Piperazine is a six-membered heterocyclic ring with two nitrogen atoms at positions one and four. This piperazine moiety can be present in a slew of well-known medicines that have pharmacophoric effects on a variety of receptors. Various piperazine analogs have core biological activities involving the activation of monoamine pathways, primarily on neurotransmitter receptors. As a result, piperazine analogs have a wide r Read More

Thermal reactions accompanied by emission of light (UV-Vis, IR, radio waves) are briefly reviewed. The Boltzmann law requires that molecules (atoms, ions, radicals, radical-ions) have distribution of energy levels according to the exponential law. Criteria for observation of emission of light quanta are presented. The well-known example is chemiluminescence, where a thermally “hot” molecular product returns to the groun Read More

Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) are porous crystalline materials that have emerged as promising molecular materials in optoelectronics, catalysis, and gas storage applications. COFs exhibit unique features, such as adaptability for various substrates, high chemical stability, tunability, ease of working, and recyclability, making them efficient catalysts. The current mini-review article discusses the synthesis and applicatio Read More

Nowadays, heterocyclic compounds have attained a prominent place among the various classes of aromatic organic compounds. Benzimidazoles are important classes of heterocyclic compounds that comprise six-member benzene and five-member imidazole fused ring systems. Benzimidazole scaffolds remain the central focus among the available heterocyclic compounds because of several pharmacological, clin Read More

Marine microorganisms are an important source of active natural products and drugs, which have become a research hotspot in recent decades. Due to the special marine ecological environment, the metabolic pathways of marine organisms have certain characteristics, and their metabolites are novel in structures and unique in activities. Xanthones and benzophenones are widely distributed in nature, and most of them are fo Read More
