Abstract
Schiff bases are one of the important classes of organic compounds containing imine or azomethine functional groups with potential biological applications in medicinal chemistry. Nowadays, these compounds have attracted the scientific community's attention due to their ability to act as ligands in the formation of stable metal complexes with significant biological activity. In this connection, we have designed and synthesized six novel thiophene-based organoltellurium (IV) complexes using a novel N-((5-methylthiophen-2-yl) methylene)-2-nitroaniline (5MTCONA) schiff base. These complexes underwent analytical investigation (TGA, Powder XRD, SEM, EDAX) as well as spectral analysis (FT-IR, NMR, Mass spectrometry, UV-Vis). The in-vitro pharmacological evaluation of these compounds has been carried out as antimicrobial and antioxidant agents. To further corroborate our findings, we have implemented computational analyses (Semi empirical PM3 method, Molecular Docking, and ADMET) of all the compounds with Spartan-14, Hex-8.0., Swiss ADME software. Precisely, our study integrates experimental and theoretical aspects, offering innovative insights in the field of pharmaceutical sciences.

Abstract
Metal-based coordination compounds have very special place in bioinorganic chemistry because of their different structural arrangements and significant application in medicine. Rapid progress in this field increasingly enables the targeted design and synthesis of metal-based pharmaceutical agents that fulfill valuable roles as diagnostic or therapeutic agents. Various coordination compounds have important biological functions, both those initially present in the body (endogenous) and those entering the organisms from the external environment (exogenous): vitamins, drugs, toxic substances, etc. In the therapeutic and diagnostic practice, both the essential for all living organisms and the trace metals are used in metal-containing coordination compounds. In the current review, the most important functional biologically active compounds were classified group by group according to the position of the elements in the periodic table.

Abstract
An increase in textile resistance to antimicrobial agents has posed a pressing need for the development of new antimicrobials. Therefore, the antimicrobial characteristics of thiophene and pyridine acetohydrazide derivatives have been developed as novel textile-modified complexes exhibiting antibacterial agents. Synthesis and characterization of pyridyl-thienyl acetohydrazide derivative (AHZ) using NMR (13C and 1H) and FTIR. Modification of cotton fabric (CF) with acetohydrazide (AHZ) and metal chlorides of divalent Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn and trivalent Fe, and Cr. SEM-EDX and Fourier-transform infrared were utilized to characterize cellulose-based cotton fabric (CF) attached to AHZ and their metal (M) complexes. Antimicrobial activity was examined against two types of bacteria, namely S. aureus and E. coli, and two types of fungi, namely C. albicans and A. flavus. All modified samples exhibited higher efficiency towards bacterial strains than fungal strains. In addition, cellulose modified with Ni (II) confers the most antibacterial protection efficiency.

Abstract
Theoretical understanding of magneto-structural correlations in dichloro-bridged dicopper(ii) complexes can guide the design of magnetic materials having broad-scale applications. However, previous reports suggest these correlations are complicated and unclear. To clarify possible correlations, magnetic coupling constants (J calc) of variants of a representative {Cu-(μ-Cl)2-Cu} complex A were calculated through BS-DFT. The variation of the Cu-(μ-Cl)-Cu angle (α), Cu⋯Cu distance (R 0), and Cu-Cl-Cu-Cl dihedral angle (τ) followed by structural optimization and calculation of the magnetic coupling constant (J calc) revealed several trends. J calc increased linearly with R 0 and τ, and initially increased and then decreased with α. Further, bridging ligand effects on J calc for dicopper(ii) complexes were evaluated through BS-DFT; the results revealed that J calc increased with increasing ligand field strength (I- < Br- < Cl- < N3 - < F-). Furthermore, a linear relationship was found between the spin density of the bridging ligand and J calc.

