AB  - The biological activity of six structurally similar tetradentate Schiff base copper(II) complexes, namely [Cu(ethylenediamine-bis-acetylacetonate)] (CuAA) and five derivatives where two methyl groups are replaced by phenyl, (CuPP), CF3 (CuTT) or by mixed groups CH3/CF3 (CuAT), Ph/CF3 (CuPT), and Ph/CH3 (CuAP) has been investigated. The set of antioxidant assays was performed, and the results were expressed as IC50 and EC50 values. The series of complexes showed interesting bioactivity and were investigated for the determination of antioxidant, antifungal, antimicrobial, and cytotoxic activity. A significant antioxidant behavior was exhibited by complex CuAA, greater than Trolox in the Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) assay. Antibacterial assay over Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogenic bacterial strains and some fungal pathogens were studied. Antiproliferative activity of complexes in two human tumor cell lines, breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7, colon adenocarcinoma LS-174, and normal fibroblast cells-MRC-5, examined the effect on cell cycle progression. The significant cytotoxic potential, comparable to cisplatin cytotoxicity, was determined in human breast cancer cell line-MCF-7 with IC50 values being 17.53–31.40 μM and human colon cancer cell line-LS-174 with IC50 values being 15.22–23.92 μM. All tested compounds showed nearly twice more selectivity toward cancer cell lines than normal cells. The interactions of complexes with human serum albumin (HSA), the most prominent protein in plasma, were investigated using spectroscopic fluorescence techniques. The complexes bind to human serum albumin at multiple sites (n = 0.2–1.9), displaying a moderate binding constant Ka = 4.1–12.4 × 104 M−1. The molecular docking experiment effectively showed complex binding to HSA and DNA molecular fragments.

AB  - This study presents a detailed characterization of 27 honey samples from the Tara Mountain region in Serbia using different comprehensive techniques and methods. The types of the honey samples were defined as monofloral (4 samples), honeydew (5 samples) and polyfloral (18 samples) honey based on determined polyphenol content, antioxidant activity, electrical conductivity and melissopalynological analyses. Physicochemical parameters such as pH (4.13–4.94), diastase activity (24.20–41.70 DN), acidity (14.60–29.70 meq/kg), content of 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (in range below 5, up to 16.90 mg/kg), sucrose (0.20–3.90 g/100 g), and moisture content (15.01–19.23%) confirmed the required quality of the honey samples. Sensory analysis revealed honey characteristics favorable to consumers. Analyses of 19 phenolic compounds using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography with a diode-array detection and triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (UHPLC-DAD-MS/MS) revealed six phenolic acids and 13 other compounds from the group of flavonoids and their glycosides. In all the samples the highest content was determined for p-coumaric acid, followed by caffeic acid and pinocembrin. Besides total phenolic content and radical scavenging activity, antimicrobial activity was also examined. Most honey samples showed bactericidal activity against Staphylococcus aureus and bacteriostatic activity against Escherichia coli, while none of the honey samples inhibited the growth of Candida albicans. Chemometric analyses were applied for an in-depth study of the results to further evaluate the characteristics of the honey samples studied. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used for assessing the differences in physicochemical parameters, polyphenols content and antioxidant capacity between honey samples. The unrooted cluster tree was used to group the samples based on the melissopalynological analyses.

AB  - Schiff bases, and their Cu(II) complexes, are known for their biological activity. In this work, antibacterial activity against Gram-negative strains of Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus pyogenes, as well as Gram-positive Staphylococcus pyogenes and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was studied, together with antifungal activity against Candida, Aspergillus, and Mucor strains. Also, technically simple, and rapid tests like ABTS, HORAC, and ORAC were used to investigate the antioxidant activity in order to compare obtained results with 
different type of tests.

AB  - Several natural isolates of Bacillus strains namely 5B, 12B, 16B, 18 and 24B were grown at two different temperatures in submerged fermentation for the production of raw-starch-digesting alpha-amylases. All strains except Bacillus sp. 18 produced more alpha-amylase at 37 degrees C. The hydrolysis of raw cornstarch followed the same pattern. Efficient hydrolysis was obtained with alpha-amylases from Bacillus sp. 5B, 12B, 16B and 24B grown at 37 degrees C and Bacillus sp. 18 grown at 50 degrees C. Zymography after isoelectric focusing showed that alpha-amylases were produced in multiple forms, from 2 to 6, depending on the strain when they were growing at 37 degrees C, while growth at 50 degrees C induced only 1 or 2 isoforms. Thin layer chromatography (TLC) analysis of the hydrolysis products of raw corn and soluble starch by alpha-amylases revealed the production of various mixtures of oligosaccharides. In most cases, G3 was the most dominant product from soluble starch while G2, G3 and G5 were the main products of raw starch hydrolysis. This indicates that the obtained alpha-amylases could be used for starch liquidification or short-chain-oligosaccharide formation, depending on the type of starch (raw or soluble) used for the hydrolysis.

AB  - Four fullerosteroidal conjugates, previously confirmed to express two- to threefold better antioxidant activity in vitro than C-60, were subjected to additional studies, including electrochemical, theoretical, and morphological examination. All tested compounds underwent reversible, diffusion-controlled reductions. A notable influence of the solvent properties on the reduction potential, the level of aggregation, and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy was observed. Theoretical calculations indicated that the energy gain obtained by an intermediate formation, together with compounds' polarizability, polarity, and lipophilicity contributed to the radical quenching capacity. Very large supramolecular aggregates of all fullerosteroidal esters with no hierarchical arrangement were observed in precipitated samples, while solvent induced self-assembling led to round nanoplates, which further arranged to flower-shaped hierarchically ordered architectures or uniformly distributed discoid particles. As in electrochemical studies, fine tuning of the aggregation level was achieved by the solvent.
