Eco-Friendly Synthesis of Sesamol-Incorporated Azo Dyes: Anti-Inflammatory Activity and Colourfastness Evaluation
摘要
The negative impacts of synthetic dyes on the environment and health have sparked interest in natural dyes as sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. We have developed a sustainable method for synthesizing novel sesamol-bearing natural azo dye molecules using water as a solvent. These molecules were tested for their color retention and durability on cotton, linen, and silk materials and showed promising results, indicating their potential application in the textile industry. Furthermore, the synthesized compounds demonstrated significant anti-inflammatory effects, making them potential candidates for pharmaceutical applications. One of the synthesized compounds showed the highest inhibition of 97.30±0.36% against the tested materials. This study highlights the potential of these dye molecules as vibrant coloring agents for textiles and candidates for pharmaceutical applications, with significant inhibitory activity observed in compounds diazotized with different amines.
