This project focusses on the synthesis of novel 6,8-disubstituted-chromone-3-carboxamides and their evaluation as potential anti-tuberculosis agents. In this study, four 3-iodo-5-substituted-2-hydroxyacetophenones (58A-D) ...

Breonadia salicina (Vahl) Hepper and J.R.I. Wood is a tree used widely to treat numerous infectious diseases in South Africa and other African countries, and ethnopharmacological studies have shown a number of biological ...

In this study, the recent micro-extraction and pre-concentration techniques, namely vortex-assisted liquid-liquid micro-extraction (VA-LLME), dispersive liquid-liquid micro-extraction (DLLME) and membrane assisted solvent ...

Host-guest chemistry, also known as inclusion chemistry, is an important subfield of supramolecular chemistry where there is great current interest owing to its great promise in the areas of separation of small molecules, ...

The Solanum genus is among the most diverse and valuable in terms of agricultural utility and vegetable crops. This study was directed at the characterization of toxic metabolites contained in Solanum retroflexum and Solanum ...

This research study reports the inhibition of mild steel (MS), zinc (Zn) in 1.0 M HCl and 1.0 M H2SO4, and the inhibition of aluminium (Al) in 0.5 M HCl by three selected quinoxaline derivatives namely, quinoxalone-6-carboxylic ...

In this study, modern clean-up and pre-concentration techniques, namely hollow fibre liquid phase micro-extraction (HFLPME) and miniaturized pipette-tip extraction based on molecularly imprinted polymers (m-MIP-PTE), were ...

South Africa consumes more than 100 million tons of low-grade coal annually to produce electricity. This process results in generation of vast amounts of waste ash in coal fly ash (CFA) which is voluminous and is a source ...

Chromones are a group of naturally occurring heterocyclic compounds, with oxygen as a heteroatom. However, chromone-2-carboxylates are scarce in nature. These compounds are significant in organic chemistry and medicinal ...

Li3VO4 has been considered a promising negative electrode material because of its high theoretical capacity (394 mAh g−1) and zero strain during the charge and discharge processes. However, the electronic conductivity of ...
