RESUMEN
Hydrogels based on biopolymers have attracted considerable interest in the last decades. Herein, an interpenetrating network hydrogel (IPN-Gel) adsorbent from starch-chitosan was fabricated facilely in one-pot through tandem Schiff base reaction and photopolymerization. First, aldehyde starch (DAS) was synthesized by the reaction of soluble starch with sodium periodate. Afterward, acrylamide (AM), 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS), polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate (PEGDMA), photoinitiator, chitosan and DAS were dissolved in water to obtain a clear solution. Schiff base reaction between chitosan and DAS took place quickly to form the first network, and then photopolymerization of AM, AMPS, and PEGDMA occurred under ultraviolet radiation to form the second network. The preparation conditions of the as-prepared IPN-Gel were optimized with two indexes of gel mass fraction and swelling ratio. Its swelling behavior with pH and temperature change was explored. Finally, its adsorption performance was characterized with methylene blue (MB) as a model contaminant. The maximum adsorption capacity of IPN-Gel can reach 2039 mg·g-1 at pH =10. Its adsorption performance accords with Langmuir isothermal model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model and it was mainly controlled by chemisorption. This strategy is expected to found broad application prospects in the preparation of hydrogel adsorbents.
RESUMEN
Chitosan is used in many applications due to its biodegradability, biocompatibility, nontoxicity, nonadhesiveness, and film-forming capabilities. Chitosan has antibacterial and antifungal activities, which are two of its other desirable attributes. However, chitosan can only dissolve in acidic liquids (1-3 % acetic acid), limiting its practical application. The hydroxyl and amino functional groups in the chitosan backbone are essential for chemical modification, which is a viable alternative for overcoming this obstacle. So, N- or O-, and N, O-substituted chitosan may yield derivatives with increased water solubility, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and bio-evaluation. In the same manner, the physicochemical properties of chitosan, including its mechanical and thermal properties, can be improved by cross-linking reactions. This review provides an overview of chitosan, including its origins and their solubility. Also, the review extend and discuss in details most of all chemical reactions that happened on the amino group, hydroxyl group, or both amino group and hydroxyl group to create modified chitosan-based organic materials. Finally, the problems that still need to be solved and probable future areas for study are discussed.
RESUMEN
A new bidentate Schiff base ligand (C16H16Cl2N4), condensation product of ethylene diamine and 4-chloro N-phenyl formamide, and its metal complexes [M(C16H16Cl2N4)2(OAc)2] (where M = Mn(II) and Zn(II)) were synthesized and characterized using various analytical and spectral techniques, including high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), elemental analysis, ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, AAS, molar conductance, 1H NMR, and powder XRD. All the compounds were non-electrolytes and nanocrystalline. The synthesized compounds were assessed for antioxidant potential by DPPH radical scavenging and FRAP assay, with BHT serving as the positive control. Inhibitory concentration at 50% inhibition (IC50) values were calculated and used for comparative analysis. Furthermore, the prepared compounds were screened for antibacterial activity against two Gram-negative bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis) and two Gram-positive bacteria (Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhi) using disk-diffusion methods, with amikacin employed as the standard reference. The comparison of inhibition zones revealed that the complexes showed better antibacterial activity than the ligand. To gain insights into the molecular interactions underlying the antibacterial activity, the ligand and complexes were analyzed for their binding affinity with S. aureus tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase (PDB ID: 1JIL) and S. typhi cell membrane protein OmpF complex (PDB ID: 4KR4). These analyses revealed robust interactions, validating the observed antibacterial effects against the tested bacterial strains.
