Abstract

The hydroxyapatite/alginate (HAp/Alg) composite was synthesized using an in-situ precipitation route. The effect of pH (8, 9, 10, and 11) and calcination temperature (300, 500, 700, and 900 °C) were studied by characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray (SEM with EDAX). XRD results show the hexagonal crystal system of HAp for each pH value and the biphase (HAp and whitelockite) for the sintering temperature at 700 and 900 °C. The FTIR spectra show no impurity peaks. SEM images revealed spherical-like (HAp/Alg-11) and flake-like (HAp/Alg-900) particles with good homogeneity, size, and shape that could be notable for biomedical utilization, such as drug delivery material. Drug loading and release ability of pure HAp, HAp/Alg-11, and HAp/Alg-900 composites have been investigated with clindamycin hydrochloride as the drug model. The maximum clindamycin HCl release from HAp, HAP/Alg-11, and HAp/Alg-900 reached 74.48, 92.75, and 69.65% in the 8th hour. HAp/Alg-11 has the highest release because it has the largest surface area of 162.584 m2/g. Antibacterial test results showed HAp/Alg-11 has antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, confirming that HAp/Alg-11 composite has the potential to be applied as drug delivery.

Abstract

The preparation of highly efficient hydrotreating catalysts has presented a significant challenge in the field of catalysis. In this study, chemically activated carbon (AC) was prepared using potassium hydroxide (KOH) as an activator and Merbau wood as a lignocellulosic source for the AC. The AC was then impregnated with mono-metallic species (nickel, platinum, and palladium) as well as a bimetallic NiPd combination. The results revealed that the optimal KOH impregnation weight ratio was determined to be 2:1, resulting in a remarkably high iodine value of 751.94 mg/g. Subsequently, AC was employed as a support material for the hydrotreating of castor oil. Among the catalysts tested, the NiPd/AC catalyst demonstrated superior performance, yielding a liquid fraction comprising 88.80 wt.%. Within this fraction, C5-C12 hydrocarbons accounted for 15.16 wt.%, alcohol compounds constituted 71.69 wt.%, while the remaining 0.87 wt.% consisted of other components. Furthermore, the NiPd/AC catalyst exhibited remarkable stability, as its performance remained largely unchanged even after being used three times consecutively. This finding suggests that coking had minimal impact on the active sites of the mentioned catalyst, indicating its robustness and potential for prolonged application.

Abstract

In this study, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) were synthesized from zinc nitrate hexahydrate precursor and mango leaf extract (MLE). The purpose of this research was to investigate the crystal structure and optical properties exhibited by ZnO NPs for photocatalytic applications. ZnO NPs produced from various concentrations of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and the addition of MLE during the synthesis stage demonstrated intriguing physical structure and optical properties. XRD characterization results revealed the attainment of a pure ZnO phase with a high crystallinity degree in all samples. Biosynthesis with MLE unveiled minor peaks corresponding to the cellulose phase. The achieved crystallite size ranged from 15–28 nm. The FTIR patterns detected in the wavenumber range of 600–4000 cm−1 indicated successful crystallization of all ZnO NPs samples. The band gap energy for each sample (ZnO-A to ZnO-E) is indicated to be in the range of 3.25, 3.25, 3.26, 3.31, and 3.17 eV, as demonstrated by the Tauc relation. The effect of MB degradation by the ZnO-E photocatalyst is revealed by the photodegradation of 96.46%.

Abstract

Colloidal silver nanoparticles were successfully synthesized via the chemical reduction method. The synthesis used AgNO3 as the precursor, chitosan as the reducing and stabilizing agents, and NaOH as the accelerator. The synthesis parameters were optimized. The samples were tested with a UV-vis spectrophotometer to observe their localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) phenomenon, a transmission electron microscope (TEM), and a particle size analyzer (PSA) to investigate their particle shape and size distribution. Further, silver nanoparticles were tested for their storage stability and antibacterial performance. The UV-vis spectroscopy data exhibited that the silver nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized, validating via the emergence of the LSPR absorption band at 402–418 nm. At 50 °C, the optimum synthesis was achieved for 100 min of reaction time by adding 0.033 M NaOH and AgNO3 4.00% (w/w, AgNO3/chitosan). TEM results showed spherical silver nanoparticles of 1–8 nm, while the PSA results exhibited particles sizes of about 12–59 nm. The colloidal silver nanoparticles were stable in storage for 8 weeks and had good antibacterial performance against E. coli, S. aureus, extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL), and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Therefore, colloidal silver nanoparticles have the potential as a material for medical applications.

Abstract

Indonesian black tea (BT) waste was utilized as a green corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel (CS) corrosion in a 0.5 M HCl medium. The BT extract was characterized using Fourier transform infra-red. The corrosion inhibition evaluation was studied using conventional weight loss methods, potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Further, scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray was applied to analyze the surface morphology of pure CS before and after contact with the inhibitor extract. After the addition of inhibitors, CS surface showed a better morphological transformation. The effect of oxygen contamination has also been studied in this research. The corrosion measurements of weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization, and EIS showed that the %IE BT extract was 84.70; 70.00; 72.80% at 0.20 g/L of inhibitor concentration. Adsorption isotherm studies have determined the reaction mechanism between the CS and inhibitor; in which the adsorption follows Langmuir. Gibbs free energy for the three methods is −16.62; −25.34; −24.35 kJ/mol, indicating electrostatic interaction (physisorption) between the metal surface and inhibitor. SEM and focus ion beam show that oxygen contamination can increase the corrosion rate resulting in CS damage. It shows that tea waste products can be used as an alternative corrosion inhibitor.

