1. Nicotine as a Catalyst for Chlorination Promoted by Hypochlorous Acid: Experimental and Theoretical Studies
There is robust evidence of the hypochlorous acid (HClO)-mediated damage in biomolecules, and nicotine boosts the chlorination potency of HClO. We present experimental and theoretical evidence of the mechanism by which nicotine catalyzes the chlorination of pyranine. The rate constants for chlorination of pyranine by HClO were measured in the presence (5.3 �

2. GRAPHEN-PHENYL-NH2 AS NANOCARRIER: A DENSITY FUNCTIONAL THEORY STUDY
Recently, graphene and modified graphene as one of the most suitable and the most important carbon nanomaterials have been introduced for drug delivery. In this paper, we have studied the binding characteristics of the EDC-NHS cross-linking process of graphene-phenyl-NH2 and 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) drug in both gas and solvent phases by density functiona

3. VIBRATION CHARACTERISTICS, CHEMICAL BONDS AND WEAK INTERACTIONS OF 4- AND 5-HYDROXYSALICYLIC ACID INVESTIGATED BY TERAHERTZ SPECTROSCOPY AND DENSITY FUNCTIONAL THEORY
The terahertz (THz) absorption spectra of 4- and 5-hydroxysalicylic acid were measured by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) in the range of 0.4-2.8 THz. The unit cells of both were calculated by density functional theory (DFT), and the theoretical simulation and experimental data were basically in agreement. To further interpret the origin of the

4. FGF23 levels as a marker of physical performance and falls in community-dwelling very old individuals
ABSTRACT Objective: The fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) has been related to biological aging, but data in elderly individuals are scant. We determined the profile of serum FGF23 levels in a population of very-old individuals and studied their correlations with parameters of bone metabolism and health markers, as functional performance. Materials and me

5. A Physical Study to Explain Response Differences between the BID and FID Detectors for PAHs and Pesticides
The dielectric barrier discharge ionization detector (BID) is one of the most modern detectors commercially available for gas chromatography (GC). Its technology based on the sample ionization through the energy released from the helium plasma generation process gives it the ability to act as a universal detector and a greater response to various types of co

6. Synthesis and Molecular Modeling Study of Two Bromo-Dimethoxybenzaldehydes
This work describes the synthesis, molecular structure, and packaging of the compounds 6-bromo-2,3-dimethoxybenzaldehyde (6-BRB) and 5-bromo-2,3-dimethoxybenzaldehyde (5 BRB). Characterization in the solid-state was carried out by X-ray diffraction, and the analysis of the interactions was described by the Hirshfeld surface, which helps in understanding the

7. DFT, Molecular Docking, and ADME/Tox Screening Investigations of Market-Available Drugs against SARS-CoV-2
A series of drugs was investigated to determine structural, electronic and pharmacological properties, as well as the molecular affinity for the main protease of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The drugs were submitted to density functional theory calculations to optimize structures and predict binding preferences. The optimized

8. New Pair of 2-Amino-naphthoxazoles Derived from β-Lapachone: Synthesis, Spectral Evaluation and Crystal Structure
This work describes a novel synthetic route for obtaining 2-amino-naphthoxazoles derived from β-lapachone, which consists of a condensation reaction between β-lapachone and thiourea in a basic medium. This synthetic approach can be seen as a potential route for obtaining 2-amino-oxazoles from quinones. The obtained amino-naphthoxazoles were characterized b

9. First-Principles Calculations of a New Semi-Conductive Carbon Allotrope Named ABF-Carbon
Carbon is an extremely versatile element and can generate a plethora of structures with distinct properties. Proposing new possible metastable allotropic structures for carbon has been the subject of increasing interest over the past few years. In this contribution, we present a new carbon allotrope, named ABF-Carbon, based on the connection of spiropentadie

10. In silico Evaluation of Cucurbit[6]uril as a Potential Detector for Cocaine and Its Adulterants Lidocaine, Caffeine, and Procaine
Illicit drugs and their trafficking require worldwide efforts in investigation, detection, and control. Colorimetric tests are often applied to identify drugs. Cocaine has some well-known adulterants that can provide a false positive response. Cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6]) has been suggested as a potential detector for cocaine and other illicit drugs. This work us

11. SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION, DFT MODELING AND IN VITRO ANTIMYCOBACTERIAL ACTIVITY ASSAYS OF A SILVER(I)-ISONIAZID COMPLEX
In the present work, a silver(I) complex with the antimycobacterial drug isoniazid (inh) is described. Elemental and thermogravimetric analyses confirmed a 1:1 metal:ligand ratio for the silver-isoniazid (Ag-inh) complex with molecular composition AgC6H7N3O·NO3. Infrared (IR) analysis suggests a bidentate coordination of isoniazid to silver by the nitrogen

12. Synthesis, Spectroscopic Characterization, DFT Calculations and Preliminary Antifungal Activity of New Piperine Derivatives
Four new piperine derivatives, PC1-PC4, were synthesized, and their structures were fully characterized by infrared (IR) and 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopies. Quantum chemical calculations were performed using density functional theory (DFT) with the B3LYP-D3/6-31G(d,p) and 6-311+G(2d,p) basis sets. Electronic properties, such as th
