We have recently developed a one-pot process for simultaneous extraction and chemical modification (SECheM) on , a Mauritanian called locally "Izide". On the basis of this innovative methodology that consisted of using ground plant roots as starting material in gossypol Schiff base semisynthesis, we now report how this concept can be used to access enantiomerically pure Schiff base atropisomer derivatives of gossypol in only two steps. This study has been envisioned since enantiomerically pure Schiff base atropisomer derivatives of gossypol are generally more potent biologically when compared to racemic gossypol Schiff bases.

Background: Due to the divers biological applications of Cu(II) complexes, we in this study reports the various Cu(II) complexes. The study aims to synthesize and assess new Cu(II) complexes as powerful β-glucuronidase inhibitors.
Methods: Five Schiff base ligands and their complexes were synthesized, characterized, and screened against β-glucuronidase inhibitory activity.

This study developed the multifunctional cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) as emulsifier for preparation of antibacterial, ultrastable and non-toxic emulsion. To achieve these properties, CNFs were oxidated using sodium periodate to introduce aldehyde groups, which served as Schiff-base reaction sites for amino groups of polyhexamethylene guanidine (PHMG), yielding PHMG-grafted CNFs (PCNFs). The modified CNFs retained good emulsification ability while acquiring antibacterial properties.

Tumor microenvironment governs various therapeutic tolerability of cancer such as ferroptosis and immunotherapy through rewiring tumor metabolic reprogramming like Warburg metabolism. Highly expressed carbonic anhydrases (CA) in tumor that maintaining the delicate metabolic homeostasis is thus the most potential target to be modulated to resolve the therapeutic tolerability. Hence, in this article, a self-healable and pH-responsive spermidine/ferrous ion hydrogel loaded with CA inhibitor (acetazolamide, ACZ) and glucose oxidase (ACZ/GOx@SPM-HA Gel) was fabricated through the Schiff-base reaction between spermidine-dextran and oxidized hyaluronic acid, along with ferrous coordination.

The FeO@RF-ISB nanomaterial was prepared through the chemical immobilization of (3-aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane over the FeO@RF composite, followed by treatment with isatin. The FeO@RF-ISB was then reacted with FeCl·6HO to afford the FeO@RF-ISB/Fe nanocatalyst.
