TL;DR: The use of compound 1 resulted in nearly full recovery of the locomotor and exploratory activities and was as effective as the comparator agent (levodopa) in both MPTP and haloperidol animal models.
Abstract: (1R,2R,6S)-3-Methyl-6-(prop-1-en-2-yl)cyclohex-3-ene-1,2-diol 1 possesses potent antiparkinsonian activity in both MPTP and haloperidol animal models. The use of compound 1 resulted in nearly full recovery of the locomotor and exploratory activities and was as effective as the comparator agent (levodopa). All eight stereoisomers of compound 1 have been synthesized and the influence of the absolute configuration on the antiparkinsonian activity of compound 1 was shown.

TL;DR: The activity and the selectivity of catalyst were observed to be influenced by their acidity, basicity and morphology of the mesoporous materials, which strongly influenced the formation of trans-carveol.
Abstract: Ce-modified mesoporous silica materials MCM-41 and SBA-15, namely 32 wt % Ce-Si-MCM-41, 16 wt % Ce-H-MCM-41 and 20 wt % Ce-Si-SBA-15, were prepared, characterized and studied in the selective preparation of trans-carveol by α-pinene oxide isomerization. The characterizations of these catalysts were performed using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption and FTIR pyridine adsorption. Selective preparation of trans-carveol was carried out in the liquid phase in a batch reactor. The activity and the selectivity of catalyst were observed to be influenced by their acidity, basicity and morphology of the mesoporous materials. The formation of trans-carveol is moreover strongly influenced by the basicity of the used solvent and in order to achieve high yields of this desired alcohol it is necessary to use polar basic solvent.

TL;DR: In this article, synthesis of new compounds that combine the diazaadamantane and monoterpenoid moieties was carried out based on the reaction between dimethylbispidinone and Monoterpene-derived aldehydes.
Abstract: Synthesis of new compounds that combine the diazaadamantane and monoterpenoid moieties was carried out based on the reaction between dimethylbispidinone and monoterpene-derived aldehydes. Investigation of the analgesic activity of the obtained products revealed that compound 5a synthesized from (−)-myrtenal had a higher efficacy compared with the reference drug, diclofenac sodium, in the acetic acid-induced writhing and hot plate tests. Compound 5a exhibits a low acute toxicity and does not cause damage to the gastric mucosa, and its analgesic effect is, at least partially, mediated by the cannabinoid system involving CB1 receptors.

TL;DR: This review is a critical approach to green adsorbents, discussing many different topics such as: adsorption capacity; kinetic modeling; critical techno-economical data of green adsOrption processes in order to scale-up experiments with economic analysis and perspectives of the use of green Adsorbents.
Abstract: One of the most serious environmental problems is the existence of hazardous and toxic pollutants in industrial wastewaters. The major hindrance is the simultaneous existence of many/different types of pollutants as (i) dyes; (ii) heavy metals; (iii) phenols; (iv) pesticides and (v) pharmaceuticals. Adsorption is considered to be one of the most promising techniques for wastewater treatment over the last decades. The economic crisis of the 2000s led researchers to turn their interest in adsorbent materials with lower cost. In this review article, a new term will be introduced, which is called "green adsorption". Under this term, it is meant the low-cost materials originated from: (i) agricultural sources and by-products (fruits, vegetables, foods); (ii) agricultural residues and wastes; (iii) low-cost sources from which most complex adsorbents will be produced (i.e., activated carbons after pyrolysis of agricultural sources). These "green adsorbents" are expected to be inferior (regarding their adsorption capacity) to the super-adsorbents of previous literature (complex materials as modified chitosans, activated carbons, structurally-complex inorganic composite materials etc.), but their cost-potential makes them competitive. This review is a critical approach to green adsorption, discussing many different (maybe in some occasions doubtful) topics such as: (i) adsorption capacity; (ii) kinetic modeling (given the ultimate target to scale up the batch experimental data to fixed-bed column calculations for designing/optimizing commercial processes) and (iii) critical techno-economical data of green adsorption processes in order to scale-up experiments (from lab to industry) with economic analysis and perspectives of the use of green adsorbents.

