Acyl chlorides are important acylating agents in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Determining the residual acyl chlorides in drug substances is a challenge due to their high reactivity and the matrix interferences from drug substances and their related impurities. This paper describes a general derivatization HPLC method for the determination of aromatic and aliphatic acyl chlorides in lipophilic drug substances. Since most drug substances have weak absorptions in the visible range (above 380nm), the nitro-substituted anilines and nitro-substituted phenylhydrazines were selected as the derivatization reagents due to their weak basicity and red-shift of UV absorption spectra. The maximum wavelength and absorption intensity of nitro-substituted anilines decreased after derivatization with acyl chlorides, whereas the derivatization products of nitro-substituted phenylhydrazines showed the slight increases of maximum wavelength and absorbance intensity. Hence, 2-nitrophenylhydrazine was selected as the suitable derivatization reagent because the derivatives have the maximum UV wavelength absorbance at 395nm, which could largely minimize the matrix interferences. The optimization of the concentration of 2-nitrophenylhydrazine is important for the sensitivity and stability of derivatives. Other reaction conditions including reaction temperature, time and the influence of three competitive solvents (water, methanol and ethanol) on the reaction efficiency were also studied. After derivatization with 100μgmL 2-nitrophenylhydrazine at room temperature for 30min, the method was validated for high specificity and sensitivity with the detection limits in the range of 0.01-0.03μgmL. The proposed method was applied as a generic method to determine the residual acyl chlorides in lipophilic drug substances.

Micellar catalysis is becoming an increasingly versatile tool to carry out a wide range of organic transformations using water as the reaction medium. The approach was recently found to be effective also in the case of water sensitive organics such as acyl chlorides. This finding is of great relevance for the manufacturing of challenging substrates such as the known iodinated contrast agent iopamidol, requiring the use of aprotic dipolar solvents (DMF, NMP, DMAc) in the key amidation step of an acyl dichloride intermediate with serinol.

Objectives: Ferroptosis is involved in the development and exacerbation of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI), and its inhibition can alleviate CIRI. Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) is used for the treatment of ischemic stroke. However, the mechanism by which TMP regulates ferroptosis in CIRI is yet to be explored.

Article Synopsis
- Chicken breast products are often criticized for their rough texture and poor taste due to their fibrous tissue structure, making taste adaptation necessary for better consumer satisfaction.
- The study explored how using CaCl and acyl-modified ovalbumin (AOVA) can enhance the gelation properties of chicken breast myofibrillar protein (MP) by improving its molecular interactions and microstructure.
- Findings revealed that AOVA, combined with 0.30 mol/L CaCl, improved the quality of the gel by increasing disulphide bonds and hydrophobic interactions, resulting in a denser and more cohesive gel that exhibits better hardness, springiness, and chewing properties.

Article Synopsis
- N-Acylethanolamines (NAEs) are lipid mediators important for reducing inflammation and suppressing appetite, with palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) and arachidonoylethanolamide (AEA) interacting with specific receptors.
- The enzyme PLAAT5 is highlighted as crucial for producing NAEs in testes, as research using PLAAT5-deficient mice revealed a significant drop in NAE levels and their associated anti-inflammatory effects.
- Inflammation in testicular tissue was exacerbated in PLAAT5-deficient mice but could be mitigated by PEA and AEA, indicating that these compounds could provide protective roles through their receptor pathways.
