Abstract
The paper presents a new analytical procedure for the determination and speciation of trace and ultratrace selenium in water, beverages, seafood, milk, and vegetables. The developed method is based on the dispersive micro-solid phase extraction with the use of new thiosemicarbazide-incorporated graphene as a solid sorbent, in combination of the total-reflection X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (TXRF). As a result, we have created an auspicious analytical tool for fast and sensitive analysis of samples with a complex matrix. Regardless of the specimen type, the method is characterized by a very low detection limit of 1.7 pg mL-1 and high precision. The developed strategy allowed us to solve common problems associated with selenium loss during the sample preparation for the TXRF measurement and also improve its performance toward the analysis of beverages and high saline/solid samples, which may even be impossible to perform using standard sample preparation procedures for a TXRF measurement.

Abstract
The high mortality rate of colon cancer indicates the insufficient efficacy of current chemotherapy. Thus, the discussion on engineered metal nanoparticles in the treatment of the disease has been considered. In this study, silver nanoparticles were functionalized with glutamine and conjugated with thiosemiccarbazide. Then, anticancer mechanism of Ag@Gln-TSC NPs in a colon cancer cell line (SW480) was investigated. Characterizing Ag@Gln-TSC NPs by FT-IR, XRD, EDS-mapping, DLS, zeta potential, and SEM and TEM microscopy revealed that the Ag@Gln-TSC NPs were correctly synthesized, the particles were spherical, with surface charge of - 27.3 mV, high thermal stability and low agglomeration level. Using MTT assay we found that Ag@Gln-TSC NPs were significantly more toxic for colon cancer cells than normal fibroblast cells with IC50 of 88 and 186 µg/mL, respectively. Flow cytometry analysis showed that treating colon cancer cells with Ag@Gln-TSC NPs leads to a considerable increase in the frequency of apoptotic cells (85.9% of the cells) and increased cell cycle arrest at the S phase. Also, several apoptotic features, including hyperactivity of caspase-3 (5.15 folds), increased expression of CASP8 gene (3.8 folds), and apoptotic nuclear alterations were noticed in the nanoparticle treated cells. Furthermore, treating colon cancer cells with Ag@Gln-TSC NPs caused significant down-regulation of the HULC Lnc-RNA and PPFIA4 oncogene by 0.3 and 0.6 folds, respectively. Overall, this work showed that Ag@Gln-TSC NPs can effectively inhibit colon cancer cells through the activation of apoptotic pathways, a feature that can be considered more in studies in the field of colon cancer treatment.

Abstract
As a novel energy device, microbial fuel cells (MFCs) have attracted much attention for their dual functions of electricity generation and sewage treatment. However, the sluggish oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) kinetic on the cathode have hindered the practical application of MFCs. In this work, metallic organic framework derived carbon framework co-doped by Fe, S, N tri-elements was used as alternative electrocatalyst to the conventional Pt/C cathode catalyst in pH-universal electrolytes. The amount of thiosemicarbazide from 0.3 to 3 g determined the surface chemical property, and therefore the ORR activity of FeSNC catalysts. The sulfur/nitrogen doping and Fe/Fe3C embedded in carbon shell was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The synergy of iron salt and thiosemicarbazide contributed to the improvement of nitrogen and sulfur doping. Sulfur atoms were successfully doped into the carbon matrix and formed a certain amount of thiophene- and oxidized-sulfur. The optimal FeSNC-3 catalyst synthesized with 1.5 g of thiosemicarbazide exhibited the highest ORR activity with a positive half wave potential of 0.866 V in alkaline and 0.691 V (vs. Reversible Hydrogen Electrode) in neutral electrolyte, which both outperformed the commercial Pt/C catalyst. However, as the amount of thiosemicarbazide surpassed 1.5 g, the catalytic performance of FeSNC-4 was lowered, and this could be assigned to the decreased defects and low specific surface area. The excellent ORR performance in neutral medium urged FeSNC-3 as good cathode catalyst in single chambered MFC (SCMFC). It showed the highest maximum power density of 2126 ± 100 mW m-2, excellent output stability of 8.14% decline in 550 h, chemical oxygen demand removal of 90.7 ± 1.6% and coulombic efficiency of 12.5 ± 1.1%, all superior to those of benchmark SCMFC-Pt/C (1637 ± 35 mW m-2, 15.4%, 88.9 ± 0.9%, and 10.2 ± 1.1%). These outstanding results were associated to the large specific surface area and synergistic interaction of multiple active sites, like Fe/Fe3C, Fe-N4, pyridinic N, graphite N and thiophene-S.

