Multifunctional Protein Eutectogels Based on Polyphenolic: Zwitterionic Low‐Transition‐Temperature Mixtures

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work presents the first example of multifunctional protein eutectogels based on a tannic acid: betaine low‐transition‐temperature mixture, exhibiting elastomeric behavior, strong adhesion to various substrates, including biological tissues, and notable anti‐inflammatory properties derived from the natural polyphenol and zwitterion.

Tailoring the Properties of Functional Materials With N‐Oxides

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The properties of materials bearing N‐oxide groups are often dominated by the polar N+─O− bond. It provides hydrophilicity, selective ion‐binding, electric conductivity, or antifouling properties. Many of the underlying mechanisms have only recently been discovered, and the interest in N‐oxide materials is rapidly growing.

Synthesis of new anti-bacterial agents: Hydrazide Schiff bases of vanadium acetylacetonate complexes

Cogent Chemistry, 2017
Four Schiff bases, L1, L2, L3 and L4 having –ON– donor system have been synthesised by the condensation of 4-(diethylamino)-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde with 4-nitrobenzohydrazide and 4-methoxybenzohydrazide to form L1 and L2. 4-(dimethylamino) benzaldehyde refluxed in the presence of 4-nitrobenzohydrazide and 4-methoxybenzohydrazide forms L3 and L4 ...

Screening of Quercus infectoria gall extracts as anti-bacterial agents against dental pathogens

Indian Journal of Dental Research, 2009
A number of bacteria have now become antibiotic-resistant. This increases the importance of ayurvedic drugs. We report, here, the activity of different extracts (petroleum ether, chloroform, methanol and water) of Quercus infectoria galls against dental pathogens -- Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus salivarius, Staphylococcus aureus, Lactobacillus ...
