Piperazinium bis (4-hydroxybenzenesulphonate) (P4HBS) was studied using FT-IR, FT-Raman, UV spectra, and quantum chemical calculations. To obtain the geometry of the molecule, computational methods were used with the Gaussian'09w package and B3LYP/cc-pVTZ as the basis set. The stretching wave number of hydrogen bond donor NH2+ and hydrogen bond acceptor SO3− is red shifted due to protonation, according to vibrational analysis. Frontier molecular orbital analysis was used to confirm the molecule's molecular reactivity and kinetic stability. The electronic transition observed in the UV-visible spectrum, which was measured experimentally, was identified using TD-DFT. MEP plot, Fukui function. Natural population analysis confirm that OH groups and SO3 groups are electrophilic attack sites, while hydrogen atoms in the Piperazinium ring are nucleophilic attack sites. The Independent Gradient Model (IGM) and Hirshfeld surface analysis were used to determine the weak van der Waals and strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions, respectively. The antifungal activity against the fungus Candida albicans and Aspergillus flaves was determined by the disk diffusion technique. Through binding energy, molecular docking studies were performed to identify the effective lead compound against the C. albicans fungal pathogen. ADMET properties with improved pharmacokinetic properties were predicted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Despite the advancements in the categorization of clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis (CADM), the classification and diagnosis of its subtypes are still challenging. The aim of our study was to describe the clinicopathological features of CADM and assess the differences between amyopathic dermatomyositis (ADM) and hypomyopathic dermatomyositis (HDM)., Methods: This retrospective study included 43 patients with CADM diagnosed at our institution from 2016 to 2020. Patients were subclassed into ADM (n = 30) and HDM (n = 13) groups to assess their clinicopathological differences., Results: All included patients had characteristic cutaneous manifestations of dermatomyositis; 67.4% had myositis-associated auto-antibodies, including ANA (32.6%), RNP (14.0%), anti-Ro52 (9.3%), anti-p155/140 (7.0%), rheumatoid factor (7.0%), anti-NXP-2 (4.7%), anti-MDA5 (2.3%), and anti-Jo-1 (2.3%) antibodies. One patient had associated interstitial lung disease, and another patient had oral squamous cell carcinoma. The histopathological findings included mucin deposition (69.8%), telangiectasia (65.1%), lymphocytic infiltrate (48.8%), vacuolar interface dermatitis (46.5%), and epidermal atrophy (14.0%). Compared to patients with HDM, ADM patients were significantly less likely to have epidermal atrophy, 3.3% versus 38.5% (p = 0.006), and more likely to have mucin deposition, 80.0% versus 46.2% (p = 0.028)., Conclusion: We described the clinicopathological features of CADM and highlighted the distinctions between ADM and HDM dermatopathologic findings.