Mechanistic efficacy assessment of selected novel methanimine derivatives against vincristine induced Neuropathy: In-vivo, Ex-vivo and In-silico correlates. Int Immunopharmacol 2022; 112:109246. [PMID: 36116153 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2022.109246] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2022] [Revised: 08/17/2022] [Accepted: 09/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
Vincristine induced peripheral neuropathy (VIPN) is a serious untoward side effect suffered by cancer patients, which still lacks an adequate therapeutic approach. This study examined the alleviating potential of novel methanimine derivatives i.e. (E)-N-(4-nitrobenzylidene)-4-chloro-2-iodobenzamine (KB 9) and (E)-N-(2-methylbenzylidene)-4-chloro-2-iodobenzamine (KB 10) in VIPN. Vincristine was injected in BALB/c mice for 10 days to instigate nociceptive neuropathy. Dynamic and static allodynia, thermal (hot and cold) hyperalgesia were evaluated at 0, 5, 10 and 14 days using cotton brush, Von Frey filament application, hot plate test, acetone drop and cold water respectively. Tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), lipid peroxide (LPO), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) assays were performed to assess the efficacy of KB9 and KB10 against neuroinflammation and oxidative stress utilizing ELISA, immunohistochemistry and western blot analysis in brain and sciatic nerve tissues. Computational studies were executed to determine the stable binding conformation of both compounds with respect to COX-2 and NF-κB. Interestingly, both compounds substantially reduced protein expression related to neuroinflammation, oxidative stress (LPO, GST, SOD, CAT) and pain (NF-κB, COX-2, IL-1β and TNF-α). This molecular analysis suggested that the neuroprotective effect of KB9 and KB10 was mediated via regulation of inflammatory signaling pathways. Overall, this study demonstrated that KB9 and KB10 ameliorated vincristine induced neuropathy, through anti-inflammatory, anti-nociceptive and antioxidant mechanisms.

Abstract
The synthesis of new chiral copper(ii) complexes with terpene derivatives of ethylenediamine and the results of studying their antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant activity in vitro are discussed. All studied copper complexes (1–4) showed significantly higher antifungal activity against the strains of C. albicans, S. salmonicolor and P. notatum compared to the activity of the clinical antifungal drug amphotericin. High antibacterial activity of copper complexes with terpene derivatives of ethylenediamine was revealed against the S. aureus (MRSA) strain, which is resistant to the reference antibiotic ciprofloxacin. Using various test systems, a comparative assessment of the antioxidant activity (AOA) of the synthesized copper complexes and the ligands was carried out. The salen-type complex 4, which has the highest AOA in the model of initiated oxidation of a substrate containing animal lipids, was superior to other copper complexes in the ability to protect erythrocytes under conditions of H2O2-induced hemolysis. The synthesis of new chiral copper(ii) complexes with terpene derivatives of ethylenediamine and the results of studying their antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant activity in vitro are discussed.![]()

Abstract
The interaction of copper(II) with the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug sodium meclofenamate (Na-mclf) in the presence or absence of the nitrogen-donor co-ligands pyridine (py) or 2,2'-bipyridylamine (bipyam), yielded the novel Cu(II) complexes [Cu2(mclf-O,O')4(MeOH)2]·2MeOH (1·2MeOH), [Cu(mclf-O)2(py)3]·H2O·0.5MeOH (2·H2O·0.5MeOH) and [Cu(mclf-O,O')2(bipyam)] (3). The characterization of the complexes was achieved by various techniques, including single-crystal X-ray crystallography. In order to study the binding mode and strength of the complexes to calf-thymus (CT) DNA, various techniques were employed which suggested intercalation between the DNA-bases as the most possible interaction mode. Competitive studies with ethidium bromide (EB) revealed the ability of the complexes to displace the EB from the EB-DNA adduct, verifying the intercalative binding mode. The affinity of the complexes to bovine and human serum albumin proteins (SAs) was investigated by fluorescence emission spectroscopy and the corresponding binding constants bear relatively high values, showing that the complexes bind tightly and possibly reversibly to SAs. The antioxidant activity of the complexes against 1,1-diphenyl-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radicals and the ability to reduce H2O2 proved to be of significant magnitude. The in vitro inhibitory activity against the enzymes acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) was evaluated, in order to assess the anticholinergic ability of the complexes, which appeared promising.
