Nowadays, there is increased interest in the biosynthesis of microbial melanin related to their numerous biological functions and applications in many fields, especially in medical fields, including immune-modulating, antimicrobial antibiotic, antiviral antivenin, anticancer, antitumor activity, and anti-biofilm activity. Pyomelanin is a hydrophobic macromolecule that is typically dark brown or black in color, formed by the oxidative polymerization of phenolic or indolic compounds. Pyomelanin is reported to be safe for consumption, thus providing a crucial strategy for biocontrol of biofilm. Furthermore, natural pyomelanin is known as a potent antioxidant, photoprotective, and free radical scavenging. Objective: This study focuses on the extraction and parametric optimization of melanin using Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) isolates. Materials and Methods: P. aeruginosa was isolated from various clinical sources, including urinary tract infections, burn patients, and wound infections. The isolate’s identification was done by biochemical, cultural, and VITEK-2 compact system. The isolates were subjected to pyomelanin production in nutrient agar supplemented with L-tyrosine, and the potential isolate was selected and employed for melanin production using nutrient broth supplemented with L-tyrosine. The pyomelanin-producing isolates were further identified through the PCR analysis technique. Different physical parameters were used for optimum pyomelanin yield. Results: The potential P. aeruginosa isolates were further identified using 16s rRNA. Pyomelanin production was better at 2.9 µg/mL at 100 rpm. The highest pyomelanin production was 3.07 µg/mL after 72 h incubation. The optimum pH at 7 was 3.12 µg/mL. The highest pyomelanin yield at 40°C was 3.03 µg/mL, while the maximum pyomelanin was produced using 2 g/L tyrosine at 2.99 µg/mL. UV-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy analysis for pyomelanin pigment was at 273.5 nm. The infrared spectrum exhibited a broad absorption band around 3280.82 cm−1 which corresponds to the presence of -OH and N-H groups. Conclusion: This study provides knowledge on factors affecting pyomelanin production using bacteria in broth media supplemented with L-tyrosine.
Gelatin-grafted N- proflavine acryl amide was synthesized through two steps; firstly the Gelatin was grafted with acrylic acid free radically using Ammonium per-sulfate at 60℃, Then it was modified to its corresponding acyl chloride derivation, second step included the substitution with amino group of proflavine, in this research Gelatin was used as a natural nontoxic, water soluble polymer as a drug carrier. The prepared pro drug polymer was characterized by FTIR and 1H-NMR spectroscopies, Controlled drug release was studied in different pH values at 37℃. Many advantages were obtained comparing with other known methods.
Copper (I) complex containing folic acid ligand was prepared and characterized on the basis of metal analyses, UV-VIS, FTIR spectroscopies and magnetic susceptibility. The density functional theory (DFT) as molecular modeling calculations was used to determine the donor atoms of folic acid ligand which appear clearly at oxygen atoms binding to hydrogen. Detection of donation sights is supported by theoretical parameters such as geometry, mulliken population, mulliken charge and HOMO-LUMO gap obtained by DFT calculations.

Abstract
Oil is the most important natural resources in Iraq and represents the goal to others as well as Iraqi people. It is gift from God to all Iraqi people now and future. So we must maintain it and invest its revenue that achieve development in country and ensure the next generations' rights in it without external costs or negative externalities from extracted and invested it.
The most problems that we attempt to solve by this research are the exhausted, environmental degradation and theft from next generation that produced with oil contracts between Iraq and foreign companies. From here was th