RESUMEN
Induction of autophagic death in cancer cells is one of the promising strategies for the development of anti-cancer therapeutics. In the present study, we designed and synthesized a series of isatin Schiff base derivatives containing thioether structures. After discovering the highly active target compound H13 (IC50 = 4.83 µM) based on in vitro antiproliferation, we also found it had a high safety against normal cells HEK293 with CC50 of 69.01 µM, indicating a sufficient therapeutic window. In addition, to provide reference for subsequent studies, a model was successfully constructed by Sybyl software. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggested that H13-induced apoptosis may be closely related to ROS accumulation and mitochondrial dysfunction. Subsequent studies revealed that H13 inhibited cell proliferation by inducing cellular autophagy mainly through blocking signal of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. Altogether, these results suggested that H13 was potentially valuable as a lead compound.

RESUMEN
In this paper, a versatile heterogeneous nanocatalyst was fabricated employing a self-assembly technique. To commence, Fe3O4 MNPs were coated with a thin layer of SiO2 using the stobbers method. Subsequently, the surface was further functionalized with 3-CPMS, followed by a reaction with a Schiff base. Finally, nickel NPs were deposited on the surface through in situ deposition, forming the Fe3O4@SiO2@3-CPMS@L-Ni magnetic nanocatalyst. The architecture of this magnetic nanocatalyst was meticulously characterized through an array of sophisticated techniques: XRD, FT-IR, SEM, TEM, BET and VSM. The XRD diffraction pattern confirmed the presence of Fe3O4 MNPs, SiO2, and Ni peaks, providing evidence for successful synthesis. Moreover, the successful functionalization with a Schiff base was demonstrated by the presence of an azomethane peak in the FTIR spectra of the synthesized nanocatalyst. The fabricated nanocatalyst was adeptly utilized for the reduction of 4-NP, NB, and MO demonstrating a remarkably elevated rate of catalytic efficacy. Moreover, this catalyst was effortlessly retrievable through the application of an external magnet, and it maintained its catalytic prowess across at least six consecutive cycles. The utilization of water as an environmentally friendly solvent, coupled with the utilization of abundant and cost-effective nickel catalyst instead of the costly Pd or Pt catalysts, along with the successful recovery and scalability of the catalyst, render this method highly advantageous from both environmental and economic perspectives for the reduction of 4-NP, NB, and MO.

Despite the plethora of methods reported for fabricating ultraviolet (UV) shielding films using various UV absorbers to date, it remains a major challenge for the development of novel UV shielding films that simultaneously exhibit excellent transparency. In this work, a novel composite film (GA-x-CMC/PVA/PEI) is fabricated by integrating anionic carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), cationic polyethyleneimine (PEI), and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) via electrostatic and hydrogen bond interactions and further cross-linking with glutaraldehyde (GA). Herein, PVA expands hydrogen bonding networks, reduces film haze, and enhances its mechanical strength. GA acts as a crosslinker in producing Schiff bases with PEI and acetals with CMC and PVA. The synthesized GA-x-CMC/PVA/PEI composite film possesses a notable amount of unsaturated -CH=N- bonds of Schiff base, resulting from the condensation of PEI and GA, which exhibit superior shielding efficiency against both UV-A and UV-B rays while maintaining exceptional transparency, visibility, and simultaneously enhancing mechanical properties and thermal stability. Notably, increasing the content of PEI leads to almost complete shielding of the entire UV spectrum (<400 nm) due to the increasing of the number of -CH=N- unsaturated bonds. Furthermore, the obtained film without any UV-shielding additives has exceptional mechanical properties, hydrophobicity, and antibacterial properties, rendering it a wide application prospect.