Six different Schiff bases to be used as turn-on fluorescent probes based on photoinduced electron transfer (PET) mechanism for the recognition of aluminum ions were successfully synthesized and characterized. The binding abilities of synthesized compounds with different metal cations were investigated by absorption and emission spectra. From the spectrophotometric experiments, it were seen that compound SK-1 displayed an excellent fluorescence response towards targeted aluminum ions probably due to its suitable chelating structure. Furthermore, such compound SK-1 also showed high sensitivity and selectivity response towards aluminum ions over other competing ions. In addition, the potential biological applications of SK-1 to detect aluminum ions in living cells were also investigated and results showed that fluorescence sensor SK-1 could be a promising probe for determining and/or monitoring aluminum ions in both biological and/or chemical samples.
Novel Aza-resveratrol analogs: Synthesis, characterization and anticancer activity against breast cancer cell lines
expression in breastcancercelllines after treatment with newly synthesized resveratrol analogs indicated inhibition of growth of these celllines through autophagy. The study highlighted the advantage of introducing the imino-linkage in resveratrol motif in enhancing the anticancer potential of resveratrol suggesting that these analogs can serve as better therapeutic agents againstbreastcancer and can
