Biobased Polyesters with Ultrahigh UV Shielding and Water Degradation Derived from Multifunctional Tetracyclic Diesters.

Biomacromolecules

January 2025

Dalian Key Laboratory of Green Manufacturing Technology for Fine Chemicals Production, College of Environmental and Chemical Engineering, Dalian University, Dalian 116622, P. R. China.

The development of biobased polyesters with the combination of high UV shielding and degradability is a significant challenge. Herein, three 4-membered cyclic monomers containing two pyrrolidone and two furan rings were prepared by the aza-Michael addition of biobased bifuran diamine and dimethyl itaconate (DMI). They were available in melt polycondensation reactions with various diols to synthesize biobased polyesters.

A sodium alginate-based injectable hydrogel system for locoregional treatment of colorectal cancer by eliciting pyroptosis and apoptosis.

Int J Biol Macromol

Effective delivery of sufficient doxorubicin (DOX) molecules in tumors is hindered by the complex biological barriers. Herein, a DOX-loaded sodium alginate-based injectable hydrogel (DOX@MHB-conj-SA) was designed by the Michael addition reactions between the sulfydryl in cross-linkers and the double bonds in a derivative of sodium alginate. DOX@MHB-conj-SA was administrated to CT26 tumor-bearing mice via peritumoral injection for locoregional treatment of colorectal cancer by inducing apoptosis and pyroptosis.

Dynamic Covalent Spiropyran Exchange for Rapid Structural Diversification.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

January 2025

Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Department of Chemistry, Laboratory of Organic Chemistry and Functional Materials, Brook-Taylor-Str. 2, 12489, Berlin, GERMANY.

Here we disclose that spiropyrans are able to undergo dynamic covalent exchange via their corresponding merocyanine isomers. In the latter, the indolinium moieties can be exchanged by a Michael-type addition-elimination sequence, in which a methylene indoline attacks a merocyanine and subsequently the initial indoline fragment is cleaved. The rate and position of the exchange equilibrium strongly depend on the reaction conditions as well as the substitution pattern on the methylene indoline fragments.

Article Synopsis
  • Aging leads to physiological changes and increased disease vulnerability, culminating in higher mortality rates as individuals get older.
  • Regular physical activity (PA) and exercise can counteract aging effects, improve health span, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer.
  • Personalized exercise plans, including various forms of training like aerobic and resistance exercises, are essential for maintaining health and functionality in older adults, particularly those with age-related issues.
