This paper presents the influence of acetylation on the cytotoxic and antioxidant activity of natural triterpenes. Oleanolic acid, betulin, betulinic acid and other triterpenes have been modified to improve their pharmacological properties. Acylation...

Cannabis sativa L. is known for its high-value compounds, like Cannabidiol (CBD) and Cannabidiolic Acid (CBDA). It is widely used in the pharmaceutical and food industries. Different extraction methods, like Soxhlet and maceration, are commonly emplo...

This study aimed to produce invertase with characteristics comparable to commercial formulations using a low-cost raw material, employing environmentally friendly extraction and refinement methods. Sifted yeast, the residual baker’s yeast in in...

Through-space charge transfer (TSCT) between spatially adjacent donor and acceptor units has garnered considerable attention as a promising design principle for optoelectronic materials. While TSCT systems incorporating rigid spacers have been extens...

Photosensitizers with high singlet oxygen (1O2) generation capacity under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation are essential and challenging for photodynamic therapy (PDT). A simple yet effective molecular design strategy is realized to construct 1 + 1 &g...

A series of water-soluble molecules based on 8-isopropyl-2-methyl-5-nitroquinoline and 1,10-phenanthroline core were designed by introducing a π-conjugated bridge, vinyl unit –CH=CH–. We present the selective conversion of methyl group...

This study evaluates the corrosion-inhibiting effects of the methanolic (P1) and the hydroalcoholic (P2) extracts of the Rhus typhina L. leaves on carbon steel (OL37) in 1 M HCl. Extracts were prepared with microwave-assisted extraction and character...

Nicotine, a major alkaloid in tobacco, poses significant environmental risks due to its persistence in wastewater. This study explores the degradation of naturally extracted nicotine from tobacco leaves by the white-rot fungus Trametes versicolor, ai...

Salvia atropatana is a medicinal plant native to Middle Eastern countries. It has been traditionally used in Turkish and Iranian folk medicine to treat infections, wounds, inflammatory diseases, spastic conditions, and diabetes. Its therapeutic poten...

N,N-Dimethyl N-[4-[[[2-(4-methylphenyl)-6,7-dihydro-5H-benzocyclohepten-8-yl]carbonyl]amino]benzyl]tetra-hydro-2H-pyran-4-aminium chloride (TAK779) has a potent binding affinity for the chemokine receptor CCR5 and low cytotoxicity; however, their int...
