Introduction: This work aims to develop an efficient green synthetic procedure and cytotoxicity evaluation of benzoxazole derivatives, essential building block in medicinal chemistry research owing its broad range pharmacological properties, especially anticancer activity. Methods: The microwave-assisted condensation reaction between 2-amino-4-methylphenol aromatic aldehydes using iodine as the...

Several investigations have proven the presence of anthocyanins in different parts açai plants. These compounds are responsible for notable therapeutic properties such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and anticonvulsant. We therefore optimized an enzyme-assisted extraction method found açai, to be subsequently applied many fields agrifood, medicine, or cosmetics. A ...

Abstract Artefact-avoiding isolation of the volatiles from foods is a crucial step before analysis odour-active compounds by gas chromatography (GC). In past 20 years, solvent extraction followed solvent-assisted flavour evaporation (SAFE) has become standard approach, particularly prior to GC–olfactometry. The manual valve SAFE equipment, however, leads suboptimal yields and risk contamination...
