Conductometric, physico-chemical, and biological activity investigations of a copper–indometacin complex by AbdulAziz A. Alayyafi, Kholoud Z. Ghanem, Modhi S. Almarri, Shereen E. Salem, Esam A. Gomaa, Elsayed M. AbouElleef

“…Three stoichiometric complexes of copper–indometacin (1/2), (1/1), and (2/1) (M/L) were detected and their formation constants (Kf) were estimated by using the conductometric method and the Gibbs free energy change (ΔGf) was also estimated. The antimicrobial activities of indometacin and (Cu-Indo) complex have been studied using the disc diffusion method against Gram-negative bacteria (P. aeruginosa, E. coli, and K. pneumoniae), Gram-positive bacteria (S. aureus, B. cereus, and S. epidermidis), and fungi (C. albicans). …”

Salinity and Sugar Content Detection by Wideband Microwave–Based Patch Antenna Sensor by M. N. Rahman, S. M. Taohidul Islam, Md. Maniruzzaman, M. T. Islam

“…In salt and sugar content detection, the sensor operates at 3.50 GHz, 5.80 GHz, and 9.30 GHz, where the reflection coefficients (S11) are −19 dB, −30 dB, and −19.50 dB, respectively, in the free space. The reflection coefficient gradually reduces when the percentages of salt and sugar increase as the dielectric constants of the solution decrease. …”

Nanoliposomal Coencapsulation of Dorema aucheri Extract and Curcumin; Enhanced Cytotoxicity, Apoptosis Induction, and Inhibition of EGFR Gene Expression in Oral Cancer Cells OCC-02 by Mahshid Azizi, Ghasem Ghalamfarsa, Fatemeh Khosravani, Hassan Bardania, Shahriar Azizi

“…Based on the results, nanoliposomes had a size of 91 ± 10 nm with a polydispersity index of 0.13. Free curcumin, the extract, and the curcumin-extract combination showed dose-dependent toxicity against cancer cells; yet, the extract (IC50: 86 µg/ml) and curcumin-extract (IC50: 65 µg/ml) activities were much more than curcumin (IC50: 121 µg/ml). …”
