pH-Driven Structural Optimization of Hydroxyapatite/Alginate Composites for Sustained Clindamycin Release and Antibacterial Applications

Bacterial infections, especially those caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, still pose a significant challenge for biomedical applications, such as the management of wound and bone infections. This investigation aimed to prepare and characterize hydroxyapatite–al...

Design and synthesis of 6-chloro-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine linked chalcone derivatives and their antimalarial activity evaluation

A series of nine triazine-chalcone hybrid compounds (7a–i) were designed and synthesized through a molecular hybridization strategy integrating 1,3,5-triazine and chalcone moieties. The hybrids were synthesized via sequential nucleophilic substitution reactions and characterized...
