Novel magnetic nanoparticles coated with silica and gold were successfully synthesized (Lyon et al.,
2004) and further functionalized with three carbon chain length linker i.e. 3-PPA (3Phosphonopropionic acid) for immobilization of -amylase enzyme via covalent amide linkage
between the carboxylic group of the linker and amine group of the -amylase (Sahoo et al., 2011).
Characterization was doneusingdifferent biophysical techniques such as Fourier transform infrared
spectroscopy (FT-IR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy(SEM),
dynamic light scattering (DLS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Effect of various limiting factors such as
substrate concentration, temperature, and pH on the catalytic activity of enzyme was thoroughly
investigated. The optimum pH for free and immobilized enzyme was found unaffected (7.0), whereas
optimum temperature for the enzyme activity was increased from 60C for free enzyme to 80C for
immobilized counterpart. The gains in catalytic attributes concomitant to ease of recovery of the
enzyme reflect the potential of the approach and the product to be useful for the enzymatic
bioprocessing. The MichaelisMenten constant (Km) value of the immobilized -amylase was higher
than that of free -amylase,whereas maximum velocity (V max), and turn over number (Kcat), values were
almost similar. Immobilized -amylase maintained 60% of the enzyme activity even after recycling ten
times.
Fig.1 Graphical representation shows immobilized enzyme catalytic activity and their recovery after the
completion of the catalytic reaction using a simple magnet.

These examples contribute to a paradigm shift in our understanding of the elasticity of molecular
crystals and also provide direct mechanistic insight into the structural perturbations at the limits of the
susceptibility of ordered matter to internal and external mechanical force. As the relevance of motility
and reshaping of molecular crystals is being recognized by the crystal research community as a
demonstration of a very basic concept-conversion of thermal or light energy into work, a new and
exciting crystal chemistry around mechanically responsive single crystals rapidly unfolds.

An extractive spectrophotometric method has been developed for the trace determination of
molybdenum (VI) using a newly synthesized benzopyran derivative , 3-hydroxy-2- [-3- (4methoxyphenyl) -1-phenyl - 4 pyrazolyl ] - 4 - oxo - 4H 1 - benzopyran (HMPPB). The method
involves formation of a 1:2 ( M:L ) complex between Mo (VI) and HMPPB from 0.02 0.06 M
H2SO4 medium. The yellow Mo (VI) HMPPB complex is easily extractable into carbon tetrachloride
with 100 % extraction and exhibits maximum absorbance in the wavelength region 417 423 nm. The
method is made sensitive and selective to produce best extraction results by studying and optimizing
various parameters of acidity , reagent concentration , equilibration time and effect of diverse ions. The
optimized method shows a good range of linearity ( 0 1.4 g Mo (VI) ml-1) , sensitivity ( 0.0018 g
Mo(VI) cm-2) , limit of detection ( 0.104 g Mo ml -1 ), the correlation coefficient
( 0.9974 ) ,
accuracy and reproducibility ( 0.0020 absorbance units ). The proposed method is satisfactorily
applied to the extraction and determination of molybdenum (VI) from different synthetic and technical

There are recent chemistries associated with M-O2 coordination complexes with NO 1 and the reaction
of M-NOs with oxygen or/ superoxide2, 3. But till now, no one determined the real mechanism of the
reaction, as there are only few reports available on the NOD reactions of M-O2, and why the different
products (NO3 and/or NO2) formed from M-PNs,? In addition to NOD reactions of M-O2 adducts, Mnitrosyls (M-NOs) will be synthesized and then allow to react with different oxidants to elucidate the
correct mechanism of NOD reactions. The NOD reactions, therefore, subdivided in two categories as
follows.

Human angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is an important drug target because of its role in
cardiovascular disease and diabetic nephropathy. Somatic ACE comprises two homologous domains (N
and C) in which inhibition of N-domain could be useful in the treatment of conditions relating to
excessive tissue fibrosis without affecting blood pressure.1-2 In present work we synthesised some novel
ketomethylene analogues and evaluated for their in vitro inhibition activity. Keto-ACE analogues
having an aspartate residue at the P2 position resulted in a ~1000-fold change in N-selective inhibition
compared to the parent compound. In this work, we aim to extrapolate synthesis and biological
evaluation of ketomethylene derivatives.

Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) have been extensively studied during the last two decades. Catalytic
Chemical Vapour Deposition (CCVD) is one of the most suitable methods for the synthesis of carbon
nanomaterials of various crystallographic configurations. The method is simple and economic for
synthesizing at low temperature and ambient pressure. CVD reactions are strongly affected by
experimental parameters, such as reaction temperature, pressure, precursor composition, catalyst and
concentration. The different morphologies of CNTs derived from same precursor are found by little
change in temperature and catalyst. Generally at low temperature (600-900 C) yields Multi Walled
Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs), whereas at higher temperature (900-1200 C) reaction forms Single
Walled Carbon Naotubes (SWCNTs) growth (Fig. 1) Bhattacharjee and et al [1]. In this paper, a typical
thermal CVD process for the synthesis of SWCNts and parameters such as catalysts, substrates (support
materials), carbon precursor and growth temperature are discussed. The methods of purification and
characterization are also described.

We have to go back to the stage when after Big-Bang the earth separated out from the Sun some 4.6
billion years ago. Since then the stairway history of the earth or its progress in life can be traced from
several geological era ( Fig.1). 570 million years ago something happened to initiate the change of the
atmosphere of the earth. The primitive photosynthetic evolution started with the end of mineral origin
of chemical evolution .Chemists are still in all out search for combining all available elements and
compounds to get improved molecules and materials which will help and ease out the burden of human
on this earth by providing energy , food , medicine and also trying to rectify the mishap done earlier by
our poor knowledge with our environment .Presently we are improving the environment so that we can
sustain our lives with better air and water.
For our day to day use, from tooth paste to TV screen or mobile battery or BMW car or aircraft to
missile or anything we need are created by composite materials which we produced only by
chemical processes and this stresses the service of chemistry in human endeavor.

Abenquines are natural quinones, bearing both an N-acetyl and an amino acid moiety (Fig. 1). These
compounds were recently isolated from the fermentation broth of a Streptomyces sp. found in the
Chilean highland of the Atacama desert [1], and were synthesized for the first time by our group [2].
Abenquines A, B2 and D in the concentracion range of 10 -6 to 10-4M were found to progressively
inhibit the growth of Synechococcus elongatus PCC 6301 [2].

Basidalin 1 (Fig 1) is a small but richly functionalized antibiotic and cytotoxic, first isolated in 1983
from the fungus Leucoagaricus naucina [1], and also from Leucoagaricus cameifolia [2]. It has unique
tetronamide structure, including the Z-geometry of the formylmethylidene moiety. Notwithstanding the
frequent use of tetronamides in chemical, pharmaceutical, and agrochemical research, basidalin holds
the prominent position of being the first, and to date only, tetronamide known to occur in nature [3].
These attributes have stimulated considerable interest not only in the synthesis of 1 but also in a variety
of its analogues. However, while certain analogues have succumbed to synthesis, basidalin itself has so
far proven remarkably elusive [4].

HF/6-31G calculations have been performed on the electronic structure of L and D-Alanine. Net atomic
charges, dipole moment and total energy of L and D-Alanine were compared in order to explore the
finer details of these molecules. Comparison shows that redistribution of charges on L-Alanine is over
larger range (- 0.852e to 0.852e) as compared to D- Alanine from this we concluded that L- Alanine is
more reactive as compared to D-Alanine as it offer more reactive sites and having more energy as
compared to D-Alanine. Further comparison of total energy from the ADMP calculations with DFT
(B3LYP) at 6-31G level explains the high reactivity of L-Alanine. From this study it is very clear that
why L-Alanine helps the body to convert glucose into energy and also helps to eliminate excess toxins
from the liver.

