Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analyses, crystal voids, inter-molecular inter-action energies and energy frameworks of 3-benzyl-1-(3-bromoprop-yl)-5,5-di-phenyl-imidazolidine-2,4-dione.

The title mol-ecule, CHBrNO, adopts a cup shaped conformation with the distinctly ruffled imidazolidine ring as the base. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C-H⋯π(ring) inter-actions form helical chains of mol-ecules extending along the -axis direction that are linked by additional weak C-H⋯π(ring) inter-actions across inversion centres. The Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (51.

A Sustainable Solution for the Adsorption of C.I. Direct Black 80, an Azoic Textile Dye with Plant Stems: in an Aqueous Solution.

The presence of pollutants in water sources, particularly dyes coming by way of the textile industry, represents a major challenge with far-reaching environmental consequences, including increased scarcity. This phenomenon endangers the health of living organisms and the natural system. Numerous biosorbents have been utilized for the removal of dyes from the textile industry.

Chemical Composition and Geographic Variation of Cold Pressed Kernel Oil.

With the increasing impacts of climate change, establishing more sustainable and robust plants such as desert dates () seems to be necessary. Known for its resilience in arid conditions, this tree has the potential to become a more important food source, particularly for its potential to yield edible oil. This study characterized kernel oil (BKO) as a promising oil source in arid regions, studying the influence of geographical origin and environmental factors.

Crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis, calculations of crystal voids, inter-action energy and energy frameworks as well as density functional theory (DFT) calculations of 3-[2-(morpholin-4-yl)eth-yl]-5,5-di-phenyl-imidazolidine-2,4-dione.

In the title mol-ecule, CHNO, the imidazolidine ring slightly deviates from planarity and the morpholine ring exhibits the chair conformation. In the crystal, N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds form helical chains of mol-ecules extending parallel to the axis that are connected by C-H⋯π(ring) inter-actions. A Hirshfeld surface analysis reveals that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (55.

Crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis, inter-molecular inter-action energies, energy frameworks and DFT calculations of 4-amino-1-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)pyrimidin-2(1)-one.

In the title mol-ecule, CHNO, the pyrimidine ring is essentially planar, with the propynyl group rotated out of this plane by 15.31 (4)°. In the crystal, a tri-periodic network is formed by N-H⋯O, N-H⋯N and C-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding and slipped π-π stacking inter-actions, leading to narrow channels extending parallel to the axis.

Exploring the wound-healing and antimicrobial potential of Dittrichia viscosa L lipidic extract: Chemical composition and in vivo evaluation.

Dittrichia viscosa belongs to the Dittrichia genus, it grows abundantly in the east and northeast of Morocco, and traditionally its fresh leaves are crushed and given for topical application after burns, wounds, and infections. In this study, we examine the wound-healing activity of Dittrichia viscosa lipidic extract in vivo, assess its anti-microbial effect, and explore the specific compounds that contribute to these effects. To assess the effectiveness of wound healing, a burn-induced wound model was employed in Wistar rats, and the levels of hydroxyproline as well as histopathological changes in the skin tissues were evaluated.

Chemical changes in extra virgin argan oil after thermal treatment.

Physicochemical parameters, measured every 6 hours, of extra virgin argan oil heated for 24 h at 180 degrees C were investigated and compared with those of five other edible oils treated in the same thermoxidative condition. Argan oil was found to be particularly stable at high temperature, its level of polar compounds remaining low even after 24 h of heating.

Can fruit-form be a marker for argan oil production?

Deforestation is an important matter for the argan forest whose preservation necessitates planting trees. Macroscopic parameters are urgently needed to identify trees presenting good potential as oil producers. This study demonstrates that argan oil produced from kernels of apiculate fruit is richer in d-tocopherol, whereas oil produced from spherical fruit is richer in linoleic acid, and that produced from fusiform fruit is richer in oleic acid.

Long argan fruit drying time is detrimental for argan oil quality.

Argan oil is extracted from the kernels of argan fruits that have been sun-dried for either a few days or up to several weeks. The influence of the fruit drying time on the quantity, quality, and preservation of solvent-extracted argan oil was compared with press-extracted argan oil. Quantitatively, the time necessary for efficient fruit peeling and the amount of extracted oil were determined with regard to the fruit drying time (0 to 28 days).
