The heat capacity and parameters of the solid-to-solid phase transition of adamantane were measured in the temperature range from 80 to 370 K by use of adiabatic calorimetry. The thermodynamic functions for the compound in the crystalline and liquid states were calculated. The standard molar enthalpy of formation in the crystalline state for adamantane was obtained from combustion calorimetry by use of two different calorimeters. Available data on the enthalpy of combustion, saturated vapor pressure, and enthalpy of sublimation of adamantane were collected, analyzed, and selected. On the basis of spectroscopic data and results of quantum-chemical calculations, the ideal-gas properties for adamantane were calculated by a statistical thermodynamics method.

Isostructural Dy(III) and Er(III) complexes [L12Ln(H2O)5][I]3·L12·(CH2Cl2) (Ln = Dy (1), Er (3)) and [L22Ln(H2O)5][I]3·L22·(CH2Cl2)2 (Ln = Dy (2), Er (4)), with distorted pentagonal bipyramidal geometry (D5h) around the central metal were synthesized by utilizing two bulky phosphonamide ligands, adamantyl phosphonamide, (Ad)P(O)(NHiPr)2 (L1) and carbazolyl phosphoramide (Cz)P(O)(NHiPr)2 (L2). The resultant complexes were investigated for their magnetic properties in order to elucidate the impact of modification of the coordinating P-O bond environment either by increasing steric bulk and/or introduction of a third P-N bond at the central phosphorus atom. Magnetic studies revealed substantial energy barriers (Ueff) of 640 K and 560 K for Dy compounds 1 and 2, respectively, rendering them as some of the best-performing air-stable SIMs amongst the class of SIMs with D5h symmetry.

The second harmonic generation (SHG) properties of adamantane-based tetraphenyl clusters are predicted from first principles and analyzed on the basis of the involved electronic transitions. In particular, the effect of a tetrel substitution in the cluster core on the nonlinear optical response is investigated. Electronic transitions spatially localized at the substituents are found to be responsible for the optical nonlinearities.

Chicoric acid (CA) as one of Chinese medicines had anti-inflammatory, less gastrointestinal irritation, less drug-resistance and low cost properties compared with chemical synthesized drug and biologics for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment. To make CA preciously and effectly RA therapy, we firstly developed a supramolecular hydrogel (GHCAP) comprising β-cyclodextrin and graphene oxide (GO) modified hyaluronic acid (CD-HA-GO) as the "host" polymer and adamantane-modified four-arm polyethylene glycol (PEG-AD) as the "guest" polymer, and then the CA was loaded into the supramolecular hydrogel (DGHCAP). The results showed that DGHCAP exhibited injectable, high modulus, high CA loading rate (43.

Background: Chronic inflammation is a key factor in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) development. The cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway (CAP) reduces inflammation by activating α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (α7nAChRs) on macrophages, suppressing proinflammatory cytokines. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEis), primarily used for Alzheimer's disease (AD), may exert anti-inflammatory effects through the CAP.

Article Synopsis
- Neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation play significant roles in Japanese Encephalitis virus (JEV) infection, with the NMDA receptor contributing to these processes through excitatory neurotoxicity and inflammation.
- Research showed that JEV infection in rat microglia leads to glutamate release, activating harmful signaling pathways that result in pro-inflammatory responses and neurodegeneration.
- NMDA receptor antagonists, such as MK801 and memantine, were found to reduce the harmful effects of JEV infection on microglia and neurons, indicating their potential as therapeutic options to mitigate neuroinflammation and cell death.
