A facile one-pot recipe for topological insulator BiSe with thermoelectric properties.

Topological materials from heavy p-block metal chalcogenides with layered structures and anisotropic bonding are of immense importance for thermoelectrics. The synthesis of such materials with simple chemical routes is of high significance. Here, we present a low-temperature, facile, one-pot, and cost-effective synthesis of topological insulator BiSe nanosheets.

Room-Temperature Synthesis and Low Thermal Conductivity in Nanocrystalline AgCuS.

Noble-metal-based chalcogenide materials recently gained massive attention in the field of thermoelectrics. In most cases, materials are synthesized using (i) high-temperature solid-state reactions or (ii) soft chemical methods where temperature requirements are lower than those of solid-state reactions (generally below 400 °C). Herein, we present a simple, surfactant-free, room-temperature, and energy-efficient synthesis of AgCuS nanocrystals.

Design and synthesis of 4-aminophenol-1,3,4-oxadiazole derivative potentiates apoptosis by targeting MAP kinase in triple negative breast cancer cells.

Women below 40 years greatly suffer from triple negative breast cancers (TNBCs). Compared to other breast cancer cases, the poor prognosis and lower survival rate of TNBC patients make it an alarming task to save the human era from this dreadful disease. Therefore, identifying potential novel leads is urgently required to combat the TNBC.

Design, synthesis and docking studies of novel 4-aminophenol-1,2,4-oxadiazole hybrids as apoptosis inducers against triple negative breast cancer cells targeting MAP kinase.

In our study, a series of novel 4-aminophenol benzamide-1,2,4-oxadiazole hybrid analogues have been designed and synthesized by condensing 4-hydroxyphenyl arylamides and 5-chloromethyl-3-aryl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles The structure of the synthesised compounds was verified by various spectroscopic techniques (H NMR, C NMR, IR and LC-MS). All the prepared compounds were subjected to and antiproliferative study against TNBC cell lines MDA-MB-468 and MDA-MB-231. The investigations revealed that compound significantly promoted apoptosis against MDA-MB-468 and MDA-MB-231 cells with IC values of 22.
