FA-targeted and 10-hydroxycamptothecin loaded chitosan nanoparticles (FA-HCPT-NPs) were prepared with a combination of emulsion-solvent evaporation and chemical crosslink method. The analysis revealed that the FA-HCPT-NPs were spherical with diameter of 255.5  16.2 nm, zeta potential of + 70 mV, HCPT encapsulation efficiency of 81.2% and loading rate of 2.5%. X-ray powder diffraction illustrated that HCPT was buried as an amorphous form in the NPs. The release profiles of HCPT exhibited a biphasic pattern characterized by an initial burst release followed by a slower and sustained release. The results indicated that the novel FA-HCPT-NPs could be a potential drug delivery system for tumor cell-selective targeting therapy.

Nanotechnology is increasingly being used in areas of pesticide production and pest management. This study reports the isolation and virulence of a new Metarhizium anisopliae isolate SM036, along with the synthesis and characterization of M. anisopliae–chitosan nanoparticles followed by studies on the efficacy of nanoparticles against Plutella xylostella. The newly identified strain proved pathogenic to P. xylostella under laboratory conditions. The characterization of M. anisopliae–chitosan nanoparticles through different analytical techniques showed the successful synthesis of nanoparticles. SEM and HRTEM images confirmed the synthesis of spherical-shaped nanoparticles; X-ray diffractogram showed strong peaks between 2θ values of 16–30°; and atomic force microscopy (AFM) analysis revealed a particle size of 75.83 nm for M. anisopliae–chitosan nanoparticles, respectively. The bioassay studies demonstrated that different concentrations of M. anisopliae–chitosan nanoparticles were highly effective against second instar P. xylostella under laboratory and semi-field conditions. These findings suggest that M. anisopliae–chitosan nanoparticles can potentially be used in biorational P. xylostella management programs.

The novel Y2O3 nanoflowers were synthesized through a facile hydrothermal method without using any catalyst or template. The phase composition and the microstructure of as-prepared products were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) as well as Fourier transform infrared spectrum. The formation mechanism for the Y2O3 flowers has been proposed.

The synthesis and characterization of the novel selenium coronands, 1,3,7,9-tetraselenacyclododecane 1a, 1,3,7,9,13,15-hexaselenacyclooctadecane 2a, the corresponding β-gem-dimethyl derivatives 1b, 2b, and 1,5,9,13-tetraselenacyclohexadecane 3, and 1,5,9,13,17,21-hexaselenacyclotetracosane 4 are described. X-ray crystallographic analysis of 1a reveals three independent molecules that exist in two distinct conformations, one molecule having approximate two-fold symmetry together with two molecules (of similar conformation) each having crystallographic [Formula: see text] symmetry. The conformations are denoted as [3333] or [66]. Whereas one resembles that of cyclododecane and tetrathia-12-crown-4 with respect to torsion angles, the other resembles that of tetraoxa-12-crown-4. The solid state CP-MAS 77Se and 13C nmr spectra are interpreted in light of the crystallographic information. Crystal structure: formula Se4C8H16; fw = 428.05; monoclinic, P21/c; Z = 8; a = 15.823(2) Å, b = 5.534(1) Å, c = 27.962(5) Å, β = 92.26(1)°; V = 2446.6 Å3; T = 200 K; R = 0.027 for 2162 observed data (I ≥ 2.5σ(I)).

It is known that various polyoxovanadates interact specifically with enzymes, which is the main way of their biochemical activity. Therefore we have synthesized ammonium decavanadate, (NH4)6V10O28·6H2O. The novel compound was characterized by elemental and thermal analysis, X-ray powder and single crystal diffraction and IR and Raman spectroscopy. Its conductive properties have been studied, too. The spectroscopic analysis has shown the presence of hydrogen bonds of different strengths. In order to improve the biochemical activity of this compound and having in mind the presence of strong hydrogen bonds, we essayed the synthesis of complex of polyoxovanadate with alanine. The obtained product was characterized by the mentioned methods.

This work is focused on the synthesis and structure characterization of the novel Cu(I) π-complex [Cu2(Thiaz1)2(ClO4)2] (1) with 2-allylamino-5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole (Thiaz1) ligand. The crystals of the compound were obtained by means of the alternating-current electrochemical technique and studied using single crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure of the complex 1 is constructed from the centrosymmetric dimers, in which two copper(I) ions are coordinated by two Thiaz1 molecules through thiadiazole N atoms and allylic C=C bond. Energy framework computational analysis for structure 1 has been performed.

Preparation andin vitrocharacterization of gellan based floating beads of acetohydroxamic acid for eradication ofH. pyloriGellan based floating beads of acetohydroxamic acid (AHA) were prepared by the ionotropic gellation method to achieve controlled and sustained drug release for treatment ofHelicobacter pyloriinfection. The prepared beads were evaluated for diameter, surface morphology and encapsulation efficiency. Formulation parameters like concentrations of gellan, chitosan, calcium carbonate and the drug influenced thein vitrodrug release characteristics of beads. Drug and polymer interaction studies were carried out using differential scanning calorimetry. Chitosan coating increased encapsulation efficiency of the beads and reduced the initial burst release of the drug from the beads. Kinetic treatment of the drug release data revealed a matrix diffusion mechanism. Prepared floating beads showed good antimicrobial activity (in vitro H. pyloriculture) as potent urease inhibitors. In conclusion, an oral dosage form of floating gellan beads containing AHA may form a useful stomach site specific drug delivery system for the treatment ofH. pyloriinfection.
