The naturally derived isothiocyanate, sulphoraphene [4-isothiocyanato-(1R)-(methylsulphinyl)-1-(E)-butene], isolated from seeds of radish ( Raphanus sativus L., Cruciferae) was investigated for its antigenotoxic effects against a battery of cooked food mutagens (heterocyclic amines) in the Ames Salmonella/reversion assay using Salmonella typhimurium TA98 (frame-shift mutation sensitive) and TA100 (base -pair mutation sensitive) bacterial strains in the presence of Aroclor 1254 induced rat liver S9. Results of the present in vitro anti-mutagenicity studies using the base-pair mutation sensitive strain TA100, strongly suggest that sulphoraphene is a potent inhibitor of the S9-mediated mutagenicity of all the tested heterocyclic amines (60 - 75 % inhibition at a dose of 500 nmol/plate).

ConspectusThe manipulation of strained rings is a powerful strategy for accessing the valuable chemical frameworks present in natural products and active pharmaceutical ingredients. Aziridines, the smallest N-containing heterocycles, have long served as building blocks for constructing more complex amine-containing scaffolds. Traditionally, the reactivity of typical aziridines has been focused on ring-opening by nucleophiles or the formation of 1,3-dipoles.

Due to their conductive properties and optoelectronic tunability, MXenes have revolutionized the area of electrocatalysis and active materials in supercapacitors. In comparison, there are only a few reports on MXenes as thermal catalysts for general organic reactions. Herein, the unprecedented catalytic activity of TiC MXene for the hydroamination of alkynes is reported, overcoming the limitations of poor activity, lack of selectivity, and stability, which are generally encountered in the solid catalysts known so far.

Despite numerous reports on the procoagulant activities of G-CSF, the effect of plerixafor on the hemostatic system is not clearly understood. This study aims to evaluate the effects of plerixafor on the hemostatic system when used for autologous stem cell mobilization (ASCM) for poor mobilizers (PM) with lymphoma and multiple myeloma. Patients who were performed ASCM with plerixafor in combination with GCSF were prospectively enrolled.

Metastable-state photoacid (mPAH) has become a common tool for controlling and driving chemical processes with light. However, previously developed mPAHs could not be used for reversible protonation of strong bases, including many common amines and heterocycles. In this work, we developed a novel mPAH using benzimidazole as the structural moiety with the active proton.
