The crystal structure of this complex showed that each Zn ...atom is in a distorted tetrahedral coordination environment, surrounded by two nitrogen atoms from each ligand and two hydroxide groups, each of which bridges to another Zn atom. The anticancer activities of the ligand and its metal complex against the breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) indicated that the zinc complex had a greater anticancer activity. The free ligand and its metal complex were evaluated for antioxidant activity using the DPPH scavenging method. In addition, the antibacterial activities of both compounds were screened against Gram-positive (
) and Gram-negative (
) bacteria. The interaction of these compounds with DNA and AChE was also investigated using molecular docking.

The ligand and the Schiff base complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, UV-vis, FT-IR and mass spectrometry, with the structure of CoL being determined by a single crystal X-ray structural analysis. In this complex, the cobalt is in a distorted trigonal prismatic coordination environment, surrounded by the six donor atoms of the deprotonated hexadentate ligand. In order to compare the experimental and theoretical data and determine structure parameters in all complexes, Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations at the B3lyp and BP86 levels with Def2-TZVP basis set have been carried out. NBO and QTAIM analyses have been used to describe the nature of M-O and M-N bonding in these complexes. The synthesized complexes were screened for their antioxidant activities using the DPPH free radical scavenging assay while their bactericidal activity was evaluated by the paper disc diffusion method against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, revealing strong antioxidant activities and moderate effectiveness against all bacteria tested. The cytotoxicity of the metal complexes was also investigated against AGS (gastric) and A549 (lung) adenocarcinoma cells.

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is among the leading causes of cancer related death. Despite of extensive efforts in identifying valid cancer prognostic biomarkers, only a very small number ...of markers have been identified. Several genetic variants in the 9p21 region have been identified that are associated with the risk of multiple cancers. Here, we explored the association of two genetic variants in the 9p21 region, CDKN2A/B, rs10811661, and rs1333049 for the first time in 273 subjects with, or without ESCC. We observed that the patients with ESCC had a higher frequency of a TT genotype for rs10811661 than individuals in the control group, and this polymorphism was also associated with tumor size. Moreover, a CC genotype for the rs1333049 polymorphism was associated with a reduced overall survival (OS) of patients with ESCC. In particular, patients with a CC (rs1333049) genotype had a significantly shorter OS (CC genotype: 34.5 ± 8.9 months vs. CG+GG: 47.7 ± 5.9 months;
p value = 0.03). We have also shown the association of a novel genetic variant in CDKN2B gene with clinical outcome of patients with ESCC. Further investigations are warranted in a larger population to explore the value of emerging markers as a risk stratification marker in ESCC.

To synthesize new symmetrical macroacyclic Schiff base ligands (L1 and L2), polyamine (A) was condensed with 2-formylpyridine and salicylaldehyde. Furthermore, Ni(ClO4)2.6H2O and Zn(ClO4)2.6H2O in ...methanol were reacted with the ligands to prepare corresponding metal complexes. The cytotoxicity of the synthesized complexes against MCF-7 and A549 adenocarcinoma cells was evaluated, where Zn-complexes displayed greater cytotoxic effects than Ni-complexes. Conductivity measurements, ESI-MS, UV-Vis, molar conductivity, IR, 1H, and 13C NMR spectra were used to characterize the products. Furthermore, molecular docking was performed to assess the biological activity of the complexes, and it was observed that Zn-complexes exhibited the highest inhibition effect against cytotoxic receptors.

Successful preparation of Cu(BDCNH2)-AuNTf2 catalyst has been proven by various techniques, including FT-IR, XRD, SEM, BET, EDS, ICP, and TGA. The synthesis of allylamino E-enamides with good yield and high stereoselectivity was carried out under mild conditions in the presence of AuNTf2 Nanoparticle catalysis. Clean method, easy catalyst manufacturing, high efficiency, and recyclability are the most important advantages of this procedure.

In general, Cd-complex possesses a higher cytotoxic effect against the tested cells than the Zn, and Mn-complexes. Besides, antioxidant activity assays displayed that Cd, and Zn complexes had significant antioxidant potencies compared to ascorbic acid and quercetin, due to the standards. In addition, the biological assessment of synthesized complexes was examined via molecular docking.

An X-ray crystal structure of MnL (ClO4)2, shows that the coordination environment around the manganese is a distorted trigonal prism. The nature of metal–ligand bonding in the complexes was investigated by Natural Bond Orbital analysis, Energy Decomposition Analysis and Energy Decomposition Analysis using Natural Orbitals for Chemical Valence variation. Molecular docking has been used for the biological evaluation of the anticancer and antioxidant activities of the synthesized compounds. The docking results indicated that the Cd, Mn, and Zn-complexes had the highest binding affinity (MolDock Score) for the binding sites of cytochrome P450, myeloperoxidase, and cytochrome P450, respectively.

Three new metal complexes have been obtained from the reaction of a new polyamine (L) with Ni(II), Cu(II), and Co(II) ions. The X-ray structural analysis of the Cu(II) complex shows that the copper ...atom is in a very distorted square pyramidal environment, coordinated by five of the six nitrogen donor atoms of the potentially hexadentate ligand. To evaluate the biological potential of the ligand and the synthesized metal complexes, their binding behavior with DNA was studied by molecular modeling methods. The Molecular docking studies showed that the free ligand and its complexes were bound to the major groove of DNA. The antioxidant activities of the ligand and its metal complexes were also assessed, in vitro, using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl. The synthesized compounds were tested for activity against lung carcinoma epithelial cells (A549) using the MTT cell viability assay. A comparative study of the IC50 values indicated that the Cu(II) complex exhibited the highest activity, while the Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes showed more potent antiproliferative activity than the ligand. The antibacterial activities of the synthesized complexes were evaluated using micro-broth dilution and disk diffusion methods. The complexes showed greater antibacterial activity than the free ligand.

Recent studies about innovations in GO/N‐Ligand‐Cu Nano‐Composites have been done. Graphene‐Oxide is improved with N1,N3‐bis (pyridin‐2‐ylmethyl)propane‐1,3‐diamine and after that is matched with ...copper (Cu). The chemical composition and the structure of the catalyst were analyzed by TGA/DTG, EDX, XRD, FT‐IR, TEM, and SEM. The results demonstrated that GO/N‐Ligand‐Cu was able to catalyze the chromeno2,3‐bpyridine compounds to obtain high yields in short reaction time. The results of the present work are hoped to assist the growth of a new class of heterogeneous catalysts as the high‐function candidate for industrial applications.
