Biomass-Derived Activated Carbon-Supported Copper Catalyst: An Efficient Heterogeneous Magnetic Catalyst for Base-Free Chan-Lam Coupling and Oxidations.

Development of heterogeneous catalysts from biomass-derived activated carbon is a challenging task. Biomass-derived activated carbon possesses a large specific surface area, highly porous structure, and good thermal/chemical stability. Magnetic copper catalysts based on biomass-derived activated carbon exhibited good catalytic activity in base-free Chan-Lam coupling and oxidations.

Modified graphene supported Ag-Cu NPs with enhanced bimetallic synergistic effect in oxidation and Chan-Lam coupling reactions.

Herein, well dispersed Ag-Cu NPs supported on modified graphene have been synthesized a facile and rapid approach using sodium borohydride as a reducing agent under ambient conditions. Dicyandiamide is selected as an effective nitrogen source with TiO as an inorganic material to form two kinds of supports, labelled as TiO-NGO and NTiO-GO. Initially, the surface area analysis of these two support materials was carried out which indicated that N-doping of GO followed by anchoring with TiO has produced support material of larger surface area.

Self-assembly of silver nanoparticles through functionalization with coumarin-thiazole fused-ring thiol.

Self-assembly of nanoscale building blocks plays a critical role for the edifice of functional nanomaterials. In this work coumarin based fused-ring heterocyclic thiol functionalized silver nanoparticle exhibiting large self-assembly is reported. The particles spontaneously self-organise towards the formation of larger superstructures, yet still retaining their individual particle morphology (~10nm).

Recent studies have revealed the anticancer potential of this plant but not much work has been done on the anticancer chemical constituents actually responsible for its amazing anticancer effects. This prompted us to investigate this plant further for new potent anticancer molecules.

Simultaneous quantification of triterpenoic acids by high performance liquid chromatography method in the extracts of gum resin of Boswellia serrata obtained by different extraction techniques.

Background: Boswellia serrata, also known as Indian frankincense is a commercially important medicinal plant which has been used for hundreds of years as an Ayurvedic medicine for the attempted treatment of arthritis. It contains naturally occurring triterpenoic acids, called as boswellic acids (BA's).

Results: A highly reproducible High performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet diode array detection (HPLC-UV-DAD) method was developed for the simultaneous determination and quantitative analysis of eight major triterpenoic acids in Boswellia serrata gum resin obtained by different extraction techniques.

Computational analysis of the activity of pongachalcone I against highly resistant bacteria Pseudomonas putida.

TtgR is a multi-drug binding protein in the gram negative bacteria Pseudomonas putida (DOT-T1E strain) and regulates one of the key mechanisms of its antibiotic resistance by active extrusion of toxic compounds through the membrane-bound efflux pumps. The paper reports the molecular docking studies of Pongachalcone I, a natural pyranochalcone and reported potent inhibitor of the bacteria, on the transcriptional regulator (TtgR) enzyme (PDB Code: 2UXI) which is a key efflux pump TtgABC operon repressor. Although the bacterium is capable to expel antibiotics like Chloramphenicol, Tetracycline and Naringenin, yet Pongachalcone I has potent activity against it.
