There have been developed a novel synthetic method that allowed to obtain raw of mixed-ligand heterometallic binuclear complexes of Ge(IV)-M2+ (Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Zn) with 1,3-diamino‑2-hydroxypropane N, N, N’, N’-tetraacetic acid (H5hpdta). Compounds have been characterized by the set of methods: elemental analysis, thermogravimetry, IR‑spectroscopy, spectrum of diffuse reflection, magnetic suspensibility. According to the elemental analysis, the molar ratio Ge: M: H5hpdta: bipy= 1:1:1:1 in the obtained compounds 1‑5 corresponds to the formula [(H2O)(OH)Ge(m-hpdta)M(bipy)]·nН2О (M=Mn n=3 (1), Fe n=2 (2), Co n=4 (3), Ni n=4 (4), Zn n=3 (5). Complexes have yellow (1), red (2), orange (3), violet (4) and pink (5) colors and are stable on air. Compounds 1‑5 exist in the form of crystal hydrates, that contain certain amount of water molecules, that are eliminated into the gas phase while heating in the wide range of temperatures (t=80‑250 °C), which is accompanied with the low-temperature endothermic effect. This indicates the presence of a system of stable hydrogen bonds in their crystal structure. Analysis of the IR‑spectra 1‑5 revealed that form and coordination of ligands is similar. Deprotonation of all carboxylic groups in the ligands (H5hpdta) and their bonding to germanium and d-metal is confirmed with the absence in the IR‑spectra 1‑5 absorption bands characteristic for the free СООН H5hpdta (1716 сm‑1) and nas(СОО-) і ns(СОО-) bands. Disappearance of the ν(С-OН)-1210 сm‑1 and appearance of the ν(С-O)alk., νas(Ge-O-M), νs(Ge-O- M) absorption band indicates that OH‑group of H5hpdta is deprotonated and performs bridging function. 2,2`-bipyridine bidentatly coordinates to the d-metal, binds to the O, N‑atoms of hpdta5- ligand and reaches coordination number 6. The last ligand plays the bringing role between Ge-dmetal, shows itself as ditopic, octadentate in total. According to the magnetic moments of 3, 4 and their diffuse reflection spectra, polyhedrons of Co (II), Ni (II) are octahedrons, which are realized due to the bidentate coordination of bipyridine and four bonds with nitrogen and oxygen of hpdta5-. Structure of heterometallic binuclear complexes 1‑5 is similar. Ligand hpdta5- shows itself as octadentate ditopic, all carboxylate groups monodentatly coordinate to metals, oxygen atom of the deprotonated OH‑group performs the bridging function.

In the present study, through employing the mixed ligands of tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)silane (H4TCS) and 1,4-bis(2-methylimidazol-1-yl)benzene (BMIB), we have triumphantly created two coordination polymers (CPs) [Co2(TCS)(BMIB)2](DMF)3(H2O)2 (1) and [Co2(H2TCS)2(BMIB)2] (2) with the reaction between the H4TCS ligand and BMIB ligand and Co(NO3)2·6H2O in distinct systems of solvent.

The structure of 2 has specific noncovalent I⋯I interactions.

Sulfamethoxazole and metronidazole are antibiotics use for the treatment of various bacterial infections. Their use as ligand is very prominent in formation of metal complexes. The transition metal complexes are synthesized by reaction of Sulfamethoxazole and metronidazole with metals such Mn(II), Cu(II), Fe(II) and Ni(II). The synthesized metal complexes are tested as antibacterial and antifungal. The antimicrobial activity of the complexes displays good potency against some microorganism such as Xanthomonas axonopodis, Streptococcus faecalia, Salmonella entrica, Claribacter michiganense, Xanthomonas phaseolin for bacteria and S.roofisii, M.phonoides, C.lindimuthianum for the fungi, it is revealed that all copper complexes show stronger antibacterial activity than the free drugs. The spectroscopic properties of the complexes were investigated using UV/visible and FT-IR which show metal-charge from 3d to 3s transition in which the transition state shows that they are octahedral geometry and their coordination site respectively. Their percentage yield was moderately high and producible. The complexes synthesized have higher inhibitory activities than the free ligand. The drug resistance in microbes is resulting in the incompetence of available drugs to care for the infections. The thermal analysis shows that the complexes are stable.

Also, order reaction of Mo (III) complex was from first order too, the value of constant of reaction was (1.88 min-1) and half time of reaction was (26.6) min. TGA analysis of MoIII was done.

