Carbazole substituted imines (2a-l) were prepared from N-methyl-3-amino carbazole with different aldehydes. The imines compounds undergo (2+2) cycloaddition reactions with in situ ketenes to produce β-lactam compounds (3a-l). The β-lactam compounds were tested as inhibitors of the xanthine oxidase (XO) purified from bovine milk. The results show that these compounds exhibit inhibitory effects on XO at low concentrations with IC(50) values ranging from 21.65 to 58.04 µM. The most effective compound for XO was 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(9-ethyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)-3-phenylazetidin-2-one with IC(50) of 21.65 μM. The lactams investigated here showed effective XO inhibitory effects, in the same range as the clinically used allopurinol.

This study explores the use of conductive material in scaling up anaerobic digestion for enhanced biogas production. Focusing on Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer (DIET), the research employs a syntrophic DIET-able consortium formed by Shewanella oneidensis and Methanosarcina barkerii in 3.8-L experiments utilizing reticulated vitreous carbon (RVC) as conductive material.

Background: The emergence of antibiotic resistant microorganisms associated with conventional swine production practices has increased interest in acid-based compounds having antimicrobial properties and other biological functions as nutritional interventions. Despite the interest in organic acids and monoglycerides, few studies have examined the effects of the combination of these acid-based additives in weaned pigs under disease challenge conditions. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation with blend of organic acids and/or medium-chain fatty acid monoglycerides on intestinal health and systemic immunity of weaned pigs experimentally infected with an enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) F18 at 4-week of age.

Background: The Plasmodium proteasome emerges as a promising target for anti-malarial drug development due to its potential activity against multiple life cycle stages.
Methods: In this investigation, a comparative analysis was conducted on the structural features of the β5 subunit in the 20S proteasomes of both Plasmodium and humans.
Results: The findings underscore the structural diversity inherent in both proteasomes.
Adsorption adaptive response exposed to algal organic matter: correlation to the characteristics of granular activated carbon.

The release of algal organic matter (AOM) during seasonal algal blooms increases the complexity and heterogeneity of natural organic matter (NOM) in water sources, altering its hydrophilic-hydrophobic balance and posing significant challenges to conventional water treatment processes. This study aims to verify whether the (Granular activated carbon) GAC selected for the adsorption of NOM in sand filtration effluent can adapt to water quality fluctuations caused by AOM release, and identify the criteria influencing GAC adsorption performance. Results indicated that external surface area, mesopore volume, pore size and surface functional groups were key indicators of GAC adsorption performance.

Thousand cankers disease (TCD) is a pathosystem comprised of Juglandacea spp., a pathogenic fungus Geosmithia morbida, and an insect vector, the walnut twig beetle (WTB) (Pityophthorus juglandis). Of the North American Juglans species, Juglans nigra is the most susceptible to TCD and has resulted in significant decline and mortality of urban and plantation trees in the western United States.
