Separation of homogeneous catalyst from the reaction mixture is a crucial and difficult process in any catalytic process. To address this issue, a new class of multifunctional catalyst in the form of film was developed using a facile approach to enjoy the advantages of homogeneous catalyst with the versatility of heterogeneous catalyst. To achieve the same, methionine-capped gold nanodots (AuNDs) were self-assembled on a cationic polyelectrolyte modified glass plate for the catalytic reduction of nitro functional groups in the presence of olefinic double bond at mild conditions. Separation of this reusable catalytic film from the reaction mixture is very simple and advantageous when compared to the currently available and conventional catalytic systems. Kinetics of nitro reduction was monitored using absorption spectroscopy and the product formation was confirmed by 1H and 13CNMR analyses. Prepared AuNDs catalyst was characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), cyclic voltammetry and atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques. Graphical Abstract: SYNOPSIS?Colloidal gold nanoparticles are efficient catalysts for organic reactions. But the removal of homogeneous gold colloids from the reaction mixture is very difficult. To address this issue, gold nanodots were synthesized and self-assembled over polyelectrolyte film to form catalytic plates. Removal of these reusable catalytic plates from the reaction mixture is facile.[Figure not available: see fulltext.].

A series of novel chalcones bearing acridine moiety attached to the amino group in their ring A have been synthesized through noncatalyzed nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction between various 3′-aminochalcone or 4′-aminochalcones and 9-chloroacridine. The synthesized chalcone derivatives have been characterized and screened for in vitro antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum NF-54. All the chalcones showed complete inhibition at concentration of 10 μg/mL and above while three compounds showed significant inhibition at concentration of 2 μg/mL. The three most active chalcone derivatives were screened for in vivo activity as well, but no significant inhibition in parasitaemia was observed when given intraperitoneally to Plasmodium yoelii infected mice model.