A comparative study on the structural properties of Tb incorporated ZnO nanoparticles have been
performed. The structural properties were investigated using X-ray diffraction, X-ray Fine structure and
XPS studies. XRD studies performed on these samples reveals that the ZnO lattice systematically

shows a contraction up to Tb mole fraction with x=0.04 beyond which the lattice expands with
increasing x [1]. The experimental EXAFS data is fitted with theoretically generated spectra assuming
that Tb ions have substituted Zn ions in a wurtzite lattice of ZnO. Tb-O bond lengths are found to be
more than the Zn-O bond length, which is due to higher ionic radius of Tb than Zn. The study also
indicates that Tb incorporates in different configuration than only substituting Zn ion in this case. This
study also show that the disorder factor decreases with the increase in the Tb doping concentration.
XPS result confirms the presence of many oxygen species attached to the surface of these ZnO
nanoparticles (in the form of Tb-O-Tb and Zn-O-Tb bonds) which accumulates on the surface on these
nanoparticles, further producing a contraction in the lattice [2,3]. It is noteworthy that according to the
XRD, EXAFS and XPS studies performed on these nanoparticles, the results confirm the presence of
Tb ions on the surface of the nanoparticles for Tb mole fraction up to x<0.04. Further increase in the Tb
mole fraction results in the core incorporation of these ions in the lattice.
Keywords: Tb ions, EXAFS, Surface strain, ZnO nanoparticles.

Benzimidazole is an important heterocyclic nucleus in the field of medicinal chemistry. The most
prominent benzimidazole compound in nature is N-ribosyldimethylbenzimidazole, which serves as an
axial ligand for cobalt in vitamin B12. The versatile nature of benzimidazole makes it a highly explored
molecule in medicinal chemistry. A number of pharmacological activities are associated with
benzimidazole derivatives such as anthelmintic, antiulcer, antipsychotic, proton pump inhibitor, antianxiety, anti-emetic and sedative, vasodilator, anticancer, analgesic, antihistaminic, antifungal, antiviral
and antimicrobial.
Hydrazine and its derivatives are important class of organic compound that have wide applications in
the field of medicinal chemistry. A number of derivatives of hydrazones have been prepared and
evaluated for various pharmacological activities such as anticonvulsant, antioxidant, hormone
antagonist, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antiplatelet, antimalarial, antimicrobial, antitumor,
vasodilator, antiviral, and anti-trypanosomal. A novel benzimidazole-1-substituted hydrazide
derivatives have been synthesized from o-phenylenediamine by condensation with aromatic carboxylic
acids in acidic media followed by reaction with ethyl chloroacetate in the presence of base. The ester
derivatives were then reacted with hydrazine hydrate followed by reaction with aromatic aldehydes to
form benzimidazole-1-substituted hydrazides. The in vitro antimicrobial activity of synthesized
derivatives was evaluated by tube dilution method against E. coli and S. aureus. The antibacterial
studies revealed that the compound with p-hydroxy group on aromatic rings attached to benzimidazole
nucleus displayed more potency. The study revealed that these compounds have potential antibacterial
activity and the structure modification may lead to the development of more potent and safe
antimicrobial agents.

analyzed and it was observed that these 6 sites have Swift skew value greater than 0.2 at periods above
0.001 s. The Phase Sensitive Skew (PSS) parameter for these 6 sites was analyzed and it was observed
that only 4 sites have PSS value greater than 0.3 at periods above 0.1 s. The Groom-Bailey
decomposition was also used at these 6 sites. It was observed that shear was the more distorted
parameter at these sites. The twist and shear values in the entire period range (0.001 s to 1000 s) at
these sites are high. On the basis of these analyses, it can be inferred that these 6 MT sites show strong

In this study was focused on the effects of agricultural chemicals and fertilizers on the aquatic
ecosystem. Moreover it targeted the most prevalent and dangerous agricultural pollutants causes of the
pollution and the extent of the damages cause by these pollutants on the ecosystem as a whole.
Laboratory and field testing of water soil plants and animal samples using various and standard
methods of analysis proved that the level of the important heavy metals like lead nitrates phosphates
arsenic iron were above toxic limit which contributed to toxicity. The results proved that toxicity varied
linearly with the crop activities. With an increase in the toxicity the aquatic ecosystem was found to be
unstable and in deteriorated state. The study conclusively proves that the aquatic water bodies were
contaminated by agricultural pollutants (nutrient fertilizers and chemical fertilizers). Overflow of water
careless handling of chemicals by laborers spillage runoff and erosion lead to the toxicity of the heavy
metals hence affected the quality of the water soil and aquatic life.

