The syntheses of almost all N-heterocycles have now been successfully performed under microwave irradiation and provided significant improvements in the reaction time efficiency. peculiar properties dielectric heating give it ability to strongly promote cyclocondensation, cycloaddition selective N-heterocycle functionalisation has, therefore, very much caught attention medicinal chemistry community. In this work, we present an overview recent literature technical advances research field with...
Pyroptosis is a caspase-1-dependent pro-inflammatory form of programmed cell death implicated in the pathogenesis autoinflammatory diseases as well disorders characterized by excessive and inflammation. Activation NLRP3 inflammasome key event pyroptotic cascade. In this study, we describe synthesis chemical tuning α,β-unsaturated electrophilic warheads toward development antipyroptotic compounds.

Abstract NLRP3 inflammasome plays a key role in the intracellular activation of caspase‐1, processing pro‐inflammatory interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β), and pyroptotic cell death cascade. The overactivation is implicated pathogenesis autoinflammatory diseases, known as cryopyrin‐associated periodic syndromes (CAPS), progression several such atherosclerosis, type‐2 diabetes, gout, Alzheimer's disease. In this study, synthesis acrylamide derivatives their pharmaco‐toxicological evaluation potential...

The ultrasound-assisted cross-linking of chitosan with hexamethylene diisocyanate the simultaneous incorporation Pd(OAc)2 resulted in a catalyst which is suitable for solid-state Suzuki cross-coupling poorly reactive (hetero)aryl chlorides phenylboronic acid. Reactions were carried out solvent-free planetary ball mill allowing to be recycled several times.
Rationale: Human cardiac mesenchymal cells (CMSCs) are a therapeutically relevant primary cell population. Diabetes mellitus compromises CMSC function as consequence of metabolic alterations and incorporation stable epigenetic changes. Objective: To investigate the role α-ketoglutarate (αKG) in epimetabolic control DNA demethylation CMSCs. Methods Results: Quantitative global analysis, methylated hydroxymethylated sequencing, gene-specific GC methylation detection revealed an accumulation...
Abstract Heck couplings were carried out ligandless in air with very low catalyst loads under microwave or simultaneous microwave/ultrasound irradiation. Using ligand‐free palladium(II) acetate [Pd(OAc) 2 ] the range of 0.01–0.1 mol % palladium‐on‐carbon (Pd/C) 10 1.0–2.0 %, most aryl iodides and bromides gave high yields conventional heating (120 °C) 18 h. Microwave irradiation alone or, better still, combined high‐intensity ultrasound, strongly promotes reaction, generally decreasing...
Abstract A fast, solvent-free method is described for the synthesis of substituted quinoline derivatives via Friedländer cyclization, employing a reusable solid catalyst (silica-propylsulfonic acid). Although it worked best under microwave irradiation (with generally more than 90% isolated yields in 30 min), reaction was also feasible conventional heating fair to good about 5 h).

Organosulphur compounds can be easily and selectively oxidized to sulfones using a small excess of Oxone® (1.6 eq.) under solventless mechanical milling conditions. This green procedure has been efficiently applied series model the desulphurization medium/high sulphur content paraffins (up 3000 mg kg−1).
The use of ultrasound (US) and microwaves (MW) in the oxidation purification multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was investigated. These techniques, particular US at a frequency 300 kHz, strongly accelerate process avoid heavy structural damage, observed 20–35 kHz classic range, even low power. Due to residual metal catalyst on head MWCNTs, MW heating is absorbed, causing rupture tip loss metal. All our chemico-physical treatment types were performed by suspending CNTs 3 ∶ 1 H2SO4/HNO3...
The Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azides and acetylenes catalyzed by Cu(I) salts, leading to 1,2,3-triazoles, is one the most versatile "click reactions". We have developed a series optimized protocols new applications this reaction starting from several substrates, comparing heterogeneous vs homogeneous catalysis, conventional heating microwave irradiation or simultaneous microwave/ultrasound irradiation. Both non-conventional techniques strongly promoted (bromide → azide triazole),...

Heck reactions and Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings with relatively poorly reactive 3,5-dichloro-2-pyrazinones were studied at the same temperature under conventional heating, dielectric heating (MW) simultaneous MW/US irradiation. This comparative study showed a synergic effect of combined MW US irradiation resulting in much higher reaction yield, time avoiding side partial degradation that is otherwise observed heating.
A novel, efficient, and rapid synthesis of the 6-aminoperhydro-1,4-diazepine scaffold is reported. It was promoted by microwave or sequential ultrasound/microwave irradiation under solvent-free conditions in solution. Protected ethylenediamine derivatives N-Boc-serinol dimesylate underwent cyclization to give 6-aminoperhydro-1,4-diazepine excellent yields with high selectivity, whereas same reaction failed gave negligible conventional heating. Cesium potassium ions catalyzed ring closure...
