Transition Metal Complexes of Quinolino[3,2-b]benzodiazepine and Quinolino[3,2-b]benzoxazepine: Synthesis, Characterization, and Antimicrobial Studies

The synthesis and characterization of title complexes of the ligand Quinolino[3,2-b]benzodiazepine (QBD) and Quinolino[3,2-b]benzoxazepine (QBO) are reported. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, magnetic studies, IR, H1 NMR, and UV-visible studies. They have the stoichiometry [ML2C12], where M=Co(II)/Ni(II), L=QBD/QBO, and [MLC12], where M=Zn(II)/Cd(II), L=QBD/QBO. The antibacterial and antifungal activity of the metal complexes has been investigated. The complexes were found to have higher antimicrobial activity than the parent ligand

Antibacterial, Molecular Docking, DNA Binding and Photocleavage Studies on Novel Heterocyclic Pyrazoles

The antibacterial activity, in-silico DNA molecular docking, DNA binding and photo cleavage studies of newly synthesized pyrazole is described. Antibacterial potential of these compounds screened against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria showed significant zone of inhibition and MIC with standard drug ciproflaxin is investigated. Among all the orientation of binding, fourth orientation showed significant binding and revealed that the binding and docking energy of 4a was -8.62 and -8.66 and inhibition constant 7.46 X e-6. The absorption spectra showed the dynamic interaction with CT DNA and as proficient DNA intercalator (Kb = 4.5×104 M-1). The viscosity measurements and thermal denaturation affords the positive results towards DNA intercalation in both the studies. The light induced DNA damage was pragmatic in the absence of various ‘‘inhibitors’’ shows in photo cleavage activities at 360 nm

Synthesis of Functionalized Iron Oxide Nanoparticle with Amino Pyridine Moiety and Studies on Their Catalytic Behavior

Aim: The main objective of this paper is to study the synthesis of functionalized iron oxide nanoparticle and its reactivity towards chromene synthesis Study design: Functionalized iron oxide nanoparticle study. Place and duration of study: Department of Studies and Research in Industrial Chemistry, School of Chemical Sciences, Kuvempu University, Shankaraghatta, between December 2009 and July 2010. Methodology: This paper describes synthesis of stable functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles through surface modification of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles by amino pyridine. Iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by co-precipitation method and the surface modification process was achieved by treating the nanoparticles with (chloro propyl trimethoxy silane) CPTS and aminopyridine. The developed functionalized iron oxide nanoparticle was evaluated as the catalyst for synthesis of chromones under MW irradiation conditions. Results: The catalysts were magnetically recovered and reusable without significant loss of their catalytic efficiency. To receive morphological and structural information on the obtained functionalized nanoparticle, the samples were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements, FTIR and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging. All synthesized chromene derivatives were characterized using analytical techniques such as IR, 1H NMR, and mass spectroscopy. Also the identity of these compounds was easily established by comparison of their melting point with those of reported samples. Conclusion: In summary, we have developed a new magnetically recyclable and efficient functionalized magnetic nano catalyst for the chromene synthesis. Magnetic nanoparticle catalyst achieves a simple separation of catalyst without filtration including high yield in product