During the last decade mesoporous silica based hydrophilic materials composites were extensively used
in humidity sensing applications. Despite the fact that, earlier used chemical method for loading the
hydrophilic materials in the channel of mesoporous silicas is hard to guarantee their homogeneous
dispersion and there is no strong bonding between the host and guest materials. To unravel above
problems, mesoporous silicas were chemically modified with inorganic materials composites using
hydrothermal method. The chemical and porous structures of the obtained hybrid mesoporous materials
were characterized by High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM), Fourier
Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Low Angle XRD, High Angle XRD and N2 adsorption
desorption analysis including surface area analysis, pore size distribution and pore volume. The
humidity sensing applications of the sensors based on inorganic hybrid materials could effectively
enhance the sensing properties of mesoporous silicas.
The 3-hydroxychromones (3-HCs) derivatives are known to possess interesting fluorescence properties
due to the excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT). In the present study, the fluorescence
properties of 3-hydroxy-2-(4-methoxy phenyl)-4H-chromen-4-one were studied. The compounds
showed considerable native fluorescence when excited at 355 nm using a slit width of 5 nm. Interaction
with Al3+ resulted in significant enhancement of fluorescence intensity of the chromenone (3-Hydroxy2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4H-chromen-4-one peak. Based on these interactions, method has been
developed for the spectrofluorimetric determination of microamounts of Al+3. The emission spectra as
well as synchronous spectra of the chromenone-Al3+ complexes were recorded. The synchronous
spectra were recorded using an excitation wavelength of 355 nm and value of 60. The various
parameters affecting the fluorescence intensity of the system including effect of pH, effect of addition
order of reagents, stability time were optimised. Calibration graph was plotted and regression equation
was determined. The fluorescence intensity F was found to vary linearly with concentration of Al3+ in
the range 1x10-7-1x10-6 M. Studies on the interference caused by other common metal ions on the
determination of the proposed metals were also carried out and change in fluorescence intensity due to
these metals was determined at fixed concentrations. The methods were applied for the determination
of Al3+ in environmental water samples. The recovery values were determined and they indicated that
the method can be successfully used for the determination of Al3+ in environmental water samples.

their use is one of the most important aims of green chemistry. In order for the solvent to be called
green, it must be biodegradable, non-toxic and capable of being burnt at the end of its life without
adding pollutants to the atmosphere. Solvents that have been suggested to be green solvents includes
water supercritical fluids, gas expanded liquids, ionic liquids, liquid polymers and solvents derived

Recent trends in electrochemical immunoassays have paved the way for metal nanoparticles bursting as
a very promising technique for sensitive evaluation. In this work, we report the competence of
bioconjugated CdTe quantum dot (QD) and gold nanoparticle (GNP) for the detection of Vi capsular
polysaccharide antigen of Salmonella Typhi. The QD and GNP were bioconjugated with anti-Vi
antibody and characterized to quantify the loading of respective nanoparticles. Cadmium chloride and
gold chloride reference standards were used for the evaluation of the respective metal atoms in the
nanobioprobes. The bursting of QD and GNP released 6.91 nmol of cadmium and 83.21 nmol of gold
ions in 1 L each, whereas, the anti-Vi nanobioprobe bursting resulted in the release of 17.29 nmol of
cadmium and 34.75 nmol of gold atoms per 1 g of antibody. The results are indicative of
conjugation of multiple QDs per antibody molecule in marked contrast to the GNPs which can interact
and bind with many antibodies owing to its larger size. CdTeIgG nanobioprobe was, therefore, made
use for developing a new sandwich type stripping voltammetry immunoassay in the presence of
polymyxin B, a cationic receptor molecule, as a capture molecule. The stripping response observed was
much convincing in the range 1 ng to 625 ng of Vi antigen indicating feasibility and reliability of the
QD based stripping assay. The results provided an insight into the governing factors of
immunostripping inferring the potency of biofunctionalized semiconductor/inorganic nanodots for

