New bile acid-based amino sterols were synthesized in good yields from C-3 beta-oxiranes as key intermediates. These derivatives were evaluated for their in vitro antimicrobial properties against human pathogens. These c...
By using podophyllotoxin as a lead compound, eight novel esters of 2-chloropodophyllotoxin were designed, semisynthesized, and preliminarily evaluated for their insecticidal activity against the pre-third-instar larvae o...
Antioxidant ability of the water-soluble derivative of fullerene (C60), prepared by high-degree hydroxylation [C60-(OH)(32)center dot 8H(2)O] or C60/gamma-cyclodextrin (1:2 mol/mol) clathrate formation [C60/(gamma-CD)(2)...
