Over the past decade, mechanochemistry has emerged as a powerful methodology in the search for sustainable alternatives to conventional solvent-based synthetic routes. Mechanochemistry has already been successfully applied to the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), organic compounds, metal oxides, coordination compounds and organometallic complexes. In the main group arena, e...

Marine macroalgae, or seaweeds, are a formidable source of natural compounds with diverse biological activities. In the last five decades it has been estimated that more than 3000 natural compounds were discovered from these organisms. The great majority of the published works have focused on terpenoids. In comparison, glycolipids are a neglected class of macroalgal secondary metabolites theref...

This Application Note demonstrates the use of rapid resolution liquid chromatography in conjunction with tandem mass spectrometry to study the plasma stability of pharmaceutical compounds belonging to four different drug classes. The Agilent 1200 Series Rapid Resolution LC system (RRLC) provided fast separation of compounds and internal standard in all samples. The Agilent MassHunter Optimizer ...

Interest in the development of bioprocesses for the production or extraction of bioactive compounds from natural sources has increased in recent years due to the potential applications of these compounds in food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. In this context, solid-state fermentation (SSF) has received great attention because this bioprocess has potential to successfully convert inex...

Pyrazoles are an important class of five membered heterocyclic compounds; are widely found as the core structure in a large variety of compounds that possess important agrochemical and pharmaceutical activities. Pyrazoles have been the recent target of numerous methodologies, mostly due to their prevalence as scaffolds in synthesis of bioactive compounds and reactions in different media. The ai...

background & aim:extracts of roselle calyx,   possess compounds which could be considered as a great source of natural antioxidants.   in this project, antioxidant activities, phenolic compounds content and their   correlation analysis on calices of roselle (hibiscus sabdariffa) was investigated.  experimental: total polyphenolic compound, flavonoids and anthocyanins were determined spectrophot...

In the pharmaceutical industry deciding whether to progress a compound to the next stage of development or choosing between compounds in a development portfolio is laden with risk. This is particularly true of compounds developed to treat CNS disorders. The use of pre-clinical models in CNS drug development is well established but these models often lack predictive validity and many compounds f...

Fluorinated organic compounds have found broad application in the pharmaceutical, and agrochemical industries as well as in medical diagnostics. The impetus for the application of organouorine compounds in agrochemical and pharmaceutical products is their benecial pharmacokinetic properties, such as high metabolic stability and lipophilicity. The useful radionuclear properties of the unnatura...

Compounds that delay aging in model organisms may be of significant interest to anti-aging medicine, since these substances potentially provide pharmaceutical approaches to promote healthy lifespan in humans. We here aimed to test whether pharmaceutical concentrations of three fibrates, pharmacologically established serum lipid-lowering drugs and ligands of the nuclear receptor PPARalpha in mam...

This study presents the evaluation of seven pharmaceutical compounds belonging to different commonly used therapeutic classes in seawater samples from coastal areas of Gran Canaria Island. The target compounds include atenolol (antihypertensive), acetaminophen (analgesic), norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin (antibiotics), carbamazepine (antiepileptic) and ketoprofen and diclofenac (anti-inflammatory...
