ABSTRACT

Cancer nanomedicine has the potential to take advantage of the multifunctionality and diverse biological activity of nanostructures based on biomolecules. Novel drug delivery vehicles can be designed by programming the supramolecular features of biomolecules to achieve multiple therapeutic goals at once, including efficient in vivo transport and targeted drug administration. Proteins, peptides, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides can all be engineered into multipurpose nanomedicines. Even while numerous cancer medications reduce mortality, they are still insufficient. Early cancer cell detection and high-specificity therapeutic administration optimise treatment and prevent toxicity. Nanotechnology is improving cancer diagnosis and treatment due to increased systemic toxicity and refractoriness with current methods. Nanotechnology-based immunotherapeutic drugs have reduced cancer cell invasiveness while protecting healthy cells in several cancer types. Carbon nanotubes, polymeric micelles, and liposomes improve cancer medication pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Nanomedicines' use in patient care and promising nanotechnology-based cancer interventions have been covered in this article. Nanomaterials used in treating cancer have been discussed. Additionally, nanomaterial obstacles that hinder their applicability and clinical translation in certain cancer types are addressed.

ABSTRACT

Organic solvents are hazardous and should be replaced with less harmful alternatives. When developing a new formulation for a medicine with low aqueous solubility, improving its solubility might be a significant difficulty. According to the mixed solvency concept, a novel concept of solubilization, the solubility of poorly soluble drugs can be increased by dissolving them in a concentrated solution comprising various substances. Methods commonly used to improve solubility include complexation, pH modification, salt formation, hydrotropy, cosolvency, and micelle solubilization. By reducing the concentration of specific solubilizers, this method can be used to reduce the toxicity of solubilizers in various formulations of poorly soluble medicines. This review aims to provide scientists with a fresh concept for enhancing medication solubility. The benefits and drawbacks of currently available green solvents have been analyzed as potential replacements for traditional solvents. Some examples of these solvents are bio-based solvents like ethanol, methanol, and cyrene; d-limonene; deep eutectic solvents such as ionic liquids and natural deep eutectic solvents; supercritical fluids; subcritical water; surfactant-based solutions like hydrotopes and supramolecular solvents; and deep eutectic solvents like cyrene.

ABSTRACT

The photocatalytic oxidation and generation/regeneration of amines to imines and leucodopaminechrome (LDC)/NADH are subjects of intense interest in contemporary research. Imines serve as crucial intermediates for the synthesis of solar fuels, fine chemicals, agricultural chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. While significant progress has been made in developing efficient processes for the oxidation and generation/regeneration of secondary amines, the oxidation of primary amines has received comparatively less attention until recently. This discrepancy can be attributed to the high reactivity of imines generated from primary amines, which are prone to dehydrogenation into nitriles. In this study, we present the synthesis and characterization of a novel polymer-based photocatalyst, denoted as PMMA-DNH, designed for solar light-harvesting applications. PMMA-DNH incorporates the light-harvesting molecule dinitrophenyl hydrazine (DNH) at varying concentrations (5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%). Leveraging its high molar extinction coefficient and slow charge recombination, the 30% DNH-incorporated PMMA photocatalyst proves to be particularly efficient. This photocatalytic system demonstrates exceptional yields (96.5%) in imine production and high generation/regeneration rates for LDC/NADH (65.27%/78.77%). The research presented herein emphasizes the development and application of a newly engineered polymer-based photocatalyst, which holds significant promise for direct solar-assisted chemical synthesis in diverse commercial applications.

ABSTRACT

In present times covid-19 is spreading and is showing very destructive effects. It does not only affected the physical health but mental health as well as the economy of the major affected countries. Corona viruses are group of related RNA viruses. The first case of this virus was observed in China and then this virus got spread in the many countries and different strategies were made to stop the spread of this virus. Since no particular vaccine was available to cure this so different strategies were made. Due to the emergence of pandemic diseases, drug development and control strategies have been re-examined. One of the most important factors that scientists have to consider is the effectiveness of their drugs. This virus causes the respiratory tract infections which can range from mild to lethal. COVID-19 is a major cause of death in advanced countries. It is due to the absence of any particular vaccine that can effectively treat this condition. So in this review we will discuss about the therapeutic approaches followed to combat this deadly virus. Ayurveda, nitric oxide, nanoparticles and enzymes played a very important role in boosting the immunity and treatment of corona. Many herbs and some tips of using a combination of herbs proved to be very efficient while facing problems in breathing. Giving the dose of nitric oxide at some particular level and chloroquine the drug showed the antiviral activity against the virus. Developing methods to identify and contain COVID-19 is essential to successfully manage the virus. Various strains of the SARS-COV-2 were detected and were found more dangerous. The therapeutic approaches followed actually were efficient and can be used to combat the other variants also. This review focuses on the latest developments in the field of therapeutics and the strategies which were followed before any vaccine.

