We report a new and efficient ruthenium-catalyzed reaction that transforms ethynyl alcohol into alkene and carbon monoxide. The most efficient catalysts are TpRu(PPh3)(CH3CN)2PF6 (10 mol %) and lithium triflate (20 mol %). The mechanism of this reaction was elucidated using an isotope-labeling experiment.

Differential reductions in alcohol consumption and cue-induced alcohol-seeking behavior following mGlu5 receptor inhibition in the prelimbic vs. infralimbic subregions of the rat prefrontal cortex.

Glutamatergic signaling is one of the primary targets of actions of alcohol in the brain, and dysregulated excitatory transmission in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) may contribute problematic drinking and relapse. A prominent component of glutamate signaling is the type 5 metabotropic glutamate (mGlu5) receptor. However, little is known about the role of this receptor type in subregions of the PFC that regulate either alcohol intake or alcohol-seeking behavior.

This study was conducted to investigate whether lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) could improve the development of porcine somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) embryos. Porcine SCNT-derived embryos were cultured in chemically defined polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-based porcine zygote medium (PZM)-4 without or with LPA, and the development, cell proliferation potential, apoptosis, and expression levels of pluripotent markers were evaluated. LPA significantly increased the rates of cleavage and blastocyst formation compared to those seen in the LPA un-treatment (control) group.

Article Synopsis
- Structural conjugation in COF photocatalysts significantly influences their optical and electronic characteristics, with 2D hydrazone COFs demonstrating varied performances based on their frameworks.
- AC-COF outperformed BPh-COF by achieving broader visible-light absorption and improved charge transfer due to its enhanced planarity, resulting in an ideal bandgap for efficient oxidative coupling reactions.
- AC-COF not only exhibits excellent product conversion and functional tolerance in various reactions, including a novel etherification process, but also highlights the potential for developing advanced COF photocatalysts for solar-to-chemical energy conversion.

SKI-349 is a novel sphingosine kinases (SPHK) inhibitor with anti-tumor effects. This study aimed to assess the effect of SKI-349 on cell biological behaviors, downstream pathways, and its synergistic effect with sorafenib in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HCC cell lines (Huh7 and Hep3B) were treated with SKI-349 at concentrations of 1, 2, 4, or 8 μM.

Article Synopsis
- 1,4-Butanediol (BDO) is crucial for creating valuable chemical products, and its production involves ethynylation of formaldehyde through the Reppe process, yet the reaction mechanism has been poorly understood.
- A study using density functional theory (DFT) explored this mechanism on copper surfaces, constructing a reaction network and calculating adsorption properties along with energy barriers for key reactions.
- The formation of propargyl alcohol (PA) and 1,4-butynediol (BYD) occurs through two main steps, with hydrogen transfer and dehydrogenation being the critical rate-limiting steps, featuring energy barriers of 1.43 eV and 1.51 eV respectively.
