In this study, waste tissue papers (WTP) and sugarcane bagasse (SCB) were utilized to prepare magnetic iron oxide (MIO)-incorporated WTP/MIO and SCB/MIO nanocomposite particles (NCPs) based on in situ co-precipitation methods, and they were characterized using advanced spectroscopic techniques. In addition, their anti-oxidant and drug-delivery properties were investigated.

PYT and some of its derivatives, including phytanic acid (PA), exert a wide range of biological effects. PYT is a valuable essential oil (EO) used as a fragrance and a potential candidate for a broad range of applications in the pharmaceutical and biotechnological industry.

The total synthesis of a reported natural product, 3'-hydroxymethylrocaglate (5), was achieved using [3 + 2] cycloaddition between 3-hydroxyflavone and methyl cinnamate. We also describe the synthesis of rocaglamide heterocycle derivatives and evaluate their Wnt signal inhibitory activities.
