Benzanilide from aniline
The document provides a procedure for synthesizing benzanilide from aniline. It instructs the reader to place aniline and sodium hydroxide in an iodine flask, then add benzoyl chloride and shake for 10 minutes. This will cause benzoyl derivative to separate as a white powder as heat is evolved. Once the reaction is complete, as indicated by no longer detecting the odor of benzoyl chloride, the mixture should be diluted with water and filtered. The product is then recrystallized from hot alcohol and dried, with the reader asked to report the yield and melting point.
Quenching
This document discusses types of quenching in fluorimetry. There are four main types of quenching: concentration quenching caused by excessive absorption of radiation; chemical quenching resulting from changes in pH or presence of other substances; static quenching from complex formation between molecules in the ground state; and dynamic quenching occurring at the excited state with weak coupling between molecules. Quenching can be influenced by concentration, pH, temperature, viscosity and presence of specific chemicals.
Triphenylmethane by mr. pradeep swarnkar
Triphenylmethane (C6H5)3CH is the chromogen that produces the intense colors in many dyes. It has a common p-quinoid chromophore and auxochromes like OH, NH2, and NR2 that determine the color. While triphenylmethane dyes produce brilliant colors, they fade quickly in light and are no longer used much for textiles. However, they are still used in large quantities for coloring paper and typewriter ribbons where fading is less important. Gentian violet, derived from triphenylmethane, is used as an antiseptic for fungal infections and minor wounds. Triphenylmethane and its derivatives also have various other uses including as pH indicators,
Diphenyl methane by Mr. Pradeep Swarnkar
Diphenylmethane is an organic compound that is a white solid consisting of a methane molecule where two hydrogen atoms are replaced by two phenyl groups. It is prepared through the replacement of hydrogen atoms on methane with phenyl groups and is widely used in the synthesis of luminogens for aggregation induced emission and in the preparation of polymerization through diphenylmethyl potassium.
Anthracene by pradeep swarnkar
Anthracene is a colorless polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon present in coal tar. It is made up of three fused benzene rings. Resonance structures show that the C1-C2 bond is shorter than the C2-C3 bond due to double bond character. Anthracene is less aromatic than benzene and behaves more like an unsaturated hydrocarbon. It undergoes addition and electrophilic substitution reactions preferentially at the C9 and C10 positions. Anthracene derivatives have pharmacological uses as laxatives, anticancer agents, and treatments for kidney diseases.
Multi component analysis (uv visible spectroscopy) by mr. pradeep swarnkar)

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
