Exploring Punicalagin Potential Against Cancers: A Comprehensive Review.

Punicalagin, being a bioactive polyphenol, has gained significant interest owing to its potential anticancer effects. Researchers are studying punicalagin to determine its ability to inhibit cancer cell proliferation. This paper focuses on highlighting the therapeutic potential of punicalagin against tumors and cancers.

Computational study on catalyst-free BCl-promoted chloroboration of carbonyl compounds.

DFT calculations were performed to investigate the possible reaction mechanisms underlying catalyst-free chloroboration reactions of carbonyl compounds with BCl. The interaction between BCl and the C[double bond, length as m-dash]O moiety of carbonyl compounds is a two-step reaction. In the first step, B of BCl forms a bond with the O of the C[double bond, length as m-dash]O moiety, followed by the 1,3-Cl migration process from BCl to the C of the carbonyl group.

Breeding biology of Great White Pelican at Lake Tana, Ethiopia.

Great White Pelicans, once thriving at Lake Shala, have faced a decline in breeding pairs at Lake Abijata due to increased salinity and overfishing. A study at Lake Tana Biosphere, from December 2020 to December 2021, aimed to understand their breeding biology, which had not been previously documented. We conducted intensive searches for nests and monitored them during incubation and post-hatching to assess reproductive success.
