Photocatalytic Degradation of Naproxen: Intermediates and Total Reaction Mechanism.

Photochemical and photocatalytic oxidation of naproxen (NPX) with UV-A light and commercial TiO under constant flow of oxygen have been investigated. Adsorption experiments indicated that 90% of the solute remained in the solution. Combined chemical analysis of samples on the photochemical degradation indicated that NPX in an aqueous solution (20 ppm) is efficiently transformed into other species but only 18% of the reactant is mineralized into CO and water after three hours of reaction.

Synthesis of Novel Fluoro Phenyl Triazoles Click Chemistry with or without Microwave Irradiation and their Evaluation as Anti-proliferative Agents in SiHa Cells.

Aims: Perform the synthesis of novel fluoro phenyl triazoles click chemistry with or without microwave irradiation and their evaluation as anti-proliferative agents in SiHa cells.

Background: Triazoles are heterocyclic compounds containing a five-member ring with two carbon and three nitrogen atoms. They are of great importance since many of them have shown to have biological activity as antifungal, antiviral, antibacterial, anti-HIV, anti-tuberculosis, vasodilator, and anticancer agents.
