Enantioselective syntheses of the potent antifungal agent (-)-jesterone, its hydroxy epimer, and a dimeric quinone epoxide derivative are reported. The synthesis involves diastereoselective epoxidation of a chiral quinone monoketal derivative and regio- and stereoselective reduction of a quinone epoxide intermediate.

Background: Arterial thrombosis is one of the most significant healthcare concerns in the world. Echinochrome A (Ech-A) is a natural quinone pigment isolated from sea urchins. It has a variety of medicinal values associated with its antioxidant, anticancer, antiviral, anti-diabetic, and cardio-protective activities.

Background: Reports of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) to phytonadione epoxide (PE) in cosmetics suggest that PE is as powerful a sensitiser as its parent compound phytonadione.
Objective: To evaluate a case series of ACD to PE in Spain.
Methods: We reviewed the records of 20 patients with ACD to cosmetics containing PE diagnosed across Spain between January 2019 and June 2023.
Total syntheses of borolithochromes H1, H2, I1, and I2.

Total syntheses of borolithochromes H1, H2, I1, and I2, the red pigments isolated from fossils of Jurassic putative red alga Solenopora jurassica, have been achieved. The naphthoquinone possessing a chiral sec-butyl side chain has been synthesized from (S)-2-methylbutanol. The Diels-Alder reaction of the chiral naphthoquinone and the previously reported diene was followed by one pot S-methylation/intramolecular Corey-Chaykovsky reaction/epoxide rearrangement to provide the benzo[gh]tetraphene skeleton.

Leachables in pharmaceutical products may react with biomolecule active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), for example, monoclonal antibodies (mAb), peptides, and ribonucleic acids (RNA), potentially compromising product safety and efficacy or impacting quality attributes. This investigation explored a series of models to screen extractables and leachables to assess their possible reactivity with biomolecules. These models were applied to collections of known leachables to identify functional and structural chemical classes likely to be flagged by these approaches.
