In this review, we summarize the diverse marine natural compounds obtained from the genus Verrucella and their pharmacological effects and present a survey of the natural products taxonomy according to species. Sixty-six natural substances, including fifty-three steroids, six briarane-type diterpenoids, five nitrogenous bases, one amide, and one glycerol derivative, were obtained from Verrucella spp., which were main Read More

This review describes different synthetic methods for the preparation of sulfonamides. Generally, sulfonamides are synthesized from sulfonyl chloride derivative and amino derivative. A series of sulfonamide derivatives 7a-c, 8a,b, 9, 10, 11a,b, and 12 were synthesized in alkaline media by reacting different amino compounds with a p-toluene sulfonyl chloride. Different amino derivatives 13, 15, 17, 19, and 21 reacted with p Read More

Fluorescein derivatives have attracted a great deal of attention for ubiquitous applications on account of their unique properties. Particularly, the 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescein (DCF) is of paramount importance in biological, analytical, and industrial fields. Mainly, DCF has been employed as a reactant in reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation reactions in biological applications. It has been utilized in oxidative stress and cell s Read More

This review aims to collate literature work reported by researchers (from 1994 to 2021) to provide an overview of the available methodologies for the synthesis and diverse pharmacological activities exhibited by pyrazole based molecules. This review highlights recent reports on various routes of synthesis and potential biological evaluation studies viz. anticancer, AT (II) inhibitory, antiinflammatory activities, HIV-1-RT inhibitory, a Read More

Background: Aldol reactions play an important role in the development of organic synthesis- owing to their critical importance for the conjugation of carbon-carbon bonds while concurrently, one or two chiral centers are reported. In the modern scenario, the Aldol condensation reaction has arisen as perhaps the most significant reaction for the formation of novel medicinal agents, revealing promising pharmacological activiti Read More
