“…[22] Benzofurans are also a part of the molecular structure of a large number of natural products. [23] In recent time, benzofuran derivatives have valuable biological and pharmacological activities including enzyme inhibition, [24] antitubercular, antibacterial, [25] anticonvulsant, [26] anti-Alzheimer, [27] antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, [28] antiprotozoal, [29] antihyperlipidemic, [30] anticancer, [31] anti-HIV, [32] antihypertensive, [33] analgesic, [34] antiparasitic, [35] antiplasmodial, [36] and antidiabetic. [37] Nanocrystalline metal oxides find excellent applications in the field of synthetic organic chemistry owing to their high catalytic activity, reusable nature, and benign character in the perspective of green chemistry.…”
