Ferrate (VI) [Fe(VI)] has multi-functional features, which include potential oxidant, coagulant, and disinfectant. Because of these distinctive properties, numerous studies on the synthesis of ferrate (VI) and its possible applications in a wide research areas have been investigated. This review highlights the recent development made on different synthesis methods for ferrate including wet chemical, electrochemical, and thermal methods. The recent advancements achieved in ferrate (VI) oxidation and the synergistic effect of the oxidative properties of ferrate (VI) in the presence of various compounds or materials are also included. Moreover, this review discusses the applications of ferrate (VI) for degrading various types of water pollutants and its reaction mechanism. The optimized experimental conditions and interaction mechanisms of ferrate (VI) with micro-pollutants, dyes, and other organic compounds are also elaborated upon to provide greater insight for future studies. Lastly, the limitations and prospects of the ferrate use in the treatment of polluted water are described.

The synthesis of the Mannich base as a ligand (L) N-(morpholino (phenyl) methyl) acetamide is the subject of this study. Elemental analyses, FT-IR spectra, UV-vis, ¹H-NMR, and magnetic measurements were used to confirm the synthesis of the [Ni(L)₂]Cl₂ complex, thermal analysis (TG/DTG), atomic absorption, and scanning, and structurally explained as electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) methods. The melting point of the complex and its molar conductivity were also measured. The suggested geometries of the complexes formed have a tetrahedral structure, according to the data acquired using various techniques. Theoretical approaches to the complex formation have been investigated. For molecular mechanics and semi-empirical calculations, the HYPERCHEM6 program had been used. The effect of the novel Ni(II) complex on the cancer cell Hepa-2 (human hepatocellular ademocarcinoma), that is the human laryngeal cancer, was studied. It has been found that these ligand and complex have potent effects on the cancer cell. The antibacterial activity of the free ligand and its complex was evaluated against two kinds of human pathogenic bacteria. The first category is Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureas, epiderimids), whereas the second group is Gram-negative (Psedamonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli) (from the diffusion method). Finally, it was discovered that various chemicals had varied growth-inhibiting effects on bacteria.

In this study, we have investigated the potent anti-aging effect of DA-3711, a cosmetic ingredient derived from artificial skin culture. The artificial skin was originally developed as a skin replacement for the treatment of chronic skin wounds. To produce DA-3711, neonatal human fibroblasts were seeded into biocompatible collagen/chitosan/glycosaminoglycan (GAG) scaffolds and cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) supplemented with fetal bovine serum and nonessential amino acids. Analysis of the culture broth (DA-3711) showed that growth factors such as VEGF, TGF-$\beta$, KGF were present at significantly higher levels that in the culture broth of fibroblasts cultured in monolayer. The biological activity of DA-3711 was assessed by measuring in vitro cell proliferation and collagen synthesis of normal human fibroblasts. Fibroblasts treated with 10％ DA-3711 showed a 2-fold higher proliferation and 2 to 4-fold higher collagen synthesis than untreated cells. DA-3711 also exhibited anti-oxidative effects, since cells under peroxide-induced oxidative stress showed a 30％ higher viability in DA-3711-containing medium than in medium without DA-3711 addition. The results suggest that DA-3711 may have anti-aging effects by stimulating skin regeneration and protecting against oxidative stress.

Facile synthetic methods of 2',5'-dideoxy-, 2',3'-dideoxy- and 3'-deoxy-1, N6-ethenoadenosine nucleosides by either an enzymatic dideoxyribosyl transfer reaction or a simple chemical reaction were proposed. The synthesis products were isolated and purified by preparative HPLC and their structures were confirmed by 1H NMR (500 MHz) and FAB-MS including high resolution mass measurement. These modified nucleoside analogs have not been reported yet. Therefore, these modified nucleoside analogs are of potential value to be studied further for biological activity such as anticancer or antiviral.

Novel 9-[2-fluoro-4-hydroxy-3-hydroxymethyl-2-butenyl]adenine and its related compounds were designed and synthesized as open-chain analogues of neplanocin A. Alkylation of adenine or pyrimidine bases with the mesylate 4 was chosen as a simple approach to the synthesis of 2-fluoro-2-butenylated nucleosides. Mesylate 4 was prepared from dihydroxyacetone dimer via four steps in 58% overall yield. The synthesized compounds were evaluated their antiviral activity against HSV, HIV and Polio viruses.

The discovery that threosyl phosphonate nucleoside (PMDTA, $EC_{50}=2.53{\mu}M$) is a potent anti-HIV agent has led to the synthesis and biological evaluation of 5'-deoxy versions of threosyl phosphonate nucleosides. In the present study, (E)-3'-phosphonoalkenyl and 3'-phosphonoalkyl nucleoside analogues 13, 16, 20 and 23 were synthesized from acetol and tested for anti-HIV activity and cytotoxicity. The adenine analogue 16 was found to exhibit moderate in vitro anti-HIV-1 activity ($EC_{50}=22.2{\mu}M$).

A simple one-pot synthesis of two derivatives of 1,4-dihydropyridines has been described under reflux conditions using copper iodide nanoparticles (CuI NPs) as a catalyst in high yields. This method demonstrated four-component coupling reactions of aldehydes and ammonium acetate via two pathways. In one route, the reaction was performed using 2 eq ethyl acetoacetate while in the other one 1 eq ethyl acetoacetate and 1 eq malononitrile were used. The CuI NPs was reused and recycled without any loss of activity and product yield. It is noteworthy to state that wide range of the 1,4-dihydropyridines have attracted large interest due to pharmacological and biological activities.

A simple and efficient synthesis of various $\alpha$-aminophosphonates (3a-l) by the reaction of substituted aromatic/heterocyclic aldehydes, 2-amino-6-methoxy-benzothiazole and dibutyl/diphenyl phosphites under microwave irradiation without catalyst was accomplished. The phosphonates were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, $^1H$, $^{13}C$- and $^{31}PNMR$ spectra. They showed promising antimicrobial, anti-oxidant activities depending on the nature of bioactive groups at the $\alpha$-carbon.
