Anticancer drugs are chemotherapeutic compounds used for cancer treatment. Therefore, this research aims to synthesize and characterize Zinc (II) dichloroethylenediamine (Zn(en)Cl 2) complex, as well as determine its antiproliferative activity against HeLa cells. The Zn(en)Cl 2 complex was successfully synthesized, and the antiproliferative activity was tested. Methods: The synthesis involved reacting ethylenediamine and KCl with Zn metal. The complex formed was characterized using a conductometer, UV-Vis spectroscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy, and XRD, while the activity was measured against HeLa cells. Result: The synthesis yielded a 56.12% conversion with a melting point of 198-200 o C and a conductivity value of 2.02 mS/cm. The Zn(en)Cl 2 complex showed potential activity against HeLa cells with an IC 50 value of 898.35 µg/mL, which was evidenced by changes in the morphological structure of HeLa cells. Its interaction with DNA targets was investigated by employing molecular docking. Conclusion: The observed data indicated that the Zn(en)Cl 2 complex bound to DNA at the nitrogenous base Guanine (DG) by coordinate covalent bonds. Interestingly, DG maintained interaction with the complex until the end of the docking simulation. Additionally, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was conducted, and the results showed that Zn(en)Cl 2 remained bound to the DNA binding pocket all through the process.

CS was used as an environmentally friendly pore-forming agent. The applied temperature treatment was based on thermal analysis (TGA/DTA) results and followed a sintering temperature of 900 to 1100 °C. The results showed that at sintering temperatures from 900 to 1000 °C, the crystallinities of the ceramic decrease (from 76.06 to 74.06%) and the crystallite size decreases (from 35.71 to 34.47 nm) while the lattice strain increases (calculated from the Full Width at Half Maximum (β) of the diffraction peak). The highest porosity of ceramic occurred at a sintering temperature of 1000 °C of 37.82 ± 0.19, but the formation of heterogeneous microstructure was observed. The resulting pore size for all temperature treatments was almost mesoporous (19.1 Å). Based on the results obtained, it is emphasized that the sintering temperature can be used to adjust the porosity and microstructure of porous ceramics.

The antibacterial results shows that compounds 6i more than 6f are as potent against S. aureus with compare to standard drug. In the case of B. subtilis the compounds 6f more than 6i are more active. In the case of E.coli the compounds 6i more than 6f are more active. The compounds 6f and 6i are more active against P. aeruginosa. The anti-fungal activity result shows that the compounds 6f and 6i are as active as standard drug Voriconazole against A.niger. In the case of C. albicans the compounds 6f and 6i are showing the same activity with compare to standard drug. All the synthesized novel compounds were characterized by FTIR, 1 H-NMR, 13 C-NMR, HRMS spectroscopic methods and the elemental analysis (C, H and N).

Approximately 7.5 million people who have died from cancer generally lived in poor and developing countries (WHO, 2020). The major causes of cancer are unhealthy living habits (e.g. smoking and wrong diet) and air pollution (WHO, 2020). Breast cancer is a neoplasm that is the main cause of death in women, especially those over the age of 40 years (Seidler and Huber, 2020). Various therapies, such as surgery, partial irradiation, endocrine therapy and modern medicine, have been applied to treat cancer (Schneeweiss, et al., 2020).

The complex of Zn(II) cysteine dithiocarbamate was prepared by "in situ method" and characterized by using Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) and Infra-Red (IR) spectroscopy, melting point and conductivity. The results of UV-Vis maximum spectrums of Zn(II)cysteine dithiocarbamate at 282 nm and 374 nm indicated that electronic transition π→π* dan n→π* of CS2 and N=C=S. While the presence of IR spectra at the wavelength in the region of 397-534 cm-1 indicated that has been coordination occurred between Zn(II) with Sulphur (S), Nitrogen (N) and Oxygen(O) atoms from cysteine dithiocarbamate ligands. Complex characterization using UV-Vis and IR showed that complex Zn(II) cysteine dithiocarbamate compounds were successfully synthesized by the in-situ method. The results of the cytotoxicity assay of Zn(II) cysteine dithiocarbamate complex compounds in MCF-7 cells obtained IC50 values of Zn(II) complex = 98.60 μg/mL and cisplatin (IC50 = 200 μg/mL. These result can be seen that IC50 value of Zn(II) complex is lower than cisplatin so that Zn(II) complex has very good inhibitory activity against MCF-7 cancer cells compared to cisplatin and it can even cause apoptosis in cancer cells.

Several factors affect the corrosion and scaling of water, which include pH, temperature, alkalinity, Ca2+ hardness, TDS, concentrations of Cl–, SO42–, CO32–, and HCO3–. Also, several indices can be measured using these properties such as the Langelier saturation index, Ryznar index, Aggressive index, Larson, Scold index, water quality index, and Puckorius index. These indicators determine the degree of corrosiveness and sedimentation of water. The purpose of this review article was to study the impact of various factors on the corrosiveness and sedimentation of water. To this end, different sources of water in different countries were studied and the impact of physical and chemical parameters on their corrosiveness was investigated. Also, the reaction mechanism of water corrosion inside the pipe was studied. Finally, practical and constructive suggestions were presented to solve the problems of...

Zinc-contaminated water poses a potential threat to biotic communities. This research aims to develop phytoremediation technology to effectively remove toxic zinc from contaminated lake Tempe. The use of plants as phytoremediation agents to accumulate metals in polluted water is considered adequate because the method is environmentally friendly and presents economic value. This study was therefore designed to assess the phytoremediation potential of water spinach against zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), and lead (Pb). Water spinach was planted in Tempe lake contaminated with zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), and lead (Pb) metals, and the study was conducted for 30 days under natural conditions. Subsequently, the Tempe lake physicochemical properties, including pH, TDS, TSS, total nitrogen, total phosphate as P, and Zn content, were measured, before and after the phytoremediation process. The ability of plants to absorb zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), and lead (Pb) were assessed by the bioconcentration factor (BCF). The results showed that there was a correlation between the BCF value and the phytoremediation time. The longer the phytoremediation time, the higher the BCF value are obtained. Infra-Red (IR) data shows the presence of metal binding in plants with the functional groups C=S, C=N, and OH. Water spinach has the potential as a phytoremediation agent in remediating zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), and lead (Pb) metals in polluted lake Tempe water.
