This review brings forth the potential of thiazole derivatives for their anticancer activities. The emphasis is placed on the structural diversity of thiazole derivatives, responsible for their specific anticancer activity. Multiple classes of thiazole derivatives such as Schiff base, mono-, di-, tri-, and heterocyclic substituents that possess anticancer activity have been exemplified. Molecular modelling of compounds that predicts enhanced anticancer activity of the modified structures has also been elaborated in the review. Significant advancements in synthetic chemistry related to cytotoxicity can now better position the drug discovery team to undertake thiazoles as valuable leads. The beneficial thiazole derivatives possessing anticancer activity will reignite the interest of medicinal chemists in thiazole and their derivatives.
Ionic liquid (IL) is now being considered as a novel contender in the development of highly conducting polymer electrolytes rather than a solvent. It has a significant impact on the electrochemical performance of polymer electrolytes. This study emphasizes the significance of low viscosity IL dispersion within a polymer (PVA) matrix. The electrical, structural and photoelectrochemical properties of the IL-doped polymer electrolyte are discussed in detail. These highly conducting IL doped solid polymer electrolytes show promise towards the development of highly efficient Supercapacitors.
Solid polymer electrolyte films blended with ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tricyanomethanide (EMImTCM) and poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVdF-HFP) are prepared via solution cast technique. The physical characterization of polymeric film is performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), polarized optical microscopy (POM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) studies. The gel electrolyte film with 300 wt% of IL shows the high ionic conductivity value of 3.7 Â 10 À2 S cm À1 , and operating voltage from À0.5 to 1.5 V, i.e., electrochemical stability window (ESW) % 2.0 V. The dielectric properties of the polymeric films such as dielectric constant, dielectric loss tangent (Tan δ), relaxation frequency, and time are evaluated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
