Since the concept of self-healing materials was established, several variations of self-healing polymer materials have been developed based on distinct healing techniques. This review outlines the most recent breakthroughs in self-healing polymers and utilizes the opportunity to categories the descriptions of self-healing technologies in the literatures according to extrinsic and intrinsic routes (noncovalent bonds, physical interaction, and covalent bonds). The major focus is on the routes and strategies used to generate self-healing polymer materials. In addition, the strengths and weaknesses of polymer materials with different self-healing routes and strategies in terms of mechanical and self-healing properties were summarized. Furthermore, we also reviewed the progress of the development from a single selfhealing mechanism to multiple self-healing mechanisms to achieve balanced comprehensive performance. Finally, the future trajectory of self-healing polymers is envisioned.","PeriodicalId":10926,"journal":{"name":"Current Organic Chemistry","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139951397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In spite of many remarkable and consistent efforts having been made by the chemists towards the development of greener and sustainable strategies for the synthesis of tetrazole derivatives, this approach still needs more attention. The present review focuses on the green synthetic approach for the preparation of tetrazole derivatives from different starting materials such as nitrile, isonitrile, carbonyl, amine, amide, oxime and terminal alkyne functions. The mechanism of tetrazole synthesis from different substrates is discussed. In addition to this, a four component Ugi-azide reaction to the tetrazole synthesis is also described. Of note, the present articles exploited several water-mediated and solventfree methodologies for tetrazole synthesis. The important key features of tetrazole synthesis were pinpointing in each synthetic scheme which provides excellent guide to those searching for selective procedure to achieve the desired transformation. This review seeks to present a timely account (2011-2023) on the splendid array of ecofriendly procedures of synthesis known today for the preparation of tetrazole derivatives from different starting materials.

The ABTS·+, DPPH·, CUPRAC and β-Carotene/linoleic acid assays were carried out to determine the antioxidant activity of the synthesized pyrazolines. Compound P14 showed higher antioxidant activity than the standard substance BHA with IC50 values of 1.71±0.31 μM and 0.29±0.04 μM in ABTS+ and β-carotene/linoleic acid assays, respectively. Compound P12 also exhibited higher antioxidant activities than BHA with an IC50 value of 0.36±0.14 μM in β-carotene/linoleic acid analysis. In activity studies of pyrazolines against cholinesterase (AChE and BChE), tyrosinase, α-amylase and α- glucosidase, compound P1 (IC50 = 39.51±3.80 μM) showed higher activity against α-amylase and compounds P5 and P12 displayed higher activity against α-glucosidase than acarbose with IC50 values of 14.09±0.62 and 83.26±2.57 μM, respectively. The drug-like properties such as Lipinski and Veber, bioavailability and toxicity risks of the synthesized compounds were also evaluated. The compounds were predicted to be compatible with Lipinski and Veber rules, have high bioavailability and low toxicity profiles.

There is a profound impact of sporotrichosis on public health, affecting both humans and domestic animals. The causative agents are fungi within the Sporothrix genus, primarily transmitted through traumatic exposure to contaminated soil, plants, decomposing materials, or through scratches from infected animals, notably cats. While sporotrichosis is a global concern, its prevalence is particularly noteworthy in tropical and subtropical regions. The limited treatment options for sporotrichosis, with itraconazole as the preferred choice, underscore the challenges posed by fungal infections. Issues such as toxicity and drug resistance further complicate effective management. Consequently, this review aims to elucidate key objectives: identification of novel synthetic compounds revealed in the literature, highlighting ongoing efforts to develop new treatments against sporotrichosis, examining promising anti-sporothrix natural products, and providing an overview of endeavors to repurpose approved drugs. The key findings from the study underscore the urgent need for diversified and effective drugs for the treatment of Sporotrichosis.","PeriodicalId":10926,"journal":{"name":"Current Organic Chemistry","volume":"693 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139589299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