atomic charges, dipole moment and total energy of aspirin and paracetamol were compared in order to
explore the finer details of these molecules. Comparison shows that redistribution of charges on aspirin
is over larger range (- 0.603e to 0.603e) as compared to paracetamol from this we concluded that
Aspirin is more reactive as compared to Paracetamol as it offer more reactive sites and having more
energy as compared to Paracetamol. Further comparison of total energy from the ADMP calculations
with DFT (B3LYP) at 6-31G level explains the high reactivity of Aspirin. From this study it is very
clear that why it inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins responsible for pain and Paracetamol is a poor
inhibitor of prostaglandins synthesis.

Well dispersed CuO nanospheres (~ 5 nm) and nanorods were synthesized within the channels of
mesoporous SBA-15 (pore size ~8 nm) by a hydrothermal method using Pluronic P123 as a structure
directing agent followed by surface modification with APTMS. It was found that that the morphology
of embedded CuO nanospecies was strongly influenced by the extent of Cu impregnation. Different
characterization techniques viz., Powder XRD, BET, DRS, XPS, TEM and elemental mapping studies

were used to characterize the prepared materials. Powder XRD and SEM studies studies confirmed the
presence of CuO nanoparticles within the mesoporous sieves. Elemental mapping depicted the uniform
distribution of CuO nanoparticles on the surface of SBA-15. Moreover, the catalytic activity was found
to increase as a function of Cu loading with an increase in Cu impregnation from 1-10 wt. %
respectively. Among the different synthesized composites, 10 wt. % CuO/ap-SBA-15 catalyst exhibited
the highest catalytic activity for the reduction of different nitroaromatics.

conjugates against cell-free virus. Myristoyl-Glu(3TC)-FLT (EC50 = 0.3-0.6 M) and myristoylGlu(FTC)-FLT ( EC50 = 0.1-0.4 M) conjugates were the most active glutamate-dinucleoside
conjugates. A trinucleoside glutamate derivative containing AZT, FLT, and 3TC (EC 50 = 0.9-1.4 M)
exhibited higher anti-HIV activity than AZT and 3TC against cell-free virus. This Compound also
exhibited higher anti-HIV activity against multi-drug (IC50 = 5.9 nM) and NNRTI (IC50 = 12.9 nM)
resistant viruses when compared with its parent nucleosides. These results where glutamate conjugates
of 2-3 nucleosides can be used to generate potent anti-HIV agents for therapeutic and preventive
purposes will be discussed.

The synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles has attracted considerable interest because of their unique
properties and potential applications in a variety of solid state devices, catalytic media etc. By using
water-in-oil (w/o) microemulsions, nanodroplets of water were used as chemical reactor to synthesize
nanoparticles of zinc oxide. Addition of reducing agent NH4OH and zinc salt followed by heat
treatment results in the formation of zinc oxide nanoparticles (NPs).On increasing annealing
temperature of ZnO NPs, crystallize size increases which, in turn, decreases the band gap energy and
photocatalytic degradation efficiency of phenol. Furthermore, crystallize size also affects the
antimicrobial activity of ZnO NPs. It has been observed that on increasing annealing temperature,
crystallize size increases which results in the decrement of antimicrobial activity.

(GHG) emission). Hence, alternative methods are gaining importance among which oxidative
desulfurization (ODS) has attracted worldwide attention due to inherent advantages like mild reaction
conditions and low cost.
In ODS, sulfur compounds present in fuels are oxidized to more polar sulfones / sulfoxides to facilitate
their removal by solvent extraction or adsorption. Various oxidation systems have been reported in the
literature for this transformation. Among these oxidants like hydrogen peroxide (H 2O2) and carboxylic
acid as catalyst 3-5. For the chemical industry, it becomes more and more important to develop cleaner
technologies. Solvent extraction processes are used to separate sulfones / sulfoxides from oxidized
fuels. These processes required suitable and selective solvents for separation of oxidized sulfur
compounds from petroleum feedstocks.
We, at IIP carried out certain oxidation studies and report the results on oxidation of sulfur compounds
present in gas oil using carboxylic acid / H 2O2 system. Extent of sulfur removal in gas oil after
oxidative desulfurization was monitored by sulfur analysis. Oxidation and solvent extraction reduced
sulfur in gas oil from 1.5% to 0.20% in single stage batch extractor.

