It can be categorized as acute or chronic. Chronic inflammation is the underlying cause of many diseases such as Alzheimer disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, atherosclerosis, and cardiovascular diseases. Recent studies have proven the antiinflammatory properties of 1,4-dihydropyridines (1,4-DHPs) and their derivatives, which have many biological activities including the blocking of calcium channels. In this study, 15 compounds that are condensed derivatives of 1,4-DHPs, with the general structure of hexahydroquinoline-3-carboxylate, were synthesized. These compounds, expected to show inhibitory activity against inflammatory mediators, were obtained by the reaction of 4-(difluoromethoxy)benzaldehyde, substituted/nonsubstituted 1,3-cyclohexanedione derivatives, and appropriate alkyl acetoacetate compounds in the presence of ammonium acetate as a nitrogen source according to the Hantzsch synthesis method. The structures of the synthesized compounds were elucidated by IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and HRMS methods. The cytotoxic properties of the compounds were determined by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) method in the 3T3 cell line. Among the 15 compounds, the three compounds with the lowest levels of cytotoxic effects were selected for further experiments. Inflammation was induced by lipoxygenase and the effects of the selected compounds on the levels of reactive oxygen species, cytokines, and complement C3 and C9 regulatory proteins were investigated. It was found that the three selected compounds decreased the levels of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1). Among these compounds, compound <b>3e</b> provided the most significant decrease in this cytokine. Moreover, <b>3e</b> increased both C3 and C9 levels. Molecular modeling studies also showed that <b>3e</b> had better affinity for TGF-β1. When the binding modes of these compounds in the active site of TGF-β1 were analyzed, it was found that compound <b>3e</b> had hydrophobic interactions with amino acids Leu142, Tyr84, and Ile13; halogen bond interactions with Asp92; and hydrogen bond interactions with Ser89, Gly88, and Gly14 in the active binding site.

Advanced spectroscopic and imaging techniques including scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used to characterize the composition and morphology of the Fe₃O₄@coPPy-PTH nanocomposite. SEM observations showed that the size of the Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles changed from 30 nm to 120 nm in diameter after copolymer (PPy-PTH) coating. The Fe₃O₄@coPPy-PTH nanocomposite has good dispersion properties and stability in strong acid solutions. For effective extraction of the studied analytes, the influence of sample pH, volume of sample solution and eluent, amount of adsorbent, and interference of coexisting metal ions were optimized.

To determine the variables involved in a crime and to expedite the investigation process, the rapid analysis of body fluids in small quantities and within environments containing diverse components is particularly necessary. For this reason, it is of great importance to analyze biological fluids with rapid, noncontaminating, nondestructive, low-cost, and accurate techniques. In recent years, with advancements in laser technology, spectroscopic methods have been introduced as analytical techniques in forensic medicine and chemical studies. This study focuses on surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to demonstrate the detection of blood samples in simulated crime scenes. To minimize the background signal from fluorescent biomolecules in blood, dilution was performed with two different components and Raman analysis was performed for four different concentrations of blood. In general, a decrease in noise in the spectra was observed as the blood was diluted. Crime scenes consisting of pure blood, blood diluted with ethanol and distilled water (1:2, 1:4, and 1:8), a blood-mineral water mixture, a blood-cherry juice mixture, and silver nanoparticle-added mixtures were simulated, and their spectra were examined. Chemometric analyses of the data were performed. Despite high noise and low peak intensities, blood-identifying signals were detected when examining different blood concentrations.

Dry reforming of tar is an alternative solution if the oxygen chemical potential on the catalyst surface is at a sufficient level. For this purpose, an oxygen-donor perovskite, LaCoO₃, was used as a catalyst for the dry reforming of tar. To circumvent the complexity of the tar and its constituents, the benzene molecule was chosen as a model compound. Dry reforming of benzene vapor on the LaCoO₃ catalyst was investigated at temperatures of 600, 700, and 800 °C; at CO₂/C₆H₆ ratios of 3, 6, and 12; and at space velocities of 14,000 and 28,000 h^-1. The conventional Ni(15 wt.%)/Al₂O₃ catalyst was also used as a reference material to determine the relative activity of the LaCoO₃ catalyst. Different characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction, N₂ adsorption-desorption, temperature-programmed reduction, and oxidation were used to determine the physicochemical characteristics of the catalysts. The findings demonstrated that the LaCoO₃ catalyst has higher CO₂ conversion, higher H₂ and CO yields, and better stability than the Ni(15 wt.%)/γ-Al₂O₃ catalyst. The improvement in activity was attributed to the strong capacity of LaCoO₃ for oxygen exchange.
