Bimetallic Ru-Ir/Rh complexes with the Ru-based metalloligand -(bpy)Ru(PPh) (RuP) serve as catalysts for the selective reduction of allyl alcohol to propylene, employing H gas or an electrochemical setup. Metal-metal bonded key π-allyl intermediates [(RuP)M(η-CH)] (M = Ir, Rh) are identified, advancing the understanding of the catalytic processes.

18-β-Glycyrrhetinic acid, a major component of licorice, stimulated the proliferation of both dermal papilla cells and outer root sheath cells isolated from human hair follicles. Thus, suggesting that this compound promotes hair growth. Furthermore, this compound inhibited the activity of testosterone 5α-reductase, an enzyme responsible for converting androgen to dihydroandrogen, with an IC of 137.

Article Synopsis
  • Air pollution can harm the skin, causing inflammation and aging, which has led researchers to explore plant-based antioxidants for protection.
  • A study focused on star fruit extract (SFE) and its flavonoid C-glycosides, showing they can effectively combat skin damage from pollutants.
  • Results indicated that SFE and certain compounds significantly reduced signs of skin stress and inflammation in human skin cells affected by air pollution.
