The conversion of lignin into bioactive compounds through selective organic synthesis methods represents a promising frontier in the pursuit of sustainable raw materials and green chemistry. This review explores the versatility of lignin-derived bioactive compounds, ranging from their application in drug discovery to their role in the development of biodegradable materials. Despite notable advancements, the synthesis routes and yields of highly bioactive molecules from lignin still require further exploration and improvement.

- * The research highlights that the addition of curcumin not only serves as a drug but also enhances the material's hydrophilicity, leading to improved swelling and water interaction properties due to hydrogen bonding among components.
- * Drug-release tests showed a cumulative release of approximately 60% and 78% for two curcumin compositions, and in-vitro studies indicated that these scaffolds promote better cell proliferation and actin expression in fibroblasts, which is beneficial for wound healing
Development of polyurethane foam (PUF) containing bio-based components is a complex process that requires extensive studies. This work reports on the production of rigid PUFs from polyol obtained via liquefaction of oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) biomass with different isocyanate (NCO) indexes. The effect of the NCO index on the physical, chemical and compressive properties of the liquefied EFB-based PUF (EFBPUF) was evaluated.
