Ultrasound-assisted biosynthesis of CuO-NPs using brown alga Cystoseira trinodis: Characterization, photocatalytic AOP, DPPH scavenging and antibacterial investigations

Cytotoxic hydroazulene diterpenes from the brown alga Cystoseira myrica.

Cytotoxicity-guided fractionation of the alcohol extract of the brown alga, Cystoseira myrica, afforded four new cytotoxic hydroazulene diterpenes, dictyone acetate (2), dictyol F monoacetate (4), isodictytriol monoacetate (6), and cystoseirol monoacetate (8), together with two known cytotoxic hydroazulene diterpenes, pachydictyol A (1) and dictyone (3). The constitution of each isolated compou...

Hypolipidaemic Effect of Acanthophora Spicifera (red Alga) and Cystoseira Trinode (brown Alga) on Albino Rats

The polysaccharides of Acanthophora spicifera and Cystoseira trinode were isolated and their components identified using different chemical and spectral techniques. Their effects were evaluated for the first time on hyperlipidemic rats. Atorvastatin Ca (Lipitor) was used as a reference drug. Results revealed that the polysaccharides isolated were of sulfate type. Acanthophora spicifera lowered ...

Synthesis and Characterization of Nanostructured CuO/CeO2 Catalysts via Ultrasound Assisted Techniques used for Selective Oxidation of CO

Ultrasound Assisted Green Synthesis and Characterization of Graphene Oxide

   Graphene oxide (GO) was prepared by an improved green chemical method using graphite flakes, KMnO4, a mixture of H2SO4/H3PO4, H2O2 and HCl. In several stages, ultrasound was used to separate the oxidized layers of GO. The use of ultrasound optimizes the effect of the reacting agents, decreasing the required amou...
