Article Synopsis
- A new type of porous polymer network was created by combining two rigid monomers with two electron-withdrawing ketones in superacidic conditions.
- These microporous materials exhibit moderate surface areas (580 to 790 m²/g) and high thermal stability, particularly with isatin showing significant microporosity.
- They effectively absorb carbon monoxide (up to 207 mg/g at 0 °C/1 bar) and can be easily regenerated, making them potential candidates for industrial applications as adsorbents.
Article Synopsis
- A new class of melatonin-N,N-dibenzyl(N-methyl)amine hybrids has been developed, showcasing significant neurogenic, antioxidant, cholinergic, and neuroprotective benefits at low concentrations.
- These compounds help neural stem cells mature into neurons, which could aid in repairing the central nervous system (CNS).
- They demonstrate protection against mitochondrial oxidative stress, inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and have potential for Alzheimer's disease therapies due to low toxicity and ability to penetrate the CNS.
