A series of compounds which contain pyrazole, thiazole and naphthalene ring (1a-7a, 1b-7b, 1c-7c, 1d-7d) were firstly synthesized and their anti-proliferative activity, EGFR inhibitory activity, cytotoxicity and inhibition to Hela cell migration were evaluated. Compound 2-(3-(3,4-dimethylphenyl)-5-(naphthalen-2-yl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)thiazol-4(5H)-one (7d) displayed the most potent inhibitory activity (IC50=0.86μM for Hela and IC50=0.12μM for EGFR). Structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis showed that the anti-proliferative activity was affected by A-ring-substituent (-OCH3>-CH3>-H>-Br>-Cl>-F). Docking simulation of compound 7d into EGFR active site showed that naphthalene ring of 7d with LYS721 formed two p-π bonds, which enhanced antitumor activity. Therefore, compound 7d may be developed as a potential antitumor agent.

Aromatic diimides such as naphthalene diimide (NDI) and pyromellitic diimide (MDI) are important building blocks for organic electrode materials. They feature a two-electron redox mechanism that allows for energy storage. Due to the smaller size of MDI compared to NDI its theoretical capacity is higher.

DNA gyrase is a bacterial type IIA topoisomerase that can create temporary double-stranded DNA breaks to regulate DNA topology and an archetypical target of antibiotics. The widely used quinolone class of drugs use a water-metal ion bridge in interacting with the GyrA subunit of DNA gyrase. Zoliflodacin sits in the same pocket as quinolones but interacts with the GyrB subunit and also stabilizes lethal double-stranded DNA breaks.

Designing the architecture of donor-acceptor (D-A) pairs is an effective strategy to tailor the electronic structure of conjugated macrocycles for optoelectronic devices. Herein, we present the synthesis of three D-A nanohoops ( = 7, 8, 9) containing a naphthalene diimide (NDI) unit as an acceptor and []cycloparaphenylenes ([]CPPs) moieties as donors. The D-A characteristics of were substantiated through absorption and fluorescence spectroscopic studies, electrochemical investigations, and computational analysis.

Gossypol removal is crucial for the resourceful utilization of cottonseed meals in the food and feed industries. Herein, we investigated the comprehensive detoxification mechanism of a gossypol-tolerant strain of (WK331) newly isolated from the rumen. Biodegradation assays showed that WK331 removes over 80% of free gossypol, of which 50% was biodegraded and 30% was converted into bound gossypol.

The introduction of 4,5-dihydroazuleno[2,1,8-ija]azulene as a central core between two 1,4-dithiafulvene (DTF) units provides a novel class of extended tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) electron donors. Herein we present the synthesis of such compounds with the azulenoazulene further expanded by annulation to benzene, naphthalene, or thiophene rings. Moreover, unsymmetrical donor-acceptor chromophores with one DTF and one carbonyl at the central core are presented.