Abstract
The thiosemicarbazones and their derivatives have been recognized as antimicrobial agents against human pathogenic bacteria and fungi. Regarding these prospective, this study was designed to address the new antimicrobial agents from thiosemicarbazones and their derivatives. These derivatives were synthesized by multi-step synthesis methods, such as alkylation, acidification, esterification, and formed the 4-(4'-alkoxybenzoyloxy) thiosemicarbazones and its derivatives (THS1, THS2, THS3, THS4, and THS5). Afterward the synthesis, compounds were characterized by 1H NMR, FTIR spectra, and melting point. Later, the computational tools were applied to evaluate the drug likeness properties, bioavailability score, Lipinski rule, absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET). Secondly, the quantum calculations, for instance HOMO, LUMO and chemical descriptors, were calculated by the density functional theory (DFT). Finally, the molecular docking was performed against seven human pathogenic bacteria, black fungus (Rhizomucor mieh, Mucor lusitanicus, Mycolicibacterium smegmatis) and white fungus strains (Candida Auris, Aspergillus luchuensis, Candida albicans). To check and validate of molecular docking procedure and stability of docked complex for ligand and protein, the molecular dynamic was performed of docked complex. From the docking score with calculating the binding affinity, these derivatives could show a higher affinity than standard drug against all pathogens. From the computational details, it could be decided to do in-vitro test as antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aurious, Staphylococcus homonis, Salmonella typhi, and Shigella flexneria. The obtained result of antibacterial activity compared to standard drugs, and it was found that the synthesized compounds were almost same value of standard drug. Finally, it could be said from the in-vitro and in-silico study that the thiosemicarbazones derivatives are good antimicrobial agents.

Abstract
Emerging and re-emerging illnesses will probably present a new hazard of infectious diseases and have fostered the urge to research new antiviral agents. Most of the antiviral agents are analogs of nucleosides and only a few are non-nucleoside antiviral agents. There is quite a less percentage of marketed/clinically approved non-nucleoside antiviral medications. Schiff bases are organic compounds that possess a well-demonstrated profile against cancer, viruses, fungus, and bacteria, as well as in the management of diabetes, chemotherapy-resistant cases, and malarial infections. Schiff bases resemble aldehydes or ketones with an imine/azomethine group instead of a carbonyl ring. Schiff bases have a broad application profile not only in therapeutics/medicine but also in industrial applications. Researchers have synthesized and screened various Schiff base analogs for their antiviral potential. Some of the important heterocyclic compounds like istatin, thiosemicarbazide, quinazoline, quinoyl acetohydrazide, etc. have been used to derive novel Schiff base analogs. Keeping in view the outbreak of viral pandemics and epidemics, this manuscript compiles a review of Schiff base analogs concerning their antiviral properties and structural-activity relationship analysis.

Abstract
Chikungunya virus infection has become a global health concern because of its high rates of morbidity and mortality in patients with preexisting conditions. Inflammation and arthritis are the major symptoms of CHIKV that persist even after clearance of CHIKV. To develop an antiviral that can reduce infection and manage inflammation independent of the CHIKV infection, ibuprofen (IBU) conjugates with sulfonamide and thiosemicarbazide were synthesized. The conjugates, IBU-SULFA, IBU-ISS and IBU-IBT significantly inhibited CHIKV infection in vitro with a selectivity index (CC50/IC50) of > 11.9, > 25.1 and > 21, respectively. The reduction in infection was attributed to the interference of the conjugates in the early stages of CHIKV life cycle. With no acute oral toxicity, these compounds significantly reduced inflammation and arthritis in rats. Unlike IBU, the conjugates were not ulcerogenic. In conclusion, the conjugation imparted anti-CHIKV properties while retaining the anti-inflammatory properties of IBU. These findings can encourage further validation and research to develop an antiviral for CHIKV to manage both infection and arthritis.

Abstract
A novel fluorescent probe L consisting of β-Cyclodextrin (β-CD) and thiosemicarbazide moieties was designed for copper ions detection. Apparent fluorescence quenching of probe L in Tris-HCl(pH = 7.4)solution was observed only in the presence of Cu2+, among other interfering ions. The present probe L was 1:1 complexed with Cu2+ and the detection limit of probe L was calculated to be 1.37 μM. The results demonstrate that the probe L may provide a convenient method for visual detection of Cu2+ in the environmental and biological systems.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020. Researchers are continually finding new and more effective medications to battle the diseases. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to identify the emerging role of Thiosemicarbazide analogs for different types of cancer targets with a glance at different novel synthetic routes reported for their synthesis. METHODS A systematic literature review was conducted from various sources over the last 15 years with the inclusion of published research and review articles that involves the synthesis and use of thiosemicarbazide analogs for different targets of cancer. Data from the literature review for synthesis and anticancer potential for specific targets for cancer studies of thiosemicarbazide analogs are summarized in the paper. RESULTS There are several emerging studies for new synthetic routes of thiosemicarbazide derivatives with their role in various types of cancers. The main limitation is the lack of clinical trial of the key findings for the emergence of new anticancer medication with thiosemicarbazide moiety. CONCLUSION Emerging therapies exist for use of a limited number of medications for the treatment of cancer; results of the ongoing studies will provide more robust evidence in the future.

