Carbohydrates are naturally occurring compounds that are biocompatible, biodegradable and offers good opportunities for chemical modifications. Also, it holds significant importance in numerous biological processes including immune response, growth regulation,...

Amphiphiles in action: self-assembled nanostructures for drug delivery and imaging.

The aim of the present study is to compare the synthesized dendritic architectures in terms of self-assembly and transport potential for hydrophobic guest molecules.

A new series of oligo-glycerol based amphiphiles have been synthesized for drug delivery.

Graphene oxide supported Cu (II) ligand complex (GO@AP/L‐Cu) has been synthesized and characterized by FT‐IR, Raman, PXRD, UV–Visible, TGA, XPS, FESEM, TEM, EDAX, Elemental mapping, BET, CHNS and AAS analysis. The complex has been found to be efficient and reusable heterogeneous catalyst for the N‐arylation and C‐H activation reactions, both the catalytic reactions were found to be simple, cleaner and give high yields (~ 90%) of product. The catalyst can be easily filtered out from the reaction mixture and reused up to four times without significant loss of catalytic activity. The reported method is economical and novel in the sense that aqueous medium was used for both the reactions and for the stability of the catalyst. All isolated organic products were fully characterized on the basis of their physical and spectral data.
