C-Terminal dipeptide isopropenyl esters were synthesised by a Cu(ii)-mediated Chan-Lam-Evans enol esterification of peptide carboxylic acids and isoprenyl boroxine. These shelf stable peptide esters could be coupled stereoselectively with a variety of amino acid and dipeptide nucleophiles in high yield and purity in the presence of pyrazole/DBU as the catalyst.

Tetracarpidium conophorum nuts are nutrient-dense Nigerian snacks associated with weight regulation. This study explores the nuts' impact on adipose tissue gene expression associated with low-grade inflammation. Ethanol whole extract (EWE), ethyl-acetate fraction (EAF) and the resulting residue (RES) were orally administered once daily to MSG-induced obese rats for 6 weeks (n = 6).

Enantiomerically pure 4-hydroxymorphan-7-ones were prepared in two steps from the natural product (R)-carvone. At first, the isopropenyl moiety of (R)-carvone was converted into the epoxide 7. A Domino reaction consisting of epoxide opening with primary amines followed by intramolecular conjugate addition of the resulting secondary amines at the α,β-unsaturated ketone established the morphan scaffold.

This study focused on the cross-linking of poly(2-isopropenyl-2-oxazoline) (PiPOx) with gelatin to obtain strong, degradable hybrid hydrogels with good cell adhesion. The molecular weight and concentration of PiPOx and the PiPOx-to-gelatin ratio were varied to adjust the mechanical and swelling properties of the hybrid hydrogels. The swelling degree of PiPOx-gelatin hydrogels in water ranged between 1260 and 810%, with the corresponding Young's compressive moduli ranging from 77 to 215 kPa.

Existing methods for the catalytic synthesis of -arylamides are limited by a narrow substrate scope, high catalyst costs, and complicated purification processes of products. To overcome these limitations, this study developed an ecofriendly method for the synthesis of -arylamides using isopropenyl esters. Isopropenyl esters activated using heterogeneous acid catalysts reacted smoothly even with less reactive arylamines to afford -arylamides in high yields.

Pharmacology experts place a high priority on therapeutic plants because the majority of pharmaceutical firms rely on medicinal plants as raw ingredients. Therefore, the potential bioactive components using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis and antioxidant effects using DPPH free radical scavenging activity of various crude fractions of Xanthium spinosum were assessed. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis showed the presence of various bioactive compounds including benzenedicarboxylic acid (18.
