The design, synthesis, and evaluation of axial-chiral biisoquinolines bearing polar aromatic C-H bonds as Lewis base catalysts are reported. Lewis bases containing the 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl group were found to be significantly more enantioselective for a wider range of substrates than those bearing aromatic residues that are not strongly electron-deficient in the allylation of aldehydes with allyltrichlorosilane. Also, optically pure 3,3'-dibromo-1,1'-biisoquinoline N, N'-dioxide that has not been previously reported was synthesized as a common catalyst precursor to facilitate the study.

Pyroptosis and macrophage pro-inflammatory activation play an important role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression. However, the specific regulatory mechanisms remain unclear. We identified pyroptosis-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs) based on the GSE4183 and GSE44861 datasets as well as EVenn database.

Background: Owing to their extensive utilization as pesticides, heterocycles assume a fundamental role in the management of vector-borne diseases. Despite the presence of numerous heterocyclic compounds in commercial insecticides and larvicides, resistance to pesticides still demands novel strategies to current pest control methods. Considering these facts, this review aims to survey the synthesis and SAR of heterocyclic molecules with larvicidal activity against Aedes aegypti Linn.

Rapid and sensitive detection of Epstein-Barr virus cell-free DNA (EBV cfDNA) is crucial for early diagnosis and monitoring of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), but accessibility to screening is limited by complicated and costly conventional DNA isolation and purification approaches. Here, a fully integrated ion concentration polarization (ICP)-enriched and nanozyme-catalyzed lateral flow assay (ICP-cLFA) is developed, enabling total analysis of EBV cfDNA in whole blood samples, with DNA isolation, pre-concentration, and amplification performed on a microfluidic chip, consequently providing the signal readout within 75 min. Specifically, ICP preconcentration and amplification steps, together with target recognition catalyzed by a platinum-decorated mesoporous gold nanosphere (MGNS@Pt) nanozyme, result in an ultralow detection limit of 4 aM in standard cfDNA samples and 100 aM in whole blood from NPC-bearing rats.

Nanographenes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons exhibit many intriguing physical properties and have potential applications across a range of scientific fields, including electronics, catalysis, and biomedicine. To accelerate the development of such applications, efficient and reliable methods for accessing functionalized analogs are required. Herein, we report the efficient synthesis of functionalized small nanographenes from readily available iodobiaryl and diarylacetylene derivatives a one-pot, multi-annulation sequence catalyzed by a single palladium catalyst.

The current piston material, Al-12Si, lacks sufficient passivation in the acidic lubrication system of biodiesel engines, making it prone to corrosion in the presence of Cl. Fe amorphous particles exhibit good compatibility with Al-12Si, possessing strong corrosion resistance, excellent passivation ability, and good high-temperature stability. They are a potential reinforcement for enhancing the Al-12Si piston material.
