BACKGROUND Coumarins are a large group of naturally-occurring compounds with a wide range of biological properties, including anticancer activity. 7-Substituted coumarins (umbelliferone, scoparone, and herniarin) were analyzed for their potential anticancer activity against laryngeal cancer cells

Epidemologic studies have shown inverse correlation between the consumption of carotenoid-rich vegetables and the incidence of cancer. Therefore, analytical techniques for the quantitative determination of carotenoids in complex sample matrices are important. The most used method is reversed-phase

In this Article, we focused on the modulation of the photophysical properties of curcumin, an anti-cancer drug, in aqueous and nonaqueous reverse micelles of AOT in n-heptane using steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. The instability of curcumin is a common problem which

A facile reverse microemulsion method was developed for the synthesis of homogenous poly(pyrrole-3-carboxylic acid) (PPyCOOH) nanoparticles, which used n-heptane as the oil phase, sodium dodecyl sulfate as the surfactant, 1-butanol as the co-surfactant and pyrrole-3-carboxylic solution as the

The spectroscopic properties and the photodynamic activity of a highly water soluble zinc(II)tetramethyltetrapyridino[2,3-b:2',3'-g:2",3"-l:2"',3'''-q]porphyrazinium salt (ZnTM2,3PyPz) were investigated in aqueous homogeneous solution and in biomimetic reverse micelles medium bearing photooxidizable
