Low Efficiency

Cobalt is essential to the metabolism of all animals due to its key role in cobalamin, also known as vitamin B12, the primary biological reservoir of cobalt as an ultra-trace element. Current cancer treatment strategies, including chemotherapy and radiotherapy, have been seriously restricted by their side effects and low efficiency for a long time, which urges us to develop new technologies for more effective and much safer anticancer therapies. Novel nanotechnologies, based on different kinds of functional nanomaterials, have been proved to act as effective and promising strategies for anticancer treatment. Based on the important biological roles of cobalt, cobalt oxide nanoparticles (NPs) have been widely developed for their attractive biomedical applications, especially their potential for anticancer treatments due to their selective inhibition of cancer cells. Thus, more and more attention has been attracted to the preparation, characterization and anticancer investigation of cobalt oxide nanoparticles in recent years, which is expected to introduce novel anticancer treatment strategies. In this review, we summarize the synthesis methods of cobalt oxide nanoparticles to discuss the advantages and restrictions for their preparation. Moreover, we emphatically discuss the anticancer functions of cobalt oxide nanoparticles as well as their underlying mechanisms to promote the development of cobalt oxide nanoparticles for anticancer treatments, which might finally benefit the current anticancer therapeutics based on functional cobalt oxide nanoparticles.

Tetrasubstituted Imidazoles

Aim and Objective: The multi-component condensation of benzil, primary amines, ammonium acetate and various aldehydes was efficiently catalyzed using cobalt oxide nanoparticles under ultrasonic irradiation. This approach describes an effective and facile method for the synthesis of some novel 1,2,4,5-tetrasubstituted imidazole derivatives with several advantages such as high yields and short reaction times and reusability of the catalyst. Moreover, the prepared heterocyclic compounds showed high antibacterial activity against some pathogenic strains. Materials and Method: The facile and efficient approaches for the preparation of Co3O4 nanoparticles were carried out by one step method. The synthesized heterogeneous nanocatalyst was characterized by spectroscopic analysis including EDX, FE-SEM, VSM, XRD and FT-IR analysis. The as-synthesized cobalt oxide nanoparticles showed paramagnetic behaviour in magnetic field. In addition, the catalytic influence of the nanocatalyst was examined in the one-pot reaction of primary amines, benzil, ammonium acetate and diverse aromatic aldehydes under ultrasonic irradiation. All of the 1,2,4,5-tetrasubstituted imidazoles were investigated and checked with m.p., 1H NMR, 13C NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy techniques. The antibacterial properties of the heterocycles were evaluated in vitro by the disk diffusion against pathogenic strains such as Escherichia coli (EC), Bacillus subtillis (BS), Staphylococcus aureus (SA), Salmonellatyphi (ST) and Shigella dysentrae (SD) species. Results: In this research cobalt oxide nanostructure was used as a robust and green catalyst in the some novel imidazoles. The average particle size measured from the FE-SEM image is found to be 20-30 nm which confirmed to the obtained results from XRD pattern. Various electron-donating and electron-withdrawing aryl aldehydes were efficiently reacted in the presence of Co3O4 nanoparticles. The role of the catalyst as a Lewis acid is promoting the reactions with the increase in the electrophilicity of the carbonyl and double band groups. To investigate the reusability of the catalyst, the model study was repeated using recovered cobalt oxide nanoparticles. The results showed that the nanocatalyst could be reused for five times with a minimal loss of its activity. Conclusion: We have developed an efficient and environmentally friendly method for the synthesis of some tetrasubstituted imidazoles via three-component reaction of benzil, primary amines, ammonium acetate and various aldehydes using Co3O4 NPs. The present approach suggests different benefits such as: excellent yields, short reaction times, simple workup procedure and recyclability of the magnetic nanocatalyst. The prepared 1,2,4,5-tetrasubstituted imidazoles revealed high antibacterial activities and can be useful in many biomedical applications.

Cobalt Oxide Nanoparticles

Background: The properties of the material are altered when material size shifted towards nano-regime. This feature could be used for wastewater treatment process using model pollutant such as dyes. Recently, nanoparticles are synthesized by a green chemical route using different capping agents. This is the reason we adopt starch as green capping agent along with sol-gel method. Objective: To synthesize cobalt oxide nanoparticles by green chemical route and utilized it in degradation of dyes. Methods: Synthesis of cobalt oxide nanoparticles by sol-gel method using starch as a capping agent. The characteristics of surface modifications were investigated by UV-VIS, TEM, SEM, XRD and FTIR techniques. Results: Cobalt oxide nanoparticles synthesized and inhibited photocatalytic activity. Conclusion: Deactivation of photocatalytic activity due to complex nature of starch. This property can be used elsewhere as in light shielding applications to coat and protect surfaces in order to keep them cool and safe from damage as in the painting of vehicles, roofs, buildings, water tanks, etc.
