Summary: Four new Cu(I) complexes were synthesized and characterized, and their anti-trypanosome and anticancer activities were evaluated. The complexes showed higher cytotoxicity against T. cruzi and chemoresistant prostate PC3 cells compared to benchmark drugs nifurtimox and cisplatin. They also exhibited high cellular internalization and activation of apoptosis in ovarian OVCAR3 cells. However, the production of reactive oxygen species was not significant.

Summary: This study investigates the behavior of five (thio)semicarbazones with different donor sets in aqueous solution, the stability of their copper(II) complexes, and their interaction with DNA and topoisomerase II alpha. The results show that the cytotoxicity of the ligands is not correlated with their solubility, lipophilicity, or permeability, while the most lipophilic and stable copper complexes exhibit the highest cytotoxicity.

Summary: Globally, there has been a shift towards affordable, clean, and renewable energy sources due to environmental concerns and energy security uncertainties related to fossil fuels. Energy storage systems are highly favored as they can address the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources. Researchers have focused on developing energy storage devices using low-cost carbon electrode materials. However, most of these materials are derived from non-renewable and non-sustainable sources, and their fabrication approaches are often contaminative and hazardous. To overcome these challenges, sustainable approaches like green technology have been employed to produce activated carbon from renewable biomass materials. This review article discusses recent approaches and techniques for obtaining porous carbon from biomass, and explores their applications in energy storage.
