It is well known that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced copper-catalyzed fragmentation of proteins follows a site-specific oxidative mechanism mediated by hydroxyl radical-like species (i.e. Cu(I)O, Cu(II)/*OH or Cu(III)) that ends in increased carbonyl formation and protein fragmentation. We have found that the nitrone spin trap DMPO (5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide) prevented such processes b...

Nanobelt carriers have demonstrated some advantages such as good biocompatibility, biodegradability, and strain-accommodating properties. We prepared an optimized nanobelt carrier formulation for drug (etoposide) as an oral delivery system and estimated the potential of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) nanobelts. The nanobelts were prepared by the method of binary solvent approach and were characteriz...

Dimethyl carbonate (DMC) and glycidol are considered industrially important chemical entities there is a great benefit if these moieties can be synthesized from biomass-derived feedstocks such as glycerol or its derivatives. In this report, both DMC were in an integrated process derived 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol CO2 through metal-free reaction approach at mild conditions. Initially, the chlorinat...
