Abstract Chitosan–cinnamaldehyde biopolymer nanoparticles were synthesized via a green and facile Schiff-base approach and subsequently evaluated for their structural and antibacterial properties. Structural characterization using FTIR confirmed imine (C = N) formation, while XRD analysis revealed a noticeable reduction in crystallinity from approximately ~ 40–45% for pristine chitosan to ~ 28–32…

Abstract 4-Quinolones are a class of heterocycles traditionally known for their biological properties. More recently, those derivatives have gained attention as versatile ligands for the construction of metal-centered molecular materials, such as coordination polymers (CPs), opening new possibilities for environmental applications. In this study, a novel dicarboxylated organic compound, 1-ethyl-4…

Abstract Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) remains one of the most aggressive malignancies, where conventional chemotherapy is limited by poor drug penetration and systemic toxicity. Magnetically responsive nanoplatforms offer a promising materials-based strategy to improve drug localization and enable externally controlled release. In this work, we present a comprehensive physicochemical ch…
