Article Abstract
As a transmission medium and heating energy, microwave is widely favored due to its high efficiency, strong selectivity, and easy control. Here, the effects of different heating methods (conventional thermal induction (CI) and microwave induction (MI)) on the polymerization rate of polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCE) were investigated. Compared with CI, MI significantly boosted the polymerization rate (by approximately 51 times) and markedly decreased the activation energy (), from 46.83 kJ mol to 35.07 kJ mol. The polar of the monomers and initiators in the PCE synthesis contributes to varying permittivities and loss factors under the microwave field, which are influenced by their concentration and reaction temperature. The insights gained from the microwave thermal effects and the micro-kinetics of the PCE polymerization system are able to propose theoretical underpinnings for the industrial-scale application of microwave induction polymerization, potentially steering the synthesis of polymer materials towards a more efficient and cleaner process.

Isatin (1-indole-2,3-dione) is a privileged nitrogen-containing heterocyclic framework that has received considerable attention in anticancer drug discovery owing to its general biological behavior and structural diversity. This review focuses on isatin-heterocyclic hybrids as a valuable model in the development of new anti-cancer drugs that may reduce side effects and help overcome drug resistance, discussing their synthetic approaches and mechanism of action as apoptosis induction through kinase inhibition. With various chemical modifications, isatin had an excellent ability to build powerful isatin hybrids and conjugates targeting multiple oncogenic pathways.

Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) relies on the transfer of electron polarization to nuclei through microwave irradiation and is typically performed under cryogenic magic-angle spinning (MAS) at high magnetic fields. Gyrotrons are commonly used microwave sources in DNP because of their ability to produce high-power microwaves over a broad frequency range. An important step towards a more in-depth understanding of DNP mechanisms and rational optimization of DNP performance is the access to instrumentation, which can provide information about the DNP process.

Embracing drug design approaches including ring variation, substituent variation, and bioisosteric modifications, aminopyrazolones 2-7 and diaminopyrazoles 9-14 were synthesized as dual potent CDK-2 and CA IX inhibitors for the first time. The eco-friendly preparation of the target analogs was performed by three procedures: conventional, grinding, and microwave-assisted methods. The synthesized congeners were estimated for their antitumor effect against breast MCF-7, hepatocellular HepG2, and colon HCT-116 cells where the aminopyrazolones 4 and 7 presented significant cytotoxicity against the examined carcinomas.

Introduction: The theranostic potential of taurine-derived carbon dots (Tau/CDs) in colorectal cancer (CRC) remains largely unexplored, despite their promising physicochemical and biological properties.
Methods: In this study, Tau/CDs were synthesized via a microwave-assisted irradiation method, employing citric acid as the carbon source, urea as the nitrogen source, and taurine (Tau) as the dopant. Comprehensive physicochemical characterization and biocompatibility assessments were performed both in vitro and in vivo.
