Saccharin is a versatile scaffold to build up different heterocycles with relevance in asymmetric catalysis, agricultural chemistry, medicinal chemistry, and so forth. Here, we report a photochemical strategy to obtain seven-membered ring benzosultams in one step, using saccharin anion as starting material. The reaction can be improved in a photoflow reactor and its scope was evaluated. Furthermore, computational study at the CASPT2//CASSCF level of theory was also performed to rationalize the involved mechanism.

Prolonged exposure of human dermal fibroblasts (HDF) to ultraviolet (UV) radiation triggers the production of reactive oxygen species by upregulating the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), causing type-I collagen degradation and photoaging. A sulfated (1 → 3)/(1 → 4) mannogalactan exopolysaccharide (BVP-2) characterized as [→3)-α-Galp-{(1 → 4)-α-6-O-SO-Manp}-(1 → 3)-α-6-O-SO-Galp-(1→] was isolated from seaweed-associated heterotrophic bacterium Bacillus velezensis MTCC13097. Whole genome analysis of B.

Pharmaceutical compounds are micropollutants of emerging concern, as well as other classes of chemicals such as UV filters and artificial sweeteners. They enter marine environments via wastewater treatment plants, aquaculture runoff, hospital effluents, and shipping activities. While many studies have investigated the presence and distribution of these pollutants in numerous coastal areas, our study is the first to focus on their occurrence, spatial distribution, and vertical distribution in the sea surface microlayer (SML) and the near-surface layer of marine environments.

The main aim of this experiment was to examine the claim that exposure to non-nutritive sweeteners weakens the formation of a sweet-calorie association. Three groups of food-deprived rats received training in which they drank an almond-flavored maltodextrin and saccharin solution. A final test phase assessed their preference for almond.

Chemogenetic activation of oxytocin receptor-expressing neurons in the parabrachial nucleus (Oxtr neurons) acts as a satiation signal for water. In this research, we investigated the effect of activating Oxtr neurons on satiation for different types of fluids. Chemogenetic activation of Oxtr neurons in male and female transgenic Oxtr mice robustly suppressed the rapid, initial (15-min) intake of several solutions after dehydration: water, sucrose, ethanol and saccharin, but only slightly decreased intake of Ensure®, a highly caloric solution (1 kcal/mL; containing 3.

This work investigated the adsorption of five model contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) that are released daily in domestic effluents (caffeine, hydrochlorothiazide, saccharin, sulfamethoxazole and sucralose) onto two activated carbons (ACs), in fixed-bed column experiments with different aqueous matrices (ultrapure water, wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluent and WWTP effluent pretreated by reverse osmosis and photoperoxidation (reuse water)). The ACs were chemically similar, but AC1 had smaller particles (0.7-1.
