A series of 4-fluorophenylpyrazole clubbed 1,3,4-oxadiazole and 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1 H )-ones were prepared by cyclization of Biginelli-type adducts. Structures were assigned on the basis of known spectral techniques. All the scaffolds were evaluated for in vitro antimicrobial activity by broth micro dilution bioassay method and in vitro antitubercular property by microplate alamar blue assay method. Compounds 3j and 3l containing -OH and -CH 3 groups were act as potent antimicrobials and antitubercular candidates with relatively low cytotoxicity on VERO cells.

Ten novel usnic acid based imidazolium salts were synthesized by employing a two-step protocol. The anti-inflammatory potential of the newly synthesised compounds was evaluated in vitro against cytokine proteins TNF- α and IL - 1 β secreted from U937 cells. Some of the imidazolium salts exhibited promising anti-inflammatory activity against the TNF- α and IL - 1β with IC 50 values ranging between 5.3 μM - 7.5 μM, which are many folds lower than that of the parent compound (>100 μM). Most significantly, substitution with electronegative groups in imidazolium salts of usnic acid found to be more potent and exhibiting enhanced anti-inflammatory activity.

A novel nitrogen containing 4-[(2-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)methyleneamino]-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione ligand (H2L) was synthesized by using an equimolar ratio of 4-amino-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione and 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde. A series of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes was synthesized by using the ligand. The synthesized ligand and transition metal complexes were characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, Mass spectrometry, UV, XRD and TGA investigation methods. Spectral data suggests that the ligand acts as a tridentate SNO donor. Further, the synthesized H2L ligand and their metal complexes were screened for antimicrobial activity. The results of biological activities showed that the metal complexes have higher antifungal as well as antibacterial activity as compared to the parent H2L ligand against the tested microbes.

Water deficit stress is one of the main problems determining the yield of many crop plants. The study of the effects of salinity on plant growth and development and the search for biochemical stress markers are of great importance in the selection of resistant species. Accumulation and antioxidant activities in response to salinity at different sunflower varieties constitute markers for genetic selection and improvement of plants in the face of tolerance to salinity. Electrophoretic analysis of zymograms of different sunflower varieties grown in a saline environment for 40 days revealed zymograms of peroxidases and esterases specific to varieties tolerant to the saline environment. Peroxidases activity extracted from leaves is augmented in relation to their involvement in the physiological process related to salinity tolerance. In susceptible varieties, peroxidases activity is decreased compared to normal conditions. Variability of activity and polymorphism of isozyme peroxidases and esterases in response to salinity at different sunflower varieties constitute markers for genetic selection and plant improvement in the face of salinity tolerance.

Demand for biodiesel has increased over the years as a substitute to petrol and diesel due to its environmental-friendly nature and lower cost. Glycerol being major by-product of the process constitutes 10 wt.% of the products hence conversion of glycerol to value added products such as acetins in the plant reduces the production cost of biodiesel. The present work focuses on the transesterification reaction between glycerol and ethyl acetate over heterogeneous catalyst, Amberlyst-15(wet). The batch studies were carried out and the effect of reaction parameters such as reaction time (1-7 h), glycerol to ethyl acetate molar ratio (1:3-1:12), temperature (50-70 o C), catalyst loading (2-5 w/w%) have been studied. The maximum conversion of glycerol obtained at (G : EA) molar ratio 1:6, reaction temperature of 70 ˚C and 4 w/w% catalyst loading for 7 h was 97.71 % and the selectivity of mono-, di- and triacetins were 36.7, 60.7 and 2.51 %, respectively. This provides an eco-friendly and sustainable path for valorisation of biodiesel derived glycerol.

2,4-Dimethyl-N-aryl-3-furamides were synthesized by the reaction of 2,4-dimethyl-furan-3-carbonyl chloride with aromatic amines in dry dioxane in the presence of triethylamine. The structures of the obtained substances were confirmed by 1H NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The synthesized compounds were preselected via molecular docking to be tested for their anti-inflammatory activity. The anti-inflammatory effect of the prepared compounds was investigated applying the carrageenan-induced paw edema model. The results have shown that the some novel furamides demonstrated considerable anti-inflammatory effect.

Lithium rich compounds represent a promising cathode material of Li-ion accumulators due to their valuable electrochemical properties and represent cathode material of the next generation high-performance lithium-ion batteries.2,3 These compounds are of great interest mostly because of the high capacity exceeding 250 mAh g-1. However, a number of disadvantages, such as voltage drop caused by unwanted phase transformations during cycling, as well as low operational performances still limit their application. Improved cycling stability can be achieved by cathode materials doping (modification). Regarding costs and raw materials, Fe-Mn-based systems are economically attractive cathodes for LIB containing Fe as a cheap promising alternative to commercial LiCoO2 and LiMn2O4.
富锂化合物由于其宝贵的电化学性能,是锂离子蓄电池的一种很有前途的正极材料,也是下一代高性能锂离子电池的正极材料。2,3这些化合物之所以备受关注,主要是因为其高容量超过250 mAh g-1。然而,许多缺点,例如在循环过程中由不希望的相变引起的电压降,以及低的操作性能仍然限制了它们的应用。阴极材料的掺杂(改性)可以提高循环稳定性。关于成本和原材料,Fe-Mn基系统是含有Fe的LIB的经济上有吸引力的阴极,是商业LiCoO2和LiMn2O4的廉价、有前途的替代品。

Amaranthaceae family is one of the largest and most diverse in the plant kingdom. While some of the plants of this family have important nutritional value, others are considered toxic and/or hazardous weeds and many efforts have been made in controlling them. But both categories were used by humans for traditional medicinal purposes, and some of them were extensively studied by modern science. In this review article, we will present some ethnomedicinal uses of the plants of this family, along with comprehensive literature survey of medicinal, biological and other activities. Information will be presented in tables for the convenience of readers, and many structures of natural products are presented. The extensive discussion section will focus mainly (but not only) on studies of active compounds production. This review article is about plants of this family in general and in particular about Amaranthaceae plants of our region. Conclusions and future research recommendations are also presented.
