Vectisol Formulation Enhances Solubility of Resveratrol and Brings Its Benefits to Kidney Transplantation in a Preclinical Porcine Model.

Current organ shortages have led centers to extend the acceptance criteria for organs, increasing the risk for adverse outcomes. Current preservation protocols have not been adapted so as to efficiently protect these organs. Herein, we target oxidative stress, the key mechanism of ischemia reperfusion injury.

Elaboration of antibiofilm surfaces functionalized with antifungal-cyclodextrin inclusion complexes.

To tackle the loss of activity of surfaces functionalized by coating and covalently bound molecules to materials, an intermediate system implying the noncovalent immobilization of active molecules in the inner cavity of grafted cyclodextrins (CDs) was investigated. The antifungal and antibiofilm activities of the most stable complexes of Anidulafungin (ANF; echinocandin) and thymol (THY; terpen) in various CDs were demonstrated to be almost the same as the free molecules. The selected CD was covalently bond to self-assembled monolayers on gold surfaces.

Rearrangement of a mesylate tropane intermediate in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Synthesis of aza-bicyclo[3.2.1]octane and aza-bicyclo[3.2.2]nonane ethers, imides, and amines.

Nucleophilic substitution of 2beta-mesyloxymethyl-N-methyl-3beta-p-tolyl-tropane intermediate with alkoxides, metal imides, or amines was found to lead not only to the expected bicyclo[3.2.1]octane (tropane) ether, imide, and amine derivatives but also to unexpected bicyclo[3.
