A green ultrasound assisted convenient approach has been reported for the ring opening of epoxides. As a result, a series of N-phenyl piperazine and morpholine based β-amino alcohols has been synthesized under ultrasound irradiation in DMSO for 60 minutes at 70°C. This methodology showed excellent tolerance with various epoxides and provided excellent yields upto 96%. All the synthetic derivatives (4a-e) (5c-d) significantly influence the catalytic activity of protease while 5d exhibited maximum (100%) inhibitory effect with a half-life of 40.76 minutes. Among the target derivatives, compound 4c exhibited significant antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli bacterial strains with zone of inhibition values 45 mm and 32 mm, respectively.

Highly stereo- and enantioselective synthesis of δ-alkyl-substituted ()-homoallylic alcohols via asymmetric allylation is developed. In the presence of a chiral phosphoric acid catalyst, allylation of aldehydes with α-substituted allylboronates provides δ-alkyl-substituted homoallylic alcohols with excellent ()-selectivities and enantioselectivities.

Polyphenols, natural compounds abundant in phenolic structures, have received widespread attention due to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anticancer properties, making them valuable for biomedical applications. However, the green synthesis of polyphenol-based materials with economical and environmentally friendly strategies is of great significance. In this study, a multifunctional wound dressing was achieved by introducing polyphenol-based materials of copper phosphate-tannic acid with a flower-like structure (Cu-TA NFs), which show the reactive oxygen species scavenging performance.

Hydrogel-based sensors have been widely studied for perceiving the environment. However, the simplest type of resistive sensors still lacks sensitivity to localized strain and other extractable data. Enhancing their sensitivity and expanding their functionality to perceive multiple stimuli simultaneously are highly beneficial yet require optimal material design and proper testing methods.

Low engagement with HIV services persists among young men with harmful alcohol use in South Africa. We previously piloted a rural community-based HIV service delivery model to engage this key population. In the initial study, male nurses visited alcohol-serving venues to provide HIV testing and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) services.
