This paper describes a flexible strategy to access diethyl ((((-(2-chloroethyl)--nitrososulfamoyl)amino)arylmethyl) phosphonates, as aryl analogues of fotemustine. The new aryl sulfamidophosphonates prepared from 2-chloroethylamine were successfully obtained under eco-environmental conditions using ultrasound irradiation. These compounds did not produce the expected nitroso analogues of fotemustine after the nitrosation reaction but the corresponding sulfamates which were fully characterized.

Traditional chemical synthesis, which involves the use of dangerous protocols, hazardous solvents, and toxic products and catalysts, is considered environmentally inappropriate and harmful to human health. Bearing in mind its numerous drawbacks, it has become crucial to substitute conventional chemistry with green chemistry which is safer, more ecofriendly and more effective in terms of time and selectivity. Elaborating synthetic protocols producing interesting new compounds using both microwave heating and heterogeneous non-toxic catalysts is acknowledged as a green approach that avoids many classical chemistry-related problems.

A series of new heteroleptic oxovanadium(IV) complexes with the general formula [VOL(Dcf)] (), where L = thiosemicarbazone (TSC)-based ligands and Dcf = diclofenac have been synthesized and characterized. The spectral studies along with the density functional theory calculations evidenced the distorted square-pyramidal geometry around oxovanadium(IV) ion through imine nitrogen and thione sulfur atoms of TSC moiety, and two asymmetric carboxylate oxygen atoms of diclofenac drug. The complexes were evaluated for antioxidant activity using 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), hydrogen peroxide (HO) and superoxide radical scavenging assays with respect to the standard antioxidant drugs butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and rutin.

Ultrasonic systems must be able to produce an acoustic field with the highest possible energy concentration in sonochemical reactors to accomplish maximum efficacy in the sonolytic degradation of water contaminants. In the present study, the impact of cylindrical and conical stainless-steel reflectors placed on the liquid surface on the sonochemical oxidation activity of ultrasonication reactors was investigated. The amount of effective acoustic power transferred to the ultrasonicated medium without and with reflectors was measured by calorimetric characterization of the sono-reactors at diverse ultrasonication frequencies in the interval of 300-800 kHz and different electrical powers in the range of 40-120 W.

Introduction: Haemophilia B is a debilitating hereditary coagulation disorder characterized by prolonged or spontaneous episodes of bleeding caused by a deficiency of endogenous factor IX. In Algeria, even though many studies are being carried out to evaluate the prevalence and management of haemophilia B, there is a paucity of locally published literature that can be used to understand the most recent information on the disease's epidemiology, diagnostic techniques and treatment options.

Aims: The aim of this manuscript is to raise awareness among patients and family clinicians about current practices, recent developments and unmet needs related to haemophilia B in Algeria.
