Anticancer Activity, DFT, Molecular Docking, ADMET, and Molecular Dynamics Simulations Investigations of Schiff Base Derived From 2,3-Diaminophenazine and Its Metal Complexes Saleh M. Bufarwa, Mustapha Belaidi, Leila M. Abbass, Dalal K. Thbayh Applied Organometallic Chemistry, 2025 In our previous study, Schiff base (1) complexes derived from 2,3‐diaminophenazine and metal ions Co(II) (2), Ni(II) (3), Cu(II) (4), and Cd(II) (5) were synthesized and characterized, demonstrating a significant biological activity. This study investigates their anticancer potential, specifically against prostate cancer. The complexes exhibited notable reductions in cancer cell viability, with IC50 values of 0.531 μM Ni(II), 0.630 μM Cu(II), and 0.655 μM Co(II), comparable with the standard drug enzalutamide. The Co(II) complex showed the highest efficacy, while Cd(II) displayed the lowest (IC50 = 0.648 μM). The presence of a phenazine ring in these complexes enhances DNA binding, contributing to their anticancer effects. HOMO‐LUMO calculations revealed energy gaps ranging from 2.525 to 3.294 eV, indicating varying reactivity and potential for biological interactions. Molecular docking studies revealed that compound (1) exhibited the highest binding affinity (−9.19 kcal/mol) for the prostate cancer‐related receptor, with significant hydrogen bond interactions. Molecular dynamics simulations over 100 ns demonstrated stable binding, with RMSD values below 1.5 Å, and RMSF analysis provided insights into protein flexibility. ADMET studies revealed favorable drug‐like properties, including good gastrointestinal absorption (> 30%), high blood–brain barrier permeability (LogBBB = 0.64), and high human intestinal absorption (68.47%–88.79%). No inhibition of CYP2D6 was observed, suggesting low risk for drug–drug interactions. These Schiff base‐metal complexes show promising anticancer activity and favorable ADMET profiles, indicating their potential as therapeutic agents for prostate cancer treatment.
α-Tocopherol and Trolox as Effective Natural Additives for Polyurethane Foams: A DFT and Experimental Study Dalal K. Thbayh, Dóra Mentes, Zsanett R. Boros, Marcin Palusiak, László Farkas, et al. Molecules, 2024 In this work, α-tocopherol and trolox were studied as compounds that have high biological activity. α-Tocopherol is considered a food additive because the refining process of vegetable oils causes the depletion of this vitamin, and thus, its inclusion is required to keep them from oxidizing. Computational tools have determined the antioxidant activity of these additives. The geometries of the studied molecules were optimized using two density functional methods, including M05-2X and M06-2X, in combination with the 6-311++G(2d,2p) basis set. The results indicated that when comparing the antioxidant activity of α-tocopherol and trolox, they were very similar to each other, but α-tocopherol had an antioxidant activity slightly higher, around 1.2 kJ/mol, than trolox. Thus, these additives can be used as polymer additives to protect materials from free-radical-induced stress. To test their applicability in polymeric formulations, flexible polyurethane foams were prepared with varying α-tocopherol ratios and NCO indices (1.0 and 1.1). Increasing the α-tocopherol content reduced the compressive force and altered the mechanical properties, likely due to its presence in the foam structure. This additive not only fine-tuned the mechanical properties but also provided antioxidant effects, enabling multiple enhancements in polymeric products with a single additive.
INVESTIGATION ON THE INFLUENCE OF WASTE-BASED FILLERS ON THE MECHANICAL AND THERMAL CHARACTERISTICS OF RIGID POLYURETHANE FOAMS Muhsen Chelab Muhsen, Ahmed J. Mohammed, Ziyad T. AL-Malki, Dalal K. Thbayh Eureka Physics and Engineering, 2024 An investigation was conducted to analyze the impact of incorporating coal powder particles at different weight ratios (5, 10, 15, 25, and 35) on the mechanical properties and thermal conductivity coefficient of the polyurethane polymer. The thermal conductivity coefficient of the samples was calculated using Holmarc's Lee's Disc apparatus device. The mechanical properties like compressive, tensile, and bending strengths were measured using a universal machine. The results indicated that increasing the coal powder ratio leads to an improvement in the thermal insulation ability due to a decrease in the value of thermal conductivity. Also, the addition of these percentages led to a rise in the values of the mechanical qualities represented by the compressive strength, especially at the ratio of 25 wt. %, with a value equal to 2.79 MPa (MPa). The flexural resistance and tensile strength increase at a ratio of 35 wt. %, with values equal to 20.4 MPa and 2.86 MPa respectively. The results indicate that the addition of coal powder enhances the ability of thermal conductivity at the ratios (5 %, 10) wt. %, with values equal to 0.119 W/m ºC and 0.114 W/m ºC, respectively, by increasing the thermal conductivities of the samples. The aim of this study is, investigate the effect of filler used coal powder waste on the mechanical and thermal properties of PU. The filler materials show the advantages of recycling waste. Filler influences the morphology and strengthens the brittleness. Additionally, the technology of polyurethane materials conforms to the use of coal powder. The overall amount of energy used to produce PU composites is decreased when waste of filler is used to partially replace petrochemical components
Antituberculosis, antimicrobial, antioxidant, cytotoxicity and anti-inflammatory activity of Schiff base derived from 2,3-diaminophenazine moiety and its metal(II) complexes: Structural elucidation, computational aspects, and biological evaluation Saleh M. Bufarwa, Reem M. El-Sefait, Dalal K. Thbayh, Mustapha Belaidi, Rehab K. Al-Shemary, et al. Reviews in Inorganic Chemistry, 2024 Enticed by the present scenario of infectious diseases, four new Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Cd(II) complexes of Schiff base ligand were synthesized from 6,6′-((1E-1′E)(phenazine-2,3-dielbis(azanylidene)-bis-(methanylidene)-bis-(3-(diethylamino)phenol)) (H 2 L) to ascertain as effective drug for antituberculosis, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, cytotoxic and antimicrobial activities. The organic ligand and its metal(II) complexes were characterized by numerous physical and spectroscopic methods, which showed that the complexes have a general formula, [ML], (where M = Co(II) (C1), Ni(II) (C2), Cu(II) (C3) and Cd(II) (C4)), for metal complexes have been proposed and have a square planar geometry, are amorphous in nature, and are thermally stable. Data highlight obtained from activity testing against tuberculosis, inflammation, and oxidants that all compounds are significantly active against these symptoms. Also, was to evaluate the effectiveness of various compounds against bacterial and fungal strains. Specifically, four bacterial strains (Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and two fungal strains (Aspergillus flavus and Candida albicans) were tested and compared to the results of some standard drugs. The results revealed that compound C4 was more effective against bacterial strains than the comparison standard drugs. In addition, C3 was found to be the most effective of the comparison antibiotics against fungi, while the other compounds showed moderate antifungal activity. Moreover, to support the vitro results, certain computational studies as molecular docking studies, DFT, MESP, and AMEDT were also conducted to confirm the effectiveness of an organic ligand and its complexes against tuberculosis. These studies revealed that C4 is the most effective against tuberculosis and has desirable effects such as absorption, no degradation and no hepatotoxicity, etc.
