Assessment of Reaction Parameters in the Polymeric Carbon Nitride Thermal Synthesis and the Influence in Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production
In this work, the reaction parameters for polymeric carbon nitride synthesis by thermal polycondensation were assessed, such as type of precursor, heating rate and time of thermal treatment, in order to obtain crystalline materials with high photocatalytic performance. All synthesized materials were tested as photocatalysts in hydrogen production using ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) as a sacrificial reactant under visible light irradiation ( λ ≥ 420 nm). The synthesis condition capable to obtain the material that reached the best performance in photocatalytic hydrogen production was using thiourea as the precur...

Crystal Structure and 1H NMR Experimental and Theoretical Study of Conformers of 5-Methyl-1-(4’-methylphenylsulfonylamino)-1H-[1,2,3]-triazole-4-carboxylic Acid Ethyl Ester and 5-Methyl-1-(phenylsulfonylamino)-1H-[1,2,3]-triazole-4-carboxylic Acid Ethyl Ester
We reported experimental and theoretical investigation of conformers of 1,2,3-triazole derivatives, substances of exclusively synthetic origin, subject of extensive studies, because of several biological properties, such as antiviral, antimicrobial and antileishmaniasis. We reported molecular/supramolecular X-ray structures of antiophidian compounds I and II. For I and II there are two crystallographic different molecules in the unit cell (A and B). To explore the causes of the similarities in the compound ’ s crystal structures, intermolecular interactions were explored using the Hirshfeld surface as the fingerprint plo...

An Expedient Synthesis of Tacrine-Squaric Hybrids as Potent, Selective and Dual-Binding Cholinesterase Inhibitors
The restoration of acetylcholine levels in the brain by inhibition of cholinesterases is currently the most successful therapeutic strategy to treat neurodegenerative disorders. In this context, tacrine has been largely investigated as a starting scaffold for the development of promising new anticholinesterases compounds for the treatment of neurodegenerative illnesses, including Alzheimer ’ s disease. Here we present a series of compounds containing the tacrine nucleus connected with squaric moiety by a diaminoalkylene chain. The compounds were obtained through a simple and short synthetic route and showed high inhibito...

Isolation, in vitro and in silico Evaluation of Phenylethanoid Glycoside from Arrabidaea brachypoda as Lipoxygenase Inhibitor
Lipoxygenase (LOX) plays an important role in inflammatory processes and Arrabidaea brachypoda (DC.) Bureau (Bignoniaceae) has been described as presenting anti-inflammatory activity. Therefore, the objective of this study was to develop a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) procedure to directly recognize LOX inhibitor compounds in A. brachypoda crude extract, facilitating the isolation, characterization of bioactive compounds, evaluation of natural compounds using an in vitro 15-LOX assay and prediction of the most probable binding modes of their main constituent through molecular docking simulations. The chemi...

Structural and Functional Stabilization of Sericin from Bombyx mori Cocoons in a Biopolysaccharide Film: Bioorigami for Skin Regeneration
Development and optimization of a bioorigami film with silk sericin was pursued for skin regeneration. Several formulations were produced, with varying integrated sericin contents, viz. 0, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 mgsericin mLfilm-1. The physico-chemical characteristics of the bioorigami films produced were evaluated via infrared spectrophotometry, X-ray diffraction, X-ray transmission, X-ray fluorescence, thermogravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry, transdermal protein permeation, kinetics of protein release from the bioorigami films and free radical scavenging activities. The mechanical resistance was also evaluate...
