RESUMEN
A new, easy-to-prepare, and highly selective fluorescent chemosensor, i.e., 5-aminoisophthalate-based kojic acid-appended bis-1,2,3-triazole, was synthesized from an alkyne of 5-aminoisophthalic acid and azido-kojic acid using Cu(i)-catalyzed click chemistry and then successfully characterized. The alkyne structure of 5-aminoisophthalic acid, 1, was supported by the single-crystal X-ray crystallographic data. The fluorescent probe 3 was found to be highly selective for Cu2+ ions supported by the Job's plot with a stoichiometric ligand : metal ratio of 2 : 1, exhibiting almost a two-fold enhancement in the emission intensity upon the addition of Cu2+ ions (0-25 µM) with a detection limit of 8.82 µM. A comparison with LODs from previously developed chemosensors for Cu2+ ions was also conducted. Reversibility analysis indicated that probe 3 could be used as both a reusable sensor and as a scavenger of copper ions. DFT calculations with the basis sets B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) and LanL2DZ were employed for geometrical optimizations of structures of the alkyne 1, azide 2, probe 3, and complex 3.Cu2+. Hirshfeld surface analysis revealed significant intermolecular interactions in compound 1. Additionally, molecular docking for the antimicrobial activity showed the better antibacterial efficacy of probe 3.
RESUMEN
In this study, two novel chalcone-derived 1,2,3-triazole-appended positional isomers (probe 6 and probe 9) were synthesized via the 'CuAAC' (Cu(i) - catalysed alkyne azide cycloaddition) methodology for the purpose of metal ion detection. The synthesized probes underwent characterization utilizing standard spectroscopic methodologies including FTIR, NMR (1H and 13C), and mass spectrometry. Subsequently, the sensing capabilities of these probes were explored using UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy, wherein their selective recognition potential was established for Pb(ii) and Cu(ii), both of which can pose serious health hazards when prevalent in the environment above permissible limits. Both the probes exhibited fairly low limits of detection (LoD), determined as 5.69 µM and 6.55 µM in the case of probe 6 for Pb(ii) and Cu(ii) respectively; whereas the probe 9 exhibited an LoD of 5.06 µM and 7.52 µM for Pb(ii) and Cu(ii), respectively. The job's plot for the probe demonstrates the formation of a 1 : 1 complex between the metal and ligand. Furthermore, the interaction of the free probes with the metal ions in the metal-ligand complex was elucidated through 1H NMR analysis and validated theoretically using Density Functional Theory (DFT) simulations with the B3LYP/6-311G++(d,p) and B3LYP/LANL2DZ basis sets for geometry optimization of the probes and their corresponding metal complexes. These findings offer a reliable approach to Cu(ii) and Pb(ii) ion detection and can be further used for the potential applications in environmental monitoring and analytical chemistry.

RESUMEN
Herein, a 1,2,3-triazole derivative (CBT), synthesized using the Copper(i) catalyzed Alkyne Azide Cycloaddition (CuAAC) procedure, based on a chalcone skeleton has been reported, that was implemented as an effective sensor for Pb(ii) and Cu(ii) ions. The synthesized CBT was characterized using spectroscopic techniques such as FTIR, NMR (1H and 13C), and mass spectrometry. The sensing behaviour of CBT was analyzed using UV-Vis spectroscopy, demonstrating selective sensing for Pb(ii) and Cu(ii) ions, competitively. The correlation plot revealed the detection limit for Pb(ii) and Cu(ii) ions to be 100 µM and 110 µM respectively. In addition, DFT simulations and molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) studies scrutinized the binding strategy of the free CBT and its orientation towards the metal ions in the metal-ligand complex. The probe CBT was predicted via the online platform Way2drug for its pharmacological properties, investigating the possibility to inhibit early atherosclerosis. CBT was subsequently docked to the TRIB1 protein using AutoDock Vina and demonstrated a high binding affinity with a value of -6.2 kcal mol-1.
RESUMEN
The present report describes the application of the 'Click Chemistry' pathway to synthesize a fluorescent probe (APT) based on ampyrone (4-aminoantipyrine), entailing two benzyl groups as the fluorophores coupled to the antipyrine structure through 1,2,3-triazole moieties. Infrared spectroscopy (IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (1H and 13C), and mass spectrometry were the standard spectroscopic methods used to characterize APT. The ion recognition potential of the probe was analyzed through absorption and emission spectroscopy employing a 4:1 combination of CH3CN and H2O, which demonstrated APT to be an efficient sensing agent for Cu(II) ions, wherein the absorption spectrum of the probe displayed a hypsochromic shift with a hyperchromic shift on gradually adding the metal ion solution of Cu(II), whereas quenching of the probe's fluorescence emission on Cu(II) addition was attributed to the chelation-enhanced fluorescence quenching (CHEQ), induced by the d9 electronic configuration of Cu(II). The stoichiometry of the complexation of APT with Cu(II) is indicative of a 1:1 ratio, while the detection limit (LOD) and quantification limit (LOQ) as estimated from the fluorescence titration results were 3.11 µM and 10.35 µM respectively. Furthermore, DFT analysis was also undertaken to yield the energy-optimized structures and HOMO-LUMO density plots of APT and its corresponding Cu(II) complex via the B3LYP/631G+(d,p) level of theory for APT, and LANL2DZ basis set for the APT-Cu(II) complex. Docking analysis of the probe with the synaptic vesicle protein (SV2A) gave glimpses about its anticonvulsant properties.
