Summary: This study evaluated the acute and subacute toxicity of fluorescent gold nanoclusters conjugated with alpha-lipoic acid (FANC) in mice. The results showed that FANC had no significant toxicity in the tested dose range, with no adverse effects on physiological parameters, organ histopathology, or liver and renal function. The only observed change was a slight effect on body weight, but it was below the threshold of concern and not dose-dependent.

Summary: This study investigated the acute and subacute oral toxicity of Gancao Xiexin decoction (GCXXD) in rats. The acute toxicity study revealed that GCXXD is safe in rats at an oral dose of 30 g/kg/day (3 x 10 g/kg). However, in the subacute toxicity study, high doses of GCXXD may cause mild anemia in female rats at 10 g/kg.

Summary: Novel complexes (1-6) of Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), and Pd(II) with the ligand (HL) were synthesized and characterized. The ligand forms neutral thione complexes (2, 4, 5, and 6) with copper(II) chloride, zinc(II) chloride, cadmium(II) chloride, and potassium tetrachloropalladate(II), respectively. Monobasic tridentate complexes (1 and 3) were formed with nickel(II) chloride and copper(II) acetate. Computational studies showed high hyperpolarizability values for the compounds, suggesting their potential use in non-linear optical materials. The metal complexes exhibited stronger antibacterial and antifungal activity compared to the free ligand, with complex 5 showing respectable activity against Gram-positive bacteria and complexes 4 and 5 showing excellent activity against Gram-negative bacteria. Molecular docking revealed higher inhibition efficiency for complexes 1 and 5 compared to the free ligand.

Summary: This study evaluated the acute and subacute hepatotoxicity of genipin in mice. The results showed that genipin-induced liver injury was time and dose dependent, but reversible. The mechanism of liver injury may be related to the disruption of the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase system and cytochrome P450 enzyme activity.

Summary: This work presents studies on the photochemical transformations of TU and Cys with the addition of Cu(II) or Fe(III) ions. The results show that the oxidation rate of the thiols increases significantly when Cu(II) or Fe(III) ions are added to the system. It has also been found that TU and Cys can form stable complex compounds with the studied metal ions. The oxidation rates of the thiols are found to depend on the radiation intensity and emission spectrum of the irradiation sources.

Summary: Isomorphous series are generated by replacing atoms or molecules to form materials with similar compositions. They allow modulation of structure and properties, and generate equivalent compositions with novel material properties. The study of stereo-electronic aspects of different equivalent compositions can improve the utility of the original composition.

Summary: The structure and electrochemical properties of zinc(II) complexes with a face-capping ligand have been investigated, revealing the effect of the ligand on bound semiquinonate (SQ) radicals. The substitution pattern of the SQ ring plays a crucial role in determining the fate of the bound SQ radicals. Additionally, the protective pocket formed by the ligand's phenyl substituents is unable to prevent decomposition of SQ radicals with minimal steric bulk, suggesting that substitution of the SQ ring is the main contributor to their stabilization.

Summary: In this article, the synthesis and characterization of copper, nickel, and palladium complexes bound by bidentate ligands derived from ortho-phenylenediamine are described. The complexes contain tunable H-bond donors and their crystal structures reveal intramolecular H-bonding interactions between the ligand scaffolds. Variations in the coordination sphere led to the isolation of the complexes in square-planar or twisted pseudo-tetrahedral geometries. Structural analysis showed that intramolecular H-bonding interactions can be altered by disrupting the bonds between countercations, solvent of crystallization, and ligand scaffold, resulting in changes in the geometry of the complexes. DFT calculations confirmed that Cu complexes prefer twisted geometries while Ni and Pd complexes favor square-planar geometries.

Summary: Three BODIPY-Ru(II) complexes were synthesized by coordinating [Ru(bpy)2Cl]+ complexes to BODIPY ligands. The spectroscopic and electrochemical properties of the complexes were characterized. The complexes exhibited intense absorption peaks due to the pi pi* transitions localized on the BODIPY core, and additional charge transfer transitions associated with the metal center. The complexes showed significant singlet oxygen generation and were able to induce photo-nicking of DNA.
