Linalyl anthranilate (LNA) has been identified in a number of plant extracts and essential oils by various authors using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). However, the reported retention behavior of LNA in these studies is inconsistent with the retention data provided in the NIST database. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine whether the reports of LNA were the result of misidentifications in GC-MS analyses or if the linear NIST retention index was inaccurate.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers conducted a study on the chemical reactivity of superheavy elements nihonium (Nh) and moscovium (Mc) using a new chromatography setup, revealing new insights into their properties.
  • The isotopes of Mc were produced at GSI Helmholtzzentrum in Germany, and their interaction with silicon oxide and gold surfaces was examined, providing the first measurements for their adsorption enthalpy.
  • The findings showed that Nh and Mc have weaker interactions with silicon oxide compared to their lighter counterparts, but display higher reactivity than neighboring elements copernicium and flerovium due to significant relativistic effects.

Polycaprolactone (PCL) is a biodegradable polyester that might be used in tissue engineering to obtain scaffolds for bone reconstruction using 3D-printing technologies. New material compositions based on PCL, with improved physicochemical properties and excellent biocompatibility, would improve its applicability in bone regeneration. The aim of this study was to assess the potential toxic effects of PCL-based composite materials containing 5% hydroxyapatite (PCL/SHAP), 5% bioglass (PCL/BIO), or 5% chitosan (PCL/CH) on MG-63 human fibroblast-like cells in vitro.