Abstract
A novel cationic iridium(III) complex [(ppy)2Ir(bPCPC)]PF6 (ppy: 2-phenylpyridine; bPCPC: 2-([2,2'-bipyridine]-4-carbonyl)-N-phenylhydrazinecarbothioamide) containing a thiosemicarbazide unit was designed and synthesized. The thiosemicarbazide unit was a sensitive functional group to Hg2+, when it reacted with Hg2+, it was desulphurized and thus led to the formation of 1,3,4-oxadiazole, [(ppy)2Ir(bPCPC)]PF6 resultantly was used as a "turn-on" chemodosimeter for luminescent detection of Hg2+ in DMF/PBS buffer solution at pH = 7-11. Except for Ag+, recognition capability of [(ppy)2Ir(bPCPC)]PF6 to Hg2+ was not interfered by other common metal ions (Co2+, Li+, Zn2+, Pb2+, K+, Al3+, Na+, Mn2+, Cu2+, Fe2+, Fe3+, Cr3+, Ba2+, Mg2+, Ni2+ and Ca2+). The detection limit was 1.83 × 10-9 mol∙L-1 (0.37 ppb), which indicated the complex was a highly sensitive chemiluminescent detection reagent of Hg2+.

Abstract
A novel fluorescent probe bearing triphenylamine, thiophene and thiosemicarbazide (TPA-TSC) was developed, and its distinct features were investigated. TPA-TSC demonstrated excellent selectivity towards Hg2+ ions, with a limit of detection (0.14 nM) among the lowest reported to date. It also exhibited a turn-off response by forming stable complex for a brief period (<30 s). Job plot analysis and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) revealed that TPA-TSC bound to Hg2+ with a 2:1 stoichiometry in an aqueous environment, remarkably the probe successfully detected Hg2+ ions in seabass, swordfish and different samples of water. In all, TPA-TSC offers a promising method for accurately determining the quality of seafood and water samples polluted with Hg2+.

Abstract
A novel series of N-phenylacetamide-oxindole-thiosemicarbazide hybrids were synthesized and evaluated for their tyrosinase inhibitory activity. According to tyrosinase inhibition results, all the synthesized compounds showed high tyrosinase inhibitory activity with IC50 values ranging from 0.8 to 3.88 µM in comparison to positive control kojic acid with IC50 value of 36.32 µM. Among tested compounds, analog 7o, containing the 2-methyl-4-nitrophenyl on N-phenylacetamide moiety displayed superior tyrosinase inhibition. This compound was around 45-fold more potent than kojic acid. The kinetic analysis of compound 7o demonstrated that this compound is a competitive inhibitor against tyrosinase. Docking study of this compound demonstrated that compound 7o interacted with critical histidine residues within tyrosinase active site.

Abstract
Cisplatin is an approved cancer therapeutic drug used to treat many solid tumors but its accumulation in the kidney, which causes nephrotoxicity, limits its clinical use. Therefore, investigators seek new alternatives to cisplatin that may be more effective and/or safer. Thiosemicarbazides are of great significance due to their expected biological activity including anticancer activities. The aim of this work is the study of the antitumor effect of Schiff base 4-ethyl-1-(pyridin-2-yl) thiosemicarbazide (HEPTS) on Ehrlich solid tumor-bearing mice in comparison to cancer therapeutic drug cisplatin. The experiment was run using sixty adult female Swiss albino mice. Mice were allocated into six groups (n = 10 mice). Healthy control, EAC control (untreated tumor), EAC + cisplatin, EAC + HEPTS, Healthy + HEPTS, and Healthy + solvent. After scarification, blood samples, liver organs, and solid tumors were collected. Tumor weights and volumes were registered. The concentrations of malondialdehyde (MDA), reduced glutathione (GSH), SOD, catalase (CAT), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), nitric oxide (NO), uric acid, creatinine, and urea were assessed. Median survival time (MST) and the percentage increase in lifespan (%ILS) were also calculated. Treatment of tumorized mice with HEPTS significantly reduced both tumor volume and weight while it significantly increased the MST, antioxidant marks and prolonged the %ILS. It also, significantly reduced MAD, creatinine, urea, uric acid, and NO levels. Compared to cisplatin, HEPTS effects were better. Our results recommend HEPTS as one of the probable cisplatin-alternatives for tumor treatment after more validation.

