Recombinant PfLDH and PfHk were independently expressed in <i>E. coli</i> BL21 (DE3) cells and subsequently purified using affinity chromatography.

Parasite inhibition studies confirmed potent antimalarial activity against the <i>P. falciparum</i> NF54 strains, with BA and IMA showing IC<sub>50</sub> values of 1.27 µg/ml and 1.03 µg/ml against the asexual stage of <i>P. falciparum</i>, respectively. FTIR experiments confirmed interactions between the compounds and the secondary structure of the proteins. Direct protein–ligand interaction studies analysis using microscale thermophoresis (MST) showed a K<sub>D</sub> value of 0.1036 ± 0.6001 µM for the PfLDH-BA complex and 0.7473 ± 0.3554 µM K<sub>D</sub> value for PfLDH-IMA.

Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation studies were used to measure and confirm the interactive strength of complexes. Molecular docking reported a binding score of − 1.155 kcal/mol for the PfLDH-BA complex and a binding score of − 3.200 kcal/mol for PfLDH-IMA. The PfHk-BA complex had − 2.871 kcal/mol and PfHk-IMA complex had − 4.225 kcal/mol binding score.

However, due to rapid industrialization, urbanization and lack of awareness, the world population now facing the threat of water shortage. To ensure that future living conditions are preserved, it is crucial to reduce water pollution and protect the ecosystem. Zinc oxide- reduced graphene oxide (ZnO-RGO) nanocomposite is used in this study as an adsorbent for the adsorption of methylene blue (MB) dye from an aqueous solution. An easy strategy was used for the synthesis of reduced graphene oxide nanoparticles (RGO), Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO) and ZnO-RGO nanocomposite. The synthesis of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) was accomplished through the exothermic reaction of a modified Hummer's method. In a novel approach, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) were synthesized using the green Leidenfrost technique. This study presents a comparative investigation of ZnO-RGO nanocomposite synthesis employing both green and chemical methods. Three distinct approaches were utilized to prepare the ZnO-RGO nanocomposite: (1) the innovative Leidenfrost green method for composite A1, (2) a chemical precipitation method for composite A2, and (3) a physical mixing sonication method for composite A3. This research marks the first application of the Leidenfrost technique in the synthesis of ZnO-RGO nanocomposites, contributing to the growing body of knowledge in this field. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Burnauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Zeta potential, transmittance electron microscope (TEM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) analyses are conducted for synthesized sample characterization. Comparing the XRD patterns of the three synthesis methods, it is notable that the intensity peaks of composite A3 were the highest when ZnO was synthesized using a green method, indicating a higher degree of crystallinity. FTIR analysis approves that combining ZnO with RGO affects the functional groups of the three nanocomposite surfaces. The SEM analysis shows ZnO NPs and RGO sheets are incorporated together. In the case of A1 composite sharp angles make a flower shape was observed due to the unique synthesizing method. The surface area for A2 composite is the highest (7.29 m<sup>2</sup>/g) compared with A1 (2.91 m<sup>2</sup>/g) and A3(1.90 m<sup>2</sup>/g). A comparison study is made among the three nanocomposites for MB dye removal. The effect of adsorbent dose, pH, contact time and initial dye concentration on dye adsorption has been studied.

The chromatographic separation was achieved on a C18 column (50 × 3.0 mm, 2.5 μm), using a mobile phase composed of methanol and acetonitrile (70:30 v/v) pumped in an isocratic mode at a flow rate of 0.7 mL/min.

The greenness profile of the method was assessed utilizing the eco-scale and the green analytical procedure Index.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":496,"journal":{"name":"BMC Chemistry","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://bmcchem.biomedcentral.com/counter/pdf/10.1186/s13065-024-01358-1","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142939044","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
