Nutritional Status, Bioactive Properties & Therapeutic Efficacy of Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Obtained by Green Synthetic Routes
Abstract: Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), particularly omega-3 (n-3) fatty acids like eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), are crucial for human health. They support structural brain development, visual acuity, and cardiovascular function, while also exhibiting potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. Historically, marine fish oil has been the primary dietary source of these essential fatty acids. However, escalating concerns regarding ecological environmental impacts, the oceanic bioaccumulation of heavy metal contaminants, …

Azepines, Chemistry, Synthesis and Reactions
Abstract: Azepines, which consist of a seven-membered cyclic compound featuring six carbon atoms, an additional nitrogen atom, and no double bonds between carbons, form a diverse group within organic chemistry. The fully hydrated form of this compound is called azepam (C6H13N). Compounds and their variants play crucial roles in pharmaceutical research due to their biologic attributes like cancer-fighting, bacteria-killing, fungus-busting, virus-suppressing, and inflammation-reducing capabilities. Various organic molecules found within nature draw …
