Organic Synthesis of 6-butyl-n-hydroxynaphthimide trifluoromethanesulfonic acid : Hydrogels have emerged as promising scaffolds in regenerative medicine for the delivery of biomolecules to promote healing. However, increasing evidence suggests that the context that biomolecules are presented to cells (e.g., as soluble verses tethered signals) can influence their bioactivity. A common approach to deliver biomolecules in hydrogels involves physically entrapping them within the network, such that they diffuse out over time to the surrounding tissues.

While simple and versatile, the release profiles in such system are highly dependent on the molecular weight of the entrapped molecule relative to the network structure, and it can be difficult to control the release of two different signals at independent rates. In some cases, supraphysiologically high loadings are used to achieve therapeutic local concentrations, but uncontrolled release can then cause deleterious off-target side effects. In vivo, many growth factors and cytokines are stored in the extracellular matrix (ECM) and released on demand as needed during development, growth, and wound healing. Thus, emerging strategies in biomaterial chemistry have focused on ways to tether or sequester biological signals and engineer these bioactive scaffolds to signal to delivered cells or endogenous cells. While many strategies exist to achieve tethering of peptides, protein, and small molecules, this review focuses on photochemical methods, and their usefulness as a mild reaction that proceeds with fast kinetics in aqueous solutions and at physiological conditions. Photo-click and photo-caging methods are particularly useful because one can direct light to specific regions of the hydrogel to achieve spatial patterning. Recent methods have even demonstrated reversible introduction of biomolecules to mimic the dynamic changes of native ECM, enabling researchers to explore how the spatial and dynamic context of biomolecular signals influences important cell functions.

This review will highlight how two photochemical methods have led to important advances in the tissue regeneration community, namely the thiol-ene photo-click reaction for bioconjugation and photocleavage reactions that allow for the removal of protecting groups. Specific examples will be highlighted where these methodologies have been used to engineer hydrogels that control and direct cell function with the aim of inspiring their use in regenerative Perspectives of medicinally privileged chalcone based metal coordination compounds for biomedical applications.Pharmacy, Nagpur, 440037, Maharashtra, India.Central University), Bilaspur, 495009, Chhattisgarh, India. Electronic address: Recent clinical reports have highlighted the increasing occurrence of drug resistance of known therapeutics. Particularly, antibiotic resistant microorganisms and multidrug resistance have posed a serious threat to health of the people. Since ages, metals and metal complexes have played key role in the development of contemporary chemotherapy.

Many organic compounds used in medicine do not have a purely organic mode of action and require traces of metal ions directly or indirectly for activation or biotransformation. For decades, the metallopharmaceuticals have attracted researchers across the globe due to their amplified therapeutic/modulatory effect by altering the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of the complexes towards biological receptors. Medicinally privileged natural and (semi)-synthetic chalcones have already been reported to possess a wide variety of pharmacological effects by modulating diverse molecular targets. The presence of carbonyl, hydroxyl, phenolic oxygen and/or heteroatom(s) in heterocyclic ring system makes them excellent chelating ligand for metal coordination. Particularly, the metal complexes of bidentate chalcone/Schiff base analogs and ferrocenyl chalcones have shown great potential. In this review, the chelating/coordinating property of substituted chalcones, the therapeutic, catalytic, chemosensing and photosensitizing potential of various metal-chalcone complexes, their structural features and structure activity relationships (SARs) have been highlighted. Further, the understanding of coordination mode, their stoichiometric characteristics, and mode of action(s), this review may be helpful for medicinal and bioinorganic chemists to design and develop novel, more potent, safe, selective and cost-effective chalcone-based coordination compounds for diverse biomedical Differences in the photosynthetic and physiological responses of Leymus chinensis to different levels of grazing intensity.
