Article Synopsis
  • Atractylis aristata, a plant endemic to the Ahaggar region in Algeria, is traditionally used to treat inflammation, fever, and stomach issues.
  • The study aimed to identify the bioactive and phytochemical components of Atractylis aristata and analyze its various properties, including antioxidant, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, acute toxicity, and sedative effects.
  • The results indicated that Atractylis aristata exhibited significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, with no acute toxicity observed at tested doses.

Non-covalent interactions between halopyridine substrates and catalytically inert building blocks, namely zinc(II)-porphyrins and zinc(II)-salphens, influence the catalytic outcome of Suzuki-Miyaura and Mizoroki-Heck palladium-catalysed cross-coupling reactions. The weak Zn⋅⋅⋅N interactions between halopyridine substrates and zinc(II)-containing porphyrins and salphens, respectively, were studied by a combination of H NMR spectroscopy, UV/Vis studies, Job-Plot analysis and, in some cases, X-ray diffraction studies. Additionally, the former studies revealed unique supramolecular polymeric and dimeric rearrangements in the solid state featuring weak Br⋅⋅⋅N (halogen bonding), C-H⋅⋅⋅π, Br⋅⋅⋅π and π⋅⋅⋅π interactions.
