Palladium Based-Polysaccharide Hydrogels as Catalysts in the Suzuki Cross-Coupling Reaction
TL;DR: In this article, a simple PdCl2(TPPTS)2 complex was successfully heterogenized in polysaccharide hydrogel beads by using two different methods: (1) dropping the complex and poly-charide solution into aqueous or ethanol solution of 0.5 m calcium chloride, and (2)dropping the mixture of polycharides and chitosan (C).
Journal ArticleDOI
Survey of supercritical fluid techniques for producing drug delivery systems for a potential use in cancer therapy
TL;DR: This review explains the potential of SCFs for cancer therapies by studying the current uses of the different high-pressure processes that can be useful for this medical treatment, such as the development of new drug delivery systems or the extraction of chemotherapeutics from a vegetal matrix.
