We describe the synthesis of poly(glycidyl acetate--glycidyl butyrate carbonate)s the terpolymerization of glycidyl acetate (GA), glycidyl butyrate (GB), and CO by a cobalt salen complex in high atom economy. These new non-cytotoxic polycarbonates are pressure-sensitive adhesives, and peel testing shows the adhesive strength ranges from Scotch-Tape® to hot-melt glues based on glycidyl butyrate content. The tunable adherence, benign degradation products, and facile application and removal suggest their utility as temporary adhesives, such as those used in biomedical applications or medical devices. One polymer, (GA--GB)-87, exhibits the proper adhesive strength to sufficiently adhere a collagen buttress to the jaws of a steel surgical stapler and easily release the buttress after firing to successfully cut, close, and implant the buttress into lung tissue in an sheep model.

Further Characterization of Lipase B from Ustilago maydis Expressed in Pichia pastoris: a Member of the Candida antarctica Lipase B-like Superfamily.

Lipases from the basidiomycete fungus Ustilago maydis are promising but underexplored biocatalysts due to their high homology with Candida antarctica lipases. This study provides a comprehensive characterization of a recombinant CALB-like lipase from U. maydis, expressed in Pichia pastoris (rUMLB), and compares its properties with those of the well-studied recombinant lipase B from C.

Article Synopsis
- Blending poly(4-hydroxybutyrate) (P4HB) with polylactide (PLLA) helps to reduce the brittleness of PLLA, but their low compatibility requires the use of compatibilizers to enhance performance.
- Reactive compatibilizers like poly(methyl methacrylate-co-styrene-glycidyl methacrylate) (MSG) and non-reactive polyformaldehyde (POM) significantly improve the compatibility between the two polymers, achieving over 300% elongation at break at specific concentrations.
- Analysis techniques such as small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) reveal that MSG and POM

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how lipid-based formulations (LBFs) facilitate drug absorption in the gastrointestinal tract by examining several biological processes, including drug solubilization and intestinal permeability.
- Researchers enhanced an in vitro digestion-in-situ perfusion model to better simulate physiological conditions and analyzed the effects of certain polymeric precipitation inhibitors (PPIs) on drug absorption for two compounds, fenofibrate (FFB) and saquinavir (SQV).
- Results showed that for FFB, interaction with digestive fluids improved absorption and PPIs increased its supersaturation, but the same PPIs were ineffective for the Type IIIB LBF and showed limited impact on SQV absorption, highlighting the complexity of absorption processes
Comparative Profiling of Volatile Compounds in Popular South Indian Traditional and Modern Rice Varieties by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry Analysis.

School of Agriculture, PRIST Deemed University, Thanjavur, India.
Rice ( L.) is one of the major cereal crops cultivated across the world, particularly in Southeast Asia with 95% of global production. The present study was aimed to evaluate the total phenolic content (TPC) and to profile all the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of eight popular traditional and two modern rice varieties cultivated in South India.
