Abstract
Water contamination ranks highest among the challenges posed by the rapidly increasing environmental contamination, which is thought to be the most pressing issue globally. The development of innovative techniques for the successful removal of diverse types of undesirable pollutants from wastewater would therefore yield a huge return on investment. Nowadays, the removal of many organic and synthetic pollutants from the environmental matrix is anticipated to be possible by photocatalytic degradation, owing to its low energy consumption, high catalytic activity, and low overall cost. In this context, magnetic nanoparticles received greater attention as photocatalytic materials from the scientific community in wastewater treatment for the removal of different kinds of pollutants due to their specific properties. The present study provides an overview of the recent advances in water treatment using nickel ferrite nanoparticles and their nanocomposites as photocatalysts. Furthermore, a proposed mechanism for these photocatalysts to generate active free radicals under visible and ultraviolet light has been described. The review concludes that photocatalysts based on NiFe2O4 have potential applications in water purification technologies. However, more research is still needed to determine their practical application in water treatment facilities.

Abstract
Nowadays, the scientific community has focused on dealing with different kinds of diseases by exploring the chemistry of various heterocycles as novel drugs. In this connection, medicinal chemists identified carbonic anhydrases (CA) as one of the biologically active targets for curing various diseases. The widespread distribution of these enzymes and the high degree of homology shared by the different isoforms offer substantial challenges to discovering potential drugs. Medicinal and synthetic organic chemists have been continuously involved in developing CA inhibitors. This review explored the chemistry of different heterocycles as CA inhibitors using the last 11 years of published research work. It provides a pathway for young researchers to further explore the chemistry of a variety of synthetic as well as natural heterocycles as CA inhibitors.

Abstract
Tuberculosis is a communicable disease which affects humans particularly the lungs and is transmitted mainly through air. Despite two decades of intensive research aimed at understanding and combating tuberculosis, persistent biological uncertainties continue to hinder progress. Nowadays, heterocyclic compounds have proven themselves in effective treatment of tuberculosis because of their wide range of biological and pharmacological activities. Antituberculosis or antimycobacterial agents encompass a broad array of compounds utilized singly or in conjunction to combat Mycobacterium infections, spanning from tuberculosis to leprosy. Here, we summarize the synthesis of various heterocyclic compounds which includes the greener synthetic route as well as use of nano compounds as catalyst along with their anti TB activities.

Novel Hybrid Triazoline - Triazole Glycosides: Synthesis, Characterization, Antimicrobial Activity study via In Vitro, and In Silico Means. Carbohydr Res 2023; 532:108877.

Abstract
Series of novel 1,2,3-triazole, and 1,2,3- triazoline glycosides (a-e) were efficiently synthesized starting from d-arabinose in an effort to synthesize a new type of hybrid molecules containing sugar azide. The key step involved is the introduction of a new group, ethylene glycol, to the anomeric site and protection of the hydroxyl groups with acetic anhydride. Following that, the acetyl group is converted into ethylene glycol to tosylate. Compound Azido ethyl-O-β-d-arabinofuranoside 4 was synthesized with good yield by treating the derivative 3 with sodium azide, which displaced the tosylate 3 and replaced it with the azide group. The new glycosides were synthesized via a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction between the intermediate compound 4 and several alkenes and alkynes. The triazole and triazoline compounds were characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, LC/MS-IT-TOF spectral, and C·H.N. analysis. The antimicrobial screening was assayed using the disc diffusion technique revealed moderate to high potential inhibitory values against three test microorganisms compared to standard drugs. Their pharmacokinetics evaluation also showed promising drug-likeness and ADME properties. Furthermore, density functional theory (DFT) was utilized to obtain the molecular geometry of the title compounds utilizing B3LYP/6-311G++ (d, p), molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) through the investigation of HOMO and LUMO orbitals, and energy gap value. A lower energy gap value denotes that electrons can be transported more easily, indicating that molecule (b) is more reactive than other compounds. Molecular docking analysis revealed that all the designed triazole and triazoline glycosides interacted strongly inside the active site of the enzyme (PDB ID: 2Q85). and exhibits high docking scores, higher than the standard drug. The range of docking scores is -7.99 kcal/mol compound (a) to -7.42 kcal/mol compound (e).

Abstract
In recent times, nanomaterials have been applied for the detection and sensing of toxic gases in the environment owing to their large surface-to-volume ratio and efficiency. CO2 is a toxic gas that is associated with causing global warming, while SO2 and NO2 are also characterized as nonbenign gases in the sense that when inhaled, they increase the rate of respiratory infections. Therefore, there is an explicit reason to develop efficient nanosensors for monitoring and sensing of these gases in the environment. Herein, we performed quantum chemical simulation on a Ca12O12 nanocage as an efficient nanosensor for sensing and monitoring of these gases (CO2, SO2, NO2) by employing high-level density functional theory modeling at the B3LYP-GD3(BJ)/6-311+G(d,p) level of theory. The results obtained from our studies revealed that the adsorption of CO2 and SO2 on the Ca12O12 nanocage with adsorption energies of -2.01 and -5.85 eV, respectively, is chemisorption in nature, while that of NO2 possessing an adsorption energy of -0.69 eV is related to physisorption. Moreover, frontier molecular orbital (FMO), global reactivity descriptors, and noncovalent interaction (NCI) analysis revealed that the adsorption of CO2 and SO2 on the Ca12O12 nanocage is stable adsorption, while that of NO2 is unstable adsorption. Thus, we can infer that the Ca12O12 nanocage is more efficient as a nanosensor in sensing CO2 and SO2 gases than in sensing NO2 gas.
