The synthesized novel thiazolidinone-coumarin derivatives in the structure-based molecular hybridization approach are screened to learn their in-vitro cytotoxicity against the Human Breast cancer cells (MCF-7). Spectroscopic studies and elemental analysis were used to characterize the synthesized compounds. IC 50 values (15.7 and 12.15 μg/ml) obtained from cytotoxicity studies against MCF-7 cancer cell lines indicate higher kinase inhibitory activities of compounds 5a and 5j among the synthesized derivatives which are on par to that of standard doxorubicin (7.50 μg/ml). Molecular docking simulation shows the involvement of CDK2 protein in the formation of three conventional hydrogen bonds with compound 5j. Superior LibDock score (145.146 kcal/mol) and-62.687 kcal/mol as a binding energy were due to 5j docked complex in its finest conformation with CDK2 protein. Finally, we discovered that these new scaffolds of 5-(benzylidene)-3-[3-(4-methyl-2-oxo-2 H-chromen-7-yloxy)-propyl] thiazolidine-2,4-dione result in expedient compounds towards the treatment of cancer in upcoming days.

Humanbeings have to obtain zinc from food or supplements because our bodies do not produce it naturally. In view of the greater advantages (such as low cost, time of analysis, and stability-indicating) compared to other quantification methods (titration, ion chromatography, Atomic absorption spectroscopy) proposed in the literature, a refractive index detector coupled with HPLC has been used in quantification of zinc. Objective: The goal of this research is to develop and validate a sensitive, low-cost, high-resolution, and stability-indicating method for detecting and quantifying zinc levels in zinc supplement pharmaceutical products (injectables, tablets, and capsules). Methods: A novel isocratic reverse-phase HPLC method with a refractive index detector (with sensitivity 64, detector temperature 35 C, and positive polarity) was developed using a carboxyl functional group packed column and 0.8% (v/v) formic acid as the mobile phase to detect and quantify zinc content. Results: The reported method has a good optimal sensitivity (LOQ: 0.006 mg/mL and LOD: 0.002 mg/mL). The correlation coefficient (r) obtained from the zinc calibration plot was greater than 0.998, indicating that the method was linear and that there was a strong correlation between zinc concentration (0.006 mg/mL to 0.375 mg/mL) and peak response. The accuracy at LOQ level was found to be 95-105% and 97-103% at the remaining levels (50%, 100%, and 150%). Conclusion: The proposed method was successfully developed and validated as per International council for harmonisation (ICH) guidelines. Therefore, this method can be used for the quantitative testing of zinc in the QC laboratory. Highlights: A novel method was developed for zinc levels determination in pharmaceutical products using HPLC with a refractive index detector. The present approach has a quick run time of 10 min and is inexpensive.

Recent studies have highlighted the potential of leaf extracts as effective reducing and stabilizing agents in converting graphene oxide (GO) to graphene. This paper presents a green and cost-effective approach for the effective deposition of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) onto the reduced graphene oxide (RGO) nanosheets. The process involves the co-reduction of GO and AgNO 3 in water using Moringa olifera leaf extract, resulting in the formation of a nanocomposite termed reduced graphene oxide-silver (Ag-RGO). The formation of RGO and Ag NP is confirmed through UV-visible spectroscopy, XRD, and Raman spectroscopy techniques. TEM images revealed the morphology of the nanocomposite, depicting 2-dimensional graphene sheets adorned with Ag NPs. FT-IR analysis confirmed the removal of oxygenated functional groups from GO, indicating graphene formation. The synthesized Ag-RGO nanocomposite exhibited significant catalytic, antioxidant, and electrochemical properties. This study underscores the utilization of natural ingredients as sustainable alternatives for producing multifunctional graphene-silver nanocomposites.

propoxy}-4-methyl-chromen-2-one molecular hybrids 7(a–k)
were synthesized using molecular hybridization approach. The
synthesized new benzylidene-triazole tethered coumarin molecular
hybrids were characterized by spectroscopic studies and
elemental analysis. The coumarin molecular hybrids have been
explored for their antifungal efficacy in terms of tubulin
inhibitors using molecular modelling studies against tubulin
alphabeta hetero dimer protein. The results clearly demonstrated
strong binding affinity of coumarin molecular hybrids
with indole substituted and 2,4-dihydroxy substituted as
antagonists with respective binding scores of 10.5 and
10.7 kcal/mol towards tubulin alphabeta hetero dimer protein
which was higher in comparison to standards griseofulvin
( 8.2 kcal/mol) and fluconazole ( 8.1 kcal/mol). In addition,
broth dilution method was used to conduct in-vitro antifungal
studies against three fungal strains namely Candida albicans,
Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus fumigatus. The results obtained
clearly illustrate the antifungal activity of indole and 2,4-
dihydroxy substituted compounds which are consistent with
docking simulations. Out of all the synthesized molecular
hybrids, indole and 2,4-dihydroxy substituted compounds
depict outstanding antifungal activity with Minimum Inhibitory
Concentration (MIC) value of 31.25 μg/ml and 62.5 μg/ml
towards C.albicans and with MIC value of 31.25 for both these
molecules towards A.niger in each case which is quite higher
than griseofulvin and fluconazole respectively. Present work
clearly demonstrates the potential efficacy of synthesized indole
and 2,4-dihydroxy substituted coumarin molecular hybrids to
be considered as lead compounds for the development of new
agents against resistant strains for the treatment of fungal
infection.

Further, these derivatives were screened for their anti-breast cancer activity against MCF-7, MDA-MB-468 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines and results were compared with the 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Out of all, compounds 5a, 5c, 5f, 5g and 5j displayed higher activity than the 5-FU against three cancer cell lines. Compound 5a was more effective in inhibiting both tyrosine kinase EGFR and HER2 enzymes than the Erlotinib and Lapatinib. Furthermore, compound 5j demonstrated greater potency than the Erlotinib against EGFR. Molecular docking studies revealed the important binding features of most potent compounds 5a, 5c, 5f, 5g and 5j with EGFR (PDB ID-4HJO) and HER2 (PDB ID-3RCD) and results were found to be supportive with corresponding IC 50 data. Finally, in silico pharmacokinetic studies revealed that compounds 5a, 5c, 5f, 5g and 5j followed Ghose, Egan, Muegge, Lipinski and Veber rules without any deviation.

To investigate the synthesis of fused isoxazoles in the presence of [3 + 2] cycloaddition followed by CÀ N bond formation reaction between 3-((4-iodo-3-phenylisoxazol-5-yl)methyl)quinazolin-4(3H)-one and various nitrile oxides was carried out by previously reported conditions. The cancer activities of the synthesized compounds were then tested in vitro against two cancer cell lines, MCF-7 and A-549. Three of the compounds, 3-(3,5-dichlorophenyl) isoxazolo[4',5':3,4]pyrrolo[2,1-b]quinazolin-9(11H)-one, 3-(4-fluorophenyl)isoxazolo[4',5':3,4]pyrrolo[2,1-b]quinazolin-9(11H)one, and 3-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)isoxazolo[4',5':3,4] pyrrolo[2,1-b] quinazolin-9(11H)-one has shown superior activity against the non-small-cell lung cancer cell line (A-549) than the standards 5-fluorouracil and erlotinib. Later, in vitro EGFR results revealed that a more potent compound was more effective than the conventional medicine, erlotinib. In silico investigations of more potent compounds and erlotinib on the EGFR protein indicated that more potent compounds had comparable binding energies and inhibition constants to erlotinib.
