Abstract
The novel synthetic amino acid-like zwitterion containing imine bond ionic compound 2-[(E)-(2-carboxy benzylidene) amino] ethan ammonium salt, C10H12N2O2, was synthesized. Computational functional characterization is now being used to predict novel compounds. Here, we report on a titled combination that has been crystallizing in orthorhombic space group Pcc2 with Z = 4. The zwitterions form centrosymmetric dimers to polymeric supramolecular network via intermolecular N-H… O hydrogen bonds between the carboxylate groups and ammonium ion. The components are linked by ionic (N+-H-O-) and hydrogen bonds (N+-H-O), forming a complex three-dimensional supramolecular network. Further, molecular computational docking characterization study was performed with compound against multi-disease drug target biomolecule of anticancer target molecule of HDAC8 (PDB ID 1T69) receptor and antiviral molecular target protease (PDB ID 6LU7) to evaluate the interaction stability, conformational changes and to get insights into the natural dynamics on different timescales in solution. HighlightsThe novel zwitter ionic amino acid compound 2-[(E)-(2-carboxybenzylidene) amino] ethan ammonium salt, C10H12N2O2.The crystal structure determined for this compound illustrates the presence of intermolecular ionic N+-H-O- and N+-H-O hydrogen bonds between the carboxylate groups and ammonium ion, which influence the formation of a complex three-dimensional supramolecular polymeric network.Molecular docking studies helps to understand the conformational stability and interaction stabilityThe novel molecule can be considered for anticancer treatment.

Abstract
Various drugs such as corticosteroids, salbutamol, and β2 agonist are available for the treatment of asthma an inflammatory disease and its symptoms, although the ingredient and the mode of action of these drugs are not clearly elucidated. Hence this research aimed at carrying out improved scientific research with respect to the use of natural product rosmarinic acid which poses minima, side effects. Herein, we first carried out extraction, isolation, and spectroscopic (FT-IR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR) investigation, followed by molecular modeling analysis on the naturally occurring rosmarinic acid extracted from Rosmarinus officinalis. A detailed comparison of the experimental and theoretical vibrational analysis has been carried out using five DFT functionals: BHANDH, HSEH1PBE, M06-2X, MPW3PBE and THCTHHYB with the basis set 6-311++G (d, p) to investigate into the structural, reactivity, and stability of the isolated compound. Frontier molecular orbital analysis and appropriate quantum descriptors were calculated. Results showed that the compound was more stable at M06-2X and more reactive at HSEH1PBE with an energy gap of 6.43441 eV and 3.8047 eV, respectively, which was later affirmed by the global quantum reactivity parameters. From natural bond orbital analysis, π* → π* is the major contributor to electron transition with the summation perturbation energy of 889.57 kcal/mol, while π → π* had the perturbation energy totaling of 145.3 kcal/mol. Geometry analysis shows BHANDH to have lower bond length values and lesser deviation from 120° in carbon-carbon angle. The potency of the title molecule as an asthma drug was tested via a molecular docking approach and the binding score of -8.2 kcal/mol was observed against -7.0 of salbutamol standard drug, suggesting romarinic acid as a potential natural organic treatment for asthma.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
The utilization of the density functional theory (DFT) methodology has developed as a highly efficient method for investigating molecular structure and vibrational spectra, and it is increasingly being employed in various applications relating to biological systems. This study focuses on conducting investigations, both experimental and computed, to analyze the molecular structure, electronic properties and features of (E)-4-(((9H-purin-6-yl)imino)methyl)-2-methoxyphenol (ANVA). The expression ANVA should be rewritten as follows: the compound is a derivative of adenine (primary amine), specifically a vanillin (aldehyde). The present study reports the synthesis, characterization, DFT, docking and antimicrobial activity of ANVA. The optimization of the molecular structure was conducted, and the determination of its structural features was performed using DFT with the B3LYP/cc-pVDZ method. The vibrational assignments were determined in detail by analyzing the potential energy distribution. A strong correlation was observed between the spectra that were observed and the spectra that were calculated. The calculation of intramolecular charge transfer was performed using natural bond orbital analysis. In addition, several computational methods were employed, including highest occupied molecular orbital-least unoccupied molecular orbital analysis, molecular electrostatic potential calculations, non-linear optical, reduced density gradient, localization orbital locator and electron localization function analysis. This paper examines the present use of adenine derivatives in combatting bacterial and fungal infections, as well as the inclusion of spectral and quantum chemical calculations in the discussion.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
The 2,4,6-tris(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine (tptz), [Ru(μ-tptz)2]Cl2 and [Fe(μ-tptz)2]Cl2, complexes containing Ru (1) and Fe (2) are created. Using electronic absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism spectroscopy, viscosity measurement and electrochemistry, as well as two complexes with Fish Salmon DNA (FS-DNA), the binding interactions of these complexes were investigated. According to binding assays, complexes bind to DNA through a mild intercalation mechanism, most likely via the DNA helix's base pairs being intercalated by the tptz ligand. Additionally, complex (2) is more capable of binding than complex (1). The electrochemical method offers a quick and easy way to determine the binding constant (Kb). The antibacterial performance of these complexes versus Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria was examined using the zone of inhibition test, MIC, and MBC method, and the results revealed that complex (2) exhibits strong antibacterial activity against these bacteria. The outcomes of this investigation will help in understanding DNA interaction mechanisms as well as the creation of a prospective one. Additionally, the density functional theory (DFT) computation included probes of DNA structure and conformation as well as potential pharmacological regulators for particular disorders to fully explain the experimental results.

