Abstract
The natural flavonol quercetin (Q) is found in many vegetables, fruits, and beverages, and it is known as a strong antioxidant. Its metal ion chelation may increase its antioxidant activity. The present study aims to explore the Co(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) chelating on the antioxidant effectiveness and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2) main protease (Mpro) inhibitory of quercetin using Density-functional theory (DFT), molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations (MD). DFT calculations at the B3LYP/LanL2DZ reveal that the high antioxidant activity of the metal-chelated quercetin complexes is mainly returned to their lower ionization potentials (IPs) compared with the one of the free quercetin. Molecular docking of quercetin and its Co(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) chelates into the active binding sites of peroxiredoxin 5 and SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro) were performed using Lamarckian Genetic Algorithm method. The docked quercetin and its metal chelates fit well into the binding site of the target proteins, and their binding affinity is strongly influenced by the type of the chelated metals Co(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II), and molar ratio metal: ligand, i.e. 1:2 and 2:1. Further, the binding stability of QZn2 and QCu2 in peroxiredoxin 5 and SARS-CoV-2 main protease targets is evaluated using MD simulation conducted for 100 ns simulations at natural room temperature conditions, and the obtained results showed that all chelates remain bound to the ligand binding groove of protein except for 1HD2_QZn2 complex. Finally, the adsorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) and drug-likeness properties of quercetin and cobalt(II)-quercetin (QCo2(II)) were investigated.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Metal ions have significant roles in diagnosis, industry, human health, and the environment. To design and develop new lucid molecular receptors for the selective detection of metal ions is important for environmental and medical applications. In the present work, two-armed indole appended Schiff bases conjoined with 1,2,3-Triazole bis-organosilane and bis-organosilatrane skelton sensors for naked eye colorimetric and fluorescent detection sensors for Al(III) are developed. The introduction of Al(III) in sensor 4 and 5 show red shift in UV-visible spectra, changes in fluorescence spectra and immediate color change from colorless to dark yellow. Furthermore, the pH and time response studies were explored for both sensors 4 & 5. The sensors 4 and 5 exhibited significantly low detection limit (LOD) in nano-molar range 1.41 × 10-9 M and 0.17 × 10-9 M respectively from emission titration. The LOD form absorption titration was found to be 0.6 × 10-7 M for sensor 4 and 0.22 × 10-7 M for sensor 5. In addition, the sensing model is developed as paper based sensor for its practical applicability. The theoretical calculations were performed on Gaussian 03 program by relaxing the structures using Density functional theory.

Abstract
Tricyclic antidepressants are commonly employed in the management of major depressive disorders. The present work describes two visible (VIS) spectrophotometric techniques that utilize the formation of charge transfer complexes between four antidepressant compounds, namely, amitriptyline hydrochloride (AMI), imipramine hydrochloride (IMI), clomipramine hydrochloride (CLO), and trimipramine maleate (TRI) acting as electron donors and two p-benzoquinones, namely, p-chloranilic acid (pCA) and 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ), serving as electron acceptors. The stoichiometry of the compounds produced exhibited a consistent 1:1 ratio in all instances, as established by Job's method. Molar absorptivities, equilibrium association constants, and several other spectroscopic properties were determined for all complexes. The developed spectrophotometric techniques were validated intra-laboratory and successfully applied for quantitative assessment of the four antidepressant active ingredients in several commercial pharmaceutical formulations. The methods are relatively simple, fast, and use readily available laboratory instrumentation, making them easily applicable by most quality control laboratories worldwide.

Abstract
Agents that suppress the toxic effect of arecoline (a chemical present in the Areca nut fruit) have become a need of the hour owing to its several harmful effects on human beings. Although some drug molecules have been developed for this purpose, yet, simple, easy to prepare, and economical molecules with remarkable potency are still a challenge to design. The present work thus becomes important as it involves the synthesis of a new charge transfer complex (CTC) material, which has, for the first time, been screened to investigate its effect on the toxic effects of arecoline. The newly designed material (CL), which is generated from the reaction between 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP) and pyrazole (PYZ), has been crystallized by a slow evaporation method and characterized by employing spectral studies including single crystal X-ray crystallography. Spectrophotometry studies with the inclusion of the Benesi-Hildebrand equation reveal 1 : 1 stoichiometry and physical parameters of CL. Assays were used for determining the protective effect of CL against arecoline. CL was found to (dose-dependently) decrease β-galactosidase activity, damage in tissue and DNA damage caused by arecoline (80 μM) in the third-instar larvae of the transgenic Drosophila melanogaster (hsp70-lacZ)Bg9. The possible mechanism of this effect was explored through fluorescence and UV-vis spectroscopy. The possibility of suppression of arecoline action on the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor 1-G11 protein complex (found in the cell membrane) in the presence of CL was studied theoretically by molecular docking. Density functional theory (DFT) also theoretically supported various aspects of the designed material concerning the energy profile of the orbitals (HOMO-LUMO) as well as the energy minimized structure. Furthermore, time dependent (TD) DFT corroborated the electronic properties of the designed material.

Abstract
Hydrocortisone (termed as D1) and dexamethasone (termed as D2) are corticosteroids currently used to treat COVID-19. COVID-19 is a disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Exploring additional chemical properties of drugs used in the treatment protocols for COVID-19 could help scientists alike improve these treatment protocols and potentially even the vaccines (i.e., Janssen, Moderna, AstraZeneca, Pfizer-BioNTech). In this work, the charge-transfer (CT) properties of these two corticosteroids (D1 and D2) with two universal acceptors: 7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (termed as TCNQ) and fluoranil (termed as TFQ) in five different solvents were investigated. The examined solvents were MeOH, EtOH, MeCN, CH2Cl2, and CHCl3. The CT interactions formed stable corticosteroid CT complexes in all examined solvents. Several spectroscopic parameters were derived, and the oscillator strength (f) and transition dipole moment (μe.g.) values revealed that the interaction between the investigated corticosteroids with TCNQ acceptor is much stronger than their interaction with TFQ acceptor. The CT interactions were proposed to process via n → π* transition.
