Throw your hat in the ring: A highly diastereoselective synthesis of the ABC rings of (-)-norzoanthamine has been achieved starting from the (-)-Hajos-Parrish ketone (see scheme). Three asymmetric quaternary carbon centers on the C ring were constructed by a 1,4-addition, and an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction provided a trans-decalin scaffold on the AB rings.

The presence of defects can significantly improve catalytic activity and stability, as they influence the binding of the reactants, intermediates, and products to the catalyst. Controlling defects in the structures of nanocrystal catalysts is synthetically challenging. In this study, we demonstrate the ability to control the growth of Ir nanocrystals, enabling the tuning of both structural and surface defects.

Methyl orange (MO) is an organic synthetic dye widely used in laboratory and industrial applications. In laboratory settings, it serves as an acid-base indicator due to its distinct color change in both acidic and alkaline environments. Industrially, it is primarily utilized in the textile industry for its ultraviolet (UV) absorption properties.

Chitosan is widely used in drug delivery applications, due to its biocompatibility, bio-degradability, and low toxicity. Nevertheless, its properties can be enhanced through the physical or chemical modification of its amino and hydroxyl groups. This work explores the electrostatic complexation of two chitosan samples of differing lengths with two poly(-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) homopolymers of different molecular weight carrying a chargeable carboxyl end group.

Macrophage mitochondrial dysfunction, caused by oxidative stress, has been proposed as an essential event in the progression of chronic inflammation diseases, such as atherosclerosis. The cluster of differentiation-36 (CD36) and lectin-like oxLDL receptor-1 (LOX-1) scavenger receptors mediate macrophage uptake of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL), which contributes to mitochondrial dysfunction by sustained production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS), as well as membrane depolarization. In the present study, the antioxidant mechanisms of action of the selective synthetic azapeptide CD36 ligand MPE-298 have been revealed.

Unlabelled: This study investigated the prevalence and co-occurrence of antimicrobial (AMR) and metal resistance (MR) in aquatic environments with different human impacts. Metagenomes from pristine, rural and urban sites in Australia were analyzed with AMR ++ and customized binning pipelines. AMR was present in all environments, while MR was mainly in rural and urban samples.
