Ferrite Nanoparticles as Catalysts in Organic Reactions: A Mini Review

Porphyrins as Catalysts in Scalable Organic Reactions.

Catalysis is a topic of continuous interest since it was discovered in chemistry centuries ago. Aiming at the advance of reactions for efficient processes, a number of approaches have been developed over the last 180 years, and more recently, porphyrins occupy an important role in this field. Porphyrins and metalloporphyrins are fascinating compounds which are involved in a number of synthetic ...

Zinc ferrite nanoparticles as MRI contrast agentsw

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful clinical imaging technique for the non-invasive diagnosis and posttherapy assessment of a variety of diseases. MRI contrast can be enhanced by the use of positive or negative contrast agents resulting in brighter (T1-weighted) or darker (T2-weighted) images, respectively. Superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles are T2 contrast agents that...

A Mini-Review on Iron Chelating Agents as a Promising Therapeutic Target in Treatment of Leishmaniasis

There is a high prevalence of infections caused by Leishmania parasites and increasing rate of drug resistance. Lack of successful treatment with existing drugs calls for new therapeutic approaches. The main strategy in treatment of leishmaniasis is creating apoptosis and eliminating different forms of the parasite. So far, numerous drugs with specific mechanisms including 14-α-demethylase enzy...