The effectiveness of the use of mixed ligand complexes of Zinc, Manganese and Cobalt in the diets of high-yielding cows in the final period of lactation, and their effect on productivity, nutrients digestibility and nitrogen metabolism in the animals’ body was studied in a scientific economic experiment conducted at the Terezyne Ltd. of Bila Tserkva district, Kyiv region. Five groups of highly productive cows of Holstein, Ukrainian red-spotted and Ukrainian black-spotted dairy breeds were selected on the principle of analogues. The difference in feeding cows of the groups was in the following: - the diet of the control 1st group was balanced to the norm only with trace elements of Selenium, Copper and Iodine. - cows of the 2nd and 3d experimental group were fed with the norm of all trace elements (for the 2nd experimental groupthe norm was provided due to introducing sulfates of Zinc, Manganese, Cobalt, Copper, Selenium Suplex and Potassium iodide; for the 3d experimental group , sulfates of Zinc, Manganese and Cobalt were substituted with their mixed ligand complexes). - for cows of 4th experimental group, the concentration of Zinc, Manganese and Cobalt in 1 kg of dry matter feed was reduced by 11% compared to the group 3. - for the 5thgroup it was 22% lower than in the group 3. The results of the studies show that the use different doses of mixed ligand complexes of Zinc, Manganese, Cobalt in cows feeding with the use of Selenium Suplex, Copper sulfate and Potassium iodide during the final 100 days of lactation did not affect milk productivity. Each cow of the control group in the final period of lactation yielded 2220 kg of natural milk, whereas the cows of the experimental groups 2-5 yielded 40-120 kg more. The difference in the average daily milk yield of 4% fat was 0.5–1.91 kg, and this difference was significant (p

By the reaction of a rigid π-conjugated H4L linker (5,5′-(1,3,6,8-tetraoxobenzo[lmn][3],[8]phenanthroline-2-7-diyl)bis-1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid), Cu(NO3)2, and N-donor auxiliary linkers, two new Cu-based coordination polymers (CPs), namely {[Cu(L)0.5(1,4-bib)(H2O)2]·0.5H2O}n (1) and {[Cu(H2L)(4,4′-bibp)(H2O)2]}n (2) {1,4-bib = 1,4-bis(1-imidazolyl)benzene, 4,4′-bibp = 4,4′-bis(imidazolyl)biphenyl} are synthesized under solvothermal conditions and characterized. Furthermore, the protective effect of compounds 1 and 2 on the sepsis mice model is evaluated and the related mechanism is explored. Firstly, the CFU counting assay is performed to detect the bactericidal effect of compounds 1 and 2 in vivo. Then, the ELISA assay is conducted to measure the release of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) into the plasma after treatment with the compounds.

The results of establishing the optimal feeding doses of Zinc, Manganese, and Cobalt in the form of their mixed-ligand complexes for high-yielding cows of Holstein, Ukrainian Red-Spotted and Ukrainian Black-Spotted dairy breeds during the late dry period were presented, their influence on the future productivity and reproductive qualities of cows were also determined. It was found that lower doses of mixed-ligand complexes of Zinc, Manganese, and Cobalt in the feed mixture stimulated its consumption better. The cows of the 4th experimental group consumed more of the feed mixture, where the concentration of Zinc and Manganese was 35 mg, and Cobalt – 0.49 mg per 1 kg of DM. At various doses of mixed-ligand complexes of Zinc, Manganese, and Cobalt, the increase in live weight in cows of the control group was 24.3 kg, and in the experimental groups, it ranged from 23.7 kg to 26.9 kg, which is 8.6% and 10.7% (P < 0,05) more in the 3rd and 4th groups compared with the control. A decrease in the concentration of mixed-ligand complexes of Zinc, Manganese, and Cobalt in the diets of dry cows in the experimental groups by 10, 20, 30 and 40% had a positive effect on their further milk productivity. During the first 100 days of lactation, they milked 60-180 kg of milk more compared to the control with an increase in fat content by 0.01–0.05%. Also, in the milk of experimental group’s cows, compared with the control, the protein content increased (3.22–3.23% versus 3.14%), and the feed costs per 1 kg of milk in them were lower by 3.5–9.4%. Smaller doses of zinc, manganese, and cobalt contributed better to lengthening the period of prolonged action of their mixed-ligand complexes on the body of lactating cows. The calves’ live weight at the birth in the 4th experimental group exceeded the indicator of their peers from the control group by 2.3 kg or 8.81%, while the calves obtained from cows of the 2nd experimental group prevailed the control by 1.6 kg, or 6, 13 %, from the 3rd experimental group – by 1.8 kg, or 6.90%, and the 4th experimental group – by 1.7 kg, or 6.51%. The duration of the service period in all experimental groups of cows was within the recommended norms and was 87.8 days in the control group, and the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th experimental groups, respectively 84.7 days, 82.2; 80.6 and 83.5 days, respectively, and there was less in control by 3.1–7.1 days or 3.3–8.2%. The insemination index in the cows’ control group was 1.5, and in the experimental one – 1.2–1.4, which is 6.7–20.0% less.