Abstract
The thiosemicarbazide based receptor was synthesized with 4-(diethylamino)salicylaldehyde and N- phenyl-thiosemicarbazide by the simple condensation method and the properties were studied under the naked eye, UV-Vis and fluorescence studies etc. The synthesized receptor detects cyanide, cobalt, and mercury in acetonitrile medium. The observed color changes included colourless to yellow for cyanide, colourless to green for cobalt and colourless to yellow for mercury which were seen under naked eye without the aid of any instruments. Furthermore, the cyanide bound receptor detects Cr3+ by the relay recognition method. The detection limit of receptor with cyanide, cobalt & mercury was found to be 5.8 × 10- 7 M, 3.6 × 10- 7 M and 8.1 × 10- 7 M respectively. Experimental results were verified by DFT calculations. Receptor was successfully employed in the construction of INHIBIT and IMPLICATION logic gates.

Abstract
In recent years, researchers were attracted to nanomaterials components for their potential role in cancer treatment. This study aimed to develop a novel and biocompatible cobalt hydroxide (Co(OH)2) nano-flakes that is functionalized by glutamic acid (Glu) and conjugated to thiosemicarbazide (TSC) for anticancer activities against human breast cancer MCF-7 cells. Physico-chemical properties of the Co(OH)2@Glu-TSC nanomaterial are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis, and Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. MTT assay, flow cytometry, and caspase-3 activity analysis used for evaluating anticancer properties of the Co(OH)2@Glu-TSC nanomaterial. The MTT assay result showed cellular uptake of Co(OH)2@Glu-TSC and cell viability loss in a concentration-dependent. Results of flow cytometry and caspase-3 activity analysis indicated the stimulation of apoptosis through an increase in Caspase-3 and nucleus fragmentation. In general, our findings indicate the anticancer activities of Co(OH)2@Glu-TSC nanomaterial and so it can be considered as a new treatment for breast cancer. However, further in vivo studies are required to evaluate the accumulation of Co(OH)2@Glu-TSC nanomaterial in healthy organs, such as the liver, kidneys, brain, and testes, and potential toxic effects.

Abstract
The challenges of viral infection have increased in recent decades due to the emergence of resistance, cross-resistance and drying up of antiviral drug discovery. Many neglected tropical viruses including the chikungunya virus, dengue virus & Japanese encephalitis virus have gradually become global pathogens. This has further increased the burden of viral infection which necessitates the continuous development of antiviral therapy. The antiviral chemistry began with the development of thiosemicarbazide derived thiosemicarbazones as antiviral. Although very few thiosemicarbazides have progressed into clinical application, it still inspires antiviral development. During last 3 decades (1990- 2020), several efforts have been made to develop suitable antiviral by using thiosemicarbazide scaffold. Its hybridization with other pharmacophores has been used as a strategy to enhance safety and efficacy. Cyclization and substitution of thiosemicarbazides have also been used to develop potent antiviral. With the ability to form coordinate bonds, thiosemicarbazides have been used either as metal complex or chelator against viruses. This work is an attempt to systematically review the research on the use of thiosemicarbazides as an antiviral scaffold. It also reviews the structure-activity relationship and translational suitability of thiosemicarbazide derived compounds.

Abstract
Vulvovaginal candidiasis is a serious health problem affecting numerous women around the world. Its treatment is based on antifungals which may not provide an effective cure because of the resistance presented by its etiological pathogens Candida spp. Candida albicans is the most prevalent species related to vulvovaginal candidiasis. Here, we evaluated the in vivo antifungal potential of thiosemicarbazide and thiosemicarbazide encapsulated within chitosan nanoparticles in a murine model of vulvovaginal candidiasis. The results demonstrated the antifungal capacity of free or nanoencapsulated thiosemicarbazide within chitosan to reduce the fungal load in the vaginal tissue of infected mice. In addition, histological analyses indicated the absence or a mild to moderate infection in thiosemicarbazide-treated groups. Statistical tests confirmed the existence of significant differences between the treated and the control groups. Therefore, our results suggest a potential application of thiosemicarbazide and encapsulated thiosemicarbazide as an alternative vulvovaginal candidiasis therapy.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is one of the most common cancers in modern societies. Previous studies have shown that the use of nanoparticle complexes is effective in the treatment of cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the cytotoxicity and anticancer properties of cobalt oxide (Co3O4) nanoparticles (NPs) functionalized by glutamic acid (Glu) and conjugated with thiosemicarbazide (TSC) on gastric cancer (AGS) cell line. First, the Co3O4@Glu/TSC nanoparticles were synthesized via co-condensation reaction. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) tests were performed for identifying the morphology, structure, size and functional groups of produced nanoparticles. MTT assay was also performed to evaluate cytotoxicity effect. Moreover, Annexin V/PI staining with flow cytometry analysis, caspase-3 activation assay, and Hoechst 33258 staining was carried out for evaluating apoptosis. The FTIR results showed that the components of Co3O4@Glu/TSC NPs complex were successfully fabricated. Crystallographic structure of Co3O4@Glu/TSC NPs was confirmed by XRD patterns. SEM results indicated that the size of the nanoparticles was in the range of 16-40 nm. An EDX spectrum was determined and data explained the existence of cobalt as the prominent element. MTT test results showed that AGS cell life was significantly decreased compared to the control group with increasing concentration of nanoparticles (dose-dependent) (P < 0.05), IC50 = 107.5 μg/mL. The results of flow cytometry assay and caspase-3 activity showed that fabricated Co3O4@Glu/TSC NPs induced apoptosis in the treated group. Moreover, Co3O4@Glu/TSC NPs treated AGS cells indicate an increase in the apoptotic characteristics including nuclear fragmentation. In the current work, the promising cytotoxicity and anti-cancer activities of Co3O4@Glu/TSC NPs complex toward gastric cancer (AGS) cell line were showed and it can be suggested for the drug delivery system.

