A series of 49 oxygenated tricyclic carbazole derivatives has been tested for inhibition of the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and a mammalian cell line (vero cells). From this series, twelve carbazoles showed a significant anti-TB activity. The four most active compounds were the naturally occurring carbazole alkaloids clauszoline-M (45), murrayaline-C (41), carbalexin-C (27), and the synthetic carbazole derivative 22 with MIC values ranging from 1.5 to 3.7μM. The active compounds were virtually nontoxic for the mammalian cell line in the concentration range up to 50μM.

An unprecedented Bi(OTf)-catalyzed reaction between 2-arylisatogens and vinylarenes to yield 2,4-diarylquinolines is reported. The transformation occurred via a Bi-coordination to the embedded anionic nitrone oxygen, which induced a regiospecific stepwise formal [4 + 2]-cycloaddition with vinylarenes to yield a strained tricyclic intermediate, which subsequently extruded gaseous carbon monoxide. -Deoxygenative aromatization ensued to produce 2,4-diarylquinolines.

Article Synopsis
- Penicamins A-L are 12 new diterpenes discovered in the fungus JSB-7212, featuring a unique tricyclic structure similar to valparane-type compounds.
- These compounds differ in their chemical configurations and oxidation levels, which were identified through advanced spectroscopic techniques and X-ray diffraction.
- Two of the Penicamins exhibited immunosuppressive effects on B cells and T cell proliferation, indicating potential therapeutic applications.
The Early Cretaceous Sembar Formation, Southern Indus Basin, Pakistan: Biomarkers and Trace Element Distributions to Investigate the Sedimentary Palaeoenvironment and Organic Matter Input.

The Early Cretaceous clay-rich facies of the Sembar Formation represent the most significantly occurring organic-rich sediments in the Southern Indus Basin of Pakistan. In this study, detailed geochemical research of total organic carbon, biomarker, mineralogy and trace elemental compositions, together with kerogen microscopic analysis, were carried out and used to understand the organic matter input and the dispositional environmental setting of the organic-rich Sembar shale. The Sembar shales have high organic matter, as indicated by the total organic carbon (TOC) content of up to 2.

Diisononyl phthalate (DiNP) has been associated with the development of allergies, asthma, and allergic airway inflammation. Through a complex interplay of signals and feedback mechanisms, the lungs communicate with the heart to ensure maintenance of homeostasis and supporting the body's metabolic demands. In the current study, we assessed the crosstalk between DiNP-induced asthma and cardiac cellular respiration, oxidative stress, apoptotic potential, and induction of oncogenic factors.
