RESUMO
A convenient and efficient synthetic protocol for the new selenadiazole. Thiadiazole and diazaphosphole derivatives incorporating a pyridazine moiety originating from 4-(4-aminophenyl)-4-oxobutanoic acid (1) were described. All newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity using the disk diffusion method, and their cytotoxicity was evaluated against brine shrimp lethality bioassay. Using density functional theory (DFT), the frontier molecular orbital (FMO) and molecular electrostatic potential (MEPS) were studied to estimate the chemical reactivity and kinetic stability of each structure. Therefore, global descriptor parameters like electronegativity (χ), chemical hardness (η), and global softness (σ) were calculated. Consequently, the attained results were compared with the experimental data of the biological activity of the studied structures.
RESUMO
Hybrid biocomposite scaffolds (HBS) that serve as a carrier for cell proliferation and differentiation are increasingly used for tissue regeneration. 3D hybrid scaffold based on collagen-grafted-chitosan-glucan fiber (CO-g-CGF-HBS) was prepared by freeze-drying technique. The swelling percentage, hydrolytic stability, and modulus of elasticity of HBS were enhanced after the chemical modification of CO with CGF. Pore size and porosity of HBS were decreased with an increased CGF ratio. HBS exhibits a higher reduction rate against different types of bacteria compared with a control sample. Thus, chemical modification of CO with different ratios of CGF significantly improved the physicochemical, antibacterial properties of HBS.
