Article Synopsis
- Researchers synthesized imidazolium and ammonium-based folate salts to create targeted chemotherapeutic agents and studied their behavior using UV-vis and fluorescence techniques.
- They analyzed the gelation properties of the salts in biocompatible solvents and used various methods (like dynamic light scattering and ATR-FTIR) to investigate the structure and interactions within the gel.
- The antiproliferative effectiveness of these salts was tested on different breast cancer cell lines and normal cells, revealing that the salts maintained their biological activity when trapped in a gel, with effectiveness varying by cell type and salt structure.
Ionic liquids (ILs) are a class of non-conventional solvents, which, for almost two decades, have continued to generate burgeoning interest in different fields of present-day chemical research with few similar precedents. Among the various aspects related to ILs, a topic worthy of in-depth analysis is their influence on organic reactivity and reaction rates. In light of this, the present short review aims to provide an overview of the literature from 2010 to the present day that addresses this issue.

To overcome the above issue, natural antioxidants (AOs) can be added during manufacturing. Considering the high instability of AOs, they have been adsorbed on carbon nanomaterials surface.
