RESUMO
The compounds 2-chloro-N-(3-methoxyphenyl)acetamide (m-acetamide) and 2-(3-methoxyphenylamino)-2-oxoethyl methacrylate (3MPAEMA) were synthesized in this study for the first time in the literature. FTIR, 1H, and 13C NMR spectroscopic techniques were used to characterize it. Subsequently, computational techniques were used to assess various ADME factors, such as drug-likeness properties, bioavailability score, and adherence to Lipinski's rule. Finally, molecular docking experiments were conducted with the human topoisomerase α2 (TOP2A) protein to verify and validate the reliability and stability of the docking procedure. The results of the docking scores, which quantify binding affinity, indicated that these derivatives exhibited a stronger affinity for TOP2A.
RESUMO
In this study, for the first time in the literature, a 2-(3-methoxyphenylamino)-2-oxoethyl acrylate (3MPAEA) molecule was synthesized in two steps, and a 2-chloro-N-(3-methoxyphenyl)acetamide (m-acetamide) was obtained in the first step. Experimental results were obtained using FTIR, 1H, and 13C NMR spectroscopy methods for m-acetamide and 3MPAEA compounds created in the laboratory environment and compared with theoretical results. Band gap (BG) energy, chemical hardness, electronegativity, chemical potential, and electrophilicity index were calculated. With vibration spectroscopic analysis, atom-molecule vibrations of the theoretical and experimental peaks of the spectrum were observed. The locations of C and H atoms were determined by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The green, blue, and red regions of the potential energy map (MEP) map were examined. Some observed that the energy thermal, heat capacity, and entropy graphs increased in direct proportion to increasing the temperature in Kelvin, which is known as thermochemistry. The changes in the rotation, translation, and vibration of the molecule as its temperature increased were examined. When the thermochemistry surface map was examined, some observed that the temperature was high in the middle binding site of the molecules. Covalent interactions were graphed using the non-covalent interactions (NCIs) calculation method. In silico toxicity studies were carried out for m-acetamide and 3MPAEA molecules: fathead minnow LC50 (96 h), Daphnia magna LC50 (48 h), Tetrahymena pyriformis IGC50 (48 h), oral rat LD50, water solubility, bioconcentration factor, developmental toxicity, mutation, normal boiling point, flash point, melting point, density, thermal conductivity, viscosity, vapor pressure, etc. parameters were investigated.
RESUMO
Cancer is an uncontrolled growth of normal cells and apoptosis has an important role in cancer progression and cancer treatment. Antiapoptotic proteins are overexpressed in several tumors including breast, brain, lung cancer cells. The protein-ligand interaction has a critical role in drug designing. The present study aims to evaluate the interaction of synthesized N-cyclohexylmethacrylamide (NCMA) with proteins using in silico molecular docking and toxicity analyses. The NCMA monomer was synthesized and characterized by our team, previously. Kinetics stability, binding affinities and toxic potential of protein-NCMA complex were examined with the aid of molecular simulation. The toxicity results of this study indicate that NCMA is a sample with low toxic potential. According to the docking results, NCMA may be a drug active substance with chemical modifications and toxicity results support this situation. The drug-likeness and ADMET parameters were screened properties of NCMA.

