A pyranose ring contraction of ethyl 1-thio-β-d-galactopyranosides has been discovered that proceeds with retention of aglycon under mildly acidic conditions (aq TFA in CHCl). Key factors for success of this rearrangement are the presence of bulky silyl (TIPS or TBDPS) substituents at both O-2 and O-3 and a free hydroxy group at C-4 (derivatives with acid-labile protective groups at O-4 will also engage in this reaction). The rearrangement cleanly proceeds for 2,3-di- O-TIPS derivatives with two hydroxy groups at C-4 and C-6, acid-labile TES groups at O-4 and O-6, or one acyl substituent (Bz, ClAc) at O-6. A possibility to switch the direction of the debenzylidenation reaction in 4,6- O-benzylidene-2,3-di- O-TIPS/TBDPS derivatives by the choice of an acid (TFA, which cleanly gives furanose, versus AcOH, which cleaves benzylidene acetal only) may present an advantage in the divergent synthesis of selectively protected glycosyl donors (either in furanose or pyranose form) useful for the synthesis of biologically important oligosaccharides.

Free pectinase is commonly employed as a biocatalyst in wine clarification; however, its removal, recovery, and reuse are not feasible. To address these limitations, this study focuses on the immobilization of a commercial pectinolytic preparation (Pec) onto highly porous polymer microparticles (MPs). Seven microparticulate polyamide (PA) supports, namely PA4, PA6, PA12 (with and without magnetic properties), and the copolymeric PA612 MP, were synthesized through activated anionic ring-opening polymerization of various lactams.

In this paper, we demonstrate the performance of several density-based methods in predicting the inversion of S1 and T1 states of a few N-heterocyclic triangulene based fused ring molecules (popularly known as INVEST molecules) with an eye to identify a well performing but cost-effective preliminary screening method. Both conventional linear-response time-dependent density functional theory (LR-TDDFT) and ΔSCF methods (namely maximum overlap method, square-gradient minimization method, and restricted open-shell Kohn-Sham) are considered for excited state computations using exchange-correlation (XC) functionals from different rungs of Jacob's ladder. A well-justified systematism is observed in the performance of the functionals when compared against fully internally contracted multireference configuration interaction singles and doubles and/or equation of motion coupled-cluster singles and doubles (EOM-CCSD), with the most important feature being the capture of spin-polarization in the presence of correlation.

BICSTaR (BICtegravir Single Tablet Regimen) is an ongoing, observational cohort study assessing the virologic effectiveness and safety of bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF) in treatment-experienced (TE) and treatment-naïve (TN) people with HIV across 14 countries over 24 months. We present 12-month outcomes from participants in the BICSTaR Japan cohort. Retrospective and prospective data were pooled from people with HIV aged ≥20 years receiving B/F/TAF within routine clinical care in Japan.

Determining how alveoli are formed and maintained is critical to understanding lung organogenesis and regeneration after injury. To study the cellular dynamics of this critical stage of lung development, we have used scanned oblique-plane illumination microscopy of living lung slices to observe alveologenesis in real time at high resolution over several days. Contrary to the prevailing notion that alveologenesis occurs by airspace subdivision via ingrowing septa, we find that alveoli form by ballooning epithelial outgrowth supported by contracting mesenchymal ring structures.
