The concept of molecular simplification as a drug design strategy to shorten synthetic routes, while keeping or enhancing the biological activity of the lead drug, has been applied to (+)-muconin, an acetogenin with remarkable cytotoxicity. A novel approach that enables the stereoselective synthesis of such a natural compound or its enantiomer from a common precursor is described. An additional...

Recently, utilization of renewable resources to replace petroleum as a primary feedstock for liquid fuels, chemicals and materials has become a topic of interest around the world. It is intriguing due to rising oil prices, the negative effects of petroleum on the environment and the advantages of renewable resources, such as their abundance and sustainability. Herein, the possibilities for biob...

Eosin B, a common laboratory dye has been earlier reported to have good anti protozoan properties in vitro. We studied this drug for its effect on a murine malaria strain, Plasmodium berghei (Pb) in vivo using different tests. Full suppressive 4 days Peter’s Test was used in infected outbred and inbred mice, using both ip and oral routes. Secondary biological assessment was carried out using do...

Dynamic Route Guidance System, which can provide the drivers with the optimal routes, is one of the most efficient solutions to the traffic jam. This paper presents a bee inspired zonal vehicle routing algorithm to provide a reasonable and effective optimal route for the Dynamic Route Guidance System. Firstly, the proposed algorithm divided the whole traffic network into different traffic guida...

Implanted biological sensors are a special class of wireless sensor networks that are used in-vivo for various medical applications. One of the major challenges of continuous in-vivo sensing is the heat generated by the implanted sensors due to communication radiation and circuitry power consumption. This paper addresses the issues of routing in implanted sensor networks. We propose a thermal-a...

an efficient synthesis of trialkyl (e)-3-(3-oxo-2-3,4-dihydro-2-(1h)-quinoxalinylidene)-prop-1-ene-1,2,3-tricarboxylate derivatives via a simple three-component reaction between benzene-1,2-diamines with dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates in the presence of k2co3-peg catalytic system at 100 oc was reported. the desired products were obtained in excellent yields (88-92%). various benzene-1,2-diamin...

Abstract Many coumarin derivatives have good biological activity and application value in fluorescent probes. Therefore, synthetic routes to also attracted the attention of many research groups. In this work, based on Pechmann synthesis method, influence various Lewis acids reaction was discussed, optimal conditions 7-hydroxy-4-substituted coumarins were explored. Based experimental results, a ...

A synthetic sequence has been developed to selectively functionalize the furan ring of the natural product salvinorin A (2a). The synthetic routes described convert the furan ring in 2a into an N-sulfonylpyrrole, oxazole or an oxadiazole. In addition, a procedure has been found to remove the furan skeleton completely. Biological results indicate that replacement of the furan ring with an N-sulf...

The assembly of colloidal building-blocks is an efficient, inexpensive and flexible approach for the fabrication of a wide variety of photonic materials with designed shapes and large areas. In this review, the various assembly routes to the fabrication of colloidal crystals and their post-assembly modifications to the production of photonic materials are first described. Then, the emerging app...
