Abstract
Electrochemical hydrogen compression (EHC) is an emerging energy conversion technology. Proton exchange membranes (PEMs) with high proton conductivity and high mechanical strength are highly required to meet the practical requirements of EHC. Herein, ionic covalent organic frameworks (iCOFs) with tunable side chains were synthesized and introduced into the sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) matrix to fabricate hybrid PEMs. In our membranes, the rigid iCOFs afford ordered proton conduction channels, whereas the flexible side chains on iCOFs afford abundant proton conduction sites, adaptive hydrogen bonding networks, and high local density short hydrogen bonds for highly efficient proton transport. Moreover, the hydrogen bond interactions between the side chains on iCOFs and the SPEEK matrix enhance the mechanical stability of membranes. As a result, the hybrid PEM acquires an enhanced proton conductivity of 540.4 mS cm-1 (80 °C, 100%RH), a high mechanical strength of 120.41 MPa, and a superior performance (2.3 MPa at 30 °C, 100%RH) in EHC applications.

Synthesis of Tetracyclic Spirooxindolepyrrolidine-Engrafted Hydantoin Scaffolds: Crystallographic Analysis, Molecular Docking Studies and Evaluation of Their Antimicrobial, Anti-Inflammatory and Analgesic Activities. Molecules 2023; 28:7443. [PMID: 37959862 PMCID: PMC10650415 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28217443] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2023] [Revised: 10/19/2023] [Accepted: 11/01/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023] Open
Abstract
In a sustained search for novel potential drug candidates with multispectrum therapeutic application, a series of novel spirooxindoles was designed and synthesized via regioselective three-component reaction between isatin derivatives, 2-phenylglycine and diverse arylidene-imidazolidine-2,4-diones (Hydantoins). The suggested stereochemistry was ascertained by an X-ray diffraction study and NMR spectroscopy. The resulting tetracyclic heterocycles were screened for their in vitro and in vivo anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity and for their in vitro antimicrobial potency. In vitro antibacterial screening revealed that several derivatives exhibited remarkable growth inhibition against different targeted microorganisms. All tested compounds showed excellent activity against the Micrococccus luteus strain (93.75 µg/mL ≤ MIC ≤ 375 µg/mL) as compared to the reference drug tetracycline (MIC = 500 µg/mL). Compound 4e bearing a p-chlorophenyl group on the pyrrolidine ring exhibited the greatest antifungal potential toward Candida albicans and Candida krusei (MIC values of 23.43 µg/mL and 46.87 µg/mL, respectively) as compared to Amphotericin B (MIC = 31.25 and 62.50 µg/mL, respectively). The target compounds were also tested in vitro against the lipoxygenase-5 (LOX-5) enzyme. Compounds 4i and 4l showed significant inhibitory activity with IC50 = 1.09 mg/mL and IC50 = 1.01 mg/mL, respectively, more potent than the parent drug, diclofenac sodium (IC50 = 1.19 mg/mL). In addition, in vivo evaluation of anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity of these spirooxindoles were assessed through carrageenan-induced paw edema and acetic acid-induced writhing assays, respectively, revealing promising results. In silico molecular docking and predictive ADMET studies for the more active spirocompounds were also carried out.

Abstract
Side-chain engineering of covalent organic frameworks as advanced ion conductors is a critical issue to be explored. Herein, ionic covalent organic framework membranes (iCOFMs) with spacer-engineered ionic channel are de novo designed and prepared. The ionic channels are decorated with side chains comprising spacers having different carbon chain lengths and the -SO3 H groups at the end. Attributed to the synergistic contribution from the spacers and the -SO3 H groups, the iCOFM with moderate-length spacer exhibit the highest through-plane proton conductivity of 889 mS cm-1 at 90 °C.