RESUMEN
In this study, hazardous substances in 5 different brands of sanitary napkins being used in India have been analysed through gas chromatography mass spectroscopy (GCMS). Concentration of chemicals such as volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) (acetone, iso propyl alcohol, toluene), persistent organic pollutant (dioxins and furans), phthalates and total chlorine present in sanitary napkin have been reported. Furthermore, amounts of plastic present per sanitary napkin and total plastic waste generation potential have been calculated. Additionally, data analysis was done to understand the health impacts of these hazardous chemicals on users and the environment. It has been found that Indian sanitary pads have higher concentration of hazardous chemicals, as compared to similar product being sold in developed countries like - USA, Europe and Japan. The values of total chlorine observed in 5 different brands were found to be in the range of 170 to 460 ppm; dioxins varied from 0.244 to 21.419 pg/g; furans varied from 0.07 to 0.563 pg/g; acetone varied from 351 to 429 ppm; isopropyl alcohol varied from 125 to 184 ppm; toluene varied from 2.91 to 3.21 ppb; concentration of two phthalates, DBP and DEHP varied from 57.3 to 127.8 and from 146.2 to 188.5, respectively. Plastic pollution potential of this waste is approximately 33,210 tons/year. Daily exposure volume (DEV) of dioxins varied from 2.295 to 2.266 pg TEQ/g and furan from 0.0616 to 0.0738 pg TEQ/kg/day, compared to safe TDI value < 0.7 TEQ/kg/day. Dioxin's value is around 3 times higher than the accepted TDI value, whereas furan is within acceptable limit. Daily exposure doses (DED) of DBP were observed in-between 4.24 and 9.47 µg/kg-bw/day, whereas the DEHP value varied from 0.541 to 0.698 µg/kg-bw/day.
RESUMEN
Copper(i) catalyzed alkyne azide cycloaddition (CuAAC), the quintessential example of 'click chemistry', provides an adaptable and adequate platform for the synthesis of nanogels for sustained drug release at targeted sites because of their better biocompatibility. The coupling of drugs, carried out via various synthetic routes including CuAAC, into long-chain polymeric forms like nanogels has exhibited considerable assurance in therapeutic advancements and intracellular drug delivery due to the progression of water solubility, evacuation of precocious drug release, and improved upthrust of the pharmacokinetics of the nanogels, thereby rendering them as better and efficient drug carriers. The inefficiency of drug transmission to the target areas due to the resistance of complex biological barriers in vivo is a major hurdle that impedes the therapeutic translation of nanogels. This review compiles the data of nanogels synthesized specifically via CuAAC 'click' methodology, as scaffolds for targeted drug delivery and their assimilation into nanomedicine. In addition, it elaborates the ability of CuAAC to graft specific moieties and conjugating biomolecules like proteins and growth factors, onto orthogonally functionalized polymer chains with various chemical groups resulting in nanogels that are not only more appealing but also more effective at delivering drugs, thereby enhancing their site-specific target approach and initiating selective therapies.
RESUMEN
Copper(I)-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition (CuAAC) is a resourceful and stereospecific methodology that has considerably yielded promising 1,2,3-triazole-appended "click" scaffolds with the potential for selective metal ion recognition. Based on "click" methodology, this report presents a chemosensor probe (TCT) based on 4-tert-butylcatechol architecture, via the CuAAC pathway, as a selective and efficient sensor for Pb(II) and Hg(II) ions, categorized as the most toxic and alarming environmental contaminants among the heavy metal ions. The synthesized probe was successfully characterized by spectroscopy [IR and NMR (1H and 13C)] and mass spectrometry. The chemosensing study performed in acetonitrile/water (4:1) solvent media, via UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy, established its selective sensitivity for Pb(II) and Hg(II) species among the list of explored metal ions with the limits of detection being 8.6 and 11 µM, respectively. Additionally, the 1H NMR and IR spectra of the synthesized TCT-metal complex also confirmed the metal-ligand binding. Besides, the effect of time and temperature on the binding ability of TCT with Pb(II) and Hg(II) was also studied via UV-vis spectroscopy. Furthermore, density functional theory studies put forward the structural comprehension of the sensor by availing the hybrid density functional (B3LYP)/6311G++(d,p) basis set of theory which was subsequently utilized for investigating its anti-inflammatory potential by performing docking analysis with human leukotriene b4 protein.
RESUMEN
The review lays emphasis on the significance of 1,2,3-triazoles synthesized via CuAAC reaction having potential to act as anti-microbial, anti-cancer, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, anti-tuberculosis, anti-diabetic, and anti-Alzheimer drugs. The importance of click chemistry is due to its 'quicker' methodology that has the capability to create complex and efficient drugs with high yield and purity from simple and cheap starting materials. The activity of different triazolyl compounds was compiled considering MIC, IC50, and EC50 values against different species of microbes. In addition to this, the anti-oxidant property of triazolyl compounds have also been reviewed and discussed.
RESUMEN
This report demonstrates the mimicking of an electronic circuit diagram towards Ce(iii) ion sensing response supported by molecular keypads. The probe naphthyl based triazole linked silatrane (NTS) was efficiently synthesized using a series of microwave mediated reactions. The luminescent sensor NTS was explored for the ion sensing response towards Ce(iii) ions using DMSO and DMSO : H2O 4 : 1 (v/v) as solvent media, respectively. The role of water in Ce(iii) ion sensing was detected as 'turn-off' response that contradicts the 'turn-on' with DMSO. Further, the sensing of NO3 - ions by NTS-Ce(iii) ensemble was associated with blue shift on absorption maxima. These mimicking response studies were sketched as circuit diagrams assisted by molecular keypad behaviour as IMPLICATION output logic gate.
