The objective of this study was to develop pyrazolidine-3,5-dione derivatives with potential as environmentally friendly pesticides for pest control, specifically focusing on their efficacy as larvicidal agents. A novel one-pot synthesis of multicomponent pyrazolidine-3,5-dione derivatives (1a-m) was accomplished via the grindstone method using Cu(II)tyrosinase enzyme as a catalyst under mild reaction conditions, yielding 84%-96%. The synthesised derivatives (1a-m) were characterized using various spectroscopic methods (mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, FT-IR, and 1H and 13C NMR).

In this study, rifaximin with copper (Cu) and copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesised. The resultant CuO nanoparticles were used to degrade Rhodamine B (RhB) and Coomassie Brilliant Blue (G250). Rifaximin copper and copper oxide nanoparticles were characterised using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and gas chromatography-electrochemical mass spectrometry (GC-EI-MS).

Anthraquinones and coumarins have excellent pharmacological activities and are an important class of natural plant metabolites with various biological activities. In this study, anthraquinone-9,10-dione and coumarin derivatives were combined to develop a novel anthraquinone-connected coumarin-derivative sequence. The synthesised novel anthraquinone-connected coumarin derivatives () were screened for antibacterial, antioxidant, and tyrosinase inhibitory activities.

The grindstone process, which uses tyrosinase as a catalyst, was used to create analogues of geranylacetone. Tyrosinase was used to prepare the Mannich base under favourable reaction conditions, resulting in a high yield. All synthesized compounds were characterized using FTIR, Nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectral analyses.

In this study, we developed a novel pyrazolo[3,4-]pyrazole derivative with antibacterial and antifungal activities that shows great potential for treating infectious diseases. To evaluate the binding affinity of 1AJ0 and 1AI9 proteins for developing potent antibacterial and antifungal compounds, we used the () leaf extract as the capping and reducing agent and reacted it with FeO and Cu(OAc) solutions to synthesize the -FeO-CuO nanocatalyst. The newly synthesized compounds were confirmed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, UV-visible spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction analyses.

In addition to the physical barrier, the epidermis acts as a natural barrier against microbial proliferation. It is prone to bacterial infections on the skin and in the nose, such as Staphylococcus aureus, as well as a variety of other skin illnesses. Green nanomaterial production, which eliminates the use of harmful chemicals while simultaneously reducing time, is gaining popularity in the nanotechnology area.

In this work, we synthesize the sulfonated Schiff bases of the chitosan derivatives 2a-2j without the use of a catalyst in two moderately straightforward steps with good yield within a short reaction time. The morphology and chemical structure of chitosan derivatives were investigated using FT-IR, NMR (H-C), XRD, and SEM. Furthermore, our chitosan derivatives were tested for their anticancer activity against the MCF-7 cancer cell line, and doxorubicin was used as a standard.

The synthesis of nanoparticles is most important in the context of cancer therapy, particularly copper nanoparticles, which are widely used. In this work, copper(II)-tyrosinase was isolated from potato peel powder. Copper nanoparticles (Tyr-Cu(II)-AEEA NPs) were synthesized via the reaction of tyrosinase with -aminoethylethanolamine to produce Cu(II)-NPs and these were characterized by means of FT-IR, UV-Spectroscopy, XRD, SEM, TEM and a particle size analyzer.
