utilizing numerical computational techniques such as artificial neural networks (ANNs) can significantly help to improve the process as a whole through adsorption systems. In the modeling of the adsorption efficiency for heavy metals from wastewater, some kinetic models have been used such as pseudo first-order and second-order. The present work develops an ANN model to forecast the adsorption efficiency of heavy metals such as zinc, nickel, and copper by extracting experimental data from three case studies. To do this, we apply trial-and-error to find the most ideal ANN settings, the efficiency of which is determined by mean square error (MSE) and coefficient of determination (R2).

Electrochemical responses of flexible graphite in H2SO4

Asymmetric capacitors are gaining attention due to their hybrid nature with higher power and energy density compared to individual batteries or capacitors. Electrochemical and structural characteristics of flexible graphite in 40% H2SO4 electrolyte are investigated using electrochemical and microscopy techniques. There is a correlation between intercalation of electrolyte and the enlargement of interlayer spacing and electrochemical response. Conditions favoring planar orientation are electrochemically less active and more stable in such corrosive electrolytes.

Design, synthesis, biological evaluation and molecular docking of novel molecules to PARP-1 enzyme

A total of 63 newly synthesized compounds were screened in terms of PARP inhibition by cellular PARylation assay in the HeLa cell line. It was found that 19 compounds significantly inhibited the H2O2 -induced cellular PARylation. The chemosensitizer effect of these compounds in cancer cells treated with doxorubicin (doxo) was investigated. It was found that the combination of potent PARP inhibitors with doxo potentiated a cytotoxic effect, similar to that of olaparib. The results of the molecular docking and absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) analysis revealed that compound 60 might be classified as a potential PARP inhibitor candidate. Taken together, all of the results suggested that carbohydrazide derivatives could be a promising lead for the treatment for cancer disorders.

Extraction of high-purity silica from rice husk via hydrochloric acid leaching treatment

The present paper aimed at the investigation of the effect of preliminary acid treatment on the structure and purity of extracted silica. In this study, the acid leaching of rice husk (RH) in 2 M hydrochloric acid solution before the calcination process at 600◦C was proposed to achieve completely white silica with high specific surface area and low content of impurities. RH, selected from the Almaty Region, Kyzylorda Region, and Turkestan Region was used as the main silica source. The results confirmed that the highest purity (98.2%–99.7%) amorphous silica with a specific surface area between 120 and 980 m2 g−1 could be extracted during acid treatment and controlled calcination. The structure is amorphous, porosity diameter decreased from 26.4 nm to 0.9 nm, and specific pore volume increased from 0.5 to 1.2 cm3 g−1 .

Magnetic solid-phase extraction based on Coriolus versicolor-immobilized γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles for preconcentration and determination of Al(III) in water and food samples

A method for preconcentration of Al(III) prior to its determination by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) was developed because the sensitivity of ICP-OES is insufficient for trace-level measurement of Al(III). The method is based on the use of Coriolus versicolor-immobilized γ-Fe2O3 magnetic nanoparticles as a solid phase sorbent. The best experimental conditions were found as pH 6.0, 2.0 mL/min flow rate, 100 mg amount of C. versicolor on 150 mg of γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles, and 500 mL of sample volume. The Al(III) absorbed on biosorbent was eluted with 5.0 mL of 1.0 mol/L HCl. Limit of detection, limit of quantitation, linear range, correlation coefficient, relative standard deviation, and preconcentration factor were achieved as 0.03 ng/mL, 0.11 ng/mL, 0.2 to 20 ng/mL, 0.9994, 3%, and 100, respectively.

On the azo dyes derived from benzoic and cinnamic acids used as photosensitizers in dye-sensitized solar cells

In order to get a better insight into the relationship between molecular structure and photovoltaic performance, six monoazo dye molecules containing benzoic and cinnamic acid moieties were synthesized and their photovoltaic properties were studied. Three of them have not been previously used in solar cells. Spectroscopic measurements of the investigated compounds coupled with theoretical calculations were performed. Short-circuit current density, open-circuit voltage, and fill-factor were determined. It was found that a larger amount of short-circuit current density will be generated if the HOMO–LUMO energy gap is lower, determined by the stability of the molecule and the electronic effect of the donor moiety.

Acetyl- and butyrylcholinesterase inhibitory activity of selected photochemically synthesized polycycles

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder and the main cause of dementia in the elderly population. Since the treatment of AD has been associated with the activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), their inhibitors remain the main focus of AD investigations. In this study we evaluated cholinesterase inhibitory activity of 14 bicyclo[3.2.1]octene/octadiene derivatives and naturally occurring sesquiterpene alcohol cedrol. These 14 compounds have been efficiently and ecologically prepared by a photochemical approach in batch photochemical reactors.

Molecular dynamics simulations of adsorption of long pyrene-PEG chains on a thin carbon nanotube

Carbon nanotubes have emerged as highly promising theranostic agents due to their unique structural/physical features, high surface area, and high drug-loading capacity. The high cytotoxicity of carbon nanotubes can be eliminated by noncovalent coating using hydrophilic polymers. We investigated the adsorption of long pyrene functionalized polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains, PEG2000 and PEG5000 , on a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) from a crowded solution. Full-atom molecular dynamics simulations in explicit water were used to mimic the experimental conditions of noncovalent PEGylation with a stoichiometry of one SWNT to ten pyrene-PEG.

Detection of lard contamination in five different edible oils by FT-IR spectroscopy using a partial least squares calibration model

Lard is defined as animal fat acquired from the adipose tissue of pigs and is not permitted for human consumption or external use by certain religions such as Islam and Judaism. Due to its low-cost availability for commercial use, it is often mixed with other vegetable oils mistakenly or deliberately and causes loss of consumer trust; hence, its detection in food products is essential. Consumers tend to know the authenticity of commercially available edible oils. However, edible oils are subjected to adulteration risks with lard, which breaches consumer rights.