Bacteriophages are obligate parasites that infect and hijack the cellular machinery of a host bacterium
for their own growth and multiplication. These are an important class of bio-recognition elements that
use their tail proteins to recognize the host bacterium with target specificity to the strain level. The
bacteriophages possess several advantages compared to the conventional antibodies used in biosensors,
including, high stability in variable environmental conditions (e.g., change in pH / temperature),
differentiation between the viable and dead cells, no requirement of sample pre-processing, self-signal
amplification and a favourable cost of device production. Recently, some researchers have proposed the
applications of bacteriophage immobilized carbon electrodes for electrochemical detection of bacteria
based on the bacterial lysis process requiring longer growth periods. Fluorescence based sensing of
bacteria has also been proposed using different bacteriophage conjugated nanomaterials, such as
nanoparticles, quantum dots, organic dyes, etc. However, since the size of bacteriophages is quite larger
than the small sized quantum dots or nanoparticles, they may not produce an effective design of a
fluorescent bacteriophage sensor. In the present work, we have proposed the development of a
bacteriophage conjugated MOF opto-sensor for rapid detection of Staphylococcus arlettae.
Luminescent metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have been proposed for several, biological

applications, including molecular sensing, drug delivery, imaging, etc. The particle size properties of
the MOFs are tunable from nanosize to microsize based on different synthesis procedures. Further, the
large surface area and high stability (thermal and mechanical) of MOFs aid in higher biomolecule
loading. Here, a micron-sized fluorescent metal organic framework IRMOF-3 (amine group containing
MOF), which is made up of zinc ions (as metal unit) and amino terephthalic acid (as organic linker),
has been explored. The bacteriophageIRMOF biosensor may have advantageous properties, such as
low cytotoxicity, rapid response, high stability and favourable cost, it may be possible to advocate its
use as a real-world and practically viable bacterial sensor. The proposed bacteriophage based optosensor provided a low detection limit (100 cfu/mL) along with specificity in the detection with respect
to other some non-specific bacteria, e.g. S. aureus and E. coli.

also be the possibility that nematodes lose their motility in such soils having neem extract, because
baermanns funnel method chosen to extract nematodes is based on active movement of nematodes.
Hence it cannot be said that whether the nematodes were killed or were immobilized. To determine,
whether leaf powder of plants exhibited nematicidal or paradoxical activity, similar experiment as
above was carried with an exception that decanting and sieving method was followed to obtain total
nematodes in the soil samples. When extracted nematodes from such samples were examined under
stereomicroscope, it was found that most nematodes from control soil sample(untreated) exhibited
sigmoidal movements and were vermiform. However nematodes from neem treated samples, exhibited
sluggish movement and were J shaped. Nematode count having straight slender body was nearly
equivalent in both the treated and non treated samples. Present study though is not aimed at increasing
the mortality of nematodes or nematicidal activity of biologically active compounds, however
strengthens our belief in using plant products as amendment to soil in order manage nematode attack
beyond parasitic threshold limits.

In continuation of our efforts to find new biologically active agents, a regioselective synthesis of a
series of 2-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-1-arylethanones 4a-k has been achieved under facile,
extremely mild and greener reaction conditions with excellent yields. The structures of the compounds
were established on the basis of a combined use of IR, NMR (1H, 13C) spectroscopy, mass
spectrometry and elemental analysis. All the compounds were evaluated for their anticancer activities.
To explore the biological potential, the compounds were screened for their cytotoxic activity on colon
(HCT116 and HT29), prostate (DU145), ovarian (SKOV3) and lung (A549) cancer cell lines. The
88
NCRACS-2016
compound 4j was found to be cytotoxic to all the cancer cell lines, except SKOV3, with more
selectivity towards the colon cancer cell lines (HCT116, HT29) and A549 lung cancer cell line. On
A549 lung cancer cell line, 4j and 4k exhibited similar potency as carboplatin in inhibiting cell
viability. The details of the work will be presented in the poster presentation session.

