A CobaltII/CobaltIII complex of alizarin that was analyzed from the stand point of binding with DNA, for ROS generation and anticancer drug prospecting was identified as an analogue of anthracyclines

The course-based undergraduate research experiences (CURE) approach is increasingly being used in undergraduate experimental courses. Here, we describe the implementation of CURE in an upper-level inorganic chemistry course, in which students were assigned different current themes to study. This paper focuses on the theme of quantum dots, highlighting how guidance, inquiry, and research were integrated into the classroom. The quantum dots theme introduced various concepts to students such as electron−hole pairs, band gaps, particle capping, doping, and size effects. A questionnaire distributed among the students revealed that the continuation of their research throughout the semester kept them engaged, and they maintained a high level of interest in the subject. The success of CURE in this course is revealed, as the instructor and professor will maintain this approach in the next semesters.

Natural plant pigments are safe and have low toxicity, with various nutrients and biological activities. However, the extraction, preservation, and application of pigments are limited due to the instability of natural pigments. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the extraction and application processes of natural plant pigments in detail. This review discusses the classification, extraction methods, biological activities, and modification methods that could improve the stability of various pigments from plants, providing a reference for applying natural plant pigments in the industry and the cosmetics, food, and pharmaceutical industries.
