The objective of this work was studying the effects of combined chlorine on the physicochemical properties and the structure of shellac. Bleached shellacs with different chlorine content were prepared by means of elimination reaction which sodium ethoxide was used as nucleophilic reagent. Then polymerization time and iodine value characterizing the quality of shellac were tested for investigating the relationship between the physicochemical properties and chlorine. The mechanism of dechlorination of shellac was analyzed, and the structures of products were characterized with the aid of ultraviolet spectrophotometer. It was demonstrated that the polymerization time become long and the value of double bond become large with the decrease of chlorine combined in shellac molecule, and that the properties of shellac with low chlorine content had been improved. The structure of shellac obtained by means of dechlorination was different from that of product without dechlorination.

Highly reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) play crucial roles in various pathological conditions. Among them, hypochlorous ion (OCl⁻), a potent ROS, is associated in numerous oxidative stress-related disorders. Elevated levels of OCl⁻ are thus recognized as a biomarker for diagnosing inflammatory conditions.

Mineralizing cells release a special class of extracellular vesicles known as matrix vesicles (MV), crucial for bone mineralization. Following their release, MV anchor to the extracellular matrix (ECM), where their highly specialized enzymatic machinery facilitates the formation of seed mineral within the MV's lumen, subsequently releasing it onto the ECM. However, how MV propagate mineral onto the collagenous ECM remains unclear.

Podophyllotoxin, along with its numerous derivatives and related compounds, is well known for its broad-spectrum pharmacological activity, especially for anticancer potential. In this study, several isatin-podophyllotoxin hybrid compounds were successfully synthesized with good yields through microwave-prompted three-component reactions of 2-amino-1,4-naphthoquinone, various substituted isatins, and tetronic acid. Their cytotoxicity was assessed against four types of human cancer cell lines, HepG2 (hepatoma carcinoma), MCF7 (breast cancer), A549 (non-small lung cancer), and KB (epidermoid carcinoma), alongside nontumorigenic HEK-293 human embryonic kidney cells.
