A series of Pd(en)X2 salts were used as catalysts for the conversion of aldoximes into nitriles and amides. Highlights of this protocol include the use of inexpensive polar solvents, including water, and moderate reaction temperatures. A high degree of selectivity in the reaction outcome was observed when using aliphatic vs. aromatic/conjugated aldoximes.

Optimization of sulforaphane bioavailability from a glucoraphanin-rich broccoli seed extract in a model of dynamic gastric digestion and absorption by Caco-2 cell monolayers.

Broccoli is recognized for its health benefits, attributed to the high concentrations of glucoraphanin (GR). GR must be hydrolyzed by myrosinase (Myr) to form the bioactive sulforaphane (SF). The primary challenge in delivering SF in the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract- is improving hydrolysis of GR to SF.

Article Synopsis
- * Two cases highlighted in the report demonstrate that switching to BRAF and MEK inhibitors after initial treatment led to tumor shrinkage and one patient becoming a candidate for surgery, with manageable side effects.
- * The study advocates for BRAF gene testing at diagnosis since it can help identify patients who might benefit from these targeted therapies, making outpatient treatment feasible and potentially improving outcomes for those with unresectable ATC.
Sequence diversity in the monooxygenases involved in oxime production in plant defense and signaling: a conservative revision in the nomenclature of the highly complex CYP79 family.

Plant Biochemistry Laboratory, PLEN, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases of the CYP79 family catalyze conversion of specific amino acids into oximes feeding into a variety of metabolic plant pathways. Here we present an extensive phylogenetic tree of the CYP79 family built on carefully curated sequences collected across the entire plant kingdom. Based on a monophyletic origin of the P450s, a set of evolutionarily distinct branches was identified.

ConspectusNickel pincer systems have recently attracted much attention for applications in various organometallic reactions and catalysis involving small molecule activation. Their exploration is in part motivated by the presence of nickel in natural systems for efficient catalysis. Among such systems, the nickel-containing metalloenzyme carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (CODH) efficiently and reversibly converts CO to CO at its active site.

Article Synopsis
- Phosgene, diphosgene, and chlorine are highly toxic choking agents that can cause serious respiratory issues, including death, leading to the development of small-molecule fluorescent probes for safe detection.
- Two designed probes, TCAO and HMBT, were evaluated, with TCAO showing greater selectivity and sensitivity for phosgene detection due to its electron-donating group.
- TCAO was further studied, revealing a significant increase in its quantum yield upon phosgene exposure and achieving a detection limit of 51 nm, with a user-friendly paper-strip method for onsite monitoring.
