    A new series of transition metal complexes of Mn(ΙΙ), Fe(ΙΙ), Co(ΙΙ) and Ni(ΙΙ) is synthesized from aminoguanidine and 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid ligands with the formula (N4H7C)2[M{(C10H6(O)(COO)}2]·2H2O. The synthesized complexes were characterized by analytical, spectral and thermal studies. The elemental analysis confirms the composition of the complexes. The XRD studies show that all the complexes are isostructural in nature. The complexes were screened for antimicrobial activity against a Gram-positive, Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis), and a Gram-negative, Escherichia coli (E. coli), bacterial species. The antibacterial results were concurrent with the output of the DFT investigation of metal complex, showing that the aminoguanidine moiety plays a key role in biological activity. Molecular docking studies have been carried out to identify the binding affinity and the mode of interaction of metal complexes with E. coli protein (2FUM). Further the synthesized complex is used as a single source precursor for preparation of nano metal oxides. The photocatalytic activity was carried out using the metal oxide as catalyst for degradation of dye materials. The metal oxide is found to be an efficient catalyst for degradation of methyl orange dye.

    (Elsevier, 2022-10) Ponnusamy, Kanchana; Venkatesan, Hemapriya; Natarajan, Arunadevi; Sankaran, Shanmuga Sundari; Ill-Min, Chung; Mayakrishnan, Prabakaran
    Green synthesis of nanoparticles by eco-friendly methods is a recent technique which draws the attention of researchers because of the reward over many conventional chemical methods. The present work focuses on aqueous Limonia acidissima leaf extract in synthesizing silver nanoparticles and its applications in a simple way. The silver nanoparticles formed were characterized by Infrared, Ultra violet-visible, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopic, and atomic force microscopic techniques. The powder X-ray diffraction studies and transmission electron microscopic images reveal that the silver nanoparticles synthesized were approximately 10–40 nm and have a spherical structure. The nanoparticles were assayed for their antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant activity. The antimicrobial studies for the silver nanoparticles show a maximum zone of inhibition of 8.8 mm for Bacillus subtilis bacteria and 8.5 mm for Candida albicans fungi at 3 and 1 μg/mL respectively. In-silico ADMET studies reveal that the toxicity, bioactivity, pharmacokinetics and drug-likeness properties of Limonia acidissima leaf extract is good. The molecular docking studies show that the microbial activity is high for Bacillus subtilis and Candida albicans showing the coincidence of the in silico and in vitro studies as expected. The free radical scavenging activity of nanoparticles is 80 for 100 μg/mL. The 50% of inhibition of silver nanoparticles against human breast cancer cell lines is 18 μg/mL. It is evident that silver nanoparticles would be helpful in treating cancer cell lines and have great perspectives in the biomedical sector.

    (Elsevier, 2021-05) Venkatesan, Hemapriya; Ill-Min, Chung; Seung-Hyun, Kim; Mayakrishnan, Prabakaran
    The potential of human hair extract (HRE), a biodegradable biowaste extract, to protect copper surface and inhibit metallic corrosion in 1 M HCl was investigated using electrochemical and weight loss techniques. The results revealed that HRE exhibits an efficient corrosion-mitigating effect via adsorption onto the metal surface following a Langmuir isotherm. A maximum inhibition efficiency (IE %) of 92.47 % was achieved using 100 ppm of the HRE inhibitor. Tafel plot results revealed the mixed-mode corrosion protection behavior of HRE. Surface analysis using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) provided evidence for the precipitation of a protective HRE film on the metal surface. The interaction of HRE with copper was investigated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectroscopy; they confirmed the above conclusions.

    (Springer Link, 2020-01-11) Gowraraju, Nirmala Devi; Chan, Basha Nusrath Unnisa; Selvaraj, Mohana Roopan; Venkatesan, Hemapriya; Subramanian, Chitra; Ill-Min, Chung; Seung-Hyun, Kim; Mayakrishnan, Prabakaran
    Three different floxacins (Ciprofloxacin, Levofloxacin, and Norfloxacin) were used to enhance the inhibition property of Dextrin (Dex) against the dissolution of mild steel in acid medium. Substantial increase in the inhibition property was observed against mild steel dissolution by the addition of floxacins than with pure Dex. Weights loss experiments proved the potential of Fluoroquinolones (FQs) in enhaning the corrosion inhibition property of Dex on metal by proving its best ability at lower concentrations. Adsorption of Dex and floxacins on metal surface was observed to accept with Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The results from EIS studies add to the enhancing property of floxacins on Dex. While the mixed type behavior of inhibitors were confirmed by polarization studies, images from SEM, EDS and AFM gathers strength to propose the formation of protective layer.

    (Elsevier, 2020-12) Ill-Min, Chung; Ramalingam, Malathy; Rameshkumar, Priyadharshini; Venkatesan, Hemapriya; Seung-Hyun, Kim; Mayakrishnan, Prabakaran
    Magnolia kobus DC. (M. kobus), a prominent Southeast Asian flowering plant species, was investigated for its inhibition efficiency against mild steel corrosion in 1 M H2SO4. The extract (M. kobus) was identified to have 145.80 μg/g of myricetin and 102.32 μg/g syringic acid as prominent components, with a total phenolic content (TPC) of 95.26 mg/g and a total flavonoid content (TFC) of 25.38 mg/g. The mass-loss measurements showed that 500 ppm of M. kobus extract was able to inhibit corrosion, with an efficiency of 95.01% at 303 ± 1 K. Reduction of dissolved iron content in the inhibited solution than in the inhibitor free solution observed in Atomic Adsorption Spectroscopy (AAS) revealed the corrosion mitigating effect of inhibitor on mild steel. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) analysis of the protected and unprotected mild steel samples indicate adsorption of M. Kobus on the electrode surface. UV–vis and FT-IR studies complement the above results. The electrochemical studies indicated that M. kobus functioned as a mixed-type indicator and myricetin along with other plant components present in the plant extract contributed to the inhibition process.
