With regards to applied, facile, green chem. research, a bio-inspired approach is being reported for the synthesis of Au NPs by using Tribulus terrestris extract The innate oxygenated phytochems. facilitated the green reduction of Au3+ ions to corresponding NPs and also stabilized them by encapsulating them. This modification prevented the as-synthesized Au NPs towards agglomeration and tiny NPs were obtained in uniformly spherical in shape and at 10-15 nm dimension. Physicochem. characteristics of the green synthesized Au NPs were evaluated by advanced physicochem. techniques like UV-visible and FTIR spectroscopy, SEM, TEM, EDX and XRD study. Catalytic performance of the biomol. functionalized Au NPs was studied in the controlled and selective oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides using hydrogen peroxide as green oxidant at room temperature Aromatic, aliphatic and heterocyclic sulfides were oxidized to their corresponding sulfoxides with high yields without formation of over oxidized sulfones. The catalyst was easily recovered and recycled for 8 successive times without noticeable decrease in catalytic activity. In addition, the biosynthesized Au NPs indicated suitable antioxidant and anti-acute leukemia properties against THP-1 cell line. Tribulus terrestris extract and the green synthesized Au NPs exhibited a maximum DPPH scavenging activity of 78% and 29.37%, resp. Again, in the anticancer studies over THP-1 cell line following MTT assay, the Au NP exhibited gradual reduced % cell viability with increase in its concentration At an Au NPs concentration of 2000μg/mL, the % toxicity became maximum suggesting efficient inhibition of cancer invasion. Based on the above results, Au NPs-Tribulus could be administered as a potential anti-leukemia drug for the treatment of acute leukemia following the clin. trial studies in humans.

Zhang, Y-J; Zhao, H; Dong, L; Zhen, Y-F; Xing, H-Y; Ma, H-J; Song, G-Y published the artcile< Resveratrol ameliorates high-fat diet-induced insulin resistance and fatty acid oxidation via ATM-AMPK axis in skeletal muscle.>, COA of Formula: C14H12O3, the main research area is .

OBJECTIVE: Resveratrol (RSV) is a polyphenolic phytoalexin that exhibits diverse pharmacological actions, including its effect on the insulin resistance. However, the mechanism through which RSV improves insulin resistance is not fully understood yet. The aim of this study was to determine the mechanism through which RSV ameliorates insulin resistance in skeletal muscle of high-fat diet (HFD)-induced mouse model, as well as palmitic acid (PA) treated L6 cells, with a specific focus on the response of RSV on fatty acid oxidation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Male C57BL6/J mice were randomly divided into three groups: normal diet-fed mice (ND), the high-fat diet-fed mice (HFD), HFD supplemented with RSV (100 mg/kg body weight [BW]/day orally; n = 10). Fasting plasma glucose, insulin, total cholesterol, triglyceride (TG), and free fatty acid levels were determined. The intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test was used to measure blood glucose and area under the curve. The quantitative insulin sensitivity index was calculated to assess insulin resistance. Skeletal muscles were collected for histology study and protein expression measurement. L6 cells were cultured with PA and the glucose concentration in the culture medium, and the intracellular TG levels were tested. RSV, chloroquine, palmitoyltransferase and Ku-55933 were administered to differentiate L6 cells. RESULTS: The HFD fed mice showed increased BW, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia. The expressions of ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM), 5′ adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1, cytochrome oxidase subunit IV protein were significantly decreased in the skeletal muscles of HFD fed mice and PA-treated L6 cells. All these effects induced by HFD and PA were reversed by RSV treatment. CONCLUSIONS: ATM is a key factor to improve HFD-induced lipid metabolism and insulin resistance in skeletal muscles. The effects of RSV on ameliorating HFD-induced abnormal lipid metabolism and insulin resistance mediated through ATM-AMPK pathway may due to its improvement in fatty acid oxidation efficiency and sequential reduction in ROS production in skeletal muscle. These results provide important theoretical evidence for the application of RSV in the prevention and treatment of diabetes mellitus and related metabolic diseases.

Longwitz, Lars; Jopp, Stefan; Werner, Thomas published the artcile< Organocatalytic Chlorination of Alcohols by P(III)/P(V) Redox Cycling>, Name: Triphenylmethanol, the main research area is alkyl chloride preparation organocatalyst alc chlorination.

