Novel series of disulfide and sulfone hybrid analogs (1-20) were synthesized and characterized through EI-MS and (1)H NMR and evaluated for β-glucuronidase inhibitory potential. All synthesized analogs except 13 and 15 showed excellent β-glucuronidase inhibitory potential with IC50 value ranging in between 2.20-88.16μM as compared to standard d-saccharic acid 1,4 lactone (48.4±1.25μM). Analogs 19, 16, 4, 1, 17, 6, 10, 3, 18, 2, 11, 14 and 5 showed many fold potent activity against β-glucuronidase inhibitor. Structure activity relationship showed that substitution of electron withdrawing groups at ortho as well as para position on phenyl ring increase potency. Electron withdrawing groups at meta position on phenyl ring showed slightly low potency as compared to ortho and para position. The binding interactions were confirmed through molecular docking studies.

Ultrathin electrolytic copper foils with a thickness of 6 μm were prepared by a test machine using copper sulfate electrolyte with gelatin, hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), and sulfonic acid-containing organics as additives. The effects of four sulfonic acid-containing organic additives, sodium 3-mercaptopropanesulfonate (MPS), bis-(sodium sulfopropyl)-disulfide (SPS), sodium 3-[[(dimethylamino)thioxomethyl]thio]propanesulfonate (DPS), and sodium 3-((4,5-dihydrothiazol-2-yl)thio)propane-1-sulfonate (TPS), on the physical property of copper foils were investigated. The results show that all these additives can effectively improve the gloss and tensile strength of electrolytic copper foil, and the texture coefficients of Cu(111) selectivity increase.

Background/objectives: Acupuncture is an efficacious integrative therapy for treating pain, fatigue, and sleep disturbance (the psychoneurological symptom cluster) in breast cancer survivors. However, the mechanisms underlying its effects remain unclear, and related metabolomics studies are limited. This study aimed to examine serum metabolite changes after acupuncture and their relationships to symptom improvement.

Article Synopsis
  • A dinuclear molybdenum complex combined with urea hydrogen peroxide has been developed as an effective catalyst for converting thiols into uronium sulfonate salts with high yields (89-98%) in ethanol at room temperature.
  • The reaction produced hydrogen gas, a pioneering finding in similar oxidation processes, and detailed product characterization was conducted using techniques like FTIR, NMR, and single crystal X-ray diffraction.
  • Mechanistic studies revealed intermediate products including disulfides and sulfinic acids, while two specific reactions illustrated the conversion of uronium p-chlorobenzene sulfonate to sulfonic acid and diphenyl diselenide to selenonate salt.

How Can RuBisCO Be Released from the Mesophyll Cells of Green Tea Residue?

J Agric Food Chem

December 2024

Ecofood Institute, College of Biological Science and Engineering, Fuzhou University, Fuzhou 350108, China.

Article Synopsis
  • This study focuses on the release of RuBisCO from green tea residue mesophyll cells (TRMCs), which has not been successfully achieved before.
  • Researchers used a combination of chemical and enzymatic treatments, such as urea and β-mercaptoethanol, to facilitate the release, leading to a significant release of proteins (over 40%).
  • The findings indicated that the presence of lignocellulose in the cell walls and the low solubility of RuBisCO were major factors preventing its effective release from the TRMCs.

Post-labelling cleavable substrates for self-labelling protein tags, such as SNAP- and Halo-tags, can be used to study cell surface receptor trafficking events by stripping dyes from non-internalized protein pools. Since the complexity of receptor biology requires the use of multiple and orthogonal approaches to simultaneously probe multiple receptor pools, we report the development of four membrane impermeable probes that covalently bind to either the SNAP- or the Halo-tag in the red to far-red range. These molecules bear a disulfide bond to release the non-internalized probe using the reducing agent sodium 2-mercaptoethane sulfonate (MESNA).
