The Free-Wilson equations are derived for the case of symmetrical substitution and are applied, in four modifications, to in vitro inhibitory activity of 77 organic disulfides against Histoplasma capsulatum. Substituent constants are listed to aid in the design of new inhibitory agents against this human pathogen (and perhaps other fungal organisms).

Disentangling activity-stability trade-off in the catalytic degradation of malodorous sulfur-containing VOCs driven by active sites' self-dynamic evolution.

Electronic address:

The catalytic degradation of malodorous sulfur-containing volatile organic compounds (S-VOCs), especially methanethiol (CHSH), faces an enormous challenge in striking a balance between activity and stability. Herein, we develop the time-tandem and spatial-extended strategy for synthesizing t-MoO/meso-SiO nano-reactor-type catalysts and reveal the migration and transformation behaviors of both carbon and sulfur species at the mesoscopic scale to break the catalytic CHSH activity and stability trade-off. The dynamic evolution of active centers from initial oxygen sites and acid sites to sulfur vacancies in MoS during the reaction process as well as the formation of a new dimethyl disulfide (CHSSCH) reaction pathway are identified as the main reason for the catalysts' superior activity and sulfur resistance.

Advances in cross-coupling and oxidative coupling reactions of NH-sulfoximines - a review.

Chem Commun (Camb)

January 2025

College of Materials, Chemistry & Chemical Engineering, Chengdu University of Technology, Chengdu 610059, China.

Due to the special structure and physicochemical properties of sulfoximines, research on sulfoximines has achieved great progress in recent decades, especially in chemical and medicinal fields. This review highlights recent advancements in the N-functionalization of NH-sulfoximines, focusing on classical cross-coupling reactions with electrophilic agents and oxidative coupling reactions with extensive organic compounds, including specific (hetero)arenes, alkenes (1,4-naphthoquinones), alkanes (cyclohexanes), nucleophiles (thiols, disulfides, sulfinates, diarylphosphine oxides), organyl boronic acids, and arylhydrazines. Transition metal-catalyzed, metal-free, electrochemical and radical oxidative coupling reactions are discussed.

Toward Fast-Charging and Dendritic-Free Li Growth on Natural Graphite Through Intercalation/Conversion on MoS Nanosheets.

Adv Mater

Institute for Superconducting & Electronic Materials (ISEM), Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences, University of Wollongong, Innovation Campus, Squires Way, North Wollongong, NSW, 2500, Australia.

Article Synopsis
  • During fast-charging, uneven lithium plating on graphite anodes leads to performance issues and safety risks for lithium-ion batteries due to the formation of a passivation layer known as the solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI).
  • A molybdenum disulfide (MoS) coating on natural graphite modifies the SEI properties, resulting in faster charging times and improved long-term cycling performance by enhancing lithium transport and reducing interfacial resistance.
  • The MoS-NG anode demonstrates superior fast-charging capabilities, achieving a charging time of 14.7 minutes at 80% state of charge, making it a viable option for electric vehicle applications over 300 cycles without sacrificing energy density.

Effective glycemic control is paramount for optimal wound healing in diabetic patients. Traditional antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatments, while important, often fall short in addressing the hyperglycemic conditions of diabetic wounds. Therefore, the development of novel therapeutic strategies for accelerating diabetic wound healing has garnered escalating attention.

Enhancing Ferroptosis-Mediated Radiosensitization Synergistic Disulfidptosis Induction.

ACS Nano

December 2024

Guangzhou Key Laboratory of Tumor Immunology Research, Cancer Research Institute, School of Basic Medical Sciences, Southern Medical University, Guangzhou 510515, P.R. China.

Ferroptosis plays an important role in radiotherapy (RT), and the induction of ferroptosis can effectively sensitize radiotherapy. However, the therapeutic efficiency is always affected by ferroptosis resistance, especially SLC7A11 (Solute Carrier Family 7 Member 11)-cystine-cysteine-GSH (glutathione)-GPX4 (glutathione peroxidase 4) pathway-mediated resistance. In this study, tumor-microenvironment self-activated high-Z element-containing nanoferroptosis inducers, PEGylated Fe-Bi-SS metal-organic frameworks (FBSP MOFs), were developed to sensitize RT.
