Free radical addition reactions of tetrahydrothiophene, pentamethylene sulfide, and 1,4-thioxane with various cyclic and acyclic per- and polyfluorinated olefins are readily initiated by di-tert-butyl peroxide, providing a convenient route for synthesizing cyclic sulfanes with fluorinated side groups. Tetrahydrothiophene reacts with hexafluoropropene, perfluoroallylbenzene, perfluorocyclobutene, and 1,2-dichlorotetrafluorocyclobutene in the presence of catalytic amounts of the peroxide to give the corresponding addition products CH(2)CH(2)CH(2)SCHCF(2)CHFCF(3) (1), CH(2)CH(2)CH(2)SCHCF(2)CHFCF(2)C(6)F(5) (2), CH(2)CH(2)CH(2)SCHCFCHFCF(2)CF(2) (3), and CH(2)CH(2)CH(2)SCHCClCHClCF(2)CF(2) (4), respectively. Pentamethylene sulfide reacts analogously with hexafluoropropene to give CH(2)CH(2)CH(2)CH(2)SCHCF(2)CHFCF(3) (8). Reaction of 1,4-thioxane with hexafluoropropene or perfluoroallylbenzene gives a mixture of two products, OCH(2)CH(2)SCH(2)CHCF(2)CHFCF(3) (9) and SCH(2)CH(2)OCH(2)CHCF(2)CHFCF(3) (10) or OCH(2)CH(2)SCH(2)CHCF(2)CHFCF(2)C(6)F(5) (11) and SCH(2)CH(2)OCH(2)CHCF(2)CHFCF(2)C(6)F(5) (12), respectively. Fluorinated alcohols C(6)F(5)CF(2)CHFCF(2)C(CH(3))(2)OH (15), C(6)F(5)CF(2)CHFCF(2)CH(CH(3))OH (16), and C(6)F(5)CF(2)CHFCF(2)CH(2)OH (17) are prepared by reacting perfluoroallylbenzene with the corresponding alcohols. When 15 is reacted with pentafluorobenzonitrile in the presence of potassium carbonate, an unexpected cyclic ether 19 is obtained as the major product in addition to C(6)F(5)CF(2)CHFCF(2)C(CH(3))(2)OC(6)F(5)CN (18). Alcohols 15-17 can be cyclized by heating with potassium carbonate to give fluorinated cyclic ethers 19-21. The X-ray crystal structures of acyclic ether 18 and cyclic ether 19 are given. Compound 18 crystallizes in the tetragonal system, space group P4(2)/n, with a = 18.471(0) Å, b = 18.471(0) Å, c = 11.702(0) Å, V = 3992.5(9) Å(3), D(calc) = 1.768 mg/m(3), Z = 8, and R = 0.0617. Compound 19 crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P&onemacr;, with a = 8.103(3) Å, b = 8.790(3) Å, c = 9.832(3) Å, alpha = 66.25(4) degrees, beta = 72.01(3) degrees, gamma = 80.19(4) degrees, V = 608.7(4) Å(3), D(calc) = 1.845 mg/m(3), Z = 2, and R = 0.0346.

Breast cancer (BCa) is a highly prevalent pathological condition (̴30% in women) with limited and subtype-dependent prognosis and therapeutic options. Therefore, BCa management might benefit from the identification of novel molecular elements with clinical potential. Since splicing process is gaining a great relevance in cancer, this work analysed the expression of multiple Spliceosome Components (SCs = 17) and Splicing Factors (SFs = 26) and found a drastic dysregulation in BCa (n = 69) vs.

Introduction: Ethylene oxide (EtO) is a reactive gas commonly used in the production of various chemical compounds. Research has linked EtO exposure to respiratory conditions, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. However, its potential effects on chronic bronchitis (CB) remain unclear, highlighting the need for further study to understand its role in respiratory health.

Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) regulates both oxidative stress and mitochondrial biogenesis. Our previous study reported the cardioprotection of calycosin against triptolide toxicity through promoting mitochondrial biogenesis by activating nuclear respiratory factor 1 (NRF1), a coregulatory effect contributed by Nrf2 was not fully elucidated. This work aimed at investigating the involvement of Nrf2 in mitochondrial protection and elucidating Nrf2/NRF1 signaling crosstalk on amplifying the detoxification of calycosin.

Salinomycin is a polyether ionophore widely used for the treatment of coccidiosis in poultry. However, the emergence of coccidia strains resistant to salinomycin presents challenges for control efforts, and the mechanisms underlying this resistance in Eimeria remain inadequately understood. In this study, 78 stable salinomycin-resistant strains were generated through experimental evolution approaches.

Drugs that eliminate senescent cells, senolytics, can be powerful when combined with prosenescence cancer therapies. Using a CRISPR/Cas9-based genetic screen, we identify here SLC25A23 as a vulnerability of senescent cancer cells. Suppressing SLC25A23 disrupts cellular calcium homeostasis, impairs oxidative phosphorylation, and interferes with redox signaling, leading to death of senescent cells.