The article deals with the results of research to study the digestibility of nutrients in the ration and metabolism of Nitrogen, Zinc and Manganese in high-yielding Holstein cows of German selection in the first period of lactation for feeding mixed ligand complexes of Zinc, Manganese and Cobalt. The research was performed in the conditions of Terezyne Ltd., Bila Tserkva district, Kyiv region. There was an increase in the coefficients of digestibility of dry matter in cows of the 2nd-5th experimental groups compared with animals of the 1st control group, respectively by 1.8–3.5 % (P < 0.05); organic matter by 0.3–2.5 %; crude protein by 0.5–4.2 % (P < 0.05 – P < 0.01); crude fat by 1.1–1.8 %; crude fiber by 1.3–3.3 % and nitrogen-free extractives by 2.1–4.2 %. Cows of the experimental groups consumed more Nitrogen than the cows of the control group: 20.18 g or 2.4 % – the 2nd group, 55.06 g or 6.6 % – the 3rd, 42.52 g or 5, 1 % – 4th and 28.98 g or 3.5 % – 5th experimental group due to better eating of the feed mixture. General consumption level of Nitrogen in relation to excreted with milk and deposited in the body of cows of the control group was 32.02 %, and in animals of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th experimental groups – 33.59 %; 37.31; 36.99 and 34.97 %. In relation to the total digested amount, the proportion of Nitrogen deposited in the body and excreted with milk in animals of the control group was 42.38 %, and in the experimental – 44.25–47.34 %. Doses of Zinc, which provided its existing rate of 54–85 % due to the mixed ligand complex, positively influenced on the the metabolism of trace elements in the organism of experimental cows. Assimilation of Zinc in the organism was determined by the amount of its secretions with milk and deposits in the body and in absolute terms it was the lowest in cows of the 4th and 5th experimental groups – 562.7 mg and 671.6 mg against 740.8 mg in the 1st control group and the largest – 784.7 mg and 801.3 mg in animals of the 2nd and 3rd experimental groups. The use of a mixed ligand complex of manganese ensured its positive balance in the organism of cows and the absorption of the trace element in the organism of experimental cows ranged from 22.5 % in the 2nd experimental group to 33.2 % in the 3rd experimental group. The best indicators for the metabolism of Nitrogen, Zinc and Manganese were got in the third experimental group whose cows were fed a feed mixture, that in 1 kg of DM contained, mg: Zinc – 54.7; Manganese – 54.7; Cobalt – 0.7; Selenium – 0.3; Copper – 12 and Iodine – 1.1.

Both compounds 1 and 2 showed no cytotoxicity on the normal human cells.

Metformin is one of the most effective drugs for the treatment of type II diabetes. Two new mixed ligand complexes of vanadyl(ii) and chromium(iii) ions with the general formula [VOL1L2]SO4 and [CrL1L2(Cl)2]Cl, respectively, where L1 is the metformin and L2 is the glycine amino acid, have been synthesized in MeOH solvent with 1:1:1 stoichiometry and characterized by several spectroscopic techniques. The spectroscopic data suggested that the [VOL1L2]SO4 complex possesses a square pyramidal geometry, where the [CrL1L2(Cl)2]Cl complex possesses an octahedral geometry. The L1 ligand coordinated to the VO(ii) and Cr(iii) ions via the N atoms of the imino (‒C═NH) groups, where the L2 ligand coordinated via the O atom of the carboxylate group (COO) and the N atom of the amino group (NH2). The interaction of ligands L1 and L2 with the metal ions leads to complexes that have organized nanoscale structures with a main diameter of ∼14 nm for the [CrL1L2(Cl)2]Cl complex and ∼40 nm for the [VOL1L2]SO4 complex.

The spectral results suggested the tridentate nature of the Schiff base with NNO donor type. The prepared complexes exhibited distorted octahedral geometry. Moreover, molecular docking studies have been carried out against the SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor-binding domain (PDB ID: 6M0J) and SARS-CoV spike receptor-binding domain (PDB ID: 2AJF).

