Published: April 2008

By a simple methodology, we have synthesized 68 carboxamides, with structural analogy to the most efficient mosquitoes repellent DEET (N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide, 9). Eight of them have very promising olfactory profiles. In addition, 34 carboxamides have been tested for their repellency properties against three breeds of cockroach; six of them are excellent in this domain. Two of these, the 2-ethyl-N-isopropyl-N-methylbutanamide and N,N-diallyl-2-ethylbutanamide combine both the positive aspects, and are thus very good candidates for use in functional perfumery, and more particularly in home-care formulations.

Introduction: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory disease. Patients with UC typically exhibit disruption of the Treg/Th17 immune axis, but its exact mechanism is still unclear.

Methods: This study first analyzed RNA- seq data from public databases of humans and mice, and cytology experiments were conducted to induce or inhibit the expression of SIRT1.

Environmental heavy metal contamination, combined with inappropriate use of fungicides, has led to the co-existence of lead (Pb) and iprodione (IPR), presenting signification risks to ecosystems and human health. The toxic effects resulting from concurrent exposure to Pb and IPR, however, remain poorly understood. In the study, we conducted a comprehensive 60-day subchronic study to investigate the toxic effects on the liver and gut in parental male zebrafish through employing multi-omics analyses.
