A new method employing iron(III) acetylacetonate along with visible light is described to effect oxidative ring opening of cyclic ethers and acetals with unparalleled efficiency. The method allows for a photocatalytic radical chemistry approach to functionalize relatively inert cyclic ethers into useful synthetic intermediates. The methodology sheds further light on the use of underexplored iron complexes in visible-light photochemical contexts and illustrates that simple Fe(III) complexes can initiate redox processes from LMCT excited states.

Oxidative damage, oxidative inflammation, and a range of downstream diseases represent significant threats to human health. The application of natural antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents can help prevent and mitigate these associated diseases. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effectiveness of walnut green husk (WNGH) as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent in an in vitro setting.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic form of inflammatory bowel disease, which current treatments often show limited effectiveness. Ferroptosis, a newly recognized form of programmed cell death has been implicated in UC pathogenesis, suggesting that it may be viable therapeutic target. Tetrastigma hemsleyanum (TH) has shown potential anti-UC effects, though it is unclear whether its therapeutic benefits are mediated by ferroptosis.