Abstract
The series of new 4-substituted picolinohydrazonamides were synthesized (6-25) and evaluated for tuberculostatic activity. Compounds having a hydrophilic cyclic amine such as morpholine and pyrrolidine at the end of the thiosemicarbazide chain, exhibited the highest antimycobacterial activity. The antimycobacterial activity of compounds 6, 11, and 15 (MIC 0.4-0.8 μg/mL) was higher than that of reference drugs. Moreover, derivative 15 exhibited lower activity against other tested microorganism such as bacteria gram-positive, gram-negative or fungi. Thus, this compound is characterized by the selectivity of antimicrobial activity. Antiproliferative study conducted against human dermal fibroblasts (HDF) and mouse melanoma cell line (B16-F10) revealed low cytotoxicity of compound 15. Conducted research allowed to identify compound 15 as leading for further research.

Abstract
A novel chemosensor (H3NTS) has been designed for a fast and accurate detection of F- in acetonitrile medium. The UV-Vis, 1H, 13C NMR experiments and computational calculations demonstrate that H3NTS probe offers a potential colorimetric sensor for discriminating F- among other relevant anions. The detection limit is as low as 6 μM and a reversible colorimetric switch could be devised by sequential addition of F-/Ca2+. The promising application of H3NTS is also confirmed in real examples where the concentration of F- is a critical parameter, e.g., commercial toothpaste, paper strip and gel form analysis of samples.

Abstract
Here, we introduced a novel thiourea-based rhodamine compound as a chromo-fluorogenic indicator of nerve agent Soman and its simulant diethyl chlorophosphate (DCP). The synthesized probe N-(rhodamine B)-lactam-2-(4-cyanophenyl) thiourea (RB-CT), which has a rhodamine core linked by a cyanophenyl thiosemicarbazide group, enabled a rapidly and highly sensitive response to DCP with clear fluorescence and color changes. The detection limit was as low as 2 × 10−6 M. The sensing mechanism showed that opening of the spirolactam ring following the phosphorylation of thiosemicarbazides group formed a seven-membered heterocycle adduct, according to MS analysis and TD-DFT calculations. RB-CT exhibited high detecting selectivity for DCP, among other organophosphorus compounds. Moreover, two test kits were employed and successfully used to detect real nerve agent Soman in liquid and gas phase.

Abstract
A series of 1-[(4'-chlorophenyl)carbonyl-4-(aryl)thiosemicarbazide derivatives 1-25 was synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic techniques such as EI-MS and 1H NMR. All compounds were screened for urease inhibitory activity in vitro and demonstrated excellent inhibitory activity in the range of IC50 = 0.32 ± 0.01-25.13 ± 0.13 μM as compared to the standard thiourea (IC50 = 21.25 ± 0.13 μM). Amongst the potent analogs, compounds 3 (IC50 = 2.31 ± 0.01 μM), 6 (IC50 = 2.14 ± 0.04 μM), 10 (IC50 = 1.14 ± 0.06 μM), 20 (IC50 = 2.15 ± 0.05 μM), and 25 (IC50 = 0.32 ± 0.01 μM) are many folds more active than the standard. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) was rationalized by looking at the effect of diversely substituted aryl ring on inhibitory potential which predicted that regardless of the nature of substituents, their positions on aryl ring is worth important for the potent activity. Furthermore, to verify these interpretations, in silico study was performed on all compounds and a good correlation was perceived between the biological evaluation and docking study of compounds.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Compounds containing thiadiazole moiety are cognized to possess with variety of clinical and therapeutic activity. Finding a suitable drug target for newly synthesized compounds remain a major bottle neck in current high throughout medicinal chemistry era. AIM To effectively synthesize di substituted thiadiazole compounds and demonstrate drug target identification using an in silico pharmacophore probing approach. Moreover, we also aim to validate the suitability of identified drug target. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cost-effective and environmental friendly chemical synthesis scheme for production of di substituted thiadiazole compounds was employed. Target identification was conducted by Pharmmapper software. Validation was accomplished by performing molecular docking and further Molecular Hydrophobic Potential (MHP) analysis. RESULTS Pharmacophore probing base approach identified hepatocyte growth factor receptor (c-Met) as a suitable biological target for newly synthesized compounds. Binding free energy values indicate that compound 4b, 4e, 4g and 4h has tremendous potential to be further used as lead compound to design selective inhibitors of c-Met receptor. MHP data from current study supports the possibility that hydrophobic contacts might act as major factor stabilizing thiadiazole- c-Met complex. Moreover, in silico observations of current study are in absolute accordance with previously described in vitro and crystallographic analysis. CONCLUSION We demonstrate that thiadiazole compounds synthesized in current investigation has high potential to act in modulation of hepatocyte growth factor receptor (c-Met) activity and thereby act as putative therapeutic agent in cancer therapy.