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Personalized medicine is a rapidly revolving field that offers new opportunities for tailoring disease treatment to individual patients. The main idea behind this approach is to carefully select safe and effective medications and treatment plant based on each patient's unique pharmacokinetic profile. Isoniazid is a first-line anti-tuberculosis drug that has interindividual variability in its metabolic processing, leading to significant differences in plasma concentrations among patients receiving equivalent doses. This variability necessitates the creation of individualized treatment regimens as part of personalized medicine to achieve more effective therapy. RESULTS: In this work, a deep eutectic solvent-based liquid-liquid microextraction approach for the separation and determination of isoniazid in human plasma by high-performance liquid chromatography with UV-Vis detection was developed for the first time. A new natural deep eutectic solvent based on thymol as a hydrogen bond donor and 4-methoxybenzaldehyde as a hydrogen bond acceptor was proposed as the extraction solvent. The developed microextraction procedure assumed two simultaneous processes during the mixing of the sample and extraction solvent: the derivatization of the polar analyte in the presence of 4-methoxybenzaldehyde (component of the natural deep eutectic solvent) with the formation of a hydrophobic Schiff base (1); mass transfer of the Schiff base from the sample phase to the extraction solvent phase (2). Under optimal conditions, the limits of detection and quantification were 20 and 60 µg L-1, respectively. The RSD value was <10 %, the extraction recovery was 95 %. SIGNIFICANCE: In this work, the possibility of isoniazid derivatization in the natural deep eutectic solvent phase with the formation of the Schiff base was presented for the first time. The approach provided the separation and preconcentration of polar isoniazid without the use of expensive derivatization agents and solid-phase extraction cartridges. The formation of the Schiff base was confirmed by mass spectrometry.

RESUMEN
The selective detection of Zn2⺠and Fe2⺠ions is critical in environmental and biological studies. Schiff base chemosensors hold promise, but exploration of thiophene-derived variants remains limited. This work introduces a novel thiophene-derived Schiff base sensor (TBH), synthesized through the condensation reaction of thiophene-2-carboxaldehyde with benzil-bis-hydrazone, for the selective detection of Zn2⺠and Fe2⺠ions. TBH exhibits remarkable selectivity, with a significant 185-fold fluorescence enhancement for Zn2⺠and complete quenching 99% for Fe2âº, allowing for distinct detection of both ions. Notably, TBH demonstrates high binding affinity towards Zn2⺠and Fe2âº, even in the presence of competing cations, forming stable 1:1 complexes. This finding is supported by absorption and emission titration studies and FT-IR analysis as well. This easily synthesized, rapid and cost-effective sensor offers a promising approach for sensitive and differentiated dual detection of Zn2⺠and Fe2⺠in environmental and biological systems.
RESUMEN
The process of wound healing is intricate and complex, necessitating the intricate coordination of various cell types and bioactive molecules. Despite significant advances, challenges persist in achieving accelerated healing and minimizing scar formation. Herein, a multifunctional hydrogel engineered via dynamic Schiff base crosslinking between oxidized dextran and quaternized chitosan, reinforced with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is reported. The resulting OQG hydrogels demonstrated injectability to aid in conforming to irregular wound geometries, rapid self-healing to maintain structural integrity and strong adhesion for intimate integration with wound beds. Moreover, the developed hydrogels possessed intrinsic antioxidant and antibacterial activities, mitigating inflammation and preventing infection. The incorporation of conductive rGO further facilitated the transmission of endogenous electrical signals, stimulating cell migration and tissue regeneration. In addition, the polydopamine-encapsulated asiaticoside (AC@PDA) nanoparticles were encapsulated in OQG hydrogels to reduce scar formation during in vivo evaluations. In vitro results confirmed the histocompatibility of the hydrogels to promote cell migration. The recovery of the full-thickness rat wounds revealed that these designed OQG hydrogels with the incorporation of AC@PDA nanoparticles could accelerate wound healing, reduce inflammation, facilitate angiogenesis, and minimize scarring when implemented. This multifunctional hydrogel system offers a promising strategy for enhanced wound management and scarless tissue regeneration, addressing the multifaceted challenges in wound care.
