Acanthophyllum laxiusculum is one of the most widely distributed species of the genus in Iran that flourishes in steppe and mountainous regions of the country. In the present study, water-soluble content of A. laxiusculum roots was extracted by boiling water and further successively purified partially by a defined solvent system. Surface tension measurements revealed the ability of plant extract to decrease the surface tension of water from 72 to 38mN/m with a critical micelle concentration (CMC) of 87.3 mg/l. The partially purified natural extract (PPNE) exhibited 65% emulsification activity (E24) on kerosene. A combination of UV–VIS spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) demonstrated the presence of saponin compounds in PPNE. Moreover, thermostability of PPNE was evaluated by thermal gravimetric analysis (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). TG-DTG analysis showed a complex three-stage thermal degradation mechanism and this conclusion was also supported by the DTA spectrum.

A facile and efficient protocol for the synthesis of 1,8-dioxo-octahydroxanthenes has been developed by one-pot Knoevenagel condensation, Michael addition and cyclodehydration reaction of dimedone (active methylene carbonyl compound) with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of Iron (III) sulfate hydrate as a solid acidic catalyst under solvent-free conditions. Various aromatic aldehydes were utilized in the reaction and in all situations the desired product were synthesized successfully. The present methodology is cost-effective in addition to other advantages like high yields of products in shorter reaction time and simple workup procedure. The non toxicity and easy availability of the catalyst makes this protocol efficient and environmentally benign.

Mn(II) salen complex immobilized on nano silicagel was prepared by incorporating Mn(II) salen complex into a nanosilica matrix and characterized by TGA, XRD, atomic absorption spectroscopy and was successfully applied as catalyst for the oxidation of alcohols. Oxidation of a series of alcohols in acetonitrile over immobilized Mn(II) salen complex using tetrabutylammonium peroxymonosulfate (TBAO) as oxidant were resulted to the corresponding carbonyl compounds selectively in moderate to high yields. It is noteworthy that the aldehydes do not undergo further oxdation to carboxylic acids. The yields of aromatic alcohols are higher than those of alcohols with aliphatic groups. The catalyst has been reused several times, without observable loss of its activity and selectivity.

In this research, (Carboxy-3-oxopropylamino)-3-propylsilylcellulose (COPAPSC) as an organocatalyst, has been synthesized by grafting of succinic anhydride on the NH2-modified cellulose (cellulose functionalized with 3- aminopropyltriethoxysilane). The –CO2H group-functionalized cellulose (COPAPSC) is used as a catalyst for the synthesis of coumarin derivatives from the reaction of phenolic substrate and β- Keto-esters under solvent-free conditions. The results showed that the yield of products is between 85-94%. The advantages of this reaction include simple work-up, short reaction time, excellent yields as well as easily separation of catalyst. The catalyst can be reused several times in subsequent reactions without any decreasing in the catalyst reactivity.

In this study, oxidation of some 3,5-diacyl or 3,5-diester 1,4-dihydropyridines to corresponding pyridine derivatives using sodium bromate in the presence of NH4Cl, NaHSO4 and Bu4NHSO4 under thermal conditions has been investigated. The yield and structure of formed products is similar under all conditions; however, the reaction is accelerated in the presence of Bu4NHSO4 and NaHSO4. In addition, oxidation of 3,5-diester 1,4-dihydropyridines, against 3,5-diacetyl 1,4-dihydropyridines using sodium bromate in the presence of tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulfate, leads to the corresponding pyridines in shorter reaction times than sodium hydrogen sulfate. The cheapness of reagent, high yielding, easy work up and mild condition make this method a useful addition to the available methods in organic synthesis

Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) models were employed for prediction the activity of P2X7 receptor antagonists. A data set consisted of 50 purine derivatives was utilized in the model construction where 40 and 10 of these compounds were in the training and test sets respectively. A suitable group of calculated molecular descriptors was selected by employing stepwise multiple linear regressions (SW-MLR) and genetic algorithm-multiple linear regressions (GA-MLR) as variable selection tools. The proposed MLR models were fully confirmed applying internal and external validation techniques. The obtained results of this QSAR study showed the superiority of the GA-MLR model over the SW-MLR model. As a result, the obtained GA–MLR model could be applied as a valuable model for designing similar groups of P2X7 receptor antagonists.

Al-MCM-41 nanoreactors is found to be a remarkable efficient catalyst for one-pot multicomponent cyclocondensation of benzil, aniline or ammonium acetate and aromatic aldehydes for the synthesis of polysubstituted imidazoles under solvent-free conditions. The reaction was efficiently promoted by 10 mg nano-Al-MCM-41 and the heterogeneous catalyst was recycled for four runs in this reaction without losing its catalytic activity. The key advantages of this process are operational simplicity, reusable catalyst, shorter reaction time, convenient work-up procedures, avoiding the use of organic solvents and purification of products by non-chromatographic methods. By this advantage, several polysubstituted imidazoles as pharmaceutical important molecules can be prepared in high yield and high purity.

In the present work, the synthesis of Barium hexaferrite (BaFe12O19) nanoparticles in thepresence of a large excess amount of OH− anions by the hydrothermal method in the presence and absence of surfactants such as Sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate and Triton X-114 was reported. The optimized temperature in the absence of surfactant was determined (200 °C) and then Barium hexaferrite nanoparticles were synthesized by assistance of surfactants at this temperature. In this way, it was confirmed that the secondary re-crystallization can be totally suppressed with the use of surfactant and addition of surfactant leads to the synthesis of uniform and ultrafine nanoparticles with excellent superparamagnetic properties. Barium hexaferite nanoparticles have a disc-like shape. The structure, morphology and magnetic properties of samples were characterized and investigated by Powder X-ray Diffraction (PXRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) techniques.
