Brehm, Julian published the artcileIn-depth characterization revealed polymer type and chemical content specific effects of microplastic on Dreissena bugensis, COA of Formula: C7H6N2, the main research area is proteomics microplastics chem composition Dreissena; Filter feeders; In-depth characterization; PET drinking bottles; Proteomics; Real-time valvometry.

In aquatic ecosystems, filter feeders like mussels are particularly vulnerable to microplastics (MP). However, little is known about how the polymer type and the associated properties (like additives or remaining monomers) of MP impact organisms, as the predominant type of MP used for effect studies on the organismic level are micron grade polystyrene spheres, without considering their chem. composition Therefore, we exposed the freshwater mussel Dreissena bugensis (D. bugensis) to in-depth characterized fragments in the same concentration and size range (20-120μm): recycled polyethylene terephthalate from drinking bottles, polyamide, polystyrene, polylactic acid, and mussel shell fragments as natural particle control. Real-time valvometry, used to study behavioral responses via the movement of the mussels valves, showed that mussels cannot distinguish between natural and MP particles, and therefore do not cease their filtration, as when exposed to dissolved pollutants. This unintentional ingestion led to polymer type-dependent adverse effects (activity of antioxidant enzymes and proteomic alterations), related to chems. and residual monomers found in MP. Overall, recycled PET elicited the strongest neg. effects, likely caused by anthranilamide, anthranilonitrile and butylated hydroxytoluene, contained in the fragments, which are toxic to aquatic organisms. As PET is among the most abundant MP in the environment, sublethal effects may gradually manifest at the population level, leading to irreversible ecosystem changes.

Serup, Jorgen published the artcileIdentification of pigments related to allergic tattoo reactions in 104 human skin biopsies, HPLC of Formula: 1885-29-6, the main research area is chronic allergy skin biopsy red tattoo pigment metal; Pigment Red 170/210; Pigment Red 22; allergy; nickel; pigments; tattoo reaction.

Background : Red tattoos are prone to allergic reactions. The identity of the allergen(s) is mostly unknown. Objectives : Chem. anal. of human skin biopsies from chronic allergic reactions in red tattoos to identify culprit pigment(s) and metals. Material and methods : One hundred four dermatome biopsies were analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization tandem mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS/MS) for identification of commonly used organic pigments. Metal concentrations were assessed by inductively coupled plasma (ICP)-MS and x-ray fluorescence (XRF). Fourteen patients had cross-reactions in other red tattoos. Results : In total, the identified pigments were mainly azo Pigment Red (P.R.) 22 (35%), P.R. 210 (24%), P.R. 170 (12%), P.R. 5 (0.9%), P.R. 112 (0.9%), and Pigment Orange (P.O.) 13 (11%). P.R. 122 (0.9%) and Pigment Violet (P.V.) 23 (8%) were also common. P.R. 22, P.R. 170, and P.R. 210 also dominated in patients with cross-reactions. In 22% of the biopsies, no red pigment was detected. Element anal. indicated the presence of the sensitizers nickel and chromium. Conclusions : P.R. 22, P.R. 170, and P.R. 210 were identified as the prevailing pigments behind chronic allergic reactions in red tattoos. The epitope causing the reaction might be a pigment-degradation product. Metal contamination may derive from different sources, and its role in red tattoo allergy cannot be ascertained.

Cheng, Wenchen published the artcileTBN-Catalyzed Dehydrative N-Alkylation of Anilines with 4-Hydroxybutan-2-one, Formula: C7H6N2, the main research area is aminoketone green preparation; aniline hydroxybutanone dehydrative alkylation tert butyl nitrite catalyst.

An efficient protocol was developed for the dehydrative N-alkylation of anilines with 4-hydroxybutan-2-one using TBN as catalyst in presence of TEMPO, which was different than TEMPO/TBN catalyzed oxidation reactions. A range of anilines reacted successfully with 4-hydroxybutan-2-one to generate the β-aminoketones RNHCH2CH2C(O)CH3 [R = Ph, 4-FC6H4, 3,4-di-ClC6H3, etc.] in good yields. Mechanistic studies revealed that this reaction most possibly proceeded through aza-Michael addition Water was the only byproduct, making it more environmentally friendly. The gram-scale reactions verified synthetic practicality of this protocol.

