ANION-DRIVEN DESIGN OF IMIDAZOLIUM-BASED IONIC LIQUIDS: INTEGRATING PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROFILING, IONICITY ANALYSIS, DFT/ADMET MODELING AND ANTIMICROBIAL PERFORMANCE
Ionic liquids represent a highly tunable class of compounds whose physicochemical and biological properties can be modified through rational selection of cations and anions. In this study, three imidazolium-based ionic liquids containing oxychlorine anions were synthesized and characterized: 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chlorite, chlorate and perchl...

INTEGRATED THERMAL KINETICS AND MOLECULAR DOCKING ANALYSIS OF ARBUTUS UNEDO POLYPHENOLS FOR ANTIDIABETIC APPLICATIONS
Arbutus unedo L. is a Mediterranean species rich in bioactive polyphenols, including gallic acid, catechin, quercetin, and arbutin, which exhibit pronounced inhibitory activity toward α-glucosidase and α-amylase, often exceeding that of the standard antidiabetic drug Acarbose. However, the practical valorization of phytotherapeutic form...

ULTRASOUND-ASSISTED EXTRACTION OF AMYGDALIN FROM WASTE PLUM KERNELS
Amygdalin, a cyanogenic glycoside predominantly found in the seeds of stone fruits such as plums, apricots, and peaches, has long been recognized for its potential antitumor properties. The biological activity of amygdalin is attributed to the selective release of hydrocyanic acid, which exhibits cytotoxicity toward cancer cells. Given that extract...

DEEP EUTECTIC SOLVENT-ASSISTED BIODIESEL PRODUCTION FROM PLUM KERNEL OIL: IMPACT ON REACTION RATE AND FUEL QUALITY
Plum kernel oil (PKO) is a promising feedstock for biodiesel production as it is obtained from plum kernels that are a significant by-product of the fruit processing industry. The kernels contain a high oil content (up to 46.9%) with a favorable fatty acid profile dominated by oleic acid (over 70%). This study investigates the effect of the deep eu...
