The methods of synthesis as well as physical, spectroscopic (¹H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and FT-IR, ESI-MS), and biological properties of quaternary and dimeric quaternary alkylammonium conjugates of steroids are presented. The results were contrasted with theoretical calculations (PM5 methods) and potential pharmacological properties (PASS). Alkylammonium sterols exhibit a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity comparable to squalamine.

Background: In many countries, neuro-muscular blocking agents (NMBAs) are the first cause of perioperative anaphylaxis. Epidemiological studies identified pholcodine, a quaternary ammonium-containing opiate as one of the sensitization sources. However, NMBA anaphylaxis exists in countries where pholcodine was unavailable, prompting the hypothesis of other sensitizing molecules, most likely quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs).

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on how different surface chemistries of copper selenide (CuSe) nanoparticles affect the way metals are deposited on them, especially in the context of integrating these particles into nanoheterostructures.
- Researchers tested 12 different ligands to see how they influence metal deposition, finding that most did not significantly change the pattern or amount of deposition.
- However, quaternary alkylammonium bromides showed distinct deposition patterns, suggesting a special cooperative binding effect at play, which could inform future strategies for modifying CuSe nanoparticles.

Amidation of lactobionic acid with N,N-dimethylaminopropyltriamine was conducted to obtain N-(3'-dimethylaminopropyl)-lactamido-3-aminopropane (DDLPD), which was quaternized with bromoalkanes of different carbon chain lengths to synthesize double-stranded lactosylamide quaternary ammonium salt N-[N'[3-(lactosylamide)]propyl-N'-alkyl] propyl-N,N-dimethyl-N-alkylammonium bromide (CDDLPB, n = 8, 10, 12, 14, 16). The surface activity and the adsorption and aggregation behaviors of the surfactants were investigated via equilibrium surface tension, dynamic light scattering, and cryo-electron microscopy measurements in an aqueous solution. The application properties of the products in terms of wettability, emulsification, foam properties, antistatic, salt resistance, and bacteriostatic properties were tested.

As an important source of green cleaning flame retardants, bio-based materials have been widely studied by researchers. However, the development of efficient biobased flame retardants and convenient finishing methods was of great significance for the functional finishing of materials. Herein, a convenient and efficient flame retardant cotton fabric was prepared via layer by layer self-assembly (LbL) by alternating precipitation of a novel bio-based flame retardant phosphorylated sodium alginate (PSA) and alkylammonium functionalized siloxane (A-POSS).

- The study explores a metal-free method for activating oxygen on benzylamine/alcohols using quaternary alkylammonium-based ionic liquids, which produce various organic compounds without transition metals.
- NMR and control experiments confirm the reaction mechanism, where molecular oxygen is converted into a hydroperoxyl radical, with the formation of hydrogen peroxide supporting this process.
- Advanced computational methods, such as DFT and DLPNO-CCSD(T), confirm that the ionic liquids enhance oxygen activation, suggesting a cost-effective and efficient alternative to traditional metal catalysts in organic synthesis.