TL;DR: It is shown that the stereochemical complexity and shape complexity of IMPPAT phytochemicals differ from libraries of commercial compounds or diversity-oriented synthesis compounds while being similar to other libraries of natural products.
Abstract: Phytochemicals of medicinal plants encompass a diverse chemical space for drug discovery. India is rich with a flora of indigenous medicinal plants that have been used for centuries in traditional Indian medicine to treat human maladies. A comprehensive online database on the phytochemistry of Indian medicinal plants will enable computational approaches towards natural product based drug discovery. In this direction, we present, IMPPAT, a manually curated database of 1742 Indian Medicinal Plants, 9596 Phytochemicals, And 1124 Therapeutic uses spanning 27074 plant-phytochemical associations and 11514 plant-therapeutic associations. Notably, the curation effort led to a non-redundant in silico library of 9596 phytochemicals with standard chemical identifiers and structure information. Using cheminformatic approaches, we have computed the physicochemical, ADMET (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, toxicity) and drug-likeliness properties of the IMPPAT phytochemicals. We show that the stereochemical complexity and shape complexity of IMPPAT phytochemicals differ from libraries of commercial compounds or diversity-oriented synthesis compounds while being similar to other libraries of natural products. Within IMPPAT, we have filtered a subset of 960 potential druggable phytochemicals, of which majority have no significant similarity to existing FDA approved drugs, and thus, rendering them as good candidates for prospective drugs. IMPPAT database is openly accessible at: https://cb.imsc.res.in/imppat .

TL;DR: A comparative analysis against FDA approved drugs suggests that majority of the druggable phytochemicals in IMPPAT are good candidates for novel prospective drugs as they have little or no structural similarity with existing drugs.
Abstract: Phytochemical constituents of medicinal plants encompass a diverse space of chemical scaffolds which can be used for rational design of novel drugs. India is rich with a flora of indigenous medicinal plants that have been used for centuries in traditional Indian medicine to treat human maladies. A comprehensive online database on the phytochemistry of Indian medicinal plants will enable the application of systems biology and cheminformatic approaches towards natural product based drug discovery. In this direction, we here present, IMPPAT, a manually curated database of Indian Medicinal Plants, Phytochemistry, And Therapeutics. IMPPAT contains 1742 Indian medicinal plants, 9596 phytochemicals and 1124 therapeutic uses which span across 27074 plant-phytochemical associations and 11514 plant-therapeutic associations. Notably, the curation effort led to a non-redundant in silico chemical library of 9596 phytochemicals with standard chemical identifiers and structure information. Using cheminformatic approaches, we have computed the physicochemical properties and drug-likeliness of the phytochemicals in IMPPAT which led to a filtered subset of 960 potential druggable phytochemicals. Moreover, a comparative analysis against FDA approved drugs suggests that majority of the druggable phytochemicals in IMPPAT are good candidates for novel prospective drugs as they have little or no structural similarity with existing drugs.

TL;DR: Control encapsulation of TiO2 and Cu-TiO2 nanoparticles within zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) membranes was successfully accomplished, using rapid thermal deposition (RTD), and their photocatalytic efficiency toward CO2 conversion was investigated under UV irradiation, opening new routes for the fabrication of hybrid membranes containing inorganic nanoparticles and MOFs.
Abstract: Photocatalytic conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) to useful products has potential to address the adverse environmental impact of global warming. However, most photocatalysts used to date exhibit limited catalytic performance, due to poor CO2 adsorption capacity, inability to efficiently generate photoexcited electrons, and/or poor transfer of the photogenerated electrons to CO2 molecules adsorbed on the catalyst surface. The integration of inorganic semiconductor nanoparticles across metal organic framework (MOF) materials has potential to yield new hybrid materials, combining the high CO2 adsorption capacity of MOF and the ability of the semiconductor nanoparticles to generate photoexcited electrons. Herein, controlled encapsulation of TiO2 and Cu–TiO2 nanoparticles within zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) membranes was successfully accomplished, using rapid thermal deposition (RTD), and their photocatalytic efficiency toward CO2 conversion was investigated under UV irradiation.

TL;DR: This review focuses on selected aliphatic, monocyclic, and bicyclic monoterpenes like geraniol, thymol, myrtenal, pinene, camphor, borneol, and their modified structures and the introduction of various functionalized moieties into the molecules in question.
Abstract: Monoterpenes, comprising hydrocarbons, are the largest class of plant secondary metabolites and are commonly found in essential oils. Monoterpenes and their derivatives are key ingredients in the design and production of new biologically active compounds. This review focuses on selected aliphatic, monocyclic, and bicyclic monoterpenes like geraniol, thymol, myrtenal, pinene, camphor, borneol, and their modified structures. The compounds in question play a pivotal role in biological and medical applications. The review also discusses anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anticonvulsant, analgesic, antiviral, anticancer, antituberculosis, and antioxidant biological activities exhibited by monoterpenes and their derivatives. Particular attention is paid to the link between biological activity and the effect of structural modification of monoterpenes and monoterpenoids, as well as the introduction of various functionalized moieties into the molecules in question.
