These synthesized derivatives are an important class of heterocyclic scaffolds and exhibit significant potential as anti-coagulant, diuretic, spasmolytic, anticancer, and anti-anaphylactic agents. The prepared MNP-based catalysts were characterized using XRD, FE-SEM, VSM, TG-DTA, and Raman spectroscopy. The synthesis of derivatives involved the condensation reaction of enolizable compounds with aldehyde, dimedone, and ethyl cyanoacetate for tetrahydrobenzo[<em>b</em>]pyran, and the reaction of aromatic aldehyde, 4-hydroxycoumarin, and malononitrile for dihydropyrano[3,2-<em>c</em>]chromene synthesis. The reaction was optimized using different techniques such as stirring, ultrasonication, and microwave irradiation, with microwave irradiation method demonstrating faster product separation and high yield. The homogeneity of the isolated product was analyzed by FT-IR,¹H-¹³C-NMR, and mass spectrometry. The advantages of this method include its simplicity, eco-friendliness, cost-effectiveness, and it also evades the use of toxic metals and solvents.

Human exposure to PAHs primarily occurs through food consumption. One of the possible causes of formation in food is free radicals. Also, the confirmed mechanism of their toxicity in living organisms is oxidative stress. This complication is also caused by free radicals released during their metabolism. Chronic exposure to PAHs can lead to carcinogenic, teratogenic and mutagenic effects in humans. Consequently, there is a need to minimize the presence of these compounds in food. Research suggests that antioxidants play a crucial role in reducing PAH levels in food. Therefore, formulating food products with the right combination of antioxidants could be an effective strategy to mitigate the formation of PAHs. Moreover, antioxidants have been found to alleviate the toxicity associated with PAHs in the human body.

Sulfur drugs exert their pharmacological actions primarily through their ability to interfere with microbial growth and modulate immune responses.

Smaller rings, such as three- and four-membered rings, often impart unique reactivity and functional properties, potentially leading to potent pharmacological effects. Conversely, larger rings, such as six- and seven-membered rings, may offer increased structural stability and favorable interactions with biological targets, enhancing the medicinal potency of the compounds. Understanding the relationship between ring size and medicinal potency is crucial in drug design to facilitate the development of therapeutics with optimized efficacy and pharmacokinetic properties.