A novel and extensive set of 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazolines has been synthesized from
1,3diaryl/heteroarylprop-2-ene-1-ones and evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxicity against two cancer
cell lines, one human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 and hepatocarcinoma cell line Hep-G2. The
structure-activity relationship studies of the synthesized compounds revealed that modifications at R 1
and R2 positions of the pyrazoline ring affects the binding of acetyl pyrazoline derivatives with these
cell lines. All the tested compounds showed good anticancer activities. Amongst the compounds, 1acetyl-5-(3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-3-(thien-2-yl)-2-pyrazoline and 1-acetyl-5-(3-methyl-1phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-pyrazoline strongly inhibited the progression of MDAMB-231 and Hep-G2 cell lines with IC50 value of 1.46 & 3.17 and 5.7 & 3.9 m respectively.
Therefore, structural modification or as such these1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazoline would act as
promising anticancer agents in future.

Industrialization and modernization has made a strong demand of steel and their maintenance for a
strong infrastructure for every country in the race of survival, stabilization, growth and competition.
Atmospheric corrosion may cause some dangerous and expensive damage to everything from
automobiles, home appliances, water systems to pipelines, bridges and public buildings like other
natural hazards such as earthquakes or several weather disturbances. Atmospheric corrosion can
aggressively accelerate the rate of degradation of steel during their manufacturing, processing, storage
and transportation. In these cases, traditional methods to prevent corrosion are not suitable which
provide scope of vapour phase corrosion inhibitors in industries, defense and daily life. Synergistic
effect of Tetrahydrofuran (THF) was tested for mild steel in different aggressive conditions like
atmospheric condition, SO2 environment and salty environment with aliphatic (Tetramethylenediamine
and 1-Benzylimidazole) and aromatic amines (N-Ethylaniline, 1-Benzylimidazole) by Vapour Pressure

Ground water and surface water sources being used for drinking purpose get contaminated due to
industrialization waste, hazardous waste, dyes, toxic chemicals, heavy metal along with pesticides.
Crop protection measures in agriculture and horticulture utilize large amount of pesticides, which are
widely used as insecticides, fungicides, nematocides, herbicides or sprout inhibitors on agricultural
crops and on residential lawns and gardens by homeowners and professionals. Due to leaching, the
movement of pesticides takes place with water downward through soil or rock. When water moving
downward from the surface, comes into contact with hazardous chemicals like pesticides, these are
carried along with the water until they eventually reach the groundwater and pollutes it. Exposure to
pesticides both occupationally and environmentally causes a range of human health problems and hence
there is challenge to remove the pesticides from water. In the paper, an overview of pesticides in water
in India is presented. The current scenario of pesticides in water and its various treatment as well as
removal methods are discussed. Each method has been described with advantages and limitations in
terms of removing the pollutants, efficiency and economical effectiveness. The main focus of the study
is on pesticides removal by adsorption using low cost adsorbents developed from cheaply available
bulk industrial wastes, owing to low energy requirement and high efficiency for pollutants uptake for
producing pure water.