RESUMEN
Three novel Schiff base polymers were synthesized by using the Schiff base monomer obtained using aldehyde containing boric acid and amines containing hydroxyl groups as the starting materials. The polymers were synthesized at the same temperature and using the same amount of oxidizing agent by the oxidative polycondensation method. The characterization of all polymers and monomers was achieved by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-NMR), liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The thermal stability of these compounds was studied by employing thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and thermodynamics parameters such as activation energy (Ea), enthalpy (∆H), entropy (∆S), and Gibbs free energy(∆G) for the decomposition process were calculated using the Flynn-Wall-Ozawa method.
RESUMEN
Schiff bases are compounds that are widely distributed in nature and have practical value for industry and biomedicine. Another important use of Schiff bases is identifying metal ions and different molecules, including proteins. Their proneness to hydrolysis limits the utilization of Schiff bases to mainly non-aqueous solutions. However, by introducing -OH and -SH substituents to aromatic amine-bearing rings, it is possible to increase the resilience of the Schiff base to destruction in water. The present paper discusses how the hydroxyl or thiol group influences the spectral properties and kinetics of the hydrolysis and formation of Schiff bases derived from pyridoxal 5'-phosphate and aniline, 2-hydroxyaniline, and 2-mercaptoaniline using quantum chemical data. The spectral variation between different imines can be explained by taking into account the geometry and frontier molecular orbital alteration induced by the substituents. The changes in the hydrolysis rate are analyzed using the computed values of local reactivity indices.
RESUMEN
A donor-acceptor Schiff-base fluorescent probe BKS with chelation enhanced fluorescence (CHEF) mechanism was designed and synthesized via benzophenone(Acceptor), salicylaldehyde and carbazole(Donor) for Al3+ detection, which exhibited typical aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristic. BKS probe could provide outstanding selectivity to Al3+ with a prominent fluorescence "turn-on" at 545 nm in a wide pH range from 2 to 11. By the Job's plot, the binding stoichiometry ratio of probe BKS to Al3+ was determined 1:1. The proposed strategy offered a very low limit of detection at 1.486 µM in THF/H2O(V/V = 1:4, HEPBS = 10 mM, pH = 7.40), which was significantly lower than the standard of WHO (Huang et al., Microchem J 151:104195, 2019)-(Yongjie Ding et al., Spectrochim Acta Mol Biomol Spectrosc 167:59-65, 2021) guidelines for drinking water. BKS probe could provide a wider linear detection range of 50 to 500 µM. Furthermore, the probe could hardly be interfered by other examined metal ions. The analysis of Al3+ in real water samples with appropriate recovery (100.72 to 102.85) with a relative standard deviation less than 2.82% indicated the accuracy and precision of BKS probe and the great potential in the environmental monitoring of Al3+.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Currently, there is no antiviral licensed to treat chikungunya fever, a disease caused by the infection with Alphavirus chikungunya (CHIKV). Treatment is based on analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs to relieve symptoms. Our study aimed to evaluate the antiviral activity of sulfadoxine (SFX), an FDA-approved drug, and its derivatives complexed with silver(I) (AgSFX), salicylaldehyde Schiff base (SFX-SL), and with both Ag and SL (AgSFX-SL) against CHIKV. METHODS: The anti-CHIKV activity of SFX and its derivatives was investigated using BHK-21 cells infected with CHIKV-nanoluc, a marker virus-carrying nanoluciferase reporter. Dose-response and time of drug-addition assays were performed in order to assess the antiviral effects of the compounds, as well as in silico data and ATR-FTIR analysis for insights on their mechanisms of action. RESULTS: The SFX inhibited 34% of CHIKV replication, while AgSFX, SFX-SL, and AgSFX-SL enhanced anti-CHIKV activity to 84%, 89%, and 95%, respectively. AgSFX, SFX-SL, and AgSFX-SL significantly decreased viral entry and post-entry to host cells, and the latter also protected cells against infection. Additionally, molecular docking calculations and ATR-FTIR analysis demonstrated interactions of SFX-SL, AgSFX, and AgSFX-SL with CHIKV. CONCLUSIONS: Collectively, our findings suggest that the addition of metal ions and/or Schiff base to SFX improved its antiviral activity against CHIKV.