Hydrogen peroxide in high yields with harmless by-products (viz. water and nitrogen) can be generated in situ by the reduction Of O-2 by hydroxylammonium sulfate (or chloride) or hydroxylamine using the supported gold catalysts particularly Au/Gd2O3, Au/La2O3 and Au/MgO, in aqueous (water) or non-aqueous (viz. methanol) medium at close to ambient conditions.

We present here a completely green chemistry approach toward enrichment of zirconia in zircon sand; this is based on the reaction of the fungus Fusarium oxysporum with zircon sand by a process of selective extracellular bioleaching of silica nanoparticles. Since this reaction does not result in zirconia being simultaneously leached out from the sand, there is a consequent enrichment of the zirconia component in zircon sand. We believe that fungal enzymes specifically hydrolyze the silicates present in the sand to form silicic acid, which on condensation by certain other fungal enzymes results in room-temperature synthesis of silica nanoparticles. This fungus-mediated twofold approach might have vast commercial implications in low-cost, ecofriendly, room-temperature syntheses of technologically important oxide nanomaterials from potentially cheap naturally available raw materials like zircon sand.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3.993</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Choudhary, Vasant R.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jana, Prabhas</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bhargava, Suresh Kumar</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Direct H(2)-to-H(2)O(2) oxidation in aqueous acidic medium containing Br promoter over Pd/Al(2)O(3) and Pd/C catalysts thermally pretreated under different conditions</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Catalysis Letters</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hydrogen peroxide</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">oxidation of H(2) to H(2)O(2)</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pd/Al(2)O(3)</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pd/C</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2008</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">OCT</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3-4</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SPRINGER</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">233 SPRING ST, NEW YORK, NY 10013 USA</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">125</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">296-301</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Influence of thermal pretreatments (under N(2), air or H(2) gas atmosphere at 500 degrees C or 700 degrees C) has been investigated for the Pd/Al(2)O(3) and Pd/Carbon catalysts in terms of its effect on their Pd particle size and performance in the H(2)-to-H(2)O(2) oxidation and H(2)O(2) destruction (by decomposition and/or hydrogenation) reactions in aqueous acidic medium containing Br promoter. The influence on the net H(2)O(2) formation is found to depend strongly upon the catalyst support due to support-Pd cluster interactions.

The Au/TiO2 catalyst, prepared using the HDP method, showed high activity and selectivity in the reaction. The ZrO2-Supported nanogold catalyst (HDP) also showed very good performance. The Au/TiO2 catalyst that was prepared using the deposition-precipitation (DP) method, however, showed poor catalytic activity, mostly because of its much-lower gold loading and/or lower Au3+/Au-0 ratio. Irrespective of the catalyst preparation method, the catalytic activity increased as the gold loading increased. The gold deposition method strongly influenced the amount of gold that was deposited on TiO2, the gold particle size distribution, and also the surface Au3+/Au-0 ratio; using the HDP method, the gold deposition was much larger, the gold particle size was smaller, the gold particle size distribution was much narrower, and the Au3+/Au-0 ratio was higher. Both the metallic and ionic gold species (Au-0 and Au3+) are present in the Au/TiO2 catalyst. However, the Au3+ species are mostly responsible for the high catalytic activity in the oxidation process.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">21</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2.071</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>10</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Soni, Sarvesh Kumar</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sarkar, Sampa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sarkar, Dhiman</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Coloe, Peter J.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bhargava, Suresh Kumar</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bansal, Vipul</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Self–assembled histidine acid phosphate nanocapsules as templates for multifunctional hollow platinum nanospheres in ionic liquid [BMIM][BF 4 ] for drug delivery</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Proceedings of Chemeca</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JAN</style></date></pub-dates></dates><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;During the past few decades, the design and fabrication of nano drug delivery vehicle has received considerable attention for incorporating multi-functionality, emphasizing transportation of anticancer drugs to tumour sites. Protein-based nanoparticles hold significant promise in the development of anticancer drug delivery systems since they have remarkable superiority in biocompatibility, biodegradability and natural metabolism in physiologic systems. Ionic liquids (ILs) are a class of solvents that are composed solely of ions (ILs – commonly referred as room temperature molten salts or room temperature ionic liquids). They have recently emerged as green solvents or green reaction media, because of their reported unique physico-chemical properties. We report for the first time the controlled self-assembly of Histidine Acid phosphatase (HAP) enzyme in the IL 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [BMIM][BF 4 ], leading to the formation of HAP nanocapsules as template for synthesis of platinum nanospheres. These HAP nano-containers were loaded with an anticancer drug curcumin. We further demonstrated in vitro drug release and synergistic anticancer effect of these systems on three different cell lines viz. hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2), breast cancer (MCF-7) and human acute monocytes (THP-1). The present work can extend our theoretical understanding on nano-bio interfacial molecular self assembly and will facilitate the motivated insights of inorganic/organic hybrid nano-materials/ nano-particles/ nano-objects and ionic liquids based multi functional drug delivery vehicles with synergistic combination chemotherapy for potential application in tumor targeting. INTRODUCTION During the past few decades, the design and fabrication of drug delivery vehicle has received considerable attention for incorporating multi-functionality emphasizing transportation of anticancer drugs to tumour sites. These nano drug delivery vehicles have many advantages including prolonged circulation time of the drugs (Duncan, 2003, Kiick, 2007) , improved drug targeting and solubility (Duncan, 2003, Kiick, 2007), higher payloads (Duncan, 2003) and controlled release of the therapeutics into the blood stream or the targeted tumour tissues (Uhrich et al. 1999, Duncan, 2003).&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Choudhary, Vasant R.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dumbre, Deepa K.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Yadav, P.