Flores, Soraya Y. published the artcileFluorinated Iron and Cobalt Phthalocyanine Nanowire Chemiresistors for Environmental Gas Monitoring at Parts-per-Billion Levels, Application of Phthalonitrile, the main research area is fluorinated iron cobalt phthalocyanine nanowire gas sensor environmental monitoring.

Herein, a single-step production for the development of gas sensing devices from unsubstituted and hexadecafluorinated metal phthalocyanines (MPc, M = Fe2+ and Co2+) is explained. The preparation of sensor devices by the direct growth of nanowires on interdigitated electrodes by the vapor transport of the synthesized MPc precursors is discussed, emphasizing a single-step approach. Results using as-prepared devices for the detection of NH3 and NO2 in the ppb range are shown. In agreement with similar MPc sensing materials, response and recovery times fitted using a double-exponential model gave two rate constants: a short one, on the order of minutes for concentrations above 500 ppb, and a long one, on the order of hours. These rate constants are suitable for environmental monitoring of gases in recovery zones, where longer exposure times are critical in the sampling process. Our F16FePc-NW sensor prototypes show a ~10% normalized response toward NH3 at 40 ppb for a measuring time of ~2.5 h at room temperature and measurable responses to concentrations as low as 5 ppb, rendering them applicable to environmental studies.

Schneider, Christian published the artcileRetrofitting metal-organic frameworks, Related Products of nitriles-buliding-blocks, the main research area is computational retrofitting metal organic framework density functional theory.

The post-synthetic installation of linker mols. between open-metal sites (OMSs) and undercoordinated metal-nodes in a metal-organic framework (MOF) – retrofitting – has recently been discovered as a powerful tool to manipulate macroscopic properties such as the mech. robustness and the thermal expansion behavior. So far, the choice of cross linkers (CLs) that are used in retrofitting experiments is based on qual. considerations. Here, we present a low-cost computational framework that provides experimentalists with a tool for evaluating various CLs for retrofitting a given MOF system with OMSs. After applying our approach to the prototypical system CL@Cu3BTC2 (BTC = 1,3,5-benzentricarboxylate) the methodol. was expanded to NOTT-100 and NOTT-101 MOFs, identifying several promising CLs for future CL@NOTT-100 and CL@NOTT-101 retrofitting experiments The developed model is easily adaptable to other MOFs with OMSs and is set-up to be used by experimentalists, providing a guideline for the synthesis of new retrofitted MOFs with modified physicochem. properties.

Poppe, Leszek published the artcileStructural and Thermodynamic Model for the Activation of Cardiac Troponin, Category: nitriles-buliding-blocks, the main research area is cardiac troponin activator structure thermodn model.

Cardiac troponin is a regulatory protein complex located on the sarcomere that regulates the engagement of myosin on actin filaments. Low-mol. weight modulators of troponin that bind allosterically with the calcium ion have the potential to improve cardiac contractility in patients with reduced cardiac function. Here we propose an approach to the rational design of troponin modulators through the combined use of solution NMR and isothermal titration calorimetry methods. In contrast to traditional approaches limited to calcium and activator-bound troponin structures, here we analyzed the structural and thermodn. impact of an activator in the context of the troponin functional cycle. This led us to propose a rationale for developing an efficacious troponin activator.

Liu, Beibei published the artcileConformational Dynamics-Guided Loop Engineering of an Alcohol Dehydrogenase: Capture, Turnover and Enantioselective Transformation of Difficult-to-Reduce Ketones, Recommanded Product: Picolinonitrile, the main research area is conformation dynamics engineering alc dehydrogenase enantioselective transformation difficult ketone.

