The supported ionic liquids have shown immense potential for numerous applications in catalysis and separation science. In the present review, the remarkable contribution of supported ionic liquids has been highlighted. The main emphasis has been laid on describing the facile separation of gas from binary gas mixtures owing to the capability of selective transport of permeable gases across supported membranes and removal o Read More

This review article provides a brief assessment of the biological and pharmaceutical developments of fluorinated drugs. It also discusses possible impacts on the further development of new fluoro-containing pharmaceuticals. Structural aspects of new drug-candidates currently under development and their biological properties, therapeutic potential and syntheses are critically evaluated.

Rapid tumor growth is dependent on the capability of tumor blood vessels and glycolysis to provide oxygen and nutrients. Tumor hypoxia is a common characteristic of many solid tumors, and it essentially happens when the growth of the tumor exceeds the concomitant angiogenesis. Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) as the critical transcription factor in hypoxia regulation is activated to adapt to this hypoxia situation. F Read More

The reported enantioselective synthesis for the preparation of (+)-(2R,3R)-2-(4- hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-3-hydroxymethyl-1,4-benzodioxane-6-carbaldehyde, precursor for the stereoselective synthesis of bioactive flavanolignans, could not be reproduced. Thus, the target molecule was prepared via the synthesis and separation of diastereomeric O-glucosides. TDDFT-ECD calculations and the 1,4-benzodioxane helicity rul Read More

Grignard reactions were applied to synthesize 2-ethynyl-2-hydroxylallobetulin 5 from 2-oxoallobetulin 4. The compound plays an important role as starting material to synthesize heterocyclic triterpenes using the click reaction. A series of new 1,2,3-triazole derivatives derived from 2-oxoallobetulin were successfully obtained. Under similar reaction conditions, only one compound 6 kept the hydroxyl functional group, w Read More
