Article Abstract

In an attempt to find the biorational pesticides, 20 novel chalcone derivatives containing a piperazine fragment were designed and synthesized. Their fungicidal activities and preliminarily action mechanism against were evaluated. Strikingly, the biological activity of compound was obtained by optimizing the structure of the system. Subsequently, the practical value of compound was ascertained by the relative surveys on anti- and anti-. The results revealed by scanning electron microscopy demonstrated that compound could induce irregular and shrivelled growth of mycelium and rupture of the mycelium surface. This study indicates that chalcone derivatives containing a piperazine skeleton had better inhibitory effect on plant fungi, providing further complementary research on new pesticides.

Changes in the body's natural glucose levels have been associated with the onset of diabetes mellitus. It is frequently accompanied by a number of long-term consequences, including cardiovascular disease, retinopathy, nephropathy, and cataracts. Aldose reductase (AR), an enzyme belonging to the aldoketo reductase superfamily, plays a crucial role in the polyol pathway of glucose metabolism by converting glucose into sorbitol.

Obtaining pesticide-active structures from natural resources and using them as lead compounds for the invention of new pesticides has become a popular research trend in the field of pesticide science in recent years. Chalcone is a simple scaffold for a number of natural compounds and is extensively found in plants. Due to the presence of active α, β-unsaturated carbonyl groups, chalcone and its derivatives display a wide array of biological activities.

The ABCG2 transporter is an efflux pump that can transport various anticancer drugs and is strongly associated with multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer. A promising strategy to combat MDR mediated by this transporter is through functional inhibition. However, there are currently no potent selective ABCG2 inhibitors in clinical trials.

This study presents an eco-friendly strategy to enhance copper ion recovery from industrial wastewater through zinc cementation, utilizing natural chalcone-derived pyrazolo-quinoxaline compounds as organic accelerators. These bio-based additives notably improve recovery efficiency by promoting dendritic copper deposition, which enhances surface reactivity and mass transfer rates. For the first time, this research combines quantum chemical analysis with a dimensionless model (Sh = 0.