By utilizing the mixed-ligand method, two novel metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) based on Zn(II) ions as nodes with the chemical formulae of {[Zn2.5(abta)(trz)2(H2O)]·3H2O}n (1, Htrz = 1H-1,2,4-triazole) and [Zn3(abta)2(bibb)2]n (2, bibb = 1,4-bis(benzimidazol-1-yl)-2-butene) were produced via Zn(NO3)2·6H2O reacting with the 1-aminobenzene-3,4,5-tricarboxylic acid (H3abta) in the existence of distinct nitrogen-donor co-ligands. The different N-donor ligands result in their distinct framework structures, and the compound 1 with higher solvent accessible void and large window size shows highly heterogeneous catalytic activities for Knoevenagel condensation. The treatment of Staphylococcus aureus biofilms formation during spine surgery incision infection and the related mechanism was explored at the same time. First of all, the S. aureus bacterial numbers in the infectious site was measured under compound 1 or 2 treatment. In addition to this, the relative expression levels of the genes related with S. aureus biofilms was determined with real time RT-PCR.

The coordination compounds of propanedioic acid with cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) ions were synthesized using metal:ligand 1:2. In addition to this, mixed ligand complexes using the same metal ions with propanedioic acid as the primary ligand and N,N'-dihydroxy-2,3-butanediimine as the secondary ligand were also synthesized using M:L1:L2 (1:1:1) where L1 = propanedioic acid, L2 = N,N'-dihydroxy-2,3-butanediimine and M = Cu(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II). The synthesized compounds were characterized using FTIR, UV-vis, magnetic susceptibility measurement and percentage metal composition. The ligand and its metal complexes were tested for their cytotoxic and antibacterial activities. Results indicated that a dimeric square planar geometry was assumed by the cobalt(II) and nickel(II) propanedioic acid complexes. Octahedral geometry was proposed for both cobalt(II) and copper(II) mixed ligand complexes. A dinuclear square pyramidal geometry was suggested for the copper(II) propanedioic acid complex and square planar/octahedral geometry for the nickel(II) mixed ligand complex. The copper(II) propanedioic acid complex elicited the best cytotoxic activity. On the other hand, the nickel(II) propanedioic acid complex showed the remarkable antimicrobial activity. The compounds exhibited good antimicrobial activity in most of the cases with the exception of the cobalt(II) propanedioic acid complex. It was concluded that coordination of the ligands to the metal ions lowered the toxicity of the ligands. It was further concluded that the antimicrobial activity of the compounds was partly dependent on the synergism/additive effect of the intrinsic therapeutic properties of the metal ion and the ligands within the coordination sphere of the complexes synthesized. And this is also in part a function of the geometry assumed by the complexes.

Among several strategies related to cancer therapy targeting the modulation of αβ-tubulin has shown encouraging findings, more specifically when this is achieved by inhibitors located at the colchicine binding site. In this work, we aim to fish new αβ-tubulin modulators through a diverse and rational VS study, and thus, exhibiting the development of two VS pipelines. This allowed us to identify two compounds 5 and 9 that showed IC50 values of 19.69 and 21.97 μM, respectively, towards possible modulation of αβ-tubulin, such as assessed by in vitro assays in C6 glioma and HEPG2 cell lines. We also evaluated possible mechanisms of action of obtained hits towards the colchicine binding site of αβ-tubulin by using docking approaches. In addition, assessment of the stability of the active (5 and 9) and inactive compounds (3 and 13) within the colchicine binding site was carried out by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, highlighting the solvent effect and revealing the compound 5 as the most stable in the complex. At last, deep analysis of these results provided some valuable insights on the importance of using mixed ligand- and structure-based strategies in VS campaigns, in order to achieve higher chemical diversity and biological effect as well.

Four mixed-ligand metal(II) complexes with the molecular formulae [M(ofl)(bipy)]NO3�H2O and [M(ofl)(phen)]NO3�H2O were synthesized by the reaction of Co(II) and Ni(II) with ofloxacin (Hofl) in the presence of 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) / 2,2`-bipyridine (bipy) (1:1:1 molar ratio). The data obtained from elemental analysis, molar conductance, spectral infrared, reflectance spectra and magnetic studies gave information about the coordination of the ligands and the geometry of the metallic ion. The results suggest that Hofl is deprotonated and bidentately bound to the metal ion through the pyridone oxygen and the carboxylato oxygen while phen and bipy act as neutral bidentate ligands coordinated through the nitrogen atoms. Tetrahedral geometry is proposed for all complexes. Thermal analysis data led to useful information concerning the composition, dehydration and thermal behaviour of the complexes. Ofloxacin and the metal complexes were tested for antibacterial activity and also for antioxidant activity. The variations of physicochemical parameters were monitored, which explain the antibacterial behaviour of these compounds. The interactions between metal complexes and bacterial receptors have lower energy values compared to the ofloxacin ligand. The molecular docking studies allow the identification of the biological target and the predictions of the bonds between the studied compounds and the receptors of E. coli (3t88), S. aureus (3q8u) and P. aeruginosa (4lkd).
