Synthesis and evaluation of cryptolepine analogues for their potential as new antimalarial agents.
- C. Wright, J. Addae-Kyereme, +7 authors P. Pollet
- Chemistry
- 18 August 2001
The indoloquinoline alkaloid cryptolepine 1 has potent in vitro antiplasmodial activity, but it is also a DNA intercalator with cytotoxic properties. We have shown that the antiplasmodial mechanism… Expand
Reversible ionic liquids designed for facile separations
- V. Blasucci, R. Hart, P. Pollet, C. Liotta, C. Eckert
- Chemistry

Reversible ionic liquids can increase the application of traditional ionic liquids, such as those based on imidazolium cations, and generate new technologies along the way. While traditional ionic… Expand
Asymmetric hydrogenation and catalyst recycling using ionic liquid and supercritical carbon dioxide.
Switchable Solvents Consisting of Amidine/Alcohol or Guanidine/Alcohol Mixtures
Liquids that consist of a mixture of an alcohol and either an amidine or a guanidine have been developed to switch from a low-polarity form to a high-polarity ionic liquid upon treatment with CO2 at… Expand

- 21 June 2010
In laboratory-based chemical synthesis, the choice of the solvent and the means of product purification are rarely determined by cost or environmental impact considerations. When a reaction is scaled… Expand
Hydroformylation Catalyst Recycle with Gas-Expanded Liquids
- J. Hallett, J. Ford, +4 authors C. Eckert
- Chemistry
- 18 March 2008
Tunable solvents such as gas-expanded liquids offer unique opportunities as benign and economic reaction media. We have improved the turnover frequency of a water-soluble catalyst system by a factor… Expand