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Organoselenium (OSe) agents and Schiff bases have demonstrated immense potential in the pharmaceutical field due to their broad spectrum of medicinal activities. METHODS: We herein report the antitumor activities of bis diselenide-based Schiff bases (3a-3c) derived from bis(4-aminophenyl)diselenide 2 and organoselenide-based Schiff bases (5a-c) derived from p-(methylselanyl)phenyl amine (4). The antitumor activity was estimated against fifteen cancer cell lines. Also, the growth inhibition percentage (GI%) of the Schiff bases tethered OSe compounds was evaluated against two normal cell lines, namely, human skin fibroblasts (HSF) and olfactory ensheathing cell line (OEC), to estimate the potential safety and selectivity. Furthermore, the cytotoxic inhibitory concentration 50 (IC50) was assessed against the cancer cell lines with the most outstanding GI% using the SRB assay. RESULTS: Compounds 3a, 3b, 3c, and 5a showed the lowest IC50 values compared to those of doxorubicin (DOX) against HCT116, HEPG2, A549, MDA-MB-468, and FaDu cancer cell lines, respectively, especially against the HCT116 subtype, assuring their potential anticancer activity. On the other side, the apoptotic potentials of the most active compounds (3a, 3b, 3c, and 5a) were also evaluated for apoptosis-related genes (P53, BAX, caspases 3, 6, 8, and 9, MMP2, MMP9, and BCL-2). Interestingly, compounds 3a, 3b, 3c, and 5a upregulated P53, BAX, and caspases 3, 6, 8, and 9 by (2.66, 2.26, 2.44, and 2.57)-, (1.62, 1.52, 1.37, and 1.47)-, (1.87, 1.75, 2.02, and 1.75)-, (1.96, 1.74, 2.06, and 2.30)-, (4.25, 3.78, 3.53, and 3.96)-, and (2.04, 1.72, 1.90, and 1.63)-fold change, respectively. Furthermore, MMP2, MMP9, and BCL-2 were downregulated by (0.39, 0.51, 0.33, and 0.28)-, (0.29, 0.32, 0.37, and 0.41)-, and (0.42, 0.35, 0.29, and 0.38)-fold-change, upon treatment with compounds 3a, 3b, 3c, and 5a, respectively, assuring the apoptotic potentials. Finally, molecular docking also greatly recommends the potential activity of the examined candidates (especially 3a and 3c) against the GSTP1 receptor as a recommended mechanism for their antitumor activity. CONCLUSION: Our findings point to significant anticancer activities of Schiff bases tethered OSe agents, suggesting their promising potential for development as effective anticancer drugs.

Chitosan (CS) has a natural origin and is a biodegradable and biocompatible polymer with many skin-beneficial properties successfully used in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industry. CS derivatives, especially those synthesized via a Schiff base reaction, are very important due to their unique antimicrobial activity. This study demonstrates research results on the use of hydrogel microspheres made of [chitosan-graft-poly(ε-caprolactone)]-blend-(ĸ-carrageenan)], [chitosan-2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde-graft-poly(ε-caprolactone)]-blend-(ĸ-carrageenan), and chitosan-sodium-4-formylbenzene-1,3-disulfonate-graft-poly(ε-caprolactone)]-blend-(ĸ-carrageenan) as innovative vitamin carriers for cosmetic formulation. A permeation study of retinol (vitamin A), L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C), and α-tocopherol (vitamin E) from the cream through a human skin model by the Franz Cell measurement system was presented. The quantitative analysis of the release of the vitamins added to the cream base, through the membrane, imitating human skin, showed a promising profile of its release/penetration, which is promising for the development of a cream with anti-aging properties. Additionally, the antibacterial activity of the polymers from which the microspheres are made allows for the elimination of preservatives and parabens as cosmetic formulation ingredients.
