In an attempt to develop a photostable and efficient pyrromethene compound for use in liquid dye lasers, three congeners of the commercially available 567 (PM567) laser were synthesized their photophysical properties, lasing efficiencies, photochemical stabilities studied. general presence aryl group at C-8 chromophore increased photostability. One possessing trimethoxyphenyl moiety showed significantly improved parameters than PM567. Compared PM567, stability new was 2-fold, while it...

Column chromatography extract led isolation chevibetol (CHV), allylpyrocatechol (APC), their glucosides. HPTLC analyses similar chemical profiles in all P. varieties, although concentrations CHV APC were...
The conventional concept of selective complexation actinides with soft donor ligands (either S or N donor) has been modified here through exploiting the concept, "intra-ligand synergism", where a hard atom, such as oxygen preferentially binds to trivalent [An(iii)] compared valence iso-electronic lanthanides [Ln(iii)] in presence another centre. We have theoretically predicted selectivity 1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-dicarboxylamide towards Am(iii) ion density functional calculations....
Abstract The recent emergence of pandemic coronavirus (COVID‐19) caused by SARS‐CoV‐2 has raised significant global health concerns. More importantly, there is no specific therapeutics currently available to combat against this deadly infection. enzyme 3‐chymotrypsin‐like cysteine protease (3CLpro) known be essential for viral life cycle as it controls the replication. 3CLpro could a potential drug target established before in case severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS‐CoV) and Middle East...
Currently, effective therapeutic modalities for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) are quite limited, leading to gloomy prognosis and ∼6-months median patient survival. Recent advances showed the promise of photodynamic therapy (PDT) PDAC patients. Next generation photosensitizers (PS) based on "organelle-targeted-PDT" provide new paradigm in field precision medicines address current challenge treating PDAC. In this investigation, we have constructed a novel PS, named as
Despite of having many advantages over the popular cancer therapies, photodynamic therapy still is not widely acceptable for clinical applications. Scarcity efficient triplet photosensitizers (PSs) one main bottlenecks this. Although numerous heavy atom attached PSs are developed as PDT agents, but these suitable applications due to several reasons. Thus, development heavy-atom-free organic urgently required. In this context, new type helical BODIPYs discussed. have rich photophysical...
Abstract Bodipy laser dyes are highly efficient but degrade rapidly in solution by reacting with situ generated singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ). To increase the lasing lifetimes of these dyes, we have designed and synthesised two different congeners widely studied Pyrromethene 567 (PM567) substitution at boron centre and/or both meso position. The new showed high efficiencies increased photostability. results theoretical pulse radiolysis studies revealed that reduced generation capacity as well...
Abstract Three boradiazaindacene (BODIPY) dyes with different‐coloured (greenish‐yellow, orange and red) fluorescence good Stokes shifts were synthesised starting from the greenish‐yellow BODIPY dye PM546. The high of are due to release steric strain in their excited states relative that highly twisted ground states. One these compounds might be a useful water‐soluble fluorophore, whereas other two promising H + sensors.
Designing heavy-atom-free triplet photosensitizers (PSs) is a challenge for the efficient photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancer. Helicenes are twisted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with an intersystem crossing (ISC) that proportional to their twisting angle. But difficult syntheses and weak absorption profile in visible spectral region restrict use as PSs PDT. On other hand, boron-containing PAHs, BODIPYs highly recognized outstanding optical properties. However, planar BODIPY dyes...
Abstract The leaves of Piper betle (locally known as Paan) have long been in use the Indian indigenous system medicine for relief pain; however, underlying molecular mechanisms this effect not elucidated. anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects an ethanolic extract P.

At non-toxic concentrations PB (5–25 μg mL−1), dose-dependent decrease...
Starting from some meso-methyl Bodipy dyes, the corresponding meso-styryl derivatives were synthesized by regioselective Knoevenagel-type condensation with different aromatic aldehydes. The reactions driven alleviation of structural strain alkyl substituted Bodipys that could override differential acidities methyl protons at pyrrole ring moiety.
Abstract In the present study, we demonstrated effect of hydrogen bonding in semiconducting behaviour a small molecule used organic field‐effect transistors (OFETs). For this highly soluble dumbbell‐shaped molecule, Boc‐TATDPP based on Boc‐protected thiophene‐diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) and triazatruxene (TAT) moieties was used. The two Boc groups were removed by annealing at 200 °C, which created strong hydrogen‐bonded network NH‐TATDPP supported additional π–π stacking. These characterised...
