Graphical Abstract: This paper is dedicated to the role of cyclodextrins in new formulations for the treatment of infections with Mycobacterium tuberculosis that are in the process of design and development. Cyclodextrins play the role of solubilizing agents and promoters of the antimycobacterial substances penetration inside the mycobacterial cell.
Graphical Abstract: This article offers an overview of some contemporary antimicrobial (biocides and biostatics) agents used as functional finishing for textiles intended for biomedical applications. It reviews only synthetic agents, namely quaternary ammonium compounds, halogenated phenols, polybiguanides, N-halamines, and renewable peroxides, as a part of an extensive study currently in progress.
Graphical Abstract: Nanocomposites based on HDPE and HDPE-g-MA, as matrix, and nanoclay Cloisite 20A, as filler, were obtained by melt compounding and solution blending, and their properties were comparatively studied in order to establish the dependence of the clay degree of exfoliation/intercalation on the preparation procedure.
Graphical Abstract: Macrophages play an important role in the pathological development of different diseases. Therefore, macrophage targeting represents an important challenge in design of new medicines. This review gives a general presentation of small molecule-recognition concepts used for macrophage targeting. It describes mechanisms and systems for macrophage-targeted delivery, their obtaining and application.
Graphical Abstract: Task-specific ionic liquids based on imidazolium cation containing carbonitrile, carboxyl, and alkyl chains have been employed in an attempt to design new functionalized liquids for solvent extraction of sulphur compounds from diesel fuel.
Graphical Abstract: A simple and efficient method for preparation of 5-aryloxy tetrazoles (3a-h) from arylcyanates (1a-h) with using ZnCl2/AlCl3/silica (ZAS) as an effective heterogeneous catalyst in solvent free are described with excellent yields and high purity. The rate of product formation was enhanced by introduction of electron donating substituents. The 1H NMR and chemical shifts and multiplicities are also discussed.
Graphical Abstract: The data on the development of selective organic synthesis suitable for obtaining multifunctional organic compounds both linear and cyclic structures using environmentally benign, inexpensive and renewable resources summarized. This article is an extended abstract of a communication presented at the Conference Ecological Chemistry 2012.
