Multistep synthesis of novel indole–benzimidazole hydrazone hybrids as xanthine oxidase inhibitors: In-Vitro evaluation, molecular docking, MD simulations and DFT studies

This work reports the synthesis of a focused library of indole-benzimidazole hydrazone hybrids ( 17 - 35 ) via a multistep procedure involving thiolation, hydrazination, and Schiff base condensation. The final structures were confirmed using 1 H-NMR, 13 C-NMR, and FT-IR spectrosc...

Advanced cathode engineering in sodium-ion batteries: doping, phase, and interface modulation from layer oxides to polyanionics

Abstract Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have attracted significant attention as viable alternatives to lithium-ion batteries; however, their practical advancement remains limited by cathode-related challenges, including sluggish Na + diffusion, structural degradation, and rapid capa...

Synthesis and Characterization of Ternary Metallic Oxide (Zn-Mn-AgO) Nanoparticles and Their Photocatalytic Degradation Performance for Malachite Green Dye

In this work, a Zn-Mn-AgO ternary metal oxide nanoparticle was prepared through a straightforward co-precipitation route and evaluated as a photocatalyst for degrading malachite green dye. We used Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR),...

GENDER ASSIGNMENT TO ENGLISH NEUTRAL NOUNS DENOTING PERSONS BY PASHTO EFL LEARNERS: A LINGUISTIC RELATIVITY PERSPECTIVE

The mismatch between the gender systems in cross-linguistic interactions is significant in the study of psycholinguistics and sociolinguistics with focus on language and gender. Pashto and English differ in their gender systems- possessing grammatical and natural genders respecti...