Abstract
In this research, multiwall carbon nanotube was magnetized and subsequently functionalized by thiosemicarbazide. After characterization by FTIR, BET, SEM, EDAX, and VSM techniques, the magnetized adsorbent (multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/Fe3O4) was used for removal of Hg2+ from aqueous solutions and the experimental conditions were optimized. The adsorption capacity of 172.83 mg g-1 was obtained at 25 °C and pH = 3 which was superior to the value obtained for initial multiwall carbon nanotube, magnetized sample, and many previously reported values. In the presence of Pb+2 and Cd+2, the adsorbent was selective towards mercury when their concentration was respectively below 50 and 100 mg L-1. The adsorption process was kinetically fast and the equilibration was attained within 60 min with 69.5% of the capacity obtained within 10 min. The used adsorbent was regenerated by HNO3 solution, and the regenerated adsorbent retained 92% of its initial capacity. The magnetic sensitivity of the adsorbent allowed the simple separation of the used adsorbent from the solution by implying an appropriate external magnetic field. The adsorption data was well fitted to the Langmuir isotherm model, indicating homogeneous and monolayer adsorption of mercury by the adsorbent.

Abstract
In this study, the antibacterial, cytotoxic and antiproliferative activities of novel thiosemicarbazide derivatives were assessed. Our results demonstrated that some of the novel compounds possess good antibacterial properties against Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcussanguinis and are only slightly cytotoxic; thus, they exhibit an excellent therapeutic index, which is higher than that of ethacridine lactate. Moreover, our data showed that compounds 2 and 4 have an antiproliferative activity against human breast adenocarcinoma and human hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines. We expect that the novel thiosemicarbazide derivatives can be used as agents for treatment of dental caries and also for chemotherapy support.

Abstract
A novel series of indolylthiosemicarbazides (6a–6g) and their cyclization products, 4-thiazolidinones (7a–7g), have been designed, synthesized and evaluated, in vitro, for their antiviral activity against a wide range of DNA and RNA viruses. Compounds 6a, 6b, 6c and 6d exhibited notable antiviral activity against Coxsackie B4 virus, at EC50 values ranging from 0.4 to 2.1 μg/mL. The selectivity index (ratio of cytotoxic to antivirally effective concentration) values of these compounds were between 9 and 56. Besides, 6b, 6c and 6d also inhibited the replication of two other RNA viruses, Sindbis virus and respiratory syncytial virus, although these EC50 values were higher compared to those noted for Coxsackie B4 virus. The SAR analysis indicated that keeping the free thiosemicarbazide moiety is crucial to obtain this antiviral activity, since the cyclization products (7a–7g) did not produce any antiviral effect.

Abstract
Occurrence of antibacterial and antimycobacterial resistance stimulated a thrust to discover new drugs for infectious diseases. Herein we report the work on re-engineering nalidixic acid's chemical scaffold for newer leads. Stepwise clubbing of quinoxaline, 1,2,4-triazole/1,3,4-oxadiazole with nalidixic acid yielded better compounds. Compounds were screened against ciprofloxacin resistant bacteria and Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv species. Results were obtained as minimum inhibitory concentration, it was evident that molecule with quinoxaline linked azide as side chain served as antitubercular lead (<6.25 μg/ml) whilst molecule with oxadiazole or triazole linked quinoxaline side chain served as anti-bacterial lead. Few compounds were significantly active against Escherichia coli and Proteus vulgaris with MIC less than 0.06 μg/ml and relatively potent than ciprofloxacin. No true compound was potentially active against Salmonella species as compared to amoxicillin.

