- Growth and characterization of thiosemicarbazide hydrochloride: A semiorganic NLO material
-
Thiosemicarbazide hydrochloride (TSCHCL) was synthesized by mixing thiosemicarbazide and hydrochloride in 1:1 molar ratio in double distilled water. Single crystals of TSCHCL were grown by slow evaporation at room temperature and were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction study to determine the molecular structure and by FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectral analyses to confirm the synthesized compound. Thermogravimetric and differential thermal analyses reveal the thermal stability of the crystal. The transmission spectrum of TSCHCL showed that the crystal is transparent in the wavelength range 380-1100 nm. High resolution X-ray diffractometry (HRXRD) was employed to evaluate the perfection of the grown crystal. Mechanical properties of the grown crystal were studied using Vickers microhardness test. Second harmonic generation efficiency of the powdered TSCHCL was tested using Nd:YAG laser and is ~1.5 times that of potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate.

- ISOFLAVONOID ANALOGS AND THEIR METAL CONJUGATES AS ANTI-CANCER AGENTS
-
A pharmacologic agent for treating and/or preventing cancer, among other diseases and conditions, and particularly breast, prostate, and pancreatic cancer, in humans and animals. The novel pharmacologic agent is an isoflavonoid or isoflavonoid mimetic covalently attached to a cytotoxic pharmacophore that, preferably has the ability to conjugate with a metal salt to form a more potent metal complex, particularly a Cu(II) complex. The isoflavonoid or isoflavonoid mimetic may be non-fragmented steroidal hormone, such as progesterone which is structurally related to the isoflavone genistein, or a small molecule hormone mimetic, such as chromone. An illustrative non-fragmented steroidal embodiment is 17-acetyl-10,13- dimethyl- 1 ,2,6,7, 8,9, 11 , 12, 13 , 14, 15, 16, 17-tetradecahydrocyclopenta[a]phenanthren- 3-tbiosemicarbazone and its Cu(II) complex. Effective chromone analogs include the thiosemicarbazone and hydrazone analogs of 4-oxo-4H-chromene-3-carboxaldehyde and their Cu(IT) complexes.
