AI Article Synopsis
- Population aging and advancements in transcatheter aortic valve replacement are driving an increased use of bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs), which typically fail within 12-15 years due to issues like leaflet tear and calcification.
- This study introduces a new method for cross-linking porcine pericardium using visible light and a photo-oxidation process, resulting in material with stability and mechanical properties similar to traditional glutaraldehyde cross-linked options.
- The novel material demonstrated better cytocompatibility and reduced calcification and tearing compared to glutaraldehyde cross-linked pericardium, suggesting it may lead to longer-lasting and more effective heart valves.
Article Abstract
Population aging and the development of transcatheter aortic valve replacement boost the implantation of bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs) in patients worldwide. However, the traditional glutaraldehyde cross-linked BHVs fail within 12-15 years mainly due to leaflet tear and calcification defects. In this study, a novel visible light-induced cross-linking of the porcine pericardium (PP) was realized by the photo-oxidation of the furfuryl-modified PP in the presence of Rose Bengal. The resulting material showed comparable collagen stability with the glutaraldehyde cross-linked PP and appropriate biomechanical properties such as tensile strength, modulus, and elongation, suggesting that this material could meet the general requirement for BHVs. Besides, this cross-linked PP showed significantly improved cytocompatibility compared with the Glut-cross-linked PP, with no cytotoxicity to L929 cells and the ability to support HUVECgrowth. Meanwhile, this material showed superior anti-tearing performance and much less calcification than the Glut-cross-linked PP in hope of reducing the risk of BHV failure. Considering these results, the visible light-induced cross-linking method proposed in this study could provide a promising way to construct a biocompatible and robust biomaterial for the fabrication of the BHV.

Herein, we report a visible-light-induced charge-transfer-complex-enabled dicarboxylation and deuterocarboxylation of C=C bonds with oxalate as a masked CO source under catalyst-free conditions. In this reaction, we disclosed the first example that the tetrabutylammonium oxalate could be able to aggregate with aryl substrates via π-cation interactions to form the charge transfer complexes, which subsequently triggers the single electron transfer from the oxalic dianion to the ammonium countercation under irradiation of 450 nm bule LEDs, releasing CO and CO radical anions. Diverse alkenes, dienes, trienes, and indoles, including challenging trisubstituted olefins, underwent dicarboxylation and anti-Markovnikov deuterocarboxylation with high selectivity to access valuable 1,2- and 1,4-dicarboxylic acids as well as indoline-derived diacids and β-deuterocarboxylic acids under mild conditions.

A photoinduced copper-mediated acyloxylation of arylthianthrenium or arylphenoxathiinium salts with either aliphatic or aromatic carboxylic acids is described for the convenient synthesis of -aryl esters. The reaction has shown obvious advantages, such as high efficiency, good functional group tolerance, excellent chemoselectivity, and capacity for esterification of complex drug molecules, offering a practical synthetic route to multifunctionalized and sterically congested -aryl esters, which are potentially useful in the development of new prodrugs or twin drugs.

Studies presenting visible-light-induced desulfurization of peptides containing a cysteine residue have been carried out. This transformation driven by light-emitting-diode-type light proceeds with high efficiency in an aqueous solution at room temperature and involves the use of a catalytic amount of photosensitizer, Rose Bengal. The procedure has been tested on model synthetic peptides, lysozyme C and α-crystallin, and successfully applied to a one-pot native chemical ligation (NCL)-desulfurization protocol.

Vicinal bis(tetraarylphosphonium) salts have scarcely been reported in the literature. In this study, we demonstrate that visible-light-induced difunctionalization of -trifluoromethylsulfonylated diaryliodonium salts conveniently furnishes bis(phosphonium) salts without additional catalysts or photoinitiators. The methodology establishes a practical platform for the preparation of bis(phosphonium) salts using readily available tertiary phosphines.

The insertion of carbene into secondary amide N-H bonds remains underexplored in organic synthesis. In this work, we discovered the visible-light-induced insertion of siloxycarbene into amide N-H bonds. This metal-free, facile reaction proceeds with atom economy under mild conditions with a broad range of secondary N-H amides, including benzanilide, acetanilide, oxindole, isatin, quinolinone, and maleimide, affording stable - and -acetals in excellent isolated yields.
