An efficient and regioselective palladium(II)-catalyzed primary acetamide assisted ortho arylation of arylacetamide has been discovered. This is the first report where functionalizable primary acetamide (-CHCONH) is used as a directing group for C(sp)-H activation/cross-coupling reactions, circumventing the extra steps of installation and subsequent removal of the directing groups. The synthetic utility of this transformation is demonstrated through the scale-up synthesis. In addition, the primary acetamide can be manipulated into synthetically important derivatives such as nitriles and carboxylic acids.

Water is pursued as an electrolyte solvent for its non-flammable nature compared to traditional organic solvents, yet its narrow electrochemical stability window (ESW) limits its performance. Solvation chemistry design is widely adopted as the key to suppress the reactivity of water, thereby expanding the ESW. In this study, an acetamide-based ternary eutectic electrolyte achieved an ESW ranging from 1.

Accumulating evidence indicates that inherited astrocyte dysfunction can be a primary trigger for epilepsy development; however, the available data are rather limited. In addition, astrocytes are considered as a perspective target for the design of novel and improvement of the existing antiepileptic therapy. Piracetam and related nootropic drugs are widely used in the therapy of various epileptic disorders, but detailed mechanisms of racetams action and, in particular, their effects on glial functions are poorly understood.

Flurochloridone (FLC) is a pyrrolidone herbicide used to control broad-leaved weeds in various crop fields. However, there is still a lack of comprehensive research on the environmental fate of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) and the toxicity of its potential transformation products (TPs). In this study, laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate the degradation kinetics, pathways, and toxicity of FLC's TPs.

This investigation explored the hepatoprotective capabilities of Bruceine A (BA) and its underlying mechanisms in mitigating hepatic fibrosis. Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and mouse primary hepatocytes were treated with TGF-β and subsequently exposed to BA. To assess the effects of BA on the NR2F2-HMGB1 signaling cascade, these cells underwent transfection with a siRNA vector targeting NR2F2.

Article Synopsis
- GPR88 is an orphan G protein-coupled receptor primarily found in the striatum, and its function is not well understood despite changes in its expression seen in Parkinson's disease models.
- GPR88 was found to interact with the kappa-opioid receptor (KOR), and this interaction inhibits KOR-mediated signaling, as evidenced by experiments showing that GPR88 can modulate effects of KOR agonists in both cultured cells and primary striatal neurons.
- The GPR88-KOR complexes were more common in specific neurons related to dopamine pathways, suggesting that understanding their relationship could have implications for conditions like neuropathic pain, Parkinson's disease, and neuropsychiatric disorders.
