Boron nitride nanomaterial based solid acid catalyst is an efficient and reusable sulfonic acid catalyst for the one-pot synthesis of 9-(2-(4-ethylpiperazin-1-yl)quinolin-3-yl)-3,3-dimethyl-3,4,9,10-tetrahydroacridin-1(2H)-one derivatives under microwave irradiation conditionsvia. The Knoevenagel and Michael type reactions. The catalyst was prepared by simply mixing boron nitride and 3-amino-4-methoxybenzenesulfonic acid in a safe method. The morphological properties of the catalyst was determined by using FT-IR, XRD, TEM, SEM and Raman spectroscopy. The synthesised catalyst was employed in a Knoevenagel and Michael type reaction to synthesise novel ethylpiperazinyl-quinolinyl based acridine derivatives. Furthermore, the newly-synthesised compounds was used for molecular docking in Hsp90 protein studies. The method developed in this study has the advantages of good yield, simplicity coupled with safety and short reaction time. Most importantly it was found that the solid acid catalyst can be recycled with minimal loss of activity over five cycles.

Abstract
A nanocrystalline titania-based sulfonic acid material was prepared, characterized and used as an effective, efficient and re-usable catalyst for the synthesis of 2-amino-4-(2-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl) quinolin-3-yl)-6-phenyl-4H-pyran-3-carbonitriles and 2-amino-4-(2-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)quinolin-3-yl)-6-(pyridin-4-yl)-4H-pyran-3-carbonitrile ...

A nanocrystalline titania-based sulfonic acid material was prepared, characterized and used as an effective, efficient and re-usable catalyst for the synthesis of 2-amino-4-(2-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl) quinolin-3-yl)-6-phenyl-4H-pyran-3-carbonitriles and 2-amino-4-(2-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)quinolin-3-yl)-6-(pyridin-4-yl)-4H-pyran-3-carbonitrile derivatives under solvent-free conditions. This simple three component one-pot synthesis results in high yield products in 2 hours via conventional heating protocols. The catalyst was characterized by XRD, TEM, SEM, BET and Raman spectroscopy. The catalyst was recycled 5 times and recorded a decrease of 10 % in catalytic activity making it cost effective for large scale production.

Nickel nanoparticles (Ni NPs) with a crystalline size of around 30 nm have been synthesized successfully via the chemical reduction method. Ni NPs were obtained through a nickel salt with hydrazine hydrate at 80 °C temperature by using ethylenediamine as protective agent. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by using FTIR spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction pattern, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), thermogravimetry (TG/DTG), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The size and morphology behavior of NPs were studied by PXRD, SEM and TEM techniques. Furthermore, its applications studies were carried out as catalyst for Knoevenagel condensation reaction of aromatic aldehydes and malononitrile under solvent free conditions. The efficacy of NPs catalyst was exhibited an excellent recyclability and reusability up to four times without any additional treatment. The silent feature of nickel nanoparticles were found as efficient, cleaner reactions profiles and simple workup. Moreover, its comparative antibacterial activities were performed by using common solvents and sonication under standard method. The antibacterial activities were tested against human bacterial pathogen such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella sp, Enterococcus faecalis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa using well diffusion method. Nonetheless, the antibacterial activities of Ni nanoparticles (20 to 60 ug) were compared with four well known antibiotics i.e. Amikacin (30 mcg), Ciprofloxacin (5 mcg), Gentamicin (5 mcg) and Norfloxacin (10 mcg). The highest antimicrobial activity of Nickel nanoparticles were found against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus (21 mm) and Klebsiella sp. (20 mm). However, the results reveal an efficient antimicrobial activity against pathogenic bacteria under sonication than common solvent technique.
