Toxicity, Pharmacokinetic Profile, and Compound-Protein Interaction Study of Polygonum minus Huds Extract.

Several phytochemicals with potential for bioactivity can be found in Polygonum minus (PM). The goal of this investigation was to establish the minimally toxic dose of PM for pharmaceutical use. To explain the stability and reactivity of the compounds under study, the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO), the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), and the natural bond orbital were all combined. Additionally, the cytotoxicity of the aqueous and ethanolic extract of PM on the (Hs888Lu) cell line was determined using the MTS Assay Kit (cell proliferation) (colorimetric). The hematological, hepatic, and renal functions were examined during the acute toxicity test on Sprague Dawley rats. SwissADME and ADMET were used to investigate the absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) of the chemicals isolated from PM, including gallic acid, quercetin, rutin, and coumaric acid (PMCs). Molecular docking was used to examine the inhibitory effect against human H+/K+ ATPase, cyclooxygenase-2, and acetylcholinesterase. The outcomes indicated that neither the aqueous nor the ethanolic extract of PM is harmful. The development of plant-based medicine was made possible by the phenolic chemicals, primarily quercetin and rutin, which exhibit a considerable binding affinity to human H+/K+ ATPase, cyclooxygenase-2, and acetylcholinesterase.

Computational design and molecular modeling of the interaction of nicotinic acid hydrazide nickel-based complexes with H2S gas.

The application of nickel complexes of nicotinic acid hydrazide ligand as a potential gas-sensor and adsorbent material for H2S gas was examined using appropriate density functional theory (DFT) calculations with the ωB97XD/Gen/6-311++G(d,p)/LanL2DZ method. The FT-IR spectrum of the synthesized ligand exhibited a medium band at 3178 cm-1 attributed to ν(NH) stretching vibrations and strong bands at 1657 and 1600 cm-1 corresponding to the presence of ν(C[double bond, length as m-dash]O) and ν(C[double bond, length as m-dash]N) vibration modes. In the spectrum of the nickel(ii) complex, the ν(C[double bond, length as m-dash]O) and ν(C[double bond, length as m-dash]N) vibration bands experience negative shifts to 1605 cm-1 and 1580 cm-1, respectively, compared to the ligand. This indicates the coordination of the carbonyl oxygen and the azomethine nitrogen atoms to the Ni2+ ion. Thus, the sensing mechanism of the complexes indicated a short recovery time and that the work function value increases for all complexes, necessitating an excellent H2S gas sensor material. Thus, a profound assertion was given that the complex sensor surfaces exhibited very dense stability with regards to their relevant binding energies corresponding to various existing studies.