A catalytic system for the chlorination of alcs. under Appel conditions was developed. Benzotrichloride was used as a cheap and readily available chlorinating agent in combination with trioctylphosphine as the catalyst and phenylsilane as the terminal reductant. The reaction has several advantages over other variants of the Appel reaction, e.g., no addnl. solvent is required and the phosphine reagent was used only in catalytic amounts In total, 27 different primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl chlorides were synthesized in yields up to 95%. Under optimized conditions, it was also possible to convert epoxides and an oxetane to the dichlorinated products.

Mousavi, S. M.; Milajerdi, A.; Sheikhi, A.; Kord-Varkaneh, H.; Feinle-Bisset, C.; Larijani, B.; Esmaillzadeh, A. published the artcile< Resveratrol supplementation significantly influences obesity measures: a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials>, Name: (E)-5-(4-Hydroxystyryl)benzene-1,3-diol, the main research area is meta analysis resveratrol supplementation body weight mass index obesity; dose-response; meta-analysis; obesity; resveratrol; weight.

Summary : This study aimed to summarize earlier randomized controlled trials on the effects of resveratrol supplementation on body weight (BW), body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and fat mass (FM). We searched PubMed, SCOPUS, Cochrane Library and Google Scholar from inception to Apr. 2018 using relevant keywords. All clin. trials investigating the effects of resveratrol supplementation on BW, BMI, WC and FM in adults were included. Overall, 28 trials were included. Pooled effect sizes suggested a significant effect of resveratrol administration on weight (weighted mean differences [WMD]: -0.51 kg, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -0.94 to -0.09; I2 = 50.3%, P = 0.02), BMI (WMD: -0.17 kg m-2, 95% CI: -0.32, -0.03; I2 = 49.6%, P = 0.02) and WC (WMD: -0.79 cm, 95% CI: -1.39, -0.2; I2 = 13.4%, P = 0.009), resp. However, no significant effect of resveratrol supplementation on FM was found (WMD: -0.36%, 95% CI: -0.88, 0.15; I2 = 0.0%, P = 0.16). Findings from subgroup anal. revealed a significant reduction in BW and BMI in trials using resveratrol at the dosage of <500 mg d-1, those with long-term interventions (≥3 mo), and performed on people with obesity. Taken together, the data suggest that resveratrol supplementation has beneficial effects to reduce BW, BMI and WC, but not FM.

Sabogal-Guaqueta, Angelica Maria; Hobbie, Fabian; Keerthi, Akshaya; Oun, Asmaa; Kortholt, Arjan; Boddeke, Erik; Dolga, Amalia published the artcile< Linalool attenuates oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction mediated by glutamate and NMDA toxicity>, HPLC of Formula: 78-70-6, the main research area is linalool oxidative stress mitochondrial dysfunction glutamate NMDA toxicity; Linalool; Mitochondria; Neuroprotection; OHSC; Oxidative stress.

Mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammation contribute to the initiation and development of several brain pathol. conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease and cerebral ischemia. Linalool is an aromatic plant-derived monoterpene alc. with reported anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidant properties. We investigated the role of linalool on glutamate-induced mitochondrial oxidative stress in immortalized neuronal HT-22 cells. Glutamate induced oxidative stress in neuronal cells, as detected by real-time cell impedance measurements, MTT assay, and anal. of Annexin V/PI. Administration of linalool 100μM reduced cell death mediated by glutamate. Staining of glutamate-stimulated mitochondria by MitoTracker revealed improved morphol. in the presence of linalool. Furthermore, we demonstrated a potential neuroprotective effect of linalool in conditions of oxidative stress by a reduction of mitochondrial ROS and mitochondrial calcium levels, and by preserving mitochondrial membrane potential. Experiments using both high-resolution respirometry and Seahorse Extracellular flux analyzer showed that linalool was able to promote an increase in uncoupled respiration that could contribute to its neuroprotective capacity. Linalool protection was validated using organotypic hippocampal slices as ex vivo model with NMDA as a stimulus to induce excitotoxity cell damage. These results demonstrate that linalool is protective in an in vitro model of glutamate-induced oxidative stress and in an ex-vivo model for excitotoxity, proposing linalool as a potential therapeutic agent against neurodegenerative brain diseases where oxidative stress contributes to the pathol. of the disease.

Huang, Zhujun; Chen, Zhe; Jiang, Yuan; Li, Ning; Yang, Shicheng; Wang, Guowei; Pan, Xiangcheng published the artcile< Metal-Free Hydrosilylation Polymerization by Merging Photoredox and Hydrogen Atom Transfer Catalysis>, Category: alcohols-buliding-blocks, the main research area is metal hydrosilylation polymerization merging photoredox hydrogen atom transfer catalysis.