Abstract
A new metal complexes formed by the reaction of (Z)-N-benzoyl-N'-(2-oxo-2-(phenylamino)acetyl)carbamohydrazonothioic acid (H2PABT) and Cd(II), Hg(II), Zn(II) and U(VI)O2(2+) ions. The isolated complexes were prepared and characterized by conventional techniques. The IR data revealed that the ligand behaves as mononegative tridentate in Zn(II) and U(VI)O2(2+) complexes also, binegative tetradentate on Cd(II) and Hg(II) complexes. On the basis of magnetic and electronic spectral data an octahedral geometry for the U(VI)O2(2+) complex, a tetrahedral structure for the Cd(II), Zn(II) and Hg(II) complexes have been proposed. The IR spectrum of ligand which determined experimentally is compared with those obtained theoretically from DFT calculations. Also, the bond lengths, bond angles, HOMO, LUMO and dipole moments have been calculated. The calculated HOMO-LUMO energy gap reveals that charge transfer occurs within the ligand molecules. The calculated values of binding energies indicates the stability of complexes is higher that of ligand. Also, the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters for the different thermal degradation steps of the complexes were determined by Coats-Redfern and Horowitz-Metzger methods. Moreover, the ligand and its complexes were screened against Bacillus subtilis as Gram positive bacteria and Escherichia coli Gram negative bacteria using the inhibitory zone diameter. Also the antitumor activities of the ligand and its complexes have been evaluated against liver (HePG2) and breast (MCF-7) cancer cells. Out of all the synthesized compounds, [Hg2(PABT)Cl2(H2O)2] and [(UO2)(HPABT)(OAc)(H2O)] complexes showed high antibacterial activity with 55.5% while H2PABT showed the best cytotoxic effect on liver and breast cancer cells with IC50 2.10 and 5.91 of cytotoxicity respectively.

Abstract
Two new triphenylamine-cored probes (L1, L2) with different receptor units have been synthesized and fully characterized by IR, NMR and MS spectra. Their photophysical properties have been investigated in detail. The recognition abilities of two probes were evaluated by a series of metal ions, which showed that L1 could recognize Cu(2+) over other metal ions. L2 could respond to Cu(2+), Hg(2+) in a short time, which interferes with a little each other. The Job's plot and (1)H NMR titration of L1 with Cu(2+) and L2 with Cu(2+) (Hg(2+)) in CD3CN verified the coordination mode of complexes L1-Cu(2+), L2-Cu(2+) and L2-Hg(2+), respectively. The limit of detection of L2 for Cu(2+) was lower than that of L1 towards Cu(2+). The results demonstrated that the receptor units in the probes had remarkable effect on recognizing metal ions. Meanwhile, L1 and L2 showed potential application in bio-imaging after mixing with Cu(2+).

Abstract
A new series of thiosemicarbazones (TSCs) and their 1,3,4-thiadiazolines (TDZs) containing acetamide group have been synthesized from thiosemicarbazide compounds by the reaction of TSCs with cyclic ketones as well as aromatic aldehydes. The structures of newly synthesized 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives obtained by heterocyclization of the TSCs with acetic anhydride were experimentally characterized by spectral methods using IR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR and mass spectroscopic methods. Furthermore, the structural, thermodynamic, and electronic properties of the studied compounds were also studied theoretically by performing Density Functional Theory (DFT) to access reliable results to the experimental values. The molecular geometry, the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) and Mulliken atomic charges of the studied compounds have been calculated at the B3LYP method and standard 6-31+G(d,p) basis set starting from optimized geometry. The theoretical (13)C chemical shift results were also calculated using the gauge independent atomic orbital (GIAO) approach and their respective linear correlations were obtained.

Abstract
Three new NOS donor ligands have been prepared by addition ethanolic suspension of 2-hydrazino-2-oxo-N-phenyl-acetamide to phenyl isocyanate (H2PAPS), phenyl isothiocyanate (H2PAPT) and benzoyl isothiocyanate (H2PABT). The Ni(II) complexes prepared from the chloride salt and characterized by conventional techniques. The isolated complexes were assigned the formulaes, [Ni2(PAPS)(H2O)2](H2O)2, [Ni(H2PAPT)Cl2(H2O)](H2O)2 and [(Ni)2(HPABT)2Cl2(H2O)2], respectively. The IR spectra of complexes shows that H2PAPS behaves as a binegative pentadentate via both CO of hydrazide moiety in keto and enol form, enolized CO of cyanate moiety and the CN (azomethine) groups of enolization. H2PAPT behaves as neutral tridentate via both CO of hydrazide moiety and CN (azomethine) group due to SH formation and finally H2PABT behaves as mononegative tetradentate via CO and enolized CO of hydrazide moiety, CO of benzoyl moiety and C=S groups. The experimental IR spectra of ligands are compared with those obtained theoretically from DFT calculations. Also, the bond lengths, bond angles, HOMO (Highest Occupied Molecular Orbitals), LUMO (Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital) and dipole moments have been calculated. The calculated HOMO-LUMO energy gap reveals that charge transfer occurs within the molecule. The theoretical values of binding energies indicate the higher stability of complexes than of ligands. Also, the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters for the different thermal degradation steps of the complexes were determined by Coats-Redfern and Horowitz-Metzger methods. The antibacterial activities were also tested against B. Subtilis and E. coli bacteria. The free ligands showed a higher antibacterial effect than their Ni(II) complexes. The antitumor activities of the Ligands and their Ni(II) complexes have been evaluated against liver (HePG2) and breast (MCF-7) cancer cells. All ligands were found to display cytotoxicity that are better than that of Fluorouracil (5-FU), while Ni(II) complexes show low activity.

