Article Synopsis
- The synthesized amphyphylic triazoanilines (1 and 2) have photophysical properties suitable for creating fluorescent biomarkers, which can be used in biodiesel quality control.
- Research assessed the toxic effects of these compounds in various biological models, including Daphnia similis, Oreochromis niloticus, and Aedes aegypti larvae, revealing low acute toxicity at certain concentrations.
- The use of cardanol and glycerol as starting materials promotes environmental health and aligns with green chemistry principles, suggesting the compounds can safely monitor biodiesel quality even with potential environmental exposure.
Currently, one of the major global public health concerns is related to the transmission of dengue/yellow fever virus by the vector Aedes aegypti. The most abundant digestive enzymes in Ae. aegypti midgut larvae are trypsin and chymotrypsin.
