This study leverages and upgrades the capabilities of computer-aided retrosynthesis (CAR) in the systematic development of greener and more efficient total synthetic routes for the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) IM-204, a helicase-primase inhibitor that demonstrated enhanced efficacy against Herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections. Using various CAR tools, several total synthetic routes were uncovered, evaluated, and experimentally validated, with the goal to maximize selectivity and yield and minimize the environmental impact. The CAR tools revealed several synthetic options under different constraints, which can overperform the patented synthetic route used as a reference.

Enhancing road performance and sustainability: A study on recycled porous warm mix asphalt.

Sci Total Environ

January 2025

Department of Civil, Chemical, Environmental and Materials Engineering, University of Bologna, Via U. Terracini 28, 40131 Bologna, BO, Italy.

The growing demand for sustainable infrastructure has increased interest in eco-friendly design solutions such as porous asphalt (PA) pavements, which manage stormwater runoff and mitigate urban heat islands, and warm mix asphalt (WMA), which reduces energy consumption and emissions during production. This study evaluates the mechanical and environmental performance of four warm mix porous asphalt (WPA) mixtures incorporating recycled materials and by-products: reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), aramid pulp fibres, and electric arc furnace (EAF) steel slag. A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) with a cradle-to-cradle approach was conducted to comprehensively assess environmental impacts.

In recent years, the search for more sustainable fillers for elastomeric composites than silica and carbon black has been underway. In this work, silanized starch was used as an innovative filler for elastomeric composites. Corn starch was chemically modified by silanization (with n-octadecyltrimethoxysilane) via a condensation reaction to produce a hydrophobic starch.

The quest for cleaner and sustainable energy sources is crucial, considering the current scenario of a steep rise in energy consumption and the fuel crisis, exacerbated by diminishing fossil fuel reserves and rising pollutants. In particular, the bioaccumulation of hazardous substances like trivalent chromium has not only disrupted the fragile equilibrium of the ecological system but also poses significant health hazards to humans. Microalgae emerged as a promising solution for achieving sustainability due to their ability to remediate contaminants and produce greener alternatives such as biofuels.
