    Naphthalimide based smart sensor for CN-/Fe3+ and H2S. Synthesis and application in RAW264.7 cells and zebrafish imaging

    Achieving selective detection of target analytes in aqueous media continues to be an arduous proposition. Herein, we report the conceptualization and synthesis of a novel tailor-fit molecular probe R based on 1,8-naphthalimide which acts as a trifunctional molecular sensor for CN-, Fe3+ and H2S. R shows colorimetric and fluorometric "on-off" relay recognition for CN- (red colour and orange emission) and Fe3+ (no colour and no emission) in 5% H2O + DMSO medium which is experimentally ascertained to be a tandem deprotonation-protonation process and is supported by 1H-NMR titration. Among all RSS (Reactive Sulphur Species), R shows selectivity for H2S through red colouration. Other coexistent anions, cations and RSS cause no discernible perturbation to the detection process. The detection of H2S is attributed to a chemodosimetric reduction of the nitro to amino group as evidenced by a potentiometric titration assay. The experimental observations are well supported by DFT theoretical calculation. The Ka for CN-/Fe3+ are 1.4 × 104 M-1, 6.07 × 104 M-1 respectively and photochemical yield of R + CN- is 0.86. Limit of detections for CN-, Fe3+ and H2S are 17.5 nM, 8.69 μM and 8.1 μM respectively. Receptor R is effective for real time applications, bio-compatible and has been successfully employed for confocal fluorescence imaging of RAW264.7 cell and zebrafish.

    A comprehensive demonstration of novel catalytic synthetic pathway using sulfated zirconia (solid acid catalyst) to generate a library of bioactive compounds precisely, the benzo[d]thiazole-hydrazone derivatives (4a-n). The compounds are characterized using ubiquitous spectroscopic techniques such as, IR, 1H and 13C NMR, HR-Mass. The set of molecules are screened in vitro biological activities namely, antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer which are aptly supported by the molecular docking studies. Among the compounds, 4a and 4e are observed to be the most potent antibacterial agents where as 4a and 4c displayed significant antifungal activity. On the contrary, compounds 4e and 4j showed good antioxidant properties and 4b and 4j exhibited excellent anti-inflammatory activity. The compound 4d found to be a potent anti-cancer agent against tested human cancer cell lines MIAPaca2, HeLa, A549, and HCT116 (IC50 values of 19.09 ± 0.50, 19.93 ± 0.25, 7.76 ± 0.50, and 5.05 ± 0.25 μM respectively). Molecular docking studies were performed using DNA Gyrase, N-myristoyltransferase, COX-2, EGFR, HER2, and VEGFR2 proteins. Notably, compound 4d strongly binds to receptors EGFR and HER2 as inferred by their binding energies compared to standard inhibitors Gefitinib (EFGR), Lapatinib (EGFR), Afatinib (HER2), and Canertinib (HER2). © 2021