Abstract
The demand for metal nanoparticles is increasing with the widening application areas while causing environmental impact including pollution, toxic byproduct generation and depletion of natural resources. Incorporating natural materials in nanoparticle synthesis can contribute toward environmental sustainability. This paper is concerned with the biogenic synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs) mediated by the plant species Phragmites australis. UV-vis, FT-IR, TEM and SEM studies were used to characterize the obtained CuONPs. The synthesized nanoparticles' antibacterial efficacy against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus was assessed. The CuONPs' reducing power, total phenolic component content, and flavonoid content were all calculated. Additionally, the dye removal abilities of copper oxide nanoparticles using Brilliant Blue R-250 were studied. The CuONP synthesis was assessed morphological by change of color and in the UV-vis analysis by the SPR band around 320 and 360 nm. FT-IR was used to monitor the functional groups present in the synthesized CuONPs. The obtained CuONPs were spherical and between 70 and 142 nm in size, according to the SEM data and TEM analyses were in accordance with SEM results. Using disk diffusion, the CuONPs demonstrated substantial antibacterial efficacy against S. aureus and E. coli, with inhibition zones of 18.5 ± 0.8 and 12.7 ± 0.6 mm, respectively. The MBC and MIC values were 62.5 μg/mL against S. aureus and 125 μg/mL against E. coli. The antioxidant abilities of P. australis and CuONPs were also confirmed. The CuONP solution's total phenolic substance content was 9.44 μg of pyrocathecol equivalent per milligram of nanoparticle, and its total flavonoid content was 16.24 μg of catechin equivalent per milligram of nanoparticle. Additionally, the synthesized CuONPs were found to be well effective on industrial dye removal by demonstrating high decolorization of 98 %. Also, the antibacterial activity of CuONPs was investigated through the interactions with S. aureus FtsZ, dihydropteroate synthase and thymidylate kinase. In silico molecular docking analysis was applied in the confirmation of the binding sites and interactions of active sites. CuONP showed -9.067, -8,048, and -7.349 kcal/mol of binding energies in molecular docking analysis of FtsZ, dihydropteroate synthase and thymidylate kinase proteins respectively. The results of this study suggested the antimicrobial, antioxidant and decolorative effect of synthesized CuONPs that can be apply in multiple areas of R&D and industry.

Abstract
CONTEXT Thais savignyi Deshayes (Muricidae) is widely distributed in the Red Sea. Its abundance and the history of Muricidae in traditional medicine make it a tempting target for investigation. OBJECTIVE To investigate the chemical profile and biological activities of T. savignyi tissue extracts. MATERIALS AND METHODS Methanol, ethanol, acetone, and ethyl acetate extracts from T. savignyi tissue were compared in their antioxidant by total antioxidant capacity, DPPH free radical scavenging, and total phenolic content. In addition, the antimicrobial, and antibiofilm properties (at 250 µg/mL) of the extracts were tested against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus vulgaris, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans. The antioxidant extract with greatest activity was assessed for cytotoxicity (range 0.4-100 µg/mL) against 3 human cancer cell lines (UO-31, A549 and A431), and its chemical composition was investigated using GC-MS. Moreover, docking simulation was performed to predict its constituents' binding modes/scores to the active sites of thymidylate kinase. RESULTS The ethyl acetate extract (Ts-EtOAc) showed the highest total antioxidant capacity (551.33 mg AAE/g dry weight), total phenolics (254.46 mg GAE/g dry weight), and DPPH scavenging (IC50= 24.0 µg/mL). Ts-EtOAc exhibited strong antibacterial (MIC: 3.9 µg/mL against K. pneumoniae), antibiofilm (MIC: 7.81 µg/mL against S. aureus), and antifungal (MIC: 3.9 µg/mL against C. albicans) activities and considerable cytotoxicity against cancer cells (UO-31: IC50= 19.96 ± 0.93, A549: IC50= 25.04 ± 1.15 μg/mL). GC-MS identified multiple bioactive metabolites in Ts-EtOAc extract belonging to miscellaneous chemical classes. Molecular docking studies revealed that the constituents of Ts-EtOAc have antibacterial potential. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS T. savignyi extract has considerable antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities. Further studies are needed to isolate the active constituents of this snail for comprehensive drug discovery tests.
