Biopolymers in Active Food Packaging: Current Landscape and Future Directions
(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2025) Anirudh Singh Bhathiwal; Harish Kumar Sharma; Geetanjali Yadav; N. Raghav; B. Anjaneyulu
Fourth-generation biopolymers, the most recent advancement in packaging, are becoming increasingly in demand for food packaging because of their effectiveness, biodegradability, and non-contaminating qualities when in contact with food. Biomass, biological monomers, and persistent microbes are direct sources of these biopolymers. The affordability of the ingredients needed as raw materials to produce these biopolymers, some of which come from industrial and agricultural waste, is one of the economic benefits. Plant-based protein biopolymers are notable for their exceptional mechanical properties and gas permeability. The literature on the use of biopolymers made from biomass, such as proteins, lipids, and polysaccharides, in food packaging is covered in this chapter, emphasizing their antibacterial and antioxidant qualities. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2025.

(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2025) B. Anjaneyulu; Anirudh Singh Bhathiwal; B. P. Janavi; Anamika Kumari Singh; N. Raghav; Rashmi Pundeer; Mozhgan Afshari
The rise in water contamination is considered one of the major challenges of environmental pollution and needs to be addressed promptly. Recently, the role of nanocomposites has become increasingly important for removing various organic dyes from wastewater. In particular, silver nanocomposites have proven to be effective new materials for the catalytic removal of different organic dyes. This review summarizes various silver-based nanocomposites used for wastewater treatment. Additionally, the study demonstrates how polymers, graphene oxide sheets, and metal oxides enhance pollutant removal. The review concludes that silver nanocomposites hold great promise for removing organic dyes from wastewater. These advanced materials exhibit exceptional photocatalytic properties that enable the effective destruction of a range of dye pollutants. It is also noted that articles published from 2021 to 2024 are included in this review. © 2025 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
From Lab to Life: The Journey of Imidazoles Through Advanced Synthesis and Vital Biological Applications (Comprehensive Review)
(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2025) B. Anjaneyulu; Chanchal Vashisth; Poonam Devi; Anirudh Singh Bhathiwal; Rashmi Pundeer; Chinmay Mittal; N. Raghav; Mozhgan Afshari
The heterocyclic compound family is the most prevalent category of organic compounds and plays indispensable roles in our daily lives. Imidazoles are a significant class of heterocycles that garnered significant attraction because of their wide range of biological activities and therapeutic potential. They are a component of numerous important biomolecules including the imidazole alkaloids, biotin, and the vital amino acid histidine and its related compounds. These compounds have demonstrated efficacy in treating conditions ranging from hypertension and neuropathic pain to infectious diseases and cancer. The imidazole scaffold serves as a key building block in drug design and discovery. These compounds can be synthesized using various techniques and their diverse structural reactions provide a wealth of opportunities in medicinal chemistry. The purpose of this study is to examine the chemistry of imidazole derivatives and their importance in medicinal chemistry during the last decade. © 2025 Wiley-VCH GmbH.
Microwave-Assisted One-Pot Synthesis of 1,5-Benzodiazepine Derivatives Using Novel ZnFe2O4.Cu(OH)2 Magnetic Nanocomposite as Heterogeneous Catalyst and Their Theoretical Studies as Antifungal Agents
(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2025) B. Anjaneyulu; Anirudh Singh Bhathiwal; Aditi Tiwari; G. B. Dharma Rao; Mozhgan Afshari
Incredible applications of 1,5-benzodiazepine derivatives in the pharmacological and biological world have encouraged us to synthesize the series of novel 2,4-disubstituted-1,5-benzodiazepine derivatives in one pot using reusable ZnFe2O4.Cu(OH)2 magnetic nanocomposite as a heterogeneous catalyst under microwave irradiation with a yield range of 70%–93%. The novel ZnFe2O4.Cu(OH)2 catalyst was characterized by XRD and TEM. The synthesized 1,5-benzodiazepine derivatives are further investigated for theoretical DFT observations using Spartan-14 software, Autodock Vina, and Discovery Studio software to study their antifungal activity effectiveness towards CaCYP51 (PDB ID-5EQB) protein and observed that almost all compounds exhibit antifungal activity. © 2025 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
Toward Sustainable Chemistry: A Survey of Green Synthesis Methods for Pyridine Derivatives (A Review)
(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2025) B. Anjaneyulu; Vishaka Chauhan; Anirudh Singh Bhathiwal; Chinmay Mittal; Mozhgan Afshari
Pyridine is one of the significant six-membered N-heterocycles that has gained the attention of the scientific community because it is an integral part of various medicinally important natural products. There is a sizable and expanding market for pyridine derivatives due to their many pharmaceutical, medicinal, and agricultural uses. Numerous chemicals are being tested in clinical studies, in which pyridine analogs have occupied the top position. Pyridine scaffolds are also becoming more and more prominent for the use of modern medicine and are anticipated to have several uses in daily life. In this connection, various techniques have been developed to create novel pyridine derivatives, such as multicomponent one-pot reactions, green catalysts, environmentally friendly solvents, solvent-free synthesizing, ultrasonic production, and microwave-assisted synthesis. This study unifies the synthesis of various pyridine-based molecular frameworks using green protocols and the results will support new ideas for creating biologically active compounds. © 2025 Wiley-VHCA AG, Zurich, Switzerland.
