In the past two decades, low melting mixtures have become attractive because of their interesting characteristics such as physicochemical properties, low cost of components, easiness of preparation, low toxicity, biorenewability and biodegradability. Carbohydrates the most important and widespread renewable compounds on earth, are introduced in low melting mixtures to get more cost-effective and renewable solve Read More

Removing harmful species from water is essential for the protection of the environment and human health. Among various treatment techniques, adsorption is particularly attractive because of its advantages of easy operation, high removal efficiency, environmental friendliness and simple regeneration of the adsorbent. As the key factor of this technique, the choice of adsorbent is vital. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) ha Read More

With the increasing shortage of water resources and the improvement in people's awareness regarding environmental protection, the traditional water pollution control technology cannot meet the needs of the development of environmental protection. In recent years, the rapid development of nanotechnology and nanomaterials has provided a good opportunity for the innovation of water treatment technology and has attrac Read More

Malignant tumor is one of the diseases threatening human life and health. Traditional antitumor therapy has some limitations in clinical application, so the development of targeted antitumor drugs has become one of the important research directions in cancer medicine. Since the first tyrosine kinase inhibitor was approved in 2001, this research field has attracted global attention. In this survey, the Web of Science database was Read More

Chalcones(1, 3, diaryl-2-propen-1-ones) are prominent compounds and therefore, various procedures have been worked out for their synthesis. This review highlights the synthesis and pharmacological properties of chalcone derivatives. Chalcones are flavonoids that have been studied extensively for their medicinal and biological properties. These chalcone derivatives have shown important antimalarial, anticancer, anti Read More

The thiazole scaffold is an essential structural foundation in a plethora of pharmaceutical products having an extensive array of biological activities. Consequently, its synthesis has been extensively discussed in the literature. In this mini review, we have summarized the recent advances in thiazole synthesis, covering articles published between 2002 and 2021. We have reviewed and discussed various recent and novel route Read More

Compounds containing a C=N moiety, namely imines, have been widely used for industrial purposes due to their various biological activities. Cyclic imines are an essential class of nitrogen-based heterocycles and valuable scaffolds for designing and obtaining new biologically active compounds. However, the proposal and implementation of synthetic methods for this heterocyclic system are mainly conditioned by different structu Read More

The isolation of Rebeccamycin, a family of indolocarbazole alkaloids from natural sources, and the biosynthesis of this class of compounds are briefly reviewed. Rebeccamycin and its analogues have been extensively studied by medicinal chemists, over the last four decades, due to its wide range of biological activities, predominantly with neuroprotective and antitumor properties.
