Small-molecule ligands for the CXCR3 chemokine receptor receive considerable attention as a means to interrogate the roles of CXCR3 in vitro and in vivo and/or to potentially treat various conditions such as inflammatory diseases and cancer. We have synthesized and explored a novel class of small-molecule antagonists for CXCR3. A medium-throughput screen revealed an adamantane-guanidine as a hit. The guanidine unit was replaced by a small quaternary ammonium group, leading to ca. 5-fold increase in affinity. Substitution of the adamantane group by a myrtenyl moiety further increased affinity, while the benzyl group was decorated with an additional (substituted) aryl ring. This led to the identification of several bisaryl-based ligands with CXCR3 affinities of around 100 nM and with the ability to antagonize the functional activity of CXCL10.

An unconventional separation method of α-Terpineol from its isomer 1,8-Cineole via in situ-association formation of deep eutectic solvent and machine learning.

α-Terpineol and 1,8-cineole are two important compounds in essential oils. This study developed an efficient method to recover α-terpineol from model oil (MO) based on association extraction by in situ formations of deep eutectic solvent (DES) between α-terpineol and some quaternary ammonium salts (QASs) by hydrogen-bond (HB) interaction. Such interaction could be broken almost completely by the introduction of water, due to the stronger HB interaction between water and QASs, which could release α-terpineol by liquid-liquid separation and save the organic solvents consumption.

Institute of Medical Microbiology and Hygiene, Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety, 1090 Vienna, Austria.
Ready-to-eat (RTE) foods are the most common sources of transmission. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) enhances the investigation of foodborne outbreaks by enabling the tracking of pathogen sources and the prediction of genetic traits related to virulence, stress, and antimicrobial resistance, which benefit food safety management. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of WGS in the typing of 16 strains isolated from refrigerated foods in Chile, highlighting its advantages in pathogen identification and the improvement of epidemiological surveillance and food safety.

Background: To investigate the toxicity of N-n-butyl haloperidol iodide (F2), a quaternary ammonium salt derivative of haloperidol, in mice for potential therapeutic purposes.
Methods: The acute median lethal dose (LD) of F2 was determined using the Bliss method following intravenous administration in mice. Routine surface electrocardiograms (ECGs) and arterial blood pressures (aBPs) were recorded under general anesthesia in untreated and pharmacologically vagotomized mice injected with F2.
Influence of Added Cellulose Nanocrystals on the Rheology of Polymers.

Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON N2L 3G1, Canada.
The interactions between cellulose nanocrystals and six different polymers (three anionic, two non-ionic, and one cationic) were investigated using rheological measurements of aqueous solutions of nanocrystals and polymers. The experimental viscosity data could be described adequately by a power-law model. The variations in power-law parameters (consistency index and flow behavior index) with concentrations of nanocrystals and polymers were determined for different combinations of nanocrystals and polymers.
