Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Stress, modern lifestyle, diet, and prolonged survival are a few reasons why modern civilization diseases emerge. Atherosclerosis, diabetes, obesity, oxidative stress, and cancer are contemporary challenges for medicine and, thus, modern organic chemistry. The search for new chemotherapeutics and biologically active materials based on organic components is one of the current research trends. Researchers are exploring small organic molecules, compounds of natural origin, and materials containing various heteroatoms like sulfur, selenium, phosphorus, and boron to create innovative solutions for different diseases. Additionally, the development of new synthetic methodologies such as organocatalysis, stereocontrolled reactions, and environmentally friendly approaches like “green chemistry”, “flow chemistry”, and others (e.g., solvent-free reactions, high pressure, ultrasound, and microwaves) is contributing to the search for effective bioactive materials.

This Special Issue welcomes the submission of research focused on current studies performed in chemical laboratories involving the synthesis of organic molecules and materials possessing any biological applications. Works of this particular research, aimed at solving basic and mechanistic problems or of practical importance, are welcome to be submitted.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

In this study, the voltammetric behavior of apocynin on a boron-doped diamond electrode in a phosphate buffer (pH 7.3) has been reported for the first time. The oxidation process is quasi-reversible, diffusion-controlled, and involves one electron and one proton. The product of the electrode reaction is an unstable radical that undergoes successive chemical transformations near the working electrode. The proposed mechanism of this process can be described as EqCi and served as the basis for the development of a new voltammetric method for determining apocynin in natural samples. The analytical signal was the anodic peak on DPV curves at a potential of 0.605 V vs. Ag/AgCl. A linear response was observed in the concentration range of 0.213–27.08 mg L−1. The estimated LOD and LOQ values were 0.071 and 0.213 mg L−1, respectively. The effectiveness of the method was demonstrated both in control determinations and in the analysis of the dietary supplement. This procedure is simple, fast, sensitive, selective, and requires no complicated sample preparation, which is limited only to a simple extraction with ethanol. The low consumption of non-toxic reagents makes it environmentally friendly. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first presentation of a voltammetric procedure to determine this analyte studied in a phosphate buffer solution on a boron-doped diamond electrode. It can also be easily adapted to determine other phenolic compounds with antioxidant properties in various matrices. Full article