Directed evolution of enzymes for the asym. reduction of prochiral ketones to produce enantio-pure secondary alcs. is particularly attractive in organic synthesis. Loops located at the active pocket of enzymes often participate in conformational changes required to fine-tune residues for substrate binding and catalysis. It is therefore of great interest to control the substrate specificity and stereochem. of enzymic reactions by manipulating the conformational dynamics. Herein, a secondary alc. dehydrogenase was chosen to enantioselectively catalyze the transformation of difficult-to-reduce bulky ketones, which are not accepted by the wildtype enzyme. Guided by previous work and particularly by structural anal. and mol. dynamics (MD) simulations, two key residues alanine 85 (A85) and isoleucine 86 (I86) situated at the binding pocket were thought to increase the fluctuation of a loop region, thereby yielding a larger volume of the binding pocket to accommodate bulky substrates. Subsequently, site-directed saturation mutagenesis was performed at the two sites. The best mutant, where residue alanine 85 was mutated to glycine and isoleucine 86 to leucine (A85G/I86L), can efficiently reduce bulky ketones to the corresponding pharmaceutically interesting alcs. with high enantioselectivities (∼99% ee). Taken together, this study demonstrates that introducing appropriate mutations at key residues can induce a higher flexibility of the active site loop, resulting in the improvement of substrate specificity and enantioselectivity.

Zhou, Bohang published the artcileSimple analogues of natural product chelerythrine: Discovery of a novel anticholinesterase 2-phenylisoquinolin-2-ium scaffold with excellent potency against acetylcholinesterase, Application In Synthesis of 1885-29-6, the main research area is cholinesterase inhibitor mol docking butyrylcholinesterase SAR isoquinoline; Acetylcholinesterase; Benzo[c]phenanthridine; Butyrylcholinesterase; Isoquinoline; Molecular docking; Structure-activity relationship.

As simple analogs of the natural compound chelerythrine, a novel anti-cholinesterase 2-phenylisoquinolin-2-ium scaffold was designed by structure imitation. The activity evaluation led to the discovery of seven compounds with potent anti-acetylcholinesterase activity with IC50 values of ≤0.72μM, superior to chelerythrine and standard drugs galantamine. Particularly, compound 8y(I) showed the excellent dual acetylcholinesterase-butyrylcholinesterase inhibition activity, superior to rivastigmine, a dual cholinesterase inhibitor drug. Furthermore, the compounds displayed a competitive anti-acetylcholinesterase mechanism with the substrate and low cytotoxicity. Mol. docking showed that the isoquinoline moiety is embedded in a cavity surrounded by four aromatic residues of acetylcholinesterase by the π-π action. Structure-activity relationship showed that the p-substituents on the C-ring can dramatically improve the anti-acetylcholinesterase activity, while 8-OMe can increase the activity against the two cholinesterases simultaneously. Thus, the title compounds emerged as promising lead compounds for the development of novel cholinesterase inhibitor agents.

Silva, Leticia B. published the artcile7-Amine-spiro[chromeno[4,3-b]quinoline-6,1′-cycloalkanes]: Synthesis and cholinesterase inhibitory activity of structurally modified tacrines, Formula: C7H6N2, the main research area is spirochromenoquinolinecycloalkan amine preparation cholinesterase inhibition SAR mol docking; Acetylcholinesterase (AChE); Alzheimer’s disease; Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE); Docking; Quinolone; Spirochromene; Tacrine.

Five new examples of 9,10-chloro(bromo)-7-amine-spiro[chromeno[4,3-b]quinoline-6,1′-cycloalkanes] I [R = H, Me; n = 0, 1,2; Z = 9-chloro, 10-chloro, 9-bromo, etc.] were synthesized at yields of 42-56%, using a sequential one-pot two-step cyclocondensation reaction of three different scaffolds of 2-aminobenzonitriles and the resp. spiro[chroman-2,1′-cycloalkan]-4-ones, and using AlCl3 as the catalyst in a solvent-free method. Subsequently, the five new spirochromeno-quinolines and nine quinolines I were subjected to AChE and BChE inhibitory activity evaluation. The mol. containing a spirocyclopentane derivative I had the highest AChE and BChE inhibitory activity (IC50 = 3.60 and 4.40μM, resp.), and in general, the non-halogenated compounds were better inhibitors of AChE and BChE than the halogenated mols. However, the inhibitory potency of compounds I synthesized was weaker than that of tacrine. By mol. docking simulations, it was found that the size of the spirocarbocyclic moieties I was inversely proportional to the inhibitory activity of the cholinesterases, probably because an increase in the size of the spirocyclic component sterically hindered the interaction of tacrine derivatives with the active site of tested cholinesterases. The findings obtained here was helped in the design and development of new anticholinesterase drugs.