The catalytic activity is strongly influenced by the nature or type of metal oxide support (viz, alkaline earth oxide, Group IIIA metal oxide, transition metal oxide, or rare earth oxide actinide oxide). It is also strongly influenced by the nature of aryl halide (aryl iodide, bromide, chloride, or fluoride), amount of K2CO3 in the reaction mixture and catalyst calcination temperature. Influence of reaction parameters viz, temperature and time and different substituents in aryl halides and/or phenylboronic acids on the biphenyl product yield in the reaction over Au/MgO catalyst has also been investigated. The catalyst showed excellent reusability in the reaction. Moreover, it is ligand-free and also has much lower cost than the commonly used homogeneous and heterogeneous Pd catalysts.

This catalyst has shown higher product yield in the presence of dimethylformamide (as a solvent) and K2CO3 (as a base) at 120 C. Influence of different solvents and bases on the product yield has also been investigated. The catalyst can be easily separated from the reaction mixture, simply by filtration and reused several times without a significant loss of its activity. The catalyst has been fully characterized for its surface and bulk properties and the mesoporous CuO:Fe2O3 phase was attributed for its catalytic activity towards S-arylation reactions.

The strategy proposed here enables the enzymatic activity to be retained while increasing the enzyme thermostability. It is demonstrated that the use of a zwitterionic amino acid tyrosine as a reducing and capping agent to synthesise gold nanoparticles allows efficient immobilization of phytase enzyme through charge-switchable electrostatic interactions. The detailed kinetic and thermodynamic studies reveal that the proposed enzyme immobilization strategy improves the overall quality of phytase by reducing the activation energy required for substrate hydrolysis and broadening the temperature window in which immobilized enzyme is able to operate. The outcomes of this study indicate that the underlying zwitterionic nature of 20 natural amino acids along with significant variability in their isoelectric points and hydropathy indices as well the ability of some of the amino acids to reduce metal ions is likely to offer significant opportunities for tailoring nano-bio interfaces in a rational manner for a range of biological applications.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">33</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4.449</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Soni, Sarvesh K.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sarkar, Sampa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Selvakannan, P.

Firstly, controlled self-assembly of phytase enzyme in an Ionic Liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [Bmim][BF4], led to the formation of therapeutically active phytase nanospheres. These nanospheres were further decorated with platinum nanoparticles by adding the platinum ions to these spheres and the nanoparticles formation was mediated by the specific interaction between the histidine residue (in active site of phytase enzymes) and the platinum ions and subsequent reduction of the ions into nanoparticles. The enzyme spheres act as a functional soft template for the as-formed platinum nanoparticles. These Platinum decorated hybrid biomacromolecular phytase nanospheres were loaded with the anticancer drug curcumin and all the different kinds of nanospheres were subjected to in vitro cytotoxicity for their anticancer effect on three different kinds of cancer cell lines i.e. MCF-7, Hep-G2 and THP-1 derived human macrophages. We observed a gradual increase in the anticancer effect caused by only phytase nanospheres (25%), platinum-phytase nanospheres (37%), phytase-curcumin (78%) and platinum-phytase-curcumin nanospheres (90%) that establishes this protein based system as a robust combinatorial drug delivery vehicle. The platinum-phytase spheres also proved their usability as a highly efficient green and reusable biocatalytic system for phytate degradation. The present work facilitates our understanding of ionic liquid based synthesis for multifunctional protein based drug delivery vehicles incorporating combinatorial chemotherapy for potential application as biopharmaceutical agents for tumor treatment and bio-catalysis.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">77</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3.289</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Goyal, Reena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sarkar, Bipul</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bag, Arijit</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Siddiqui, Nazia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dumbre, Deepa K.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lucas, Nishita</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bhargava, Suresh Kumar</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bordoloi, Ankur</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Studies of synergy between metal-support interfaces and selective hydrogenation of HMF to DMF in water</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Catalysis</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">biofuels</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biomass</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hydrogenation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">mesoporous carbon</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ni-CNx</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">AUG</style></date></pub-dates></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">525 B ST, STE 1900, SAN DIEGO, CA 92101-4495 USA</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">340</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">248-260</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Metal-support interfaces play a very important role in heterogeneous catalysis. The interfacial interactions not only are responsible for stabilizing the necessary oxidation state to facilitate the reaction but also enhance the stability of the catalyst system. Nano dispersion of Ni on mesoporous nitrogen-rich carbon material has been achieved using two different synthesis methods. It was observed that nickel (0) gets stabilized by strong interfacial interaction with the nitrogen atoms of the support material, and the material was found to be very economic and efficient for the conversion of HMF to DMF in aqueous medium. The material shows &amp;gt;= 99% conversion to 5-(hydroxymethyl) furfural (HMF) within 6 h of reaction with 98.7% DMF selectivity. A unique correlation between synthesis methods and particle sizes with catalytic performance has been observed for these newly developed materials. Furthermore, a DFT calculation has been performed to predict the reaction mechanism. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc.