Abstract

To reduce the hazards brought by water hyacinth, many applications of water hyacinth have been studied and continuously expanded. The large biomass of water hyacinth is applied in many fields such as for wastewater treatment, wastewater purification, biological raw material sources, animal feed production, medicine, antioxidants, agriculture, and household appliances. This research investigates the desalination capacity of freshwater hyacinths, raw materials from water hyacinths, biochar, and activated carbon materials from water hyacinth stems. Results have shown that the suitable temperature for charring fresh water hyacinth is 420 °C. The activated carbon from the water hyacinth stems with a BET surface area of 200.4 ± 1.9 m²/g can be desalinated under the conditions of 0.4 g of activated carbon mass, 15 min of reaction time, 2.0 ppt of salt concentration, and at neutral pH. In contrast, raw materials from water hyacinths and biochar were unable to desalinate. This study evaluates the desalination ability of the activated carbon material of water hyacinth.

Abstract

The N,N',N''-trisubstituted hexahydro-1,3,5-triazine derivatives (3a–g) had been created and identified through infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectrometry according to their symmetric basic structure. Three molecules of diverse aromatic amines and three molecules of formaldehyde were assembled in a "1+1+1+1+1+1" condensation reaction to produce hexahydrotriazines. Two Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis) and two Gram-negative (Klebsiella pneumonia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) bacteria were used to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of the produced compounds. The anti-biofilm activity of 3g against S. aureus was also examined. In this investigation, glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase was employed to investigate the binding affinity of 3g within the enzyme's binding site. The results demonstrated that most of the synthesized hexahydro-1,3,5-triazine compounds have mild antimicrobial effects in comparison with the commonly used drug ampicillin, whereas the compounds 3g are potentially anti-biofilm agents. Molecular docking with the Autodock 4.2 tool was applied to study the binding affinity. It was found to hit (3g) in the active center of glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase as the target enzyme for antimicrobial agents. In silico studies reveal that the discovered hit is a promising glucosamine-6-phosphate inhibitor, as well as that the docking data matched up to the in vitro assay.

Abstract

To prevent the development of drug resistance and unwanted side effects, nanomaterials have been studied for their potential to inhibit beta-hematin, an important protein for the survival of malaria parasites. The use of nanomaterials as a medication against parasites and mosquito vectors has recently shown promising drug therapeutic strategies. One of the newest areas of interest in nanotechnology and nanoscience is the environmentally friendly production of nanoparticles. Green synthesis to produce metal nanoparticles is the most important strategy to overcome the possible dangers of toxic chemicals for a safe and harmless environment. For this study, copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) were synthesized using Iraqi basil leaf extract, demonstrating its novelty in nanosciences. The formation of CuNPs can be seen visually as a color shift from green to brownish. UV-vis absorption spectra, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the synthesized nanoparticles. The surface plasmon resonance property (SPR) of CuNPs is revealed by UV-vis analysis, which shows a distinctive absorption peak at 420–430 nm, whereas SEM reveals the spherical shape of CuNPs with sizes ranging from 30 to 50 nm.

Abstract

The complexes of Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) Schiff base ligand derived from 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone and 5-amino-2-methylphenol were synthesized. The ligand was synthesized by the reaction between the mentioned ketone and amine in 1:2 molar ratio, respectively. The four metal complexes were synthesized by refluxing the ligand with the related metal(II) chloride salts. The synthesized compounds were characterized using FTIR spectroscopy, UV-visible, 1H-NMR, conductivity, atomic absorption, magnetic susceptibility, and thermogravimetric analysis. According to the results, the chelation between metals and ligand occurs with the imine groups and the deprotonated hydroxyl groups of 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone and 5-amino-2-methylphenol in the ligand. The conductivity test of the four complexes shows the non-electrolytic nature of them. The magnetic susceptibility values of Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) complexes are 4.20, 4.11, 2.97, and 2.34 B.M, respectively. The thermogravimetric and atomic absorption analyses suggest the general chemical formula for the complexes is [M2(L)(H2O)6]. In addition, the ligand and one of its metal complexes (Co(II) complex) were examined against breast cancer cells, and they gave the IC50 of 101.24 and 129.2 µg/mL, respectively. This result suggests that Co(II) complex is a better anti-cancer agent in comparison with the ligand.

Abstract

New imidazolium salts with 1,2,3-triazole rings (rm1-rm5) were prepared in the current work using a design-driven synthetic procedure scheme. By using analytical techniques such as NMR, IR and spectral information, the chemical structures of target synthesized products were identified using results that were discovered in perfect accord with their assigned structures. The microorganism used in the current study were bacterial strains of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Bacillus subtilis and Micrococcus luteus, as well as the fungal strains of Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans. All the end products were estimated for their antibacterial activity. The values for the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) were confirmed by comparison to the widely used antibiotics fluconazole and ciprofloxacin as control drugs. Particularly, the compounds (rm5) and (rm4) showed observable antibacterial activity. These compounds might offer a brand-new place to start when looking for new antibacterial medications.
