    ANTIOXIDANT (IN VITRO), ANTIDIABETIC (IN VITRO) AND PHOTOCATALYTIC ACTIVITY OF COSTUS SPECIOSUS LEAF EXTRACT ASSISTED CS-AG-TIO2 COMPOSITES
    (Springer Link, 2019-10-24) Chinnasamy, Surya; Nayagam, Agnel Arul John; Venkatesan, Pandiyan; Parasuraman, Amutha; Abílio José, Fraga do Nascimento Sobral; Balu, Krishnakumar
    The researchers have currently targeted bio-synthesis nanoparticles (NPs) and their potential applications toward bio and photocatalytic field. The in vitro antidiabetic activity of noble metal modified TiO2 is really scare in literature. In the present work, green synthesis of CS-Ag nanoparticles was achieved through Costus speciosus (Crape ginger, an Indian ornamental plant, has long been medicinally used in traditional systems of medicine) leaf extract, and followed by solvothermal synthesis of CS-Ag-TiO2 composites. The prepared nanocomposites effectively utilized for in vitro antioxidant, in vitro antidiabetic study and azo dye AB 1 degradation under visible light.

    BICL3-MODIFIED PERLITE AS AN EFFECTIVE CATALYST FOR SELECTIVE ORGANIC TRANSFORMATIONS: A GREEN PROTOCOL
    (Springer Link, 2019-05-02) Kannan, Brindha; Parasuraman, Amutha; Balu, Krishnakumar; Abílio José, Fraga do Nascimento Sobral
    A new perlite supported Bismuth Chloride (BiCl3) was used as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds viz., quinoxalines and dihydropyrimidinones. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT–IR), scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectra, X-ray diffractometry, thermogravimetric analysis and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area analytical techniques were employed to characterize the prepared catalyst. Initially, the catalytic activity of the prepared BiCl3-Perlite was tested towards synthesis of simple quinoxaline derivatives at room temperature. The effect of solvent in the preparation of quinoxaline was also examined. The formed products were confirmed by their physical (melting point) and spectral data (FT–IR, 1H and 13C-NMR). In order to implement the activity of the BiCl3-Perlite catalyst, a multicomponent reaction was adopted for synthesis of dihydropyrimidinones under solvent free conditions in a micro oven. The use of recyclable heterogeneous solid acid catalyst makes the reaction simple with minimum chemical waste, shorter reaction time, easy workup and products in good yield.
