Summary: Sulfonylureas serve as a useful motif for carrying donor and acceptor sites capable of hydrogen bonding, making them a prominent class of therapeutic agents in the pharmaceutical industry. However, the potential applications of aryl sulfonyl oligomers in drug discovery, supramolecular chemistry, and crystal engineering have not been fully explored. Through synthesis, spectroscopic characterization, and molecular packing analysis, the structural features of aryl sulfonylurea oligomers and their ability to form 2D framework through hydrogen bonding contacts have been investigated. In-silico docking studies against Plasmodium falciparum prolyl-tRNA synthetase were conducted to rationalize the binding affinity of the compounds.

Summary: This study presents a systematic investigation of the optimization of L-histidinium-L-tartrate hemihydrate (HT) crystal using density functional theory (DFT) for the first time. The obtained geometrical parameters and vibrational frequencies show good agreement with experimental values. The presence of strong hydrogen bonding interactions in HT causes intense absorption in the infrared spectrum. Various analyses including electron density topology, NBO, and UV-Vis spectra in different solvents are conducted. The results reveal the exceptional nonlinear optical efficiency of HT.

Summary: In this study, acetophenone and substituted aldehydes were condensed with a NaOH catalyst to produce chalcones. X-ray diffraction analysis was used to enhance the determination of the molecular structures. The Density Functional Theory (DFT) was employed to evaluate the optimized molecular structures. The energy band gaps of compounds (I) and (II) were determined using the Kubelka-Munk function and Tauc's plot. The thermal analysis confirmed the purity of compounds (I) and (II) without decomposition before the melting point. Two-dimensional fingerprint plots and Hirshfeld surface analysis were used to calculate the intermolecular contacts in the compounds.

Summary: Copper complexes of type [Cu(L)(bpy)(NO3)] (1, L = L1; 2, L = L2; L1H = 3-(4-benzyloxyphenyl)-1-(2-hydroxylphenyl)-prop-2-en-1-one, L2H = 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-(4-chlorophenyl) prop-2-en-1-one, bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) were synthesized and characterized. The crystal structures of both complexes reveal distorted square pyramidal geometry for Cu(II). The packing of complex 1 shows a 1D supramolecular architecture through C-H center dot center dot center dot O and pi-pi stacking interactions, while complex 2 forms a 2D net-like structure facilitated by C-H center dot center dot center dot O, pi center dot center dot center dot pi, and C-H center dot center dot center dot Cl interactions. The interaction analysis suggests that pi center dot center dot center dot pi and C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interactions are dominant in complex 1, while complex 2 is stabilized primarily by pi center dot center dot center dot pi interaction.

Summary: Material modification with low surface energy can achieve lower surface free energy on micro-and nano-rough structures, which is crucial for developing superhydrophobic surfaces. In this study, attapulgite (APT) was modified with alkylamine, alkylammonium salt, and stearic acid, and the interaction between low surface materials and attapulgite was explained. The results showed that the hydrophobicity of APT was significantly modified by the modifiers, and the surface free energy of the composites first decreased and then increased with increasing molecular number of low surface energy monomers.

Summary: The main aim of this study was to prepare a drug-drug coamorphous system to improve the physiochemical properties, solubility and stability of Apremilast and Indomethacin. Various solid-state characterization techniques were used to characterize the prepared system. Molecular level interactions were studied using molecular modeling and ATR-FTIR and 1H NMR. Solubility and dissolution studies showed the benefits of the coamorphous system. The system was found to be stable for a period of five months. Permeation study also demonstrated improved flux for both drugs compared to their crystalline forms. The coamorphous system showed anti-psoriatic and anti-melanogenic activity based on molecular docking results. Overall, the developed CAM-based supersaturated system exhibited improved physicochemical properties and physical stability.
