Flexible self-healing nanocomposite based gelatin/tannic acid/acrylic acid reinforced with zinc oxide nanoparticles and hollow silver nanoparticles based on porous silica for rapid wound healing

Ashkan Farazin et al.

Summary: Gelatin, tannic acid, and acrylic acid are used as a matrix in the research. Zinc oxide nanoparticles and hollow silver nanoparticles with ascorbic acid are considered as reinforcement. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) are used to analyze the functional groups and phases of the nanoparticles, while scanning electron microscope analysis (FESEM) is used to investigate the morphology and porosity. Mechanical tests and antibacterial/toxicity tests are performed to determine the optimal state of the composite. The results show that the sample with 30 wt% of zinc oxide and 5 wt% of hollow nanoparticles exhibits the best mechanical and biological properties.

Mohamed El Fadili et al.

Summary: A structural class of forty GlyT1 inhibitors was studied using molecular modeling techniques. QSAR analysis showed that human GlyT1 activity is influenced by various descriptors. In silico pharmacokinetics predicted that L28 and L30 are non-toxic inhibitors with good ADME profiles and high permeability through the CNS. Molecular docking and MD simulation confirmed the specific binding of the predicted inhibitors to key amino acids of DAT, suggesting their potential as therapeutics for memory improvement.

Oussama Abchir et al.

Summary: This study explores the relationship between the molecular structures of novel benzimidazole derivatives and their inhibitory activity against alpha-amylase. The findings suggest that the exact mass, topological diameter, and rotational bonding structural properties of these derivatives significantly affect their bioactivity. By designing molecules with favorable structural properties, the biological inhibitory activity against alpha-amylase was improved. Three molecules were selected as potential drug candidates for aiding in starch and glycogen digestion based on drug-like properties, pharmacokinetics, and toxicity screenings. Molecular docking simulations and molecular dynamic simulations validated the stability and interactions between the proposed molecules and the alpha-amylase protein.
