Remarkably, the two-step process from chalcones demonstrated one of the shortest reported pathways, highlighting the efficiency of our novel nanocatalyst. To elucidate the stability and reactivity of the synthesized products, we employed Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations, including molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) mapping and reactivity indices such as electronegativity, electrophilic index, softness, and hardness, as well as frontier molecular orbitals (HOMO-LUMO). Furthermore, our investigations extended to the recycling capabilities of the nanocatalyst. Through a comprehensive evaluation of at least five reaction cycles, MnFe₂O₄@SiO₂-SiO₃H showcased a remarkable retention of activity (97–92 %), reaffirming its reusability and long-term potential. Our research presents MnFe₂O₄@SiO₂-SiO₃H as a highly effective and recoverable nanomagnetic catalyst for organic reactions, with demonstrated applications in synthesizing functionalized oxazolidine-2-ones.

In this study, one-pot synthetic strategy was applied for the synthesis of bis-hydrazono[1,3,4]thiadiazole series from 2,2′-(1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-diylidene)bis(hydrazine-1-carbodithioic acid) and hydrazonoyl chlorides.

For a fair comparison, the superpositions of 4a-h, and Donepezil, Galantamine and Rivastigmine docked together into the functional domain (binding pocket) of 1EVE to reveal interesting different molecular laydowns of the compounds. On the other side, the display of the molecules before and after docking was discussed. The binding affinity slightly differs between Donepezil, Galantamine, Rivastigmine, and the ligands 4a-h. The range of the recorded binding affinity for 4a-h is from (−9.4 to −8.4 kcal/mol⁻¹)^, whereas the binding affinity for Donepezil, Galantamine and Rivastigmine is (−11.1, −9.8 and −8.0 kcal/mol⁻¹ respectively), which is higher than all the prepared ligands.</p><p>Furthermore, the binding amino acids also varied among the studied compounds in this study.

Fish bones, often discarded as waste in the seafood industry, are rich in calcium (Ca) and phosphorous (P), making them ideal precursors for Calcium phosphate (CaP) materials. In this study, different kinds of CaP materials were successfully extracted from diverse fish bone types like Carp fish (CF), Atlantic bonito (AB) and Gilt-head bream (GB) using a heat treatment method. The extracted white powders were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) techniques and the outcomes compared the most popular phase of CaP material like β -tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) and Hydroxyapatite (HA) which they are synthesized using microwave refluxing equipment. The XRD pattern of the CF sample closely corresponded with the HA phase, while the AB and GB samples aligned with the biphasic calcium phosphate (HA/β-TCP) phase. The FTIR spectra analysis identified the presence of phosphate, hydroxyl, and carbonate groups. The XPS spectra determined the Ca/P ratio to range between 1.32 and 1.57. In vitro degradation studies were performed in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) at 37 °C over 1, 3, 7, and 14 days. The ion release profiles of Ca²⁺ and P⁵⁺ were monitored, revealing the most significant degradation rate occurred between 7 and 14 days. The highest leaching levels of Ca ions were observed in the AB fish bones, with concentrations reaching approximately 87.35 mg/L after 14 days of immersion.
