A new and efficient synthesis of benzoxanthene drivatives from the three-component condensation reaction ofaryl aldehydes and β-naphthol under solvent-free conditions in the presence of β-cyclodextrin sulfonic acid, as an efficient heterogeneous solid acid catalyst with excellent yields and short reaction time is presented

3,4-ِDihydropyrano[c]chromene derivatives were synthesized using sulfonic acid functionalized silica (SiO2-Pr-SO3H) as a highly efficient heterogenous solid acid catalyst via one-pot three-component condensation of aromatic aldehydes with malononitrile and 4-hydroxycoumarin in excellent yields.

rosmarinus officinalis l. (family lamiaceae) popularly named rosemary, is a common household plant grown around the world, including iran. rosemary aerial parts are used as flavoring agent in foods, beverages, and cosmetic preparations and have various traditional uses in ethnomedicine including: analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-rheumatic, spasmolytic, carminative and choleretic applications....

polypyrrole is one of the most useful conductive polymers, but green synthesis of this polymer has been restricted until now. the objective of the present paper is green synthesis of nano polypyrrole (ppy) by oxidative polymerization using urea-hydrogen peroxide. it was found that conductivity and morphology of polypyrrole are highly dependent on the reaction conditions such as the molar ratio ...

Biosurfaces are universally covered with fluid microfilms containing reduced glutathione (GSH) and other antioxidants whose putative roles include the detoxification of ambient ozone (O(3)). It is generally believed that O(3) accepts an electron from the thiolate GS(2-) function [pK(a)(GS(-)) = 8.8] of GSH to produce thiyl GS(*-) radicals en route to the disulfide GSSG. Here, we report novel el...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, involves chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. Previously, Sasa quelpaertensis leaves have been shown to mediate anti-inflammation and anti-cancer effects, although it remains unclear whether Sasa leaves are able to attenuate inflammation-related intestinal diseases. Therefore...

Azadirachta indica leaves indicated the presence of active principles with proven antioxidants, antiinflammatory, immunomodulatory, free radical scavenging and healing properties. In the present study we evaluated the healing effects of 50% ethanol extract of dried leaves of Azadirachta indica on trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid-induced colitis in rats. Azadirachta indica extract (500 mg/kg) was a...
