6. Synthesis and Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Properties of β-Hydroxy Sulfides, Sulfoxides, and Sulfones Derived from Cardanol and Glycerol Derivatives
Natural and synthetic sulfur-bearing organic compounds have many applications in medicinal chemistry. This article reports the preparation of amphiphilic β-hydroxy sulfides, sulfoxides, and sulfones derived from cardanol and glycerol. Thiolysis of cardanol epoxide 3 with various thiols (4a-4j) in ethanol or water yielded the corresponding β-hydroxy sulfide

9. In vitro anti-aging activities of ginkgo biloba leaf extract and its chemical constituents
Abstract To determine in vitro anti-aging activity and identify the active chemical constituents in Ginkgo leaf extracts. The antioxidant properties of Ginkgo biloba leaves extracts were evaluated using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH) scavenging and 2,2’-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline)-6 sulfonic acid radical (ABTS) scavenging assays. The i

10. A review on medicinal plants used for treating ototoxicity and acoustic trauma induced hearing loss
Hearing loss induced by chemotherapy and acoustic trauma is mainly associated with two factors, free radical formation and apoptosis pathway activation. Despite numerous efforts on reducing the effects of these factors, no definite strategy is still determined to interfere with and control these processes. In recent studies, various protective agents, includ