Abstract
Raman spectra of oxacillin (OXN), carbenicillin (CBC), and azlocillin (AZL) are reported for the first time together with their full assignment of the normal modes, as calculated using Density Functional Theory (DFT) methods with the B3LYP exchange-correlation functional coupled to the 6-31G(d) and 6-311+G(2d,p) basis sets. Molecular docking studies were performed on five penicillins, including OXN, CBC, and AZL. Subsequently, their chemical reactivity and correlated efficiency towards specific pathogenic strains were revealed by combining frontier molecular orbital (FMO) data with molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) surfaces. Their bactericidal activity was tested and confirmed on a couple of species, both Gram-positive and Gram-negative, by using the disk diffusion method. Additionally, a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-principal component analysis (PCA)-based resistogram of A. hydrophila is proposed as a clinically relevant insight resulting from the synergistic cheminformatics and vibrational study on CBC and AZL.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are common clinical conditions, and T2DM is an independent risk factor for HCC. Sorafenib and lenvatinib, two multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors, are first-line therapies for advanced HCC, while canagliflozin, a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor, is widely used in the treatment of T2DM. Here, we developed an ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for the simultaneous determination of canagliflozin, sorafenib, and lenvatinib, and investigated the pharmacokinetic drug interactions between canagliflozin and sorafenib or lenvatinib in rats. The animals were randomly divided into five groups. Groups I–III were gavage administrated with sorafenib, lenvatinib, and canagliflozin, respectively. Group IV received sorafenib and canagliflozin; while Group V received lenvatinib and canagliflozin. The area under the plasma concentration-time curves (AUC) and maximum plasma concentrations (Cmax) of canagliflozin increased by 37.6% and 32.8%, respectively, while the apparent volume of distribution (Vz/F) and apparent clearance (CLz/F) of canagliflozin significantly decreased (30.6% and 28.6%, respectively) in the presence of sorafenib. Canagliflozin caused a significant increase in AUC and Cmax of lenvatinib by 28.9% and 36.2%, respectively, and a significant decrease in Vz/F and CLz/F of lenvatinib by 52.9% and 22.7%, respectively. In conclusion, drug interactions exist between canagliflozin and sorafenib or lenvatinib, and these findings provide a reference for the use of these drugs in patients with HCC and T2DM.

Abstract
2D transition metal dichalcogenide MoS2 monolayer quantum dots (MoS2-QD) and their doped boron (B@MoS2-QD), nitrogen (N@MoS2-QD), phosphorus (P@MoS2-QD), and silicon (Si@MoS2-QD) surfaces have been theoretically investigated using density functional theory (DFT) computation to understand their mechanistic sensing ability, such as conductivity, selectivity, and sensitivity toward NH3 gas. The results from electronic properties showed that P@MoS2-QD had the lowest energy gap, which indicated an increase in electrical conductivity and better adsorption behavior. By carrying out comparative adsorption studies using m062-X, ωB97XD, B3LYP, and PBE0 methods at the 6-311G++(d,p) level of theory, the most negative values were observed from ωB97XD for the P@MoS2-QD surface, signifying the preferred chemisorption surface for NH3 detection. The mechanistic studies provided in this study also indicate that the P@MoS2-QD dopant is a promising sensing material for monitoring ammonia gas in the real world. We hope this research work will provide informative knowledge for experimental researchers to realize the potential of MoS2 dopants, specifically the P@MoS2-QD surface, as a promising candidate for sensors to detect gas. 2D transition metal dichalcogenide MoS2 monolayer quantum dots (MoS2-QD) and their doped boron (B@MoS2-QD), nitrogen (N@MoS2-QD), phosphorus (P@MoS2-QD), and silicon (Si@MoS2-QD) counterparts are proposed as selective sensors for NH3 gas.![]()
