Iota carrageenan, a Sustainable polymer transformed into a nanogel formulation, by using environment friendly method for antitumor action
Abstract: In the pharmaceutical field, the utilization of polymers, both in their natural form and through chemical modifications, holds immense importance. In this context, a novel and eco-friendly method for the synthesis of nano carrageenan-based polymers has been developed. The efficacy of carrageenan in this domain is attributed to its crosslinking and biological properties, which are largely influenced by its sulfate ion content. This study aims to formulate nanogels via a …

Harnessing Marine and Agro-Waste Resources: Bioengineered Seaweed Polysaccharide–Coconut Films for Next-Generation Sustainable Packaging
Abstract: The increasing demand for biodegradable alternatives to petroleum-based plastics has led to significant interest in marine biopolymer-based packaging materials. This study focuses on the development of eco-friendly biocomposite films by reinforcing carrageenan, extracted from Kappaphycus alvarezii, with alkali-treated coconut at varying loadings (5%, 10%, and 15% w/w). The films were fabricated via solvent casting and subjected to comprehensive characterization. Mechanical analysis revealed substantial enhancement in tensile strength from 21.3 MPa …

Design, Synthesis, and Evaluation of Novel Quinazoline Derivatives as Anti-Inflammatory Agents
Abstract: Novel quinazoline derivatives are well-known heterocyclic scaffolds that are renowned for having a wide range of biological functions. A new quinazoline derivative was synthesized from anthranilic acid through a multi-step sequence involving amide formation, cyclization, and aromatic group substitution. The structure of the methoxy- and chloro-substituted final compound was confirmed by IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. Evaluation of synthesized molecules anti-inflammatory activity using paw edema caused by carrageenan paradigm in …
