The binding properties of quercetin toward chloride anions were investigated by means of ¹H-NMR, C-NMR, and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) measurements, as well as computational calculations. The results indicate that quercetin behaves primarily as a ditopic receptor with the binding site of the B ring that exhibits stronger chloride affinity compared to the A ring. However, these sites are stronger receptors than those of catechol and resorcinol because of their conjugation with the carbonyl group located on the C ring. The 1:1 and 1:2 complexation of this flavonoid with Cl was also supported by ESI mass spectrometry.

In this study, we modified ONS-donor tridentate salicylaldimine main ligand-based Pt(II) complexes with monosaccharide functionalized pyridine co-ligand. All these complexes (C1-C12) were prepared in two steps continuous reaction by firstly, abstracting the ancillary chloride of the starting complexes with AgBF and secondly, adding the acetylated β-d-glucose conjugated pyridine. All these complexes were analyzed for their in vitro anticancer potency in human's gastric cancer MKN 45, colon cancer RPMI 4788 and non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells.

To understand the potential hazards of palladium particles dispersed in the environment, comprehensive toxicological studies are required. Quercetin (Que) is a natural flavonoid compound with antioxidant properties. This study was conducted to investigate the potential protective effects of Que (30 mg/kg bw) usage against oxidative stress, apoptosis, inflammation, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress damage in palladium chloride (PdCl2) (8 mg/kg bw)-induced hepatorenal toxicity in rats.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Commiphora leptophloeos (Imburana or Umburuna) represents a significant botanical resource within the Burseraceae family. Indigenous populations across Brazil have historically utilized this medicinal plant for addressing various pathological conditions, including respiratory diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, ulcerative lesions, and diverse inflammatory manifestations. Despite its ethnomedicinal significance, comprehensive investigations into the molecular mechanisms governing its anti-inflammatory properties remain inadequately explored, limiting our understanding of its potential therapeutic uses.
