Abstract
Christella dentata (Forssk.) Brownsey & Jermy has been commonly used in traditional medicinal practices but its effects on multi-drug-resistant (MDR) bacteria have remained unexplored. We aimed to assess the in vitro antibacterial potential of the ethanol extract of Christella dentata (EECD) against MDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa and to identify potential multi-targeting antibacterial phytocompounds through computer-aided drug design focusing on the LasR and LpxC proteins. PPS, FT-IR and GC-MS were used for profiling of the phytocompounds in EECD. The antimicrobial activity of EECD was assessed using in vitro agar well diffusion, disc diffusion, MIC and MBC. Computer-aided drug design was used to identify multi-targeting leads from GC-MS-annotated phytocompounds. EECD exhibited dose-dependent antibacterial activity and revealed the presence of 51 phytocompounds in GC-MS analysis. Among these, three phytocompounds; (2E,4E)-N-isobutylhexadeca-2,4-dienamide (CID 6442402), bicyclo[4.3.0]nonane, 2,2,6,7-tetramethyl-7-hydroxy- (CID 536446) and 1,4-diethylbenzene (CID 7734) were identified as promising antibacterial phytocompounds as they strongly bonded with LasR and LpxC. Of them, CID 536446 and CID 7734 exhibited multiple targeting abilities with LasR and LpxC. On further screening, both CID 536446 and CID 7734 exhibited favorable drug-able, pharmacokinetics and toxicity properties. Finally, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation proved the binding stability of bicyclo[4.3.0]nonane, 2,2,6,7-tetramethyl-7-hydroxy- and 1,4-diethylbenzene to active pockets of LasR and LpxC. The results of this study offer scientific validation for the traditional use of Christella dentata in bacterial infection-related diseases. It also suggests that bicyclo[4.3.0]nonane, 2,2,6,7-tetramethyl-7-hydroxy- and 1,4-diethylbenzene from Christella dentata might be responsible for the antibacterial activity and could act as phytopharmacological leads for the development of LasR and LpxC inhibitors against MDR P. aeruginosa.

Abstract
The sensitivity of a RbSnCl3 perovskite 2D layer toward NH3, SO2, and NO toxic gases has been studied via DFT analysis. The tri-atomic layer of RbSnCl3 possessed a tetragonal symmetry with a band gap of 1.433 eV. The adsorption energies of RbSnCl3 for NH3, SO2 and NO are -0.09, -0.43, and -0.56 eV respectively with a recovery time ranging from 3.4 × 10-8 to 3.5 ms. RbSnCl3 is highly sensitive toward SO2 and NO compared to NH3. The adsorption of SO2 and NO results in a significant structural deformation and a semiconductor-to-metal transition of RbSnCl3 perovskite. A high absorption coefficient (>103 cm-1), excessive optical conductivity (>1014 s-1), and a very low reflectivity (<3%) make RbSnCl3 a potential candidate for numerous optoelectronic applications. A significant shift in optical responses is observed through SO2 and NO adsorption, which can enable identification of the adsorbed gases. The studied characteristics signify that RbSnCl3 can be a potential candidate for SO2 and NO detection.

Abstract
The interaction between an antibiotic drug (cefixime trihydrate (CMT)) and a cationic surfactant (tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTAB)) was examined in the presence of both ionic and non-ionic hydrotropes (HTs) over the temperature range of 300.55 to 320.55 K. The values of the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of the TTAB + CMT mixture were experienced to have dwindled with an enhancement of the concentrations of resorcinol (ReSC), sodium benzoate (NaBz), sodium salicylate (NaS), while for the same system, a monotonically augmentation of CMC was observed in aq. 4-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) solution. A gradual increase in CMC, as a function of temperature, was also observed. The values of the degree of counterion binding (β) for the TTAB + CMT mixture were experienced to be influenced by the concentrations of ReSC/NaBz/NaS/PABA and a change in temperature. The micellization process of TTAB + CMT was observed to be spontaneous (negative standard Gibbs free energy change (ΔG0m)) at all conditions studied. Also, the values of standard enthalpy change (ΔH0m) and entropy change (ΔS0m) were found negative and positive, respectively (with a few exceptions), for the test cases indicating an exothermic and enthalpy-entropy directed micellization process. The recommended interaction forces between the components in the micellar system are electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. In this study, the values of ΔC0m were negative in aqueous NaBz, ReSC, and PABA media, and positive in case of NaS. An excellent compensation scenario between the enthalpy and entropy for the CMT + TTAB mixed system in the investigated HTs solutions is well defined in the current work.

Abstract
Cassia occidentalis L. is widely used in indigenous and traditional medicine, but its impact on multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacterial infections mostly remains unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the in vitro antibacterial efficiency of methanol and ethyl acetate extracts of C. occidentalis L. leaves (MECOL and EAECOL) against multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and to identify potential antibacterial agents through computational studies targeting the LasR protein. Initially, 82 compounds were identified using GC-MS analysis, and the functional groups were determined through FT-IR analysis. Both extracts of the plant exhibited dose-dependent antibacterial activity, with MICs of 104.16 ± 36.08 μg mL-1 for MECOL and 83.33 ± 36.08 μg mL-1 for EAECOL, and an MBC of 125 μg mL-1. Among the 82 compounds, 12 potential compounds were identified based on binding scores using molecular docking with the LasR protein and MM-GBSA analysis. Furthermore, screening for ADME properties, including physicochemical features, water solubility, lipophilicity, RO5 compliance, and toxicity, identified the top three compounds: methyl dihydrojasmonate, methyl benzoate, and 4a-methyl-4,4a,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-2(3H)-naphthalenone, which also demonstrated binding affinity with the active site residues of the LpxC protein of the bacteria. Additionally, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations confirmed the binding reliability of these three phytochemicals to LasR's active pocket, comparable to the protein native inhibitory ligands (C12-HSL). The study offers scientific support for the traditional use of C. occidentalis in treating bacterial infections, highlighting the potential of the three compounds as leads for developing LasR inhibitors to combat multi-drug resistant P. aeruginosa.

Abstract
In this study, hematite nanotube (HNT) and tyramine-based advanced nano-drug carriers were developed for inhibiting the growth of Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae). The HNT was synthesized by following the Teflon line autoclaved assisted hydrothermal process and tyramine was incorporated on the surface of the HNT to fabricate the formulated nano-drug. The nano-drug was prepared by conjugating meropenem (MP) on the surface of Tyramine-HNT and characterized using different techniques, such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR), etc. Furthermore, the drug-loading efficiency and loading capacity were measured using a UV-vis spectrometer. The pH, amount of Tyr, and HNT required for drug loading were optimized. A controlled and gradual manner of pH-sensitive release profiles was found after investigating the release profile of MP from the carrier drug. The antibacterial activity of MP@Tyramine-HNT and MP was compared through the agar disc diffusion method which indicates that antibacterial properties of antibiotics are enhanced after conjugating. Surprisingly, the MP@Tyramine-HNT exhibits a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of K. pneumoniae lower than MP itself. These results indicate the nanocarrier can reduce the amount of MP dosed to eradicate K. pneumoniae.
