Disulfiram and calcium carbimide are two alcohol deterrants widely used in alcoholism treatment, however, there exist great concerns over their safety. Reports on hepatotoxicity, mainly related to disulfiram therapy, have been published. The hepatotoxic potential of calcium carbimide is less well characterized. Here, we describe four cases of liver damage related to this therapeutic group that were submitted to a Registry of hepatotoxicity and point out the limitations that we face when prescribing these compounds. A reassessment of the role of these compounds in the management of alcohol dependence is clearly needed.

Hydration dynamics and solvent viscosity play critical roles in the structure and function of biomolecules. An overwhelming body of evidence suggests that protein and membrane fluctuations are closely linked to solvent fluctuations. While extensive research exists on the use of vibrational probes to detect local interactions and solvent dynamics, fewer studies have explored how the behavior of these reporters changes in response to bulk viscosity.

Article Synopsis
- A new method was developed to create 2-amino-3-substituted quinoline-4(3)-ones and -phenylbenzamide derivatives using inexpensive materials and a simple process.
- The synthesis involves Ullmann cross-coupling with cyanamide, 2-bromo-phenylbenzamide, copper iodide, and potassium tert-butoxide in dimethyl sulfoxide, all of which can be done under air conditions without ligands.
- Additionally, the research shows that other nucleophilic reagents like water and amines can also be used to produce 2-functionalized phenylbenzamides.

Zinc (Zn)-based materials are cost-effective and promising single-metal catalysts for CO electroreduction to CO but is still challenged by low selectivity and long-term stability. Undercoordinated Zn (Zn) sites have been demonstrated to be powerful active centers with appropriate COOH affinity for efficient CO production However, electrochemical reduction conditions generally cause the inevitable reduction of Zn, resulting in the decline of CO efficiency over prolonged operation. Herein, a Zn cyanamide (ZnNCN) catalyst is constructed for highly selective and durable CO electroreduction, wherein the delocalized Zn d-electrons and resonant structure of cyanamide ligand prevent the self-reduction of ZnNCN and maintain Zn sites under cathodic conditions.