ABSTRACT

The chemistry of the host-guest complex formation has received much attention as a highly efficient approach for use to develop economical adsorbents for water purification. In the present study, the synthesis of three ß-cyclodextrin (ß-CD) inclusion complexes with the oil orange SS (OOSS) azo dye as a guest molecule and their potential applications in water purification are described. The complexes were synthesized by the coprecipitation method and characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). FTIR and thermal analyses confirmed the encapsulation of OOSS dye within the hydrophobic cavity of ß-CD. The encapsulation of hydrophobic dye inside the ß-CD cavity was mainly due to the hydrophobic-hydrophobic interaction. The results showed that the stability of the OOSS dye had been improved after the complexation. The effect of three different compositions of the host-guest complexes was analyzed. The present study demonstrated that the hydrophobic dye could be removed from aqueous solution via inclusion complex formation. Thus, it can play a significant role in removing the highly toxic OOSS dye from the industrial effluent.

ABSTRACT

The coordination-driven self-assemblies of mixed-ligand dialkyltin derivatives, [(Et(2)Sn)(4) (O(2)P(OH)Me)(2)(O(3)PMe)(2)(OSO(2)Et)(2) x 2 H(2)O](n) 1, [(Et(2)Sn)(3)(O(3)PMe)(2)(OSO(2)Me)(2) x CHCl(3)](n) 2, and [(Me(2)Sn)(3)(O(3)PBu(t))(2)(OSO(2)Me)(2) x 2 CHCl(3)](n) 3 have been achieved by reacting the tin precursors, [R(2)Sn(OR(1))(OSO(2)R(1))](n) (R = Et, R(1) = Et (1a), Me (2a); R = Me, R(1) = Me (3a)) with an equimolar amount of methylphosphonic/t-butylphosphonic acid under mild conditions (rt, 8 h, CH(2)Cl(2)). These have been characterized by IR and multinuclear ((1)H, (13)C, (31)P, and (119)Sn) NMR spectroscopy as well as single crystal X-ray diffraction. The asymmetric unit of 1 is composed of a tetranuclear, Sn(4)(mu(2)-PO(2))(2)(mu(3)-PO(3))(2) core bearing an appended ethanesulfonate group on each terminal tin (Sn2) atom and two P(OH)...O hydrogen bonded water molecules. The ladder-like structural motif thus formed is extended into one-dimensional polymeric chains by virtue of bridging bidentate mode of the sulfonate groups. These chains are linked by O-H...O(S) hydrogen bonds involving H(2)O molecules and oxygen atoms of the sulfonate groups. The asymmetric units of 2 and 3 are composed of trinuclear tin clusters with a Sn(3)(mu(3)-PO(3))(2) core and two dangling methanesulfonate groups which are covalently bonded to the tin centers. The construction of three-dimensional self-assemblies is effected by variable bonding modes (mu(2), mu(3) in 2; mu(2) in 3) of the methanesulfonate groups. Both the structural motifs possess five- and six-coordinated tin atoms and form rectangular channels which are occupied by CHCl(3) molecules.

ABSTRACT

Mixed-ligand diorganotin esters, [R 2Sn(OP(O)(OH)Ph)(OS(O) 2R (1))] n [R = n-Bu, R (1) = Me ( 1), n-Pr ( 2); R = Et, R (1) = Me ( 3)], have been synthesized by reacting the tin precursors, R 2Sn(OR (1))OS(O) 2R with an equimolar amount of phenylphosphonic acid under mild conditions (room temperature, 6-8 h, CH 2Cl 2). These have been characterized by IR, multinuclear ( (1)H, (13)C{ (1)H}, (31)P, and (119)Sn) NMR, and single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The asymmetric unit of 1 is comprised of a tetramer with four crystallographically unique tin atoms. The structure reveals a central eight-membered (Sn-O-S-O) 2 cyclic ring with two exocyclic tin atoms, which results from micro 3-binding of the two methanesulfonate groups. The remaining two sulfonates are monodentate and contribute in O...HO(P) hydrogen bonding. The molecular structure is extended into a 3D coordination polymer with the aid of hydrogenphenylphosphonate group on each tin atom, acting in a micro 2-O 2P mode and forms a series of eight-membered (Sn-O-P-O) 2 rings in the structural framework. 2 and 3 are isostructural and represent linear 1D coordination polymers via micro 2-binding mode of both alkanesulfonate and hydrogenphenylphosphonate groups.

ABSTRACT

A one-pot reaction between di-n-propyl/di-n-butyltin oxide, dialkyl sulfite, and triethylamine or tetra-n-alkylammonium iodide proceeds under ambient conditions (110-120 degrees C, 20 h) via sulfur-centered Arbuzov rearrangement to afford the corresponding dianionic tetraalkanesulfonato diorganostannates [R2Sn(OSO2Me)4].2Et3NMe [R = n-Pr (1), n-Bu (2)] as well as [n-Bu(2)Sn(OSO(2)R(1))(4)].(2)R(2)(4)N [R(1) = Me, Et, n-Pr; R(2) = Et (3, 5, and 7), n-Bu (4, 6, and 8)]. X-ray crystal structures of 2 and 3 reveal a monomeric motif of the dianion, with methanesulfonate groups acting as unidentate ligands. The (119)Sn NMR spectral studies suggest the existence of pentacoordinated tin species in solution.