Abstract
The thiosemicarbazides 3a-c were appeared by reaction of the corresponding substituted hydrazides 1a-c with allylisothiocyanate 2. Synthesis of some novel 1,2,4-triazole-thiols 4a-c bearing a pyridyl unit using 1-(x-picolinoyl)-4-allyl-thiosemicarbazides (x = 2,3,4) in an alkaline solution, is reported. Also, the S-alkylation of triazole derivatives 5-7a-c is described. The structure of the synthesized compounds resulted from the IR, (1)H and -(13)C NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis data. The antibacterial studies to all of the synthesized compounds against B. cereus, E. coli, P. aeroginosa, S. aureus and E. faecalis as MIC values are reported. Some of these compounds such as 7a, 4a and 3a exhibited a good to significant antibacterial activity.

Abstract
1-Benzoyl-4-phenyl-3-thiosemicarbazide (H3bpt) was treated with acid - base in one sequence and base - acid in other sequence, both of which lead to ring formation of thiosemicarbazide group, giving N-phenyl-5-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-amine (Hppta) in the first case and 4,5-diphenyl-2,4-dihydro-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione (Hdptt) in the second case. The primary (H3bpt) as well as the resulting compounds (Hppta & Hdptt) has been characterized by elemental analyses, NMR, FTIR and Raman spectroscopic techniques. The quantum chemical calculations of the compounds are performed using DFT/B3LYP/6311G(d,p) method for geometry optimizations and also for prediction of the molecular properties. The cyclization is confirmed by disappearance of many bands belonging to the open chain subgroups of H3bpt such as; NH stretching, NH bending, CN stretching, NH puckering, CO stretching etc. The ring formation of 1-benzoyl-4-phenyl-3-thiosemicarbazide (H3bpt) has been further confirmed by the appearance of many bands belonging to the closed ring of thiosemicarbazide in the resulting compounds Hppta and Hdptt.

Abstract
We report synthesis, anti-tuberculosis activity and 3D-QSAR study of forty nine hydrazide, semicarbazide and thiosemicarbazide derivatives of 4-(adamantan-1-yl)quinoline. The most potent compounds upon evaluation for anti-tuberculosis activity exhibited MIC99 of 3.125 μg/mL against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strain. We applied the in silico technique of 3D-QSAR to study structure activity relationship of the synthesized compounds. The developed CoMFA model exhibited excellent r(2)ncv of 0.971, and r(2)cv of 0.543. The predicted r(2)pred of 0.883 showed that the predicted values were in good agreement with the experimental values. Further, the contour map analysis, suggested that the sterically bulky and electronegative substitutions at the para position of the phenyl ring are favorable for anti-tuberculosis activity.

Abstract
Hg(II), Cd(II) and binuclear Zn(II) complexes derived from the tetradentate N(1)-ethyl-N(2)-(pyridine-2-yl) hydrazine-1, 2-bis (carbothioamide) ligand (H2PET) have been prepared and characterized by conventional techniques. The isolated complexes acquired the formulas, [Hg(HPET)(H2O)2Cl]⋅H2O, [Cd(HPET)Cl] and [Zn2(HPET)(PET)(OAc)]⋅H2O, respectively. IR data revealed that the ligand behaves as monobasic tridentate through (CN)py, (C-S) and new (NC)azomethine(∗) groups in both Hg(II) and Cd(II) complexes. In the binuclear Zn(II) complex, the behavior of ligand contains two types, where H2PET acts as dibasic tetradentate via (CN)py, both deprotonated (C-SH) and the new (NC)azomethine(∗) towards two Zn atoms and also it acts as monobasic tridentate via (CS), deprotonated (C-SH) and (CN)py towards the same Zn atoms. An octahedral geometry for Hg(II) complex and tetrahedral geometry for both Cd(II) and Zn(II) complexes were proposed. The bond lengths, bond angles, HOMO, LUMO and dipole moment have been calculated by DFT using materials studio program to confirm the geometry of ligand and its metal complexes. The association constant of the ligand and the stability constants of its complexes as well as the thermodynamic parameters were calculated by pH metric measurements at 298, 308 and 318K in 50% dioxane-water mixture, respectively. Also, the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters for the different thermal degradation steps of the complexes were determined by Coats-Redfern and Horowitz-Metzger methods. Moreover, the anti-oxidant (using ABTS and DPPH methods), anti-hemolytic, and cytotoxic activities of the compounds have been tested.