Organosilicon compounds and polymers have found wide applications as synthetic building blocks and functional materials. Hydrosilylation is a common strategy toward the synthesis of organosilicon compounds and polymers. Although transition-metal-catalyzed hydrosilylation has achieved great advances, the metal-free hydrosilylation polymerization of dienes and bis(silane)s, especially the one suitable for both electron-rich and electron-deficient dienes, is largely lacking. Herein, the authors report a visible-light-driven metal-free hydrosilylation polymerization of both electron-rich and electron-deficient dienes with bis(silane)s by using the organic photocatalyst and hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) catalyst. The authors achieved the well-controlled step-growth hydrosilylation polymerizations of the electron-rich diene and bis(silane) monomer due to the selective activation of Si-H bonds by the organic photocatalyst (4CzIPN) and the thiol polarity reversal reagent (HAT 1). For the electron-deficient dienes, hydrosilylation polymerization and self-polymerization occurred simultaneously in the presence of 4CzIPN and aceclidine (HAT 2), providing the opportunity to produce linear, hyperbranched, and network polymers by rationally tuning the concentration of electron-deficient dienes and the ratio of bis(silane)s and dienes to alter the proportion of the two polymerizations A wide scope of bis(silane)s and dienes furnished polycarbosilanes with high mol. weight, excellent thermal stability, and tunable architectures.

Zhang, Jianmin; Huitema, Carly; Niu, Chunying; Yin, Jiang; James, Michael N. G.; Eltis, Lindsay D.; Vederas, John C. published the artcile< Aryl methylene ketones and fluorinated methylene ketones as reversible inhibitors for severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) 3C-like proteinase>, Related Products of 22620-34-4, the main research area is aryl methylene ketone derivative preparation SARS 3C proteinase inhibitor; fluorinated methylene ketone derivative preparation SARS 3C proteinase inhibitor; structure activity SARS 3C like proteinase inhibiting ketone derivative.

The severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) virus depends on a chymotrypsin-like cysteine proteinase (3CLpro) to process the translated polyproteins to functional viral proteins. This enzyme is a target for the design of potential anti-SARS drugs. A series of ketones and corresponding mono- and di-fluoro ketones having two or three aromatic rings were synthesized as possible reversible inhibitors of SARS 3CLpro. The design was based on previously established potent inhibition of the enzyme by oxa analogs (esters), which also act as substrates. Structure-activity relationships and modeling studies indicate that three aromatic rings, including a 5-bromopyridin-3-yl moiety, are key features for good inhibition of SARS 3CLpro. 2-(5-Bromopyridin-3-yl)-1-(5-(4-chlorophenyl)furan-2-yl)ethanone and its α-monofluorinated analog, gave the best reversible inhibition with IC50 values of 13 μM and 28 μM, resp. In contrast to inhibitors having two aromatic rings, α-fluorination of compounds with three rings unexpectedly decreased the inhibitory activity.

Adhitama, Nikko; Kato, Yasuhiko; Matsuura, Tomoaki; Watanabe, Hajime published the artcile< Roles of and cross-talk between ecdysteroid and sesquiterpenoid pathways in embryogenesis of branchiopod crustacean Daphnia magna>, Computed Properties of 434-16-2, the main research area is Daphnia embryogenesis ecdysteroid sesquiterpenoid signaling pathway.

In this study, we report on the functions of Spo and Jhamt and the cross-talk between them in embryos of branchiopod crustacean Daphnia magna. This phenotype could be partially rescued by supplementation with 20-hydroxyecdysone, indicating that Spo may play the same role in ecdysteroid biosynthesis in early embryos, as reported in insects. After hatching, Spo expression was repressed, while Jhamt expression was activated transiently, despite its silencing during other embryonic stages. Jhamt RNAi showed little effect on survival, but shortened the embryonic period. Exposure to sesquiterpenoid analog Fenoxycarb extended the embryonic period and rescued the Jhamt RNAi phenotype, demonstrating a previously unidentified role of sesquiterpenoid in repression of precocious embryogenesis. Interestingly, the knockdown of Jhamt resulted in derepression of ecdysteroid biosynthesis genes, including Spo, similar to regulation during insect hormonal biosynthesis. Sesquiterpenoid signaling via Methoprene-tolerant gene was found to be responsible for the repression of ecdysteroid biosynthesis genes. It upregulated an ortholog of CYP18a1 that degrades ecdysteroid in insects. These results illuminate the conserved and specific functions of the ecdysteroid and sesquiterpenoid pathways in Daphnia embryos. We also infer that the common ancestor of branchiopod crustaceans and insects exhibited antagonism between the two endocrine hormones before their divergence 400 million years ago.
