A 13,13'-bibenzo[b]perylenyl derivative-an axially chiral π-extended compound in which two perylene subunits fused to 1,1'-binaphthyl scaffold-has been synthesized from 1,8-dibromophenanthrene using an anionic cyclodehydrogenation reaction in the presence of potassium metal as the key step. The pair of enantiomers can be separated by chiral high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), which showed a strong circular dichroism (CD) (Δε = 330 M(-1) cm(-1) at 449 nm, |gCD| = 5.8 × 10(-3) at 453 nm), high fluorescence quantum yield (Φf = 64%), and strong circular polarized luminescence (CPL) (|gCPL| = 5 × 10(-3) at 454 nm) in solution phase.

The genus Wittmackia has 44 species distributed in two centers of diversity: the Brazilian clade and the Caribbean clade. The Brazilian clade includes 29 species, with geographic distribution concentrated in the Northeast of Brazil. This study reports the morphology, ultrastructure, pollen viability and stigma receptivity by different microscopy techniques of 23 species of the genus Wittmackia endemic to Brazil and occurring in Atlantic Forest areas.

In an era of escalating environmental challenges, converting organic residues into high-value bioactive compounds provides a sustainable way to reduce waste and enhance resource efficiency. This study explores the potential of the circular bioeconomy through the valorization of agricultural byproducts, with a focus on the antioxidant properties of specific chestnut burr cultivars. Currently, over one-third of food production is wasted, contributing to both humanitarian and environmental crises.

Acylation is a common method used to modify antimicrobial peptides to enhance their effectiveness. It increases the interactions between the peptide and the bacterial cell membranes. However, acylation can also reduce the selectivity of the peptides by making them more active on eukaryotic membranes, which can lead to unintended toxicity.
