A practical Brønsted acid promoted benzylic C-H functionalization of 2-methylazaarenes and nucleophilic addition to aldehydes was developed in good to excellent yields. A six-membered hydrogen-bonding transition state is proposed to be crucial for the reaction. Ready availability of the two

Two new rhodamine based probes 1 and 2 for the detection of Fe(3+) were synthesized and their selectivity towards Fe(3+) ions in the presence of other competitive metal ions tested. The probe 1 formed a coloured complex with Fe(3+) as

A series of carboxamidoquinoline-based fluorescent sensors (the AQZ family) were synthesized and characterized. The AQZ family members were highly soluble in water and showed good selectivity for Zn(2+)via enhanced fluorescence in aqueous buffer solution. Fluorescence signals could be tuned from

The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) regulates cellular and whole-body energy balance in response to changes in adenylate charge and hormonal signals. Activation of AMPK in tissues such as skeletal muscle and liver reverses many of the metabolic defects associated with

Heme detoxification is a critical step in the life cycle of malaria-causing parasites, achieved by crystallization into physiologically insoluble hemozoin. The mode of nucleation has profound implications for understanding the mechanism of action of antimalarial drugs that inhibit hemozoin growth.
