Published: June 2013

Four new cyclohexanone derivatives (2-5) and one known analog, (-)-Palitantin (1) were isolated from the EtOAc extract of Penicillium commune, a fungal strain of low-temperature habitats. The structures of 2-5 were determined on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis. Furthermore, the absolute configuration of 2 was assigned by electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations, whereas that 3-5 were deduced via the CD data. Cytotoxicities of 2-5 against five human carcinoma cell lines (Hela, A549, MCF7, HCT116, T24) were evaluated.

Newly synthesized 1-bromo-2-(4-bromophenylsulfonate)-4,4-dimethyl-1-cyclohexenyl-6-one (CHD) as a potential anticorrosive agent in an acidic medium at an elevated temperature range of 305-335 K. This synthesized compound confirmed by spectral characterizations and it acts as a coating on mild steel surfaces in 1 M Hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution through electrochemical reactions. The synthesis of the compound has been discussed, and the Infrared (IR) and Nucleic Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectral analysis confirmed the derivative.

Bis-1,2,4-triazine ligands are amongst the most promising soft N-donor ligands for the partitioning of trivalent actinides from trivalent lanthanides; a key separation proposed in the future reprocessing of spent nuclear fuels. In an effort to improve the extraction properties of these benchmark ligands, we propose herein a general ligand design approach that is inspired by the field of drug discovery, and we apply it to a new class of ligands in which the bidentate 3-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazine unit of the benchmark ligands is replaced by a bidentate 1,2,4-triazine-3-carboxamide unit. A series of nine novel ligands were synthesized by reactions of readily available ethyl 1,2,4-triazine-3-carboxylate building blocks with different polyamine cores and evaluated for their ability to extract and separate Am(III) and Cm(III) from Eu(III).

Ketamine analogues are rapidly emerging around the world and are considered one of the new psychoactive substances (NPS) of greatest concern. However, little is known about their actual use at the community level and their evolution on the drug market. Wastewater-based epidemiology is a useful tool to explore the profile of NPS use.

Mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) are a unique class of UV-screening bioactive molecules with potent antioxidants and photoprotective properties, synthesized by various species of cyanobacteria in different habitats. The cyanobacterial biofilms play a crucial driver in the development of ecological communities. The current study examined the existence of the photoprotective MAAs in a novel epilithic cyanobacterium Lyngbya sp.

One of the pharmacological approaches to neoplastic disease aims to target the metastatic capacity of tumor cells to reduce their aggressive behavior. In this study, we analyzed the antimigratory capacity of the compound SEMBL, (S)-β-salicyloylamino-a-exo-methylene-ƴ-butyrolactone, a new analog of (-)-Dehydroxymethylepoxyquinomicin ((-)-DHMEQ), in three different breast cancer cell lines: MCF-7, MCF-7R and MDA-MB-231. This molecule is characterized by intense antiproliferative activity, evaluated by MTS assay, showing greater potency than DHMEQ.
