Bio-plastics are biodegradable materials that can be obtained from renewable sources such as corn starch, straw, vegetable fats and oils, wood chips, recycled food waste, sawdust, etc. They can be used as an alternative to the commercial plastics in the market which contaminates our environment. Nowadays bio-plastics are worldwide popular due to their concern towards the environment, limited fossil fuel resources, and climatic change. The purpose of this study is to assess the properties of the starch-based bio-plastics prepared from Amorphophallus paeonifolius and Manihot esculenta using glycerol and agar-agar as the plasticizers. The synthesized bio-plastic was characterized with the help of UV-Visible spectrophotometer, FT-IR spectroscopy, and SEM Analysis. Finally, it is concluded that the bioplastic based on Manihot esculenta and Amorphophallus paeonifolius could be established as a favorable ecological alternative to be used as a developed medical material and the bio-plastic can also be used in packaging, cosmetics, food additives and clothing due to its good properties of resistance and favorable biodegradation.

Acetazolamide and Methazolamide are well known 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives exhibiting diuretic activity. Therefore, some newer 2,5-disubstituted-1,3,4-thiadiazoles were prepared and screened for diuretic activity. A few of the compounds namely IVa1, IVb2 and IVc2 showed good diuretic activity comparable with the standard drug acetazolamide. Properties of the synthesized compounds were calculated by using the software Osiris property explorer (peo). Morphilino analogs (IVa3 – IVd3) showed higher Druglikeness and Drug Score as compared to other analogs. Among morphilino analogs IVa3 is the most active compound therefore selected for bioisosteric approach for newer analog design using molopt software.

Aqua pollution is one of the major global threats. Untreated industrial effluent discharged into ecosystems pose a serious problem to the aqua living organism, plants and human beings. Among pollution causing Industries, textile industry accomplish a major attention by environmentalists due to consumption of large volume of water, dyes and chemicals for various processing of textiles. Textile effluents contain carcinogenic aromatic amines, dyes, organic and inorganic materials.Azo, anthro quinone and triphenyl methane dyes are the major classes of synthetic colorants, which are difficult to degrade and have received considerable attention. Nevertheless, during the last few years it has been demonstrated that several fungi, under certain environmental conditions, are able to transfer azo dyes to non toxic products. Removal of colored compounds from textile industry effluents by physic co - chemical and biological methods is currently available.

In this present work base catalyzed method used for formation of Chalcone of (E)-4-(3-(4-hydroxyphenyl) acryloyl)-5-methyl-2(p-tolyl)-1H-pyrazol-3(2H)-one (II) reacted with derivatives of S-benzo [d] thiol-2yl-2-chloroethanethioate (Ia-f) resulted in formation of corresponding derivatives of (E)-S-benzo [d] thiazol-2-yl 2-(4-(3-(5-methyl-3oxo-2(p-tolyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-3-oxoprop-1-en-1-yl) phenoxy) etanethioate (IIIa-f) was confirmed by spectral characterization such as IR, 1H NMR, LC-MS and elemental analysis. The compounds were screened for their antimicrobial properties against a broad panel Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as well as fungi.