Nano particles are of ample interest for researchers from a wide range of fields including magnetic
fluids, catalysis, biotechnology/biomedicine. There are number of methods which have been developed
for the synthesis of nanoparticles of various sizes, shapes and compositions having successful
application in the areas listed above is highly dependent on the stability of the particles under different
conditions. In most of the cases , the particles perform best when the size of the nanoparticles is below
a critical value, which is dependent on the material but is typically around 1020 nm. Synthesis of
metal oxide nanoparticles have been achieved through Co-Precipitation, Thermal Decomposition,
micro-emulsion , hydrothermal synthesis and many other processes . The synthetic approach can be any
one of the methods given above synthesizing nanoparticles which give good yield and controlled sized
nanoparticles. In our work we have synthesised cobalt and iron nanoparticles stabilized using a bio
polymer. Some results are still awaited to reveal the name of the biopolymer used in the synthesis.
Characterisations are mainly done using UV visible double beam spectrophotometer, TEM, SEM and

paper. The results show that Cd improves the Compressive strength as well as the bulk density of the
mortar samples. The leaching studies shows that the concentration of cadmium is almost negligible in
the leachate analysed by the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer and as the concentration increases
in the mortar samples the leaching of cadmium ions decreased it shows all the added cadmium ions gets
adsorbed on the surface of cement. Scanning electron microscopic studies shows that the C-S-H gel
phases are denser than that of control samples and C-S-H phases are responsible for the improved
compressive strength of cement samples.

The dioxygenation reaction is proposed to occur via a dissociative pathway, as proposed in the NOtransfer reaction, and via the formation of a Co(II)-peroxynitrite intermediate, based on the observation
of phenol ring nitration. In contrast, [(12-TMC)CoIII(NO)]2+ does not react with O2. Thus, the present
results demonstrate unambiguously that the NO-transfer/dioxygenation reactivity of the cobalt(III)nitrosyl complexes bearing TMC ligands are significantly influenced by the ring size of the TMC
ligands and/or the spin state of cobalt ion..

Consuming food without table salt would be unthinkable for most of us. But had any one thought does
salt just enhance taste or sodium and chloride ions, have other important roles in our body as well. The
contraction and relaxation of heart muscle cells is precisely regulated by electrical pulses generated as
sodium, potassium and calcium ions that pass through complex molecular channels inside the cell.
Similarly there are numerous example in nature where chemical ions are known to play key body
functions and they are the important constituents of various body parts and organelles. In fact 99 % of
human body is made up of just four elements i.e. hydrogen, oxygen, carbon and nitrogen. Others like
copper, cobalt, zinc and iron etc. are present on much smaller quantities. Dietary deficiency of chemical
ions or their improper regulation leads to diseases like potassium deficiency (hypokaemia). Likewise
anaemia is associated with iron deficiency. Nature has selected both organic and inorganic constituents
to build the living organisms. With the progress of science we are now increasingly becoming aware of
the growing interface of chemistry and the living world.
Recent research highlights the
multidimensional role of various chemical elements in biological systems. A lot still remains to be
unravelled though. In conclusion numerous elements around us play an important role in chemistry of
life. As research will progress we will have better understanding of their role at a molecular level which
will help in better tomorrow.

The present work is a study of the phenomenon of clouding and aggregation behaviour of nonionic
surfactant, Triton X-100 (TX-100) in presence of additives. Non-ionic surfactants are known to
undergo phase separation when heated called as cloud point. The property of cloud point (CP) allows us
to understand the underlying complex behaviour of the surfactant system. The effect of various ionic
liquids (IL), complexing agent, 18 crown ether and the electrolyte, CsNO 3 on the cloud point of TX100 has been studied and compared to understand the salting in/salting out ability of these additives.
Further, the thermodynamic parameters such as standard free energies (G), standard enthalpies (H)
and standard entropies (S) of clouding have also been calculated from the data obtained. A distinct
change in CP and thermodynamic values for different systems helped us in interpretation of the changes
and interactions occurring in the surfactant system. CP for TX-100 was found to be decreasing with
increasing concentration but after a certain point, it continued to increase. Addition of CsNO 3 lowered
the CP of TX-100 noticeably which is an example of salting out effect. An increase in CP was visible
on addition of 18-Crown-6 and ionic liquids (IL) which further increased on o increasing the chain
lengths of ILs having the same counterion. G values for all the systems were positive that depicts the
non-spontaneity of clouding phenomenon. Enthalpy values varied from largely negative to largely
positive for different systems.
Keywords : Triton X-100, Thermodynamic Parameters, Cloud Point, Ionic Liquids, Aggregation.
