The aim of this study was to develop a green method to fabricate a novel CS modified N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)- methacrylamide conjugate (CSNHMA) and to evaluate its biomedical potential. CSNHMA has been prepared by a simple method via aza Michael addition reaction between CS and N- (4-hydroxyphenyl)-methacrylamide (NHMA) in ethanol. Its structural and morphological properties were characterized by various analysis techniques.

Photocatalyst-free visible-light-mediated reactions, based on the presence of a visible-light-absorbing functional group in the starting material itself in order to exclude the often costly, hazardous, degradable and difficult to remove or recover photoredox catalysts, have been gaining momentum recently. We have employed this approach to develop a denitrative photocatalyst-free visible-light-mediated protocol for the arylation/sulfonylation of β-nitrostyrenes employing arylazo sulfones (bench-stable photolabile compounds) in a switchable solvent-controlled manner. Arylazo sulfones served as the aryl and sulfonyl radical precursors under blue LED irradiation for the synthesis of trans-stilbenes and (E)-vinyl sulfones in CH3CN and dioxane/H2O 2 : 1, respectively.

Integration of oral health into primary health care holds the key to affordable and accessible health care as oral health is still a neglected component in many countries. This review aims to determine integration of oral health into primary health care and provide an evidence-based synthesis on a primary oral healthcare approach. Searches were conducted in various databases like Biomed Central, MEDLINE, Cochrane databases, NCBI (PubMed), Sci-Hub, Google Scholar, and WHO sites.

A methyl methacrylate (MMA) modified chitosan (CS) conjugate (CSMMA) has been synthesized by a green method via Michael addition reaction between CS and MMA in ethanol. The synthesized conjugate was characterized by FT-IR, H NMR, X-ray diffraction spectrometry and SEM analysis. The results confirmed that CS was covalently linked to MMA yielding a highly porous framework.
