Published: June 2024

Recent clinical research has brought attention to the rising incidence of drug resistance to well-established treatments. Antibiotics and drug resistance in particular have posed a severe threat to human health. Metal complexes have long been important in the development of medical science. Many chemical substances employed in medicine lack an entirely organic method of action, and for activation or biotransformation, the metal salt is necessary, either directly or indirectly. Metallo medicines have long attracted the interest of researchers due to their improved theranostic action through altering the pharmacological properties of the complexes towards biological receptors. Metal complexes, which have a high medical value, have already been shown to have a wide range of pharmacological actions by regulating a variety of molecular targets. They make effective chelating ligands for metal coordination because heterocyclic rings contain heteroatom(s), phenolic oxygen, carbonyl, hydroxyl, and/or heteroatom(s). Basically, the metal complexes of ferrocenyl chalcones and bidentate chalcone/Schiff base analogues have demonstrated tremendous promise. This chapter intends to draw attention to current data supporting the use of chalcone as a preferred scaffold in medicinal chemistry. For medicinal and bioinorganic chemists, understanding chelating mode, their stoichiometric properties, and mode(s) of action may be helpful in designing and developing novel, and economically advantageous metal complexes for a variety of biomedical applications.

Authors: Hari Naik Ramavath , Sahu Jyoti
Published: June 2024

Fatty acid salts are used in numerous industrial applications. Understanding thermodynamics is crucial for achieving the desired quality of products in industries and for addressing a variety of environmental issues. we must understand thermodynamics. From sodium formate to sodium heptylate, we've taken a solution of seven sodium fatty acid salts and divided them into electrostatic and non-electrostatic depending on their constituents. An electrostatic contribution to the osmotic coefficient is given by the carboxylic group in the salt, while a non-electrostatic contribution is given by the hydrocarbon compounds in the salt. The hydrophobic part of hydration has received much less research attention than the hydrophilic part (Electrostatic contribution). To determine the non-electrostatic contribution, we employed the Flory-Huggins theory. For Long-chain electrolytes' hydrocarbon chains' miscibility is governed by the entropic force balances, which are typically negligible, and local interactions between various segments, which only favour miscibility in the presence of certain forces. We observe that for long-chain electrolyte solution, the hydration number is the same because the only carboxylic group is responsible for hydration, and the rest hydrocarbon chain will not contribute to hydration. The debey-Huckle model is used to calculate Electrostatic Contribution to the osmotic coefficient.
