Total proteins of Hyalomma and Hirudo were also extracted and used for the investigation of protein role in metal corrosion inhibition. In extract examinations, parasites can be candidates for green inhibition of metal corrosion. During the experiment processes, the collagen of Hirudo was dissolved and the chitin of arthropods was also dissolved to chitosan and coated the metal surfaces. In the extracted proteins examinations, the corrosion inhibition of Hirudo was much better than Hyalomma. According to different research, arthropods (as chitin-rich) and leech (as collagen-rich) parasites could inhibit metal corrosion in acidic media, suggesting a bridge between parasitology and engineering.\u0000","PeriodicalId":10856,"journal":{"name":"Current Green Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44193239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Citric acid is found naturally in citrus fruits, especially lemons and limes.

It has been applicable for the multicomponent synthesis of pyrano[2, 3-e]pyrimidin, pyrano[2, 3-d]pyrazol-amines, amidoalkyl naphthols, tetrahydropyridines, indazolo[2,1-b]phthalazine-triones, indazolo[2,1-b]phthalazine-triones, indazolo[2,1-b]phthalazine-triones, ethyl 3-methyl-4,5-dioxo-1,2-diphenylpyrrolidine-3-carboxylate and 2,4-disubstituted thiazoles from ketones via C–Br, C–S, and C–N Bond Formations. Citric acid is also used in combination with ultrasound for the synthesis of biologically active pyrazolyl-bis coumarinyl methanes and pyrrolidinone. Citric acid is used in the generation of nanocatalysts, mesoporous carbon materials (OMCs) as well as polymerization reactions by the reaction of resorcinol/formaldehyde resin.

The therapeutic potential of bioactive heterocycles for a variety of disorders lies in their medicinal effects. The most prominent of them is Alzheimer's disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder that impairs memory and causes other psychiatric problems. Globally, there are around 54 million cases, and by 2050, that number is predicted to rise by 131 million. So far, donepezil, galantamine, and rivastigmine have indeed received FDA approval for use in the treatment of AD. In this regard, the pharmacophoric properties of heterocycle molecules are equivalent to those of galantamine mimics. Therefore, it is beneficial to create novel compounds containing these moieties and test their ability to inhibit acetyl and butyl cholinesterase. Diverse heterocyclic scaffolds may now have therapeutic potential for Alzheimer's disease. Recently, greener and more expeditious synthesis of bioactive heterocycles has drawn much attention because of the utilisation of environmentally benign protocols, thereby diminishing the usage of hazardous chemicals. In this review, we discuss the most pertinent findings about the \"green\" synthesis of heterocycles and their possible anti-activity against Alzheimer's.\u0000","PeriodicalId":10856,"journal":{"name":"Current Green Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43940084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
