Novel chalcone-based crown ethers: synthesis, characterization, antioxidant activity, biological evaluations, and wastewater remediation.

Macrocycles play a pivotal and indispensable role within the realms of both medicine and industry. In the course of our research endeavors, we have successfully synthesized five distinct macrocyclic chalcone entities, each showcasing remarkable biological and anti-oxidative properties. Furthermore, these compounds exhibit exceptional promise as potent agents for the removal of dyes in wastewater treatment processes.

Synthesis, characterization, antioxidant power and acute toxicity of some new azo-benzamide and azo-imidazolone derivatives with in vivo and in vitro antimicrobial evaluation.

In this research paper, a stepwise chemical reaction was conducted to synthesize and develop of a new potent azo-oxazolone, which was used as prototypical molecule for production of two series of azo-benzimide (5a-j) and azo-imidazolone (6a-j). FT-IR, H NMR, C NMR and CHN analysis were used for the structural elucidation. The high biological efficiency of newly obtained compounds was confirmed by in vitro antioxidant efficacy and in vitro antimicrobial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria via disc diffusion and tube dilution techniques.