Within the Amaryllidaceae family, the bulbous plant species Galanthus fosteri (G. fosteri) belongs to the Galanthus genus. Alkaloids with a broad variety of biological functions are typically found in the flora of this family. The G. fosteri plant's organs' antioxidant activity, antibacterial impact, and antimicrobial qualities were examined in this study. Total flavonoid contents (TFC) and total phenolic contents (TPC) of plant extracts were measured with spectrophotometric methods, and antioxidant activity was determined using the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging technique. The HPLC method was used to determine the phenolic compounds on a component basis. The antibacterial properties of the extracts were assessed using the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method, and the minimum inhibitory concentration method against the pathogens Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli. Additionally, combination tests were performed between the extract and antibiotics. Leaf and stem extracts demonstrated greater antioxidant qualities than bulb extracts, despite the fact that extracts of plant organs did not exhibit appreciable levels of TPC, TFC, or antioxidant qualities. According to the HPLC analysis results, it was determined that chlorogenic acid was present in all of the extracts. In fact, it was determined that only chlorogenic acid was 8.02 (mg/10 g) in G. fosteri bulb peel, which has antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. A molecular docking study has demonstrated for the first time that the antibacterial effect of chlorogenic acid might be due to DNA replication inhibition.
RESUMO
The antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant activities of 2-chloro-N-(4-methoxyphenyl)acetamide (p-acetamide) and 2-(4-methoxyphenylamino)-2-oxoethyl methacrylate (MPAEMA) were investigated by in vitro experiments and in silico analyses. MPAEMA has an antibacterial effect only against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus. It was determined that this did not affect any other bacteria and Candida glabrata yeast. On the other hand, p-acetamide showed antimicrobial activity against S. aureus ATCC 25923, C. glabrata ATCC 90030, Bacillus subtilis NRRL 744, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 551289, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Klebsiella pneumoniae NRLLB4420, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, and Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 1911. p-Acetamide showed the greatest antifungal effect by inhibiting the colony growth of Trichoderma longibrachiatum (98%). This was followed by Mucor plumbeus with 83% and Fusarium solani with 21%. MPAEMA inhibited colony growth of T. longibrachiatum by 95% and that of M. plumbeus by 91%. Also, p-acetamide and MPAEMA had a scavenging effect on free radicals. According to results of the in silico analysis, the antimicrobial effect of these compounds is due to their effect on DNA ligase. Based on drug-likeness analysis, they were found to be consistent with the Lipinski, Veber, or Ghose rule. p-Acetamide and MPAEMA may be used as drugs.

Colchicum autumnale L. also known as the autumn crocus, contains colchicine alkaloid having antifungal properties. The tuber of this plant is rich in terms of colchicine. In this research an ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) method was optimized for the extraction of colchicine from Colchicum autumnale L. bulbs before high-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection (HPLC-UV). Optimization of various extraction parameters was performed using response surface methodology (RSM) to evaluate the maximum colchicine yield from Colchicum autumnale L. bulbs. The Box-Behnken design (BBD) and RSM were used to investigate the effect of three key parameters (extraction time (20-60â¯min), extraction temperature (40-80⯰C) and ultrasound power (500-700â¯W) on extraction efficiency. The variance analysis suggested that the dependent response variable of yield of colchicine may be expressed by a quadratic polynomial model. The optimal theoretical extraction conditions were found to be an ultrasonication power of 602.4â¯W, an extraction time of 42â¯min and a temperature of 64⯰C. Under these conditions, the optimum foreseen yield was 0.237%. The experimental colchicine yield obtained by following the optimized conditions was found to be 0.238%. These values are very well compatible with each other.
RESUMO
In this study, we developed a simple and rapid solid phase extraction (SPE) method for the separation/preconcentration and determination of some trace metals by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). A new chelating resin, poly [2-(4-methoxyphenylamino)-2-oxoethyl methacrylate-co-divinylbenzene-co-2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid] (MPAEMA-co-DVB-co-AMPS), was synthesized and characterized. This chelating resin was used as a new adsorbent material for determination of Cd(II), Co(II), Cr(III), Cu(II), Fe(III), Mn(II), Pb(II), and Zn(II) ions. The parameters influential on the determination of this trace metals were examined. Under the optimum conditions, the detection limits (DL) of the method for trace metals were found to be (3s) in the range of 0.9-2.2 µg L(-1) (n=21), the preconcentration factor was calculated as 200 and the relative standard deviation was obtained achieved as ⩽2% for n=11. The method was performed for the determination of trace metals in some honey samples and standard reference materials.

A new chelating resin, poly(N-cyclohexylacrylamide-co-divinylbenzene-co-2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid) (NCA-co-DVB-co-AMPS) (hereafter CDAP) was synthesized and characterized. The influences of the analytical parameters such as pH of the sample solution, type and concentration of eluent, flow rates of the sample and eluent, volume of the sample and eluent, amount of chelating resin, and interference of ions were examined. The limit of detection (LOD) of analytes were found (3s) to be in the range of 0.65-1.90µgL(-1). Preconcentration factor (PF) of 200 and the relative standard deviation (RSD) of ⩽2% were achieved (n=11). The developed method was applied for determination of analytes in some dairy samples and certified reference materials.
